Work Of reducing the tail-race be
low the Consolidated Pulp and Paper
Mill is progressing nicely. The steam
drills were moved to new position
Saturday, and the blasting will be done
from now on, little farther from the
paper mill. The coffer-dam is nearly
completed to take care of most of the
east half of the tail race.
Since the Insulation of the steam
drill by the city in the new engine
house foundation, more rapid progress

In another column of this issue we
publish a prophecy made by monk
in 1701 in which he prophesied that
the present war would take place and
that it would last three years and "a
bout five months. This being true,
our present war troubles will end on
or before the holidays. We hope this
prophesy is true, and that the nations
of the earth will be at peace during
the coming Ule-Tide. Part of the pro-
phesy has already been filled and there
is no reason why the rest of it should
not be- The signs that are already
prevailing in Russia, Austria and Italy
may bring about a sudden change for
the better. Let US hope so.
