John Howard r-iiniu to America In
1773 and today flu generations hnvu

rightful owners of a vast estate val

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

"Tho family's last resting place rt

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

"A marked coincidence is the fact
that tho only Howard burled on the

tho death of Nicholas Howard, the
last of the KiikIIsIi heirs to the Ulr

"The estate in (he HehlerherKS has

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."

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.
La (i Hindu. 4342: Income $2700.
McMinnvHIe, 2400.
Mnrshfleld, 21180; income $1020.
Mod ford SS40; Income $3000:
est of building $20,000.
Newberg, 22C0; Income $1000;
'ost of build $10,000.
t'he Dalles, 4.SS0; .2 mill county
tnd .1 mill city tax; cost of build
ing, $10,000.
t'tilou. 11S3; cost of building
(5500.
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. Un
on has also been on a tax busls
dure tile beginning of 1912.
Let us seo what Mnrshfleld can

f)enr Sir:
I have n clipping on my desk,
alien fiont your paper before
hiistmns nnd kept until I should
;mvo leisure to write you. It Is
leaded. "Heinoinbor the Library,"
Hid suggests gifts or books. I
vn nt to give a book to tho library,
Mid can think of nothing hotter
linn that literary classic, Mnrntilny's
Warren Hastings." 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. This
"opy Is one I used myself lu high
chool, nnd Is well annotated,
Tl.ough a bit travel-worn It Is still
lu good serviceable condition and
I hope will prove welcome. If
overyouo who rend that note of
ours In The Times would send
you what they could from their
book shelves, your llbrnry would
i-ecelvo tho proverbial "feast of
reason and flow of soul."
Cordially yours,

aches can only be permanently rellered
by removing the came. In many caaea,
various remedies taken to relieve these
conditions result In ruining the itomach
and prerentng It from dlgeatlng food
In a natural way.
If you want your itomach to do 1U
