An Up.To-Oste Shop

Richardson & McCorkle have
been making extensive improvements
in their business during the last two
weeks. They have built a new
office and viii shortly begin the
erection of a large building in the
rear Of the present structure for the
purpose of s,ering wood for manu-
featuring purposes. They have
ordered a new hack saw for cutting
heavy iron shafting. This machine
will enable them to cut the largest
iron bars With ease and will be
great time-saver. They are now
fully equipped to do all classes of
machine work, having an equipment
equal to any found in much larger
cities. A large amount of work has
been turned out this spring in the
way of sawmill repairs and in one
instance the heavy machinery for
mill has been entirely rebuilt here.
The upbuilding sf this industry
means much to our little city a.
trade is brought here from all points
on this prairie.

much more economical basis this
year. Greater inducements will be
the farmers to prepare and

Russian Headquarters, Huan Noun
tain, Feb. 2.-The five days combat
which will go down in history as the

out on a seemingly amending plain
which is broken Only by the southern
Amethyst mountains around Yentai,
the solitary eminence of which is
Liaoyang, tower of bloody memory,
The bright glare Of the sun reflected
from the dazzling eXpanse of snow
was painful to the eyes, and it was
with difficulty thai one could follow
here and there the black streaks mark
ing the Russian soldiers or the WAIVER
ing skirmish lines dashing against
what resembled dull grey rocks, but
which in reality were the villages OF
Lidiatoun and TanlepT and the extern
sive hamlet of Sandepas, Fashioned
by Chinese defenses and converted by
the Japanese into veritable fortresses
surrounded with wire cntanglements
and earthworks. Exposed to the in
tense cold of the Manchurian winter
the mounds of earth had become like
granite and as impenetrable as the
steel side of a modern battleship.
Frozen Earth Fortress.
For five days the Russian soldiers
hurled themselves against the de-
fenses and field artillery pounded
them until the frosty air reverbrated
with the thunder of cannon, the din
of bursting shells and the rattle OF
musketry, but neither steel pointed
she'll nor nickel bullet availed against
the frozen earthworks. The gun
ners actually wept with despair at
the impotence of the attack. Mortar
batteries came up at a gallop in the
hope of demoishing the Notifications.
Night and day stream of she'll was
poured against the earthWorks, but it
had very little effect. The men
seemed Indifferent to cold or hunger,
the former of which was of Arctic in
tensity. Their fingers, hands and
feet were benumbed, while the sting
ing snow and dust blinded them.
Cold Adds to Horrors.
The slightest wound caused excruci-
ating pain. The warm blood no
sooner exuded from the lacerated
flesh than it began to freeze. The
wounded could not be left exposed,
