So il ism t worth while TO try to dodge

trip through the pathless desert TO the
hunting ground begun in December,
months ahead of Roosevelt, He tells
of his first meeting with the Jungle
Warriors, of hunts for giraffe, for the
buffalo, for the hippopotamus, for the
elephant, for the Gland, the water buck,
the kudu, the rhinoceros. and for the
many forms of wild life usually sought
by the hunter. He makes particular
reference in this book to what may be
expected from President Roosevelt, and
anticipates in way a good deal Of the
freshness of the Roosevelt narrative.
Some Of his trophies, such as the big.
horned water buck, could hardly be eX-
cclled by anything that Mr. Roosevelt
is liable 10 bring back His descriptions
of the regions through which his hunt
ing trips were made are very vivid and
cnticing TO any one who is fond of hunt

| exceedingly dangerous work.
Mr.. Bronson is enthusiastic about the
native hunters, and dcvotes whole

City Hall Badly Needed.

The majority of the people and the city council both realize the necessity of a City Hall The The fact that one is badly needed and can be had for a small expen- allure and that on easy terms, should cause every Prescott pa. triot to get busy at once and un- ceasingly agitate the building of same. We would suggest that the amount necessary for the construction of such a building be borrowed from an individual, one who has the pride of his home town at heart.
 One public spirited citizen sug. gests that the ground floor be used for offices and jul and the upper story for Opera House. The total cost of such building should not cost the city over S15, 100000. At the present time we haven't what could be called a City Jail, and our city officials are badly in need of offices. The city is without an opera house, made so by fire, and the rents saved and received would pay for the building to say nothing of the unlimited amount and nec- essary advertising Prescott would recieve.

The suspense was great because three lovers were after the same girl.
