GOV. BRADY ON BRIDGES,

In recent letter to Representative
Parsons, Gov. Brady expresses sin
cere regret that he could not have
done more for our section of the state
than he did. He says:
Il wish to assure you that it was a
great pleasure to me to be able to find
a way to sign the Golf Bridge Bill,
and my only regret is that ! was I'M
able TO give you the full amount; but
! strained the matter as far as | could,
and hope you will express TO your
people that did all could under
the circumstance for you.'
1t will be remembered that the APP
preparations were greatly in excess of
the available funds for meeting the
same, and that the governor was Fore
ed to cut the garment according to
the CLOTH" which meant the vetoing
of quite a number of worthy bills,
and the cutting down of the appro-
priations for others. The Kooskia
bridge had to suffer for this reason,
along withother needed Improvements.
However, we are glad to get the
Golf appropriation, and we hope that
the Kooskia country may get their
bridge next session.

THE Lewiston city council passed
an ordinance last week by vote of
four to two, authorizing the purchase
of new auto-propelled combination
chemical engine and hose wagon for
that city. There was some opposi-
ton on the part of the non-progress-
i've element of the city, but petition
signed by the solid business men was
presented to the council requesting
that this additional fire defense be pur-
chased, and it went through with a
whoop. The apparatus will cost S.,
$40, and it is claimed it will bring
about reduction of 10 per cent on
the insurance within the business por-
ton of the city.

IT is estimated that under the plan
of careful safeguarding of the lands
on the Nez Perez reservation, with
Indian patrol, to prevent fire and
depreciation from outsiders, and the
leasing of the lands for grazing pur-
poses and selling off of natured tim
Der, there will be an income of some
thing like SO, 900 yearly for the In
dams. This good move for both
the Indians and the whites, and when
thoroughly systematized will make
comparatively smooth sailing. Super
intendent Frank Fem will have
charge of this work.

being heard than formerly in this sec
ton regarding abandoned farms. The
great growth of the summer industry
in this favored corner of the Union
the Old Home movement. the gradual
but constant spread of the foreign
population away from the manufacture
ing centers and into the country
towns, and the purchase of New Eng
land farms by Westerners which is
frequently reported by the managers
of the farm agencies are among the
factors which are solving the
abandoned farm problem about which
we heard 50 much a few years ago.
But the problem still exists. it APP
pears. in sections of the country out
side of New England. 1t is declared
that in the state of New York outside
of the counties in which there are
cities of large manufacturing facilities
there is actually smaller population
than there was half q century ago
with scores and hundreds of
abandoned farms in each of such
counties. In Tompkins county, New
York, for instance. there were reportal
200 abandoned farms last year
Farther south the situation is the
same A Richmond paper declares
that there are thousands of abandoned
farms in Virginia, while a West
Virginia state official estimates the
number in that state at 1000.
All this simply means that the SHIFT

generations past. takes much of the
old stock away from the Atlantic coast,
while the incoming horde of immi-
grants remains largely in the great
cities instead of spreading out through
the agricultural sections. No doubt
through the coming years these immi-
grants and their descendants will
scatter more generally through the

AN ANCIENT TREE,
Yew is 800 Years Old and Occupie.
Land Worth $1,000 a Square Foot.

Down in huddled Cheapside. in the
vortex Of London's human whirlpool.
there stands the most valuable tree in
the world. That IS to say, is occupies
a more valuable space than any tree
in the world. far the land in which it
has spread its roots for 300 years is
worth $1,000 a square foot.
In the spacious times of good Queer
Bess this yew was a young sapling in
the garden of a noble mansion. King
doms rose and fell, but the tree grew
and throve. while time in its progress
gradually changed the character of the
neighborhood in which it stood. The
aristocratic mansions gave way t,
warehouses, and the gardens disap-
peared to give. place to closely packed
rows of mean little houses wherein
petty merchants drove more or less
f1ourishing businesses The garden in
which the yew stood belonged to the

Liberty Bell for Seattle.

Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia has
given his APPROVAL to the project of
sending the famous historical relic, the
Liberty bell, to the Pacific Coast, to be
featured at the Portland Rose Festival
and the A.-Y.-P. Exposition, according
to an account in a recent issue of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger This
important action has been brought
about by the efforts of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, which sent a
request to the City Council of Phila-
delphia urging the loan of the relic to
both the Rose Festival and the A.-Y.-
P. Exposition. without stating that the
latter request was made without con-
sulting the officials of the exposition.
After sending the request the Port
land Chamber wrote to the fair
officials urging their cooperation,
which was readily granted. Within a
few days the department of exploita-
ton of the exposition will ask the local
Chamber Of Commerce. the CONNER
cial Club. the City Council. and Mayor
John +. Miller to urge the loan of the
interesting exhibit, the plan being to
show the bell at the Rose Festival first,
and then at the exposition.
Referring to the request for the
Liberty bell, Mayor Reyburn said that
he was in favor of allowing the bell to
go. Certainly nothing can happen TO
it," declared the Mayor, land it is only
right that we should allow the historic
relic to be shown to people all over the
country The distance is great, but
do not see how that can make any
difference There are many Western
people who never saw the bell. and it
would be a good thing to show it to
them. 1t is matter of education. and
| am heartily in favor of sending it out.
The expense amounts to something.

the last one to disappear. 1t has long
gone now. and only the yew remains.
and thereby clings a romantic tale.
Beneath the yew tree there lie buried
the bones of an Elizabethan Chudleigh
who, after the manner Of Shakespeare
and other cheerful-minded persons OF
that day. pronounced solemn curse
on any one who would distrub his last
resting place. His grandson was an
irreverent individual, who became
pressed for money. and conceived the
idea of clearing the old garden AMI
building upon it. He had already made
The necessary contracts and was about
to put his iInpious purpose into eXecu-
ton when he was suddenly killed in
curious fashion. Walking one day in
the OLD garden with his architect, he
was struck by a slate blown from the
roof OF the ancient mansion and quit
ted life with startling celebrity. His
heir, being of a righteous mind, looked
upon it as a judgment land Immediate

den escaped.
The curse held good for couple Of
generations after that. until there
arose AN original-minded Chudleigh in
the reign Of George III. Of sacred me-
mory. This Chudleigh had a whole
some regard for the curse. but also
was sadly in need Of money, SO he set
his wits to work and devised most
ingenious scheme. He had railing
built around the corner IN which stood
the yew. and devoted the remainder Of
the garden to the builder. The ghost
must have grown tired or easily salts

in his bed. but before he died he made

shot in Maine. These birds are natives

in the summer season they come as
far north OIL the coast as Connecticut,
and toward the Great Lakes, as far
as Michigan. Prof. George f. Howe
of Norway states that the Frost speci-
men is undoubtedly the only one that
was ever seen in Maine. The OrnithOl-

of the species to appear ever since, but
without success. At that time Mr..
Frost lived on Frost hill, which is the

No Life Without Carbon.

The all pervading element of life is
carbon. 1t is the element in nature
on which the life of every living thing
whether plant or animal. depends. The
work We do. indeed. every movemen;
We make, is the result of energy stored
up in the organism, the energy being
proportionate to the amount of carbon
consumed. In its free state carbon
forms charcoal. coke. black lead, and
diamond. In its combined state it is
a necessary part of flesh, blood, mus
Gle.
Carbon is the main constituent of
plants. it's percentage in wood exceed
ing that of the other elements OF
which wood is built, and it is also the
constant component of the atmosphere
where it exists as carbonic acid gas
There is practically no limit to its
sway. 1t is found in the stars and in
almost every sample of water. The
earth's crust contains vast quantities
of it in chalk, limestone and marble.
Such diverse substances as ex-
plosives. dyes, fuel. foods. liquors,
clothes, drugs and printers ink the
evil smells that arise from putrefaction
and the odors of the most fragrant
perfumes are all compounds Of carbon,
the element of life. The compounds
of carbon number at least $4,000, the
cause of their multiplicity being found
in a peculiar property of carbon itself.
It's atom is a wanderer. While other
atoms usually are unwilling to COM
bine even with those of their own kind,
the carbon atom journeys far aficld,
uniting not only with itself. but other
elements in endless different proper

a paragraph which appeared in it's
western contemporary a few days ago,
the paragraph in question reading as
follows:
1.-The beautiful village of Manchester,
New Hampshire, was the scene of a
very destructive fire yesterday. There
was the usual experience of a village
that tries to save money by not pro-
viding for a fire department. The loss
sustained is very heavy. The interest
on the money would have supported an
adequate fire company for several
years" Since Manchester has about

up on it's hind legs and spit fire when
it is called a little village without a
