BETTER HOUSING SHOWN
ON WEST SCOTLAND CROFTS

Edinburgh. Scotlapd.-The final
report of the Scottish Crofters COM
mission. which was constituted in
1886, was recently issued. The du-
ties of the commission will now be
undertaken by the newly-esta blished
land court and board of agriculture
for Scotland.
The report shows that the work otr
the commission has been very suc--
cessful. In the seven 'crofting coun-
ties" Argyll, Inverness, Ross and
Cromarty, Sutherland, Caithness, Ork--
ney and Shetland. the commission re-
duced the rents from $500 pounds
year to $500 while at the same
time they wiped off 124.SO0 pounds
arrears of rent out of a total of 1885,
600.
The report points out that import
ant improvements have resulted from
the security of tenure conferred on
the crofter by the crofters' act While
Wholesale clearances of townships
have not taken place for more than,
80 years, yet the crofter had no Sc
curity of tenure from year to year
and no legal right to compensation,
for permanent improvements untir
the passing of the crofters act. AS "a
result the Improvements on many es-
tates We're few in number and of a
minor character. Nowadays, says the.
report, the black hove,s in which too
many of the people lived are passing
away and have been replaced by
smart tidy cottages that would do
credit to any part of the country

thirteenth annual meeting of the Ger

Bremen
Grand Admiral Won Koester said
that the navy league rejected the pro-
posal for a stay in navy building, buS
welcomed the improvement in Ger
many's relations with England, An
glo-German cooperation was, how
ever, only possible on the basis of
recognition of Germanys equality.
and Germany must have respectable
fleet to compel such recognition. In
the opinion of the grand admiral, the
Reichstag should add one large cruis-
er to the programs for 1914 and 1915,
A resolution was unanimously car
ried declaring that the naval repre-
sentation abroad was not sufficient
to uphold the interests of the Ger
man empire. The resolution also de-
clared that a cruiser should be add
ed for the east and west coasts of Am
erica respectively, and that a flying
squadron of large and small cruisers
should be maintained at home, ready
to go anywhere to maintain German
prestige and defend German trade.

touchables must be performed or the
social machine would cease to work.
No government could at present en-
force equal treatment for these class
es in the schools, and that was a
source of great difficulty in diffusing
primary education. The work done
for these communities by European
missionaries was admirable and had
an elevating influence of the high
est character. But II was to their
own countrymen they must look to
remove the social ban which rested on
these people and TO give them their
fair share in the government of In

the establishment of an Indian mis-
sion to the depressed classes, the ex-
istence of which was a proof of tho
change coming over India.

ring to the projected oriental school
for London, said that a very import
ant step in advance had been made
by the recommendation of the royal
commission for the school to be. in

formed
The commission. he said, accepted
the view that II must be allied of
course with the faculty of arts.
Therefore the professors of Univer-
sity College and Kings College were
obviously to be taken into the school.
He hoped Lord Cromer's committee
would now. to use a colloquialism,
hurry up with their scheme, so that
the school might be started, without
much further delay. when the altera-
tions at the London institution in
Finsbury circus were completed.

May Open Rest Room.

We are informed that the mem
bers of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union are considering the
matter Of establishing rest room in
this city. This is one of the things
Webster City should have. Every
town which has rest room for
shippers or people who come in
from the surrounding country have
found II a paying proposition. to say
nothing Of the humanitarian phase
OF the question, and none Of them
would think OF doing away with
this convenience. 1t is the con-
census Of opinion In such places,
that rest room brings much
additional trade TO the busi-
ness men. in fact in many Of these
towns the expense OF maintaining
these places Is paid by the merchants
because Of the increased trade
which comes to them.

CLAIM BOONE RIVER
FISH UNFIT FOR FOOD
Water is Very Low and Warm
Said That Fish are Very
Soft and Wormy.

Quite number of fish have been
taken out Of Boone river the past
week or two during the extremely
warm weather and number of dis
cussions have been heard in regard
to whether fish caught during pres
emit conditions are at to eat. The
river has been az low lately as II
has been with one or two excep-
tions for twenty years, there hardly
being any running water to speak Of
and that is extremely warm, Large
areas Of scum are found on the river
and In many places fish are cor,
rallied In small pools unable to- get
out on account Of the low water. ,4
An old fisherman who has resid-
ed in Webster City for long period
and is accounted an authority on
fishing in Boone river. claims that
the fish now are very wormy and
not fit to eat. He says that not only
such fish as bullheads. catfish and
others Of that stripe, but also bass,
pickerel and pike are wormy at this
time. II this be SO a good many
people In Webster City have been
eating wormy fish. possibly not
knowing it. Another fisherman stat
ed that he believed no less than FIVE
hundred bass were last week taken
from strip five to six miles long on
Boone river. This matter OF unfit
fish would perhaps be worth look
ing into by some of the anglers who
have been bringing them home late
