Valuable Driftwood Gathered Daily Close of Winter Term-Students Return.

 The amount of driftwood found on the shore, surrounding the village and adjacent islands is sufficient to supply many families with kindling. It comes principally from the local shipyard where innumerable pieces are daily thrown overheard and these are great ly increased in numbers when a launching occurs, at which time hun dreds of feet of planking and blocking go adrift, these are taken by the river s current and deposited along the shore, some even finding their way to the distant islands in New York waters. Wood thus obtained and dried is ex- cellent for fire purposes and in eastern ports driftwood is sold for open fires. Much of the wood lost by the Pal mers in this manner is valuable but to secure it would cause considerable expense.

have close relation to the Strahorn

Many Thousands
On the Streets

Few people were acquainted with
the fact that the contents of the vault
OF the Baker Boyer bank, amounting
to in the neighborhood of $125,000 in
cash, was carried secretly from the rear
entrance of the old bank, down Second
street to the new vault. No definite
time was set for this work, as it was
not desired that any but the officials
of the institution know just when the
money would be unprotected from the
massive burglar-proof vault, although
special guards were on duty during the
work of removal.
The officials of the bank stated this
afternoon that they would be ready for
business Monday in their new quarters.
The work of moving the Baker-Boyer
National bank was under way this af-
ter1ioon, and will be carried to compile
ton before Monday at opening time.
The bank has already had a vault
moved into the Drumheller building
and the counters and Office fixtures
were taken over this afternoon for the
most part.

is now operating under lease made for
not less than twenty years "a railroad
of any other such corporation, from
renewing such lease or acquiring the
reversionary ownership OF the lesser
railroad, either directly or through
purchases of the stock of the lesser
company"
This verbiage may seem tangled to
the layman, but it is as clear as
bright sunny day when compared to
other provisions of the bill. Lawyers in
and out of the senate who have studied
the proviso just cited contend that not
only will it permit the requirement in
the future of full ownership of roads
by roads which on the day of the pas
sage of the bill already have not less
than SO per cent. or more of the South
ern Pacific stock, for which offense the
Hartman corporation is now before
the court.
1t is pointed out that that case VIII
drag along until the bill with this pro-
viso becomes a law, then the action
will fall of it's own accord, because
the provision will have legalized this
violation of the law. This discovery by
an eminent rate lawyer was brought to
the attention of senators and represen-
tatives, and it was generally accepted
as the boldest as we'll as the cleverest
piece of jugglery in the bill. In the
early stages of this legislation it was
explained on behalf OF President Taft
that he wanted this provision in the
bill in order to protect the minority
stockholders of a road in which some
other road had a majority interest.
No one suspects that the president
appreciated the far-reaching effect Of
the provision which his shrewd legal
advisers drew up for him. 1t appears to
be another instance in which the presi-
dent has been taken advantage of by
those on whom he relies for co-opera-
ton and advice.

THE HOUR AND THE MAN.

A prominent educational publica-
ton submits the draft of a letter
which it proposes shall be signed by
some multi-millionaire, offering an en-
dowment of $2O,OOO,OOO for college of
pure scholarship and the specific fos-
tering of intellectual and artistic ideals.
The letter complains that the great
universities of the country have been
drawn into other fields of useful
ness.
This is manifestly a covert blow
at the prominence given to athletics
in the great universities, and especially
to the dominance lof football. With
the exception of Columbia, none of
the great national schools have abat-
ed their devotion to the game, although
all talk of modifying it and making it
less dangerous to the life and limbs
of the players.
Almost simultaneously with this in
yitatien to some Croesus to come for
ward with a financial provision for
the intellectual and spiritual needs
of the age, comes the announcement
that John D. Rockefeller Is planning
10 devote major portion of his great
wealth to a foundation for the adj
Vancement of civilization. He pro-
70 oct oh in, fhn fy~in Of
Columbia a general organization for
the acquisition, dissemination and pro-
motion of all the elements of human
knowledge, as we'll as for the proven
ton and relief of suffering.
Mr.. Rockefeller could probably en-
dow this foundation with several hun
dred millions of dollars and still leave
his family among the richest in the
world. The board of directors will
doubtless be given great scope as to
details, and it is to be hoped that so
far as the educational part of their
work is concerned, they will meet the
demand for higher standards which
the heads of The most Of the establish
ed colleges would be glad to meet if
they were not hampered by the ,ndi-
tions which have grown up around
them.
There is an opportunity for high &C.
complishment which has seldom been
offered.

THE EPIDEMIC OF HEALTH.

1t is related that when the late Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll was asked If he could
nsme any one item in which he could
improve upon the order Of nature, If
he had the power, he replied: Yes,
l would make health catching, instead
of disease"
1t is not SO certain that this was not
the original design of nature, which
has been perverted by wrong living.
A popular writer on medicine assures
us that the natural tendency of all di-
seases is to get we'll 1t is evident that
nature did not design that men should
herd in sitting tenements, or walloW
in filth The groves were Gods. first
temples The hills, the valleys and
the woods were mans first abiding
places.
Modern sanitary science has taught
us that most epidemic diseases, and
also malaria, can be banished by
cleanliness, drainage and pure air
Cancer. tuberculosis and most other
fatal Affections can be avoided by
right living. The weight of contem-
porary medical science inclines to the
opinion that few or no diseases are
transmitted by heredity. Health is
more hereditary than disease. Every
dix, but the disease called appendicitis
is not responsible for more than five
per cent of human mortality.
The mental and psycopathis healing
of which so much is heard, is largely
brought about by association, sugges-
ton and encouragement. More of the
doctors cures are effected through the
confidence of the patient in the doc
tor and the doctors authority and
message of cheerfulness, than by his
medicine One great sect of healers
makes remarkable cures by simply in
ducing the sufferer to forget it." All
these are cases in which health is
catching.
Perhaps nature did not make such
a botch of it, after all. Medical sci
ence may be said to be essentially the
intellectual effort of the human race
to rectify it's own errors and neutrallze
it's own slothful and needless defiance
of natures laws.
