says the Electrical Review. is built
by New York company and is along
the type of dredge constructed for
operations ia Alaskan fields Power
for dredging. pumping and shifting po-
sition is furnished by electric motors
while twelve men working four to a
shift constitute the crew.
The general method of dredging Is
as follows: The digging ladder ear
rying the buckets is lowered and dirt
is scooped up This dirt is dropped
on the conveyor belt and is carried
to the screen. Here ii is screened
and washed and the refuse is dropped
to the stacker and deposited. The
pay dirt that remains rs further
washed on gold tables on laundries.

the gold is recovered. Remaining de-

A hardwood floor has been laid, which

Where could you rent a house under

There is not enough to pay the rent,

Sir-Why all this "fuss and feath.

This regal stuff" Is sort of nausea ting

about royal blood and long lineage? This
artificial stuff should have been put out

of making the world free for dcmoc.

What did VIC do with the German
royal family? Dumped them on the ash
heap. The head of this family was
shipped off to exile, and the rest Of
the family have been dethroned from
power, and are living retired like any
other family. The English royal fam.
lily have about as much power as the
ordinary American ward leader, except
ing in their name and the great sig
nificance We still feel disposed to credit
them with. Royalty has had its day,
SO why take up good. valuable space
in the newspapers to chronicle their
doings? w, l.. T.

tually were in about two or three battles
over there and at that a very small
percentage, who were with the First
Division. The marine takes credit for
all. The army men he fought beside
did nothing. The United States had
about l 200 900 men in France. OF
these 100000 were combat troops, in.
fnntry. artillery, engineers. etc. The
rest were safer than men that worked
in munition plants, where hundreds
were killed.
The most the marines did was home
service, guard duty. police duty in
Paris, etc., and received $33 per month.
Not one United States soldier was in
the trenches for seven months and they
received $33 per month.
