From Island Mountain.

Hugh Martin has just received a
letter from his son, Walter, dated
Island Mountain, Feb. 10th, from
which We condense the following:
The snow is about two feet deep
on the level; there is more snow at
Mardis and at Mountain City than
there is here; the mail carrier went
over for the mail on snow shoes and
was gone week; Lou Eastman lost
sixteen out of eighteen saddle horses,
and eighteen yoke of work cattle;
John Huber lost ten COWS. Walter
says:
81 have not been over on the range
since you left, but we go up to the top
of the hill and look down and there is
no snow on the other side. think
there will be more stock left over
there than any place else. There was
a sheep herder who came over on
horseback, and he says there is no
snow from Hicks to the Desert"
He gives an account of a trip made
on snow shoes by himself and little
brother, John. II years old, in which
they travelled "a miles in day, in adj
dition to which the little boy went to
a neighbours and back, miles more,
a distance Of 80 miles travelled in one
day by the little fellow on snow
shoes.

largely attended by their numerous
friends. The entertainment was an
impromptu affair, gotten up by the
citizens of Carlin as a token of the
esteem in which Mr.. and Mrs. McIn-
tosh are held in the community. The
evening was spent in dancing, sing
ing, etc. A fine collation. was spread
after partaking of which a few ap-
propriate speeches were made, series
of resolutions were adopted expressive
Of the feelings Of tho assembled
guests, and much feeling was mani
tested on the occasion of bidding a
farewell to tho departing friends.
Mr.. Mcintosh and family will be-
come residents Of Elko within a few
days, and Mr.. Mcintosh will take a
position in the store of the Elko-

Carson Tribune:-A company COM
posed of enterprising Yankees is about
to turn loose in Egypt and build a
railroad from Port Said through to
Damascus in Arabia Petrea, just as
an offset to the investment in this
country Of so much British capital.
This may be very clever retaliatory
measure, but when the road has been
put in operation and the records show
in fifty round trips grand total of
seventeen passengers, nine of whom
had passes, the wisdom of the move
as an investment stands out striking
ly as something else. Even Yankees
can make bad breaks.

The Late Past Commander Henry w.
Edes, of Boston.
In the death Of Past Commander Henry
". Edes, of EquKy Council, No. 90, Bos-
ton, the order in New England loses a
stanch friend and willing advocate. Com
panion Edes was not man who belonged
TO many fraternal societies; the American
Legion of Honor was the only one with
which he was connected. He had firm
and abiding faith in the American Legion,
and was happy in the belief that the order
would faithfully carry out its agreement
with his beneficiary. He was man Of
sterling worth, a true friend, genial COM
panion, an honest man. During his con-
nection with the order his council honored
him with every position within its gift,
and by the grand commander of Massa-
chusetts he was entrusted with the care of
several councils as his deputy. He also
served on a committee of the grand coun-
Gil. He was MAJ in whose heart there
was no guile. The order is the gamer for
having known him.
Says The American Legion of Honor
Journal: In his report to the supreme
lodge United Workmen last year Will
lam G. Richardson, chairman of the COM
mittee on vital statistics, was inadyertent-
ly led into doing an injustice to the Amer
lean Legion of Honor. In his report to the
session just closed he thus makes amends:
''In preparing the table for last year, owing
to an oversight the deaths in the Ameri-
can Legion of Honor for two years in
stead of one were included in the compu-
tation; hence their death rate appeared as
213 per cent, when it should have been
but 1916 per cent. Their rate for this year
is III per cent, making their protection
at about 81. so per thousand"

CHICAGO MASONIC TEMPLE.

but those matters have been practically
settled, and the way is clear to the erection
OF the building
The plans for the building are not yet
fIlly completed Little more than the ex-
terror has been drawn, and that may be
changed. Burnham & Root are the archi-
tects.
The most important point settled is that
the structure will be the highest building
in the world It will have eighteen stories,
and the roof will be 240 feet from the pave
ment. The ground dimensions will be 10
by ia feet The structure will be entirely
of steel. What the exterior facing will be
is not yet decided. 1t may be terra Gotta,
stone or a special brick made for this par
ticular building. In any case The exterior
will be but tireproofEg, not bearing any
part of the weight of the building. If it
were not for the danger of fire from sur
rounding buildings the whole exterior
would be Of steel
The novel feature of the interior Will be
the plan for having retail shops located on
several floors. In the Basement will be the
largest restaurant in the city. 1t will oc-
cupy all the basement floor except what
may be necessary for storage rooms for the
retail shops above. The restaurant will be
finished deliberately in marble.
The entrance to the main building will
be from State street. It will be forty-two
feet high and thirty feet wide. This viii
lead into rotunda having an area of 3, 200
square feet, and open to the extreme height
Of the building, finished all the way up to
the 240 foot roof with plate glass and mar
bic. There will be a tesselated Roman
floor.
At the back of this rotunda will be the
elevators, eighteen in number, set in a
semicircle
On the first floor viii be elaborate wait
ing rooms An ornate marble staircase
viii lead to the basement. All the stores
facing State and Randolph streets viii also
have entrances from the ro6unda.
The seventeenth and eighteenth floors
will be devoted exclusively to Masonic
bodies. There will be a great nall in which
the whole grand lodge may be maneuvered
in drill, and there Will be many lodge
rooms. \ gallery will extend around the
large hall

they should adopt the methods of hon
orable business men, being quite willing
to be favored by any market condition,
but otherwise dealing squarely. Whether
it would be wise to explain her way of
selling her goods would depend entirely
upon local conditions. Some wholesale
dealers are pledged not to sell direct to
consumers. In that case she should
make no explanation, simply buying by
the quantity for the purpose Of selling
again. 1t is clear enough that any per-
son has right to enter into any honest
business, but if the local retail dealers
chose to hold their jobbers to strict
accounting, any explanation on her part
might complicate matters and make her
purchases difficult.

sickness and either Mt the end of six or ten
years, as the members may select when
they join the society, the amount borrowed
is Cancelled and the remainder of the GER
tificate paid The plan is such that all per
sons who are eligible to membership and
+-ho are between the ages Of IS and 65 may
join subordinate senate by complying
with the laws OF the order, and who viii
afteTward pay all assessments as they be-
come due may receive at the end of six or
