GAS BOAT BURNS

While Capt. Nicholson of the power launch Baby was pros peeting for mink on Skin Isl- and at the entrance of Ghom- lev Sound, Monday. Jan. I2, the boat caught fire from some cause. Hearing the explosion of shells in the burning launch Capt. Nicholson rushed back tn the beach and succeeded in bleaching the burning hull and eXtinguishing the fire. His loss amounts to considerable. as all his personal effects were destroyed, together with 73 mink skins and some valuable mining stock. He went to Sunny Point in his skiff and secured the launch Buick to tow the wreck to Chomley. where he will rebuild it at once having sent south for the nee essary machinery.

w. c. T. U. NOTES

The wettest block in Kansas City. Mo, which formerly con- tained twenty-five saloons. has now only thirteen. and the Sa- loon keepers are complaining of lack of patronage. Many of them close at twelve o'clock instead of one. the regular closing hour, the length of the bar has been shortened, and the number Of bar-tenders de- creased. One of the saloon keepers in discussing said, T do not know whether the people are drinking less or less people are drinking. The men who come here do not seen to drink as much as they did for merly, and fewer drinkers come here than several years ago. Trade is very poor" The verdict is that though the men have money 10 spend they are not spending it in the saloons.

Minot, N. Oak.
|, Dear Sir:
The model C-37 Buick which l pur-
chased through you on July 18th was
delivered to me at the factory at Flint,
on the 23rd, and we began our auto
trip from that point; we ran about
300 miles to Toronto, Ont, and visited
there for about two weeks, then start
ed on our journey home.
We took our time along the way, our
shortest days run was LAG miles and
the longest 238.
We crossed the province of Ontario
and thru the states of Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota and North Dakota and
our banners Of the state and city at
tracted much attention.
We ran total of 1886 miles and
used 155 gallons of gasoline and IL
gallons of oil, our miles to the gallon
of gasoline would be about 16 2-3. The
entire run was made with the top up.
| We carried three passengers and
baggage equivalent to the weight of
two more.
Yours very truly,
| E.. j. WALSH.
