FARMERS OF UNION
GET NO RELIEF

Salem, Or, Feb. 1.-THE house
yesterday morning turned down an
appropriation of SIS, 900 to be used in
Strengthening the channel Of the
Grand Ronde river in Union county.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Richardson and in support
Of it he said much Of the fertile land
was being washed away by the high
waters each winter, due to the crook
ed channel. The opponents set up
the argument that this appropriation
could set a bad precedent and every
district would soon be asking for sim
liar internal improvements.

Don't Know the Lords Prayer.

1t is noted that the members of the
Legislature showed a lack of famil-

Chaplain Waldron asked them to join
in repeating 1t at the opening of the
session. Their backwardness was not
altogether exceptional, however. It
IL quite the common exception in our
legislative bodies.

An Ancient Engine.

One of the oldest locomotives in
existence is to be brought down
from the upper part of the Fishing
Creek valley within a Jew days and
taken to Scranton, where its new
owners, A. J. Derry & Company,
will use it in demonstrating a sig
nal system and then consign it to
the scrap-pile. The engine, one
Of the old woodworking kind and
which was used for years by the
Pentecost Lumber Company will
make the trip to Scranton on fiat
car, its usefulness being so long out
lived that it was deemed safer to
carry it on a car than to risk its
making the trip on the track under
its own power.
The engine would create a posi-
tive sensation wherever shown.
The top of the stack is about four
feet in diameter and in its construc-
ton it is of the stamp of the six
ties. Few engines OF such age re-.
main intact today.

COUNTY WATER PURE.

Following a careful and systematic
examination of the water sheds of
Columbia county, H. S. Coffman,
an inspector of the State Health
Department, found the percentage
of pollution of water supplies in
this county very slight and smaller
than that of any other section yet
visited in the State. Certain changes
in the sewage conditions at Benton
and the removal of all out buildings
from which there is any refuse to a
distance of more than twenty feet
from running streams were order
ed, and this will result in still fur
ther lowering the pollution of the
water supply.
In Columbia county Mr.. Coffman
inspected Benton, Saltwater, Or
angeville, and Millville boroughs;
Orange, Mt. Pleasant, Pine. Fish.
Greenwood, Benton, Jack
son, Sugarloaf, Scott, Hemlock,
Centre, and Madison townships,
and that part of Bloomsbury known
as Irondale. In his tour he has
visited also parts of Sullivan, Ly-
coming, and Luzerne counties.

PRICE OF PEACE PRESERVED.

Realizing that if Mars could be
deprived of all ammunition and his
pockets emptied of the coins that
are, after all, the very sinews of
war, the bellicose Roman god would
be forced to give up his bloody pas
time and devote himself to sleep or
the wooing of fair goddesses on
Olympus. James D. Hallen, Amer
lean citizen, undertook to bunco
the clustering patron Of warriors
and, which is more to the point,
succeeded.
Hallen, about two years ago,
met Ramon Echesareta, New York
agent of the Nicaraguan govern
ment, who was trying to buy arms
and ammunition. Hallen realized
that this meant war, and being op-
posed to war in the first place, and
his kindly heart sympa lhizing with
the prospective widows and orphans
destined to fill Central America if
Ramon's plan went through, Sc:
himself to thwart it.
Could and would Hallen furnish
Nicaragua with 900, 900 Reming-
ton cartridges? Hallen answered
AYE" and then and there agreed
to provide them for the bed rock
price of $II,ooo cash to be paid
when the cartridges were delivered
on the wharf. Nicaragua paid that
$II, 900 on the bills of lading but
great was the wrath of it's officials
when, opening the package that
looked precisely like ammunition
boxes they found them filled with
copper dross and saw-dust.
In their wrath, not rejecting that
peace had cost but $II 900, the y
had Hallcn indicted for grand lar
ceny. And Hallen, on trial in
New York, pleaded that President
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, wished the
cartridges for use in putting through
plan that would result in making
Zelaya the only President in Cen
trail America, and that Guatamala,
hearing of the plan, engaged Hal.
len to assist in frustrating it. Be-
cause Echesareta is dead, the avail
ability of this delightful tale is in
creased.
Meanwhile Hallen, instead OF
being decorated with a peace medal
for so effectually burcoing Mars,
was put on trial for his liberty.
Verify this is a censorious world,
and few there be who shall escape
calumny. The only balm peace-pre-
serving Hallen received was an ac-
quittal on the charge lodged against
him.

