LOTS OF SNOW
First Hard Snowfall of the
Year Experisnced/the
Past Week.


For the first time this winter North
Parkers are able to mske use of their
sleds, the snow storm commencing last
! Friday and continuing the greater part
bf the time since, having left sufficient
quantity Of the beautiful to insure good
sleighing for month to come, barring
n too vigorous warm spell.
In Walden there was good eighteen
inches on the level but this has packed
down to about ten inches Around the
Park next to the mountains the depth is
considerably greater.
Not for years has the North Park
known so mild and open winter as has
been experienced this year up to the pres
ent time. When other sections Of the
state have received severe storms the
weather in the Park has remained prac-
tically the same, with several cold snaps
to keep the residents from forgetting
that it was supposed to be winter
The amount OF snow on the surround
ing mountains is about the same as in
previous winters, and no lack of water
for irrigation will be experienced the
coming summer.

Hosting Plant.

The work of installing Il steam hoist
and pump at the Village Bell mine, Mt
Pinkhampton, has just been completed
and to Mrs Hendrickson was given the
honor of turning on the steam and hoist
ing the first bucket of water from the
mine.
The Village Bell is owned by NJ. A.
Mi Her and Dave Hendrickson, and is one
of the best looking properties in the
north end of the Park. The lead is
strong and well defined carrying good
percent of copper and gold. Heretofore
the mine has been worked at n disad

a steam plant development work will
progress rapidly.
Considerable work has been done on

DEFENSES IN PACIFIC.
Hawaii and the Philippines Are TO
Be Fortified.


There is to be no delay on the part
of the war department in utilizing
the appropriation made at the last
session of congress for fortifying the
American dependencies in the Paci-
fic.
In order that the keys to these
for defense as rapidly as possible, the,
department is arranging for the
transportation of ordinance material
purchased for American coasts to
Hawaii and the Philippines, and will
replace it at once with funds which
become available on July 1.
The appropriations include $780,
900 for the construction of sea coast
batteries to Hawaiian Islands, and
$4,000 for the same p0rpose in the.
Philippines.
For accessories s150,000 was
granted and for the construction OF
mining casemates, necessary for the
operation OF submarine mines, $780,
900 was authorized. For the pur-
chase of submarine mines and the
necessary appliances to operate them
an appropriation of s205, 400 was
made.
1t is understood that orders have
been issued to the transport Cook to
make special trip to Honolulu and
Manila. The transport Will carry
mines for Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
and Olongape in Subig Bay, the two
points which would have to be de-
tended in the event of a war.

CLERK LOCKED IN.
Firemen Broke Open Big Vault to
Rescue q Man.

Locked in vault for more than
an hour, Joseph II. DAILY, clerk in
the Office of the Consolidated Gas
Electric Light and Power company,
Baltimore, came very near smother
ing to death in the Continental Trust
building Thursday night, and had it
not been for the prompt action of the
police and fire departments in break
ing open the vault, William E. Brasn-
ers, fellow clerk, who locked him in
accidentally, would probably have
nassed the night in the station house
with the charge of causing a fellow
mans death laid at his door.
AS it was, when DAILY was finally
released, he was weak from his IN
effectual efforts to free himself from
his plight. DAILY and Brasher had
been detained at the Office of the
company during the evening. AS they
were putting the records away,
Brashers said to DAILY that it would
be joke to lock DAILY in the vault.
While bantering over the subject,
Brasners swung the vault door, the
lock snapped, and DAILY was a prls-
oner.
Brashers was panic stricken. He
tried to work the combination on the
vault, but could not. Then he yelled
for the watchman. Next 1t was de-
cided to telephone to the police. The
police came and then il was decided
to call out the fire department.
The vault was surrounded by
six-inch wall Of terra Gotta and brick
so the fire fighters got out their pick:
and axes and went to work digging
hole in the vault. After an hour!
work they made six-inch aperture
through which they passed tools tt
DAILY. He was able to wrench the IN
side of the lock apart and the dool
flew open.
DAILY staggered out so weak h
could hardly stand. He had beer
cramped in standing position ant
had been unable to move or tur1
around. An electric light burned II
the vault, and DAILY felt that he Woui(
stifle before aid could reach him.

