Miss Slbyl Wilbur, who has had
access to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy and
who has gone to the bottom Of the
controversy over the authorship of of
the Christian science doctrine, writes
of the subject as follows. for Human
Life of Boston:

aCaptain Winslow, of the United
States dredge boat Wallowa, has re-
turned from Portland, where he has
been in conference with United States
engineers relative to the river i'm
provement work that will receive at
tention this year between Lewiston
and Cello, says the Lewiston Tribune.
Captain Winslow states that the ap-
portionment of $125,000 made by the
state Of Washington for the improve
ment of the river between Riparia and
the mouth of the river between Ri
paria and the mouth of the Snake
will enable a great deal of effective
work to be done. This money Is to
be spent under the direction of the
United States engineers and they are
now preparing the plans for the same.
He states that the plan of having the
work done from scows seems to meet
with the greatest favor. These scows
can be constructed at comparatively
small cost and can be conveniently
dropped down the stream from one
point to another.
The work between Riparia and the
mouth of the Snake river is largely
confined to the removal of rock OBJ
structions and 1t has been demonstrate
ed that the scow is the most effective
facility for operations of this charac-
ter. The method is to lodge the scow
near the rocks and have 1t remain
there until the particular obstruction
Is entirely removed.
"The engineers are hoping that the
coming season will witness extremely
low water in the Snake" said Captain
| Winslow, because the improvement
work can then be carried on to the
greatest advantage. 1t is especially
desired that the greatest possible re-
suits be secured from the appropria-
ton made by the state of Washington
because the cooperation of the north
west states in the opening of the
waterway is so important"
II Captain winslow stated that he die
not know when the dredge boat Wal
Iowa would be ordered out for the sea
sons work on the Snake river above
Riparia. The available federal appro'
priation for this section of the river !:
$4,000. at is hoped" he said, "tha
the dredge can be put in service some
time in June. I do not know, but
believe the engineers will direct tina
the seasons work be largely Of thu
character carried on last season-th'
erection of dykes and the raking o
the channel on the more shallow
bars"

Washington, April In accordance
with their intention expressed some
time ago., the railroads constituting
the western trunk lines, the Central
Traffic association and the Eastern
trunk lines, have filed with the inter
state commerce commission tariffs in
creasing their rates on eastbound
grain and grain products, to become
effective about April /. This action
was taken, it is understood, because
Of the enactment by legislatures of
some of the western states of laws re-

The particular law to which the rail
roads took exception was the 2-cent
fare act of the legislature OF Ne

act. officials OF the railroads inter-
ested held a meeting in Chicago, at
which it was decided not only that
they should test the constitutionality
of the measure but that it would be
necessary for them TO increase their
freight rates on %eastbound grain.

New York, April 3.-The lunacy
commission inquiring into the present
mental state of Harry X. Thaw will
conclude its labors today and report
its conclusions to Justice Fitzgerald
before the hour set for the Thaw jury
to report in court tomorrow morning.
There will be q brief public session
to hear the testimony Of an alienist Of.
fered by District Attorney Jerome,
and then will follow a private mental
and physical examination of the de.
PENDANT. Only the members of the
commission and the official stenogra.
pher will be present at Thaw's last
ordeal, attorneys for the defense and

The announcement that the commits.
sion desired to renew its private exam.
ination of Thaw was in the nature Of a
complete surprise. The decision
probably was due to the conflicting
character Of the testimony. 1t was
another battle of alienists. Those en-.
gagged by the district attorney declared
Thaw absolutely incapable of under.
standing his condition. of realizing
the nature of the charge against him,
or of nationally comforting with coun.
sci, while those engaged by the de.
Tense declared Thaw throughout the
trial had acted in a rational manner,
had nationally advised his counsel in
their hearing and fully understood
and appreciated everything connected
with the trial.
