When the way has been long and
the wind has been cold Tor hot) and
the roads have been dusty, snowy or
cut up with ruts and there has been
some attraction in town, the Highland
er's mind has turned wonderingly to
the tale of some men who six years
ago said they were surveying for a
trolley line from Kennewick to Rich
land via the Highlands, and wondered
if the trolley line would ever mater
ize. But now we don't worry. G.
H. Taylo-. runs his auto bus on reg
uIar schedule and for a nominal fare,
and will run it at any time when there
e enough passengers to make it
worth while, as for instance on the
coming Sunday when Mr.. Taylor will
re at the Congregational church at 8
o'clock to take home all those who
wish to stay for the basket dinner and
all-day services.

FRESHMEN PAY TRIBUTE TO DUFFY ON CENTENARY OF HIS BI.. IN;
 DECLINED SEAT IN PARLIAMENT

or dismiss a clerk, nor apply shill- ing of the public revenue to any pur- pose until it was voted by the local Parliament. In such an Australia might aim to show what could be ac- comp1ished in such an Ireland"
 He succeeded in his demonstration; witness the comment of the Spectator the accession of the Duffy Ministry:
 ''If anybody wishes to know what the Empire loses by English inability to conciIiate Irish affection, let them read the speech addressed by MT. Ga van Duffy, the new Premier of Vic toria, to his constituents. It contains the program of the new government he has formed in Melbourne, and we have not for years read a poI1tlcal manifesto so full of character and power MT. Duffy is an Irishman, a Catholic, and a, rebel, a typical man of the class which we English say can neither govern nor be governed; put he speaks like the man for whom the Tories are signing, the born admin istrator, utterly free of hummery ana buncombe, clear as to his ends, clearer still as to his means, ready to com promise anything except principle but giving even to compromise an 1r1- pression of original force."
 Was Gavan Duffy satisfied with this demonstration? Not at all. After his sixtieth year he started on third ca --@0 - tive land.
 'sIt might wrote the Dublin Free mans Journal, tfhave been well deem ed that he had transported his whole self, his hopes, aspirations, and affec- tions to that new world But no; all this career of honor and success seems but a pa1Iid phantom in comparison with the memory of the days in which, to him and his fellows, the day-dawn of a liberated Ireland seem ed near it's breaking"
 His Work In His Old Age.
 On his return to Europe he was strongly urged to take an Irish con- stituency, but refused,~on the plea that tssureIy shall do more good in paint ing the sins by which our race has all ways fallen, and the virtues by which it has often risen again. Every one has a, good word for young Ireland just now, but the high principles of action which Davis preached are not, only not practiced. but apparently not rem membered.''
 So Duffy set to work in his old age, in 9, land where he had no friends but his books and his memories, to write the history of the stirring days and the stirring ideals of '48, and that with such success that one of the Dub lin papers wrote of his work: 'sIt is not often that a man retains up to the age of 65 years the faculties which in the prime of life enabled to thrill his readers like wine. But it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that in these pages is to be found not merely the statesmanship that Ecomes of. experience, but the power l of rousing emotion which is usually associated with the glowing period of youth.''
 | Whereas his heart dwe1t still in Ire- land the aged patriot refused the joy of doing his last work in the old land, lest the impartiality of his historical | work he impaired by new emotions. | But though he died in France (Feb. l g, 1903), he is buried in Dublin, in the GIasnevin cemetery. under the shadow l of a Celtic cross.

MARCH RECORD
 DEATH MONTH,
 REPORT SHOWS
More Than 200 Succumb in ] 31 Days, Health Depart
 Yment Finds.

According to the reports of the health department March of this year has been a record breaker for the mum ber. of deaths since the inception of the record system in that depart ment Thera~ were 2os deaths in this month
 Nearest to equalling that record was March of 1913 when 181 deaths were recorded. March of the last o years has always been unusual in the number of [eaths. Only twice in the history of the department has any other month exceeded March in the number of deaths. That being in December of 1912 when there were 21 more deaths than in March of that year. The other time was February of 1915 when there were 22 more deaths than in March.
 The following is the list of the most number of deaths in any month dur ing the present and last five yearsf
 1915: March 135; December 15e; 1918: March 181; 1914: March 18O; 1915: March 155; February TIT; 1916: March 209.

''Young Ireland" Owed Its Existence to. His Ability As An Organizer Rebel Patriot From Exile, Had Only His Memories.

We are in the hundredth year since the birth of Charles Gavan Duffy. The centenary of his birth occurred We'd nesday. His memory was celebrated a few weeks ago bysthe Irish Literary Society in London. of which society. he was the first president( says the New York Evening Post.
 Duffy has been dead only a dozen years; his long life held three careers, any one of which would entitle him to the affectionate recognition of the | Irish race. It was to his organizing power that ''Young IreIand'' owed it's corporate existence, as Nhis colleagues themselves were unanimous in ad- uniting. It is probable Gas Duffy himself insisted) that the enthusiasm of Thomas Davis supplied much of the i motive power, but it was Duffy who welded into a party all the inte1li- gence and all the heart that was to be found in Ireland in 1842. An old let ter from John Martin to Gavan Duffy reads as follows:
 1T am proud to. acknowledge in you, after glorious, Davis, the father of the Irish national party and the chief writer of the party. But for the Ma ton which your generous bo1dness and your fixity of purpose and your able pen have maintained for the last six years as our standard and rally ing-point of patriotism, every one of us Confederates, even Mitchell, would Ishave remained in dull. hopeless ob- scurity.''
 His Work for Land Reform.
 After the rout of the Young Ireland CTS, whose platform w--s simply Repeal of the Union, Duffy, emerging from his prison, got 8 second group of Young Ire1anders together and work ed more specifically for land reform. If this second effort also failed, it was not from any doubtful cause, but oth- CT, and not Duffy, have borne the shame of it to the grave. That the | Nation still wie1ded a potent inf1u- ence< is testified by the words of an opponent (Mr. Tennant). as follows, in a letter to Duffy in 1856:
 fLet me say that I think in the | mana cement of the Nation you have done more than any living man. Moore only expected to elevate the national | feeling of Iriskmen. I don't talk of your energies in pursuit of brilliant delusion; but refer to the lofty spirit which has characterized that pursuit,
 to the bursts of eloquence and the
 flashes of true poetry which have ac- companied it, and to the pure and
 lofty, and, at the same time gentle, I feeling which you have evoked in the
 struggle, The Nation has exhibited 1 the genius of Ireland in a new and
 un1ooked-for phase.
 His Australian Career.
 His Australian career was no less 8 service to Ireland, as he explained | himself:
 'sI belonged to a. group of friends
 who were disparaged because they did
 not succeed in Ireland. was eager to show that we were not unf1tato bear the burthen of state. Here was a coun- try freer than anything but separation could have made Ireland. The I'm. I periaI government could not appoint

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children,

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that of adults
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and I think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
1--WE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. / was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So l urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to
day both children are as we'll and
strong as any children in this city
and, of course, my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day
