LAYING BOARD DRAINS.
In Some Localities and in Certain
Conditions They Are Almost as

While tile is the standard material
for drains, it quite often happens that
a tile drain does not do so well as one
would expect from so expensive an
outlay. In soft ground they Will some
times get out of line or sink into the
mud. At places the line of the drain

which adds greatly to their cost. n
tile drain is no more exempt from
trouble with roots, silt or vermin than
is one made of boards. In sections re-
mote from tile yards freightS add so
much to the cost of tile that their use
is almost prohibited, but it is especial

claim belonging to the Copper King
company some months ago, and that
since that time active work has been
started on the claim under the direc-
ton of Messrs. J. J. Cook and A. d.

The Mike Sutton is an old claim
upon which considerable prospecting
had been done but without concen-

was to establish the firm belief that
the claim would make pay mine.

was made, and after investigating the
ground at various points spot was
selected whereon TO start work for a

taken several samples of ore recently
and these were shipped to the East
for test but no returns have yet been
received. In former workings ore

quantities. A vein of copper pyrites

ChiIdren,s Day.

Last Sunday morning occurred the
the annual celebration of Children's
Day. At the First Presbyterian
church large and interested audience
assembled. Before the hour of open
ing the seating capacity was taken,
and notwithstanding the heat, the
little ones acquitted themselves nicely.
Songs and recitations from the kinder
garten occupied the first part of the
program Character Building was
the theme running throughout the
service. A very unique and appro-
pirate exercise was the representa-
tion of the building as read in I'd
Peter :5-T. ''The sure foundations
being the first brick and upon it the
others rested, according to the scrip
lures. This being so practical in
view of the new church in process of
of erection, it was more fully appre-
ciated by those in attendance. One
of the pleasing features of the morn
ing was the concert recitation of the
23diand 12lst Psalms, the apostles,
the boolrs of the Bible in rhyme and
the com mmandments. The class pass
cd very successful written examin-
alton on one hundred and fifty ques-
tions, thesr average being very good.
The diplomas were presented by the
pastor, Rev. Wilson. preceded by ap-
propriate remarks.
