 In former laws the contractor was was obliged to deposit a guarantee amounting to as much as s1 per hec- tare to insure compliance with the terms of his contract. but no such guarantees are now required.
 Former contracts may be adapted to. the new law simply by announce ment of the fact to the ministry of fomento. It is possible that most of the companies now holding such former contracts will choose to op- crate under the new and more fa- vorable code.
 It was the intention of the Venez- uelan authorities to create a law that would be practical and sufficiently attractive to stimulate the develop ment of this important branch of the national resources. That they have succeeded is evidenced by the inter- est being shown not only by the oil companies already operating, but by the increasing number of represen- ttatives of petroleum interests in- vestigating conditions in this coun- try.

NEWS. OF THE SPEAKERS

The public speaking class is slowly
but surely advancing toward the pow
er to speak well in public, which is
their aim.
Chances for practice are Vulnerable
and someone is always ready to- seize
these.
For a month, each member has
been earnestly working on a speech,
to be about any desired subject, to be
given when called for.
Of these, the first two will be Civ
en- Tuesday, December the fifth. Hell

that it is the intention of the M. H.

ton extension of the road from L,Anse
some time before the close of naviga-
tion next season. To this end he has
asked for sealed proposals for the
grading of the first ten miles. Requi-
sition has already been made for the
timber to be used in bridge across
Fall river near L'Anse. There is
some dissatisfaction with the survey.

and it is not unlikely that some chang
es will be made, though they will not
be material so far as tie public is

TELLS OF OLD TIMES

H. o. Pinther of Fond du Lac, one
of the few old-time travelling men,
was in L'Anse last Friday. While in
a reminiscent mood, he related Of his
first trip to this section in 1879. He
arrived in L'Anse about this time of
the year over the old Marquette
Houghton and Ontonagon railroad.
and with navigation closed he took
the four-horse stage to Houghton,
distance of thirty-two miles, nearly
a days ride.
Before leaving L'Anse he purchased
a high plug hat, being advised to do
SO by friend in the house by which
he was employed, to make the de-
sired impression on the business men
of the copper country.
Arriving at Houghton he put on
his hat, the stage stopping at the old
Douglass house. Here he was met by
a hilarious bunch of knights of the
grip, who circled the sleigh, dancing
welcome to him.
His sales in this section for many
years were very large, he enjoying
the confidence Of the merchants to
whom he sold goods.
Mr.. Pinther's journey through life
is en- the sunset trail. The trips on
the road are getting very trying for
one Of his age, but his coming is
always welcomed by his old-time
friends.

MONDAYS ENTERTAINMENT

The program Monday proved a big
financial success. We regretted that
all the people that bought tickets did
not come but we hope that those who
came enjoyed the evenings enter
tainment.
No unfavorable comments have
been heard so the) Girls Athletic
Association has concluded that the
program was success.
A Christmas program which will
include the whole school is being pre-
pared but whether it can be given or
not will remain in doubt until we
know whether the auditorium seats
will be here in time.
