COSMOS TO OPERATE
MILL AT ST. LOUIS;
WAS LUCKY EXTENSION

C. NJ. Heron, of Baxter Springs
trustee for the Cosmos mine at st
Louis, will place in operation this week
the big mill which has been moved
from the Lucky Extension lease neal
Douthat to the Cosmos lease.
B. F. Hoskins, also of Baxter
Springs, the contractor who has
charge of the rebuilding, says that all
Is in readiness and that the mill can
be turned over at any time.
While the plant is Of practically the
same capacity as it was before it was
moved, it appears to be about half
so large as several changes have been
made by Mr.. Hoskins. Two jigs have
been left out and in their places three
dewatering screens have been in
stalled. A part of the jig room has
been taken off and a boiler room has
been entirely separated from the main
building.
Instead of the deep orange color
that marks the mills of the Lucky
companies, the Cosmos is Of q blue
color and no one would recognize it as
the Lucky Extension.
The plant is equipped with four jigs
and ten tables. It is one of the finest
plants in the field.
Contractor Hoskins is a veteran
mill builder. He built the Montreal,
The Barr and Wilson Of the Vinegar
Hill Company, the Admiralty No. l
and the Ramona of this district.

.(Henry Van Dyke in the Red
 F'lower.) Lights out" along the land, Lights out" upon the sea. The night must put her hiding hand Ger peaceful towns where children
 sleep, And peaceful ships that darkly
 creep
 Across the waves, as if they
 were not free. The dragons of the air, The hellhounds of the deep, Lurking and proving everywhere, Go forth to seek their helpless prey, Not knowing whom they maim or
 slay-
 Mad harvesters, who care not
 what they reap. Out with the tranquil lights, Out with the light that burn Set back the clock thousand
 years, All they have gained now disap-
 pears,
 And the dark ages suddenly re-
 turn. Kaiser who loosed wild death, And terror in the night God grant you draw no quiet breath. Until the madness you began Is ended, and long g-suffering man, Set free from war lords, cries,
 Let there be Light" ,"

It is unnecessary to say that The Empire is dis appointed in the result of the municipal eecton-a result that due in large to confi- dence. The knowledge of those who were behind the Citizens ticket that they unselfishly working for the advancement of Juneau and her welfare was clear that they took it for granted that the people of the community would rally behind their candidates They knew that they deserved endorsement from the people
 However, no good purpose can be served by cry ing spilled milk. The need for cooperation and harmony is great with Mayor Valentine at the head of the municipal government it would be with someone else. It is just much the duty of Mayor Valentine to work with the other business men and others of this city who ready and anxious to do all within their power to promote community growth and development it would have been the duty of Mr. Shattuck to do had he been success full the polls There should united at all times for the advancement of this city along all lines
