erlands will bo put to an onormoiu
expense In nttomptlng n blockndo of
Venezuelan ports and possibly In
volved In a struggle In which It will
emorgo ponniless nnd with national
proitlgo dimmed.
The great majority of people cling
to tho hopo that Castro will still
yield. Thoy realize that tho limited
resources ot Holland mako a strug
gle with a country thousands of
miles away a precarious undertak
ing. Tho socialists aro mnklng tb
most of tho situation nnd .declaim
ing against war. A. blockade of
Venezuelan ports, without nctml
war, would bo an expensive thing,
however, and tho Dutch aro wonder
ing what would happen If Castro
should developo bettor staying quali
ties than they look for.
Meanwhile tho ministry hopes that
France can bo Induced to Join Hol
land In tho disciplining of Castro.
It Is thought that the recent fine of
$50,00Q,000 Imposed on the French
company by tho supreme court' of
Venezuela will Induce tho French
government to re-open the case
against Castro.

tho Injury and latter death ot
Charles Scholl, our browmantor and

Scholl did not go to Collins Springs

That statomont which nppoared in
certain Portland papers was positive

running down In health for soveral
months due entirely to a severe cold
which ho caught late In the winter
and ho nover got entirely rid of this

could mako himself easy and takn

had been recommended to him by
several friends, and It was with tho
most pleasant of thoughts and easo
of mind that Charley Scholl left here
for Collins Springs. The statements
made by all the gjicsts who wero at
Collins Springs, during the time that
Scholl was thero shows that Mr.
Scholl had not been drinking and
