Before the Boer war it had been in- tended by the people of the Transvaal to erect a colossal statue in honor of Kruger on an imposing pedestal in Church Square, Pretoria. Only the base was erected, however. While the war was in progress the statue, ordered by the Transyaal was delivered by the sculptors at Delagoa Bay. It was im- possible to convey 1t then to Pretoria, so it was laid in a timber yard belong ing to the Lorenzo Marquez Wharf Company, and there, neglectel and al- most forgotten, it has since remained.

Some interesting experiments have been made to ascertain which wood lasts the longest. It was found that birch and aspen decayed in three years, willow and chestnut in four years, ma pie and red beech in five years, and elm and ash in seven years. Oak, Scottish and Weymouth pine decayed to the depth or half an, inch in seven years; larch and Juniper were unin- jured at tho end of seven years. In sit- uations so free from moisture that they may be practically called dry the dura- bility of timber is unlimited. The roof of Westminster hall is more than 45O years old.

money on hand to purchase its own
horse and is inspecting several animals
from which TO select a suitable one to
draw the hose carriage. 1t asks no

ly make an appeal to the City Coun-
Gil for the services of a man TO take
charge of the fire house day and
night, to harness and care for the
horse an do other duties. for which a
compensation of $50 per month will be
necessary.
The city fire department is one of
the best volunteer fire Departments in
the state and the fremen deserve

the organization. At the business
meeting of Independent No. 2 Com
pany Tuesday night, Mr.. Carlisle
Schreyer was elected a new member
and Mr. r. G.. Elliott an honorary
member.
