 1 It must not be inferred from the | closing of the i'll here that every
 thing has gone to crash, and that the Ray company will discontinue work. As matter of fact, it will mark the beginning of bigger and better things | in every way All the old employees | of the company that can be used will | be retained.
 | The Ray company's railroad grade 1 has been completed from the r. & F. | depot to the heart of town and beyond. | There were several very heavy fills in | this piece of work, making it appear
 that the work was progressing slowly, | but such was not the case. as a great many thousand yards of dirt were moved before it made any showing at ali
 The main street, which was original | ly sloping toward Mineral Greek. is | being nlowed up and leveled, and the | superfluous dirt is hauled to the large ] fill north of town There is no doubt that when the grading outfit is
 through, Kelvin will have a main street to he proud of. but in the mean | time will have to put up with a little | dust for few days.
 We have d great many available young men for the water wagon, but
 we are minus the wagon. According to the time hOnorcd say ing "straws will tell which way the wind blows" Kelvin should have the 1910 latest model water wagon at a very early date. MT McGee, the pro prietor of the Southern hotel. has found it imperative to work overtime with the sprinkler. as the grade runs within a few feet of that well known | hostelry.

He has a nice fresh line of staple and fancy groceries. dry goods. notions. cigars, tobacco and soda wa | ter. to say nothing of a splendid pho | nograph with which he entertains a large crowd every evening with all the latest songs and music. Another carload of horses was re- | ceived Thursday by the Ray company | for the Ray-Kelvin railroad and will ! be put 10 work immediately The | main offices of the Ray company have been rendered much cooler by large
 ventilators, as has also the staff house
 on Knob hill.

 couple of lots next door. where as soon as possible a church will be built MT. and Mrs. Mckay have hardly | had an idle moment since their arrival ! here. One of the first things they did
 was to get up d social last Friday | evening, where refreshments were | served in the way of watermelons and | lemonade. The evening was very | pleasantly spent
 Mir. McKav is a hard conscientious
 worker. already taking an active part | in prayer meetings and Christian En- | deavor work.
 C. l.. Cory of San Francisco. one of | the Ray company's consulting engi- neers, was in Kelvin last week in the | interest of the company $. R.
