The violent storm of Friday after
noon did considerable damage on the
nearby lakes where many people of this
city own cottages and boats. Harry
Haskell. the grocer. had previously
draw up his boat on the shore of Snow
pond and built as he thought, sub
stantial protection about it. The out
side covering was blown out on the
water and is seeking winter quarters
elsewhere. People who have been en-
joying the trips on Blake's steamer
will forego that pleasure for while,
as the boat will be laid up for repairs.

Borax in the United States.

The boraX fields of the United States
are mainly in the desert dry lake"
region of southern California, though
deposits are found also in Nevada and
Oregon. Borax was first produced in
the United States in 1864, at Borax
Lake, California. The borax was con-
tanned in the water of the lake and was
obtained by evaporation.
The saline crusts Of the so-called dry
lakes or bOraX marshes of the Mohave
Valley were next mined for borax, and
afterward, about in 1888, work was be-
gun on the beds Of colemanite, or
borate OF lime, in San Bernardino Co.,
Cal, from which most of the borax
mined in the United States has since
been obtained.
\ ne amount of crude borax produced
in the United States in 1903 was "a. 439
shor1 tons, valued at 1861. 400. The
production in 1902 was 17.404 short tons
of refined borax, valued at s2.4f.S14.
and 1900 short tons of crude borax,
valued at sS1, 600, total Of 20.O04 short
tons, valued at $2,53S.614. or the re-
fined borax 1872 short tons, valued a.
$4,000. were boric acid. Had tn,
valuation in 1903 been taken on the re-
fined instead of the. crude product the
figures would have been $2,735,00O in
stead Of 1861 400.
The amount Of boray. borates and
boric acid imported into the United
states i'm 1902 was 1.694,251 pounds,
valued at s63,236 In 1903 the amour:
imported was 800, 251 pounds. valued at
$47.01s.
Refineries for borax are located at
Bayonne, N. j.. Brooklyn, N. Y, New
Brighton, Pa, Chicago. ILL.,. and San
Francisco. Cal. where various more Or
less secret processes are employed to
convert the crude material into prod
ucts designed for various uses.
Borax is used for many purposes.
When melted at a. high temperature 1t

In the manufacture of granite iron
ware and OF enameled bath tubs and
other articles. as we'll as IN making
pottery and earthenware. Manufac-
turers of the hard, tough grades Of
glass and of encaustic tiles are large
users of borax. 1t is used by painters,
tanners, hat makers. and calico
makers, as well as oy beef packers.
The domestic uses of borax are
widely known. and in chemistry and
metallurgy the borates are employed In
many ways.
A clear account OF the borax inc ustry
in the United States is given in a
pamphlet entitled The Production Of
Borax in 1903" by Charles c. Yale,
forming chapter in Mineral
Resources of the United States, 19O3,"
from which the above facts have been
taken. This pamphlet, which contains
detailed statistics covering the produc-
ton and importation of borax in 1902
and previous years. is printed for
gratC;tous distribution and may be had
by ii.Ilication to the Director Of the
UnstcI States Geological Survey.

A TEAM MISSING.
Rev. VIM. Pettigrove Looking for Hired
Mand and Outfit.

A horse and carriage belonging to
Rev. VIM. PettiSrove and farm hand
nv the name of Chambers, employed by
Mr.. Pettigrove. have been missing
since Thursday night, and it is gem
orally thought that both went at the
same time. Thursday morning, Cham
hers drove Mr.. and Mrs. Pettigrove to
the station where they were to take
the train for bingham. Mass. After
leaving them he went to the nome OF
Nelson Goodell and asked permission
to stand the horse in his stable for a
short time. He did not return FOR his
team and it is supposed that he walked
back to the farm. took another horse
and carriage and disappeared in the
night At this writing no clue had

The Man Who Knows How to Decide.

The great demand of today Is for the
strong. vigorous, positive man. the man
who not only makes up his mind, but
does so with firmness, and, when he has
considered all the circumstances and
conditions of the matter he Is called
upon to decide, does so once for all.
and then throws it Off his mind and
passes to something else Such a man
usually has superior executive ability
He can not only make q program. but
he can also carry it out, He can not
only decide upon a course, but he can
also execute it to a finish.
Every watch has an unseen spring
back of the dial which compels the
wheels to revolve and makes the hands
mark the time with precision; so be-
meath the works of every great enter
prise. at the head of every great es-
adjustment, although not often seen
by the public, is a strong character ~
this kind, a man with an iron Rrii,
who makes things go and forces tn,
wheels of the machine around, rt.i.i
ting their motion with precision. There
is no going back of him: his decis on
is absolute. definite, final. Others can
consider. advise, or suggest but he is
the man who makes the program and
sees that it is carried out. He is the
dominating power. Everything else
must point to him, and all others must
get their cues or orders from him. Ii
he steps out or ceases to act, the in
stltution is like a watch with q broken
handspring. The wheels are all there
and ever rthing else Is in place, but the
power is gone and nothing moves. The
iron hand, the decisive power back of
it all. has failed to lend its impulse.
The splendid business which A. T.
Stewart had built up went to pieces
when the great executive and organ
izing force that had guided it was re-
moved. The famous old New York
Ledger" which Robert Bonner b. his 4
audacious and original business meth
DDS had raised from an insignificant
little financial sheet known as the
Merchants Ledger" to the leading
story paper OF tE;is country. began to
decline Immediately after the master
mind, which had made it, ceased to be
its inspiration.
There is only one Of these great
leaders to thousands of followers. 1t
is easy to trail, to lean. or to hang on
to the one who leads, but It takes
courage grit. and stamina to he origi-
nal. prompt and decisive. % stand
on ones own feet, and to
trust entirely to ones own Judgment.
