quor loom; and is re1Aade into a liquor
for use again. The soda loss is estiE
mated to be. on an average, about 10
per cent. with each operation.
Twenty Giant Boilers.
Passing from the rotary room into
an open space in the yard was a Wei
come Tel.e Here we looked Up and
saw a second smokestack, which we
had not previously noticed. 1t was
$50 feet high. The main smokestack
is 252 feet. Between these two smoke
stacks is situated the mighty boiler
room-about 100 feet long, with twenty
gigantic boilers, each having a capac-
ity of 315 horse power of steam. There
are ten on each side of the room,
fronting each other, with a wide work
ing space between the two rows, where
z fremen, 2 engineers and 2 oilers
were busily engaged.
The oiling and shaking of the ash
pans are automatic, as is the feeding
of coal to the fire boxes. The coal
comes down in chutes from the larg-
est coal bin l ever saw-a huge round
%container, ten or twenty feet above
the boilers, shaped like a Zeppelin
balloon-with a capacity of eighty car
loads of coal!
The sixth point of interest reached
the steam pumps, and the seventh the
hot water pumps-these being on a
par in hugeness with the other won
derful machinery.
Using 5000 III. p. Electricity.
! The company's electric power plant
is larger than that of most small
towns, yet. they supplement this with
power from Waynesville and Asheville.
The great dynamo DON contains two
monster dynamos and one of medium
size, which, together, have a general
ing capacity of 5000 horse power.
There are some interesting signs in
the dynamo room, for example-"Don't
rate the job as a snap-the engineer
was on duty before you got up" An
other-"Please handle all the bright
work-we have nothing to do but keep
it clean" And still another-"Keep
your hands on the fly wheel-unless
you want to go up"
Watching the Pulp.
Our ninth stop was In the bleach
room. The sulphuric pulp, originally
dark. is being bleached white. We see
it pouring through a channel, like a
mill-race full of ice cream. The soda
pulp is much darker than the sui
phide. II, too, Is being bleached.
There are "a tanks in the room, each
"a feet deep, and they are full and
boiling. We are walking owe the
tanks. The room is about $50 feet by
$50 feet. Through dozens of whirling
mills" the pulp is being stirred, as
it passes in its process of bleaching.
Our tenth stop was the "beater'
room, where the defective products
and odds and ends were being fed into
q beating machine, which macerated
them, after which they were colcred
and made into jute board.
Our eleventh stop was the last in
the mechanical department proper.
AND here we saw the great finishing
machines-four great rows of ma
chines-or series OF rollers. which took
up the pulp between revolving blank

The Kentucky Court OF Appeals
has handed down its decision in the
case of the Board of Trustees of
Hartford Graded Schools VS.. the
Ohio County Board of Education in
which the former sought to recover
tuition fees from the latter for coun-
ty students. The Court upholds the
decision of the lower court dismiss
ing the petition of the Trustees on
the grounds that there is no record
showing that a legal contract nam
ing the tuition for common school
graduates existed between the two
boards. The petition states that a
verbal contract in this instance can
not be held as binding and points
out that a record should have been

Hartford Board was to receive four

AN HONEST OBITUARY
Marquette Tribune)

Frank Waller was unique charac-
ter. An honest comment is difficult
to make in a newspaper. We do not
want to say an unkind thing about
him. He put nothing into this world
and got nothing out of it. His hoard
ed wealth brought him an early grave,
and he could take none of it with him.
He was honest as he saw honesty,
obeyed the laws of the land when it
cost him nothing, neighbored with no
one, trusted no one, got all he could
and kept all he got. His uppermost
philosophy of life was false one
that is, that man with money in his
pocket must of necessity have friends
and happiness. He contracted no debts,
gave nothing to charity or public en-
terprise. knew nothing about the high
cost of living, travelled none, read lit
tie, never spent a cent "foolishly,"
never invested or gambled. Many a
lad of 10 has seen more Of life worth
living than he. He belonged to no So
cieties, fraternal or religious. He en-
joyed making good deals, in buying
and selling. He was sober, Industrious,
independent, a stickler for the last
pound of flesh allowed by law. He has
passed to his reward.

THE MAN WHO DOES THINGS

Not often does a man receive such
recognition as has r. A. Johnson of
Alkabo, the democratic nominee for
county commissioner in Divide coun-
ty. 1t appears that Mr.. johnson was
nominated for commissioner against
his own wishes, and that it is simply
a case of the office seeking the man.
Not until the people hal bestirred
themselves to see that he would con-
sent to accept if elected, by circulat-
ing petitions urging him to accept, did
they know for certainty that they
had their man.
Mr.. Johnson is not only Pm advocate
of public improvements for the better
ment of rural communities. but doer
His untiring efforts for good substan-
tial roads has been heralded in a great
many newspapers throughout the
state. He is not unknown in Minot
and Ward county, where he is recog-
nized as man of ability, and western
Divide county is to be congr atulated
in selecting man of Mr.. Johnson's
CALDER to serve them on the board of
commissioners. Men of his stamp are
only too few, yet sadly needle, in just
the capacity he has been asked to
serve, and there ought be no question
in the minds Of the people what their
DUTY may be at the coming election.

DRUG FIENDS AND THEIR PRO-

Ever since the federal anti-drug law
went into effect startling conditions
have been barred fom time to time. The
other day Chicago learned of an ex-
ample that impressed the great city of
the absolute necessity Of exterminat-
ing the drug traffic, or that portion Of
which still operates in secret subter-
ranean channels.
A couple had acquired the morphine
habit; and, as victims of this plague
usually do, they soon INDUCED them
selves to the maximum. They were
rapidly disintegrating and running
their lives at time when they should
have been in their prime.
They had child, an innocent girl
not yet in her teens. And this bundle
of humanity, which should have been
a joy and solace to her parents, took
the cue from her parents-or inherited

A DAYS LABOR NOW EQUAL
TO SIX DAYS IN 1879.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture in 1856 made an investi-
cation as to the time required to pro-
duce bushel of corn. They found
that it required four hours and 80 min
utes of human labor. From 1909 to
1912 similar investigation was made
in Minnesota. T. P. Cooper, then with
the Minnesota Experiment station,
now director of the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent station, in summing up the
results, finds that As minutes is the
time required to produce bushel of
corn now, or only one-sixth as long as
in 1855. In other words, a day of hu-
man labor now is worth more than six
times as much as in 1855, due to the
use of more and better machinery, bet.
