SERIOUSLY INJURED
In A PECULIAR WAY

CHENEY, Aug. 19.-J. Giovanni, an
Italian laborer on the PortlandS Seat
tie line, was probably fatally injured
Thursday. The Italians were prepar-
ing for a celebration which was to
have taken place and part of the
ceremony was to have been the killing
of a hog and the hanging of the body
in tree.
Giovanni had climed the tree and
had made fast one end of log chain,
the end having the hook about five
feet from the ground. In descending
catching him he was badly injured. He
is reported to be in a very serious
condition.

AGE OF FARMER COOPERATION

The Friday Harbor Journal pub

the beneficial results of farmer co-ope-
ration. 1t states that the Lopez Island
Telephone company has 6S subscrib

island, says the P.-I.
The company is simply a home or
ganiZation of farmers The system
cost each man SIS and gave the indi-

An annual maintenance fee of Sc pays
all operating expenses and leaves a
good balance in the treasury Even
the most distant and out -the-way
points on the island are connected by
the telephone. and central station
is supplied with salaried operator,
and there are no complaints of bad
service.
We are living in an age of farmer
cooperation. Tillers of the soil have
long since learned the lesson of how
have linked the city and country with
telephone and rural mails. They are
building more aid better roads and
establishing an era of financial indie
pendence. They are adopting bust
ness methods and making of the farm
cash dividend payer in all its branch

department store, in which are offered
for sale the numerous products OF
farm, orchard ard garden. And the
farmers are assisting each other in q

The government committee, which
consisted of Secretary Taft, Senator

invited jury of three prominent
American sculptors, Messrs. dorado
Taft, of Chicago, and Daniel Chester
French and Henry M. Schrady, of New
York, to choose the three best models,
there being three premiums of $1,000,
5000 and $40o, respectively The first
premium was accorded by the commit
tee to the model sent by Antoni Po-
piel, of I.wow, Lemberg, Austrian
Poland.
President Roosevelt at special in.
yitation from the Polish alliance visit
ed the exhibition and expressed his
opinion that the model of Mr.. Popiel
is the most acceptable.
The model represents Kosciuszko as
hero of both hemispheres, as he is
usually called by the Poles. At the

American eagle guarding it's liberty.
In the rear the other hemisphere, bear

Tadeusz Kosciuszko was born in
Poland in 1746 and received his mill
tary education In the Academy for
Cadets in Warsaw, and subsequently
in Paris. In 1776 he came to America
with recommendation from Benjamin
Franklin and was given by Washing
ton the commission of colonel OF en-
gineers. He planned the fortified camp
OF Gen. Gates In 1777. and was OF great
service in the campaign, which ended
with the surrender Of Bourgoyne at
Saratoga. He chose the place for a
fortress On the banks Of Hudson and
planned and supervised the construc-

ERECTED IN WASHINGTON.
Memorial to Patriot Presented 10
America by FelIow-countrymsn
-Popiel's Model Accepted
by Committee.

Washington.-Two years ago the
Polish National Alliance of the United
States conceived the idea OF present
ing to the American people a monu-
ment Of Gen. Tadeusz Kosciuszko. to
be erected at Washington In Lafayette
square. where the monuments Of
Lafayette and Rochanbeau are stand
ing and where a monument to Baron
Won Steuben will be raised In the near
future. The plan was to have the
memory of all the most prominent OH
GERS who fought for the independence
of the United States thus honored by
monuments in the capital of the
nation.
The government having appropri-
ated $4,000 for monument to Gen.
Pulaski, who fought for the liberty of
this country and who fell in the battle
of Savannah in 1879. the Polish Ma
tional alliance felt 1t to be the duty of
Polish-.Americans to reciprocate by
presenting a monument of the other
Polish patriot who lent his sword to
the cause of liberty of America.
The gift having been accepted by
congress and the president and the
fund having been started by means of
a special assessment from every mem
Der of the alliance, a contest was an
nounced in the Polish papers in Eu-
rope and America for model which
would satisfy the governments com
mission in Washington. In the middle
OF December, 1906, models began to
arrive and finally there was opened in
the Corcoran gallery in Washington
an impressive exhibition of 20 models,
