day morning, before the emDers npo cooled, s. Blum 6 Company began planning on a store building which they promise will eclipse all previous efforts, and which will be absolutely |fireproof from top to bottom. And they state the stock will be increased until every article required by 8 resi- dent of this section can be found be- reath the one roof.
 With this company in the van in rebuilding the destroyed section of the town, other buildings will surely be erected to take the place of those | turned, which will bring another prosperous summer like the past one. when every man who desired work could find it.
 MT. Andy Marovich, proprietor of Louie's Cafe. has also secured lease on the Dieringer building and will have a force of men convert it into a model restaurant. Mir. Marovich states that he will be ready for busi- ness in about ten days.
 Levy & Ross, who lost one of the finest pool and billiard halls on the coast, also will reopen within a short time in the old Gelineau building, but their quarters will not be nearly so commodious as formerly, and it is probable that they will have to erect a building before they can accommo- date their large patronage.
 The Empress theatre will probably reopen within a short time, Manager Pinkus awaiting a reply to tele- gram sent to A. B. Lathrop, proprie- tor of the Empress circuit. The Elm press was the only show house in the city and its loss will deprive our citi- zens of much amusement.

TWO POINTS WON
 BY HENRY FORD

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 3.-Henry Ford scored two points in the stato supreme court yesterday afternoon in the litigation begun against him by John F. and Horace E. Dodge, min crity stockholders of the Ford Motor Company.

For l from using the cash surplus of the Ford Motor company for expension purposes. be broadened and granted an alternative order in MT. Ford's pe- tition to have the injunction dissolv- ed. By the terms of the latter order the circuit court, which granted the temporary restraining order, is dir ected to modify it and let MT. Ford proceed with contracts he has madc, providing he files a bond acceptable to the lower court, or, if the circuit court refuses this, it is ordered to show cause why tEe entire injunction should not be dissolved.
 The Dodge Brothers want the Ford profits distributed as dividends. The decision on MT. Fords petition will permit him to proceed with the exc cution of contracts for the construc- ton of a large smelter furnace ne r Detroit. and the bond will protect the Dodges from any losses in that

 "Oh. you may recover yet" said the friend.
 That is impossible replied Bichat. ''and if it were not for one thing would be quite willing tOsdie."

The Most Prominent Are Affection, Gu.
 riosity and Sympathy.

riosity and Sympathy.
 Monkeys have excellent memories md keen observation and are able to ,ecognise their friends in a crowd even liter long absence. They are exceed ugly sensitive and sympathetic in the,r natures. Sympathy and curiosity. the two most prominent traits in the mon- key psychology. are significantly the two inost important facts in the psv- chology of man.
 Monkeys are the most affecuonate or all animals. excepting dogs and men. This affection reaches It's culminat;on. as among men, In the love of the mother for her child. The mother monkeys little one Is the object of her constant care and affection. She nurses and bathes it. licks it and cleans Its coat and folds 1t in her arms and rocks 1t as if to Hull 1t to sleep, just as human mammas do. She divides every bite with her little one, but does not hesi- tate to chastise 1t with slaps and pinches when it is rude. The monkey child is generally very obedient.
 The affection of monkeys is not con: fined to the love of the mother for her child, but exists among the different members of the same tribe and extends even to human beings, especially to those who make any pretensions to do to them as they would themselves be done by.-Exchange.

PRESIDENT SPRUNG SURPRISE

III CUdTdCIeTlStlC ldSulOu IISSluCht Wilson, without consulting any ex- cept perhaps his closest advisers, and contrary to the procedure he had said would be followed, surprised the country and the world by sending notes to the European helligerents asking them to state the conditions on which they would accept peace.
 This is one of the most inn ortant of series of dramatic events, which began with the peace proposal of Germany and her allies. It has at least set the world to guessing-and as was to be expected, part of it is su- preme,y glad and part of it is inclin- ed to be piqued by what it claims is the presidents effrontery. The pres ident's move has found an echo in the central powers where peace is de- sired, but not in the allied countries, who while losers up to this stage of the war, believe that ultimately they must triumph. The tone of the Brit ish press, which for the most part is vigorous in its opposition to the Will son suggestion, shows th2 feeling to- ward peace in the entente nations.
 Just what prompted President Wilson to make his plea has not been disclosed except in measure by Sec retary Lansing's explanatory state of Sfotn We are drawing nearer the verge of war and our position is becoming increasingly critical" and for these reasons the President was moved to find out what each belligerent seeks in order to shape our conduct i' the future. Also, he entertained the hope that his efforts might bring the war to an early conclusion.
 The greatest danger from such q move was the misunderstandings that might ensue in England. France and Russia. These nations be lieve that notwithstanding their enormous loss es and small showing in the present war that by standing pat they might win out. In other words they believe that the territorial prizes Will be so great in case they do win out that they can still take chance of defeat, for if they lose they are little the worse off, and by winning Russia could secure the coveted DardaEeiies and England Heligoland and Ger many's possessions.
 [ The allies realize that President Wilson has not been pro-German Tn his advocacy of peace at this time. They must realize that in spite of his refusal to protest against the inva- sion of Belgium that he is more an ally to England than to the Central powers.
 It is but natural that the British should take the view that it is no af fair of the United States if they in" sist on fighting it out. They feel deeply on the subject and offer good grounds for their arguments--but nevertheless England must adlnit that America is fighting her battles That hy supplying her with food and mu- nitions and money in immense Guan- titles we are depriving our peo- ple and enabling her to keep ID her fight.
 A world of discussion has been started by President Wilson's move, and if he can secure the consent of the belligerents to state the terms under which they will be willing to cease fighting, he will have earned himself a wreath and a niche among the inn nortals.
