WORK FOR OPEN COLUMBIA.

The state of Washington has esrap-
lished a new precedent in undertake
ing the improvement of waterways.
The Columbia is river of more than
local Importance 1t is a river of
national and international import
ance. It's Importance is so great
that in the absence of national aid
the state itself has felt justified in
inaugurating the work The people
of the state of Washington have been
progressive and liberal in this res
pect At the legislative session of
1867 $125, 900 was appropriated
and placed at the disposal of the
secretary of war, to be used on the
Snake and lower Columbia as the
government engineers might direct
In 190S-9 $4,000 was appropriated
to be handled by a special commits
sion to do work of an urgent and
particular order on the extreme up
per Columbia, where hitherto navi-
CATION was impossible, and in spend
ing this money under the personal
direction of a skilled river pilot the
commission has already achieved
signal success. With every rapid
that is improved new territory has
been opened to settlement and de-
velopment, some of the regions thus
reclaimed rivalling in extent and i'm
portance many of the largest OF the
government irrigation projects,
which have met with such favor
A movement has now been in
augurated to secure a special appro-
priation from the national congress
to be turned over to the state of
Washington to continue this work
The results already gained by the
state commission would seem to fully
warrant the national congress in
making such an appropriation. Cap
tain McDermott'S method is to bold
ly force his steamer into the rapids
where the difficulties are and to go
at whatever rocks are to be removed
and shoot them on the spot" There
is. apparently. no experimenting, no
hesitation, no delay. All reports
reaching us are to the effect that the
among the distractions, finds which
are the worst and which are the most
essential to be removed, blows them
up and goes on. This is an effective,
practical way 1t is. in some res
poets. a new way, but it gets i'm
mediate. and in every case beneficial
results, and it is way that ought to
appeal to the proper authorities at
Washington.
Besides the special appropriation
asked for, there is also a proposal
for an appropriation, through theI
regular channels. of $4,000 for the
Columbia above this point. Bothi
these sums are Leeded and if grant
ed it can be relied upon. if all the
money is spent in the manner in
which it is now being expended. al
new mark will be set in the history
of waterway improvements.

such the facts advanced byV0r. Woods
Hutchinson in the Cosmopolitan will
doubtless cause considerable perturba-
ton. Certainly some weighty argu-
ments will be necessary to disprove
them.
DR.. Hutchinson holds that lit is no
principle of progress to hold men down
to starvation. diet any more than il
is to starvation wages. and. while econ
omy may be an admirable thing in
business. it is in dietetics usually not
only shortsighted. but wastefui. for.

food is one of the cheapest things there
are" DR.. Hutchinson says further:
From the extraordinary claims put
forth for the advantages of slender
diet one would surely conclude that
the most imposing array of diseases in
our text books of medicine and the
hugest total in our death lists would
be found directly and Enthusiastically
enrolled under the head of diseases
due to overeating and that under the
head of diseases due to undertaking
there would be found vast and elo
quent blank What are the facts?
"Of the fortytwo principal causes OF
death in the United States census of
1900 only three are TO be found which
are in any way due or possibly related
to observation-disclosures Of the stOm-
ach. diseases of the liver Va. dia
beteS. On the other hand. those dis
eases which are either directly due TO

poorly fed and lowest among these
who are abundantiy fed-consumption
pneumonia. diarrheai diseases. typhoid

neutrality-suspicious. for death roll of
250.OOO victims. or nearly 30 per cent
of all deaths"
Again 1.-The stern and unimpeacha BILE
records of mortality and morbidity
show that the biameless and frugal
poor have the highest death rate. the
highest disease rate and the lowest
longevity rate of any class in the COM
munity" Finally there Is the signifi-
cant fact THAT practically every pro-
longed famine is followed by the out
break of some epidemic. In fact. from
one-half to two-thirdS of the deaths in

yer which the lowered nutrition OF the
victims has allowed to gain a foot

When the census reports are tabu-
lated the rapid development of this
section in recent years will be con-
firmed. This point should be strong
ly emphasized at the convention. In
the interests of fairness this newer
section of the state should receive the
consideration which its economic de-
velopment warrants in the expendi-
ture of public money for roadways.
A state road extending from Spokane

valley will certainly be boon to this
region.