CAN'T TRUST THEM.
Army and Navy Run Out All Japs
and Chinese.

Following the policy Of putting
only Americans on guard, it is under
stood that orders have been issued
forbidding employment of foreign
ers on all military works at naval
stations. A similar order was issued
some time ago relating to the en-
ployment Of foreigners on the ships
Of the navy. This resulted in the dis
charge of a large number Of Japan
ese and Chinese who had shipped as
stewards and in other minor capaci
ties.
The naval officers were rather sor-
ry to let them go, because of their
efficiency, but it was found that the
japanese especially were using much
Of their time in making careful eX-
animation of their ships and guns
and learning a lot about machinery,
ETC., which it was not supposed a
mere cook or cabin boy would care
to know.
The policy of depriving foreigners
of this source Of information has now
been extended to the works on
American Notifications, and the news
comes from Manila that a number Of
japanese who have been employed
on the Notifications and also the o.
ongapo and Cavite naval stations
have been discharged.
Army manoeuvers similar to those
which are going on this summer at
all the principal ports of this country
are about to be conducted at Olong-
opo, where army and navy forces
will join in an attack and defense of
that place. That is for the purpose
of developing the strength or weak
ness Of the meagre Notifications in
place there now and to ascertain the
points at which new. defenses are nee

The Fair Sex.

Never judge a womans brllllancy
by the lightness of her hair.
It's easier to get engaged to a girl
than it is not to marry widow.
If you want woman to do a GER
tain thing get her to say she wont.
A woman isn't necessarily homely
because she is unspeakable hand
some.
1t takes lot of courage to enable
a woman to admit that she is homely.
No matter how much man loves
woman she think he ought to love
her more.
When a woman insists upon her
rights all mere man has to do
is stand from under.
The fewer attractions a woman has
for sensible man the more fools She
attracts.
About the first thing a woman re-
quires when she takes up the STUDY
of art is mirror.
The average woman seems to tnlnK
that all her husbands good qualltles
are due to her influence.
Rather than not get into 1t at all
woman is willing to get the snort eno
of an argument.
When a woman is talking she dis
likes to be interrupted as much as a
man does when he is eating.
When a man quits turning around
to look at a pretty girl he is OLD
enough to give the the undertaken
job. T. 4o,,,

WILL HELP FARMERS.
Edison Predicts That Nitrogen Will
Come From Air.

Thos A. Edison predicts that be-
fore long science would enable the
farmer to enrich his lands by means
Of nitrogen from the air.
''The element necessary for max
ing land fertile" he said, "is nitro
gen, which exists in almost ineXhaus-
tible quantities in the atmosphere.
Until recently, however, the utiliZa-
ton of atmospheric nitrogen was re-
garded as merely laboratory de-
monstration. Business men said it
could never be obtained cheap
enough to sell to the farmer as fer
tilizer.
But the day is just about to dawn
when the air will be made to give its
nitrogen to the earth, and make it
yield more abundant harvest and
fatter herds of cattle. In Norway a
plant has been established which has
been conducted with such good re-
suits that 1 expected to see atmos-
phere fertilizer on the market IN this
country within the next ten years.
THAT such product will soon be
imperatively necessary there is no
doubt. Every SnlpIOdQ ol "uedI dIIo
corn which goes abroad leaves the
United States so much poorer, not IN
gold, but in nitrogen.
Sir William Groks, when he was
president of the British association
for the advancement of science,
prophesied that in another quarter
of a century the earth would be
drained of nitrogen to such a degree
that there would be famine in many
regions of the world. He may have
taken too discouraging view OF the
subject, but nevertheless his state
ment had true basis of fact.
At the present time the bulk of
the worlds supply of nitrogen comes
from the saltpeter beds of South
America. but these are being dug up
so fast it will not be long before they
will he exhausted
