BUCK SAVES FAWN
FROM SWIFT RIVER
Latter Falls Behind In Swimming the
Columbia to Escape From
Some Dogs.

Kettle Falls, Wash.-Ed Roper, a
farmer living on the Ferry county side
Of the Columbia river, saw three deer
driven to the Columbia river by dogs
and then forced to cross for safety the
other day. Roper had crossed to this
side of the river in a rowboat and
heard the barking Of the dogs near the
bank fthe river that he had left.
Three deer, a buck, a doe and a fawn.
sought safety by swimming in the river
and were swimming toward this side
when Roper hid himself in order not to
brighten the deer back again.
The fawn fell behind the others and
appeared unequal to The battle with
the swift cold water. and Roper
thought it would surely drown, when
the buck, which had been in the lead,
turned back and assisted the iawn
until the bank Of the river was safely
reached. The three deer then stood still
and rested for some time.

Good Enough
For a Servian
By ETHEL HOLMES

When the British troops were max
ing their way from Saloniki, Greece, to
assist the Servians in repelling the Bull.
garians the commander Of the English
advance was desirious of communicat.
ing with the Servians nearest to him
in order to arrange for a junction be.
tween the two forces. Entering a
peasants hut, he found a Greek fami.
ly,>the Oldest daughter being q pretty
girl of sixteen.
Would you like to earn these?" the
general asked of the girl, showing hel
a handful of gold pieces.
Her eyes sparkled, and she admitted
thatshe would.
"Well, then, take a basket Of eggs
and go northward, ostensibly to sell
them to such soldiers as you meet
One of the eggs will contain a mes
sage. Give it to the first Servian Off.
Ger you meet"
Suppose" asked the girls mother,
this egg containing the message falls
into~the hands Ola Bulgarian?"
"In that case,' replied the general
sit would go very hard with your
daughter. But" he added, eff she
manages well I think she will get it
through without anyYdniculty."
The woman looked&at the gold, then
at ,her daughter. The latter looked at
the gold and told the general that she
would undertake the mission. The gen.
eral called for Il basket of eggs and.

TO EXCEL THE FOKKERS.
American Airship Now Being Built
Will BE Six Times as Large.

~ S0''S
Will BE Six Times as Large.
G. Douglas Wardrop, editor Of the
Aerial Age, member of the Aero Club
Of America and American Society of
Aeronautic Engineers, told the cadets
and instructors at West Point that the
United States is developing a machine
Of the air that will be more powerful
than the Fokker machine recently built
in Germany.
we are developing a machine that
will represent the greatest achievement
Of men in aerial transportation said
Mr.. Wardrop. 1T will be six times
larger than any yet tried. 1t will carry
enough fuel to give it a cruising range
Of 600 miles at seventy-five miles an
hour. 1t will be propelled by seven mo-
tors, six of 16O horsepower and one of
forty.
THE machine will carry eight pas
sengers and possibly thirty with the
decrease Of n cargo of explosives. 1t
can carry more than ten tons. 1t will
carry a new gun which has no recoil
and which will throw a three and one
half inch shell. This is achieved by
having q double shot with a single ex-
plosion. One load will go in one direc-
tion-the shell; the other of sand will
go in the opposite direction, neutraliZ-
ing the recoil."
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1916-08-24

