Strenuous efforts are being made by

pleted by August l. The work may
not be finished by that date. but it is

determined there will be no action on
the application of that company for
financial relief. The commission is
expected to say at the time the val
uatlon is announced what rate of re-
turn is to be allowed and to establish
a rate or rates of fare that will pro-
duce such return.

1t is considered probable the tenta-
tive valuation of $4,000. 900. on
which the two-cent transfer order
was based. will be increased Any
change in that figure must amount
to revision upward. it is stated. as
it includes no items about which
there is disagreement. If any of the
controverted items still under con-
crease the tentative valuation to that
extent
The commission. according to its
present plans. will announce the val

probable that Commissioner Gardiner.

These spring detonators were

"One night l received a call from
our lieutenant colonel who had
spent the day directing movements

to send him a squad of engineers

THE colonel sat in the dugout,
about ten feet down, on a chair by
a table Directly in front of the
chair was a petrol can and it was
the can he feared. He had noticed
it early in the morning when the
dugout was first occupied. but had
been so busy during the day he had
had no time to examine it until ev-
ening. Then he found nothing, but
he had a bunch that it was a trap
and wanted expert assistance.
II dug a little trench around the
can, but could find no wires, and
then tapped it, but received no
sound other than that which might
come from any old empty can.
There was nothing to do but open
it ;. and borrowing the colonePs can

eight pounds of one of the most

been fastened to the bottom of the
can in such way that il the can
had been lifted from the floor of
the dugout the charge would have
exploded and the colonel and his
party would have been blown to
bits.

been associating with all day, and

thrown upon them and receive less

The examination Of Amos was set
down for Monday and the people of
the village were stirred and shaken
by widest rumors regarding the evil

and women stopped me in the street
to ask what knew Of the murder. I
followed the advice Of Bishop Per

were done I went alone to the grain

farm with fail and measure and broom
and fork and shovel and sacks and my
luncheon. In a pushcart, with all of
which Mrs. Wright had provided me.
It was a lonely place with woods
on three sides Of the field and a road
on the other. I kept laying down
beds Of wheat on the barn floor and
beating them out with the fail until
the sun was well over the roof, when
l sat down to eat my luncheon. Then
l swept up the grain and winnowed
out the chaff and filled one Of my
sacks. That done, covered the floor
again and the thump of the fail eased
my loneliness until in the middle of
the afternoon two Of my schOolmates
came and asked me to go swimming
with them. The river was not forty
rods away and good trail led to the
swimming hole. 1t was warm. bright
