new STATUE FOR
The CATHEDRAL
MAGNIFICENT WHITE cARARA
MARBLE STATUE OF SAINT
MARY PLACED I'M NIcHE-lT
is OF HEROIC sIzE-TAkEs
PLACE or OLD ONE.

A magnificent white Carara marble
statue, st. Mary Immaculate, has been
placed in the niche in the facade Of
st. Mary's cathedral in the place of the
old one which has stood there since
the cathedral was built in 1899. The
new statue is in the heroic size and
is OF the purest Carara marble from
the WORLDS famous Carara marble
quarries at Pretra santa, Italy. The
figure without the pedestal stands
nine feet high and is the largest Car
ara marble statue erected in any
Catholic church in the northwest. st.
Mary is represented with hands Joined
in prayer and crushing beneath her
feet the head of the serpent. The
statue is really a work Of art. 1t was
ordered by Father Egan about a year
ago and imported by the Daprata
Statuary Co., Of West Adams street,
Chicago, and cost $500 laid down in
Fargo. The statue weighs $500 pounds
and rests on a Kasota stone pedestal
which weighs a ton and a quarter.
The work of raising the stone base,
the immense statue and the placing of
both in position at a height of forty
feet, presented many difficulties. but
the work vas done by J. w. Hodges
of Fargo without a single mishap. 1t
Is certainly a credit in every way TO
Mr.. Hodges capabilities.
The pastors and members of st.
Mary's cathedral are proud of this
beautiful addition to the facade of
the cathedral. 1t is a work of art and
they feel that the good citizens of
Fargo will enjoy it and be proud to
show it to their visiting friends as
they drive by the cathedral.
The interior of the cathedral is be-
ing frescoed. The work is being done
in oil and will be finished in about
five weeks. A new roof has been put
on the cross section portion of the
cathedral and the whole of the main
roof painted. When all the improve
ments have been completed the cath
edral will well repay a visit.

MAUD Heath,s causeway.

One of the really interesting things
for the traveller in England to see is
Maud Heath's Causeway, the gift of a
public spirited widow to two English
towns $50 years ago. Maud Heath Of
Langley Burrill, Wiltshire, was a
thrifty and industrious market woman,
whose trade necessitated frequent trips
to ~Chippenham, the nearest market
town, a noted agricultural center since
the days of King Alfred.
There was a good highway, but it
ran through low meadow land, n in
spring, when the waters OF the AVON
were in flood, it was often overlooked
for two miles or so of the way. People
were sometimes drowned in trying to
reach the marketplace and the. danger,
loss and Inconvenience were great.
Maud Heath, with her hard-earned
money, built a cauSeway, running be-
side the road part of the distance, de-
parting from it to cut acros fields in
others; a stone-embanked footway, ris-
ing later upon fine, high. sturdy arches
of stone. 1t was a work built to en-
dure; the wise marketwoman, at
her death, b~equeathed a fund for its re-
pair and maintenance, which has been
so faithfully administered that not only
is the causeway still sound and serv-
iceabIe, but there has been a surplus
from which to construct a new Iron
| bridge across the river as well.
The causeway, besides It's continuing
utility to the country folk, affords a
charming pleasure walk to the visitor
LIT is a mile and three-quarters long
and begins in Langlef Burrill, where
q, modest stone let in beside a gate
| bears the inscription.
From this Wick hill begins the praise
OF Maud Heath's gift to these high
ways.
Where it ends, in the suburbs of the
market town, another stone declares:
Hither extended Maud Heath's gift,
For where / stand is C~hippenham cliff
Two other memorials preserve ths
remembrance of the wise and excellent
market woman. One erected near thu
new bridge. in 1859, is a sun-dial. dedi,
Gated with q long iaudatory Inscription
..To the memory of the worthy Mart
Heath The other. on the crest of tn,
Hill, opposite the beginning of thu
causeway, is a stone column and STATUE
of Maud herself, in quaint peasan
dress, with her market basket by he
side. Moreover, she really is remenl.
bered by more than students and anti
quarians; her name is known and hon
ored by every man, woman and chill
throughout the countryside.

MAGDALENA BAY.

Kansas City Times: With a foot
rule and a pencil, sixty-three years
ago, James Buchanan, then secretary
Of state, made possible the national
bugaboo of today.

