Winston Bros. New Moving the Sand
From Balkan Pit

Winston Bros. got under way dur
ing the week and have moved quite a
bit OF sand from the north side OF the
Balkan pit. The most OF the sand
moved during the week went into the
fills necessary for their tracks, but
that work is about done now and the
actual work OF hauling TO the big
dump will commence very shortly
Only one OF the engine has been
used so far, although another is ready
for action when needed II is ex-
pected that five OF them will be in use
when the job gets well under way
The big drag line is expected TO take
out the cut in about three levels and
the tracks when lowered into the pit
will, in the main. follow the same
grade used two years ago when the
deep work was inprogress.
The Alpha work is in charge of Mr.
Oaks who came here during the week
from headquarters to take charge.

NEW SCHOOL THREATENED.

The new school south Of Alpha had
n narrow escape from being burned
down last Thursday afternoon as the
result OF forest fire that started
about 400 feet to the south Of the
building and crept to within about IL
feet OF tho woodshed when the men
who were fighting the FIRE managed Il
turn II away
The fire evidently started from some
slumbcring cmbers left over from r
clearing fire on one OF the farms. The
wind came up very strong Thursday
and famed the slumbering embers i'm
to blaze. Word was sent in to supt
Bishop, who organized a force OF FIRE
lighters and went to the place IN an
automobile. The men succeeded ir
staying the flames and turning them
around the building. Four men were
left to watch the building during the
night and they remained until ali
danger was over.

EDITORS AND ERRORS.

Somehow or other" walls a
southern editor, few people ever
take the trouble to fatter the editor
when he's in his best form but let
him slip Just once and there is any
army of pestiferous critics at his
heels"
Well, the editor shouldn't expect to
be dattered. The editor, indeed,
should at the beginning of his edit
orial career be given to understand
that he will receive no more applause
for his rigid righteousness than Cea-
sar's wife got for being above suspic-
ion. Mrs. Caesar didn't bewail her
fate when nobody came around TO
tell her how proud the people were
OF her unblemished reputation. On
the contrary, she would have been as
made as heck II syncophantic ac-
quaintances had suggested that the
people were elated over her success
in avoiding the attention OF the scan
dal mongers. Such suggestions might
have implied that her immunity was
the result OF her good luck rather
than of her irreproachable character,
and that would be enough TO make
any lady peevish.
Just so with the editor To not
make slips is expected Of him, and the
fact that he doesn't get any praise
for not making them signifies that he
will catch Old Billy when he does
make them.
All editors. to be sure, do make
slips The only way for an editor to
keep his life endurable Is TO make
just as few mistakes as possible. This
is such a pressing condition that
many editors never say anything orig
inal or forceful for fear it will be mis-
interpreted or receive an inconvenient
personal application. Such an edit
or learns TO qualify every direct
statement he makes by covering II
with exceptions or smearlng it with
unctions calculated to neutralize the
effect Anyhow, why does anybody
want TO be. an editor? And, as for
that, why is an editor?--Mining Jour
nal.

American newspapers have pub

cupied by the United States squad

declared
The Italian Embassy is author

Italian diplomats are openly ag-
grieved at the propaganda campaign

tions in the Adriatic.
They point out that the Jugo-
Slavs are contending that the
Italians still hold to the Treaty of
London. while as a matter of fact.
Italy openly renounced the Dalmat-
ian claims several months ago when
