Back From A1aska-One of the
old timers OF Jamestown, who has
been given up for dead for a long
time, no one hearing from him, drop
ped in on his friends Sunday and
had a lot of fun Oh the quiet with
them before they recognized the lost
one. The stranger was none other
than Rarney j. McGee, who left
jamestown 20 years ago and went to
Seattle where he continued his occu-
patton as railroad man for number
of years and when the first gold ex-
citement broke out in Alaska, went
with the rush to the KloDdyke. He
has spent ten winters in Alaska, and
comes out with the greatest faith ir
the future OF tn at country. Barney
knew every body. here 20 years ago,
but 1T was almost. like .old Rip Van
Winkle, he says, to go back to some
of the other towns where he once
lived and find no one there who
knew him. He has touch of gray
to his once black curly locks, but
otherwise is the same old merry eyed
Irishman, who had scores OF friends
in the early days.here and who put
up many a job on his best friends for
the pure lovesof joke. Mr.. McGee
has done well in the gold country,
and yesterday. went to church and re-
newed acquaintances. He has been
since November in the states visiting
his old home in the east and spend
ing some weeks in the south. He re-
turns to Seattle in a few days, but
in the meantime is holiing court at
the Gladstone.

HEATING OF HOUSES Isl


The satisfactory heating Of houses
in this state. is a matter of import
ance and general tatelest. The ques
tion OF which is uhe best and cheaP-
est and most dependable nethod fer
all kinds Of weather furnace, hot wa
ter or a combination Of both OF steam
has various advocates advantages
and disadvantages. The results OF
extended experience with..aa kinds OF
heating apparatus in all kinds OF
North Dakota. wind and weather
tests will have to determine the
question which ds get with many
families an open one.
The heatingof farm houses IS as Of
great Importance Us the heating OF
the town house. Comfort and econo-
my Of fuel on the farm are being
sought after by every up-to~date
farmer. The following experience Of
a farmer on the Golden Glen farm in
LaMoure county this winter is given
in the Edgeley Mail but it is to be re-
gretted that the cost OF Installation
is not reported:
Editor Mail.-We are often asked
10 regard to the benefits of our steam
heating plant and therefore will offer
this brief. history for chose who may
be interested.
Will say that this is the second
winter as trial Of an upright Gem
furnace with eight radiators in ten
room house exclusive of kitchen and
pantry. Five radiators have been in
constant use to warm seven rooms
Without any banking around the
house and the other cellar doors ajar
most of the time. We will base calcu-
lations on the past six weeks which
has been the coldest period in the
history Of the country. Fifty pounds
of hard coal at O'Clock at night and
the same amount at Z o'clock&in the
morning has kept our rooms nicely
warm with no further trouble except
the adjusting Of the drafts about
twenty minutes after coal Is added.
One pail of water supplies the boiler
for eight or ten days. "a
This winter am not shaking my
CRATES as hard as last and thereby
have no coal to sift, using about one
third of the ashes to top dress fire
thus consuming everything combus-
tible. Our radiators are comparative
ly noiseless having the escape valve
set right and good slope to the steam
pipes. 1t is a pleasure to know that
if the fire is not too near out that
fifteen minutes will put steam in the
radiators and that they can be
turned on and off in unused rooms
without danger Of frost. On the
morning Of the fourth Of February,
1t was the expression Of the family
that it ''must be getting warmer;
must be above zero" We learned
later that thermometers registered ,36
degrees below zero. This will 60 to
show our appreciation Of the steam
plant with 70 above zero inside and
36 below outside. This plant has
given US no trouble whatever.

BAIL FOR THAW
is STILL A MATTER OF
THE FUTURE.
No Move Made Monday
10 That End.
District Attorney Reiter-
ates Statement That He
Will Oppose Efforts
to Get Bail.

