ed by the unselfish, splendid and 10y
al support or those with whom the
concern has done business.

| WINGED that the good will and conf
dence which has been enjoyed in in
creasing measure during these fifty
years will be an inspiration for still
greater achievements in service.
| That this Danielson company has
been a leader in it's field is indicated
| by the inventive genius that has

in the brief appended history, and it

in its early years the company did
not manufacture but simply dealt in
mill supplies made by other manu-

sold these supplies through travelling

Excavations were commenced on

the laying of approximately 1000 feet
of 6-inch water main. This is. a new
line, not a replacement, and will give
more adequate water service for the
residences and other buildings in that
high-lying section of the city. At the
present time that section is served by
4-lnch main, which will be contin-
ued as a sort of auxiliary to the new
line. The new line starts on Willzin-

place, and runs thence to Grand View.

where, as commander of division o.

government he is engaged in taking
up the scores of thousands of mines
that constituted what was called the

fences of mines that stretched across
the North Sea from the coast of Scot

removed work will cease for the win
ter for the sweepers cannot work to
advantage in the tremendous seas that
must be encountered there in the fall
and winter season. @
The work of removing the mines is

recent day the sterns of three vessels
of Commander Jacobs squadron were
| blown off by mines that were struck
or otherwise and exploded and a few
| days later the stern of another vessel
was torn off when a mine was hit.

crew hurled into the sea. A thrilling
rescue of a member of the crew
who had been hurled overheard
was made by machinist's mate.
Throughout the incident the discipline
of the crews matched the highest ira

another vessel of the fleet. while two
more went along as escort and was
safely brought into Scapa Flow, a dis

which were threatening death at every

gerous coast, where the crews braved
being wrecked to save the damaged

Lumber During Night

Because police failed to respond
to his urgent call for assistance.
Father Leo Patrick was forced to
spend several hours Monday night
watching lumber to be used in the
construction of the St. Cecilia's
cathedral, Fortieth and Burt streets,
from thieves.
Father Patrick was returning to

shortly after IL o'clock Monday
night. As he approached the vicinity
of Fortieth and Webster he saw
a truck drive up and stop. As he
approached he saw two men run
away from large pile of lumber at
Thirty-ninth and Webster and hide
in some bushes. This lumber was
taken from the cathedral.
Father Patrick called the police
at exactly 1910 o'clock he says, and
waited on the lumber pile till 2
o'clock in the morning. No police
arrived.
He then went to his room, where
he watched the lumber from his
window till daylight, but no police
came, he saws.
