How many readers know wnere
are located the graves of all the for
mer presidents of the United States?
A writer in the New York World
thus describes them:
There, is today no living expresi-
dent Of this nation. OF President
Roosevelt's twenty-four predecessors
the tombs are scattered over eleven
States as follows.
l. George Washington-His tomb
stands near, and within sight of, the
historic mansion on the sixty acres
of his old plantation, now owned by
the Mount Vernon association, Oh
the Virginia siGe of the Potomac riV
er, sixteen miles below Washington.
The burial vault is. a plain brick
structure, built according to direc-
tions left by Washington in his will.
On a marble slab over the gates Is
craven the inscriptions:
within This Enclosure Rest the
Remains Of
General George Washington"
In plain view, just inside the iron
grill, are two marble sarcophagi, one
simply lettered washington" the
other Martha, Consort of Washing
ton"
2 and 6. John Adams and JohR
Quincy Adams.-The bodies OF both
these patriots are entombed beneath
the portico of the Unitarian church
at Quincy, Mass. No monument or
exterior sign marks the spot where
rest father and son, both great
fighters for our national indepen-
dence.
8. Thomas Jefferson.-He served
his country for forty-four years, dy-
ing a comparatively poor man, and
was buried in the private burying
ground near the road leading TO
Monticello from Charlottesville, Va.
A little stone marked the spot for
fifty-seven years. AS 1t was fast
going to decay, congress finally
erected monument inscribed,
Here was buried Thomas Jefferson,
Author of the Declaration of indie.
pendence." 1t is granite SHAFT
eighteen feet high.
4. James Madison.-Like JET
ferson, Madison was buried on his
own farm, this being near Monticello,
Va. For twenty-five years the spot
was unmarked, until finally public
spirit started subscription and
erected shaft marked Madison y
It stands twenty-four feet high. 1t
is not even today positively deter
mined whether the monument stands
at the spot where the body was buri-
ed, as there never had been any
marking of the grave.
5. James ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

mention the subject has President
Monroe buried in the old "Marbls

NAMING BOYS.
Invitation

Whatever you do, never name a
boy after yourself" was a saying Of
Uncle Lafe Hume of Columbia, and it
is wise conclusion for more reasons
than one.
In after years the father and son are
referred to as Big John" or Ragged
john" Little John So and So," or
"Old Tom and Young Tom," and Big
Dick" Little Peel Head" and the
like. In the family the youngster is
generally called brother" babe"
"buss," Dock Cud' or "Maunch" and
the like, while the old gentleman is
dubbed the old man." or dad, -
or paw" Just as well give your boy
a nickname at the start as to name
him after yourself.-Sturgeon Leader

INDIA FAMINE CON-
DITIONS GROW WORSE

Despite the declaration of the Brit
ish officials that they have the situ-
alton under control and that sufficient
relief supplies have been provided to
prevent any desperate suffering. re-
ports from the interior state that the
famine conditions are daily growing
worse.
over a million natives are declar-
ed to be on the verge of starvation.
thousands are said to have succumb-
ed with in the last few weeks and
gloomy prophesies are made that no
less than 100000 will be forced to
subsist on charity or die miserably
during the summer and autumn.
While all of these statements can.
not be verified, owing to the secrecy
OF the government, which fears a
widespread insurrectionary movement
there is little doubt that India is fac
ing a grave crisis.
The recurrence OF these terrible
famines is due to several causes, most
ly attributable TO the influence of the
British government. Four-fifths Of
the population are now entirely de-
pendent on capricious crops for their
sustenance, and although great irri-
cation works have been carried out,
the state Of agriculture is still very
unstable.
Each peasant cultivates a little
patch Of land, which supplies the bare
living for himself and his family
When the crop fails they are faced
with starvation. The British regime
provides regular employment for only
a fraction Of the natives, while it has
killed great deal Of the native in
dustry and has imposed other condi-
tions on the people which work
against the prosperity Of the natives.
The taxes are high. and the economic
system imposed by British rule is un-

opened for operation.

at Lewiston Junction, a short distance
from Rlparia and will be hauled over
the new track to Lewiston, the pres

The through car from Portland ar
rives at Lewiston the following morn
ing at 8 o'clock, and the same sched-
ule will be. maintained daily. This
places the Idaho city into close touch
with Portland.
A complete list of officials for the
new road have been named by ]. p.
O'Brien, president. The appointments
are uniform with the official list OF
the other allied Hartman roads in
this territory and are effective today.
The officers Of the new line are as
follows:
General attorney w. w. Cotton:
auditor, r. Blaisdell; general superin-
tendent, NJ. J. Buckley; chief engineer,
George w. Boschke; superintendent

The freight department is arranging
tariffs to handle traffic over the new
line and will take care of local busi-
ness and freight between o. r. & n.

commencing July IL. Permission has
been asked Of the interstate commerce
commission to put in through freight
rates and as soon as that body is
heard from tariffs will issue for that

suited to the conditions OF native life.
Besides the millions OF peasants
who are liable to starvation at the
slightest failure OF crops, there is an
enormous population OF beggars' and
voorhees, people whose condition is
entirely hopeless during a famine.
Many thousands OF these are doomed
10 lingering death from inanitlon.
The condition of the poor cratures
affected by the famine is pitiful be-
yond words. Those who are forced
to apply for government relief have
been already living for months on
half or a quarter their usual allow
ances OF food. Long experience has
Injured them to living on next to MOTH
ing. Many families have been living
on a daily handful of dried peas, oc-
casionally varied by wild fruit and
roots, or even less palatable food.
The famine being spread over vast
territory, thousands OF the natives are
miles from a government relief de-
pot, and many of them die because
they cannot drag their wasted bodies
to the depots. For every thousand
persons who get relief, there must be
as many who are too weak, or per-
haps too proud, to apply for 1t.
