AlI-Electrlc PAPER Mill.

A large paper mill at Vargo. Swed-
en-, was recently rebuilt upon the most
modern lines. Formerly 10000 tons OF
coal were consumed annually and the
problem of maintaining this supply
was very serious one. but ut the
present time there is no coal whatever
consumed at the plant. The boiler
house contains seven electric" boil
ers, each of 5000 horsepower, and the
current enters the boilers at a pres
sure of 10000 volts without having TO
be stepped down. Each of the boilers
is provided with three electrodes, and
the coupling arrangements are such
that steam generation can be regulat-
ed within 8 per cent. II is stated that
full steam pressure can be raised In
from five to ten minutes after switch
ing on the current, and considerable
economy In attendance is obtained, as
compared with coal firing.

Canadian Fisheries Important.

The Canadian fisheries produce
about S50,000,000 a year. and the in
dustry gives employment to about 100,-
900 people. with about 10000 on the

water fisheries and approximately 90
600 engaged in canning, curing and
otherwise dealing with the fish, accord
ing to q statement made by Prof. T.. Il.
Prince. Dominion commissioner 0f

were some COO varieties of Canadian
edible fish. of which only about $50
were known, while hardly more than

to vote on the proposition, among 9TH
ers, of granting to the state enough
ground, east of the woods on the City
Park property, for the construction Of
armory facilities. Now that Battery
f of the Michigan National Guard
Field Artillery is fully organized and
activities are well under way, and
equipment beginning to arrive, the
paramount question Of Importance
and interest is permanent drill
ground, armory, stables and other
necessary buildings. The present
quarters on State street are well
adapted to house the activities of the
battery temporarily, but in order to
assure the local unit that permanent
armory will be built by the state in
st. Johns within the next two years,
it is necessary to secure site, and
have the deed filed with the state
authorities as soon as possible. The
state furnishes the funds to build and
equip the buildings, but the site must
be procured and decided to the state
by local efforts. The 1921 legislature
appropriated funds for the next two
wears to build a limited number of
armories to cost $4,000 each; and the
armories will be built in the order in
which deeds are filed. Enough such
deeds are already on file for the COM
ing fiscal year, but if st. Johns can
secure its site within the next month";
it is certain that our armory will be
built during the fiscal year 192223
1t is customary for cities to give the
land necessary for armory and drill
field construction to the state, and in
view of the splendid start that the To-
cal battery has made it seems certain
that the citizens of st. Johns will not
be behind the citizens of other cities
of the state in this matter. The
board Of armory control of the loca
battery has therefore asked the city
commission to submit to the elector:
of st. Johns at the special election
which is to be held on August l fol-
other questions, the proposition Il

ON HONOR'S FIELD
How South American Duelists

AS l was smoking on the throne of
the meas at the ancient fortress OF
secsahuaman. beheld party of two
dozen MISUNDERSTANDING gentle
men In high hats approaching with a
pair OF weapons that resembled the
cavalry sabers OF Napoleon's time. Ii
seems that Senior Escalante, editor of
III Concrete, and Senior Castro, editor
or hi Nacional. both of Cuzco, were
about TO settle an editorial quarrel
upon the field of honor, Harry l.. Fos-
ter writes In Leslles.

decided Ii must be for self-defense.
Every Latln-American city. no matter
how small, has half dozen sheets
published. not as commercial ventures,
but as organs for the saying of mean
things about each other.
Escalante and Castro had grown so
heated In a debate over local POI

atone for the Insults. From the duel
II appeared that both of them had
read Mark Twain. They were still
insulting each other as they met sword

lante's seconds, as neither of them
made move TO start hostilties.
Thus encouraged. Escalante made a
wild swipe with his weapon. clipping
OF a piece OF Castros ear.
Immediately swords were dropped.
the combatants embraced each other
and the seconds led them back to
town. where champagne was opened.
Dueling is by no means limited to
petty editors. During the last presi-
dental campaign in Chile, according
to a Northumberland inside story,
Don Arturo Alessandri, then the can
didate OF the Liberty party, after a
slight dissenson with Don Guillermo
Rivera, another politician, challenged
him TO duel to take place near the
Andes In the COrdillera.
Disguised with false whiskers, ac-
cording to the story, Alessandr and
his seconds sneaked ont of the capital,
closely Swallowed by the police. The
meeting was to take place at 3 p. IN.
At 3 30 Senior Rivera not having made
appearance. Alcssandrl started back
toward town. On the way he encoun-
tered Rivera, but on another road just
across the ravine.
"Why didn't you come out to fight?
demanded Alessandri, shouting across
the ravine.
How could II" demanded Senior RI
vera. "Your agents bought up all the
mules so that / couldn't get there"

Testimony was introduced to show

with an Indebtedness Of $4,000. 1t
was brought out that it was impos-

son that there were no available funds
and that creditors were securing judg-

the company. There was no objection
to the petition of the directors asking
the court to appoint a receiver and
wind up the affairs of the corporation.

petition and evidence to Judge Ed

same.

It's fine thing every now and

It's fine antidote for the "unbaked"
theories which spring up overnight.

roads, farms, with wooden novels,
nearly the whole face of the country
was covered with forests and most of
the eastern part was fen or swamp.
They had no crafts and occupa-
