Sea Sprinus.

In the very hottest district in the
world-the shores Of the Persian gulf
there is no rain whatever, nor rivers,
nor cases. Yet water is got-from the
bottom of the sea. Six miles of the

bubbling springs of ice cold fresh
water. Divers capture it in goatskin
bags and retail it inland at very mod

December. and in temperature that
hardly ever sinks below 80 degrees and
often rises to over ITO the natives have
no worry about their water supply.

Counting Mail

Evidently the postofice depart
ment is making an effort to get at
approximately acurate cost and
efficiency figures. During the
month of May, all mail passing
through the Ely postoffice, as we'll
as every other postofice in the
country, will be counted, the num-
Der of times each piece is handled
will be counted and the time spent
in handling will be made matter
of record.
Separate figures must be kept on
outgoing mail, incoming mail, mail
collected and mail delivered and
the count must include the number
of pieces handled, the actual time
consumed in handling, the average
number of pieces handled per
minute and the average number of
landings each piece receives with
reference to the different classes of
mail matter. The classes include
not only the first, second, third and
fourth classes generally known,
but five divisions of second class
mail, two divisions of third class
mail, two divisions of congressional
franked mail, two divisions of de-
partmental franked mail, foreign
mail and registered mail.
The counting was begun Mon
day and the employees of the post
office see looming before them a
month of solid work which in ad-
dition to the weighing of the in
coming and outgoing mail and the
regular work of the office will keep
everyone just about busy enough.

A large amount Of exploratory

For the past six months Oster-

two diamond drills working con-

machinery is now all in place and
two shifts are employed in sinking
the shaft.
A four drill air compressor is
being put in at the present time.
The hosting drum and boilers have
been working for some time. The

counties paid into the state treasury
SIS per cent of all the taxes paid by
the SO counties of the state. The

If representation from the cities
in the state senate should be limited
to half what it is from the country
districts, according to the Moonan
constitutional amendment proposed
by the last session of the legislature,

Sunday Fire

The dismal wall of the fire alarm
brought out the fire department
Sunday morning at about $50 to
the location near No. shafthouse
of the Chandle-. The department
responded promptly and after laying
half mile of hose kept the fire
from spreading.
Two dwellings and barn were
burned. The dwellings were the
property of Louis and Ludwig
Perusek who resided there with
their families. The fire started in
the kitchen of one of the homes
and spread rapidly soon communi.
eating itself to the neighboring
house and barn. A cow and cali
in the barn were driven out but in
their frenzy both rushed into the
open door of the burning kitchen
and were cremated.
The loss is estimated at about
$500 with $500 insurance. The
people in the immediate vicinity
saved their homes with wet blankets
and a bucket brigade until the
arrival of the department.

observance of Mothers Day.
The proclamation follows:
The beautiful custom of setting
apart one day in each year to pay
tribute to our mothers should not
be abandoned or forgotten. No
element in either national or dom

the mothers of Our country. Home
virtues are the safeguard of exist

I recommend, therefore, that
the second Sunday in May be SO
observed as to make it practical
service to mankind and to give it a
permanent place in the list of Min
