One of the most important things
for Cairo commercially Is the begin

officials of the road have given as
surance that the Birds Point incline

there would warrant 1t; and this as.
surance may be accepted in good
faith.

would be welcomed by the United

The coroner's inquest over the body
mud grave seven miles east OF Woon-
socket, was concluded. The verdict
was to the effect that Kraft came to
his death as the result of being shot
with a gun in the hands of Charles
Gentry. The evidence brought out
the fact that Kraft and Gentry left
Croker suddenly several weeks ago
to make a trip through the country,
travelling in a light wagon. Two men
from Croker appeared at the inquest
and stated they saw Gentry and
Kraft start away together. The des-
cription they gave of Gentry is the
same as that given by a boy living
on a farm where Gentry and Kraft
stopped to make some inquiries as to
the roads a week ago Sunday. The
surroundings indicated that Gentry
shot Kraft from behind, blowing the
top of his head off, the shot was
heard in that vicinity, nothing was
thought Of it, as Sunday was the
opening day of the chicken season.
The mother Of Kraft lives in New Jer-

have the remains buried at Woon-
socket, as she did not have the funds
to pay for the transportation back to
her home.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
early completion of the naval base at
Pearl Harbor is mentioned in the an
nual report of Admiral R. c. Hollyday,
Bureau of Yards and Docks, just made
public here. He expects the Pearl Har-
Dor yard to be completed by next July
and the drydock by year from next
May. The language of the report is as
follows:
"The bureau is especially gratified
at the rapid and satisfactory progress
of work at Pearl Harbor. This station
was authorized by the act of May 10,
1908. Work for the whole station has
been laid out and the more important
work had been put under contract, or
was being advertised at the end of the
fiscal year. The first work contracted
for was the dredging from the sea to
the naval station. This was a work of
considerable magnitude and in some
respects unlike any other dredging
operation that has been undertaken any
