All at Il.

A farmer, going to church, came
up with squad of men working
the roads. He abandoned going
to church and drove to town ia
notify the Prosecutor that the
men wOr. ing the roads were viola
ting the Sabbath and should he
prosecuted. He found the Prose :
cutor busy pulling weeds in the
garden. He stopped long enough,
however, to advise the farmer to
go before the justice of peace.
But the justice was out fixing his
windmill, He was then asked TO
telephone the sheriff, but that
official was loading cattle at the
stock yards. Thoroughly in
dignant, the man determined to
notify the constable. But the
constable's wife who was canning
fruit, told him that the boys had
driven the horses to town where
they had gone to attend baseball
game. The girls, she said, had
gone to picnic. WhereupOn he
gave it up, and, filling jug with
hard cider, went fishing down on
Ealterssk.

Letter From Mrs. Agnes
Crawford.

SEATTLE, WASH, OCT. II, 1907.
DEAR PEOPLE or LOGAN
! have wanted for some time to
write a letter to you telling some
thing of this vast country, as |
think some of you may feel inter
ested in it.
My sister, her two children, my
three children and myself started
in June on our long journey to
Seattle. We stopped at Winona,
Minnesota to visit our brother.
Here we had fine time. The
Mississippi is here large river
unexpectedly SO so near the source,
On July 18th we started for Seattle
via the Canadian Pacific Railway.
/ f any of you come to this country
do take this route as it is one of
the grandest trips in the world.
1t has been described as thirty
Switzerlands rolled into one. One
naturally breads the long journey
on the cars, but it isn't nearly as
tiresome as shorter journey of
say day and night because you
get used to it and get acquainted
with the passengers and have lots
of fun. The time passed very
pleasantly go that we didn't notice
the monotony of the great plains
we passed through. We reached
the mountains the evening of the
third day, after this all was excite
ment running from one side of the
cars to the other,as both presented
such an interesting array that one
could not sit still. We reached
Haggan at about 5 80 p. IN. where
we had decided to stop. We were
driven up the mountain about three
miles where the Canadian Pacific
hotel Lake Louise Chalet is situat-
ed, The hotel fronts Lake Louise
and don t see how anything could
be more ideally beautiful than this
spot. The lake is about two miles
long and one mile wide al d is en-
tirely hemmed in by mountains.
AT the farther end of the lake 1t
comes to point and there facing
the hotel is mountain with a
great glacier on its summit. The
ice is said to be five hundred feet
thick and the glacier ten miles
away This hardly seems possible
as is seems to come right up to the
end of the lake and it is reelected
in the lake. The water Of this
lake is the most exquisite color |
have ever seen, deep emerald
green. The water was so placid
when we were there that it reflect
ed the green of the mountain sides
which was of an entirely different
color. Then the snow white top
of the glacial mountain back of il
was also reflected and the rugged
granite boulders of the other
mountains. The effect is indie
scribably lovely. The water is
said to be seven hundred feet deep
notwithstanding which, we took |
a boat and rowed to the end of the
lake. Here we climbed the noun,
tain almost to the top 10 see Lake |
Agnes, the lake in the clouds, ii is
called, We came across some snow
on IL e way up and made snowballs
This has the same peculiar color OF
green as Lake Louise. We had
some magnificent views coming !

HOW DOES SHE
LOOK IN OHIO?
Municipal Campaigns Very
Warm in the Cities.

The municipal campaigns
throughout Ohio, especially those
of the larger cities, are furnish
ing excellent opportunity for the
play OF state and national politics
of the Republican variety, For
aker promptly recognized the open
ing and lost no time in taking ad-
vantage of it. The Taft people,
on the other hand, are getting in
bad in most oft he fights, and their
attitude will undoubtedly cost
them dear when the struggle for
delegates to the national conven-
tion take place. On the surface
the Cox organization at Ciucin-
natl, having declared for Taft, is
antagonistlc to the senator. In
stead of sulking, the latter, con-
trary to the expectation and hope
of the Taft managers, advised all
his friends to give loyal support
to the Cox (Republican) ticket.
This advice means a great deal.
Cox is both grateful and revenge
full. Taft, much as he would like
to, is barred by his Akron speech
of two years ago from advising
his friends as Foraker has done.
After the election in November the
big boss will be free to act as be
pleases and the power will be his
absolutely to name the four dele
gates from Cincinnati to the
national convention. Will he
hand them over to Taft or will
they be for Foraker or at Foraker's
disposal? In the Cincinnati fight
Foraker and the Forakerites are
Irregular" while the Taftites are
divided, half supporting Cox and
half opposing with Taft himself
lodging
The Dayton contest shows up
the irregularity OF tine Taft forces
even more strikingly than at Gin
cinnati' In that city Foraker peo-
pie won out before the Republican
primaries and named the ticket,
while the Taft faction, soured by
defeat, are placing so many OBJ
structiOns upon the Republican
track that sweeping Democratic
victory appears almost inevitable.
At Columbus the same situation is
shown-the Forakerites regular
and supporting the ticket and the
Taftites divided, a majority of
their leaders and all their news
papers lending comfort if not ac-
tive support to the Democratic
ticket and throwing hrickbats and
monkey -wrenches galore into the
Republican machinery.
In numerous other cities it is the
same, Foraker urging his following
to be loyal to the ticket and Taft
as silent os a clam. All this will
have bearing upon future party
fights unless political precedents
are set at naught. Organization
meu will control the state and
most of the district conventions
next year az in the past, Loyalty
is their creed and it Is contrary to
human experience to expect men
of the mold of Boss Cox to turn
down their friends and reward
their enemies. lie s evident there
fore that Foraker is playing
"practlcal' politics and equally
evident that Taft is not The

