Marshall of the Cleveland national
forest has discovered an extensive
lake. 1t is extremely hazardous of
access, to the north and south of it
being unscalable spurs with no trails
near but al one point, in climbing a
canyon TO the summit, the water,
clear, sky blue and beautiful may be

This came before Marshall's eyes

lies much higher than Lake Tahoe.
Struggling over the ledge which hides
it, Marsall had a magnificent view.

Canal Long Ago Projected.

1t is now nearly 400 years since the
first proposal was made for the Pana-
ma canal A canal was suggested as
early as 1920 by Angel Saayedra,. but
for long time all such suggestions
met with determined opposition from
Spain. who made it capital offense
to seek or make known any improve
ment on the existing route from Porto
Bello to Panama. More recently
Louis Napoleon, when a prisoner at
Ham, spent much time considering
the practicability of such scheme. 1t
was not, however, until the California
gold rush of 1S49 that any accurate
knowledge of the typographical condi-
lions was obtained, and even then 30
more years elapsed before the actual
site was chosen by an internatioal
commission and the work begun.

Miss Hammel was postmistress Of
Wetmore for twelve years, being the
unanimous choice of the people for
that position when appointed. The
test of her worth to the community
was shown at her funeral, il being at

appreciation of the confidence repos-

building, the lot upon which it stands
and the entire postoffice equipment.

Use for Elastic Conscience.

Riggs and Briggs are two Montreal
citizens, more or less interested in
municipal affairs. They differ on sew
eral burning questions, but unite in
a strong dislike for O'Flaherty (which
is not the gentleman's name). The
same O'Flaherty has positive gift
for manipulating votes and is capable
of looking after larger band of the
faithful than any other Montreal
politician.
TITS men like O'Flaherty who give
this city a bad name" said Riggs
warmly. Hes got no principles at
all. In fact. he doesn't think of any
thing but getting his man in"
That's So" responded Briggs. "If
had a conscience as elastic as
O'Flahertys, I'd make it into a rubber
trust"

the match, the conditions of which

With Zbyszco on the defensive,
Gotch used up 20 minutes in working
for his famous toe hold When he
secured it the foreigner easily broke
it, Gotch gave up this effort and,
with the Pole hugging the mat for
most of the remaining time, tried
hard for a hammer-lock He got it
twice, but the big Pole broke il both
times. In the last minute Zbyszco
assumed the aggressive, but could
not get behind Gotch.
Zbyszo said: Il can beat this man
in a straight match"
Jack Herman, his manager, said:
Il will post $4,000 in Chicago for a
match with Gotch for $4,000 a side
We did not ask for a handicap in this
match. We simply called Gotch's
bluff"

President Taft in a recent
speech stated that he would rec
ommend to Congress a bond issue
Of $40, 100000 for the completion
Of certain irrigation projects to
reclaim arid lands in the West.
No reason can be advanc-
ed for Congress to author
ize bond issue for the reclama-
ton of arid lands in the West
that will not apply with equal
force to the authorization OF a
bond issue for the reclamation OF
swamp lands in the South. lnCol-
orado artificial irrigation under
the auspices of the United States
Government has created fruit
bearing land worth$3, OO0an acre,
according to a statement in re-
cent issue ofTheO Outlook, andres
ident Taft, speaking on reclama-
ton as branch of the conserva-
tion service, has promised that
the work of the Government
should not be lessened in this d.
rection during his Administra-
ton. There is much land in this
State and elsewhere in the South
that would be increased many
hundred times in value if the
Government should spend half
the amount for it's reclamation
that it has spent in the West.

The Danger Mark" by Rob-

rally in The Saturday Evening |
Post, the last chapters appearing
in The Post of the I'd inst, is a
pretty interesting story built up
on the fact that the cure for al
coholism is plenty of exercise, the
building up of a strong, vigorous
body. A girl who inherited an aw-
full desire for strong drink fights
it out on that line and wins, and
the story is worth the telling.
When all is said, that is the only
cure for alcoholism or any of the
dope habits that soothe and lull
into security for a time while the
will is undermined and the
strength Slapped. So-called whis-
key cures are not in it for a mo-
ment with plenty of exercise in
the open. When ones system

Robesonian last Monday. The
Charlotte Chronicle says that by
these new schedules through
trains will be run between Will
mington and Charlotte, avoiding
the changes at Hamlet and Mon
roe. Praise be. Those changes
have been a nuisance. Going to
Charlotte at night and coming
from Charlotte on the morning
train it has been necessary to
change at both Monroe and Ham

one to the travelling public.

the Farmers Union of Raft

that the location of the mill in

would seem to be worth while to
make it's location here certain.
