(To the Edi tor.) The readers of The Oregonian are under great obligation In getting such satisfactory articles telling; of the genius of John Milton, with such gen erous extracts from his writings. It may seem presumption for the undersigned to endeavor to add a word, yet humble people sometimes contri bute to human thought. We all know that two decades of angry discussion In England kept Milton from writing poetry, but not from constructing prose, and It is strange that we some times forget the worth of Milton as a prose writer.

The newly married couple and crew, finally rescued by a passing steamer, were taken to Messina, and it is from there that an account of their -experiences has reached this city. The Clausen, a three-masted schooner, was bound from Gulfport, Miss., to the Azores, lumber iaden. When some 500 miles from St. Michaels, her destination, on November 14, a hurricane began to tear away the rigging above decks, and for three days kept the little company of eight in terror, relieved only by Mrs. Hudson's brave singing of hymns and recounting Bible stories. The schooner sprung a leak and all the food was under water. Just as it seemed that the vessel must go to pieces, a steamer was sighted. It proved to be the Snowdonia, and all were rescued In lifeboats. Hardly were they aboard when smoke began to pour from the Clausen and soon the wreck was ablaze.

West, through representatives who ap peared before the House committee on ways amd means, protested against any reduction of the duty on wool, on the ground that it would prove disastrous to the sheep industry of the entire country. In this protest they were sustained by woolgrowers from all parts of the Na tion, including General Grosvenor, former member of Congress from Ohio. The leading western witness to enter protest was P. G. Johnston, of Black foot, Idaho, representing the Idaho Woolgrowers' Association and the Na tional Woolgrowers Association. Mr. Johnston confined his argument largely to showing the great increase in the cost of herding sheep in the past ten years and to demonstrating that the Increase today actually exceeds the protection afforded by the present tariff on wool. Herders AA'ages Advanced. In 1SS7 the cost of maintaining a flock of sheep, 1700 head, was J1479; in 1907 the cost had grown to $2S44. Going into detail, Mr. Johnston showed that the In crease came about in this way: wages of herders have advanced from $430 to $600 a year; camp tenders receive $450 now. as against 0 in 1897. One of each Is as signed to a flock, and their combined board is now $600 per year as against $.0 ten years ago. When the Dingley law -was passed, it cost 7 cents a head to shear sheep; now it costs 10 cents, an advance of $51 per flock; In the old days the hay necessary for Winter feed ing a flock of sheep cost $340 per year; now it costs $ST5. Then there is an ad ditional expense, the forest reserve graz ing fee, at 7 cents a head, or $119 per flock. This expense was not known ten years ago, when the range was free and open. "The cost of production has actually Increased, in the ten years, $1365 per flock of 1700 head," said Mr. Johnston. "The present tariff protection of 11 cents per pound on a seven-pound fleece (which Is the Idaho average) amounts to $1309. It will be seen therefore, that the Increased cost of production actually exceeds the protection afforded by the present duty. Sheep husbandry is one of Idaho's foremost industries, and the profits derived therefrom are being used in assisting to develop the state in the highest sense of the term, namely, the building of homes, schools and churches. and bringing to pass that growth of community life In our agricultural cen ters which makes residence therein really enjoyable, and means much for the fu ture welfare of the state. Idaho Is for Tariff. "The Idaho woolgrowers and the peo ple of Idaho generally are very desirous that the present tariff remain just as it is. "As to the effect of the Wilson-Gorman bill on the woolgrowing industry of Idaho, it needs no comment whatever. Its effect has been indelibly stamped upon the mind of every man engaged in wool indvstry in Idaho. I want to repeat that I think a reduction in the tariff means disaster to the business. Conditions have changed In that industry. The country has been rapidly settling up, and the cost of production justifies us In asking that the tariff remain where it is on wool, which is a finished product to the farmer and to the laborer." In answer to a question by Champ Clark, Mr. Johnston said that sheep in 1903 were worth $1 per head; in 190S they were $io0. and in 1907, $3.50 each. He thought $3.50 would be the average price today. He said the grade had been im proved somewhat by cross-breeding, but denied that they would yield twice as fuch wool or twice as much mutton as ten years ago. Mutton Saves Profit. Toward the close of Mr. Johnston's ex amination by the committee Representa tive Griggs undertook to prove by the figures of the witness that the sheep business must be operating on a losing basis, or else the figures themselves were Inaccurate. This is the colloquy that occurred ; Mr. Griggs You say the cost of main taining a flock is $2S40. Mr. Johnston Yes. , Mr. Griggs How many pounds of wool But we meet with striking beauty of expression. I quote a paragraph from the "Areopagitica," using the old spell ing. "For, as In a body, when the blood is fresh, the spirits pure and vigorous, not only to wits but to rationall facul ties, and those in the acutest and the pertest operations of wit and suttlety, it argues in what good plight and con stitution the body is. So when the cheerf ulnesse of the people is so sprightly up, as that it has not only wherewith to guard well its own free dom and safety, but to spare, and to bestow upon the solidest and sublim est points of controversie and new in vention, it betokens us not degener ated, nor drooping to a fatall decay, but casting off the old and wrincl'd skin of corruption, to outlive these pangs and wax young again, entring the glorious wales of Truth and pros perous vertue destln'd to become 'great and honourable in these latter ages.

Noi bo fntense. not so natural Shakespeare, Milton is above the bard of Avon In grace, finish, dignity and sustained sublimity. Milton poems have no dramatic power, no humor- but he has left us an epic that ha. made him the white flower growing out of the rock of Puritanism. By nature and discipline It was easy for Milton to stand apart from others. His own children did not enter into his nature, and no woman as his wife could have been happy. That Milton should follow Shakespeare is not a surprise, for if the epic as a rule pre cedes the drama, remember that Mil ton In his "Paradise Lost" makes rea son the master of passion. In Milton we see not only the Puri tan, but also the Cavalier, and in his history a conflict goes on between the lighter and the more serious, and the latter in the end is victorious. The Cavaliers of Milton's day were not al the holsterous and slaves of frolic, but were possessed of ability to think and to be swayea oy kciiuiuo emotion. B. J. HOADLEY.

This island, which is in the Solomon' group, is 0 miles wide, and it is so densely wooded that he was five days in crossing it. The doctor said that the natives of the island are en tirely uncivilized, wearing no clothing and sleeping In the hollow trunks of trees and in holes in the ground.

WH. McMCRRAY, Gen. Pass. Agent, PORTLAND SWALLOWED FIVE BOTTLES OF POISON A man came to me for treat ment a few weeks ago who had talden five bottles of poisonous drugs. He got the stuff from a doctor for the cure of chroolo kid ney trouble and rheumatism. Of course, the patient did not know the nature of the medicine he had been using until I analyzed the contents of one of the bottles. The mixture contained morphine, alcohol and potash in large quan tities. He then realized why he had become nervous debilitated and weak: why his stomach went back on him and his food wouldn't digest. He realized also that if he had continued the use of these poisons much longer he would have beepme a drug slave. Just as thousands of other sufferers have who went to doctors for relief. That's the way all drugs work. They will stop a pain by deaden ing the nerves, but the pain comes back in a few hours and you have to repeat the dose. The trouble Is still there and will remain there until the cause is removed. Now, this man took up my treat ment and began using Electro Vigor every night.

Simply by removing the cause and giving nature the power to cure. The rheumatism was caused by the kidney trouble, and the reason for the kidney trouble was a lack of strength and vitality in those organs. Electricity, which is vitality, was all that was needed. With that force restored, the life and activity of the kidneys was re newed, enabling them to cleanse the blood of all impurities and the cause of rheumatism.
