gravel to stop the flow of water.
Loose piling will first be driven across
the break in two rows, and on this an i'm

whole forming bridge across the break.
On the bridge a track will be laid and
a hand tram car will be used to carry

Good Luck to Herald

B. Desenberg manager the Central de.

II certainly believe in non-partisan news
papers, and L am glad to see The Herald
purposes to take this stand in local af-
fairs. In my opinion a newspaper should
make as hard fight nationally for its
ticket as 1t pleases, but in local politics it
should know no Democrat and no Repub-
lcan.

MAKES SWEEPING DENIAL
Standard Oil Company Files Answer
to Injunction Proceedings
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Attorneys for the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey and
it's seventy subsidiary corporations,
against which the government has insti-
tuted injunction proceedings, filed an an
swer in the United States circuit court
today to the portion of the complaints in
the original bill to which the defendants
have made exception.
The answer specifically denies each and
every allegation of the government that
the Standard Oil company, its subsidiary
corporations and the individual defend
ants have formed any conspiracy or COM
bination in restraint of trade.
The filing of this answer is the last
formality in court prior to the taking of
testimony in the case.

TOXIC NOT
INTERESTED
DISCREDITS ARREST OF
FORT SKETCHER
THINKS FRIENDLY RELATIONS
TOO DEEPLY ROOTED
Korean Question Worries Government
and Suppression of Intrisues
Is Uppermost in Its
Mind

By Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 15.-The news of the ar
rest in America of a Japanese officer in
the act of sketchng Fort Rosecrans,
which is totally discredited here and
would ordinarily have invited angry COM
mentsi against the source of information,
Is quietly left without editorial comment
in the leading Japanese papers.
The explanation of this attitude may be
sought in the fact that, despite the war
talk which is being transmitted here from
America the impression continues to pre-
vail that the friendly relations existing
between the United States and Japan are
too deep rooted to be destroyed by any
anti-Japanese sentiment, which, however
loudly voiced, is known to be limited to
a small section.
The presence in the United States of
Admiral Yamamoto at this time is con-
sidered to be most kindly, and the cor
dial reception accorded him by President
Roosevelt is profoundly appreciated as
forecasting a satisfactory solution of the
labor question.
Busy with Korea
Moreover, the Korean question is now
claiming the foremost attention, almost
to the exclusion of all other topics.
The press, however, is generally re-
framing from any suggestions In def
mite form, and even the opposition pa
pers are withholding concrete express
sions and opinions.
1t may safely be said the whole nation
is confidently trusting Marquis Ito and
Foreign Minister Hayashi to deal with
Korea In such a manner as to extermi-
nate the last element of hostile intrigues
against Japan, with the full support of
the powers.
In this connection the fact is recalled
with appreciation that when the protec-
torate over Korea was signed the United
States was the first to notify Toxic of the
withdrawal of it's legation from Seoul.

ROMANCE or A NAME.
Hugh Williams and a Remarkable
Series Of Condolences.


Names have figured frequently in CO.
medicines. one Of the most remarkable
cases being that recorded of series OF
men named Hugh Williams, whose es-
capes from shipwreck are recorded by
an English chronicler.
On Dec. o, 1904, according to this au-
thorlty. the English ship Menia was
crossing the strait of Dover and cap
sized in gale. or the eighty-one pas
sengers on board one was saved. His
name was Hugh Williams.
. On the same day of the same month
in 1856 pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle Of Man. There were sixty
persons on the boat, among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. or the
threescore none but OH Hugh Williams
survived the shock.
On Aug. 8. 1920, picnicking party
on the Thames was run down by n
coal barge. There were twenty-five Of
the plcnickers, mostly children under
twelve years of age. Little Hugh Will
liams, a visitor from Liverpool, only
five years old, was the only one who
was saved.
Now comes the most singular part of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1889, a
coal laden craft, with nine men, foun-
dered in the North sea. Two Of the
men, each of whom was named Hugh
Williams, an uncle and nephew, were
rescued by some fishermen and were
the only men of the crew, who lived to
tell of the calamity.-Scrap Book.

Perry-sennIngton Farmers Club.

The first afternoon session of the
Perry-Bennington Farmers Club,
was held at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Horton, May 3. Some
were absent from press of work, but a
goodly number were present and very
pleasant and profitable time was spent
by all.
The Club opened at 2:8O bv singing.
Rev. Martin offered prayer. The us
ual order of business was transacted
and the following program carried out:
What do you think of the U. S.
Treasury coming to Wall Streets re-
lief9" H. Beckley gave quite lengthy
talk in which Sec Cortelyous way OF
handling Uncle Sans money was de.
nounced in emphatic terms.
Mrs. L. Clark gave vocal solo,
which was heartily applauded
Your opinion of the prison binder
Irvine factory" VIM. Cooper favored
the prospect, and said the convicts
were better employed than idle, and
thinks it would help the state, especially
the farmers. Rev. Martin said prison
ers were placed there for punishment
and the punishment would be more
severe if they were not employed, and
because the state could make it profit
able was hardly advisable to do so.
Quite a lively discussion followed in
which the majority agreed in keeping
the convicts employed, and favored the
binder Irvine factory. Mr.. Wing said
the proposition was laid on the shelf in
Senate and prospects were not very
promising for the enterprise at present,
and if our representatives betrayed the
tvust of the people they would be re-
minded at the next election.
docs an agriculture course at the
NJ. A. G. pay, and is it of practical
value to the farmers SOM" Rev. Dallas
gave a very interesting talk, saying
that boy who takes an agriculture
course at the M. A. G. has the advant
age in every way over the boy who
farms from observation or as father did.
The question box brought out the
usual discussion and interest, and COM
pleted the program.
The June meeting will be held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Morrice.
The Club then sat down to a three
course dinner, one course being biscuit
and maple syrup. All voted Mr.. and
Mrs. Horton tip top entertainers.
The following program for June will
be carried out:
