News Of the death of Mr.. Charles
Tozier, which occurred at his home
in this village, March 25, from pneu-
monia, came as a surprise to large
circle of friends, while his relatives,
outside his immediate family, were
not aware of his illness. He had
been in his usual good health up to
within week of his death when he
was taken with an attack of the grip.
a physician was called and after
the necessary attention to such
cases, he appeared to be getting along
however, began to show the fourth
day. These developed 50 rapidly
that his family and friends were not
conscious of the seriousness of his
condition until within twenty four
hours of his death. Medical aid was
of no avail to save, nor the loving,
devoted care of faithful wife.
The deceased was born in Bingham,
Me-, and was the son of Syivestus and
Sirena Tozier and was 81 years nine
months and 81 days old. He was
married 81 years ago last October to
Miss Annie Corson. One child was
born to them but that died in infancy.
Besides the widow, who survives
him, he leaves an aged mother, three
brothers, and one sister, all of whom
were present at the funeral, which
was held the following Saturday at
his late home. The services were
conducted by Rev. B. Fl. Johnson.
The sympathy OF the community is
extended to the wife who is so
denly bereft, while she loss OF g.

can be bestowed upon any man by

The Governor was not too i'll or in
capacitated for business to prevent
him from sending in two healthy We
to prevent a treasury grab. Several
years ago DeForest Keyes came down
into Maine and paid $4,000 for State
tax deeds of property that afterwards
could not be found. He took his
chances, as all do who engage in that
business, and lost. Now he comes
back and asks the State to reim-
burse him. Both branches SO voted,
but the Governor stepped in with
his veto, and it was sustained, SINH
lar action was taken on a claim of
Herbert NJ. Kimball.
The so-called Hastings bill (de-
handing Jail sentences in all liquor
convictions received veto from the
Governor, who claimed that to re-
move discretionary power from the
judiciary in many cases might work
hardship, and even cruelty. He had
the fullest confidence in the integrity
of the Court. The veto was sustain

the various town and city agencies

President of the Senate Deasy and
Speaker of the House Weeks, were

No Guardianship for Veterans.

In the Senate Senator Campbell's
bill. repeating Colorado statutes which
require that all old soldiers and sailors
entering the Soldiers and Sailors
Home shall turn over their pensions to
the commandant, was passed to third
reading. The United States laws re-
quire that pensioners OF the govern.
ment shall not turn their money over
to anyone. but shall keep 1t themselves.
Senator Bohn, an old soldier, said 1t
was an outrage TO make the command
ant guardian OF the old soldiers. be-
sides being violation OF the constitu-
ten. "The custom arose because II
was feared that the old soldiers would
go into town pension day and get
drunk" said Senator Bonn. We'll. II
they want to get drunk. let them. They
have right to do so. They fought for
the country and have a right to any
pleasure they may get out of their pen
sions. II Is nobody's business" 1t was
stated that as much AS $4,000 passes
through the commandant's hands from
this source alone every year.

Irrigation Measures.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Representa-
tives Clark and Weiser, Senator Car.
penter of the agriculture and irriga-
ton committee called a meeting Of
those interested in irrigation, at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
ton districts agreed to submit their
written opinions to the committee on
the legal phase of the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions will
ing which bill to advocate. The three
bills under consideration of the COM
mittee greatly concern farmers and the
state as we'll.
1t il proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two of the bills and in the third to
allow owners of desert and homestead
government lands to come In under the
benefit of irrigation districts, while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because it
would give a more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance of state lands into irrigation
districts. 1t is backed by the Land
board, which in one county has 10000
acres of land entered The value OF
the land to the state is increased be-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
land Just as it would tax any other
land held by a member OF the district.
thereby adding to the revenue of the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al
though not becoming member upon
the same footing as other members Of
the district.
