but that the major part of the taxes and
greater volume of business was paid by
and transacted in the portion of the
county eliminated by Mr.. Matthews in
his reconstruction of the map. Mr..
Parry placed Coulee City squarely on the
map in its proper place in such a
manner that it is not likely to be dis
turbed again in the near future. He
called the cbairmans attention to the
fact that Grant county was represented
by more than the two Ephrata delegates,
in fact Coulee City had ten there herself.
The cost of the construction of the
missing link OF the Sunset Highway, as
estimated by J.. w. Miller, will be
1852 900. This will build finished road
16 feet wide, on maximum grade Of
FIVE per cent, SO miles long, connecting
up with present roads leading out OF
Wenatchee and Ellersburg. The total
length of the route between the two
cities would be 60 miles. Mr.. Miller
believes that it would be an all-wlnter
road. 1t reaches maximum elevation
OF 1904 feet on the divide but it leads
through an open country and old timers
acquainted with winter conditions there
say that snow would not drift to close
the road.
There are two expensive pieces of con-
struction, one at Cape Horn % miles
south of Wenatchee and second at
Rock Island IL miles farther south along
the river. At Cape Horn tunnel
would have to be driven distance of
400 feet through solid rock. To bnild
this 30 feet wide and 20 feet high will
cost $4,000, is is estimated. The cost to
build through Rock Point would be $50,
900, which includes one mile of appro-
aches as we'll as the point itself. Leaving
the river the route follows up Quilomene
creek for a short distance, and then
crosses, going up South canyon. From
the top of South canyon there are nine
miles Of easy going, following the divide
between Quilomene and Skookumchuck
creeks. Here the maximum elevation is
reached. Then it goes 10 miles south
through disintegrated lava beds to West
Whiskey Dick Canyon for five miles,
connecting up with the Pine Park road.
The estimate of $4,000 calls for
completed road. To open the.route to
travel will cost only one half of this
amount.

time the glare from the burned town
was dying down, and ! was wondering
Just what was ahead of us when an
aeroplane high above dropped star
shell. This was followed by perfect
hurricane of shells. and the last gun
to attempt the crossing went INTO the
water. Emerging from a wood we
ran into a murderous guntire from
| German infantry and machine guns.
| NV gun and others OF our battery
were hurled into this open flre-swept
| field. swung around and i'll less than
two minutes opened fire on the Ger-
| mans.
| Each of our shells contained 500
bullets, and at range of 2oo yards
one can readily imagine how the Ger
mans fell Finally we halted them,
but the German infantry remained ND
den behind a deep fringe Of trees
with their own dead piled up against
them. Our guns could not do effective
work because of the trees. Therefore
we were ordered to use high explosive
shells.
Il shall never forget how those
shells were brought to us. The horses
on the ammunition supply wagon be-
came crazed and ran away. They
dashed within few yards of the Ger
man lines. and one brave rider-no
one ever knew who he was-shot the
first two horses dead. The wagon
rolled over them and him. Then
there was an explosion, for the wagon,
hit by a shell. was blown TO bits. The
explosion wrought havoc among the
Germans and our infantry. quickly fol-
t lowing up the advantage, drove the
Teutons out of the woods.
: Meantime our line was badly
: pressed near St Julien, and after the
g arrival of fresh British and Canadians
g our battery was ordered there We
e went right into the town. But on and
V on came the German infantry, and the
f retreat was sounded.

New YOrk.-Fate has played many
strange FRANKS with the men fgntlng
in Europe. but none perhaps is more
curious than that in which Thomas r.
Trusler figures Mr.. Trusler, who Is
stOpping at a hotel, was gunner Ill
the Third brigade, Canadian field ar
tillery.
/ The conclusion from a shell which
4 struck the ground near him last VIII
ter caused him to lose all recollection
of the past. Consequently, his tiancee
in Montreal mourned him for dead
and even after he learned his identity
through a scar on his right foot he uld
not remember her or his parents.
However, as he explained recently
he took his parents word that they
were his father and mother, and, al
though he does not recall his hrst pro-
nosal. he said he has fallen in love
all over again with the woman he was
IN have married and soon he hopes to
make her his bride.
Although Sir Frederick TreVes, hlng
Georges surgeon, is said to have at
tempted to restore his memory Dy
means of hyp.otism. Mr.. Trusler, VINO
is twentv-one years old, recalls noth
ing of his past prior to the day MS
mind became blank from the concus
sion. and when he returned to Canade
in the early autumn because OF MS
wound il was necessary for him Il
relearn the way about his native city
of Montreal and to be introduced t
lifelong boyhood friends and school
, mates.
