Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap. The kind of
shingles you put on your roof will
determine the kind of a roof you
will have. If you want a good
roof use to 2 Clear Red Cedar
Shingles. 5 to2 means that the
butts of 8 of these shingles will
measure 2 inches. These shingles
are clear and free from sap and
knots and all defects. A 9 to 2
Extra Red Cedar shingle has some
sap and knots and other defects
and 1t takes the butts of 6 of them
to measure 2 inches in thickness.

MISSOURI VS.. MEXICO
Mr.. J. s. MoCIeary's Opinion of
Mexican Lands Being Handled by
Kansas City Company

j. s. McCleary, surveyor and
civil engineer, of Montgomery,
Mo-, has given the following river
view for publication. l have just
returned from a trip through the
Republic of Mexico, where had
a contract for the surveying of a
large tract of land in the Territory
of Topic, near the Pacific coast for
the Foster Holcomb Mexican
Colonization Company of Kansas
City, Mo. took force Of Ave
men with me to assist in the
work and consequently l required
and received an advancement of
$1,000, and l now stand ready to
complete the contract " when paJ
ment is assured. The literature
scattered broadcast by this COM
pany represented the tract as a
fine agriculture proposition. We
reached this land in seven days
after leaving the Railroad at San
Marcos. From San Marcos to
Topic we travelled three days in
coaches over roads too steep and
rough for description. From the
City of Tepic the only way to
reach the land is on little mount
ain mules and in this way we
travelled for four days more
and imagine our sur
prise and disappointment when
instead of rolling prairies and
fertile valleys all beheld, rocks
mountains, gulches and chasms, a
tract of land wholly unit for culti-
walton. Some of our friends had
bought some of this land and
made cash payment of $50 per
acre. was informed by James
B. Foster, Vice President and
General Manager of the land Co.,
who was with US that more than
80, 600 acres had been sold. From
him and from tho other members
of his Company in Kansas City
| / learned that he was the only
member of the firm, who had ever
been in Mexico, or seen the tract
of land, that, he alone engineered
the deal with some parties in the
city Of Mexico. From all that ]
know, believe his partners in
Kansas City are guiatless Of any
Intentional wfong doing. Mexico
has some good agricultural lands
chiefly in the valley and along
the sea coast, a great deal of which
is too low and hot to be healthful
and also a vast area of arid land
and mountains and volcanic re.
gions, come of which may be
good grazing lands but valuable
chiefly on account of minerals
and l would advise all Americans
seeking homes or investments in
enterprises exploited in the Re-
pu bile of Mexico to make mos,
thorough investigation before
they part with their money. In
my judgement every acre of land
over which we travelled in the
United States in going to Mexico
and especially in Missouri is fal
better than you will fnd ir
| Mexico.

Solomon asked for wisdom.
Let us be wise as possible. The
difference between a 8 to 2 Extra
Red Cedar shingle and a 5 to 2
Clear Red Cedar shingle is that an
Extra Red Cedar shingle is not as
good as to 2 Clear Red Cedar,
and not as thick. The LACROSSE
LUMBER Co. will be glad to have
your order for either kind.

MAN DIES OF HYDROPHOBIA.
THOUGH HE COMMENDED TO
THE LAST THAT MALADY WAS
PURELY IMAGINARY.

New York, Aug. 15.-Although
Conrad Steingrueber laughed at the
Christ hospital physicians in Jersey
City who said that he would die in
"a hours from the effects Of bite
Of dog, the prophecy was fulfilled
today.
Steingrueber said he was disbe-
lever in hydrophobia and that he
would be around again in a few
days. He remained conscious until
the end and almost the last words
he spoke were that he would get
we'll.
Steingrueber was bitten by dog
three Weeks ago. but paid no atten-
ton to the bite and when warned by
his wife that he might develop
rabies he merely laughed at her
SAYING hydrophobia had no terrnr'
for him. On Monday last he began
to show signs of hydrophobia and
consulted nhvsician. On Wednes-
day he called at the hospital and
when offered glass OF water he was
taken with spasm. From that
time until he died his suherings
were intense.

1RICKED OUT
OF THEIR BOOTY
SPOKANE MAIL ROBBERS GOT
LITTLE PLUMBER OWING TO
FACT THAT MAIL CLERKS HID
REGISTERED PACKAGES.

Spokane, Aug 15..-Tricked by
the quick wit of mail clerks, little
plumber is believed to have been
captured by the two masked men
who held up the Northern Pacific
westbound passenger just east OF
Spokane last night. Warned that
the robbers were coming, the clerks
took advantage Of the time after
the train was cut in two to throw
the local registered packages into
the newspaper sack, where they
were unnoticed.
So far as reported. the only
bootf stolen was pouch of register
ec mail sent from Chicago to Spo-
kane and one for Seattle, made UP
along the road. Neither is known
to have carried packages OF great
value.
Search for the robbers continues
1t is believed they hurried into the
city when they left the engine and
cars at Yardley, on the outskirts
One suspect captured on top of the
train after the robbery gave his
name as Frank Snyder. He may
prove to be a plain hobo stealing a
ride.
