 The new device is to be used in connection with steam shoyels, Moth ing definite, however, is known here regarding MT. Treadgold's plans for operations in Klondike in the imme- diate future.
 Arrivals from Dominion and Quartz creeks state that Treadgold has men at work stripping ground there with aid of hydraulic giants operated with water from the long ditches which Mir. Treadgold in- stalled the last two years.

 Dear Sir:
 Most of the liquor licenses which were grartcd during the current tis- cal year will expire on June 80, 1914, and the time is near at hand when applications for renewal of licenses will be made.
 The law provides that, before any license is granted, it shall be shown 60 the satisfaction of the court that a majority of the white male and female citizens over the age ol twenty-one years within two mics of the place where intOXicat- ing liQuCr is to be manufactured, har,creJ, sold, or exchanged, have in good faith consented to the man u.acrure. barter, sale, or eXhcange ot the same; and the burden shall ne upon the applicant, or appH-  .ruts, % show to the satisfaction c. said court that a majority of the white male and female citizens of .weuu-0ae years Of age or more thereto, and no license shall be granted in the absence of such e'.duece.
 
 Thus you will see that the per sons desiring licenses must show this consent to the court; i. @. they must satisfy the court that a ma lor.ty ct the persons named within two miles of the place where Che liquor IS to be sold have consented --.the sale It is not for the court Co be aC any trouble or expense to

ascertain whether or not this con- sent has been obtained, but the applicants must themselves satisfy the court. Consequently the Qucs- ton is; How can the court be satts- fled?
 It was formerly the practice for each individual applicant to have a book in which were written the names of those who did and those who did not consent, and if tho ma- jority of those in that book were in favor of the liquor being sold, E was taken to be the necessary con- sent. Last year the court made a ruling that the consent was not re- quired for each individual appl.cou, but that one book would do for all applicants. That was not generally known and so was not followed except in Juneau l believe that that is the correct construction Of the law-at any rate, do not ia- tend to vary it now; but, of course even after the consent has been the question as to whe.Le. Or not will grant a license in any locality for any Dar.H cuIar saloon, :s still a matter c. discretiou.
 The method of procedure to sat isfy me of the obtaining of the con- sent Of the requisite number ot people will be this;
 You select two reliable, thor oughly honest, and respectable cit- izens to taRe a census. These per- sons should be provided with book, which shall be Ietterel and ruled something like this:

A. Swift. 8 prominent Taunton attor- ney. entered the case. replacing Daniel B. Breard as counsel for the defend ant.
 Attorney Swift has filed an action demanding that Mrs. Bates furnish the court with specifications as to the times and places and circumstances on which she relies for her divorce on charges of gross and confirmed charges of intoxication, She Is asked for the same in connection with the alleged refusal to support.
 The couple were married in Daniel son, June 4, 1912. after a brief court ship. MT. Bates took his girl bride to Attleboro, where she was intro- duced to society. The libel for divorce caused a sensation, for theirs was be- lteved to have been a love match. The press of New York made much of the coming of the couple to Dam ielson to be married, for on the day of the evening on which they flashed unexpectedly into DanieIson, travelling in a luxuriously appointed touring car, the papers of the big town had carried stories purporting to indicate that the couple had gone into Massa- chusetts to be married, but much doubt was expressed. over the destination. It was this publicity that made possible the identification of the couple as soon as the marriage license which they took out here fell under the eyes of
 persons who keep i'll touch with the
 news of the day.
 There was something of romance
 behind the marriage day and this was read with more than usual ayidity

 A strange feature of the case was Howarth's apparent inability to keep away from Putnam after he first got into trouble Q few months ago and agreed to stay out of this city for al least six months. He returned here time and again, though the police trying hard, were never able to ap- prehend him. as his visits were most ly at night. When the two breaks to which he has pleaded guilty were made, he was immediately suspected in fact, was seen in the garage, thiy leading the officers to believe he would not be seen here again very soon. He stayed away less than a week, however. his last visit ending in disaster and arrest.

sHopopENpRoN sWAMPs.
Damaged in Recent Forest Fires .
 voIuntown and Vicinity.

Now that the forest fires are out, property owners are just beginning t. find out what immense areas were burned over. and what the probable town and the great country east of Mount Misery, show that some of the famous rhododenron swamps which flourish in that section did not escape.
 One of the nearest of these swamps is on land owEed by Calvin Wilcox known as the Mount Misery cedar swamp. This locality Vas visited in the summer ct 1906 by Dr. Graves a botanist of New London and E. F. Burleson of this place. and many fine specimens were secured, some of the great plants being 10 feet in height.
 What is known as the Great Rhodo- dendron swamp is situated several miles back of the one mentioned and IS on property owned by James P Hazard.
 This tract covers nearly two miles square, and extends over the Rhode Island line. It is seldom if ever visit ed. and then only by those who must leave the highway, and travel nearly two miles through an almost impene- trable thicISet of all sorts Of br1ars ana unddrbrush growth. But when once reached the spIendor of the scene is never to be forgotten. For miles the beautiful blooms stretch away. and on summer morning when approaching the swamp the hum of myriads of bees can be heard for half mile.
 There are in the borough four rho dodendron shrubs which when in bloom furnish not only a beautiful flower for the study of the botanist. but one. for the admiration of the casual observer. There Is an interesting old Indian legend connected with these famous swamps which dates back to the time of Uncas and Miantonomoh an ac- count of which can be found in the
