During the past week the hremen
have erected a small, fireproof house
on the lots near the Bennett Bros.
feed house to locate the chemical en-
CINE during the summer months and
possibly permanently.
This places the engine in a better
location for the fremen and viii
make it far more convenient in
case Of a FIRE call. Most Of the large
fires in the past have occurred in
that neighborhood and the new loca-
tion will bring the equipment nearer
the center OF activity.

gineers they proceeded to Medbury
and gave the plans an examination

day following Mr Bradley and the
other defendants entered into con-
tract with MIR. Gard for his filings in
order to come into possession OF the
project In a few days Mr.. Peter
son made a blanket filing covering
Mr.. Cards filings on the streams and
the day following MT Gard was call
ed into consultation with defend
ants and told his plan was not feas-
ible or practicable, and therefore the
agreement was at an end Plaintiff

defendent had taken over his pro-
ject and had proceeded with the de-
3 yelopment OF the system and was at

e for the same and had received mon
e ey on the contracts

sistently misrepresented the attitude
Of hose who desire. to enforce he

last fallen back on the sole argument
that compliance with the law will
relieve the mining companies and

Not satisfied with attempting to in

papers are now trying to develop a
feeling OF resentment on the part OF

Next week we intend to announce
the closing date in the big Aiano
contest at the Briggs-Morton bard
ware store.
Unusual interest is taken in this
contest owing to the high value of
the prizes to be awarded. Seldom
does any one business firm give
away absolutely free a high grade
piano in voting contest where vot-
es are secured on goods regularly
purchased at the store. In addition
to the piano given away nearly ST.
900 worth of coupons will be given
to those at the top.
There is still a chance for all and
heavy vote by any contestant will
make a big difference in the general
result.
The closing date will be very soon
and the time to hustle on the finals
is now. The results May 18th follow:
