trenchment in the matter of taxation

that the county current expense FOR
the first half of this year was SlO,-
600 less than for the first half of last
wear. The city of COlfaX is cutting
its estimates in three departm ents,
with no increases, besides anticlpat-
ing a decrease in revenue. Your city
and school will do we'll TO follow this
general tide of observing frugallty

tion is thrift and independence to the
community.
I am sending a copy of this letter
to your paper asking for publication
as an invitation to every taxpayer IN
the county to assist the work OF this
association in regulating the expendl-
ture of public money in their respect

This county has wonderful re-
sources, and with the cooperation OF
her citizens in their conservation a
like cooperation in the development
of good roads and other require
ments. it is safe to assume that a
greater value will be given for every
dollar paid in taxes, and that every
resident will be justly proud OF whit

Yours very truly

more subject to appendicitis than
women. Pullman people should

prevent appendicitis. This mixture

Couldn't Digest Dynamite.

Three prize heifers belonging to
Cornelia Warren, proprietor of the Ce-
dar Hill farm, Waverly Oaks roads,
Waltham, nibbled at a tasty stick of
dynamite, and are no more Never
were three heifers more emphatically
dead.
No explosions were reported. The
young COWS placidly chewed the dyna
mite, apparently enjoying the flavor.
One died in it's tracks in the pasture
and the other two succumbed in
barn after a night of bitter rumina-
lion.
Miss Warren recently purchased the
Ridge Hill farm, adjoining her prop
arty, and workmen were blasting tree
stumps in the field. 1t is supposed the
heifers dug up some of the dynamite
and went to it. Just what happens to
COW when it eats dynamite is not
in all the veterinary books, but what
does happen happened.-Boston Dis

FIGHT ON MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS
italians and Austrians Battle Among
Peaks That Are Considered
Almost inaccessible.

Italy's Alpine troops, mountain ar
t1llery and several regiments of ber-
saglieri (sharpshooters) are appar-
emily bearing the brunt of the war
with Austria
These troops have since the begin
ming of the war been occupying stra-
tegic positions, generally the peaks
of almost inaccessible mountains dom
mating the enemy's forts and in
trenched camps, hauling up guns and
holding these positions against the re-
peated attacks of the Austrians who
are striving to open way toward a
possible future invasion of Italy.
Scarcely any details are available
about their hard fighting up in the
mountains where the snow is still sew
eral feet deep and no eyewitnesses
are present
A company of Alpini was on the
march at night along mountain path
skirting valley 200 feet below. The
path was narrow and a false step
meant death. The men marched care
fully and slowly in Indian file and
kept well in from the edge. The Of
ficer who marched in front when the
path widened ordered the men to halt
and lie down for an hours rest. The
Alpini accordingly rolled themselves
up in their blankets and settled to
sleep, when a dull, muff1ed noise was
heard coming up from the valley.
Three or four Alpini understood at
once what it meant The Austrians
down in the valley were mining the
path from below in the hope of blow
up the force. They looked down the
precipice, but could not see anything.
1t was pitch dark. Still the noise CON
tinued. The Alpini hit on plan at
once and the officer approved it.
One of them, a knife in his mouth
and a rifle in his hands, was let down
the ledge tied to a rope When he
saw the shadows of the Austrians
working on the rock he fired at a dis
tance of less than ten yards. The Aus
trians fed for cover and then opened
fire against the man dangling from
the rope, but his comrades hauled him
to safety. When the Alpini explored
the valley next morning they found
three Austrians killed and near them

pairing

Manhattan Is Flat-Footed.
Little old Manhattan is Tattoo

Little OLD Manhattan is Hat-fOOted,
wears poor shoes and stands UP at it's
work, according to figures compiled
by Capt. Frank E. Evans of the re-
cruiting Office of the United States
Marine corps. Captain Evans is au-
thority for the statement that approxi-
mately Is per cent of all applicants
who applied for enlistment in the
marine corps at it's Twenty-third
street Office during the past year, were
rejected for pes planus," or fiat
foot. He puts the blame on the cheap
ly constructed poorly made shoes the
average toiler wears at his work for
the epidemic of falling arch, and on
the fact that the majority of victims
claimed they were forced to stand on
their feet for long stretches while at
their employment.
MOtOrmen, conductors, subway
guards, policemen, machinists, wait
ers and clerks are the principal suf-
ferers from pes planus," Captain
Evans says.-New York Times.

