EPISCOPAL SERVICES.

Right Rev. Lemuel III. Wells, of
Spokane, bishop of the Episcopal church
of the diocese of eastern Washington,
held sercives in the Presbyterian
church Friday evening of last week.
Considering the INSTRUMENTATION and
the late hour when services began, as
the bishop arrived on the train due
here late in the evening, there was
goodly attendance. There are quite
number of communicates of the Epis-
copal church living in Oroville, and
they were much pleased to again hear
and take part in the familiar services
of that religious denomination. The
bishop was very pleasantly surprised to
meet so many members at this place.
He came to ,Oroville from Republic,
and from here went to Okanogan,
Brewster, and up the Methow. Bishop
Wells has been at the head of the Epis-
copal church in eastern Washington
a great many years. He is gentle,
kindly, earnest Christian, a devout,
scholarly, eloquent churchman, liberal
in his ideas, and devoted to the service
of his Master. While quite advanced
in years he is in excellent health, and
more active than many men of half
his age.

AS there was no politics or policy at

designated as a gamblers election, as
a good many hundred dollars changed

been pleasantly mild, but people should
not fall into the delusion that the

E. Fitzgerald, who has been asso-

kane Saturday morning after learning
of the illness of his associate in that
city. He was greatly shocked to find
Judge Peck dead when he arrived at
Spokane.
Election day was grey and cloudy
over head, sloppy and sodden under
foot, but the unattractive condition of
things out. of doors did not check the
ardor of election workers, and there
was a well developed desire on the
part of the local electorite to exercise
the right of franchise.

DRAWN UP INTO THE SKY
The Only Explanation for the Disap.
pearance Of the Water from
the Dead Sea.

There can be only two modes by
which the waters flowing into the
Dead sea can escape from it-either
by underground percolation or by
evaporation. It is extremely improb.
able that any considerable quantity
escapes by the former mode, and we
are further led to suppose, for two
good reasons, that evaporation &C.
counts for maintaining the steady level
OF that sea. First, the sea remains
Intensely salt. The Dead sea contains
about five times as much solids In So
luton as does the ocean. This in.
tense saltness could not be maintained
with comparatively fresh river water
pouring into it for thousands of years.
unless the water in escaping, left be-
hind the saline substances. Evapora.
ton is the only process that would ac-
count for this. Secondly, the heat in
The Dead sea valley is overpowering.
The temperature in the Jordan valley
has been known to rise in August to
11S degrees, even opposite Jericho,
and it would be even higher in the
Dead sea gorge. George Adams
Smith, in his Historical Geography of
the Holy Land (p.500), says: "The
extracted moisture usually forms q
haze impenetrable to the eye for more
than few miles, but sometimes vast
clouds of mist rear themselves from
the sea-

The Waimangu Geyser.

The famous extinct geyser of Wal
mangu, New Zealand, near which
volcanic eruption was reported re-
Gently as having omnenced, was for
a few years the most powerful geyser
on record. The activity of this geyser
in 1903 and 1904 created such anxiety
in the north island of New Zealand
that. an Auckland paper, attributing
its activity to the great increase in
the size of the adjacent Lake Rotoma-
hama. proposed that the lake should
be drained In order to allow the freer
outlet from the hot springs of the To-
cality. No action was taken and the
danger was removed by the bursting
of the lake dam. The water of Lake
Rotomahana was discharged to Lake
RotoEua, and Waimangu ceased it's
eruptions. 1t will be interesting to
learn from the New Zealand geolo-
gists whether the renewal OF the vol
canic activity along the Tarawera
rift is connected with tie cessation

SIXTH PROPOSED AMEND.
MENT.

The sixth proposed amendment is
nesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. by this amendment it is
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section la, and which
shall read follows:
section Tia Laws may be enacted
exempting lands from taxation for the
purpose OF encouraging and promoting
the planting. cultivation and protec-
tion of useful forest trees thereon"
EFFECT. The effect of this amend-
ment is to authorize the legislature to
enact laws exempting from taxation
lands of private persons to be used in
the planting, cultivation and prOte ction
of useful forest trees thereon, and thus
supplement where the lands of such
private persons are devoted to refor-
estration, the purposes contemplated as
to public lands by the fifth proposed
amendment. The authority so granted
Is part of a general plan for the refor-
estration of land within the state. If
the Legislature does not pass such laws,
such lands will not be exempt and the
power to repeal such n law, when en-
acted, remains with the legislature.
Power to pass law to exempt such
lands from taxation the legislature
does not now possess, and 1T is, there
fore, an additional grant of power.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE T.. SIMPSON,
Attorney General.

