pense of entering a Norwegian
warship in the feet that is to
come through the Panama Canal
to the exposition grounds in 1915.
Two thousand square feet OF
space in the Palace of Machinery
has been requested by China, and
the space probably will be grant
ed. This makes China an exhibit
tor in every exposition depart
ment.
Officials have received a cable
gram announcing that France,
through its Chamber of Deputies,
has appropriated 100000 for the
exposition. The number of for
eign nations participating and the
number of states is 80.
Eight beautiful standard guage
observation cars, specially con-
structed for the "Grand Canyon
of Arizona" have arrived on the
exposition grounds. 1.-THE Grand
Canyon of Arizona" is the $780,
600 concession of the Santa Fe
Railway, and in making the trip
through it, visitors will be passen-
gers on the big observation cars
for half an hour.
The Panama Canal Zone which
is to be connected with the Expo
sition in so many phases, from
cause to the title of the conces-
sions district, "The Zone" may
have another distinction. Ath-
letes of the canal zone are anxious
to enter the exposition games and
contests. They believe they can
capture some medals. The ath-
letic department of the exposition
has asked Col. Goethals to grant
permission to the athletes to at
tend the exposition, and it is
probable that the men who built
the canal will be represented in
another feature of the exposition.

To the Business Men of Saratoga

l wish to make the following
statement: 1t has come to me
through reliable sources that the
business men of this place believe
l am saying very bitter and I'M
truthful things about them. OF
the origin of this report 1 have no
knowledge, but it certainly seems
to have been made with malicious
intent; for through it, some per-
son or persons are seeking to in
jure me. 1 wish to say the report
is most certainly untrue, for 1
have always had reason to consid-
or the business men of this place
my friends, having always receiv-
ed from them a courteous consid-
GRAFTON, and 1 have always held a
most kindly thought for them,
always have said a helpful word
for them whenever opportunity
offered, and 1 do not believe any
one can truthfully say that in my
position as clerk in the postoffce
OF Saratoga that I have at any
time failed in courteous kindliness
toward all, whether they be friend,
merest of acquaintance, or entire
stranger, I trust this explanation
will prove satisfactory to those
whom I have always held as
friends. Mrs. Fanny 81. Lee.

Concert.

The concert and reading of the
two ladies' here last evening was
not very we'll attended, but merit
ed a good attendance. Mrs. Hen
ry and Mrs. Kennedy are both ar
lists in their respective lines and
deserving of good support. Mrs.
Henry is an exceptionally good
reader and rendered several fine
pieces and Mrs. Kenneday sang a
number of solos, which pleased
her hearers. The ladies promised
to come back at a later date and
to give sufficient notice so that
people could all come.

Kansas City, Aug. 3.-Cattle
prices declined Is to 40 cents last
week, prime steers and common
cows losing least, medium and
common grass steers, good cows,

25 to 40 lower. Tight money and
fears of corn crop damage from
dry weather were leading causes
of weakness. Smaller beef con-
sumption since the late advance to
retailers, together will liberal re-
ceipts of imported meats at New
York. combine to Tighten the de-
mand from killers for live cattle.
The supply today is 1000 head,

NAMED close to telephone receiv-
ers till 10 o'clock, getting their
bearings with reference to financ-
ing purchases, the question of
available cash having suddenly
become extremely important. A
few early sales of medium native
steers at 1926 to 8.65, and prime
natives at $50 to $50, were steady
but bulk of sales were 10 to Is
lower, and the market very slow.
All the adverse influences at work
for three weeks in the stocker and
feeder trade remain effective, with
uncertainty and fear respecting
the future of trade in general adj

No State Of Mind
to Continue Their Work,

Washington, July 4.-Congress
should now adjourn because the
people of the United States have
a right to enjoy a little time be-
tween sessions in which they can
be reasonably certain what the
law is and is likely to. be while
their business trades are being
negotiated, instead of being oblig-
ed constantly to halt between a
shiver and a sweat because nobody
knows definitely what any law is
at sunset on any day or what it is
likely to he tomorrow. More than
that, after nearly a year and a
half of strenuous work under the
tremendous pressure of a legisla-
tive atmosphere literally surcharg-
ed with upheavel and upset in ev-
cry sphere of human interest
ranging from war threatening
complications abroad to ''insidi-
GUS Hobbies" at home, members of
Congress are in no state of mind
to continue their work with judi