CANAL MENACING HEALTH

Because the Town Council will
not act of its own vol;tion in the
matter, and because the local Board
of Health has not yet seen fit to
compel it to remove the cause, the
health of the people of Blooms
burg is constantly menaced by the
disease breeding condition in which
the old canal is permitted to re-
main.
Two of the towns surface. drain
age pipes pour water into the canal
bed, and this with the water that
accumulates from other sources,
provides paradisiacal breeding
place for the Misunderstanding mos
quito. That the malarial mosquito
is in evidence there is not an lille
fear born of the brain of an alarm
ist. Prof. d S. Hartline, of the
Normal biological department, has
stated that he has found specimens
of this mosquito, which is well
known to science and medicine, in
existence in that section. DR.. y.
J. Waller subsequently made COM
plant against the conditions pre-
vailing at the canal to the Board of
Health, thus putting the matter
squarcly up to that body.
The d. l.. & w. railroad con-
pany owns the old canal bed, hold
ing it as a valuable right of way
When approached on the subject of
getting rid Of this water, pregnant
with disease-carrying mosquitoes S
by thousands, the railroad com.
pany answered, briefly and to the
point, that it would take care of its
own share cf the accumulating wa
ter when Bloomsbury stopped emp
tying its two surface drainage pipes
into the company's right of way.
That position is morally and le-
gally impregnable, and the blame
for the existing conditions is placed
on the Town. The Board of
Health becomes, at least morally,
particeps crlminis because, while it
cannot act against the Lackawan-
na under the circumstance, few
doubt that it can compel the town
to move those two surface-drainage
pipes so that they will not empty
into the old canal bed.
The presence of the malarial mos
quito has been proven. The rene
dy is known. Protest has been lodg-
ed with the Board Of Health. If
Council will not act. let the Health
authorities compel it TO do so. If
that body will not take the neces-
sary steps, it is time the State
Board was appealed to for relief.

Sutton Escaped Easily.

According to the Salida (Col.)
Record of June IS, John r. Sutton,
the much wanted Berwick tax COL
lector, escaped arrest in Salida,
Colorado, because a detective, who
gave his name as J. S. Kelly, bun
gled what might have proved a
neat bit of work.
Kelly according to the Rec0rd,
followed Mrs. Sutton when she
started west, keeping her shad-
owed until she joined her husband
at Salida. Then Kelly drove about
the streets and kept announcing his
object until the Suttons eventually
heard Of it and disappeared. Then
the detective, with the assistance
of the Salida police, succeeded in
again locating the Berwick man in
a Salida house.
The police arranged to assist in
making the arrest, two of them 60
ing to the front door of the house
while Kelly was sent to guard the
rear exit. Then, says the Record,
while Mrs. Sutton talked to the Of
ficers, her husband left by the back
door. Kelly, though he saw him,
permitted him to go on down an
alley without trying to detain him.
An effort to trace him with blood
hounds, following this last escape,
brought no results.

Orphans Home Dedicated.

Amid imposing ceremonies the
new $40, 900 Odd Fellows State
Orphanage between Sunbury and
Snydertown was dedicated last
Thursday. Odd Fellows and rela.
tivcs from many parts of twenty
three counties, containing $4,000
members of the fraternity having
an interest in the institution, were
present. One hundred orphans, in
mates of the Home, took leading
part in the exercises, which started
with an inspection of tie building,
occupying part Of I7o acres own
ed by the Odd Fellows. The
ground also contains a chapel, a
school and a frame structure, form
erly used by the orphans, and
which hereafter will be occupied by
old and INDECENT members of the
fraternity and their wives.
Following the dedicatory exer-
cises, in charge of the Grand Lodge,
addresses were made by Us. Mont
gomery, Philadelphia, grand mas
ter; Rev. B. H. Hart, Harrisburg,
past grand master; J. w. Stroh,
Sunbnry; Mrs. Hattie Mendle, AL
legheny, president of the State Re-
bekahs, and E. c. Wagner, Girard-
vile. president of the Orphanage
Association. He stated that a
500, 900 permanent fund would be
raised for the maintenance of the
home. Four thousand dollars was
collected from the audience during
the day by contribution. and from
the sale of souvenirs and refresh
ments, to help liquidate the $40, 900
debt.

