In this\nconnection it will be remembered that\nIn certain engagements in the spring\nof 191*5 some defective ammunition,\nwhich appears to have been hurriedly\nprovided after the outbreak of the\nwar, was unfortunately supplied the\nforces at the front. It Is universally\nagreed \"that this ammunition was responsible for much nf the difficulties\nthat occurred. *\u25a0-\n\"Sir Max' Altken, who is quoted by\nGeneral Alderson as having signed a\nreport adverse to the Itoss rifle as a\nresult of certain tests in which this\nammunition in part was used, wrote a\nfew days afterward as follows:\n'\"I beg to say that at this test of\n.ammunition T wns satisfied that thero\nwas no complaint against the R'oss\nrifle ^on account of jamming of ammunition. I think several officers'who\nwere present at the test came to the\nsamo conclusion, Including n very distinguished officer who holds ibe rank\nof brigadier-general,\n\"At ihesc tests -when 'KN' and 'E'\nammunition were used, 100 rounds by\nboth floss and Lee-Enfield rifles were\ndischarged without jamming and without misfires. On April 8 last, a most\nimportant test took place in the presence of Major Gen, Steel, several other\nCanadian officers and of Lieut.-Col,\nPrlsmal, musketry staff officer. Col.\nI'rismal's report says:\nResults of Tests.\n\"The demonstration was divided into two parts, in the first part the\nmen fired as many rounds in one minute as they were able. In tbe second\npart, two flretu one with the Ross rifle and the otlfPr with the Lee-Enfield\nrifle for seven consecutive minutes\nas many rounds as they were able. The\nresults Svhlch are attained show that\na, high rate of fire con he reached by\ncertain ffrers. Constanct .practise in\nloading -and handling the rifle, however, is necessary if a high standard\nof efficiency Is to he reached and\n'maintained. The seven minute continuous firing illustrated particularly the\nlimitation of rapid fire ami the effect\non both rifle and firer. The fatigue of\nIhe firers,' the heating of the barrel\nand the conseriuently difficulty in aiming were apparent. Both rifles worked well, extraction was good and the\nbolt-; worked smoothly. Tbe ammunition used was D A 191*5.'\n\"After this demonstration wns concluded a series of shots with defective\nammunition 'B H,\" was fired, and\ngreater trouble was experienced In\nextracting with the Lce-Knfield than\nwith the -Ross rifle.\n\"Ross rifle\u2014Average rounds fired\nper man per minute, 22.2; average hits,\nper man per minute, 21.2; average\nscor.? pei: man per minute, 63.6.\n\"Lee-Enfield \u2014Average rounds fired\nper man per minute, 19.r>- average hits\nper man per minute, 17.S; average\nsco**e per man per miiyite. 47.7.\n\"Genral J. C McDougall, in command of the Canadian training division at Shorncliffe. wrote in .lanuary\nlast:\n\"No cases of Jamming in either rifle\nbave occurred here in months and the\nconfidence of the men in these rifles\nand ammunlation has been established. Though rifles jammed In the past\nwhen using B14 and G14 and certain\nmakes of D C ammuntion. The steps\nthen .taken were to withdraw the bad\nammunition.\" '\nA pronounced view is expressed by\nLieut.-Col McCormiek, who has just\nreturned from France: '\n\"Have seen the -Ross rifle In active\nservice for the last year and a.half.\nThe general work in active service\nconditions prove the Ross rifle to be\nthe most popular, the surest and the\nsafest rifle used by any nf the belligerent armips in tbe great\" theatre of\nwar.-\n\"The opinion of Major A. E. Swift,\nfor many years chief inspector of small\narms in Canada and now on active service, will carry weight with the Canadian people. He writes from the\ntrenches:\n\"My experience is that any rifle\nWill jam if it gets clogged with dirt.\nThe Lee-Enfield will also do this, I\nblame the cause of jamming to poor\nmaue of ammunition. One mark B1'5 is\nvery had, and If this marl; of ammunition was gauged1 I feel certain that\nin many Instances it would be found\nhigh to guago, in other words, too\nlarge for four rifle chamber;\nOther Views.\n\"Major General Steele writing three\nweeks ago, expresses the view that as\na result of the tpsts made on the\nHythc ranges April 8, It will be 'seen\nthat the Ross rifle Is a superior small-\narm to the Lee-Enfield, capable of developing a higher rate of fire, while\nstill maintaining its accuracy\n\"The demands of the war on the productive capacity of the Empire in the\nmatter of rifles have been extremely\nheavy. The Canadian facto hyras* mul\ntiplied its production many, many\ntimes.\n\"The ROss rifle was ihe only rifle\nwe could produce at the outbreak of\nthe war and to have undertaken at any\ntime since to haVe stopped such production In order to enter upon the task\nof readjusting the Ross rifle plant for\nthe production of another weapon Involved 'deplorable, if not disastrous delay, was a responsibility not to 'be\nlightly assumeil. lt will not^be difficult for ,the serious-minded men of\nCanada to agree that the better course\nhas been pursued.\n\"Shortly before the regrettable incident of this publication took place the\nprime minister had cabled through a\nproper channel to Sir Douglas Haig,\ncommander in ohief nf the British\nforces at,the front, virtually placing in\nhis Jiands. after proper test, the question as to J.ho further utility of tho\nRostf rifje. Sir Douglas Haig is a Brit-\nIsh officer trained and accustomed to\nanother weapon. The reference to him\nunde\/ such, circumstances will, it is believed, be accepted as satisfactory by\nthe public of Canada.\"\n(Continued from Page One.)\nTRAIL HOTELS\nPhone 9.

