LOCOMOTIVE MADE OVER ID FIRE

CELIA VALLEY RAILROAD WILL, PAY ATTENTION TO FIRE
 PROTECTION.
OTHER IMPROVEMENT IN YARD
WORK ON LAvAToRY AND LuM. BER SHED DELAYED BY NON.
 ARRIVAL oF MATERIAL.

For the purpose of better fire protec, ton througnout the yards, the G;Ia Val. ley railroad is fitting up one of it's locomotives, now being overhauled. With special force pump.
 Switch engine No. 43O, which has been on duty in the local yards, will be the new fire engine. This locomo- tive IS now being thorough overhau. ing and it was thought best by the off, ciais to have the fire fighting appliances installed during the process of the work.
 The pump will be duplex standard, double thlow, capable of throwing a stream about fifty feet, from the nozzle of the two and half inch hose. r The water tank on the tender holds 45O0 gallons of water. As a plentiful supply of hose will be carried on the englne, much good work can be accom-. plished in checking fires which may start within the confines of the yard or along the tracks within a reasonable distance of the city.
 When the locomotive is ready for use again, it will'be kept in comparative readiness at all times, for use not only as switch engine, but fire engine as we'll

When the Idol
Spoke
By E. nj. BIRELY
Copyright, 1909. by Daily Story Pub. Coz

Somewhere in far-away South Seas
! lies the tropic island of Dong. On
the map it is merely a nameless speck,
so unimportant that no nation has
ever taken the trouble to plant her flag
upon it's palm fringed shores. Yet, in
spite of it's diminutive size and lack
of Importance, it is famous in the out
| landish sort of South-Sea fame.
No missionary has ever gained foot
hold on it's barbarous shores and few
traders have ever tarried in it's little
coral locked bays. For its people are
not commercial people. They prefer
the quiet calm of rest beneath the
sheltering palms to the hum and buzz
of industry Neither do they tolerate
heresy nor listen to the words of the
pious missionary. Indeed why should
| they? Have they not an idol whose
name and fame is known throughout
all the barbaric South Seas? Even at
Hongkong one finds half-castes who
tell strange tales of the wonderful
idol on the island of Dong; how in
times long since passed the idol has
spoken wise words unto his people;
how he has stood naughty in his gran
deur through hurricane and typhoon
since beyond the memory of man;
how through love for them, they have
lived unbothered by the ever-moving,
tiresome white man and his big ships.
This much one might hear at Hong
kong. If he took passage in some
dirty trader that makes its uncertain
course far from the travelled ways of
commerce he might hear more of the
vague traditions and tales of this most
remarkable idol.

of the trees by day, and strolled in
luxuriant ease by night. Only those
moved who had to. Matsu Sam had
to. He was soldier; nay, even more,
one of the faithful, body-guard to his
highness, the king, Kong Hi Nasu
Gumbo. 1t was his honorable duty to
guard his majesty and carry quieting
drinks to quench the royal thirst, and
even more important it was his sacred
duty to see that Bong, the idol, was
cared for; to see that the young py-
thons did not coil around his revered
feet and desecrate his splendid idol
beauty.
This particular morning MatSu Sam
was in a hurry. Having performed his
sacred rites and regal duties, he would
be off duty and might rest and drink
the quieting wine and dream the pleas
ant dreams of a South Sea Islander.
He must hurry or the scorching sun
would catch him at his work. Woe to
any pythons who made resting place
of the feet of Bong, the mighty, this
day
AS he approached the idol, Matsu
Sam bowed low in humble reverence.
Then he stood as though turned to
stone by what he heard. The idol
cleared his throat and began to speak
slowly and distinctly in the strange
heather jargon of that land. He said:
1T is /, Bong, the descendant Of the
sun, the cousin of the moon, the fallen
star, who speaks. Hear me, Matsu
Sam, and remember what l say and
forget nothing under penalty Of the
awful death"
Matsu Sans knees were striking to-
gether so violently by this time that
he sunk down on all tours and as
sumed q pose of abject devotion.
TELL your king" the voice contin-
ued, "to come before me at this time
two days hence. Let him not fail for
l shall speak to him words Of wis
DOM"
Then there was silence. Matsu Sam
finally pulled himself together and ran
to the palace of the king. A few min
utes later he was meekly enduring the
words of wrath of very sleepy ruler,
but the regal tongue was stilled when
the breathless messenger told the
wondrous story. The hing retired to
his faYorite palm tree to rack his
heather brain over this portentous
happening. After many hours of unac-
customed thought Gumbo decided that
Matsu Sam had been drinking too
much, or had gazed too long into the
evil eye Of the sacred shark which
was kept in the basin near where the
idol stood. Having arrived at this con.

Great Author Sensible.

In an age of so much curiosity con-
corning the intimate affairs in the life
of a writer it has been considered re-
markable that Blackmore has not been
more the subject of biography, partic-
ularly in view of the fact that Lorna
Doone, familiar in 80 many forms and
only recently exhausting its latest edt-
ton, has been a classic from the first.
The following extract from one OF
Blackmore's letters written to a friend
and attached to his will may explain
the attitude of the author and OF his
associates in this matter: 1T is so
much the fashion now to write the
lives of people of very small impor-
lance or interest that some one may
even want to do that of me. Forbid 1t
and refuse to have anything to do
with such trumpery attempt to make
money"

Just returned from long trip among

rubies and emeralds for very poor

Destroying Locusts.

The method OF exterminating To-
Gusts most generally adopted in Pan
anna has been to dig a trench about
fifty feet in length, two feet wide and
one foot deep, with perpendicular
sides, in which the locusts are driven
by men beating the grass and trees
with switches. In this way millions
are collected and are destroyed with a
solution of strong I've soapsuds. The
trench is then refilled with earth so as
to allay the odOr.
