A PATRON OF ART.
q. was Q Good Buffer, but De Whit
Called His Hand.

Called His Hand.
Peter de Whit, the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have semiprivate show Of
his pictures before sending them to the
water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, Of course, ap-
reared at the public exhibition marked
"Sold." ....
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
natron Of art and at the same time to
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him most
and. having seen them, he could never
content himself with less beautiful
works. .... ~ ..... .a.s ...s. .:......, e
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
After plenty Of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends to make their
purchases, the rich man arrived. As
usual, his eye soon fell on two "per-
feet gems marked "Sold." Turning to
the artist, he said, "Now, De Whit,
those are exactly the things 1 should
like to possess; what a pity they are
not to be had"
"My dear SIR" said the painter, slap
ping him on the back, II knew you
would like them, so put the tickets on
them to keep them for you."

With the present serious condition
regarding fuel, it WOULD seem ad-
visable If Log drive could be brot
down from the timber. It would not
give immediate relief, but it would
be move in the right direction.
While our weather remains mild, the
fuel shortage will not be so keenly
felt, but should we get heavy fail
Of snow and the weather turn cold
with the present fuel shortage it
would be a different proposition.
There are hundreds of cords of re-

caught between the large steel ro S
where the grain is ground, and be-
fore the machinery could be stop

who is in charge OF the Mill, was

to his assistance, While another

Mr.. Christians first thought was to

MAKING RAPID PROGRESS.

The Little Willow Greek people
must have had a hunch from the
weather boss. They have contemplat-
ed building a reservoir for several
years, but no time in 10 years hes
the weather been more favorable
than this, and they have been max
ing good use of the time They have
everything in good shape and if
the weather continues, will soon
have the entire plant completed.
The main dam at the reservoir is
now more than half completed, and
much work has been 6ore on the di-
version dam near the D. B. Goats
ranch. The bitches and canals whi h
are being constructed by sub-con-
are also nearing completion.
