dollars to S400 have been received
The new owners intend to start i'm

property and it may safely be pre-

rounded by property that has pro-
duced many hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars but for unknown reasons, have
been close down for years.
This is the second deal to be made
in the camp OF Masonic in the last
month and in all probability is the
forerunner of the predicted influx of
capita to western mining camps, of
which the mertorious camp OF Ma

Some men will not pay 81 year to

will cheerfully hand over 500 for a

II town building was like scandal,
everybody would push IT along.
Agassiz says full-grown man can
live ten days chewing the leather of a

Job, according to historical belief,
was a patient man, but he never was a
commercial secretary and had an i'm

Some towns don't do things to please
themselves but to worry their neigh
Dor.
More dangerous than any foreign
foe Is to endeavor to make one citizen
hate another.
A community is much like an egg.

become hard.

THE PRESIDENT PAYS
WAR DEAD TRIBUTE
Attends Funeral Ceremony for
5000 Soldiers at Hoboken
Army Pier.

New York.-"It must not be again"
With these solemn words, President
Harding Monday laid wreath on the
coffin OF the first American soldier to
die on German soil, at a funeral cere-
mony for 5000 war dead at the army
piers In Hoboken.
His voice husky and his eyes brim-
med with tears. the president gazed
at the rows and rows of collins. Then
he said
Zone hundred thousand sorrows are
touching my heart. II must not be
again. God grant that 1t will not be.
II do not pretend that the millen-
ial days have come and that there will
be no more war. | would wish ma
ton 30 powerful that none will dare
10 provoke its wrath"
Then In the great army shed on the
shores OF the Hudson. with Its stark,
whitewashed walls. there fell a silence
profound and deep. Mrs. Harding
could be seen weeping softly as she
looked upon the flag draped collins of
those who had given their all for their
country.
Then the president continued:
THE republic will never forget the
sacrifices these men have made
whether they lie In the soil OF the
homeland or the crimsonsd soil OF the
hattIefislds
