The Busy Bee restaurant will soon
be doing business again, at their To-
cation on S. Ninth street. When Mr..
R. T. Lain was burned out the 28th
Of last October, it left him with
number of boarders and roomers, but
no restaurant to do business in. The
boarders have been taken care of in
his residence on Grant street, just
across the block from their restaurant.
Mr.. Lain meanwhile started to re-
build, and has his new building nearly
completed, on the site of the building
which was destroyed by fire. The new
building is larger than the old one,
which will permit of carrying stock
of groceries on the first floor, besides
serving lunches and short orders at
the counter in front, and tables for the
regular boarders in the rear. A ce-
ment floor is being laid in the front of
the building. A cellar in the rear will
hold the steam heating plant, which
Mr.. Lain intends to use for heating
purposes. There will be a number of
bedrooms upstairs for the roomers,
besides ladies' waiting room up
stairs. 1t is Mr.. Lain's purpose to
build on the rear of the building now
being erected, making that part of the
building his kitchen, and bathroom,
besides refreshment room where
people may come and get soft drinks
in the summer time. Mr.. Lain is one
Of our Clarinda colored men who de-
serves much credit for the enterprise
he has shown in helping to build up
the town.

Bird. Long DIstanc. Flight.

A rancher living near Red Lodge,
Mont, shot large bird Of the hawk
family. Picking it up, he found that
the bullet had grazed and stunned It,
and that it haS no serious injury. In.
stead of killing it as he would have
been justified in doing in the protec-
ton Of the farmers fowls, he put q
paper bearing his name and address In
little bottle which he tied around
the birds neck. Two months after,

finding the name and address In the

ing the facts. The bird had flown b.

Steam Caves.
During the journey steam caves are
passed and frequently visited. At one
time Rainier was hugh volcano, and
while practically dead. there IS still
enough of the old fire left to make the
steam from some OF the assures in the
rocks unbearable to the ungloved
hand. The walls of these caves are
very warm and have saved many
climbers. who were caught on the
mountain in a storm from freezing to
death. A number of scientists have
spent several nights in the caves while
Jtudying rock and glacier formations.
After the flume at Gibraltar Rock
is passed the climbers go over two
miles of ice filled with crevasses before
the summit Is reached. This Is long
hard journey where one must watch
MS step every minute Oh the TIME,
especially II the sun is warm enough
to melt the snow which hides the ir-
regular gulies in the ice. Breathing
there is especially difficult and little
talking Is done. Everywhere caution
Is needed and strict obedience to the
guide.
When the top is reached there Is a
rest before a view is taken or the
summit explored. 1t is seen at once
that the summit has three volcanic
cratcrs. The largest one. partially

THE tremendous losses of the
French army, due to. inadequate
housing and sanitary provisions In the
concentration camps were carefully
considered in planning the American
buildings. The difficulty OF mak.ns
unframed men obey the sanitary reg
ulations of the regular army was fully
recognized. Consequently the design
of the buildings is being prepared with
view to the sanitary protection OF
the men. and the general sanitary fea-
lures of the cantonments have been
studied carefully.
In addition to the city itself, parade
grounds, manoeuvering spaces ana

The most interesting features OF the
form of contract are those governing
the financial relations between the

It is imperative that Gibraltar Rock
