was taken back to his home Satur-
day in a very enfeebled condition.
He had reach that stage where he
needed the personal attention of his
own people. In the mixed assem-
blage Of the ward, he. had received
some injuriees that showed in the
nature OF marks and bruises, and the
writer is unable, to say whether they
were the result Of i'll treatment or
collisions with other patients. Pro-
bably nobody but the attendants
know asEto that.
After Mr.. Smith had been at his
home for; a few hours and had been
fed BY loving hands he, began to get
better.,y He is unable; to talk, his
throat being partially paralyzed. It
was said that whenever anyone ap-
preached his couch, he would put up
his hands I'm the position that one
would take to ward off blows from
his face and head, but when the
writersapproached the bed and spoke
to- shimshes showed no such signs. He
shows no sign of recognition Of any
one excepting his grandchildren. He
manifests pleasure and eagerness
when they appear.

7" George Bolton, son-in-law of l.. J.
Post, returned recently from France
and has been spending a short time
here visiting with relatives. Mr.. Bel
ton is a native Of Canada and spent
three years in active service in the
trenches before he was wounded.
After ! being severely tgassed the
second time he anticipated that he
would be sent to- the United States,
but instead he was placed in the
trenches once more, ,,, t,an sIJ.,f..
Mr.. Bolton will not make his
home here as the altitude does not
agree with him. He will return to
Canada very shortly and find a suit
able location before his wife and
baby join him. The government will
prepare Mr. Bolton to capably handle
some desirable and suitable work. t.i
ITO listen to the experiences of Mr..
Bolton makes one marvel at the fact
that he was permitted to- Withstand
such trials and hardships. His es-
cape was narrow in many instances.
He spoke or three allied soldiers him
self one Of them, being cut of from
their regiment with q monster ma
chine gun for their protection and
being attacked by fifty-two, Huns.
The never -ceasing action Of the Lewis
gun and the steady nerve of the three
soldiers finally brought them out
victoriously.D Fifty-one of the Huns
were killed instantly and one who
kept at a greater distance made his
escape by running away. -nihenA4.ri

Father j. F. Gresel is disturbed
by information coming, from the
poorer, Mexicans !, at, the Mexican
quarters to the effect that many
families are destitute and must have
aid or steal or starve.- Some Of them
have come to him for christenings,
and were so thinly clad that he made
inquiries, and was told that there Is
much suffering.

1T was Father Gresel's understand
ing that the Mexicans had been
rather more prosperous last sum-
mer than they. had been BEFORE and
did not lay up, money for winter, or
not in sufficient amounts, They spent
their money freely In summer for
clothes and Injuries, and went into
winter Quarters with very little but
the quartersat elf he finds, that they
are Of, destitute as they have reported
to him, he will, call upon the COM
munity to look over their supply Of
old clothes once more and see what
they can spare tor the sufferers. WV
M. Later: Since the above was writ
ten, Father Gresel and Father Van
Dsrdonkt visited the thirty families
living near the factory and found
some Of them with no food, fuel nor
bedding and only scanty clothing.
Some had q little Of these things but
not enough for comfort. Some take
turns keeping up the fire while the
others sleep about the stove. ds Two
or three women had newborn babes
and little or no clothing, for them,
and just have to stay in bed to. keep
the child warm. In Q number OF
places they have enough simple food
to last a week or two, and they are
dividing with others. AT one place
they had three sacks of flour and
some other provisions. One large
husky man said he had had no work
since September and they were des-
situte. There could be no excuse for
him unless he was III during the

comes to the worst, they may be ex-

EDITOR SUGGESTS
Chapter VI

For the transportation GOt graVel
for road work, coal for fuel and beet
pulp for stock food I Iiwould, d,use the
railroad dump cars and build high
lines or trestles according to- plans
mentioned in chapter five. mHd9am 81
gHi 9TG q, sEn9uhHt 9ht atiW SiTlf
7u3 Location Of High Lines
1.-The location Of these high lines
i suggest as follows: One Just north
of Blackfoot and. directly posite
the sugar factory, where the switch
has already been built and could be
raised and extended. to that point for
the trestle. The lay of the land
would make 1t easy to run the trains
up on the tfestle and take advantage
of the natural elevation. u Another
high line should be built west OF
Blackfoot, where the Mackay branch
leaves the bench and the trestle
could be built out past the canning
factory ION the low ground; very
short switch and short pull would
put the train on top Of the high line.
Z Big Distributing Points ,',,,
h From these two points the gravel
couldNbe distributed along the road
leading northwest from Blackfoot,
paralleling the railroad; the road
leading north toward Rose and the
PorterviIle bridge; and the roads
leading eastward into the Wicks
country. q From there the coal could
easily be transported into. Blackfoot
and while the haul would be q little
longer than it Is under, the present
method, the quick operation Of load
Ing the wagon or motor truck would
more than make up for the loss that
Is suffered under the present system
sof loading coal by hand. Most Of the
coal for town is handled or motor
trucks already and in another year o.
two probably all OF II for the town
will be handled with trucks. Driv.

few moments when q truck u in ,0p'
