SALARY FOR CHEF.
The Council Will be Asked to
Pay the Chief Fire Warden
a Reasonable Salary,

At the annual mass meeting of the
members of the Little Falls fire de-
partment last May a resolution was
passed unanimously asking the city
council to fix a reasonable salary for
the chief of the department. whose
duties are also those of a fire warden.
To do his work properly, and for the
benefit Of the city, requires consider
ably time, and in all cities salary
is paid for the services. Few cities
pay less than $25 per month. It
would be of great benefit to property
owners if the danger from fires was
reduced by careful ms pection of the
city by the chief, and premises kept
in more safe condition. There is
no doubt but the present chief, C. N.
Lafond, would perform his duties
faithfully, and the council should
consider favorably the application OF
the department that will be present
ed to them this evening.

Worlds Fair Letter.

DEAR EDITOR:
1 have not got quite through talk
ing about Chicago and the great
Worlds Fair. I went out and spent
Sunday, the 9th of August, with my
friend Long, at Bowmanville. He
showed me about LIST the nursery of
Mr.. Peterson, consisting of several
hundred acres of fruit and forest
trees Of all kinds. The largest trees
in the forest are some times taken
up and transplanted. The largest
one that he knew of being trans
planted was an elm feet across at
the butt and 200 feet high. 1t was
taken up in the winter time, the roll
OF dirt being left on the roots was 60
feet across and was moved several
miles on rollers. The tree lived and
did well, after being transplanted.
Cemeteries are plentiful after leaving
Lincoln Park north along the lake
shore. One of the most popular is
the Rose Hill cemetery which we
drove through. It contains over 700
acres, about 400 acres OF which is
now occupied. I noticed that the
lots and drive ways were very irreg-
ular and that it contained two arti-
fetal lakes. One man owned the
land and put it into. lots as they
were wanted, which are no more uni
form in size and shape than the
pieces in a crazy quilt and there is no
uniformity observed in digging the
graves. All the heads are not laid
to the west, but in every direction
that best fits the irregular shaped
lot (which they may be buried.
John Wentworth, who many years
ago was several times mayor of Chi
cago, being very wealth man and
was generally spoken Of as Long
John, is buried in this cemetery. He
occupies a small block by himself,
has a fine monument, I should Judge
the shaft to be Is feet high. The
noted character and millionaire Smell,
who was misteriously murdered in
Chicago a few years ago is buried
here, but does not occupy as much
space and has not as costly a monu.
ment, He had but two children, g
son and a daughter. The SOL
charges his sisters husband with
being the murtlereraof his father, but
it is changed to ;S,misterions char
acter named Tascott, that has beer

sheriff. i S r.
1 On Monday, thes2Sth,sI went into
the fair. The first thing that
looked at that interested me mucl
was a case OF diamondsfrom Vienna
! The diamonds taken together wer
said to be worth over two million
dollars, the most costly set consist
ing Of 5 pieces was worth one hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars.

the largest leather belt in the world
it being rolled up and was 81 fee
