Che largest saw min u thc world and which win bc used exclusively for Che purpose of cutting spruce for ocroploue con- strucuou for use in the ozone and azure that intcrycncs between Ger many and Che Armament of Heaven.
 The vast prairie country contig- uous Co Che foothills of thc Olympic mountains contains billions of feet of Che finest spruce in America and IMr. Henson writes his father that 2.OOO experienced woodsmcn are now engaged in cutting down and getting out logs for Che big saw lmu which is being rushed to conn pIetion as rapidly as possible and which vii have a capacity of over ono million feet of lumber daily.
 A railroad i2 miles in length, a branch Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. is being constructed to thc new mill and system Of feeder tracks wHi be built throughout the timbercd region Co facilitate tho work of getting the logs to the mill.
 The United States government is i'm charge of the mammoth undertak- ing and will conduct it until Che end of the war. when the industry will be taken over by a private corpora tIon. presumably the Chicago, Mil waukce G st.

 The fact that the government is going SO extensively into the spruce lumber business bears out the be- | lief that reports to the effect that future warfare on Germany will bc

 in sixteen fights, was seven times over the top. and in Che last fight, October 22 last. he was wounded in thc breast by two rifle bullets He was sent Co the rear badly torn by the bullets and was transferred to the hospital at Guiltord Surrey where he was three months rccov- cring. He was then given several months leave of absence, and allow cd to come Co Canada, and chose Co come back to visit his old Dawson home and see his friends here. He ls in his full military uniform, which was worn at the front, and wears on his left sleeve tho golden stripe. indicative of having been wounded. He left England for Yu- kou February 23, and says he was happy Co have met Captain Black and to have received a warm greet ing from him a short time before starting for Canada.

The year 1918. when years and
 ages shall have circled away. will
 have a place on a red letter page in
 history as the year in which no
 rain fcll in tho Gastineau Channel country on the Fourth Of July No year has passed without a Fourth of July. and no Fourth of July, SO far as the memory of man runneth back, has passed without rain in the past But yesterday the record was broken. From early morn until time to wind the clock clouds hov- cred uloft even as flies hover over molasses barrel with a leaky bung- hole i'm a country grocery store where farmers congrcgate syrup ticiously, but not a drop Of rain fell mot that it would have dampencd the ardor that pcrmeatcd the sys- tcms of Islanders even if it had, for the ardor that reignod here could not have been dampcned with a gar den sprinkler.
 I'm keeping with the mild and pleasant weather. everybody was imbucd with the spirit of tho day from early morn until the Home Sweet Home waltz was walked at half past midnight. Tho "doings" Of the day started at 9:3O in the fore noon when the hose races took place and that feature of the pro- gram was a mighty interesting one. the teams expected to make the best showings failing and the teams least expected to mako records carrying on Che ready John Davis.
 Bandmastcr Carl Erickson had a splendid lineup and an day tho quality of music especially written to be played on the Fourth Of July made tho very air resonant with pa riotism and harmony.
 The exercises in the Lyric theatre were u keeping with the unpar- aIclcd conditions now prevailing throughout America as the world rcplotc h the teachings of the prln- ciples of liberty and love of coun- try. The theatre was packed to its capacity and the audience as well as tho beautiful and appropriate dec orations an fairly bonmcd with theI spirit of Amcricanism and patriot ism
 Mayor Elmer F. Smith presided and announced Che various features of the program, which opened with "Amcrico" by the band, which was followed by a splendid address by Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr. who, with Mrs. Riggs and their two chil- drcn, were here for Che day, and who appeared before am audience of Islanders for thc first time. The governor not only made a great hit with our people but he made one of thc best and most patriotic speeches ever heard in this part Of the coun- try. Governor Riggs in his splendid effort yesterday called things by their right names and convinced his hearers that he is American to the backbone and is thoroughly conver- sant with the history of his country and of Che world.

 During the exercises in the thea trc Chairman Smith read a telegram just received by Governor Riggs an nouncing the appointment of P. R. Bradley 10 the position of Food Ad- ministrator Of Alaska. which posi- ton was left vacant by the much lamented death of the late Judge Gunnison The announcement Of Mir.

