ANOTHER BOOST FOR
THE COMMONWEALTH

The Commonwealth is making
greater and greater strides. They are
now negotiating with one of the Local
companies with view to buying their
business. This is company which
has been doing business here for
some time and has several hundred
mer 5efs in Denver. This will add
very much to the strength of the Com.
monwealth here as it will give them
great increase in business in force.
probable reason for the proposed
sale of the company is found in the
fact that the Legislature Is now about
to pass bill which will compel all
companies to put up $4,000 with the
state. 1t is thought that this will ser.

An unusual type Of Roman villa has
been unearthed on the site of the an
cient Roman encampmeTt in Britain
at Caerwent. The remains have been
found to be in an excellent state OF
preservation. A departure from the
conventional practice of the Romans
in the designs of their residences. as
revealed by previous excavations in
that country, is the provision of extra
rooms abutting on the four sides OF
the courtyard. In the Easements two
completely perfect heating devices or
hypocausts were found, together with
the peculiar blue tiles utilized by the
owners for conducting the heat from
the stove in the basement and radiat-
ing il through the upper rooms of the
dwelling. In the basement some ex-
quisite specimens OF Roman paving
were unearthed.
