SPIRITS OF TREES.

The Malayans and other Johore ma

has a spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. The spirit Of the cam

Bisan-literally. "a woman" Her rest
ing place is near the tree, and when
at night a peculiar noise is heard in
the woods resembling that Of cicada,

ON THE MEXICAN BORDER

Action, always action, Is the
outstanding feature of this stir
ring romance by jackson Greg
DRY. "Dice of Destiny" is tale
of the Mexican border, about as
lively a spot as there is in the
world. The actors in the story
are interesting for themselves,
aside from their thrilling story
Ia fine old Spaniard living on
his ancestral estate this side of
the border; his viIlainous kins-
man, with his rascalIy accom-
plices; his entirely charming
granddaughter; his efficient
young American neiehbor, and
various Mexican bandits from
across the border. Love, dan
ger, fighting, a just retribution
and a happy ending-all the
elements of a thrilling tale are
here. And the tale is well told.

Risk Goes With Licenses.

Members of the city commission of
Trenton, have not as yet determined
whether they will grant the liquor
licenses of local dealers which will
come before them when they meet as
an excise board.
City Counsel Bird is of the opinion
that the commissioners may grant Ii
censes for the sale of vinous and
brewed liquors containing not more
than 2.75 per cent. alcohol. Dealers
will be given to understand, however,
in the event that the licenses are
granted, that the possession of
license does not free man from the
possibility of prosecution by the fed
eral government.
There will be no reduction in license
fees for dealers whose applications
are granted. The fee is $500 year
and the full amount will be charged.
An application for reduction of the
amount is contemplated, however, in
view of the fact that the receipts from
the business have fallen off since the
wartime prohibition went into effect

nearest railroad was so m les from

Owing to the fact that the construc-
ton work would need a great amount
of cement which would cost consider
able to transport, they built cement
plant near the dam and blasted the
raw materials from the surrounding
hills.
1910 found the dam completed,
making lake severtl miles back into
the hills, 1t was massive piece of
reinforced concrete, 200 feet high, a
quarter of mile long and tapering
toward the top. 1t is in the shape of
a huge arc. A roadway runs across
the top of it and is well lighted by
boulevard lights. There are huge
spillways at either side of the dam
controlling the amount of water to be
used for irrigating purposes.
A power plant is situated at the
base of the dam supplying the people
who have interest in it. Before the
dam was in use, the land below was so
dry that nothing could be raised. But
soon after the building of the canal
and bitches the results came in. They
were forced to make law to the effect
that one man or company of men
could own no more than $50 acres,
because certain persons, who realized
that cuttings of alfalfa season
were possible, took advantage of the
situation.
AS a person buys peice of land
it is the same as taking a share of
stock in the dam, now the people own
the dam and the government has been
repaid for its efforts, So the same
money used in the construction of
the dam is now being used in the con-
struction of other dams, with the
same financial scheme as originated
by Theodore Roosevelt.