of go vast an extent as to make it
seem as though the whole world
were compose ed of mountains. The
no tel is charmingly furnished with
oriental hangings and furniture
Of all sorts, presumably imported
from the Orient by the G. z. r..
All of the servants were Cinnamon.
The next evening we left for
Field, the next show place on the
road. Here we stayed at the
hotel Mount Stephan, named for
the mountain right back of the
hotel. Here we took a lovely
mountain drive of eight miles to
Emerald Lake, rightly named, for
1T was of the same charming hue
| have described before.
AT Field we boarded the train
to stay until we reached Van
couver. This is the most eXcit-
ing part of the journey, for we
are right among the mountains,
and see the most frightful gorges,
cany ons and mountain torrents
every moment of the time. At
one place the track forms com
plete loop, and one cannot but ad-
mire and wonder at the remark
able engineering feats everywhere
noticeable, and marvel too, at the
wonderful pluck which overcame
the almost insurmountable Difficult
ties of building railroad among
these mountains.
The next day at noon we cached
Vancouver, b. c., a thriving pop
ulous city, which has lost the
painfully new look | noticed in the
Canadian towns we passed
through. Here we stayed day
and visited a grand park owned
by the city, called Stanley Park.
In it are some OF the most magni-
ficent fir trees, from 200 to $50
feet high and some as much as 25
or 30 feet in diameter at the base.
One was large enough for the
large automobile in which we
were riding to stand in the hollow
of it. A man wanted to take our
pictures in our machine, but we
had to deny ourselves this pleas
ure for the lack of time.
Next day We boarded the beau
tiful steamer, "The Princess Vic
toria," for Seattle, We had a
beautiful ride on the Sound, a
magnificent body of water. We
stopped short time at Victoria,
b. g., and saw the parliament
houses, as this is the seat of gov
ernment for this district Of British
Columbia. The great reaches of
water looked like the ocean itself,
as in one direction one could see
no land. We landed at eleven p.
IN. and after a tiresome delay at
the custom house, (for you see we
were entering the u. s. again, af-
ter having been on British soil for
many days,) we, at last, We're
heartily greeted by my sister and
her husband, who were eagerly
awaiting us.
The entrance into the harbor at
night is very fine, thousands of
lights cleaning from the streets,
rising tier upon tier like terraces
lfp from the water. We found my
sister had made all arrangements
for us to go camping next day, so
we accordingly went, knowing we
could see Seattle some other time,

Atterney-General Jackson So Holds II
Deciding On Tax Case.

ALBANY, June i3--Attorney. General
Jackson gave an opinion 10 the state
tax commissioners today In which he
said that the courts have held thai
oysters are wild animals and that the
lands upon which they are planted are
subject TO the same rules OF taxation
as other real property. They become
personal property when they are re.
claimed Or artitlcially planted.
The opinion was called forth In an
swer to a letter received BY the state
commission from G. Frank Tuthill,, SUI
neryisor Of the Town Of Sonthold, in.
quiring whether oyster beds should be
assessed as real or personal property
and 10 what purpose the taxes derived
therefrom are to be devoted. The plant
ed oysters. the attorney.general says,
would be assessable as personal prop
erty. He says he knows Of no statute
applying the taxea derived from the
assessment Of oyster beds 10 any spec,
ial purpose.

NEW YORK, June l3,--Colonel w
G. Gorgas, U. S. A., federal commission
er, in charge of the sanitation in the
Panama canal zone addressing the
graduating class of the Cornell Uniyer'
sity Medical College here, propheised
that "Gradually within the next
two or three centuries tropical coun-
tries, which offer much greater return
for mans labor than 10 the Temperate
zones, will be settled by the white
races and that again the centels OF
wealth, civilization and population will
be in the tropic, a. they were in the
dawn Of mans history, rather than in
the temperate gone as at present"
Colonel Gorgas bases his opinion on
the sanitary achievements since the
American military occupation Of Cuba
in 1898, and those in the canal zone
since American possession in May, 1904,
The last case Of yellow fever in the
canal zone, he said, occurred in December,
1906, which was only about sixteen
months later. He described the war of
annihilation waged against the stego-
myia yellow fever mosquitol and
against the anopheles lmahrial mo-
squito, and continued;

where on the lsthmus for more than
a year. We believe that in the towns
Of Panama and Colon the stegomyia
have been SO reduced in number--in
fact almost exterminated--that yellow
fever would not spread II introduced.

The series OF quickly delivered at

confessing all. Mcfarland had told him
that he was doing great service for the
state and that states were kind 70