More than a hundred years ago,
when the stone steps of the old house

with reVerent regard for the sanctity
OF the place they were so unwontedly
leaving during the sermon. The min

Wlghtman in the Metropolitan, stop

said: May be permitted to inquire
the reason for this exodus?" At this

PURPOSE. BY this amendment it is
sought to repeal Section 23 of Article

'Section 23. The legislature shall

power to prescribe the bounds of con-
gressional senatorial and representa-

Replies to Statements Made in the
| Dispatch.
| st. Paul, Mimi, November 2, 1910
Mr.. George Thompson,
Sir:-Your tardy statement in the
Dispatch of today wednesday, that
your interference with and dictation
to the County Auditor was merely by
the editorial in one of your news
papers calling on the Auditor to act
in the assessorship matter is, l claim,
manifestly false.
1 charge that you sent several
emissaries, including Mr.. Bennett,
your reporter, many times to cajole,
command and threaten the Auditor,
demanding that agree at once to the
appointment Of Mr.. Lagerman. The
last of those emissaries was a high
officer in your employ, who styled
himself IAN ambassador" from you
Kings have ambassadors. Your re-
porter, Mr.. Bennett, said to a clerk
in the Auditors, Office on Saturday,
Oct. 22nd, that Thompson is boil,
ing that ''the fireworks are all
ready to go off, and that he had ''just
stopped in to see if Krahmer had
come over, so that the explosion may
be stopped"
Moreover, you have not hitherto
answered my letters to you of Oct.
22nd and Gath or in any other way,
| heretofore denied the correctness of
the facts stated in those letters,
though they were published in a num-
Der of weekly papers on last Friday
and Saturday.
The other statement of Importance,
that regarding the $4,000 exemption,
IN your edict or proclamation referred
,. 10, equally with your present denial
OF your bulldozing misrepresents me.
l answered the substance of that at
tack in my interview, published in
the News of Oct. 10Th, which was in
the following words:
Edward e. Krahmer, county
auditor, objects to the remarks made
by R. D. O'Brien county attorney, in
his Federation hall speech Monday
night. Mr. Krahmer said to the Daily
News today:
Mr. O'Brien's attack is lawyers
rant and rot. Skim off the froth and
all you have is the fact that this
county and other counties obeyed the
order of the Minnesota Tax Commits
sion and the attorney generals ruling
until he saw fit to reverse himself.
The sophistory of twisting that
situation into wrong committed by
me is really to pass a counterfeit
upon the people, and is a bad example
for the county attorney to set for the
criminal classes. He should follow
his superior's example and reverse
himself. His brass armor needs re-
pairs.
1T has not been so long since he,
with full knowledge of the facts,
passed contractors bills against the
county for work yet to be done, lend
ing them in effect the public money,
and which proceeding the auditor
blocked, and refused to pay until the
work was duly completed. 1t will be
remembered how the county commits
sioners BANK so loaning the public
money, was ridiculed at the time
That was the board Of three years
ago."

A. the constitution stands today, while
the Legislature might pass laws pro-
v1dtnH funds to be used for the pur-
chase of lands, and the cultivation of
the same for reforestration purposes,
yet 1T Ii not directed to do so. The
eject then of this amendment IL to
COMPEL the taxing officers of the state
to annually levy and collect a tax of
one-ifteenth of one mill on each dollar
of taxable property In the state, to be
used as the legislature shall direct, for
the purchase for the state of land
adapted to forestry purposes, but at n
price not to exceed q per acre. All
unexpired balances in the fund Mt the
end of each fiscal year shall not lapse,
but shall be carried over into the fund
thus raised for the succeeding year and

fOurths of the money received there
from into the state treasury, and the

pose than the production of timber,
authority II contained in this amend
ment to sell 1T, but the proceeds must
be used for acquiring or developing
forestry land. Until the legislature
provides otherwise, all purchases shall
be under the direction of the State For
estry Board. The title to all lands
purchased must be approved by the
Attorney General before purchase IL
made. 1t Is further provided that two
successive regular Legislatures shall
have power by twO-thirds vote of
each house to repeal any of the fore
going provisions. That is to say, If
after n trial, such plan for any reason
Is found to he impractfcable or unde-
strable, and 1T SO appears to two Sue
cessfve legislatures, any or all of the
foregoing provisions of the amendment
may be repealed. The legislature does
not now possess such power and the
same Is II distinct change in the meth
DDS heretofore in vogue in Minnesota,
In the making: and revising of the Con-
st1tut1on. Heretofore an amendment
might only be made to the Constitution
or a provision of that instrument elm
mated by direct vote Of the electors.
Under this amendment, if it be adopt
ed, that power fs not taken away and
also exists. But n new power, that of
repeal by the legislature, as to this
amendment, is created. Such power,
however, would extend to other pro-
vision Of the Constitution and affords
an easy method of change in ease of
necessity or advisability.
