1t begins to look as if hazing
might be stopped at Annapolis,
but while the classmen are being
punished by being suspended,
what about the officers who for
all these years have at least been
winking at the practice, if no,
actually encouraging it? 1t
would seem as if they deserved
some attention from some of the
court-martials.

The popularity Of our lumber

loads that leave the yards every
day. Won't take a man with a
microscope to find there
somethin' doin' " here all the
time.
And we're not hustling for or
ders either. Just doing our best
to fill all we get with the best
LUMBER
that ever met the tooth of saw.
Somehow the quality and prices

Home.eeker. Information Bureau.

The Chicago, Darlington &
| Quincy Railway Co., has estab-
lishcd a Home Seekers lnforma-
ton Bureau department to their
line of business.
Mr.. ID. Glenn Beaver is their
agent. The plan of the company
is to give excursion rates on GER
tain dates to home seekers and
provide them with all possible
information, free of cost and as.
sist them in locating on govern
mcnt land in this and other land
districts of the state, where
government land can be had,
Mr.. Beaver informs us that his
Bureau already has received six
hundred inquiries and that 100 of
them did not know they could
file on a section homestead.
The first excursion will be run
to this place about the first of
April. The company will pro-
vide itself with duplicate plats
of all land subject to homestead
entry so the homeseekers will he
able to know just where land can
be had.
This certainly is a laud able
enterprise and will not only re-
suit in settling the vacant land,
but better still it will help many
to secure homes for themselves
that otherwise would never be
able TO possess one.

particularly neat, four or five
horses, the only herd of registered
Jerseys in this section. The host
stated that one COW had given
1000 lbs. of milk during the past
year and that the herd of IL head
had averaged 5000 lbs. Six nice
shoats and brood SOW were also
noted. The corn on the low por-
ton of the farm was not up to the
average. Three handsome lap
robes were brought out for inspec.
ton, having been made from the
hides of home raised Jersey heifers.
They were beautifully marked and
presented a rich appearance.
Mr.. Cherry asked for information
about remodelling his ice house
and wanted to know if circular was
preferable to square. He was told
that as the ice was usually cut in
squares, a square house would
afford better packing.
Mr.. Kitchener, after several trials
had built what he considered a
perfect ice house. Had cemented
the stone wall several feet from the
bottom and placed on top double
roof, allowing free passage of air
between the two. The natural con.
dition of the ground largely deter
mined the keeping qualities of an
ice house, as some soils were not
good for drainage and the result
was that the ice melted from the
bottom. and was always lying in
water and melting faster than when
air tight natural drainage was
afforded.
On motion the club adjourned to
meet with Robt. T. Cameron on
September 10.

BIG ENGINEERING FEAT.
Frisco Preparing to DO Some Heavy
Work Near Boston Mountain.

The Frisco will 500 commence a
big engineering feat on the Central
division near Boston Mountain, Ark.
At the entrance to the Boston Noun
tain tunnel there is a long trestle
known as bridge No. /. 1t is l2S
feet high and probably "A quarter of
a mile long. The steel trestle has
stood for twenty years, which is as
long as the insurance company will
carry it. As 1t would be necessary
to put in another trestle the company
has decided to build a large concrete
arch and fill in with earth above the
arch. To do this it is necessary TO
begin the arch at a considerable dis
lance on each side Of the track. Ten
acres of ground have been purchased
and practically all of it viii be need
| ed. The fill will be the largest on
the system and probably h largest
in the Southwest, with the exception
OF one which the Katy will make OF
the revised line between Denison an,
Atoka.
Since the bridge has been used
there has been but one accident on
il. IN 1859 a cattle car was derailed
! on the bridge and tipped over in such
60 way that the door hung directly
over The side. Every head OF cattle
.1u the car fell through 10 the ground
below and We're killed
In making this improvement the
Frisco is carrying out its plan of
building surface crossings ar every
place where they cam be- put in. When
M. engineering work is finished
th.r, viii be only % fev bridges on
'u. Frisco system, and those only
across 90, largest streams
