Politics Won't Interfere.

In regard to drainage legislation,
President Cashel says:
"All is being done at the present
that can be done until the legislature
meets. A bill is being prepared to
present to a drainage convention, to
be called in November, to be consid-
cred and approved. We expect to get
legislation through next winter that
will enable the farmers of the Red
river valley to commence draining by
June l, 1907, under new law with
plenty of money at per cent inter-
est" When asked if politics would
not interfere with his time to give
attention to drainage, he said: "No,
drainage, politics and business will all
receive proper and prompt attention.
None will be sighted"

Could Not po the WORK.

Professor Stein, who was employed
by the Thompson school board to teach
the school at that place, after spending
few days in vain effort to carry out
his contract, left for parts unknown.
The board had prescribed course of
study for the school and required that
he should teach the subjects set forth.
He refused to teach number of the
subjects prescribed, and stated that he
was not able to teach number OF
others. Thereupon the board decided
that he had best quit, as it was mani
fest that he was not competent for the
position. He did so, and Professor
Sturch was secured to fill his place.
The latter is making good, and how
Stein ever hoped to fill the position
is a mystery.

London. Sept. 1.-THE Heath is re-

ing of the first Atlantic cable. The
captain was born in 1915, and entered
the navy in early youth.
He was prominent in the Syrian
naval operations of 1910 and was mas
ter of ship during the Russian war.
But it was work as master of cable
laying ships which obtained most re-
cognition for Capt. Moriarity. He COM
manded H. NJ S. Agamemnon, which,
with the L. S. frigate Niagara, laid the
Atlantic cable in 1857, and spliced it
in mid-ocean. 1t was tremendous
effort for little result. Only a few
messages were transmitted when the
cable retired from business. Though
in his 92nd year. Capt. Moriarity was
quite active until a few days before
his death.
