sary to get some of his friends to come over
from Long Island. and he would be pretty sure
to lose day two. This would upset all his
plans for his walking tour And yet he was not
sorry he had tried to rescue the young woman

pathetic look on her face as she wept into the

and shooting OFF a lot Of perfectly
good ammunition these braves are
securing the woods in search Of

BURNS OUT THE STUMPS,

A rig for burning out stumps has
been invented by a Washington man
which is attracting a great deal of
attention in the stump land districts
of that state and will be watched
with interest in northwest Montana.
A vertical hole is drilled through
the stump and two lateral holes,
reaching to it. The reservoir is then
wheeled up to it and the two sets
Of tubes connected with the two side
holes. Burning liquid fuel and air
under pressure is injected in the 9TH

hole the liquid is ignited and spread
through the entire stump ,devouring
it until it is eaten through clean
down to the ground, leaving a level
surface instead Of the torn remains
that follow dynamiting.

It's no credit for a person to be

the one who wants to do a few ticks
OF work in the early hours of the

A provision is being inserted in the

crease in the lumber business. Re-
cent reports shows that the traffic
on the Great Northern has grown
to such proportions that new mon
ster locomotives that will be able to
