The engine shown in this picture may
be seen at any time in the basement OF
The Register building, where it was in
stalled by us 10 years ago at a cost Of
500, Shortly after the installation OF
this engine The Register Company
adopted electric power throughout, and
as a result this engine was practically
abandoned except for emergency. The
result is that, although the engine is
10 years old, it is practically in just as
good condition as when it was set up in
our basement, and considering that
motor power Of all kinds has recently
jumped much in price, anyone who
could find use for this substantial en-.
CINE can avail themselves of a real
bargain in the purchase of it at 5000
cash.

BLAZE AT LYMAN DAM.

Saturday night confagration occurred at the Lyman Dam.
 MT. and Mrs. Johnson and others came to town to attend the show "2O,OOO Leagues Under the Sea" and while they were here the cook house, dining room and bunk house and a small room oc- cupied by Mrs. Susie Penney were burned down.
 The blaze was started by the explosion of a small can contain ing gasoline, which had been brought into the bunk house by a Mexican work hand for the pur- pose of starting a fire. The Mex ican thought that he had kero- sene. He placed the can near the stove and the heat caused the gasoline to explode, throwing fire all over the room.
 Everything was saved from the dining rooms and most every thing in the cook house. But all of Mrs. Tenney's articles of wear ing apparel were destroyed.
 
 We are informed that the loss was partly covered by insurance.

will be molten in a new furnace and see the peaceful beginning of an ethical era. The man de termined to this mission is a Mon- golian Slav. He is already walk ing the earth-a man of active affairs. He himself does not now realize the mission assigned to him by a superior power.
 And behold the flame of the third torch. which has already be- gun to destroy our family rela- tions, our standards of art and morals. The relation between man and woman is accepted as a prosaic partnership of the sexes. Art has become realistic degen- eracy. Political and religious dis turbances have shaken the spirit ual foundations of all nations. The race wars in Africa have strangled progress for half cen tury. But. then. in the middle or this century, l see a hero of literature and art rising from the ranks of the Latins and purging the world of the tedious stuff of the obvious. It is the light of symbolism that shall outshine the light of the torch of Commer- cialism. In place of the polygamy and monogamy of today there will come a poetogamy-a rela- tions of the sexes based funda- mentally upon poetic conceptions
 of life.
 And I see the nations growing wiser and realizing that the allur- ing woman of their destinies is after all nothing but an illusion. There will be a time when the world will have no use for armies, hypocritical religions and degen- crate art. Life is evolution and evolution is development from the simple to the more compli- cated forms of the mind and body. I see the passing show of the world drama in it's present form, how it fades like the glow | of evening upon the mountains. One nation of the hand of Com
 mercialism and new history be- gins. Kansas City Star.

 The work is being done by D. K. Udall and John P. Rothlisber- ger. This is a piece of improve ment that should have been done by the people years ago and it will now insure plenty of water for the city when filled to it's present capacity.
