II Good Investment.

The crematory is a success. This is
the unanimous verdict of those who
witnessed the test of the plant yesteT-
day. when many tons of garbage was
consumed without the least odor, and
at a comparatively small cost.
Crematories are successfully oper-
ated in other cities, and there has
never been any good reason why this
one should not work. The Local plant
is said to be of the best and most ap'
proved type, hence there will be gen
eral rejoicing that all minor defects
have been successfully repaired by the
contractors.
Anything that will add to the san
itation of the city must necessarily
prove good Investment in the end.
The work of the crematory yesterda!
amply attests the efficiency of th'
plant, and it is sincerely to be hope;
that it will henceforth perform SAT
isfactorily the functions for which
it was intended.

After certain period of time had

pulled into the station, Monty was
under close guard to prevent his
wandering away. The surprise, as