With that the officer in command
took up the eggs one after the other
and held them to the sunlight to look
through them. When he came to the
egg with the message, before raising
it to the light he held it in his hand
a moment to judge its weight.
This one is bad. l know" he said.
1T doesn't weigh the same as the
Others"
Maria's heart stood still.
The officer held the egg up to the
sun, and. since nc light passed through
it, he put it in the basket, saying:
my dear, if you meet with a Ser
Wan you are quite welcome to give him
that egg. 1t is not good enough for a
Bulgarian. but it is too good for a
Servian."
A way was made through the oh.
structions for Maria's cart, and she
drove away amid the laughter of the
men at their officers joke.
That was the last stop Maria made
The next men she met were some Ser.
Wan cavalry. She gave the egg to their
SoAulldllueI, telling ulQ IndL IL con.
tanned a message. He escorted her tc
his general, who took the paper from
the eggshell and read it with intense
interest. 1t named the location and
the date at which the British and the
Servians would form a Junction, and,
since this suited the Servians, Maria
had only to carry back an oral mes
sage stating the fact.
Strange to say, she had more diff
Guilty in getting back than in going
out. She was once detained overnight
and twice was searched. When she
finally reached the British outposts she
was taken to the general, who gave
her a kiss and the hundred gold pieces
promised her.
The exploit was very much to the
credit of the messenger, but it availed
nothing in the end, for not long after
ward the allies retreated to Saloniki.
Nevertheless though what the girl
did was of no avail in the end she
was very proud of it.

of a match, put it through the hole In
the shell, filled the remaining space
with sand, then sealed the hole with q
bit of white plaster.
The girl was expected to 30 some
distance; therefore a horse and cart
on the place were requisitioned to take
her. AS she drove away the general
bid her %godspeed, and if she got the
message through and returned safely
she should have a hundred gold pieces.
Possibly she might be intrusted with
a return message. but 1t had been ar
ranged by the one in the egg that it
should be oral.
Maria, the girl, drove along a road
leading northwestward till she came
to a picket guard Of Bulgarians sta
toned to prevent any communication
between the French and English and
the Serbians. Maria showed them her
eggs, and when they seemed disposed
to turn her back she gave each of
h men a couple of them. They were
very hungry; therefore the bride was
sufficient.
She next came to quite a large force
of Bulgarians, and the officer in charge
refused to let her pass. She made up
a sad story about her mother being i'll
and she had gone out to get some eggs
for her to eat. The officer referred
the matter to his commander, who,
moved by Maria's story, ordered that
a woman be employed to search her
and if nothing was found on her to let
her go on. The search was thorough,
the cart being also carefully looked
over. OF course nothing was found.
Then Maria gave away all the eggs
she did not need for her mother and
went on, having been given a pass
which would enable her to go as far
as she liked.
She soon met with a party Of Bull
Garians engaged in placing obstruc-
lions on the road. They stopped her,
but when she showed her pass they
were willing to let her go on. But,
being short of r%ations, they confiscated
her eggs. This frightened her.

FINISHES SURVEY
Of DEVILS LAKE
Prof. Chandler Has Discovered
Some Interesting Phe-
uOmeua.

Leeds, N. D., Aug. 26.-Prof. e. F.
Chandler head Of the Department Of
Civil engineering at the State Uni
versity Of North Dakota( at Grand
Forks, returned from the region of
Devils, Lake, where he has completed
a survey in the interest of the biologi.
cal department of the University.
| Prof. Chandler has discovered some
interesting phenomena in regard to
the lake region during his examina-
ton. Perhaps most startling one made
is that the eastern bay of the Lake,
| which some years ago was cut off
from the main body of water is at
present one foot and ten inches below
the main body of the Lake. The rea-
son for this difference is believed to
be due to the fact that the small lake
is fed by less springs and tributaries
than in the main lake.
The discovery of Prof. Chandler
comes as treat surprise to a large
number of inhabitants Of the region
and others interested in the topogra.
ply of the country as it was not
generally believed that the difference
in the levels Of the two bodies was
so great. In fact, until very recent
ly it was believed by some people
that the east lake was higher than the
big lake, and the Idea of digging
canal through the east section was
advised so that the main lake may
be filled.
Prof. Chandler in measuring the
present levels of the lake, finds that
the water has dropped Is feet since
1885, although at present the lake is
more than foot higher than it was
a year ago, on account of the heavy
rains of the spring. The period from
1888 to 1900 was one which the lake
went to the greatest amount, more
than nine feet of water disappeared
during the seven years. From 1900
the water remained at standstill for
a number of years and then began to
decrease gradually again as the dry
years followed on another. Last
spring being an exceptionally wet sea-
son the lake realized much benefit
from the surplus moisture.
