Town Is Deserted; Citizens Hunt
Gold.

Prince Albert Sask., August TO-
Reports from Hudson Bay Junction
state that the whole town is excited
over an alleged rich discovery Of gold
which has been made thirty miles
north. Practically every male resi-
dent Of the junction has gone to the
scene and the town is deserted ex-
cept by women and children. The
excitement was started when a half
breed came into town with his pock-
cts bullying with nuggets.

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
County supsrln.sndsn. P N. Allison

County Superintendent P NJ. Allison
The faculty of the Agricultural
.Celllepe IS making close inquiry about
the industrial side of our school work
in this county and We are very anx-
ious to show them we are interested
as well as they. We shall be pleased
to have more girls enter their part
of the contest and make this dis
play worth while. The teacher who
is to Judge this work has written to
make this as complete as we can.
The rain has come in time to iniure
the boys part. .
We are pleased to say that the well
we spoke of last week at Edwards as
having been quit without water has
about sixteen feet of water and we
are exceedingly glad to make this
correction.
The examination for this month
will be held the 26th and 9th.
Questions will be provided that any
one may take any of the subjects the
second day but only those for the
first, the first day. The subjects
will be given in the same order as in
March and June.
One thing in our recent primary
that indicates we have a good school
spirit is the fact that the candidates
for State Superintendent of Schools
lead the ticket on both Republican
and Democratic tickets,
Green View school, in Walnut
township, is doing considerable inn
provement in general way on their
building and grounds. Miss Villa
Darr will teach the school again this
year, fact which they are very
proud of, she having given entire
satisfaction last year,
The friends of Miss LYDIA Faulkner
will be pleased to know that she will
teach in Bates County again this
year, having recently been elected
teacher of Maple Grove, in West
Boone township. This is one Of our
very best communities and Miss
Faulkner is one of our best teachers
so we are anticipating avery success
full school.
The Reading Circle is starting off
well this year and much interest is
being manifested already. More of
the books have been sold than usual
and the inquiry about the work indi-
Gates good interest. We expect to
organize this work at the August
Meeting and begin the work with
Irregular school work. Both books
are milne with the regular school
work one being on Agriculture and
the other on Health. We are sug.
costing that the country schools,
where the ninth grade is taught, use
Agriculture instead of Physical Geo.
graphy.
Miss Inez Beck in writing abou
the work for next year speaks of hel
work in summer school as being yer,
satisfactory in every particular anC
she feels that she can do much bette
work than formerly. We are sur,
she is right in this and yet her worl
has been very satisfactory always be
fore. There is no doubt but ever,

CLOUDS HIDE WHITE ISLAND.
S. phuric Steam Causes Strange Freak
Near New Zealand.

White island, thirty miles to the
northeast of New Zealand, is perhaps
the most extraordinary island in the
world. 1t is an enormous mass of rock
nearly three miles in circumference,
rising 800 feet above the sea, and is
perpetualiy enveloped in dark clouds,
which are visible for nearly 100 miles.
The island consists almost entirely
of sulphur. with a small percentage of
gypsum. Some years ago an attempt
was made to float a company to work
the sulphur, which is Of high quality.
but sufficient capital was not subscrib-
ed. Therefore the export of sulphur
from White island is still very small.
In the interior is a lake fully fifty
acres in extent, the water of which
has a temperature Of 10 degrees f.,
and it is strongly impregnated with
acids. On one side Of this lake are
craters, from which steam escapes
with great force and noise. This steam
and the vapor from the lake form the
dark cloud that envelops the island.