CORP GRAFTON DIVIDEND TAX.

In suggesting that the net in
comes of corporations be taxed two
per cent, President Taft is proba-
bly, aiming at securing additional
revenues but also, as pointed out
by our Washington correspondent.
at securing an inspection by the
federal authorities of the books and
transactions Of corporations with a
viewEto eliminating abuses which
have been the bane of the manage
went OF the great corporate con-
rms of the country.
Unquestionally it was the latter
..nre which caused the reported
rry in financial circles following
publication of the message con-
-ying the Presidents suggestion
TO Congress. On this ground, as
the carrying out O. a general policy
of supervision, little opposition
would be likely to develop except,
perhaps, from corporate sources.
If the main purpose is to furnish
more revenue. however, the first
objection to be raised is that this
end could be secured by simpler
methods. Again, unless the tax is
graduated, and an exemption
clause inserted, struggling in.
dustrial concerns would be bur-
dened with load necessarily op-
pressive, and in some cases even
con6scatory. Such clause should
limit the tax to the larger and
weather. concerns, and relieve the
small manufacturing corporations
in nearly every community, corpo-
rations, it is true, capitalized at
small amounts but larger than in
dividuals could we'll undertake. A
corporation dividend tax that wip-
ed these out of existence would un-
questionably act as a boon to trusts
and a blow at the smaller concerns.
In the third place, the question
of the effects on dividends arises.
While perhaps no i'll results would
be noticeable at once, so far as div
idends are concerned, yet as the
entering wedge of new policy,
this proposition must be carefully
considered in this regard. Liter
ally thousands of struggling men
and women have invested their saw
ings in small holdings in industrial
concerns. They will want to know
all about this measure that is offer.
ed in lieu of tie Bailey Cummins
proposition which effects only the
rich, and concerning the constitu-
tionality of which Mr.. Taft had no
doubts until very recently.

A TRIPLY DEADLY FOURTH.

Because the GLORIOUS Fourth
this year falls on Sunday, under
takers, hospitals, and physicians
and surgeons are expecting heavy
increase in the list of fatalities ard
serious injuries resulting from the
annual ebullition of frenzied patri-
otism. A Sunday holiday mears,
as rule, three days of celebration,
the Sabbath lull providing little
more than period of recuperation
from the strenuousness of Saturday
in which to prepare for fresh out
burst of reckless enthusiasm ONION
day. The record of deaths and
permanent Gripping and binding
due to firearms, giant crackers,
and toy cannon and pistols on for
mer Independence Days leads to
the belief that these allied enemies
of human life and health will run
up heavy score this year, with
three days at their disposal instead
of one.
According to the statistics gath
cred by the American Medical So
ciety last Fourth of July rolled up
total of 5000 serious injuries in
the United States, with 1853 deaths.
Of these, 2I fatalities and oS7 in
juries are charged against Pennsyl-
vanla. For the five years preced-
ing, the total serious injuries in the
United States reached 1868, and
of these 1883 ended fatally. Penn
sylvania furnished 345S of the seri-
Gus injuries and I72 of the deaths.
The Pennsylvania State Medical
Society is appealing to state, mu-
nicipal, and health authorities to
enforce existing laws and ordinan-
ces, which are deemed as adequate
to preserve order and protect life
on holiday as on any other day
of the year. An effort is being
made, too, through the press, to
from sentiment in favor of more
rational observance of the nations
birthday. In view of past failures
to effect reform along this line,
especially timely is the suggestion
OF discouraged but kindly human
itarian who recommends that the
member of family selected for
sacrifice on Independence day be
killed quickly and more mercifully
than the toy cannon and giant
cracker usually permit.

big annual horse show for twenty-five years. In
1907 1t lost about s7e00 and the loss last year is
said to have been about the same amount. The
winding up of the association does not mean that
there will be horse show this year, as the pres
ent association will be succeeded by another hav-
