The nine large boilers of thirty horse
power capacity set in the field north of
the well and we're connected with two four
inch pipe lines. One of these lines

At each boiler stationed a man whose

sure was kept up to I25 pounds. 1t was
estimated that the combined boiler pressure
would not be less than 225 horse power.
Two f"ur-inch water lines were laid to the
we'll from the north with four two-inch con-
nectOns. Fifty feet of hose attached

Question Ans wersO.

Yes, August Flower still has
the largest sale of any medicine
in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmOthers
never thought of using anything
else for Indigo -tiOn or Bilious
ness. Doctors We're scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appen-
dictiS, Nervous PrOstratiOn or
Heart failure. etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need Il few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with
you. You can get this reliable
remedy at Lafayette Drug Co.

Politics III Wire Fence.

Springfield Republican Und.).
1t has been suggested that a
barbed wire fence be built along
the international bOundry line
in Northern Montana to aid the
customs officials in patrOlling
the border and enforcing the
tariff laws AS it is now cattle
particularly cause trouble.
They are worth about 20 per
cent. more on this side of the
line than the other, and seem
to know it, for it is said they
have a way of drifting in
this direction when human
beings are not visible to the eye
of the guardians against SNUG
Cling. But it is found that if
the fence is built at the joint
expense of the two governments
it will be much cheaper to have
Canada furnish the wire, even
though it comes from the
United States. This is because
the steel trusts are selling wire
to outside countries at lower
prices than are charged to home
consumers. A fence con-
Structed on those terms would be
a fine illustration of how the
trusts are working to undo the
home market while the govern
ment is engaged in fencing it in.
