PAPERS

The Leisure Hour Club met last
r'&Mt in spite Of the wet weather
and heard two papers, one the travel
paper, assigned to Mrs. Jack Doanc,
was given by Mrs. Bessie Lewis; the
other by Mr.. Hal Mighels.
The first was on Persia, where the
two young folks who are journeying
around the world became engaged at
last. Mrs. Ellis left them on a ship
in a hurricane and Jack performed SO
we'll that Phyllis could not stand out
any longer. Mrs. Gray said bless
you my children.' or words to that
effect, and Persia was described in
ample form. The party left off al
Batoum, on the Black Sea. bound for
the Holy Land.
Mr. Mighels' paper, on "OccuItism
in Thibct' was exhaustive and we'll

brrs were present but all enjoyed
both papers and discussion, as usll-

On the incomes now enjoyed by
the private corporations that handle
these public utilities, the bonds can
be retired in ten years or less and
taxes will be reduced materially by
the additional revenue to the city
and county from the operation OF
these utilities.
The idea is being discussed in
general way and the Promotion AS
sociation will take it up in due time
and see what can be done in the

HIS SIDE

The following is from City Engi,
neer Pratt in regard to the flood
waters in the streets and inadcQuacy
of certain culvcrts put in last sum-

The engineer says he made a seri-
Gus mistake in one of them but that
the others are all up to requirements
City Marshal COWing worked like a
beaver all day Yesterday with his
conditions north of the railroad track
and to do 50 dug out trench across
Carson street.
Mr. Pratt says:
Carson is up against serious
problem of caring for water during
the fresshets and water spOuts that
may come at any season Of the year
and without any warning.
Two years ago last Spring, every
ditch and culvert in the town was
taxed to its full capacity and many
Of them were ovcrtloWing. Last week
four days continuous rain put every
thing to the danger point again, and
night before last it began raining
about II O'Clock with strong south
west wind. BY morning about eight
inches OF snow that was ON the
ground had disappeared and in its
place. daylight showed torrents of
water pouring down upon us from
the mountains west of the city.
The northern portion of the town
seemed to escape entirely; but from
Johns ST.. to the railroad was an
ocean of water ice and debris.

Johns street and tie Rarklry block

Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
tons has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength Of
family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
school. For athletes, laborers, 1t is
the best food. One of the attractive
features of Quaker Oats is the perfect
way it is packed. Besides the regular
size package there is the large size
family package. 10

Embarrassing.

Not only the houses of the Mex
leans, but whatever you admire is
yours. If you express a sentiment
of appreciation of anything, the own
er at once says: "Senor, it is yours"
but he simply intends something fiat
tering, and you are therefore not ex-
pected to accept anything that is Of
fered to you. An amusing story is
told of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng
lish ambassador, which illustrates how
this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
gallant old bachelor, was prom
enading with some ladies in the park,
when he met a nurse girl with a
bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child 1t was. "Senor,
it is your own" replied the nurse, with
a courtesy. Sir Spencer has never in
CURED as to the parentage of pretty
children since.

men, who were outside the mine when

the list Of the known dead by rushing

After every effort to extinguish the
flames had proven futile, the shaft Of
the burning mine was scaled. This