PANAMA HAS fine THEATER,
With Official Palace 1t Occupies En-

With Official Palace 1t Occupies En-.
tire Square.
The public theater is conspicuous
factor in the life Of every Latin Amer
lean city. Every important town owns
Its splendid municipal theater, OF
which it is justly proud. In many
cases these theaters are buildings
beautiful in design, having cost large
sums Of money to erect. One Of the
recent contributors in this respect is
the city of,Panama.
The new government palace and the
National theater constitute one of the
finest buildings in Panama, OCCUPY.
ing an entire block between them. The
theater is at one side, and the palace;
in which are the different departments
of the governing force of the repub.
lie, is at the other. The two make a
fine edifce covering an area Of nearly
1000 square feet. having cost $780,,
OOO
The auditorium of the theater will
accommodate 1900 persons and has
splendid acoustic properties. The in,
terror walls are formed of iron and
cement blocks, the roof is of corrugat-
ed iron, and the stage is fitted with a
fireproof metallic curtain. Light and
ventilation are obtained from eight
large windows. situated on each of the
four sides.
1t was erected during the admins
tration Of the late DR.. Amador Guer-
zero, having been commenced in No.
vember. 1905, and completed two and
a half years later. 1t was inaugurated
by an italian opera company which
had been expressly contracted for.
Since that time it has given an unin-
terrupted series of performances of
every kind.

MOTOR ENGINES TO ALTER
OCEAN STEAMER TRAFFIC.
America, Britain and Germany Ex-
pertinent With Petrol.

< s Z Is
A ship Of transatlantic dimensions is
being equipped for regular service
with motor engines. The familiar
steam engines, with their boilers. fur
naces and coal bunkers, have been re-
placed by a compact internal combus-
ton engine.
IN the marvellous progress in steam
snip building improvements have con
sisted for the most part in enlarging
the ships and adding new luxuries to
ocean travel. Increased speed has
been obtained by merely enlarging the
engines. Even the adoption Of the tur-
b1ne engines was less important than
the present installation Of the oil mo-
tors on large ships. The turbines saved
valuable space by reducing the size Of
the engine, but the oil driven engines
carry this economy Of space much fur
ther.
A number of tests and much discus
sion have led up to the present expert
ment. The British navy has been car
rylng on similar experiments, but on
a much smaller scale. The American
navy has been carrying on similar ex-
periments. Several naval authorities
both In England and America have
stated recently that oil was undoubt-
edly the fuel of the future. The mo-
tor liner has been equipped by Ger
man line, and it will be tested both in
European and American waters. The
friends of the new fuel believe that
within a few years the great liners
will be driven by oil and that new
era, in navigation will date from it's
adoption.
The motor liner will have 5000 tons
burden. The largest ship to be driven
in this way hitherto has been less than
half this size. The new liner will
measure 400 feet in length and have a
beam of So feet and draft of % feet.
A ship of this size will obviously give
the new engines a complete test.
The petrol motors will be capable of
developing 26,000 horsepower. The
motor liner will have twin propellers.
1t is only few years since the idea
of driving a large boat with petrol
motors was ridiculed by marine en-
gineers, but now that 400 foot boat
Is about to be put in commission with
this system the day Of the steam en-
gine would seem to be menaced.
The coal bunkers, which take up so
much space in the great ships today,
will be replaced by tanks for holding
the petroleum.

WOMEN MAY SMOKE HERE.
Chicago Plans Theater With Cigarette.
For Fair Patrons.

A new music hall with women's
smoking room, in which all kinds of
cigarettes will be provided to patrons
free, is to be built in Chicago.
The plan is to construct building
twenty stories high and costing $3.OOO.-
900. Part Of the building will be given
over to offices, but besides the the
ater there will be roof garden. Chairs
will be used in the theater instead Of
the regular stationary seats, and it Is
said that not only will the fair patrons
be supplied with monogram cigarettes,
but they will be able to buy light
luncheon and liquid refreshments.

RUSSIA IMPROVES WATERWAY
Plans Connection Between Baltic, Cas-

plan and Black Seas.
The Russian government is consider
ing thorough improvement of the in
land waterway system in its European
provinces. This is to include direct
communication between the Baltic sea
and the Caspian and Black seas, which
will revolutionize economic conditions
and greatly benefit the Moscow dis
trict, Russia's most important CONNER
cial center.
The total estimated cost is $685.
600, to be raised abroad. Annual main
tenance and interest will call for &c.
100000. At an extra cost Of $5O,OOO,-
600 the Dwina rapids can be made to
develop 100000 horsepower and those
Of the Dnieper 10000 horsepower.
Revenue, including tolls, will be $1O,-
