program through.
With 10 per cent of $780,
900 pledged before a formal
start has been made it is held
the full amount can be raised
without great difficulty. The
farmers will be expected to
bear the chief part of the bur-
den but businessmen will also
be asked to aid the enterprise.
Better Than Railroad.
One OF the most enthusiastic
boosters for the road from Pendleton
to Cold Springs landing is ". w.
Harrah. prominent local farmer and
director IN the Tristate Terminal
Company. Mr.. Harrah has given
much attention to the subject OF ham
ding grain by modern methods and
is unqualifedly for a hard surface
read.
some people in the past have
wanted a railroad in that section but
railroad would give no relief" says
Mr.. Harrah. I'VE must make sure
OF getting the competition from the
riyeE and in my opinion the way to
do this is through means OF a pub
lis road and a public dock.
THE road to Cold Springs will be
a great thing for freight and for
passenger travel. We will have
good clean road to the river at all
times and the river trip will be beau
tiful in the summer time. II will be
possible for tourists to make an ideai
trip from the Columbia to Bingham
Springs.
Freight will go both WAYS over
the road and so the towns as well
as the farmers will be benefited.
Walla Walla has the right idea and
will built a road from Walla Walla
to Wallula. This county should do
the same to Cold Springs.
"Those nearest the road should
contribute most toward its cost. RI
have land that will be affected and
I will increase my $1,000 subscrip
ton II a way can be adopted so 9th
trs will do the same"

as the old court records show how this
bedevt1ed man or woman Jared at the
hands Of the law, Just SO does 1t appear
in these narratives Of our early his
tory. And a startlingly vivid impress
sion is made by these frst-hand &C
counts AS one reads Of those fervid
Satan hunts, porting over the quaint
speech and the unfamiliar spelling, he
seems to be transported literally back
two centuries and a half into that I'M
easy atmosphere where an unconsid-
cred act or trfhing word might stand
as sign that the devil himself had
taken lodgings inside ones own per-
son. Instinctively. the reader sends a
furtive hand up to make sure that no
halter Is settling to make way with
the devil, and incidentally with him
self. A dozen or more of these origi-
nal narratives show the diffusion Of
the witch panic throughout the col
onies and give the different methods
Of church and court to exterminate the
evil. In the editors Introduction to
these narratives 1t comes out that,
curiously enough, witchcraft is a by
product of Christianity itself, sourcing
back to the time when the theologians
worked out their theory of human re-
lations with Satan. In another century
the inquisition adopted 1T, and in an
other one 1t passed into the secular
courts. moving northward through Ger

America. These frst-hand narratives

self and as it gave complexion to the
least of the incidents and objects sur
rounding him. Family Happiness is
an amazing seizure of every shade of
feeling that marks the development of
young love. This story Is told by the
young Russian girl herself in a won
der of frank and convincing detail. 1t
progresses through marriage and the
subsistence of the full tide Of passion
ate love into the quiet waters of con-
jugal friendship and the solicitous ar
dor of love for the children of this tenn
pestuous marriage. All of these stories
lie within the range of high emotional
tension: the most Of them are gloomy
in their movement and atmosphere.

insight that supports them, in the
genius that develops them. than in any
superficial pleasure that may attend
their reading.

JOHN SHAW BILLINGS. A Memoir. BY
Fielding H Garrison, NJ. D. Illus
trated. New York: g. P. Putnam's
Sons
The subject Of this memoir-yohn
Shaw Bi1lings-was a man Of many
gifts. not the least among which was
a genius for making friends and hold
ing to them. In the field Of his formal
endeavors three great achievements
mark the career of DR.. Billings. Thea.
are the Johns Hopkins Hospital at
Baltimore, the surgeon generals library
at Washington, and the New York
Public Library, all of which he planned
and organized. This study, therefore,
converges upon these major achieve
ments, devoting to each full historical
survey, any one OF which gives ample
proof Of the great administrative abil-
ity and practical outlook Of the Or
ganizer Of these public institutions.
The index catalogue of the surgeon
generals library. perhaps the most
monumental Of DR.. Billinss' tasks. con-
verified an enormous mass Of priceless
but relatively unavailable material
into one Of the great medical libraries
Of the world. In addition to these
three works Of prime Importance DR..
Billings organized many hospitals and
medical laboratories, contributing sub
stantial1y, meanwhile, to the literature
of scientific sanitation and to that of

most part, however, the open story Of
quiet street, wherein are pictured
about the whole sum Of human Joy and
sorrow. Mrs. Rinehart has developed
this not unusual complex with uncom-
mon skill, winging 1t here and there
with fancy, sustaining 1t with romance,
and imparting to the plain affairs of
everyday the rosy colors Of a trained
and artistic imagination. This story
of American life along its middle
reaches is calculated to meet wide and
richly deserved popularity. 1t is one Of
the best Of the current fictions.
HITTING THE DARK TRAIL: STAR

Night. By Clarence Hawkes., author
of THE Little Foresters," etc. Illus
trated. New York: Henry Holt &

Several interesting books on the life
Of forest and field already stand to the
account of this writer. These, one and
all. disclose an intimacy with the COM
mon ways Of nature, friendship with
her multitudinous forms of untamed
and furtive life that only a genuine
sympathy, a patient and loving pursuit
can produce. Mr.. Hawkes. Is one Of
the group Of writer's who in recent
years have SO substantially befriended
wild life by bringing about better
understanding between 1t and man.
But the book in hand Is Of another
sort. This is the story Of the writer's
own life, story written to make bet
ter optimists and better fighters of
those into whose hands it may fall.