Paul Doesett Dead.
Rock

Paul Doggett died In Rock
Springs yesterday evening from
appoplexy, His mother took him
to Rock Springs last week for
treatment and his death was un-
expected at this time. While he
has been in very poor health for
several years, and the doctors held
out little hope for his recovery,
yet he was considered better al
this time than for nearly a year
past. The body arrived today and
it is expected that the funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon
and interment will be in the GEN.
etery east of town.
Paul was "a years of age and
was born and raised in this valley
and received his education here.
He was a thoroughly good boy
and his friends were numbered by
those who knew him, and through
all his Affections he never gave up
and was always cheerful and
bright. His troubles were prob
ably incurable, though his friends
always hoped to Q him we'll and
strong, that he might fulfill his
ambitions. Everyone who knew
him will cherish his memory and
wish him heavens blessings in the
life to come.

Fast DRIVING.

Much has been said and nothing
done along the line of fast driv-
ing of cars within the town limits.
We have noticed several cars ex
ceeding the limit by better than
double, yet nothing has been
done. We have not made it our
business to report matters of this
kind, and we don't intend to I'M
less it increases, for the simple
reason that We pay officers, who
are supposed to enforce the law.
This matter of dilatory law en-
forcement will bring about the
killing of some small child, and
then there will be the very old
Harry to pay. 1t is a very SIM
pie matter to speak to fast drivers
and get them to cut it out, and if
after the proper warning they do
not heed, then run them in. All
new cars stopping here should be
notified. Fast driving means that
the driver lacks the ability to han
die his car and the "horse sense"
of doing it if he could, and shows

od and isolated tracts of land
might be disposed of to those
owning land or living in the vic
iuity thereof, congress passed an
act providing for their sale. This
oct has been amended on several
occasions and hemmed about by
regulations, that restrict it in it's
operations, the present regulations,
the commissioner Of the general
land Office will not order a strictly
isolated tract into the market un-
til it has been subject to home
stead entry for more than two
wears after all the surrounding
lands have been disposed of in
some manner. When an applica-
ton is filed it is at once referred
by the local land Office to the
chief of the field division for ap.
~praisement. When the value of
the land is fixed the application is
returned to the local land office
and thereafter transmitted to the
general land Office at Washington,
from whence the sale is ordered.
During the time this procedure is
going on the tract is subject to
entry, but as soon as the order of
sale reaches the local land office
the land is withdrawn from all
other disposition and the sale is
advertised, the applicant paying
for the advertising. On the day
of the sale the land is sold to the
highest bidder, but at not less
than appraised value.
No land will be ordered into the
market upon the application of
one who has purchased 100 acres
under the act.
There is a proviso designed to
aid those who may have adjoining
their homesteads or decided land
100 acres or less of rough, noun
famous or non-agricultural land.
Under this proviso the land need
not be isolated, but it must be
contiguous to the homestead or
other land of the applicant and
the greater portion of each legal
subdivision must be of the char
scter designated in the act. In
making these applications appli-
cants cannot use too great care in
describing the character of the
land and in setting forth the own
ership. To merely say the greater
potion of the land is too rough
for cultivation will not suffice. If
the tract is traversed by rough,
rocky ravines, the fact should be
set forth, and where they are-in

the matter of ownership, if the adj

tails must be given. This proviso
has been of great value to many
settlers, al it has enabled them to

Long before the Revolutionary war,
when settlers in Delaware were few,
a handful OF Episcopalians, known as

about two miles east OF Dover. This
early move was in 1903.
The crude frame building continued
to be the place of worship until the
population had so expanded that there
was a demand for larger quarters.
In 1874 work on a brick building
was begun. Historians record that II

Better Soldier Than Statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty
fifth anniversary OF his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke in recognition OF his
success In the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house OF commons voted $4,000
900 for the support of his new dignity.
Within a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the duke
Of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as a soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career OF the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

came out like little red pimple and

scratched off would be raw surface
