It was the most beautiful August that
1 remembered. The air was clear as q
bell, and day after day the sun rose on
q TRANQUIL world and smiled at it for
10y. Every morning at breakfast l would
say to Charles, did you ever know
such weather. CharIes?" and he would
answer mo, sir, | never did, sir" and
every evening at supper | would say, at

MAY SHUT DOWN LID.
Newly Elected Mayor of GAINESVILLE Said
to Favor Strict Enforcement of
Liquor Laws.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, April 9.-[Spe-
cial Whether GAINESVILLE is to be o
tight town in the future remains to be
seen. Wilbur F. Carlo, the newly elect
ed mayor has stated that his platform
will be obedience of the law This may
be taken to mean that all will be tight
after he takes office and it may mean
that he will be lenient. The saloon inter
ests who bitterly opposed him at the cleo
ton are most anxious to learn his inten-
tons, but from the fact that he was en-
dorsed by the anti-saloon element leads
the liquor men to fear a stringent en-
forcement of the law. Mr.. earle has
given no hint as to what he intends but
It is probable GAINESVILLE will be a dry
town outside of the regular hours and
on Sunday.

Stoughton "Drys" Refuse to Trade with
Merchants Who Supported
License Movement.

STOUGHTON, Wis, April 9.-[Spe-
cial IA boycott of several of the lead
ing stores in the city has been threat
ened by a number of leaders in the
movement to keep the city permanently

ceding the annual spring election held
this week, the proprietors Of the larg-
est stores in the city, together with a
large majority of the smaller establish
ments, issued a petition declaring them
selves in favor of license. This action
brought on a storm Of abuse by the
members of the Anti-Saloon league, with
the result that number of it's members
at once ceased trading with the So
called offending merchants. Since the
election and the city was voted dry, there
is considerable talk of taking the threat
ened boycotters into court.

SAY NORTH COAST ROAD
IS A HARTMAN PROJECT

Portland, Or, March 22.-The Ore
gonian says: The mysterious North
Coast road that has SO long been an
enigma in the Northwest railroad stu
alton, is believed to have been con-
nected up with the o. R. & N. The
North Coast has up to this time re-
manned, an unguessed riddle, but now
it is thought the Hartman Interests
have been behind the project from its
inception, and that the railroad will
invade the Hill territory in Eastern
Washington for the purpose of divert
ing traffic to the o. r. & N. and Union
Pacific that would otherwise be hauled
over the Northern Pacific or Great
Northern.
The building of the big bridge across
the Columbia near Kennewick has sp
parently let the cat out of the bag. IL
is now believed that the time for Sc
crecy has about passed and that soon
there will be an official announcement
verifying the report.

TAKING THIRTEENTH CENSUS

Washington, March 2O.-The first
piece of legislation to be acted upon
by the house during the extra session
was the bill providing for the taking
of the thirteenth census, which was

the printing of the reports by the gov
eminent printing office. AS enacted
at the last session the bill stripped the
civil service commission of such au-
thority an there was a provision al

by private firms. President Roose-

State Forestry Building

the time set in the contract for the
completion of the building During the
past week the last of the huge fir logs
which compose the mighty colonnade
was set in place and the derricks re-
moved. Work on the building is
ahead of time and all the material
needed for its completion is on the
ground.
The forestry building is one of the
seven structures built by the state
which will become the property of the
University of Washington when the ex-
position closes. The building is like a
Greek temple done in rustic, with fir
logs from five to six feet in diameter
and from forty to fifty feet in length
for pillars. At close range the series
OF columns look like forest of pigan-
tic trees.
Each massive pillar, the weight Of
which is $4,000 pounds, is supported
by concrete pier. Each pier is ca

and the general construction of tn

building is such that it should stand
for century. In the 5000, 900 feet
OF lumber used in the structure there
are no planed surfaces. The outside
pillars have their tough bark as thew
came from the forest, while the logs
that are placed in the inner columns
have been stripped
The front of the building is 800 feet
in length. It consists of two pavilions
and curved colonnade. Forty feet
above the ground, rustic balcony has
been built where visitors may have an
excellent view of the exposition
grounds. At each end of the building
log towers will be connected by stair
ways with the balcony.
The fir logs used in the building
were selected for their symmetry and
soundness. To get them to the build
ing site, it was necessary to build q
spur track from the Northern Pacific
to the back door of the structure. It
required two fat cars to carry one of
the huge 54-foot logs.
The exhibit to be placed in the
building will show the various stages
OF the manufacture Of lumber from
the rough log to the finished product,