When Rodman Wanamaker announced his second plan to fly across the Atlantic the\nworld of 1916 paused In expectation\nthut had In it ho particle of ridicule.\nFrom the time in tbe thirteenth or\nfourteenth century, when a man Is\nsaid to have flown more than a furlong from the top uf a tower tn Spain,\nsupported by a sort of parachute contrivance, to the time of Langley, man\nhas made many experiments in his\nefforts to rise' above the earth and\nmove through the clouds, Borelll in\n.1670 gave what is purported to be the\nfirst authenticated account of a machine equipped with an artificial wing.\nAn English professor named Petti\ngrew, nearly two centuries later, de\nscribed his elaborate studies of .bird\nflight, bringing about a revolution in\nflying machine construction.\nIn 18-11 Benson described a machine\ncombining aerial screws, propellers\nwhich revolved'on vertical axes to lift\ntheir weight, with extensive supporting structures. About three decades\nlater Strlngfellow's design for an\nengine won a prize at the exhibit of\nthe Aeronautical society of Great\nBritain, Uul his machine wus a failure.\nThen came* Muy's aerial steamer, a\nlight and powerful skeleton frni.ne on\nthree wheels, with an eiiglnje dispensing with u boiler, fn 1906 M. Fluren-\ncie perfected his orthopter, a pair of\nwings attached' to u central frame\nand moved by the operator's feet.\nFrom- the man In Spain, then, lo\nProfessor Langley experiments had\nted steadily away from dirigible balloons, through 'the machines equipped\nwith screw propellers, past those built\nwith flapping alul beating wings, and\ninto the period when all recognized\nthat man could best fly with the assistance of a series of planes or nero-\ncurves attached to a heavier (ban air\nmachine.\nWas Man of Vision\nLangley was one of those men\nwhose vision penetrated fair In advance of his time and who acted upon\nthat vision. In the face of popular\nopinion, In the early nineties his experiments led- him to see the aeroplane practically as it lias developed.\nHis \"tixperinieius in Aerodynamics,\"\nand \"The Internal Work of the Wind,\"\npublished In 189! and 1893, have become aeronautical classics.\nLangley's aerodrome, driven by a\nnaphtha engine, made a flight of\nthree-quarters of n mile Nov. 28, 18911.\nCongress then helped him to construct und test.ii lull-sized aerodrome,\nand In 1903 this tailed twice, the second time being wrecked. These failures, Professor Liiiigley insisted, were\nnot due to any defects in the machine\nItself, but tu certain difficulties with\nthe  launching mechanism.\nFrprp Langley in YVunuinuUer, nerq-\nnautlcal aehi-'vi-iurnt.s aite more faml-\nlier. The Wrights, Curtiss, the Vol-\nslns, Farmnn, tfleript, Rue, oiiudruu\u2014\nthese are but jn few uf the names\nwhich have dulled the public, prints\nWith bulletins of man's conquest; ,,f\nthe air during the past score of years.\nIt was a Wright machine in which a\nman was first curried from the ground\nlu actual fllglu by mechanical means\nWithout artirieipi aids. That machine\nremained in tiie' air 59 seconds and\nflew a distnnc-y of* 852 feet.\nLong^FJights Common\nThese figures are pigmies beside\naviation records as they stand tuday.