Now senators and diplomats, and
perhaps a president, regret that Blu

At the annual meeting Of the
American association for the study
and protection Of infant mortality,
just held in Cleveland, it was agreed
that compulsory birth registration
Is the first and foremost nee
essary for the prevention OF infant
mortality. DR.. Greasy l.. Wilbur, Of
Washington, president of the Assoc
citation, urged the delegates, who were
physicians and social workers, to use
their efforts in making such regis
tration possible.
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, director OF

of such registration. I'VE can get

GOLD DUST
makes pot and pan
spick and span

Pots and pans collect more
dirt and grease than any other
cooking utensil. The one best
way of cleaning them is to use
Gold Dust. Gold Dust not only
takes off the outer surface, but
digs deep after germs and hid
den particles, and makes them
as spotlessly clean and sani-
tary as when new.
If you want your pots and
pans so bright you can see your
face in them-your pots and
kettles spotless and g%erm-proof,
use Gold Dust in cleaning. It
will do the work, too, in half
thetimeo fthe ordinarycleanser
and save most of your labor.
Gold Dust does the bulk of the
workalone; you merelyassist it.

GOLFERS AND BOURNE

In recent editorial. Golfers Week
ly makes a few caustic remarks about
Ben. Selling because of the following
sentence in circular letter issued tC
the Oregon voters by Mr.. Selling:
"He Senator Bourne) is identified
more with the class OF Aldrich Repub.
licans. than any other Republicans,
while he claims to be a Progressive.
Golfers editorial remarks continue
This sentence makes Mr.. Selling an
easy man to classify Either he is toe
ill-informed a man TO represent ans
community in any legislative body OF
else and, unhappily. one is compelled
TO accept this as the more probable
assumption-he is willing to use a
palpable falsehood to further his cwn
political fortunes. Few men in the
Senate have a better title to the term
Progressive than Mr.. Bourne. With
probably one exception, he has done
more than any other man to further
progressive measures. In doing so he
has only been consistent with the char
acter of the community he represents.
II is well within the truth to say that
no single act in the immediate future
would be such a calamity to the Pro-
gresslve cause or give so much hilari-
Gus JOY to the StandpatteIs as the
Reputation of Senator Bourne by his
constituents in Oregon. Oregon has
done powerful and impressive things
for progress il can do an equally spec
tacular thing against progress. But
no reasonable person believes it will. 4"
As Golfers terms it, Oregon will
certainly do this spectacular thing and
vote against Bourne. 1t has seemed to
Oregonians that Bourne has been lined
up, as Selling states, for a long time.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., is not truly a
representative in the United States
Senate of the state of Oregon. Ore
gOnians are tired of him making grand
stand plays about the state as his home
and yet really displaying so little in
terest in it.
What has Bourne ever done for Ore
gon? Nothing. He has been the
author Of voluminous lot of speeches
supposedly having been delivered by
him, yet never spoken. He may be a
national figure in certain respects; for
lie has been on important committees
and was the chairman of the Parcels
Post committee. but to get right down
to rock bottom his own state has never
received anything from his hands.
How about Selling. about whom the
people are now rallying? lie may not
figure 80 prominently in highbrowed
journals like Golfers Weekly, but he
will exert first and foremost every
effort for the crying needs of his state.
His work will be such that Oregon
citizens will be proud of him.
And we believe that no senator will
stand more highly in the public eye
than Ben Selling, should he be elected
and everything points to him as
future member of the National legis-
lative body.

CORN VALUABLE
ROTATION CROP

Results of the corn breeding work
Of the agronomy department at the
Oregon Agricultural College are be.
ginning to have their effect in practi.
cally every region of the state, although
the experiments have not as yet been
published. Although Oregon is n
small grain growing state rather than
a corn growing area, because of the
cold nights and early fall rains, yet
Prof, H. ID. Scudder, head of the ag-
ronomy department, believes that a
great deal may be done for this crop
by breeding a harder, earlier matur-
ing variety.
The corn crop in Oregon undoubtedly
will never displaee barley as a feed for
fattening hogs and other stock, yet il
not only has great value for this pur-
pose, especially where il may be pas
tuced by pigs without harvesting, but
is even more valuable as a cultivated
crop in rotation. No rotation for the
maintenance of soil fertility is COM
plete without crop which will allow
the thorough cultivation Of the fields,
not only to rid them of weeds which
multiply in small grain or hay fields.
