home.
The following appeared in Mon
days st. Louis papers, telegraph
ed from Bismarck: "The new de-
velopments at Iron Mountain are
surprising the expectations of
those connected with the extensive
prospecting and developing in pro-
gress there now. Underground di-
almond drills have located depos-
its of pure iron ore thirty eight
feet thick in four different places.
Extensive modern machinery is
being installed. Ten cars of high
grade ore is now shipped daily
and by March they expect to ship
two trainloads daily. The old acc
tivity of Iron Mountain will soon
be renewed with vigor, as experts
declare these new finds ,are more
extensive and finer quality than
the iron formerly mined there" 1t
is certainly to be hoped that this
report is true, as it would add ma
terially to our prosperity,
One day last week while Chester
Handy was in town his dwelling
house and all its contents, on his
farm in the Ozark neighborhood,
was completely destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Handy had gone about a
quarter of a mile for a bucket of
water and had left the three child
rem. a boy aged five a girl aged
three and a baby at the house.
After she had been gone for some
time the older children noticed
that the house was all ablaze.
They ran out side and called for
their mother but she did not hear
them and so did not answer. The
boy then thought of his little baby
sister; running into the burning
house, he picked her up and tried
to carry her to safety; but to no
avail-she was too heavy. Then,
as a second thought he placed her
on the floor, grabbing her by her
clothing and dragged her to safety
in the yard. The mother returned
with the water just as the roof fell
in and the little boy came out
with the little sister WILLOW

Myrtle Paul, daughter of w. A.
Paul, who was for so many years
engineer on the Arcadia accom-
mediation train, is we'll known
in the valley. The following
romantic story is reproduced from
the Elvins Labor Herald: "Mrs.
Myrtle Carey nee Paul spent a
portion of last week in Elvins bid
ding farewell to a number of her
Lead Belt friends. On Friday she
left for Sandrafel, California,
where she will remarry her former
husband, G 7. Carey, from whom
she obtained a divorce in the cir
cult court at Pennington about
two years ago. Miss Paul first met
Mr.. Carey, then a dashing and
handsome yonng soldier, at Ar
cadia, Missouri, at a time when
his regiment was practicing at the
rifle ranges at that place. Shortly
after this first meeting the young
soldiers term of enlistment ex-
PRED and he returned to his former
home in California. After his re-
turn he correspondent regularly
with Miss Paul, and through this
agency the friendship begun in the
beautiful Arcadia Valley ripened
into love and one year later he re-
turned to Missouri and claimed
, her as his bride. The wedding
, took place at the residence OF the
brides parents, VIM. Paul and
wife of Bismarck, Rev. Father
Toomey officiating. 1t was a most
elaborate affair and was attended
by more than $50 admiring friends
of the beautiful and accomplished
young bride. After the ceremony
} Mr.. and Mrs. Carey Immediately
left for California. A year later
their home was blessed by a visit
from the stork who presented them
with a little daughter. Shortly
: after this momentous event the
; proud young mother, in response

fond and anxious grandparents Of
! the little one in faraway Missouri,
! decided to return for a short visit.
1t had been arranged that the

: and possibly locate in Missouri.
, For a time after her arrival at the
: home of her parents, Mrs. Carey
received weekly letters from the

: his letters became less frequent
and in tone strangely unlike the
man who had sworn to love, honor

altogether. Mrs. Carey was a

t conduct, and not until the recon.

ago did she learn that it was the
i woman with the serpent's tongue
i goaded on by that green eyec
: monster, jealousy, that had caused
a break in the chain Of love tina
had bound two fond hearts. Mrs
t Carey had considered this woman
t one of the dearest and trues
friends among her acquaintances
ia California, and she kept up {

little thinking that the friand whom
she trusted so implicitly would DE-
her the great injustice which late,
developments proved. 1t seems
