that some who have lost their hogs by
cholera have neglected to have the
c~arcasses properly buried. The local
board of supervisors, or village
trustees constitute the local board of
health. The county board of health is
composed of the superintendent of
schools, superintendent of health and
the states attorney. These local
boards Of health have. a great deal of
power in the matter of disposing of
any public nuisance, source of filth
and cause of sickness, and in making
regulations regarding the same which
are necessary for the proper health
and safety of the inhabitants. Any
violation of regulation made by any
board of health is punishable by a fine
of not exceeding $500. or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not exceeding
three months.
The county board of health has
made a regulation that all dead car
cases be buried and covered, so that
neither the air nor dogs or other ami
mails can get at them. The board is
specially anxious that all animals
which have died Of contagious diseases
be disposed of with particular care,
so as to prevent any danger of the
spread Of the disease from that source
and we wish to be notified at once if
any one has hogs which have died of
cholera, unburied on their premises.
Immediately upon receiving Of this
report the board of health will take
up the matter of a proper disposition
of the nuisance and punishment of the
one who has neglected to attend to it.

Wheat seeding is all practically
done through this neighborhood and
some r already commencing to put
in their acreage of barley and oats.
They figure that grain of all kinds is
pretty sure to maintain a good price
for another year anyway.
Joseph Schwinghammer has passed
the remark that pretty soon, maybe
next Sunday, we will see him out
around through the neighborhood with
his new car. This is only the first of
quite a number that may be depended
on to make their appearance in this
settlement before the summer is much
older.
Watch Mt. Carmel grow is to be
the watch word this summer The
coming week will see the start of a
move in this direction when the size
of the community will be enlarged by
the moving into the village of George
Schiller and his aged parents, who
have decided to make their home in
the village from now on. George is
moving the buildings in from the
farm. 1t will prove a great comfort
and convenience to the old folks and
no doubt will be appreciated by
George after the busy season of the
year is over

The school board met on Tuesday
and among other things offered liberal
prizes for the best corn, potatoes,
alfalfa, butter, ETC., by the school
children of Iona township. Now
boys and girls dig in.
Mrs. Milas Lockhart left on Thurs
day for a months visit with her par
ents in the western part of the state.
She stopped over one day with the
Myrands, at Weaver. If you notice
that Milas has a troubled look you
need not jump to the conclusion that
there is more trouble connected with
the school. Even the best of cooks
have troubles occasionally.
Our teachers have received the ap-
paratus for the play ground and are
having it put in position. The child
rem will appreciate their efforts to
add to their enjoyment at the school.
Dan Shelley is manager of the
Iona baseball team and Mr.. Hoseney
is secretary and Henry Baker is
treasurer. So that the business end of
the organization will be taken ARE of
and if the boys will attend to the
playing, the Iona baseball team
should get a different place on the
map.

WEST HOPE

Last Saturday as A. A. Seeley
went to Stilwell for his mail he had
the misfortune to run over Raspy
Larson's best dog, the animal dying
soon afterward Is a result of the
injuries which it received. The Lar
son farm is now left with nothing
better than a three-legged dog until
"Raspy" is able to replace the loss,
which m to him as considerable of
a misfortune. There is no particular
blame attached to Mr.. Seeley in the
matter, we might add, however.
Another item in the West Hope
chapter of accident for the past week
is reported to us as having occurred
last Sunday evening when a we'll
known young man of this neighbor-
hood, travelled over the road which
leads from his home to that of his
best girl. 1t was while he was on the
way homeward, his thoughts evidently
being elsewhere than about what he
was doing when the wind blew his
hat off, it being evident that it had
more need of the lid than he had.
Bare headed he gave chase, tying his
horse to a post along side the road.
He followed in the dark the same
direction in which he thought his hat
had gone. At last he caught up with
what he judged was the hat in front
of him, only to grab it however anc
quickly discover the mistake he had
made. By latest report the hat is
somewhere across the Canadian line
by this time.

A movement is on foot to turn the
old opera house building into an audi
forum and sell it to the city for
about $4,000. The argument put
forth is that there is no decent dance
hall in town and that we have not had
a decent show in town for five years,
etc., etc. Sad, tits true, and true
it's sad, that we have no where to
auditoriate. However, a little clear
thinking and plain talk tells us that
there are other things more impera-
tive for Langdon than the proposed
auditorium. About a year ago l
planned what caused the offensive
stencil Il cannot call it odor) in the
coulee south Of Spruce street. In
fairness to the present school board l
will say that they have in good faith
tried to remedy the evil by having a
septic tank put in last summer, which
does not, however, work as was ex-
pected and is a disappointment. The
open drain empties into the street
gutter right across the street from
Mrs. Kessler's front door and it is my
opinion, that being a peace loving
person, rather than complain about
the dreadful and dangerous nuisance
she closes her house and lives else
where a large portion of the time.
The fact of the matter is that mas
much as Langdon has no system of
sewerage, | cannot understand what
the gentlemen who composed the
school board when the new school was
being built were thinking of when
they installed a full line Of toilets
and other plumbing and having no
way of taking care of the other end
of it. Mr.. E. C. Dedrick called on
them at the time and informed them
that their plans were impractical and
that they cannot dump the sewage
at peoples front doors in the city
limits, but he was given no heed.
This open drain must be abated and
other arrangements made. Before
giving serious thought to Injuries let
us attend to actual necessities. The
real estate tax payers Of Langdon are
grooming under their present load and
it is my opinion do not look with
favor on this auditorium proposition.
Better save that $4,000 as a nest egg
for an adequate sewerage system ano
waterworks.

AMERICAN HYMN IN JAPANESE.

One of our eastern contemporaries
finds that in a Japanese translation
of Gospel hymn, Crock of Ages,
Cleft for Me-" the literal rendering
runs, every Old Rock, Split for My
Benefit"
1t is really appalling to contem-
plate the form in which some of the
other hymns must appear before be-
ing subjected to the process of trans
lation into an ungracious language.
1t is easy to perceive that ''Throw
Out the Lifeline, Brother to Save"
must become clay Out Very Strong
Cord Made of Hemp, the Honorable
Other Son of Your Venerated Par
ents to Rescue" and that ''Hold the
Fort" must become "Rush Forward
Reserve Forces to Repulse Attack OF
Contemplate Enemy Upon Position
Occupied by Our Brave Soldiers"
Other illustrations might be sup
piled, but we desist.-San francisco
