property which we purchased last year from Mr.. w. M. Prince
at Edmonton.
They found the property exceedingly we'll located and
most certainly situated i'll the direct line of growth which has
been and is truly phenomenal. Swift, of Chicago, is building
an immense packing house four blocks east of the property; the
! City Park is located directly south, new buildings are being
+ erected all around the subdivision, and a large store building is
) going up just north and east. Properties not as we'll located are
! selling at Edmonton from $500 per lot up. Water mains and
sewers are touching the property of Mount Lawn at present.
They have evidenced faith by purchasing more of the
!: property at the advanced price believing that a street car line
!: will shortly be built through the north and that we will soon be
: surrounded by great building activity, and that within eighteen
!: months every lot in the tract will double in value.

The task of hitting a devil fish
from a fourteen-foot boat was left
to the bachelor of the party, the
married member explaining that he
felt his duty to the ones at home
excluded him from anything that
smacked of suicide. Accordingly,
when near the next fish, the skiff
put out from the stern OF the Irene,
the spearman standing in the bow,
while the skipper stood the big boat
away so as to give the fish a clean
field at the first rush.
The plan developed perfectly
the throw was good. the fish half
filled the boat with his first splash,
and then rushed away in a great
swinging circle so that in fifteen
minutes 1t was possible for the sloop
to cut across and catch up; when.
by some maneuverlng, II became
possible to pass the ln-board end of
the line up to her bowsprit. After
exactly like being In tow of fair
sized tug. The progress of the boat
was not fast, but as steady az IL lt
were being driven by the Irene's
own engines.
II may fair to remark that kill

that 1t was a fight to a finish, with
the devil fish on one end of the line
and the ten-ton sloop on the other.
For long while Il seemed as
though the devil fish had the better
of II. He towed that big boat
steadily out into the gulf for three
hours and twenty minutes. II was
the Hrst opportunity for Salemites to
ling a devil fish entails as much
genuine muscle-racklng hard work
as any tack on earth. 1t Is much
the same as pulling for hours
against yoke of oxen who are NOV
ing of entirely Indifferent to ones
futile efforts. The devil fish will
not let simple towing tire him. If
left to himself. he will sound 10
bottom. and after resting proceed
on ad infinitum. II is to prevent
such resting that one must work
constantly by hauling the tow In
close TO him, thereby frightening
TO constant effort. II he can be
strained 10 the point of weakening,
then he may be hauled close enough
to harpoon again. William Todd In