The tele- gram was from National Food Ad- ministrator Herbert Hoover and the appointment was made on the rec ommcndation of Governor Riggs.
 The exercises at the theatre closed with the National Anthem by the band and the vast crowd dispersed to meet again on the ball grounds at 1:3O o'clock in the afternoon.

RUBBISH CAUSES
NUMEROUS FIRES
IN ALBUQUERQUE

Clean up your premises and keep
them clean. and you will eliminate
one-fifth of the fire risk which con-
stantly hangs over the head of every
property owner This is the advice
glver out by the Chamber of Com
merce, backed by figures furnished
by the city fire department, which
show that thirty out of the 1853 fires
occurring in Albuquerque during the
past year were caused by rubbish
piles, ash heaps and other litter left
living around buildings and back
Yards. Next to adequate fire insur-
ance, says the Chamber of Commerce,
a city-wide cleanup of rubbish is the
most effective action that citizens can
take to protect their property.
The chamber also points out that
the rise in cost of building materials
has increased the replacement value
Of every home and building in the
city, and hence increased the need for
insurance protection and common
sense precautionary measures. 4 back
ward full of weeds, or barn or attic
full of rubbish, is not only a standing
menace to the home, but to the
neighbors as well. All citizens are
urged TO put their premises in spic
and span condition before winter sets
in. A clean yard ,hegets home pride
as well as civic pride, and makes q
better citizen.

WILSON 5 ATTACK
ON SENATOR FALL
BENEFITS LATTER

b. C. Hernandez. candidate for
congress, and Manuel Martinez. can
didate for secretary of state. arrived
in Albuquerque yesterday fresh from
a campaign trip which took them
over much of the state, and they were
enthusiastic in speaking about the
outlook for republican success at the
polls on November 5. Perfect har-
mony exists IN Tie party ranks every
where and the republicans Will face
their opponents on election day not
only with solid front of their own
party members. but they expect to
poll the bulk of the progressive vote,
and draw heavily from the demo-
cratic ranks.
1.-THE presidents appeal to return
democratic congress" said Mr.,
Martinez yesterday, "and his attack
on Senator Fall have acted as
boomerang. The people are inclined
to the opinion that the presidents at
titude savors strongly of autocracy;
that Mr.. Wilson is trying to set up
what Senator Fall described in his
convention speech as a government
of men and not of laws The voters
seem to think. and rightly so. that
they have sufficient intelligence to
vote as their conscience dictates and
do not propose to be led around by
the nose"
1t is predicted that the presidents
criticism Of Senator Fall will influ-
ence many democrat to vote the
republican ticket. while the republi-
cans are also assured of the bulk of
the independent vote.

URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE II. SMITH. VI. d.

Uric acid is now generally recog-
nized as the cause Of more diseases
than was heretofore believed When
the kidneys arc out of order uric
acid accumulatcs within the bod in
super abundance. The disordered
kidneys do not filter the poisons out
of the blood. as they ought to do. and
so the poisons remain in the blood
and float around until they find a
place TO lodge. in form of urate salts,
The thing to remember IS that you
may have rheumatism IN any part Of
the body--you may have pans any
where-your back may ache and your
head may be diz2y--but the trouble
is in the Kidneys and what is inc first
thing to do? You must get That eX-
cess uric acid out Of your system,
which can be done BY taking Anuric
Tablets, the Splendid remedyo which
DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo, n. Y. has put
on sale in the drug stores at low
price. Anuric Tablets tmade double
strength). when taken into the sys-
tenn as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop BIT OF sugar or
salt into hot water, and it VIII disap-
pear. In precisely the same way 40
these Anuric Tablets dissolve uric
acid OF course, after riddingj the
system of uric acid. it may return
again unless you eat the right foods
and live the right kind of life. but
DR.. Pierce will advise you fully on
proper food and correct living # you
write and ask him. He makes no
charge for such advice, Take Anuric
| Tablets TODAY. by all means. and get
that uric acid out of Your system
Don't, don't, don't put the matter off
