FALSE ALARM
 OF FIRE

some practical joker, evidently a HCungstcr. with more desire to see the fun than nerve enough to go through with his part of the stunt. turned in al alarm of fire from box N" l3 near the Pacific Cold Storage plant this morning
 The fire apparatus made d quick run to the box from which the alarm had Teen turned in but could find no evi- dcncc of any fire in the ncighborhood.
 The presumption is that whoever turned in the alarm became frightened when the mechanism in the box began to click and ran away as the lever for setting the alarm off was not pulled all the way down.

ASLEEP IN THE SHADOW
OF THE ROCKIES

Near the confluence of Clear Creek
and Silver Creek, is an unmarked
grave of a trapper, whose remains
were inferred many years before civ
ilization had stamped its brand upon
the primitive grandeur of the west.
This man, with others, came from
Missouri In the early part of the 10Th
century and died in the year 1887,
but his identity was unknown in this
community, since his entree was long
before many persons braved the per-
lis of that vast expanse of territory
lying west of the Missouri river.
His grave remains unmarked, save
for a rude mound of granite boulders
that inaccurately mark the boundar-
les of his lonely tomb, and the floral
tribute to his memory, that is plac-
year by tender and sympathetic
hands.
We look back along the dim vista
of years, and speculate as to the
manner of his coming and the cause
of his demise. We marvel as to the
motive that prompted him to leave
friends and loved ones to brave the
dangers incident to the trip across
the plains, where roved the skulk-
ing, and treacherous Indian. We won
der what manner of man was he
to jeopardize his life by laboriously
forging his tortuous way into the al
most impregnable Businesses of an
unknown wilderness, infested with un-
familiar members of the brute crea-
ton, whose ferocity strikes terror to
the heart of the average man.
This intrepid trapper must have
conquered all the hardships and vicis-
STUDIES that associate themselves
with a journey of this kind, but at
last there came time when his tenn
Gritty and courage availed him not,
and his mortal remains were laid
away by some kindly hand, there to
rest in peaceful slumber, until the
clarion notes announce the day of
judgment.
Were he to arise from his lowly bed
and scan the hills to the westward,
he would weep tears of emotion at
the destruction of the waving pine
and spruce that once reared their
stately heads aloft, and gracefully
nodded thier cordial welcome to his
coming. The lawless and avaricious
hand of man has shorn them of their
verdant loveliness, and nothing but
the hand of time can reclothe them
in all their pristine verdure.
The graceful, weeping willows bow
their dainty heads in silent and path
etic grief. The aspens murmur soft
the doleful chant of the voiceless
dead, and the crystal streams sing
their ceaseless requiem in their
trammeled flight to the ever hun
cry sea, leaving his dust to rest in
solitude alone, where there is no 9th
er sound but the sad winds moan.

Our Versatile Governor.

The Bristol Press says: Governor Baldwin is acsuredly Ia versatile and many-sided man. He has often enough given evidence of his interestan num- erous directions. Once again he illus trates his ability to see and deal with widely differing things. A few days ago he spoke learnedly and convinc- ingly about our national songs, giving reasons why he preferred The Star Spangled Banner to America. A day or two after he followed this up with a letter calling attention to the neglect of guide boards on country roads. In his letter he says there is a law making selectmen liable to fine of five dollars for each and every neglect to properly mark highway. The purpose of his letter is to secure the sign boards that will enable travellers to go about the state with confidence and certainty so far as the roads are concerned.
