he can not remain forever idle. and the

a frst-class round the island auto-rail

George Osborn has been reading the
account of the Ford Leckenby walk on

with the statement that he would like

there was a possibility of the auto
making expenses.

tires, capable of making twelve miles
an hour over bad roads can be run at
cost, including all expenses, of five
dollars day, the success of such an
enterprise seems assured As the Os-
born motor bus would have freight
space for two and half tons, a ser.

be built up on the outward trip, and

turn, while doubtless a rate on rice

to begin work for some time, however,
but still hope to dedicate our new

looks fresh again.
''Our new official, Mr. Sigwanz, ar
rived some weeks ago, and has made
some new regulations already. Among
others the natives must pub down their
old houses and rebuild them higher
with platforms in them for sleeping
purposes. This is for us welcome
order, as we lave been working for
this for years past. The people live
worse than our animals at home, es-
pecially in the rainy season. This is
one of the causes why we have so
much asthma and dysentery. The peo-
pie, with but a single mat beneath
them, slept on the ground. How often
we had told them to make themselves
platforms about two or three feet from
the ground so as not to be exposed

the many friends who remembered us
with seeds. plants and soil when the

May. Many of these things have
been planted and we hope for
very good results. We mixed the Ho-

started a vegetable garden with it.

planted in boxes and will replant them