\nCruss-cuiintry flights have become\ncommuii. Scarcely a month goes-by\nwithout some man's flying a little\nhigher, a little faster, ur a few miles\nfarther than any man has flown before. Aviation through steady progress has become so securely established that the start of Mr. Wami-\nmaker's transatlantic flight will find\nthe majority uf men ready to recelv\nthe news of its success with little, if\nsurprise,\n\\\nof American-made machines, and to a\ndozen other reasons why Mr. Wanu-\nmuker's     confidence     seems    firmly\nfounded,\n\"We who are close tu developments,\" says Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America,\n\"find reasons to believe we are on the\nthreshold of a new age. The air craft,\nwith the wireless telegraph and telephone, are factors essential to the\nboundless extension of that wonderful\nsystem which makes a democratic nation out of 48 states, an extension\nwhich promises world peace.\"\nThe time for the Wanamaker attempt has not been set. Neither have\nthe details of his new machine's construction been made public. That ma-\nchile is now in course of construction,\nand It can be said that on the best authority that It will possess some features which will surprise that part of\nthe public which has not familiarised\nitself with the strides forward taken\nby aviation manufacturers In this\ncountry In the past few years,\nThe machine In which Wanamaker\nfirst planned to make the over-ocean\njourney was the America, but when\ntho war broke out this was taken to\nEurope, where It has since served\nEngland well, probably somewhere In\nFrance. The new machine will 'be a\ngreat Imporvement on the America,\nand also on the so-called super-America . Th Is su per- America has two\nmotors, each with 160 horse power.\nThe Wanamaker project, however. Is\nonly one nf several Indications of the\nImportance In the whole world of the\nfuture of aeronautics. For the present\nIs Is sufficient to remember that\nLangley's short flights and Wana-\nmukcr's plun stand on the same plane\nof significance. Who can say that the\nadvancement beyond Wanamaker will\nnot parallel in extent the progress\nmade since Langley?

One may he\nfound working on tho third floor of the\nWisconsin Historical 'Library building\nat Madison. Until last year there was\nnone uf this work which was high\ngrade done in this country west of the\nAlleghenies. All work that the university had was sent tu Massachusetts.\nLust July the process was introduced\nto the stale blstorlcal library.\nThe first tblng done In tho process of\npreserving the letters is to place them\nbetween wet* newspapers under a\nweight und leave them for five or six\nhours. This removes the creuscs and\nthe dirt, Then they are put between\nwood-pulp boards and left 21 hours\nand then between blotters to complete\nthe drying procoss. The next .step Is\nto repair the paper. The paper of\nsome-of these letters Is su uld wlieu\nreceived that it falls to pieces if struck.\nIt Is strengthened by a layer of orepo-\nllne, a transparent cloth, on both Hides\nof the piece of paper.\nOther letters need mending along the\nedges with parchment paper. Tu cover\nholes a piece uf paper is glued over\nthe edges and Is left larger than Hie\nhole until dry. It is then cut down tu\nthe proper size and the edges are\nsandpapered until smooth. After all\nsuch repairs are made the letters are\nmounted on large white sheets nnd\nprepared for binding.\nThe Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co.\nof Canada, Limited\n\u2022   Offices, Smelling and Refilling Department\n'TRAIL,   BRITISH   COLUMBIA\nSHELTERS AND REFINERS\nPurchasers of Gold, Silver, Copper snd Lead Ores\nTRAIL,   BRAND -RIG   LEAD,   BLUKSTONE   AND   SPELTER\nTHE NELSON IRON WORKS, Limited|\nPARTIAL  LIST OF  8ECONO-HANO  MACHINERY  FOR  8ALE\nENGINES\n1 6 x 24 Surfaccr and Matcher.\nI 100 h.p.

In conversation, the other day with the wife of one\nof tho leading members of the headquarters staff, lt came as a surprise to\nlearn that so many Canadian women,\nthe wives, daughters, mothers or sis\nters of officers and men, either in bar;,\nracks or at the front have for many-\nmonths been Installed either in their\nown furnished houses or In apartments\nand boarding houses.\nWomen Who -Are in Charge\nThat this considerable body of Cana'.\ndlnn women has not been idle Is shown\nin tho work oT tiie Canadian Women's.\nWar Work committee organized, in\nFolkestone, somo months ago,.of wl)icl\\\ntho wives of Sir Sam Hughes and General Steele are honary presldejits,\nMrs. J. C. Mocdougall, president; Mrs\/\nW. S. Pierre Hughes, and Mrs. G. S.\nRennie,. vice presidents, and Mrs. H. J.\nCowan, secretary. A sub-committee\nwith Mrs. George Andrews of Winnipeg as convener, has charge of tho\ndistrict hospitals, visiting the men in\ncars; other sub-committees, under\nMrs. E. Cleghorn, of London, Ontario,\nand Mrs, King Mason, look after comforts and organize official Red Cross\nhospital visiting.\nTho men are rend to, wi'ltten for and\nhavo all the work they aro unnblo to\ndo In reference to their domestic nf\nfairs done for-them. Another sub\ncommittee, sees every party of soldiers\noff who are being invalided home to\nCanada, and sec that they get refresh,\ninent at tho railway station and add\na parcel of comforts for the voyage\nsupplied by the Red Cross depot at\nShorncliffe, in charge of Mrs. H&r-\ncourt Vernon. The new discharge\ncentre for invalid soldiers is to be at\nBath instead of Shorncliffe, and ar\nrnngemonts are being organized to\ncontinue the work from that centre.\nNo Overlapping or Waste\nOn Saturady afternoons the commit\ntee gives a. lea to soldiers sent alter\nnately from Moore Barracks hospital\nand Shornclifi'o Military hospital. This\nwork originated from a small committee formed in June, 1915, at the suggestion of Major, the Rev. Canon Piper,]\nand has now extensive affiliations in\nCanada from where it obtains the nec-\nessary support without overlapping the\nwork of tho Canadian Red Cross society, Canadian War Contingent dssocia-'\ntion, or other organizations, but .cor\noperating with them. In fact, not Only\nin Folkestone, but In the big London\nni-ea, it is safe to say that there is little\noverlapping, or waste of either money\nor energy in the various good works\nbeing done under Cnnadltin auspices,\nthanks to the type of people who have\ncontrol, and, as wus remarked, the other\nday, the splendid oi-gnnlz-ing ability of\nthe Canadian women.\nFOR RENT\u2014FOR RENT\u2014Housekeeping rooms, $8 per month.

YV. Buel, an engineer, of 15 William street, for the\nconstruction at some point on fcong\nIsland or the Connecticut shore, on a\nline between Suyvllle and Bridgeport\nof the highest otwor in the world to be\nused by the Federal Holdings company\nin wireless communication with a\ntower near Buenos Aires, for which a,\neoiu-cssion has heen obtained from Argentina. '\nA till granting the company a concession for a similar tower is now before the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies\nand negotiations are under way for a\nsimilar concession from Uruguay for a\nplant near Montevideo. Efforts are\nbeing made to obtain concessions that\nwill make possible wireless stations\nthroughout South America. The plana\nof the company afre said to have the\ncordial support of the department of\ncommerce at Washington.   .\nWork on the tower, which will probably 'he built in Connecticut, will begin\nas soon ns the government has approved a site. The new tower must he\nsufficiently distant from tho SayvlUe\nand Tucker ton stations to prevent Interference with one another's messages;\nAccording to the plans, the neyt\ntower will he 1000 feet high, 20 feet\nhigher than the J3ffel tower, and* Its\nwireless plant 'will be more than, twice\nas powerful as that of any other wireless station in existence. It must bo\ncompleted within a year and ready to\ncommunicate with th- station at Buenos Airep, which must be in operation\nwithin ti year validate the concession.\nOfficials of the navy, state and commerce departments have aided the\ncompany to reach understandings with\nSouth American countries, because of\nthe stimulus which intercontinental\nwireless communication is expected to\ngivo to the Pan-American movement.\nThe European war shows that one-of\ntho first steps o'f a belligerent Is to;\ncut cables and shut the enemy'oft from:\ntho outside world. It has been pointed;\nOut that cutting the ciubles between\n(his country and South America wouljl\nleave the two continents' without memiB,\nof quick communication.

