N. P. REDUCES
LAND PRICES

Settlers under the Umatilla project
who bought land from the Northern
Pacific company and have suffered
hardships in making payments to the
company and also to the government
are in receipt of news to the effect a
reduction in price will be made by
the company.
In one instance a land purchaser
who bought 20 acres at $50 per acre
has been notified that the price will
be reduced to $50 per acre. Also he
will be excused from making any pay
ments for a period of three years.
After three years annual payments are
to be made for eight years, the defer
red payments drawing interest at six
per cent.
In order to take advantage of the
new offer it is necessary that the pur-
chaser pays the taxes on the land. meet
all water charges and at once take up
the work of developing the tract. 1t
is necessary to have work started by
April this year and to put at least one
fourth the area purchased into crop.
Next year another fourth is to be
brought under cultivation and the en-
tire tract is to be reclaimed within
four years time. 1t will not suffice
to merely use rye, wheat or some 9TH
er cover crop.

Very Scientific Punishment.

Here is charming description of cor poral punishment as given in American schools and prisons. It is taken from one of the leading newspapers of Italy and will aStonish some people here as much as it probably astonished the Italian readers:
 ''The most incorrigible persons are led with eyes bandaged and hands shackled to a bath in which there is a little water. They are stripped and made to lie down in the bathtub. In the water is wire leading from one pole of an electric battery. Another wire leading from the other pole Is placed in contact with a sponge which is applied to the bare body of the pris- oner. Each time it touches him he re- ceives an electric shock that feels ex- actly as if he were being whipped.
 "The punished youth, being unable to see whence the blows come. suffers all the more and is soon under subjection.'' New York World.

PREP. SCHOOL TO BE STARTED AT
 HARVARD SOON


 Cambridge, Mass. July 15.-The department of Education of Harvard University is planning the establish ment of an independent elementary school, which eventually will become a preparatory school for college.
 The school as planned, will be CO., educational and will begin with five elementary grades, in addition to two kindergarten grades. Other grades are to be added from year to year. If established, the school will be financed by subscription and a moderate tui- ton.
 It was hoped that the school could be started this fall, but lack of suf- f1cient financial support made it necessary to postpone the opening for at least another year. The professors believe that the practical experience derived from such 8 school would be invaluable, both to them and to the university.

Lewes and aeorse Eliot.

In the Charles Eliot Norton Letters in Scribner's is a pen picture of George Henry Lewes and George ElioS:
 ''.The ugliest couple in London" So Dickens described George Henry Lewes and his wife to the Nortons. They found the description just. Lewes when he received them at the door looked and moved Hike an old fashioned French barber or dancing naster-very ugly, very vtvacious, very entertaining. We expect to see him take up his fiddle and begin to play" Yet his attachments were very broad, and men like Darwin and Charles LyeH spoke highly of his knowledge in their own departments. As for George Eliot: "One rarely sees a plainer woman-dull complexion, dull eye heavy features. For the greater part of two or three hours she and l talked together with little i1termis- sion. Her talk was by no means bril- liant. She said not one memorable thing. but it was the talk of a person of strong mind, who had thought much and who felt deeply. and consequently 1t was more than commonly interest ing. Her manner was too intense. She leans over to you till her face is close to yours and speaks in very low and eager tones, nor is her manner perfectly simple"

seaafck Elah.

Fish become i'll and die from seasick- ness when carried long distances upon the ocean. says Popular Mechanics Magazine. For that reason many rare and interesting specimens captured in tropical countries cannot be brought alive to northern points for public i'm spection. In a recent shipment of 400 fish from Key West to New York more than 100 died on the way and the re mainder arrived in condition that re- quired heroic treatment to save their lives. According to this it may be pre- stunned that the agony endured by hu- mans when the ship begins to pitch and roll is as nothing compared with the same sufferings of tank inclosed fish. As precaution the fish are fed practically nothing for at least one day before being taken on board. The gal vanized iron tanks in which the fish are carried contain from ten to fifty gallons of sea water kept at constant temperature of about 60 degrees by steam from the ships boilers during the trip.

BROKEN IN HEALTH
 RESCUE CAPTAIN ASKS
 TO BE RELIEVED, OF DUTY

Washington, July 15.-Broken in health by reason of his experience in the rescue of 72O fishing vessels from Northern Ice nearly two years ago Captain George M. Daniel of the reve- nue cutter service has asked to be re- lieved from active duty. His request probably will be granted.
 Captain Daniels in the winter of 1911-12 went to the rescue of the Gloucester fishing fleet which was in grave danger in the ice fields of Bonne Bay and the Bay of Islands. With the cutter Androscoggin he fought his way through the ice packs at great risk to his own vessel, and after heroic work managed to bring all the craft out safely.
 The effort, however, cost the officer his health. His nervous system, ac- cording to reports, never has recover ed from the experience.
