QUIETNEss AMID STORM.

Far beneath the noisy waters
Of the raging, tossing sea,
1t is said there flows q current,
Smooth and placid as can be.
No rough waves disturb the flowing
Of that calm and peaceful stream;
All the noise Of tempest raging
Lies as distant as q dream.
So. to all who listen truly
For the Saviour's loving voice,
Comes that @peace that passeth knowt

And the soul can cen rejoice
When the storm Of life is keenest;
For, beneath the tempest wild
Is the Quiet, firm assurance
That the Lord protects His child.
Rest, then, soul, for God gives quiet
To the heart that trusts His VIII;
-! will never never leave thee,
Is the promise-then, be Still.

Controlling Our Right Purposes.

Souls need controlling as surely as.

ruled by conscience and Judgment.
Good feelings, like good horses, have
run away with a man and landed him
in a ditch. Jesus taught the impul-
sive Peter that lesson, when, first
being unwilling to be washed at all,
Peter then wanted in the inspiration
of a new situation to be washed tea

Newton Lumber Co. Puts in Plancr-
Will Build Big Shed.

The Newton Lumber Co., recent
~ organized to take over the busi-
ness of J. w. and p. l.. Newton,
has installed a planning machine
and are now supplying the local
market with dressed dimension
and inch lumber. The new innov-
alton will mean an increased de-
mand for native lumber as it will
be possible to use it to greater
extent than heretofore, the big saw
ing in price in using native lumber
being a great factor in it's favor.
II. 0. Britton, manager of the
company, informs The Record man
that work on their new lumber shed
will commence in a few days and
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The building will be 1Sx14O feet in
size, and will be located on their

There will be no registration until
the general election in 1910. and as
it would be useless to vote the
question more than once with the
same bunch of voters unless there
was change in sentiment, the city
would be without local government
for nearly two years. During this
line individual Improvements
would, of course. still be gong on,
new enterprises would be launched
and the population, perh a p 5,
doubled, while improvements Of a
public nature would be at a stand
still. Such state of affairs would
not look we'll for Roundup.
The polls will be open tomorrow
from 8 o'clock q. m. until 6 o'clock

printed For Incorporation and
Against Incorporation" Every
loyal citizen will turn out and vote
for incorporation which will mean

Dave Loney Sells Popular Hotel

Davies.

A deal was made last week where
by A. II. Davies became owner OF
the European Hotel and pool Hall
formerly conducted by David Loney
the change taking place Friday.
The new landlord has entirely re-
furnished the rooms putting in some
swell furniture, and will cater only
the best trancient trade. Having
been station agent at this place
until several months ago, he has be-
come acquainted with large num-
ber of the travelling fraternity with
whom he was decidedly popular,
and this fact will no doubt 60 far
in insuring him success in his new
venture.
Mr.. Davies has also made a num-
Der of improvements in the pool
hall which is run in connection
with the hotel, it being his inten-
ton to conduct this recreation

strictly first class manner.

their embarking in..business here. as
this means that they will continue

Roundup's lot sale was not by
public auction. Neither was the
opening Of the sale advertised to
any great extent. In fact practic-
ally only those who had already To-
Gated here knew anything about
such an event coming off. Yet on
the 18th and 18th of March, 1908,
about 9o lots were sold amounting
approximately to $25, 900.
Those who have been here since
the towEsitc was first thrown on
the market have witnessed a great
transformation, and indications at
the present point that the changes
in the next twelve months will be
equally as great.
