FROM THE TRENCHES.
Montana Lad Has Marrow Escape
When Bomb Bursts.

Mrs. George Prue of this city Is
receiving some interesting notes from
her nephew, Frank NJ. Fulkerson, son
OF Harlan Fulkerson Of Phillipsburg,
Montana, who enlisted in Canadian
re giment and has been on the French
front for some months. p
In one report Private Fulkerson tells
OF narrow escape from monster
shell which wiped out all but three OF
his company. The letter was written
on July and says:
1T was the 4th Of July day before
yesterday and | did not realize 1t until
yesterday. People over here don't
celebrate anything. like that hope
am back in the U. $. A. next July,
but it is pretty hard to say whether
the war will be over by that time or
not. Don't look very favorable at
present as each side is just holding
their own on the western front.
Il am going to tell you little in
cident that happened to me over here
in France and then you can judge for
yourself what | think about religion.
We were up at the advance station,
Just back of the Dicky Bush farm.
(you probably have read about that
place.. We were standing just be-
hind an old barn and were under
heavy bombardment, shells bursting all
around us all the time. | had my
bible in my hand and something SEEM
ed to say to me run" / did, about
a hundred yards, and laid down in an
old shell hole. | had been there about
ten minutes when one of the shells hit
the barn and all but three of my
whole company were blown to pieces.
thousands of things like that hap
pen every day, so my way of believing
is in the Christian life. but it is pretty
hard to live up to it in the army.
Il cant think of anything to write
but war news and that gets stale so
give my regards to all your people. ;
In later card from somewhere in
England Mrs. Prue learned that young
F'ulkerson was in the hospital with a
hole through his leg, but that he was
getting along fine and expected to be
back in the trenches when he recov-
cred.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
Pine Creek Property Under Steady
Development.

Considerable attention is being d.
rected toward the Lookout Mountain
property on Pine creek where active
development work has been under
way for the past year and a half and
where a showing of carbonate lead
and silver ore was made near the
surface rivaling some of the big finds
of the early days. A ledge % feet
in width was uncovered practically at
grass roots in which were found a
number of shoots of ore carrying va
lues of 80 to As per cent in lead and
from 10 to Is ounces in silver. After
exploring the Vein at shallow depth
and determining the exact course OF
the ledge and its dip surveys We're
made for deeper workings and a cross
cut started to cut the lead at a ver-
teal depth of 800 feet Work has
continued steadily all summer in this
crosscut and the vein will he reached
within the next IS feet. Drifting will
then be carried along to reach the ore
uncovered in'the upper tunnel. Two
shifts were placed on the work the
first of the month. new accommodate
tons having been provided near the
lower tunnel. The property is located
near Beeler the Pine creek railroad

wheels, If much country driving IS
To he done in the middle west, or in
billy or mountainous country. The
front wheel skid is the most ter
ribIe thing in the world except apo
plexy or heart failure.
Most motorists are frightened into
chains after real rain. The most
danger. on the average, comes from
hitting a skiddish spot in the road
otherwise dry, and especially In the
middle of the summer season when
the roads are fine. The real motor1st
keeps a sharp lookout for these spots.
They fall generally into few
classes.
There is the sandy spot between
two hills or on long fiat. This Is
the hardest to recognize at any dis
lance in the summer. The sand may
not be deep, but it means million
ball bearings under your wheels,
each grain of sand being perfect
hall bearing. Approach them with
respect and pass them as IL they
were stretches of soap, slowly ana
with steering arms ready for light
ming quick movement.
The mud hole is easily discovered
and generally slows down even the
tyro. In addition TO figuring on how
YOU are going to get traction through
it without stalling, always remember
the tendency to skid.
More treacherous is the soft edge
of the road. 1t som etimes' looks per-
fectly normal and harmless when 1t
is most dangerous. The soil there
is rather loose; it stays moist long
after the roadway is dried hard !;
there is always a side slope into the
ditch. Never drive close to the edge
of the road unless forced there by
some road hog, and then always go
VERY slowly and be ready TO shoot
YOUR car into the roadway instan-
taneously the moment any wheel be-
gins to slip in the least.
The roads generally the best are
apt to be sloped too much from tie
middle to the edge to attain quick
drainage of the surface. When thes
