TEIE COUNTY NEWS

1t is certainly gratifying to note how
muchthe Redpath-V awter Chautauqua
is doing for old Audubon county this
summer. 1t has both heightened and
strengthened its program and added
many new features of special value to
the farmers who no doubt will appre-
ciate the efforts made in their behalf.
Russell Shelley rode his wheel from
Stuart to Hamlin last week Sunday,
driving the machine thirty miles in
thesafternOOn. Then the weather man
dOped up the roads and Russell was
stranded at the Morey home, but he
did not fret; he tarried with good COM
pany until the clouds rolled by, and
then flew for home.
THE INDESTRUCTIBLE
Is this the world of yesterday?
Is this the place we sat and talked?
Is this the place she said to me
Il love you," as we slowly walked
Along the murmuring woodland stream
When summer skies we're calm and blue
Our souls we're tangled in a dream
But all, it never, it never came true.
This world is but a lonely stretch
Since she Is gone-and |, poor |,
A broken-hearted wandering wretch
Watching the dreary years limp by.
Yes, we are told that we shall meet
Beyond the grave, and then she will,
Where life is happy and complete,
Look up and say 81 love you still"

MINING ENGINEERS
 DISCUSS PANAMA CANAL

New Haven. Conn. Feb. 24.-Earnest advocates of the Gatun dam to confine the waters of the Chagres river at Panama were found among the mem bers of the American Institute of Min Ing Engineers during their discussion of the Panama Canal upon resuming the sessions of the ninety sixth meet ing.
 The opposition to the lock type was led by Henry c. Granger, of Cartenaga, Colombia, who made a sharp attack up on the report made a few days ago by the engineers who went to Panama with Judge Taft to look over the work.
 He summed up his attitude in these words:
 If the engineers had to go. it is un- fortunate that their nominator did not pa ss through the once of the Chicago drainage canal and go to the camps of contractors who had to use their brains to save money by new methods and devices"
