RESCRIPT HANDED Down
IN ARC0STOOK co. CASE

A rescript was handed down by
the law court Monday in the ARGOS
took county case of John l.. Will
liams VS.. Charles f. Dunn, giving
judgment for the plaintiff in the
sum of $4.3S7.5O with interest from
the date of the writ.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice Scott Wilson of
Portland. is as follows:
On report. An action on the case
to recover of the defendant as sher-
if damages for failure of one of his
deputies to take a bond from the
plaintiff in a replevin suit. which
was finally dismissed for want of
proper service and the chattels or
dered returned to the defendant in
the replevin suit, who is the plain
tiff in this action. which the plain
tiff in the replevin suit refused to
do. claiming title to them under a
foreclosed chattel mortgage. held:
That the deputy sheriff failing to
take the bond required by the stat
ute was without authority to take
the property of the plaintiff in this
action OH the replevin writ, but if
the plaintiff in the replevin writ was
entitled to possession under his
mortgage. then the plaintiff in this
action suffered no actual damage
and the defendant would be liable
for only nominal damages;
That if the plaintiff in the re-
plevin suit was not entitled to pos
session under his mortgage, the
plaintiffs damages in this action are
measured by the actual damages re-
coverable by him in an action on
the statutory bond, If one had been
taken.
That If the mortgage note given
by the plaintiff In this action was
payable only In the commodity
named, the failure of the payee,
who was the plaintiff in the replevin
suit, to carry out the contract on
his part and deliver the entire
amount Of fertilizer for which the
mortgage note was given, rendered
the note unenforceable according to
it's terms and being unenforceable
the mortgage given to secure its
performance fell with 1t.
That if the note was payable
either in the commodity named or
in cash. which is held to be the true
construction, the plaintiff having
offered to pay in cash before the
date of maturity for all fertilizer

10 Diphtheria Cases
Reported by B. of H.

With one new case of diphtheria
reported Sunday to the Board OF
Health, there are now ten families
in the city of Augusta under quar-
antine for diphtheria. No cases OF
scarlet fever are reported here at
the present time, the last scarlet
fever quarantine being lifted last
week.
In addition to the ten families
confined, there are three children
who are classified as carriers"
while they have no illness they are
isolated so that they will not carry
the disease along. One case has
been under quarantine over four
weeks and this will soon be lifted.
putting the number of families
down to nine.
From the Board Of Health also
comes the encouraging news that
none of the diphtheria cases are
very serious ones. that is, none OF
the patients are alarmingly i'll. Ev-
cry possible precaution is being
taken, as many will realize. Sore
Threats are being regarded with sus-
picion by all local doctors and ex-
animation for germs of contagious
diseases are being made in every
case of that class.
Regarding the situation in the
schools of the city, Superintendent
of Schools H. H. Stuart stated yes
terday that there is no general cpl
demic among the school children,
but that there are few scattering
cases. Where cases have developed
among school children swabs have
been taken of the Threats of all of
the other pupils of those grades and
as a precautionary measure those
grades have been dismissed. Five
of the school grades in the city were
dismissed yesterday for the remain
der of the week, one child in each
grade being ill with the disease, and
swabs were taken of the Threats OF
all the other pupils of those grades
to get at all the possible contagion.
The grades that were closed Monday
for the remainder of the week were
the kindergarten. second, fourth and
eighth A at the Smith Grammar
school and grade seven of the Will
liams school.

A DREAM COMING TRUE

When James J. Hill a score of years ago
employed experts on his own account to
investigate the possibilities of using the
vast deposits of Minnesota peat for fuel
his efforts were derided as visionary and
his scheme as impractical. But coal was
comparatively cheap then and there was
no incentive, except though for the dis
tant future, for finding handy substitute.
The Empire Builder, however, was in the
habit of thinking twenty or more years
ahead and today his plans for using peat
effectively in industrial operations seems
about to be realized
The groupof St. Paul business men who
recently inspected peat production opera
tons on the bogs of Carlton county at
Corona were much impressed with the
wonderful possibilities and are firmly Of
the opinion that peat is the ultimate solu
ton of our fuel problems. 1t has been
demonstrated by repeated experiments in
St. Paul and Minneapolis Office buildings
and manufacturing plants that peat is an
excellent and cheap steam producer, and
the Corona visitors were more than salts
fed with the operation of the cheap pro-
cesses whereby it can be made available
for use.
The last legislature voted an appropria
ton Of $4,000 to the University of Min
nesota for the study of the enormous peat
resources of the state and the uses of this
substance, not only for fuel but for other
commercial purposes such as the making
of dyes and insulation materials. The
course of these investigations will be OBJ
served with interest, and it will be the
first time the state on its own account ever
has done anything worth while looking
towards the development of natural re-
sources.
1t is we'll known that Minnesota con-
tains the largest merchantable peat de-
posits in the United States. There are
literally hundreds of billions of tons of
this potential fuel found in eighty of the
eighty-six counties. Much of it is on state

