WAITER TANK
WITH HEATER
An Easily Constructed Concrete Tank
Which Eliminates the Necessity o!
Stock Drinking Ice Water.

STOCK Df1HkltS Ice SaitE.
In the long cold months OF winter
the farmer is often annoyed by the
outdoor water tank or trough freezing;
perhaps bursting same and at least
causing the stock TO drink water that
is nearly ice water, which cannot be
beneficial to them.
AS per illustration, this trouble can
be overcome with but slight expense
by the construction of a concrete tank

AS shown in the sectional view of
tank. the firebox is built under one end
and is connected at the chimney at the
other end with the flue or pipe run
ming the entire length Of the tank,
which distributes the hea evenly along
same and thus keeps the water at a
poinnt above freezing with but little
fire in the heater.
The heater being nodded with the
tank, is always ready for use ut any
time and car be employed whenever
needed.

Washington. Jan. 21.-After a heated
discussion, the national board of trade
at its concluding session today ap-
pointed the special committee to urge
the secretary of state to incorporate in
treaty about to be consummated with
England some provision for the protec-
tion of American patent rights. The
proposed appropriation of 5000, 900 for
this governments participation in the
Belgian exposition this year was en-
dorsed.
the board Vice President Fairbanks
! and Speaker Cannon both advocated
a careful revision of the tariff.

rational solution of this great ques-
ton" said Mr.. Fairbanks. "a tariff
which is revised without a thorough
consideration of the Industrial inter

Speaker Cannon said the party's s
politics meant a lot to the nation, -
and declared that "if we can succeed,
our revenue laws, according to the
best principles, we shall succeed in
substantially establishing the same
policy that has made the Republican
party solid.''

liberal with the quotation marks.
When you revise the revenue laws
production haltS because consumption
halts. Therefore I believe it unwise
to tinker with the tariff unless it can
not be avoided; but the time has
| come beginning next March. when I
trust we will be able to make a
prompt, efficient and honest revision" :"
After urging the business men to as
sist rather than hinder the work.
Mr. Cannon concluded:
Some people say the party will go
out of power as the consequence of
this revision. If So so be it. If you
make it in accordance with
American policies then will go out
of power, rather than make it con-
trary to American principles and stay

Abe Lee, who died in Park county a

best known characters in this section.
He was the first recorder of Lake
county.
The first prospecting party that en-
tered the gulch was under the leader
ship of Abe, and they had not been
very successful. They worked all the
way up the gulch from below Granite
without finding any values. and all Of
them were nearly blinded by the snow.
They were about ready to quit when
Lee suggested that they try another
pan. He dug down until he struck a
layer of cement, and below this the
gravel was softer. Lee, although suf-
ssring terribly from snow blindness,
