Tread lightly, she is near,
Under the snow;
Speak gently, she can hear,
Tie flowers grow.
All her dark raven hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was lovely and fair
Fallen to dust.
Coffin-bOard, heavy stone.
Lie on her breast;

She is at rest.
Peace, peace, she cannot hear

All my life's buried here
Heap earth upon it.

it would be completed into Mt.

On account Of some PROBABLE
difficulties arising in connection
with the routing Of the highway
at Livingston in getting over

tracks and yard to reach the pro-
posed bridge site at mouth OF
Round Stone, some of our Liv-

ful of the possibility of the road's

GRAIN GOSSIP
Opinions

Herald: Unconfirmed rumors were afloat yesterday that the government
 is to fix a price on corn. Those in a position to know the most on this point
 said they had no information of any such action to be taken. Those closest
 to the food administration say they have no knowledge of such a move, so far tr cir desire is to let corn and oats alone.
 Local and eastern traders who have
 watched operations in the corn pit say that the foreigners who have been
 largest sellers of corn for sometime past
 had covered the last of their line of the closing bulge
 Jackson and Broseau were credited with doing the buying for the Copen- hagen traders. A few weeks ago they were the largest sellers and had much to do with depressing values. For a week or moro they have been covering,
 most of their buying being done at the close of the day. New York advices late in the day said there was not likely to be decline in the market for sometime. More long oats came out on yester- days bulge than for a long time. One big line let go. The cash oats on de- livery the last few days have gone around very fast.
 Bartlett Frazier & Co.,: After such an evening ur in corn we would not be sur prised to see some reaction. Feel rather inclined to look for lower oat prices. Ware & Leland: Corn prices give prom ise of reaching higher prices Thompson & McKinnon: Believe any loss in oats will meet with a quick TO- covery.
 Logan: We look for sales of corn on
 bulges.
