hear the rustic of their rose colored

the more audible reproofs of Aunt

dress and a bonnet like half moon,
was telling them to be silent and to
look placid.

TH1RTY-FIRsT CHAPTER.

THAVE only an indefinite memory
of floating vaguely through the
sights and sounds of the next two
hours: of everybody except mlself
being wildly excited; of my cousins
calling repeatedly from unseen re-
gions of the house; of Aunt Bridget
scolding Unfortunately; of the
dressmakers chattering without
ceasing as they fitted on my we'd
ding dress; of their standing off from
me at intervals with cries of delight
at the success of their efforts; of the
wind roaring in the chimney; of the
church bells ringing in the distance;
of the ever-increasing moaning OF
the sea about st. Mary's Rock: and
finally of the rumbling of the rubber
wheels of several carriages and the
plash of horses hoofs on the gravel
of the drive.
When the dressmakers were done

one case | had given my husband

to have given him rights over my
self.
otherwise It was all so cold, so
drear, so dead, so unaffecting.
The blue paper had slipped out of
my hand on to the worn hearth rug
when my helpless meditations were
interrupted by the drumming and
throbbing of the motor car outside,
and by my father, who was at the
office door, saving in his loud. com
Half an hour afterwards I was in
my own rooms at home, and given
over to the dressmakers. I was still
being moved automatically--a crea-
ture without strength or will.

cheerful in that chill atmosphere, and.
half an hour late, my intended hus-
band arrived, with his London lawyer
and his friend, Eastclff.
My mind was far from clear and |
had a sense of seeing things by
flashes only. but / remember that
thought Lord Raa was very nervous.
and 1t even occurred to me that
early as II was he had been drink
ing.
"Beastly nuisance, isn't it?" he said
to me aside, and then there vas some
thing about this legal fuss and fud-
clement"
The Ceremony.
With the air of a man with griev-
ance the High Bailiff took a big book
out of the desk, and smaller one off
shelf, and then we sat in a half
circle, and the ceremony began.
1t was very brief and cold like a
matter of business. AS far as ! can
remember It consisted of two declara-
lions which Lord Raa and l made first
to the witnesses present and after
ward to each other One of them
stated that we knew of no lawful i'm
pediment why we should not be join
ed together in matrimony, and the
other declared that we We're there ana

Protect the
People and Fish

The Oregon Sportsman, published
under the direction of State Game
Warden Finley, in the January issue
puts new phase on the question of
the pollution of water by dumping
sewage into the streams OF the state.
Discussing the decision of Judge Gal
loway, in which the city of Silverton
was enjoned by the state board of
health from dumping sewage into Sill
yer creek, says:
Each year the state board of fish
and game commissioners spends from
$4,000 to SIS, 900 in the propaga-
ton of various kinds of fish in order
to stock our streams. One of the
leading causes for the destruction of
fish life is in the pollution of our
waters. After the eggs are laid and
the young fish hatch, during the
stage before the yolk sac is absorbed,
these creatures are very delicate and
susceptible to disease. Dumping the
sewage of cities, the waste of mills
and factories and filth of all kinds
into our public waters is factor
that will completely deplete our
streams of fish, if it is allowed to
continue.
In Oregon we have a large num-
Der of rivers that are of great value
to the state and to the people as a
whole. The value of our streams,
merely from the recreation stand
point, is large, for we are spending
more money for that purpose year by
year The contamination of public
waters is an evil attendant upon the
growth of cities and the development
of the state The emptying OF sew
age into streams is the crudest meth
cd of dealing with the problem of
cleanliness. 1t does not dispose of
the citys filth; it merely transfers it
from one place to another, making
the water unfit for use at points far
ther down stream, destroying our fish
supply and spreading disease among
our people. These things are wrong
both morally and legally"
Ashland has complied with the
law, but Eugene, Albany, Salem and
even Portland are delinjuent in this
respect and will be brought to book

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN
To be Run Over S. p. Under Auspices
of o. A. &.

Under the auspices of the expert
ment department OF the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College, and with the CO.
operation of the Southern Pacific
Company, a special demonstration
train will be run over the latter's
lines through the Willamette Valley
and Southern Oregon in February.
The object OF the special will be to
increase the interest in dairying
everywhere and to revive it in those
localities where it has been slack in
the last year or SO. The operation
of these trains is a factor of great
Importance to the dairyman and
farmer. The object lesson, the lee
turer, the personal interview, the an
swering of questions, all of these
methods are used on the train and
each has it's part and place in the ef-
fort toward improving the producing
capacity of Oregon farms.
The agricultural college decided
upon the dairy special late in Decem-
ber and was assured of the railroads
support and cooperation by General
Freight Agent H. A. Hinshaw and
General Passenger Agent j. NJ. Scott.
The company will furnish free the
stock cars to accommodate the hogs
and cows; a flat car for demonstra-
ton purposes; baggage car for exhib-
it's, and display coach for accommo-
dation of public at the lectures and
Pullman sleepers for the party ac-
companying the train. The trip will
| last about ten days.

Grants Pass is to have a sanitari-
um and hospital to be conducted by
Drs. Sweeney and Shearer of that
place.
Don RAIDER, coach of the Medford
basketball team, has been offered
contract with the Chicago club of
the new Federal outlaw league.
The American Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, with
headquarters at classic Boston, has
it's little hatchet out for the Pendle-
ton Roundup and is going to wipe it
off the map as relic of barbarism.
At Akeley, Mimi, the moving pic
ture shows do not open until after
church closes Sunday evening, a
move OF the managers to prove or
disprove the claim that the movies"
are responsible for the empty church
pews.
Smith of Green River Hot Springs,
near Seattle, was justice OF the
peace by day and a robber by night.
It is not narrated whether he was
brought to trial before himself when
arrested.
Miss Alma Gould, teaching three

vile, in District No. II, serves a hot
lunch each noon or at least the pu-
pills serve It under her direction, soup
being made daily. The boys as well
as the girls are learning cookery and
how to wash dishes by this method.
Such cooperative hot lunches might
be served in every country school In
Oregon during the winter sessions.
The wife Of President Wilson has
brought suit to oust II. l.. Goddard
from 80 acres of date land near Ca
lexico, Cal. Through an error in
publishing a notice OF the purchase
Of the state land lien scrip covering
the land, It was thrown out. After
wards the sister OF the publisher Of
the paper filed a homestead on the
land. Mrs. Wilson's attorney alleges
previous right, presumably because
of intentional error on the part OF
the publisher.

The difference between

No matter how much you

If you would win advance

Demopolis. March 2s.--tSpecial) )--WorlS- men began their efforts today to float barge No. 6 of the Alabama and Now Orleans Transportation company, which was sunk Saturday night 12 miles north of here on the Warrior river. The boat went down after striking a rock with 1900 tons of coal on board. The barge and cargo were valued at sio,0O0 Mem bers of the crew are safe.
 Steaming along at something like seven miles an hour Saturday afternoon. the barge struck a rock which rammed a hole of considerable size in it's side.
 The crew was unable to stop the in- rush of water, but kept tho barge afloat for nine hours after the accident. and ran it into the bank where it sank fin shallow water.
 The barge now rests with it's brow on dry land and the stern under nine feet of water.
 The barge is the newest of the steel self-propelled barges on the river. It has made several trips up and down the river.
 None of the cargo. it is thought, will be lost
 The point at which the barge sank is about 12 miles above Demopolis, in a sparcely settled section. It is above the influx of the Warrior and Tombig- bee rivers
 District Manager Files, who has been at the scene of the accident, will sre- turn to the city this afternoon.
