United Medical Colleges

It Is announced on presumably good
authority that the officials OF the A1edi-
cal College OF Virginia and the Uni

are getting closer together on the prop
osltion to unite the two schools IN the
Interest of both schools It is very much
to be hoped that the plan for consoli-
dalton will be consummatcd ana we
would like to see united with them In
Richmond tho medical department OF the
university OF Virginia. In this day,
when the medical schools at Richmond
and that at tho University must come
in competition Will, the sp!endidly

1T Is almost n necessity that schools
In Virginia should combine their re-
splendid service in the past, and SO
far rs theoretical medicine Is concerned
no colleges In the county have turned
out more efficient men than the Uni
verify OF Virginia. What these men
have lacked hns been the practical work
to be had in large hospitals. Consoli-
dalton. with the schools located In Rich
mond, would entirely eliminate this dis
advantage under which the University
and tho Richmond schools would be
equally benefited by the acquisition Of
the University medical faculty. etc.

The scorpion of Ceylon.

A more disagreeable object than a
scorpion of Ceylon it would be difficult
to imagine. Although, as rule, it does
not measure more than seven inches in
length, there is species found in the
woods that are longer than foot.
They crawl out of some dried wood,
and, taking up their position on con-
venient rock or stone, look, as they
hold their great jointed sting curved
over their backs and their claws held
aloft, the very picture of aggressive
warfare. Here they stretch themselves
IL the broiling sun and await their
prey. These are the small, beautiful
honeybirds that dart from flower to
flower and take the place of the hum
ming birds of the east. AS one ap-
proaches the scorpion seems to shrink
into the stone until It becomes almost
imperceptible. Suddenly the great in
sect will raise Its claws and dart at Its
beautiful victim, which in moment
is destroyed.

That others have also failed to solve
the riddles is shown by the follow

plicants for certificates appeared,
several to write for first grade pa
pers. With the exception of the
questions in civil government,
which are unusually difficult, the
test in the different subjects is sat-
isfactory to the teachers. Questions
Nos. 1, 2 and 6 seem to puzzle
everyone. They are as follows !:

government is properly a national

such, but is, as we'll, partly federal.

The basis of the suit is as fol-
lows: Five-Mile creek an Three
Mile creek are two streams some
six or eight miles from Boise that
are only flood water streams, but
after the subsistence of the flood
waters in the spring, waste waters
from the New York ditch empty in
to their channels.
Muller first located on these
streams and appropriated As inches
of the water for his own use. Later,
as the wet water supply seemed to
increase, he enlarged his ditch and
planned to sell water from his ditch
to those below him. The first con-
tcntion in the suit was made by l..
L. Fulsom, across whose land the
waste water flowed, in which he
contended that an appropriation of
the waste water from the New York
ditch could not be made. 0. l..
Gibson and Sallie Clawson claimed
right to this waste water superior
to the right of Muller, SO far as the
water he was selling from his en-
larged ditch was concerned.
1t will be seen from the decision
that the court held that these waste
waters could be appropriated and
decreed, and that the rights of Glib
son and Clawson were superior to
the second right of Muller, but not
his first right. The enlargement of
the ditch by Muller did not give
him right to the increased amount
of water the same date as the orig
inal appropriation, but it must
date from the enlargement of the
ditch. Statesman.

in 1906.
The Great Northern showing is
decidedly different in many ways,
especially as the tax on the mileage
basis is very high, owing to large
tax paid on terminals with actual
short mileage. Thus the Great
Northern paid in Wisconsin at the
rate of $1007 per mile in 1905 and

RAILROADS PAY LEAST
TAXES PER MILE IN IDAHO

Says press dispatch from Olym-
pia, Washington: The Northern
Pacific paid less taxes per mile of
trackin Oregon in 1905 than in
any other state it traverscs, but this
year Idaho is the low state. One
of the features of the report of
the Washington railroad commits
sions report to the leg islature will
deal with this matter of taxes paid,
taking the figures submitted by the
financial depai tments of the several
roads. This data has to a large
extent been already complied.
Comparisons are incomplete between
this and last year in all instances
because the roads did not all report
in 1905, the o. R. & N. being one
of the delinquents in this respect,
and all have not so far reported this
year.
Per mile of single track within
the several states the Northern Pa
cific paid taxes in 1905 in Wiscon-
sin at $179 per mile and in 1906 al
1902 per mile; in Minnesota at
1861 and $40 for the respective
years; North Dakota 1924 and $311;
Montana, $3.50 and $276; Idaho,
$287 and $255; Oregon, 1921 ano

$500. In Wisconsin and Minnesota
alone did the road pay tax or
earnings and dividends, aggregating
in the two states 1867, 253.61 ir
1905 and $500, 278. 3s in 1906.
These figures are interesting in
view of the fact that the tota

ONIONS AND OTHER SEEDS
GAN BE PLANTED IN THE FALL

Very few gardeners know that
onions can be planted to good adj
vantage this month. 1t is a fact
that onions will do better planted
now than in the spring. Put them
in as late as you can, SO that they
will not start to grow, but will be
there ready to come up first thing
in the spring. Often in the spring
it will be SO wet in March and
April that the ground cannot be
worked, and you have to delay
onion planting till late and get
light crop in consequence, for onions
are a thing that must be planted
very early. Prepare the ground
just as you would for spring plant
ing and drill the seed in just the
same way. You will have to guess
on the weather as to when will be
the best time to do this. 1t must
be late enough that this seed will
not sprout, but not SO late that the
ground will freeze before you get
the planting done.
Onion sets are best set out in the
fall too. Take any kind of sets and
set them in burrows just as you
would in the spring. In rows a
foot apart, If to be tended by hand,
or in rows three feet apart, if to be
tended by horse power. Cover the
sets about two or three inches deep
and they will live through the win
ter all right. A little mulching
will not hurt them, but it is not
necessary in any ordinary winter.
Asparagus and rhubarb seed
should be sown in the fall, too.
They may come all right in the
spring, but they will come much
better if sown now. Both are very
slow to start, taking about month
to terminate, and if sown in the
spring they will be so long coming
