"John Unwind mine to America boforo tho revolution nnd built u tfltely mansion tit Altnuiount, Now York. An nssoclntloti of his heirs has been formed by about sixty of the Howard descendants living In and near Schenectady. iMra. M. M. Kent of Tncoma, Is also ono of tho oldest living de scendants of John Hownrd. She tells of tho earlier family being held ns hostages by Indians. She also tells about tho Hownrd coat of nrms which wss on a smnll locket and worn by hor mother for forty years. The locket was lost, however, and can not bo used as evidence. "Iicsldes tho family crest, the old family blhlo Is supposed to record tho family history showing tho re lationship between John Howard who built tho "old stouo house" nenr Altnmoiit and tho Howards of lllr nilnguain, England, whose enormous estate passed to tho ciowu on the death of the Inst Kugllsh heir, Nicho las Howard, In 1 SHI'. "Tho family's last resting place rt Altnmoiit, was Hltuntod on it knoll near tho mansion. The only grave still marked with n ImttdHtono to show tho location of tho burial spot. is that, of ltobert Hurst Howard, n grandson of John Hownrd. The stone, broken off and lylnx lint, from tho Inscription evidently was erected by a sorrowing sou or daughter of tho deceased Howard. ItoiiKhly chiseled In the slab nre tho words. In Memory of HOWARD II U It ST HOW AItl who died Juno I. WVi. Agod 71 years. Knthor has departed before mo Allllctlon no more be shall see Ills work has Tho rest of the Inscription on the slab has been effaced by the w ather nnd cannot he deciphered. "A marked coincidence is the fact that tho only Howard burled on the estate, whose grave Is marked, died in the same your In which occured tho death of Nicholas Howard, the last of the KiikIIsIi heirs to the Ulr iulnghniii esinie. "The estate in (he HehlerherKS has passed out of the possession of the Howard destendaiitH, nnd Is now the summer home of Cardiier C. Leonard of tho tlrm of Cot roll and Leonard, Albany. "Tho hone and faim have under gone a ioiiihikiiIiIo transformation.

"The following letter from ono of the heir's to our fellow citizen, Char les Sterling, will be of Interest and shows tho progress made lu getting evidence. Schenectady. Jan. 12, 101 .'1. Mr. Chns. Sterling. Sllverton. Ore. "Dear Sir "I received your letter and In nnswer will state Just how I nm re lated to tho Howards. There was a Jnmes Howard and a Hubert Howard. They were sons of John Hownrd who camo to this country from IJnglnml. As I understand, accorodlng to whnt your sister. Mrs. Anna J. Adams told nio you are n descendant of Hub ert Howard's family, nnd 1 nm sure I am a descendant of James How ard's family. Wo have been trying to locate tho old blhlo for tho past three years and did not get any trace of It until we got an answer from M. T. Adams of Albany. He rend thu Knickerbocker press. His law yer wroto to us nnd told us we could seo the blhlo nt his olllce. A com inltteo of four went to Albany and met Mr. Adnms with the bible nt the lawyer's olllco. That was the first tlmo wo had ever met any of those descendants. Tho only ones wo over know tiro tho James Howard's de scendants. Wo started nn ussocla tlon nbout two and one hnlf years ago nnd elected olllcors for the pur pose of Investigating tho Howard tate. Mr. Austin WIllinuiB was presl dent and ho had a large nuinbor of proofs, most everything except tho old bible. Ho mndo some progress at first and receUed some letters from Knglaiid nnd wo wero ntilto en couraged, but nil at once ho seemed to lose all Interest In the business and wo did not hour from him for a year and finally wo wont and had a talk with him, and ho said ho did not have time to attend to It, but If wo wonted to go ahead with It he would glvo i'n n copy ()r a tho proofs ho had In lilt, poBJosBion. Well, tho 111 t thing wo did was to ndvertlse for tho blhlo and have elected now olllcors. Wo had the meeting here In Schenectady and wo started new. Mrs. Anna J. Adams was elected Piesldont nnd Mr. M. T. Adams vlco president; my husband. Mr. George D.igonhart, soeretary, and I whb elec ted treasurer. All thoso present nt tho mooting gavo five dollars each toward paying tho expenses of the lawyer, who wo engaged to look nf or our Interests In Kngluiid. Tho lawyer has sont somo money to niiKland nnd thoy Imvo started searching tho records over there. Now If there Is any one you know who Is liiterost.ed in I lie undertaking and would liko to help us, kindly lot us know, because It will tnko some money to pay tho expensoa, but If each ono glos a row dollars It will amount to itilto it largo sum and 1 am sure wo will use tho money to the best advantiige. Hoping to henr from you again. 1 roninln Yours Truly, .Mrs. (Joorgo Dagenhnrt. Mr. Sterling has some hopu of getting his Hhnro of tills Immense '".m1"1"!' "Mil If he does, Sllverton w III tnko n boom. Ho biij-h that ho will begin by helping tho Sllverton Journal to tho front. Ho would seo to It that our paper Is largor than tho Oregonlitn mid that wo have lino type machines and everything nec essary for a metropolitan newspaper." UHlt.YKY XOTKS. . . , Now that Marshflold Is eonslder nt the possibility of having a pub lic library building. It will be of more than usual Interest to make .in culmination of the library eon littous In cities about thu same lze as Marshflold In this state. Below are statistics, compiled from the report of the Oregon Li brary commission for 1!)13 and the Oregon Blue Hook of 1911, show ing the towns, their population, Income and cost of building: Albany, 4275; .3 mill tax, cost of building, $17,G00. Ashland, 5020; cost of building $17,000. linker. 07-12; Income $3000. Dallas, 212 1; income $1000; cost or building, $10,000. Hood River, 2331; Incunio $1750; cost of building $17,500.

Of these libraries, linker, Hood liver, and Thu Dalles nro count) ibrarles conducted nnd supported y the county and thu city. The statistics given above must uake uvery person who cares for ho growth of tho elty consider, lood Hlver with n population less Inn that of Marshflold is to have i $17,500 library. Its Income Is J 1 750 n year, ns compared with the iicomo of the Mnrshfleld library, vhlch Is $1020 a year. Dallas with a much smaller pop ihitlou than Marshflold Is to have i $10,000 building, and It- liaa an ueoiiie only $20 less than the ilaiBhflold library. McMlnnvllIo, also with less pop ilntion, Is to have a $10,000 bulbi ng, so nlso is Nowborg. Plucky Ittle Union, with less thnn one mlf Marshfleld'H population, Is dunning on a u500 building.

It Is proba bly one of tho best blogrnpnlcal es Hays lu the Kugllsh language, and no library can have too many cop ies, ns It Is so frequently Included n tho required reading list for both high schools nnd colleges.