It is even yet a simple\nmilieu for the head of one of the\nmightiest -forces In the world. I emphasize this fact because there appears\nto be some sort of curious, all-prevailing belief in the public mind that army\nheadquarters are abodes of luxury.\nMy friend Stanley Washburn, the\nWlso and1 war-learned correspondent of\nT\u00abhe Times with the Russian armies,\ntola me that such rumors were current\nIn Petrograd about the' Grand Duke's\nquarters. Numberless whisperers made\nthe'same suggestions about the British\nGeneral. Headqu\u00bbrters, all quite untrue,-as I happen to know from personal .observa\"tlon. In Paris there have\nbeen newspaper hints about grandeur\nat the Grand Quartier-General at\u2014\n;. The surroundings and habits of General Joffre are, I know, as simple as It\nis possible for a man of his position\nto maintain with dignity.\n,; General Joffre likes punctuality. On\nmy former visit I was received to the\nminute, and this time we arrived a\nTheure, and wero escorted at once past\none or two sentries and secretaries to\nthe modest chamber In which he\n\u25a0works. Joffre is dressed exactly like\nany other general In the French army,\nwith the simple three stars that denote\nhis rank. There are many who think\nthat It would be better for his position\nas generalissimo If he were made a\nMarshal of tho French themselves. It\nIs certainly anomalous that generalissimo should have to give directions\nto field-marshals.\nI hav(e already described General\n\u25a0Joffre In another newspaper, so I will\nbe brief ff\u00bb to his personality He. Is\nof medium height, Is largely made, has\na massive head (\"such wonderful blue\neyes,\" an ecstatic American girl said\nto me in Paris), heavy eyebrows, and\ndeliberate movements tn manner and\nspeech. The war has upset all the\nridiculous opinions we entertained for\nmany years of French people, chiefly\ndoubtless as a result of caricature. The\ngreat soldier always gives me the Impression of an English northcountry-\nman. He has a chin whose width will\ntest to the utmost any politician who\ntries to trip him.\nIn front of him on a table were, as\nhe told me, the German commulques.\nAlso, lying there, was a long list of the\ngoods entering Germany through neutral countries. We discussed a great\nmany matters In connection with the\nwar which I am not at.liberty to print,\nbut he will have no objection I am\nsure, to me, stating that be expressed\nsatisfaction in**Sir William 'Robertson\nand Sir Douglas, Haig, and lhat he\nspoke warmly of the development of\nthe British, army,-and equally warmly\nnf the Canadians- and Australians)\nTho large, firm hands that rested on\nthe table ns he leaned forward and\ntalked quietly and confidently as to\nthe war are those of a man nf im-\nmpiif-e determination; \"Pere\" Joffre,\n(is his Rohllerse affectionately call\nhim, has no under-eatlmatlon of the\nenemy, but like all the Allied soldiers\nnf the western front, he knows by all\nsorts of signs thnt the German army\nof 101C in not the German army of\n\u20221914.\nJoffre mado many private enemies\nand thousands of public friends by the\nremorseless way In which he got rid of\ninefficient generals, rtiany of tbem per\nannul acquaintances, at tho outset of\nthe war. He has continued that policy\nwith the result that\" today the officers\nof the French army are probably tbe\nyoungest In the field. There are many\nlookers-on at the present war among\npureslves and our Allies who wish that\nthe. process could be extended to our\nlines. It does not need any great\npowers of observation, even while\n.waiting at Victoria station for incoming officers home from the front, to\nrealize that In our wonderfully Improving army there are still many to\nwhom the milder activities of Cheltenham, Bath, and Southsea would he\nmore suitable than the strenuous life\nof the tortuous lines of trenches fam\niliar to the public in the newspaper\nmaps.\nThe Industry of General Joffre is\nenormous. He risers every morning\nbefore six, lunches at eleven-thirty,\nwalks a good deal, dines at half-past\nsix in the evening, and Is asleep at\neight-thirty. Hh knows every kilometre of the whole of his vast line by\npersonal investigation and constant\nHispection. He has frequently 'tray\nersed as much as two hundred and\n.\u25a0fifty miles In a day in his car, and so\nthat there may 'be no delay his own\ncar Is always followed by another in\ncasejthere should be a breakdown.