OF HISTORIC INTEREST
TOWN OF GORIZIA RESTING
PLACE OF ROYALTY.
Among Many Others, 1t Contains the
Tombs of Charles x and "Henry w
of France-KnoWn as "Aus-
trian Nice"

Mentioned almost daily in the war
dispatches from the Italo-Austrian
front, the little town of Gorilla has
gained considerable prominence of
late
Besides being the center of impor-
tant military operations, Gorilla is of
interest because of it's historic asso-
Citations. Lying between Venice and
Trieste, not far from the Adriatic, Co
rizia has population of about 10000.
The town has been an Austrian pos
session for more than five centuries,
and it's pleasant climate has earned it
the name of 'the Austrian Nice"
In the outskirts on hill is a Fran
ciscan monastery, the road to which is
marked by the 14-station way of the
cross. From the esplanade in front
of the monastery church an extensive
view of the surrounding country is OBJ
tanned.
Below spreads the town, with the
ancient chateau of the counts of Co
rizia and the Villa Boeckmann, once
the winter residence of the count de
Chambord, towering over the less pre-
tentious houses. A little further off
one can trace the capricious course of
the Isonzo river, the bed of which is
said to the the burial place of Atilla,
the Hun chieftain.
In the distance lies the Carso lime
stone plateau, sheltering the magnifi-
cent castles of Duino, belonging to the
house of Hohenlowe, and Miramar,
which used to be the favorite resi-
dence of Archduke Maximilian, later
emperor of Mexico.
The horizon is bounded by Trieste,
chain of snow-covered Alp peaks,
the Venetian plain and the Adriatic.
In the little chapel of St. Louis, in
the right wing of the Franciscan
church, the bodies of King Charles x
of France, the duke and duchess dan
gouleme and the duchess of Parma
had their resting place until 1888,
when they were removed to large
vault under the high altar.
In this vault there are six sarcoph-
agi, three on each side of a marble
crucifix, raised on high pedestal.
Charles x has the duke d'Angouleme
on his right and the duchess on his
left
In the other group the sarcophagus
of King Henry V (the count de Cham
bord) has been placed between those
of the countess de Chambord and the
duchess of Parma.
On black marble slab behind the
sarcophagus of the count de Cham
bord is the following inscription:
Here rests the high born and very
excellent Prince Henry, fifth of the
name by the grace of God king of
France and Navarro. Born in Paris,
September 20, 1920. Died at Frohs-
dorf August "a, 1888"
Over his tomb is raised an immense
white banner emblazoned with the
royal fieur de lis, in compliance with
the order given by the count in his
manifesto of July 5, 1871, where he
expressed wish that the standard
of Henry ", of Francis l and of Joan
of Arc, which had floated over his
cradle, should also throw it's shadow
over his tomb"

Paid Bio Price for Ram.

The price of mutton has gone up
in Australia. When the Red Cross
fund was being raised one wealthy
sheepowner presented ram to be
sold by auction and the proceeds de-
voted to the fund. The ram was sold
in Sydney. The auctiOneer who WELD
ed the hammer made an eloquent ap-
peal to the pastoraiists and others
present to see to it that the ram
brought a sum worthy of the object,
and one that would live for ever in
the history of these sales. The ram.
which was appropriately named Aus
tralia Day." was sold and resold %
times, mostly in straightout bids, and
when 1000 guineas had been realized
he was put up for final sale and
knocked down at 200 guineas ($1,020)

United States. She is one of the five

Old Tree Still Fruitful,

Apples plucked from the oldest ap-
pie tree on the Pacific coast, in Van
couver, Wash, have been sent to the
department of agriculture by former
horticulture inspector of the district.
This famous tree is almost ninety
years old and produced a fair crop of
apples this year. The department will
make reproductions of the apples in
size, shape and color, and they will
be returned and later handed over to
the Washington and Oregon Historical
societies, with photographs of the old
tree and it's history.
