Lewis, son of Capt. Jonathan, lived on the old homestead Of his father said 10 be the oldest place in New Britain. Andrews has given these contradictory and hearsay state ments as they were related to him, and refrained from making any com ment thereon. Had he been familiar with the genealogical data Of Isaac and Jonathan Lewis, he would have known that these statements were not true.
 A manuscript History Of the Farm ington Family of Towns" by the Hon. Elihu Burritt and now in the State Library, referring to the carly houses of the Great swamp parish within the present limits of New Britain. states that "The first of these was that of Isaac Lewis" Probably Burritt so understood Andrews statement con- corning this house. Andrews gives no genealogical data as to Isaac Lewis. While Burritt states that he was probably a son Of William Lewis the Registrar, that is, William No. 2, it is certainly improbable that William No. could have had a son who was old enough to have been the pioneer settler of New Britain.

The measure of reduction is declared 10 be not only the greatest for summer rates since America's entrance into the World War; but far greater than any for a number of years before that war, even when lower reduced fares were offered because the basis rates were much lower, The summer reductions supplemented homeseekers rates of a one-Way fare plus S2 for Il round uip, which went into effect in March.
 Tickets Daily
 The summer tourist tickets will be sold daily until September 30 at the price of a one way fare plus one tenth to one-half fare. the larger re- ductions being for the longer dis lanceS travelled. For example, a round trip from Chicago to Yellow stone, Colorado, or the Pacific coast, will cost one-tenth times q one-way fare, while round trip from Chicago to q Wisconsin resort will usually cost one and one half times a one way fare. Similarly the reduction on the round trip to Yellowstone or the coast will be less in proportion as the starting point is out nearer his destination. As a rule the return limit will be October 31, but some tickets to Michigan and Wisconsin points carry a thirty day limit.

irrigation laws"
This comment contained in 'In-
vestment Analysis just published
nv Walter Edwards Lagerquist. pro
fessor of finance in Northwestern
University, Chicago, is regarded by
State Engineer Cuppey as high
tribute to Oregons irrigation and
drainage code.
"Particular care has been given in
the framing of this statute to such
matters as the creation of a district
through an election by the citizens
of the district, the issuance of
bonds, the confirmation and rat-
fication by the courts of the legal
fty of the issues, the certification
of the bonds, etc." Lagerquist
points out in his analysis. "The
Oregon statute is worthy of much
more detailed consideration than
this chapter allows"

sor Lagerquist's book deals with
finance generally and will therefore
be of general interest his favorable
comment should be of material aid

his political principles and reserv-
ed the right to switch back into
the democratic rangs at his pleas
ure.
I'VE have a peculiar system in
Oregon" Jay Bowerman,. counsel
for OlCott countered. In this state
there is no such thing as a party
platform. A voter has only the
platform of each individual voter
upon which to base a choice of
candidates."
Bowerman laid stress upon the
secrecy Of the ballot and insisted
that until the witness had been
shown to have voted Illegally he
could not be required to tell for
whom he voted.
In this objeclIon he was sus-
tanned by the court.
John Y. Theodore T. B. Bren-
tano, Justice of the peace of St
Paul and a democrat from time
immemoriaI until last primary
election day, was the second wit
ness and one who knew his
rights and insisted upon stand
ing upon them.
Insists On Rights"
Time after time when Attorney
Collier attempted to pry from him
the makeup of his primary cleo
tiOn ballot Brentano reminded the
lawyer that he had certain
rights and would stand on them"
And when Attorney U'Ren, coun-
sci for Hall, told the court that
Brentano had been brought to the
witness stand with the statement
that he did not tell the truth,
BrentanO indicated that he was
even willing to fight for his rights
If necessary.
Brentano testified that he had
considered for years the advisable
ily Of changing from the demo-
cratic party to the republican
party but had only made the
change on the date of the recent
primary election.
Not Aware of Principles.
Questioned as to his reasons for
the recent change Brentano
promptly explained that under the
oregon primary system he was
compelled to look to the various
candidates for a platform and he
mad found among. the republican
candidates men who appealed to
MN more strongly than did the
other candidates.
What principle prompted you