Watseka, ILL.,, March 16.-While eff
forts were being made to obtain an
impartial jury in the Sayler murder
case trial yesterday 1t was discovered
that Miss Coda Sayler. daughter of the
murdered banker, Byron L SayIer. one
of the most important witnesses, had
been taken away and was staying with
friends in Chicago
Until a few days ago she had been a
frequent visitor at the county Jail to
see her mother. who is one of the de-
PENDANTS. Principals in the prosecution
averred they did not know where she
was and that they wanted her as a wit
ness for the state.
Ever since the murder of John Byron
Sayler at Crescent City last July the
daughter is said to have wavered in
her loyalty between the defense and
prosecution. The three defendants are
Mrs. Lucy Sayler, widow of the muir
dered man: John Grunden, father of the
widow, and DIR. William r. Miller.
1t is expected that Miss Sayler will
return in time to appear as a witness
for the defense. After the murder she
was kept for a time at the home OF rel
atives in Indiana. For two months shs
was In Watseka and visited her mothe,
in the Jail every week.

DIR. Weiser referred to the garbage

that some one was profting by the sale

Bill Harding's attitude. he declared. in
forbidding the householder from plac-
ing old shoes and broken crockery and
glass in the garbage cans. These
things, he suggested, were not conduc-
i've to the fattening of hogs. For his
part he opposed the feeding of gar
bage to any kind of animals. 1t was

INSPECTOR TUCKER
DROPS INTO GARY
DR.. Walsh and State Officials
in Confab Over Deplor-
able Conditions.

Frank w. Tucker, state food in
spector. dropped into Gary yesterday
and will remain here for several days
looking after the local business houses
before leaving for another section of
the state. Tucker has been in this
locality for the past three weeks and
is likely to remain in this city for
some time.
Now that the s~pringtime is near and
flies and other insects will soon appear
in abundance, there exists a necessity
for a more strict Interpretation of the
pure food laws than during the winter
and cold season. In Gary many meat
men and candy kitchens have allowed
their stock to be exposed, which is
against the law, to germs and insects.
In the future they will be compelled
to keep their edibles Under cover.
Some time ago Dr.. Walsh stated that
after the arrival of the food inspector.
whenever he found time to come, tina
certain deplorable conditions in this
city would be instantly corrected or
the violators punished. The milk, for
instance. in Gary averages far below
the standard in fat, and samples OF 1t
will be sent to the state laboratory
for ANALYSIS. OF only the milk dealers
but the restaurants will be compelled
to- sell better milk in the future.
Anothe bad feature Of the condi-
tons in Gary is the flthiness of one
or two restaurants in the city, which
are operated by Greeks. One of them
has already been punished for keeping
a dirty place. but the violations are
going IN there just the same. Some
of the bakery shops are also not what
they ought to be in the way of clean
illness.

How Bells Are Tuned,

When certain bells in a chime
produce discord they can be tuned.
The tone of a bell may be raised or
lowered by cutting off little metal
in the proper places. To lower the
tone the bell tuner puts the bell in
his lathe and reams it out from the
point where the swell begins nearly
down to the rim. AS the work pro-
ceeds he frequently tests the note
with tuning fork, and the moment
the right tone is reached he stops
the roaming. To raise the tone, on
the contrary, he shaves off the lower
edge of the bell, gradually lessening
or fattening the bevel, in order to
shorten the bell, for of two bells of
equal diameter and thickness the
shorter will give the higher note.
A notable instance Of bell tuning
was at Lausanne, where twelve bells
in three neighboring steeples pro-
duced only seven distinct notes and
produced a most curious discord.-
