struction that the American manufac-
turers have had the greatest advantage
not only over British, but over all other
competitors. The figures in this con-
nection are, indeed, very remarkable
On the two occasions given by Mr.
Trevithick, when British and American
firms entered into competition, the
former offered to complete the orders in
4S and in 80 weeks respectively. The
American offers, on the other hand,
were for delivery in 1s and 35 weeks, if
the Egyptian designs and specifications
were followed, or in IL and 30 weeks, if
the designs were allowed.
cit cannot be doubted that the main
reason why so many orders for railway
and other plant required in Egypt have
recently been given to America, is that
American firms have been able to ex-
ecute them with extraordinary rapidity.
For reasons to which have frequently
alluded in my annual reports, and on
which 1 need not, therefore, dwell at
present, railway development in Egypt
did not, for many years, keep pace with
the rapidly increasing prosperity of the
country. The natural result ensued.
A moment came when a large quantity
of material was required for delivery in
a short time, and inasmuch as American
firms were in far better position than
others to comply with the requirements
of the government as regards time of
delivery, a large portion of the orders
naturally went to America.
With reference to this particular
question of time, Mr.. Trevithick for
warded a memorandum to Lord Cromer,
as follows: "The Baldwin works are at
present turning out locomotives at the
rate of 1000 year, or % per cent more
than the combined turn. out of the four
leading English firms, viz: Nelson,
300; Dubs, $50; Sharp Stewart, 14O;
and Kitson, 1870. Their secret of success
in rapidly and inexpensively construct
ing locomotives is their continuous day
and night work system of piece-work,
and working to fixed types and tenn
plates. It will be readily understood
how great an economy can be effected
in the construction of machines so
complicated as locomotives when, by
working day and night, double the
amount of work is obtained out of the
plant and buildings (capitaD, when no
scheming nor drawings are necessary,
and when complete sets of templates
and patterns exist.
Moreover, under this system, they
are able to make use of labor saving
machines and tools specially designed
for the manufacturing of the various
parts forming their standard locomo-
tives, the employment of which would
be inadmissible in English workshops,

1ors where they formed a semicircle
at one side of the room while the
ceremony was performed. The
bride was dressed in white, wearing
white carnations; the bridesmaids
dressed in pink, wore pink and red
roses. After the conclusion of the
marriage ceremony and the cordial
greetings and congratulations of
the assembled friends the company
proceeded to the dining room where
tables were set, lastly decorated
with profusion of beautiful flowers.
Instrumental and vocal music fol-
lowed the dinner, interspersed with
pleasant social conversation. The
bride and groom were the recipients
of many presents, pieces of furni-
ture, silver and glass ware, gifts of
utility and ornamentation.

Snakes!

Fred Field was exhibiting big
rattleSnake on the street last Sun
day. He discovered the reptile
summing himself on the refuse dump
pile down toward the 1imekilns and
dispatched him with a shot gun.
1t was a savage looking old serpent,
lacking but two inches of four feet
in length and of proportionate thick
ness. The "varmint" was adorned
with ten rattles and button at the
terminal point of it's body, indicat-
ing that it was eleven years old, as
rattle develops at the end of each
year of it's existence. A rattlesnake
is comparatively a rare find here
about in late years. What remain
are only found in unfrequented
places and in rocky ground near the
river. People who are not familiar
with the habits of these snakes often
have an exaggerated idea of their
ferocity. Rattlesnakes are not ag-
gressive. They will run to cover at
the approach of man and will not
strike unless brought to bay. They
do not chase a person. The snake,
when disturbed, will first give the
alarm by rafting and Immediately
try to escape. His rattle gives
warning to the intruder: Don't
step on me-" If stepped on he turns
and strikes. How far can he strike?
That depends upon the length of
the snake. He does not leap at his
enemy he simply strikes out at him.
Before he strikes he coils himself
and raises his head, perhaps about |
one-eighth of his length, and |
strikes out as far as he can, without |
moving the position of that part of |
his body that is coiled. It can be
seen from this that he cannot reach |
distance as great as his head is |
raised from the ground.

A Republican Caucus for the Sc
lection of delegates to the county
convention will be held at the City
Hall Saturday evening, commencing
at 7:30. Every Republican voter of
the city should be present and vote
just as he has mind and will.
In St. Croix county caucuses were
held lsat Saturday and there was
the largest attendance ever held in
that county at caucuses for the con-
vention to name delegates to state
convention. About 2 ,300votes were
cast in these caucuses. Yet this
represented not much more than
half the Republican vote of the
county. In this city at the presi-
Dental election in 1900, the Repub-
1ican ticket received nearly 800
votes. The caucus Saturday night
should be attended by every one of
the 800 Republicans in the city.

Among the various societies in
the country that have representa-
tives in this city is one that. seems
to us to deserve more attention
from those who are eligible to it
than it has received in the past.
The Sons of Veterans is deserving
of being one of the largest and most
influential orders in the country.
1t is. purely patriotic and philan-
thropic in it's organization and pur-
poses, and it's members are made
up from the ranks of the male des-
cendants of the men who were in
the federal armies in the Civil War.
In many of the states of the Union
it is one of the most important of
the secret societies. 1t is not very
strong as yet in Wisconsin, but is
growing rapidly in strength and i'm
portance. It's greatest strength in
the state is in the east and south.
The north and west has few repre-
sentatives of the order. River Falls
is one of the few cities in this sec
ton to be represented But even
this city is not represented as it
should be. There are scores of men
tributary to this city who are eligi
BILE TO belong to the order and who
probably would belong if it's inter
ests were brought more clearly to
their attention. Why not have those
who are interested take up the mat
ter and push it?

One of the most pronounced fea-
lures in the enjoyment of the cele-
bration here the 4th was the music.
The Ellsworth Band was given the
place of honor and sustained their
excellent reputation as fine must
clans and perfect gentlemen. The
River Falls Band is a recent ven
ture, and had had but little prac-
tice, but they won the good opinion
of the people by their fine appear
ance, gentleman1ey conduct and eX-
pertness in the use of their instru-
ments. They played some fine
tunes and played them we'll. The
boys are to be congratulated and
should be generously encouraged.
Chris. A. Smith is leader of the re-
organized band. He is a first-class
musician, as this community we'll
knows. He has succeeded in inter-
esting a sufficient number of young
men, unsteady inclined, to form
themselves into a band under his
direction and instruction. The
people of this community owe it to
themselves, to the town, to encour-
age and support this band. There
is no reason why River Falls should
not have first class band,-no rea-
son except that people do not give
such venture the necessary en-
enlargement.

Preparations are under way to put
down a cement walk from the Free
man drug store to connect with the
cement walk laid last year in front
of the new G.. T. Smith building.
Considerable filling is necessary in
front of the Jensen building where
there was formerly stairway into
the basement. It will probably not
be long before the business part of
the city, or the part in which the
stores are located, will all be sup
piled with this walk. 1t is little
unfortunate that the buildings on
either side of Main street are not all
on the same grade, when the laying
of cement walk is contemplated.
The fact that all buildings on the
same block are not built on the same
elevation is a serious situation when
the laying of cement walk on the
line of these buildings is considered.
