April /.
However, tests have been made
over the great power line supplying
Of IS miles and thus far these expert
ments have been successful. The pow
er may be turned on in q, week or two
and not later than April 1, 1t is said.
All the work at this end Of the line
has been completed. and the finishing
touches are now being put on at
Crookston.
For the past several months . crew
Of men have been installing the poles
CrookstOn. at q cost to the Electrical
Development company of over 81, 500
mile. The work Of building the line
has been completed and the three dy-
namos have been made ready for ac-
tion to generate the $4,000 volts that
will be transmitted over the wires to
this city.
At the station of the Red River
Power company the current will be
reduced by the aid Of transformers
and distributed about the city for
commercial use and for lighting. Be-
tween Crookston and Grand Forks
several villages and farm homes will
also be connected up with the new
lines.
At the Crookston plant, located a
few miles from that city, the electric
ity is generated by water-driven dy-
namos at the new dam. Crookston
will also be supplied from the new
plant, but will only receive 1890
volts.
The extension Of the electrical lines
from Crookston to Grand Forks is one
Of the largest projects of the kind ev-
er attempted in the northwest. Grand
Forks has always had good service
from its power plant. but owing to
the rapid increase in the demand for
more 'juice" by the development Of
manufacturing Industries, the step to
obtain bigger and more powerful
supply was found necessary and the
construction Of the Crookston dam
and power plant furnished the oppor-
tunity desired,

bel, the base of the explorations. The
region to which DIR. Rice and the scien-
lists accompanying him are to give
their attention is bounded on the north
by the Guaviare river, on the west by
the Andes, on the south by the Ca
quota river and on the east by the Rio
Negro. The territory included in the
plan comprises parts of Brazil, vene-
zuela and Colombia
DR.. Rice has mapped about 100000
square miles Of this region. He pro-
poses to make survey Of the tribu-
taries OF the Rio Negro and to COM
plete as nearly as he can the maps of
enormous tracts yet practically unex-
plored.
So well equipped is this expedition
that 1t is expected that it will accom-
pl1sh more work in the six months it
VIII be away than could be done in
twice that period under ordinary con-
ditions. The yacht Alberta is In her.

the insects There are many flies and
mosquitoes that inflict painful bites
and cause disease To ward off the
flying pests DR.. Rice has had the Al
berta equipped with rustproof screens
of fine copper mesh, so that every
deck and every port hole will be pro-
tected.
There are other insects to be guarded
against, among them various kinds of
ants One of the worst of them is the
leaf cutting ant, the sauba, which will
eat up the ordinary tarletan mosquito
net as though it were so much cobweb.
In the account of one of his previous
expeditions DIR. Rice tells how the ants
devodred not only a mosquito net, but
pair of trousers and the pockets of
his coat The tabano or blood sucking
fly Is a menace to life in this part of
the Amazon basin. The chigos burrow
into the skin and cause intense suffer
ing. With the copper mesh screens
and with other appliances for warding
off the insects, the party expects to re-
duce the discomfort from this source
to the minimum.

Cambridge, Mass. - Every morning

Harvard senior, rolls over in bed
Seven o'clock is too early for q senior
to get up. so Mr.. Guild presses a but

No rising sun is going to make him
leave his bed unseasonably. Some

willing to take the chance, he asserts.
Getting up at Z a. IN. is high crime

Henry Guild framed up a motor, at

wires to his bedside. When the sun
throws its rays into his bedroom every
morning, weather permitting, he
presses button and the curtain fiops

Idaho Settlers

Boise City, Ida.-Two or three feet
of ice throughout the cave for its en-
tire length of about one-quarter of n
mile was found 10y Frank +. Spofford.
assistant supervisor of surveys. as a
result of the investigation he was or
dered to make by the commissioner Of
the general land office of the cave To-
Gated about twenty-five miles east OF
Dubois. Fremont county.
Mr.. Spofford describes the cave as
being about thirty feet wide over its
whole depth, with varying height Of
roof from FIVE to twenty five feet. He
penetrated its full length and found a
great unevenness of the base, evident
ly caused by falling rocks from the
roof.
The country in which the cave oc-
ours is a series of lava beds. and the
cave Is lava formation. There are no
Btalactites or stalagmites, and Mr..
Spofford suggests that the ice forma-
tions are due to seepage water that
has frozen. Ice is present all year.

we hadn't known each other for

You admit that you love me. What is
there that is to come between us?"
"Five or six million dollars, Les

the young mans. "And your mother

CHINA FINDS 1T HARD
TO DISBAND ITS ARMY
Soldiers Love Their Job, and II Not
Paid They Loot.

Peking-China's toughest problem
now is how to disband the army raised
during the revolution. The government,
hard pressed for money, win have TO
raise at least $3O,OG0,OO0 to pay off tue
100000 men under arms, and unpaid
soldiers are always q menace In CHM.
Coolies regard military service as ~
very desirable occupation. Once en-
listed it is difficult TO persuade them to
retire. They riot and become extreme
ly troublesome If an attempt be made
to disband them without liberal pay
ment. The commanding officers are
frequently as mercenary as the sol
diers. When the government fails to
give its soldiers what they regard as
adequate pay the troops frequently be-
come bandits and loot.
Each province has its own military
governor and distinct military organ
ization, presumably under control OF
the Peking authorities, but actually in
dependent in most cases. Consequent
ly the Peking government Is forced to
deal very automatically with the mill
tary organizations in the provinces
particularly in the remote provinces.

ter, and he made no attempt to con-
ceal his dislike for them. Angry re-
ordinations followed. Finally Rae
announced her decision to go back to
the stage. Lester forbade it.
For the first time since their mar
riage he realized how greatly the fault
had been his own. He had done moth
ing to accustom his wife to her
new life, while he had denied
her her own. He spent the better
part of a week searching for her.
Finally he was driven to admit that
she had carried out her threat; she
had gone with the intention of never
returning to him.
His obstinacy aroused, he went back
to his parents arms. 1t was not long

come extended by his friends, as to
a man who had made fool of himself,
but had repented, worked upon Les

the ground of abandonment. The
