rnE ONE THING NEEDED.
Indications Point TO n Number OF New
Dwellings FOR kingwood.


There is going to be comfortable
building done in Kingwood this
summer, as has been the oase every
summer since the town first figured
on the map, but more and better
buildings are scheduled for erection
during the coming mild weather
months than has ever before marked
any n years record. They are
eertaily needed bad enough. There
has always been a deficiency in the
residedce line-more particularly
the cottage class, where there is
Just enough room for the young
married couple, or a man with a
small family. who much prefers TO
live IN a building to themselves to
the rented rooms proposition or the
inconvenient and nearly always un-
satisfactory boarding house c
sity. Small, comfortable dwellings,,
or dwellings OF any size or range of
comfort will sell or tent just about
as fast as they can be completed.
Along with the FIRST merry note of the
bluebird will be heard the music of
the hammer, saw and trowel and
may every number of the program
be encored time and time again.

Degree.

American Author Receives University
Degree. Q
Oxford, Eng, June 27.-With thirty
men distinguished in politics, arts,
sciences or letters, including Premier
Campbell Bannerman; Lord Chancel-
lor Loreburn; the speaker Of the
house of commons, Mr.. LoWther; Gen
eral Booth; Rudyard Kipiing and the
archbishop of Armagh, the Most Rev.
William Alexander, Mark Twain (Sam-
uel L. Clemens) received university
degree in the Sheldonian theater, the
scene of many notable gatherings,
which was crowded with university
dignitaries In their robes of Office,
students and many visitors, including
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and nu-
merous other Americans. Lord Cur
zon Of Kedleston, chancellor of the
university, presided and did much to
enliven the proceedings, which or
dinarily, with the exception of the I'M
dergraduates' chatting, are rather dull
Mr.. Reid was cheered on entering
the theater, but an ovation was re-
served for Mark Twain, who certainly
was the lion Of the occasion. Every
one rose when he was escorted up
the aisle and he was applauded for a
quarter of an hour. Ambassador Reid
received the! degree Of doctor of civil
laws, as did General Booth, the
warmth of whose reception was only
exceeded by that accorded to Mark

Claim of Telegraph Companies at San
Francisco.
San Francisco, June 2'.-The situa-
ton in the telegraphers' strike re.
mains unchanged, with everything
peaceful around the main Offices of the
companies. The formal notice of the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies to their striking operators
to return to work was ignored by the
men, as was expected. None returned
to work and the chief operators and
officials of both companies are busy
working at the keys themselves. The
company officials said that the refusal
of the men to return severed finally
the bond heretofore existing.
Superintendent May of the Western
Union declared that his company was
enga ging men. but would not say how
many. He said they were coming
from all directions and that normal
conditions would prevail soon.
The officials of both companies claim
they are but an haG an hour behind
in their work all the time. The gov
eminent business was being handled,
it was said, without any delay at all.
Although messages are being han
died with reasonable promptness so
far the companies refuse to take them
except subject to indefinite delay, ow-
ing to the fear of interference with
tha wires

CAUSES MUCH COMMENT.
Intention of Government to Assist
Japs in Damage Suits.

Washington, June 1;:-Some COM
ment having been excited by the in
structions to United States District
Attorney Deviin to assist the propri-
etors Of the Japanese establishments
in San Francisco in the prosecution of
their suits for damages sustained
through the mobbing of their places
it is explained by some of the officials
that this rather anomalous linking of
the national government with pri-,
vate plaintiff is brought about through
a desire on the part Of this govern
ment to redeem it's pledge to the ef-
feet that the Japanese in America
shall enjoy all the rights guaranteed
to them by treaty. The necessity of
vesorting to this course Of action is
deprecated and it is said that the out
come will be an appeal to congress,
probably at the next session, to pro-
vide by law for the removal from state
to federal courts of all issues involv-
Ing the treaty rights of resident aliens.

Pilgrims luncheon in his honor. The

which was classic and full. Of humor,
concluding with tribute which

Others-all of which are at present In
that state where a definite announce

UNREST IN The ARMY
French Government Alarmed at
Extent Of INSTRUMENTATION.
WINE GROWERS REMAIN FIRM

Despite Surrender of Their Leader
the Federated Committees Decide to
Maintain the Civic Strike Through
out the South of France.
Paris, June 27.-The governments
hope that the return of Marcellin AL
bert, the leader of the wine growers
movement, to the South after his in
terview with Premier Clemenceau
would result in a change Of attitude
on the part of his followers has been
blasted. The federated committees
have decided to maintain the civic
strike and the ''redeemer" or "apos-
tle," as he is variously termed, has no
alternative but to surrender himself
to the authorities in accordance With
his promise to M. Clemenceau. Never
theless, the excitement in the dis
turbed territory continues to subside
and the government believes that,
barring some unfortunate incident
which may again inAame the people,
the latter will gradually come to their
senses and realize that a prolongation
of the present situation will only in
crease their misery. The government
now apparently is as much concerned
over the INSTRUMENTATION manifested
among the troops as the unrest of the
wine growers, for in spite of the eff
forts to minimize them the new out
breaks show that q. .~.
Breaches of Discipline
are occurring in the army daily. The
government is now awakened to the
necessity Of dealing with the de-
moralization engendered by the So
cialist anti-military propaganda and
the press commends the decisions OF
the government to exile the mutineers
of the Seventeenth infantry and to
postpone indefinitely the bill provid-
ing for the abolition of courtsmartial
in times Of peace. --.
The position Of the cabinet grows
increasingly difficult and M. Clemen-
ceau's sole object seems to be to
weather the storm until the summer
vacation of parliament affords a
breathing spell.
The government has announced that
It will prosecute the members of the
General Federation of Labor who
signed the manifesto felicitating the
Seventeenth infantry upon their mu-
tiny and inviting their comrades in
the army to follow their example.
