Increased by One More
Nation.

plications for naturalization since the

MAGNIFICENT KAIETEUR

Che Of the greatest natural wonders
 n the world is the falls of Kaieteur, in British Guina. The valley through which the river flows, below the falls, is quite impossible, and probably no ne has ever reached the bottom Of the fall. The fall is TAI feet high, more than four times the height of Niagara more than three times the height of Bunker Hill monument, 200 feet higher than the Washington mon ument and 300 feet higher than St. Peters dome. A smooth but rapid r,"er. nearly 400 feet wide, flows quiet iy to the brink and turns quietly down ward. in it's fall it breaks into soft white mist and reaches the bottom in chaos of seething clouds. There is 6 gentle roar Only now and then, frcm the hidden caverns at the bot tom. a deep, thunderous growl arises, that gives some hint of the forces con- tending there.

PRINT NAME IN WATER

It was a British poet who sang something about a name ''writ in wat err but it remained for a clever Jap anese actually to print his name in the colorless liquid. Travellers from Osaka, Japan, tell of a merchant there who has a man write his advertise ments in water on the roadway by means of sprinkling cart with a per iorated revolving drum. The drum revolves with the wheels and as it does so traces oriental characters al ong the thoroughfare.

TIME TO ACT

To the Public
 It seems to me that one of the prin- cipal duties of the city administration is to protect the merchants who pay taxes and otherwise help to build up the town, against inherent peddlers who are constantly drifting in here without paying taxes and sometimes, even licenses and take away legiti- mate business from the local mer- chants.
 Failing to obtain relief at the hands of the council I would suggest to the merchants to organize a business men protective association like they have in other towns.
 It is my candid opinion that some thing should be done.
 Yours truly,
 A. GREENBAUM.

EVERYBODY SHOULD VOTE
AT SCHOOL ELECTION
Two Men Have Announced their Can
didacy for Director in the
Richland District

It is incumbent upon every resident
of the Richland district to lay aside
all affairs long enough next Saturday
to attend the school election and cast
his vote for the candidate who will
give the district the best and most eff.
ficient service. There has been ample
chance for Improvement in many aft
fairs connected with the local schools
for some time but the people seem to
be very apathetic when a chance is
given to remedy any existing evils
and then after election, come out and
yell their heads off about what should
have been done. This is a mighty poor
policy in any case. At present there
are two candidates, c. C. Harding and
Jack Roberts. Both are well known
and the result may be close. It is the
duty of everyone who has the welfare
of the community to get out, get his
wife out and his neighbors out and
vote.

Prof. Bobbit, of Chicago, is out
with a statement advising that child
rem in the schools be taught to use
typewriters instead of learning to
write. That may be all right, as few
OF them will ever need to write "long
hand" In the newspaper office the
editor or reporter who does not use
the typewriter is curio. And the
typewriter is used in all business and
professional Offices. The principle OBJ