New York, April 15.--No move was
made today to get Harry X. Thaw
out on bail. Lawyer Daniel OReilly,
who is the active lawyer in Thaw's
behalf now, said that he didn't think
anything would be done until Dis
trlct Attorney Jerome returns from
Lakeville, Conn, on wednesday. Mr..
0'Rellly may want to sound Mr.. Je-
rome on the subject, but the district
attorney has announced that he will
vigorously oppose any application for
bail. II is evident that Lawyer
OReilly realizes that 1t will not be
such an easy matter to get Thaw out
on bail. Some very convincing argu-
ments will have to be made before
a supreme court justice will assume
the responsibility of letting Thaw
out OF the Tombs. The members OF
the family say that they are ready to
put almost any sum to get him out.
Lawyer O'Reilly spent part OF today
looking for a lawyer TO take charge
of Thaws second trial. This makes
1t certain that Dolphin Michael Del
mas will have nothing to do with Il.
From remarks that have been made
by the Thaw lawyers he may have
some trouble in getting a successor
to MIR. Delmas. II is understood that
Thaw made II very unpleasant for the
lawyers, at least some OF them. ana
lawyer OF standing who hears what
happened between Thaw and the law
yers may consider the situation very
carefully before accepting a retainer
Mr.. Delmas received call To-Day
from Juror Wilbur +. Steele, onc OF
the Jurors who voted for acquittal.
II was Juror Steele who made things
so lively In the jury room with Juror
Pfaff. Mr.. Steele said he called on
Mr.. Delmas to pay his respects to him.
He said that Mr.. Delmas was out OF
the case. that he was sure or It;
otherwise he wouldn't have called on
Mr.. Delmas. lie wanted to find out
why certain points In the Thaw de-
Tense had not been made stronger. he
said. Mr.. Delmas said that Mr.. Steele
Just dropped in on him to ask him
II he knew q friend Of his in Cali
fornla. Mr.. Delmas said he knew
him very we'll. and Mr., Steele said
that the friend, a Doctor Gordon,
was his brother.in-law. Mr.. Delmas
added that he couldn't see any reason
why citizen OF the town should not
call on another citizen OF the town.
That brought Mr., Delmas around TO
say that a story that he was going
hunting In Canada. and they would
return to California was entirely un-
true, He intends to stay in New
York, and has rented Offices for FIVE
years.

IN The INTEREST OF REAL ESTATE.

A recent report of the Edgecombe
Homestead and Loan Association of
Tarboro shows an excellent record
during its Is years existence.
Through its aid have been built
two knitting mills, houses for more
than 400 persons in the village of
Runnymede, the Masonic temple,
and many other buildings.
Could not our town have a real es-
tate and loan concern Of like nature?
1t would mean a large increase in
the value of town property, as well
! as a growth in the number of prop
erty owners. Right now, on the en-
trance to new year, many families
are unable to say where they will
live, on account Of the scarcity of
houses. Such condition is retard-
VIVA -
ing the growth of the town, and
thus hindcring a possible increase in
our future business. Such concerns
have been organized in smaller
towns than Scotland Neck, and have
never fallen under Is per cent. divi
dends on amount Of stock invested
many of them paying as high as SO
per cent, thus making it not only &
safe but a paying investment TO,

would like to benefit the town a:
well as himself, investigate. He
can but become Interested!

Letter to Frank Smith.
Scotland Neck, n. G..

Dear Sir: The easiest way we
know-of to make little money is
if you're going to paint-to paint
with the paint that takes least gal
Ions.
Take a small job; say it takes 10
gallons Devoe, two coats; that's an
average house. When the job is done
and the bill comes-in, it is $50; the
paint, ETC., $3.50; the rest is for Ia.
Dor and carriage; the labor is fixing
the surface, shifting ladders scaffolds
pulleys and ropes, and brushing-or
paint.
Take another job exactly like that;
try another paint; it takes IL gallons
The bill is $40 more. Take another
exactly the same; another paint; il
takes 20 gallons. The bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe; there's &
dozen 12:gallon paints, and 100 tina,
take 20 gallons to cover a 1O-gallor
job.
The only difficulty is in finding-ou1
Devoe. After that you save work
there's less work in 10 than in IL O,
20 gallons; less paint to buy and less
to brush-on and less wages to pay.
If Devoe were only little better
than others, there'd be some difficult
ty to fnding-out the difference. Il
goes twice as far as half the paints
that ought to be easy.
d. 1t wears longer too. You'll wait /:
good while, if you wait to fnd-out
how long it wears; there are thous
ands of people who know that tn,
least-gallons paint wears longest.
Yours truly,
SO F. w. DEvOE & Co.
