PUBLIC WORKS
DEPT. BUYS TWO
NEW AUTO TRUCKS

According TO Supt. f. C.. Foster.
OF the public works department,
more paving will be done during
the fiscal year ending July. 1917.
than has ever been attempted be-
fore by the village. The depart
ment now has under way or will
begin soon. the Improvement OF
Second-ave., Hamilton blvd, Oak
land-ave.. John r., and several
streets In the western part OF the
village west OF Hamiltonblvd Two
additional motor trucks have been
purchased because OF the great
amount OF hauling which must be
done.
Mr.. Foster states that the trucks
will take the place Of three teams
on short hauls and Of four teams
on long hauls. II has been roughly
estimated that the two trucks would
save about 5000 a month during the
rest OF the season. and that they
would pay for themselves during
this year and next.

OF rats In the village. the council OF
Highland Park has authorized Roy.
al Ford. village clerk. to pay Ave
cents for every rat brought in. dead
OF alive. The council passed a reso-

AN INTERRUPTION

In the steady supply of ice during the re-
cent heated term would have meant in
e creased discomfort and heavy losses in
perishable goods. This condition was
avoided by the use Of
Central Station Power
of which Detroit ice manufacturers employ
$500 horsepower. producing approximate
~ 1000 tons of ice every week.
Ice making requires continuity of the pow
er supply in special degree, hence the
prevailing use of central station energy
for that purpose.
We can give You equally as reliable SER
vice, and probably at lower cost than your
own power. Have talk with one of our
engineers.

May Take Over the Project.
1; is now APPARENT that the reclamation
service may take over the King Hill
project from the state. This is
of the best tracts of land under irri-
CATION in Idaho. 1t has been under
state management for the past four
years. the original company having
defaulted in its interest payments and
the property having been sold on exc
cution and bid in by the state for the
amount owing the state on certificates
issued.
An effort has recently been made to
have the reclamation service interest
itself in the project. and a board of
engineers has just completed a cru
cial examination and the report Of the
board has been forwarded to reclama-
ton headquarters. ii is reported that
the board has recommended that the
project be taken over and the work
completed. There is about 10000
acres of choice land in the project,
all of which has been settled on and
much OF this has been improved.
Water for the land is secured from
the Malad river a short distance south
of Bliss. From this point 1t is con-
veyed through canals and fumes
across Snake river to the south side
of the stream, where a quantity of the
land is served. Water in them is
brought to the north side of the stream
at the town of King Hill, and carried
down the river to the town of Ham,
NETT, a distance OF something like
twenty miles, serving the lands in the
narrow Snake river valley.

Where the Luck Comes In.

Fortunately for the Signal Corps men
and for the laundry of ''Detweiler and
Warmker, Limited" all of the color
running stunts have happened in the
case of underclothing and not uniforms.
Capt. Terry does not mind how riotous
the color of his mems underclothing be-
comes so long as their outer garments
stick to the prescribed olive drab. AS
soon as Sergt. Tiller reports for duty
with an outer shirt of 20. D. with col
lar and cuffs of cerise he is going to
be heard from. Corp. Borchardt also
must stick to the 20. D. and NOT try TO
officiate in the office tent while wearing
shirt or trousers that look ike a
marine artist had been wiping his
brushes on them. McCracken is mighty
good fellow and is prince among
men, but he must not let this fact re-
suit in his wearing Il uniform that mas
the least resem blance to purple.
Everything that shows must be
80. D. or there's going to be trouble
in camp.
Another name has been added to the
list of heroes in the o. NJ. D. c. camps
1t is that of Corp. Church of the Sig
nal Corps. 1t follows that of Private
Amoroso of the Field Hospital unit
who saved a man from drowning the
other day in the pool at the Y. Nj. c. A
at Bisbee.
Here's the story of Corp. Churchs s
deed of heroism:
Accompanied by several of his camp
Evening star., 1916-08-08

blue bandanna handkerchief in the lot
Well. to make long story short. the
blue in that particular bandanna was
not true to specification. It ran like
coward.
Now, in the case of Sergt. Til1er. a
pair of perfectly delightful red socks
were responsible for the cerise or ecru,
or whatever it may be. If Arthur Duffy
had worn those socks when he estab-
lished his 10O-yard record the time
would have been about two seconds
less, for those socks certainly could run.
Sergt. Tiller says the color was fast
all right. there's no disputing that fact.
The case of Corp. McCracken differs
somewhat from the rest Through
some hook or crook Mac smuggled
piece of indelible pencil in his clothing
when it was sent to the wash. Some
say he had been using the pencil to
mark his clothing so that they would
not become mixed at the laundry and
be returned to the wrong man. If this
is true Mac" accomplished his pur-
pose. for now a blind man could dis
tinguish his clothes at forty yards. The
color is so loud that you can almost
hear it.

REINsTATED AS TRANSLATOR.
szemelenyi Qualified and Only Man
Who Will Do Work Within Paw.

President Wilson has issued an or
der, in which the civil service COM
mission concurs, on the recommended
ton of the Secretary of the Interior.
providing for the reinstatement in the
natent office of Ernest Szemelenyi, as
n translator, at $1,000 per annum.
The order states in part:
Mr. Szemelenyi served from 1881 to
1903 as translator in the patent Of
flee. The commissioner of patents,
who has been personally cognizant of
the character of his work for twenty
wears, states that his acquaintance
with foreign languages and the prac-
ticaI arts and science combined gives
him a range of ability for handling
certain business of the patent office
which is unique; that no one has ever
been able to distribute foreign patents
among the different divisions as ac-
ceptably as Mr.. Szemelenyi did while he
was so employed; and that he desires to
have the appointment authorized by
executive order because of the needs of
the office and because it is impossible
to get any one to do the work which
Mr.. Szemelenyi can do within the salary
which the Office can pay.
