To Our Subscribers,

By an order of the postoffice de-
partment, publishers Of weekly
newspapers are denied the right to
send their papers as second class
mail matter to any subscriber who
is more than one year in arrears
on his subscription. This order
has however been modified by a
ruling as follows:
1Where a publisher extends
credit upon express request Of the
subscriber for a definite period Of
time, combined with a promise to
pay, il would be held that copies
In fnlfillment of such renewal could
be continued to be sent at the us
nal second class rates, except in
cases where it appeared that an
abuse OF the second class mailing
privilege resulted
In compliance with these rulings
we must ask our subscribers who
are more than one year in arrears
to kindly remit in order to avoid
the extra rates Of postage. If this
is announcement at the present time,
then please send written request to
continue the paper with promise to

through which the waters of the
Aletsch glacier reach the RhOne.
The farmers there are very poor, and
wrest with difficulty a slender liveli-
hood from the meagre fields. But
these fields have again been Destroy
ed, and much damage has been done
to property along the Rhone far to
the west.
Rarely have the people received
any warning of the approach of the
torrent But since 1887 they have
slept securely, believing that the
treacherous lake would never harm
them again.
Engineers studied the problem of
safeguarding them from the constant
danger. They found the cause of the
trouble to be the opening of deep
.crevasses on the side of the glacier,
against which the lake adults. In
1887 a stone wall was built along
the glacier edge while the lake was
empty.

WHITE SKIN ON NEGRO.
Grated on Her Face to Save Life
After Horrible Burn.

A Camden, N. j., dispatch says:
Bertha Reed, negro child, will have
partly white face when she leaves
the West Jersey Hospital. She was
badly burned at her home in Pal
myra while playing near a bonfire,
and the physicians at the hospital
feared for a time that her life could
not be saved They then called for
patches of skin to graft on the child.
Several of the nurses volunteered,
and large patches of white skin now
cover the child's face. The physi-
clans are interested in the case, es-
pecially in noting whether or not
the white skin will ultimately be-
come dark as that of the child before
she received the burns.

of the wall became undermined, and
through the opening the lake drain
ed away into a deep crevasse that
split the side of the glacier from top
to bottom. More adequate means of
protection must now be sought.
The lake derives it's waters from
the melting SHOWS of the surround
ing mountains. When the crevasse
that opens a door of escape to the
waters passes beyond the western
limit of the lake the basin begins to
fill again.
The lake was drained in January,
1888, and on July 10 it was full

MARJELEN THE MOST FAMOUS

Those who visit the Alps know
the magnificent panorama that is
unfolded from the top of the Eggs
norm, the highest summit on the
rocky glacier between the great gla-
cler Of Aletsch and the valley of the
Rhone.
There is a splendid view over the
Bernese Alps to the north, and the
tumble of snow peaks to the south
are revealed in all their grandeur.
But the sight that first of all at
tracts attention is the Aletsch gla-

waters and the tiny icebergs on its

ODD SITUATION IN OREGON
REPUBLICANS CHOSEN TO ELECT
DEMOCRAT A SENATOR.

The Election for United States Sena-
tor and Members of Legisla-

A Portland, Ore, dispatch says
Governor George E. Chamberlain,
democrat, is the choice of the people
of Oregon for the United States sena-
torship to succeed Charles w Full
ton, republican, and republican
Legislature has been chosen to elect
him. Chamberlain majority over
his opponent, Henry M. Cake, will
excee 1000, it is believed.
Chamberlain victory is in the ma
ture of personal triumph. Oregon
normally is republican, and in 1904
Roosevelt's plurality was 42,424.
Chamberlain has twice been elected
governor of that state.
The selection of Chamberlain by
the people is but preliminary step

The complexion of the next legis

will be almost unanimously republic

lican legislature to send a democrat
to the senate. Already there is talk
of detection from the ranks of the

is not impossible that in the seven
months intervening between now and
the date of the next session of the
legislature some plan may be devils
