NOT SIGNALLING MARS
 JUST TRIANGULATING

OT several weeks uuSudI lights have been flashed forth
 from Bill Williams, San Fran
 cisco Peks, Mt. Floyd and other
 mountain tops, arousing a great
 deal of speculation as to their cause and purpose. Some have
 attributed them to natural phe-
 nomena, some have seen in them an attempt to signal
 Mars, while others with little more definite information at
 hand, have attributed them to the Geodetic survey character izing them as the latest and most effective method of vapor. izing Uncle Sam's, money Yet others look upon them as bit of accurate scientific work that will prove immensely valuable to coming generations.
 At any rate the lights have been wont to flash forth at night, shot from a powerful electric search light, and. pos sessing such intenity that they have shed an appreciable it. lumination over intervening farm yards, causing many 2 weary tiller. of the soil to arise from leaden slumber to learn what might be lighting up his homestead at such an hour.
 MT. G. l.. Catlin is the man stationed at the top of Bill Williams. A telephone call to him brought forth a broadside of thirteen to sixteen letter lin guistic proiectiles of the Geo. detic vocabulary, onlv two or three of which took effect. It. seems that this is the first time that triangulation has been em. ployed to establish the distance between various points in the surrounding landscape. Here tofore the curvature of the earth's surface has not been taken into consideration in measuring these distances. For mer maps have been found to be in error by as much as half an inch in a fifty miles map scale which is equivalent to four miles on the earth's sur face, which. bv the way. is just about the variation. between the distances up and down Bill Williams, as determined by mountain climbers.
 At present the gGeodetic sur vey is working west from AIbu- with signal stations on most of the important peaks this side of that division point. While the lights are used pri-, narily for measuring distances they serve also for means Of communication by means of he Morse dot and dash system applied to a speciakcode.
 The News has been promised snecial interview with Mr. Jatlin. and if we succeed in 'caring up 8 late copy of the 3ritanica and Century we may ,e able to tell something nnore f this interesting work another ime.

RED LAKE BARBECUE
 BIGGEST SUCCESS EVER

The Red Lake barbecue giv en this year under the auspices of the I. O. O. F., proved to be by far the most successful of the six annual barbecues thus far recorded in the history of Red Lake Valley. Upwards of four thousand people were in attendance, the various forms of entertainment were unusual ly good, and there was an abundance of delicious barbe- cued meat served with bread. coffee and pickles.
 So far has the fame of these barbecues spread that people came from all sections of the state and even from other near by states, to enjoy the unique delights offered.
 The public speaking was the biggest event of the forenoon. All of the most talented orators of the state and county were present and together thev kept the hupe audience snellbound with their united eloquence. Among the most noted orators present were: Governor Camp bell. Atty. General Wiley Jones .Tudoe Sanford. John Norton, F. $. Clarke. Congressman Havden. Jesse Royce, Judge Pattee and Wheeler.
 The boxing match proved the strongest. drawino card for the afternoon. The bout was he. tween Hurley and Amann. The decision was given to Hurley after three rounds.
 One particularly pleasant feature of the day was the ner. feet orderliness that prevailed turnout. Sheriff Harrington had taken special precaution to place a number of extra depu-- ties upon the grounds. and the presence of these may have served as a strong argument for peace and order. or it may have been that the huge crowd was composed entirely of orderly individuals. But whatever the cause, the fact that the entire affair went off so smoothly re- fleets great credit upon the management.
 From a financial viewpoint. the occasion was an unqualified success. Exact figures are not at hand but it is known that q very handsome fund was raised and will be devoted to improv.. ing the cemetery
