Mrs. Dodgson at Whitewater.

day.
Mr. and Mrs. f. T. Matthews have
found the last week a particularly
trying one. On Tuesday they receiy-
ed a notice that the Nickerson place
had been rented and that possession
was desired on Feb 3, so the re-
mainder of the week was spent in
house hunting, all to no avail. as
there seemed to be no vacant houses
on the mesa for rent. Finally MT.
and Mrs. Matthews decided TO move
their household goods to the Raeber
place. where they were to occupy sew
eral rooms. When about one-third
OF their goods had been moved. who
should appear but messenger re-
questing them to remain in the Nick
erson house until certain legal mat
tiers connected with the ownership OF
the place were decided by the court.
So Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews began
laying down rugs and rearranging
furniture with what good cheer they
could muster, as moving twice in one
day isn't must fun at the time. al
though they considered it quite a
joke n few days later.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Smith and
children expect to return to the mesa
about March list. They have spent
a very pleasant winter in the city,
but there's no place like their beau
tfful ranch home in summer.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. b. Raeber will also
return to the mesa the first of March.
The resignation of Mr.. Thorpe as
superintendent OF the Orchard Mesa
Irrigation Company is sincerely to be
regretted as he was an able and eff
ficient supervisor. but while the wa
ter proposition looked rather dark
for time. plans are now being made
which will assure sufficient sum to
meet all expenses of the district.
While all the plans have not yet been
made public, Orchard Mesa ranchers
feel no doubt but that before water
for irrigation purposes is needed,
plentiful supply will be available.

PRINCE OSCARS MARRIAGE

The Kaiser's fifth son who has just
become engaged to Fraulein Won Basse-
vita Mecklenburgerin, by the by, like
the Crown Princess-received the name of
oscar from the accidental circumstance
of the news Of his birth reaching his
father at Stockholm. on the way home
| from St. Petersburg, In the year of his
accession, when he resolved to call him
after the king Of Sweden. \ precedent

Oscar is to be found in that of the Old
! Kaisers youngest brother, Prince AL
| brecht. who welded a Countess Hohenau.
and 1t was a son of this union who figur-
ed with Count Moltke In the Eulenburg
scandal of seven years ago.
The Kai.er's consent to the morganatic
marriage of his son illustrates the diff
| ference between the matrimonial laws of
| royal houses In Great Britain, under

| ion. whether equal or unequal, contracted
| by princes or prlncesses, Is Illegal with

the children OF a marriage between royal
ty and commemorative daughters of the
late Duke of Fife rank as Processes in
, the line of succession to the throne But
not even the Kaiser himself can bestow
full rights on the marriage of one of his
| relatives to n person outside the charmed
circle of reigning or princely families,
The maintenance of that circle is an
agreement and solemn pledge between
all the reigning houses In Germany. AS
a custom 1t Is innexible. and not subject
to personal considerations, as our roya
marriage act. On the other hand, Ger
many recognizes morganatic marriages az
perfectly valid, and the children are legi
innate except that hey cannot inheri
titles, domains or dignites, II Is held
indeed that morganatic marriages are
useful to the state by preventing the ex
cessive growth of princely families.

PROGRESS AND PROGRESSIVENES
CFrom the Rutland Herald)

"Vermont's Reactionaries" and Yer
monts Progressives" are the descriptive
headlines placed by his enemies and
friends, respectively, over Governor
Fletcher's Manchester utterances on the
Vermont political situation.
The Herald is not particularly pleased
with either of the designations.
As it pointed out some time ago, there
are times when a Certin amount of reac-
ton is necessary and when blind. unheed-
ing progressiveness should be restrained.
A return to prosperous republican con-
ditions and firm check on the announced
Intention of politicians to address them
selves to a further marrying of business
should not at this time he considered po-
itical but merely ordinary business judy
ment.
What Governor Fletcher really said was
that Vermont is progressive, and the Her.
aid believes he used it in its broadest
sense.
With that proposition every true Ver-
monter must agree, and it is further true
that the few-the very few Vermonters-
who in this age of progress insist on
winking at official misconduct and eXtraV-
agance and deriding all proposals OF re-
form Will be hopeessly swept into the
wake of civilization and left behind.
On this proposition there can be no d.
vision, and such opinions are not progress
sive nor rea ctionary, not democratic no.
republican, but sound, patriotic business