\n\"tTow Is he bearing the war?\" people\nasked me in Paris. I can truly say\nthat General Joffre, in the heat of the\nbattle of Verdun, looks strong, well,\nand cheerful. On my previous visit I\nthought he was showing signs of war\nfatigue; Today, In the midst of the\ncollossal series of hattles that has\nlasted for weeks, the head of the wonderful French war machine has the\nhealthy look of a country squire in\nthose good old days, two years ago,\nwhen men' rode to hounds a couple of\ndays, a, week.\nAt it Again\nWo have opened up our Ice\nC*?eam Parlor and as In the pajst\nyears are' making our own Ice\ncream with\t\nPURE FRESH CREAM. <\nTry It and let   us   have   your\nopinion,\nChoquette Bros.\nj-,** The High-Class Bakers and\nConfectioners.\nPhone 258. 518 Baker St.\nTwo Days More\nAnd Then the First Summer Holiday\nof the Year\nNO MATTER WHAT MAY BE\nNECESSARY TO COMPLETE P,RE^ ,\nPARATIONS POR THE HOLIDAY\nOUTING OP SUMMER, THIS IS\nTHE PLACE TO GET IT.-.\nSELECTIONS IN THESE HOLIDAY STOCKS ARE BROAD AND\nAMPLE, QUALITIES ARE IMPLICITLY TO BE RELIED UPON,\nWHILE VALUES ARE SUCH IN\nTHE MAJORITY OP INSTANCES\nAS WILL ADD GREATLY TO\nTIIE PURCHASING CAPACITY OP\nMONEY SPENT HERE.\nAND BACK OP ALL THIS IS AN\nINTELLIGENT  APPRECIATION  OP\nYOUR NEEDS THAT WILL ADD TO\nTHE    SATISFACTION    OP    YOUR\nSELECTIONS.

The organization, ho said, was now prepared\nto handle all the men who might return, finding suitable positions for\nthem or1 seeing that they were properly taken care of.\nMr. Hamber, who Is associated with\nMr. Peters and accompanied him on\nhis trip, Is said to be one of the most\nactive workers In the endeavor to see\nthat every soldier who returns to the\nprovince is properly taken care of.\nMr. Hamber is head of tho British\nColumbia Mills, Timber and Trading\ncompany and managing director of the\nMiddleboro Collieries at Midway.\nPREVEH.Fi,  i\nWOOD-TICKS FOUND\nTaghum Man Says Pesta do Not Inhibit Trees and Brush but Live\non   the   Ground\nAfter following closely the activities\nof the malignant wood-tick, Francis\nAlabone of Taghum has come to the\nconclusion that, contrary to tho popular belief, these ferocious creatures do\nnot lie in wait for their unsuspecting\nvictims on the limbs of tho trees and\nleap upon tbem\u2014alla-same bob cats\nand panthers\u2014but lurk In the grass,\nattacking tbo traveler via the pedal\nextremities, \u2022\nMr Alabone states that he made a\ncareful examination of a section, of\nbush, inch by inch, where wood-ticks\nwece particularly thick, but that ho\ncould find no traco of any on the underbrush or trees, while the ground\nwas swarming with them.\nAfter trying a number of experiments and losing a considerable quantity of his life's blood, Mr. Alabone\ndeclares that he has at least -found a\nmethod, by the use of which the attacks of the little creatures may be\nguarded against\u2014provided the user\ndoes not sit down. This discovery he\nhas given to the world, which he feels\nwill be a better, brighter and happier\nplace to live in during the wood-tick\nseason, by reason of it. Here follows\nthe method:\nSaturate two pieces of lamp wick in\nturpentine and tie them around the\nboot tops, after \/first having turned\nup the bottom of the trousers, so that\nthey do not touch tho wiok. In this\nmatter, no provision has been made\nfor women who may wish, to go walking In the luftmts of the ticks, but it is\nbelieved that any of these will adapt\ntheir raiment to suit tho circumstances\nwithout being furnished with any\n-further details* The discoverer declares that all the wood ticks he has\nmet have evinced the greatest antipathy to the Odor of turpentlno and\nwill flee at the approach of the wearer\nof It, but he adds that it would be\nwise to carry a supply of the liquid,\nwiti which to moisten the lamp wick\nfrom time to time, as the turpentine\nevaporates quickly. Mr,. Alabone\nguarantees the users of his discovery\nimmunity from the bites of these pests,\nif\u2014and this Is the point ho wishes\nemphasize\u2014they keep right on\nwalking.\nWATER  RISING\nIn the last two days the water rose\nl'\/fe Inches and now registers. 9 feet\n5% inches.\nFour Snaps\nModern Homes at Half Price\nCircumstance), have brought Four Parcel, of Improved\nProperly into the office which will be sold very cheaply but\nmust be sold at once.