WHY THE DEAD. SEA?

We have heard of dead people, dead
beasts, dead trees and dead flowers, but
is there such thing as a dead sea, and
why do they call it dead? There is and
they call it dead because it receives all
and gives nothing. This body of water
the most remarkable in the worlds at
the southern end of the Jordan Valley in
Palestine. 1t is AZ miles long and ten
miles wide is 1922 feet below the sea
level and is one of the hottest regions on
earth. 1t receives 100000 tons of water
daily into its bosom from the Jordan river,
but gives none out to refresh and nourish
the valley below, which has become an
arid desert on account of the close-fsted
ness of the sea. Its water is five times as
salty as the ocean, is bitter to the taste,
oily to the touch and leaves yellow stain.
No fish live in the water, no flowers bloom
or fruits grow on its shores, no birds sing
in its neighborhood. Its barkless drift
wood and shores are incrusted with salt.
Its setting is a scene of desolation and
gloom, looking as if the curse of God
rested on all the region.
1t is a striking emblem of the selfish
life. Selfshness is at the base of all sin.
The world soon forgets the man who
thinks only of himself. There are no sell
fish heroes. The gates of glory are for
ever closed against the man who lives for
himself alone. He who would save his
life must lose it, and he who would be
remembered by others must forget him
self. Life comes through death and true
greatness through service. -Ex.

We should never allow friend to slip
out of our lives if we can help it. True
friendship is too rare and sacred to be lost
much less lightly thrown away There
may be sights given, even Intentionally
so, but they should be quickly set aside
and forgotten. AS to the misunderstand-
ings, they rise from hidden influences of
life, and from conflicting circumstances
over which we often have no control.
Very frequently the sights we receive are
imaginary, or else unintentional. In either
case they give no ground for offence. But
even if they are intentional, they should
be pardoned with the first pang they in

cultivation and every true friendship is

NATURES EvENTIDE

The birds have formed their hocks and
flown their way to sunny Southern reaches.
The snakes and creeping things have
gorged themselves and laid down for
their annual sleep. Next years butterflies
have built their silken beds and put their
nightcaps on. The bees, weary with their
months of toll, have entered upon their
winter night of rest. The squirrels have
gathered their store of nuts. Noisy, hum
ming nature has quieted down., The twit-
tering sparrows and chickadees keep
watch in field and wood. Oaks toss their
bronze-leaved branches to the falltide-
breezes. Naples fling their gold red
mantels to the cooling winds. The earth
nestles tight in its coverlet of fallen leaves.

land, which makes the development of
the industry of prime Importance to all
the people. Great beds are to be found
at our doorstep in northern Ramsey county
and in Anoka and Hennepin counties.
This immense Corona deposit, however, is
considered the best quality yet discovered.
Peat is used successfully as fuel in
many European countries. Because of the
excessive coal price if it can be produced
cheaply enough in this state it will revolu-
tionize our whole industrial and economic
life and make Minnesota the manufactur-
ing center of the West. From the expert
ments already carried on there seems to be
no reason to doubt the feasibility of peat
fuel on a commercial scale, and no effort
should be spared by either the state or
private capital to make the venture sue
cess.

pire Builder becoming reality after his

No sooner was the invention assured of
success than Mr.. Smith had to fight a
number of persons who laid claim to it.
Continued litigation was necessary to sup
port his right, and law costs made enor-
nous holes in the inventors profits.
Such boon was the invention that only
ten years after its adoption it was calcu-
lated that if the old paddle-wheel had
continued to be in exclusive use engines
of nearly 100000 horsepower would have
been required, the cost of which would
