Huron.
The real reason for Lucas retreat
from Chicago was his break with his
brother John. They had always
quarreled; but row they ceased to
speak, and the same streets could
not hold both.
The purpose of the builder of the
other great house near ST. Florentin
was far more puzzling. The site was
upon tiny island in Lake Huron
half a mile from shore, a rocky,
precipitous islet locally known as
Resurrection kock.
IN the summer of 1912, karges APP
peared and anchored in TIE smooth
water betw. eli Resurrection Rock
and the shore; artisans of a dozen
trades lived upon the barges while
they erected large, handsome
house, chimneyed, wide of roof,
graceful and pleasing. a.
But no master of the mansion APP
peared. Instead, the newly COM
pleted house was closed; doors locked
and barred, windows soundly shut

mile or so away upon the opposite
mainland, was entrusted with the
keys and was paid to inspect the
premises periodically. Yes; it was
an ordinary enough house, he re-
ported.

The three per cent limit on irriga-
tion last year kept immigration down
to $4,000, according to the chairman
of the House Committee on lmmigra-
tion. Therefore the law should be re-
enacted. 1t expires June /. What's
the matter with Congress getting
down to business and getting up an
immigration law based on quality of
the immigrant, rather than upon the
quality? OF the $4,000 who came,
there is no pretense that they were de-
sired at this time, or that consider
able proportion Of them would be de-
sired at any time. Why not restrict
immigration during the unemployment
Of Americans to only the parents, or
wives and children of naturalized
citizens and as permanent law re-
quire that no one be admitted not ap-
proved by our representatives abroad
The present law permits white inn
migrants to reach the United States
from Mexico and Canada without ques-
tion. Who knows how many Europe
ans reach the United States thru these
countries? How does Congress know
that only $4,000 came last year.
since it was SO easy for immigrants
to be sifted thru from our neighboring
countries?

when Washington captured about one
thousand prisoners This Christmas
was long remembered by both sides.
When the British moved south
Washington went with them and after
\ few battles, with the help Of tha
swamp foxes, Marion and Sumpter
captured Corvallis How glad he
must have been when the shamed Brit
ishers marched single hlebetween rows
Of happy Americans.
We owe TO Washington the fact that
W have the prettiest nag ever hoisted.
Betsy Ross made our first nag out Of
Washington's army coat and white
shirt, also using one Of her red flannel
petticoats. She sewed while our hero
held the baby and gave instructions.
That flag has never been trampled in
the dust but has always waved proud
ly aloft.
Washington was very happy on his
farm at Mount Vernon, but wher he
received the news that he had Deen
elected president, he dropped every
thing and started for the capital. He
wouldn't be paid, but fearing he would
hurt the feelings Of the people, took
their gift to use for the government.
A few years later, after two days
illness, he died. A man who could
bring our weak country through 50
safely surely deserves n great deal Of
praise.
lsreal Putnam was plowing happily
in his field in Connecticut when he
heard that the British were going to
Lexington and Concord. Not stopping
to change his clothes, he mounted .
horse and started out to give his ser
vice. He fought desperately to save
our ammunition. He said by the time
the Red Coats reached Boston their
tongues were hanging out like tired
dogs"
Putnam fought in the battle of
Bunker Hill and was of much help.
"He was . man who loved to hear the
bullets whistle past his ears" He
again fought in the battle Of Long Is
land. and in our retreat kept our army
together. Later he was made Brig
ader- General Of the armies Of Connecti-
cut. Again General Washington plac-
ed him at Philadelphia. He was also
among the soldiers who recrossed the
Delaware Christmas Eve.
During the war there was a terrible
fire ut Fort Edwards. The provision
house was full of powder and ammuni-
ton. The fire was raging toward the
provision house when Isreal Putnam
came tearing up on his horse. In an
instant he had formed bucket brig
ade. The men carried water from the
river, while Putnam stood on q ladder
and poured it on. A pair of mittens
were burned from his hands. After
the FIRE was over and he pulled Off the
second pair, the skin came off with
them, but the provision house was saw
ed. Putnam was kept from serving
during the rest Of the war by stroke
Of paralysis. After eight years Of
suffering, our faithful veteran died
and was buried with military honors.

short road to Denver, via Buena Vista.
Road Enthusiasts and business mer
will then be interested in the follow
ing dispatch from Denver under re-
cent date. The use Of the Colorado
Midland roadoed from Lake George 70

one-third Of this short line. and IL
looks as tho il would be used for that
purpose. One would really find II
necessary to get . map Of central Col

highway over the old Midland railroad
right Of way from Divide, near Grip
pie Creek. to Howard. distance Of
thirty miles, is feasible, and may be
authorized in place of the unimproyed
state road west from Divide over vii
kinson pass, where the grades are as
high as fourteen per cent in places.
This is the declaration Of George

a comparatively small cost, the in
spectors say. The grades are low, the
maximum being 80 per cent Just west
of Divide. Thru Eleven Mile canon,
between Lake George and ldlewild,
the grade is % per cent, and as q
scenic route, compares with Phantom
Canon road and is much easier to
travel over, SO it is declared.
The steep Wilkinson pass grades
now prevent truck hauling between
Colorado Springs and South Park in
winter. An appropriation of SOC, 900
has been made to cut down the grades
Of Wilkinson pass to 6 per cent, but
the project might be abandoned should
the department decide to build over
