Christmas Festivities.

Christmas was spent by major
ity of the people here in visiting
one another and having a good
time together. Family gatherings
and friendly parties brought good
cheer to the hearts of many, and
was perhaps the best way in which
the day could have been spent.
The Christmas tree and enter
tainment was a success so for as
the program was concerned. But
a change of place was decided upon
after the program was published
and it was held in the store build
ing formerly occupied by N. F.
Williams. This proved to be alto
gether too small and lily ventilated
for the purpose, as the number of
people attending was greater than
had been anticipated. We under
stand the reason for the change
was desire to keep the floor of the
hall clean for dancing. The pro-
gram was we'll rendered, the young
people doing exceedingly we'll and
their efforts being thoroughly ap-
preciated by the older folks. The
adults taking part in the program
won well-merited applause. We re-
frain from mentioning any in par
ticular where all did so well. The
distribution of the presents from
the beautifully decorated large tree
brought gladness to the hearts OF
the children None were forgotten
There were nice presents and candy
and nuts for all the young children
whether present or not. Miss Bir
dina Tennell and her aides may
feel justly proud of the success.
The dance was well attended
many coming from outside points
and was kept up until daybreak.

prince Hilkoff, retiring minister of
railways told me that if he had accom-
plished much in making the railway
system of Russia efficient 1t was due
entirely to the experience and knowl-
edge gained in America. Russia Is rich
in minerals of all kinds. Steel manu-
ing to her for manganese. and her cop
per deposits are among the richest il
the world Coal and iron are plenti
full. and many localities can be found
where precious metals can be mined.

not get pretty much everything one
wants in Russia. Factories Of all kinds
are there, and the products are general

featuring is gradually developing, the
immediate future wealth Of Russia lies
in agriculture.
"A trip through the empire is like
riding through the great prairie states
of the Mississippi valley. With the
gradual adoption of policy of land
owning by the peasants so that, as they
enrich the lands in the way of increas-
ing their productivity and at the same
time enrich themselves. habits Of thrift
and saving will soon come.

Go it. Ilellyl You have him on

and, amid the laughter that followed,
Kelly leaped down and made for the
door,
When Raymond overlook him again
he was in talk with lean young fel-
low with large. bright eyes, who had
the tone Of an old and bitterly disap-
pointed man.
Kelly introduced him. Rob, shake
hands with Mr.. Dolan, correspondent
of the Valley Springs News. Jim, this
is my new partner"
Dolnn, as he clasped hands, remark
ed, you've met up with good man,
man that won't do We, and there
aren't many like him in this town.
Only long after did it come to Ray
mond's mind that Kelly had been CIV
ing Dolan a note concerning their
plans and that his whereabouts would
be at once made known to Valley
Springs and to Louis.
"Who is this man Munro" asked
Raymond as they left the reporter and
started for home.

said Raymond. 1.-The big owners in
the Springs are sending east for their
miners. They know that men like you
and me will not do their deep work for
them. He's right, too, in saying these
cowboys and farm hands from the
states won't make miners. They don't
intend to work underground. Well
find ourselves left short some morning
if we depend on these fellows, who can
hit the trail at ten minutes notice."
"Sure thing said Kelly. "rhis get

to be done by the Rooshians and the

In silence the two men looked abroad
over the valley toward the dim line of
peaks family lit by the big silver
bright moon.
A sentence from Richter came into
Raymond's mind, "In the presence of
beauty, beneath the stars, men think
of love" and his heart ached with a
sense of loss.
Unconsciously, in spite of his at

his musing hours. At thought of her
he grew resolute and hopeful and,
reaching forth a powerful hand, Crap
