The Enduring Record in the Hills
OF Lebanon s. 6.

Jerusalen1, Sept. l-On the lace
of a cliff in the Lebanon hills
Rameses IT. King of Egypt. well
over 1000 years ago ordered his
stone scarvers to inscribe q tablet
setting forth his conquest of the
land. The figures of, the ancient
Egyptian ruler and his men are
still visible a few feet away. ore
may see, carved in the same. rock
by a British stone cutter, record
of. the coming in September..a1s1S,
of Field Marshall Sir Edmund H.
n. Allenby, G. c. g., commaadas Of
rhe Allied forces in Asia Minor:
And the passage ofsthe centuries
from 3. e. 1900 to .A. p. 1918 is re-
corded by various carvings. in al
not less than u and each describ-
ing the march Of a victorious army.
The cliff selected for the carving
of these historic records is at the
mouth OF the Dog River, 10 miles
northeast OF Beirut, in Syria. This
strip of country lying between the
Lebanons and Egypt has been the
bridge between the ancient en-
pires of the Valley of the Nile and
Mesopotamia, and over it has pass
ed the arpIes. Of the. ancient, me-
d;eval and modern worlds. The
narrowest point is where the Lee
banon mountains come close to the
sea. and at this place. Rameses II
set the precedent ,oi commemorate
ing his conquest by hewing out
panel on the face of the cliff. His
example has been followed by
others through the centuries until
now there area a; dozen OF them.
They are all cut about four or five
inches deep, frcna five to Dine feet
high, and from two TO four and
half feet in width. The storms OF
more than 5000 years. have beaten
upon some of them, but still the
figures of the ancient Egyptian con-
Guerors are easily discernible as
they stand with their right arms
uplifted in an attitude OF victory.
The hieroglyphics have long since
disappeared except to- the trained
eye of the archaeologist.
Several Assyrlan conquerors led
their armies through this pass, in
Guiding the great Sennacherib, who
threatened Jerusalem, but whose
army was s:smitten by the breath
of the Eord.'' and for century
and quarter the city was saved
from its foes.
Alexander the Great led his con-
ouering hosts through the same de-
file on his.way to Egypt. and Greek
and Latin tablets tell of the con-
quests Of the great. kingdoms OF
southern Europe when the march
of empire passed from Asia to Eu-
rope
Coming down to recent history
a tablet tells of the coming of the
army Of Louis Napoleon in 1860.

The graduation exercises for the Berlin Junior High school will be held on Wednesday evening, June 21. Arrangements have been made to hold the exercises in the town hall on Berlin street at o'clock in the eve ming.

 Superintendent B. R. Showalter stated this morning that it has been thought best that the exercises should be held in the evening to permit the parents of the children to attend without interfering with their work ing hours.
 The town hall has been found to have the largest seating capacity and the only hall with a full equipment of chairs. It also has a good sized stage which would be capable of holding all of the graduates if it was so desired

 The taxpayers claim they are will ing to pay for the meter at lnstalla- ton and thereafter pay for what water goes through the meter which s used by them, instead Of having the Cat rate of s13 year. Many resi- dents threaten to do away with the ron1panys meter plan and install wells in their backwards.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
IS MANIFEST
Hurley Has Become Imbued With the
Spirit of the Season That Is
Evidenced on Every Side.
POOR ARE BEING LOOKED
AFTER
Local Organizations Are Busy Fur
pishing Good Cheer to the
Needy and the Sick.

As Christmas day draws near it is
evident that the spirit is manifest i'm
Hurley for on every side there are
the busy scenes which can only be
created by this festive season.
The gaily decked display windows
of merchants. the throngs Of shop
pers, the beautiful snow, the CHEEKY
words heard on all sides, all go TO
make it the one best season Of the
year
I Local merchants have had a good
holiday trade, according TO general
reports, the bulk of the business
coming this week And there is
one more big day aturday--fo it
is generally expected that Satur-
days trade will furnish the peak.
People seem TO have money to spend,
indicative of good times, but they are
not, as a rule, spending it foolishly,
for there seems to be a sentiment in
favor of the purchase of useful and
lasting gifts.
AS usual the stores handling toys
have been the mecca Of attraction
for many shoppers, so the Riddles
will not be forgotten
Christmas and snow go together,
and, while there was some snow on
the ground, the Christmas appear
ance has been added to during the
week with the new, fresh snow that
fell.
In order that the poor and needy
will be provided with Christmas
cheer a number of local organiza-
tons have undertaken to act as
Santa Claus and baskets of good
things, toys for the children and
useful articles of wearing apparel
are being sent to number Of
families.
A new movement along this line
this year imnaugurated by Chairman
Daniel Reid, is the furnishing Of
Christmas cheer to Inmates at Pure
air sanatarium at Bayfield, Local
lodges, civic and social organizations
have undertaken to look after the
needs Of a certain individual at the
sahatarium, the name OF an inmate
from this county being furnished
each organization interested in the
work.
All these things help TO make the
spirit Of Christmas, It's in the air,
it's everywhere will and good
cheer-the festive season that links
humanity

WOMEN DRAWN
FOR JURY SERVICE.
Ten Iron County Women Picked to
Serve as Jurors at the January
Term of Circuit Court.
FIRST TIME IN COUNTY'S
HISTORY.
Never Before in the History of the
County Have Women Been Call.
ed for Jury Service.

Ten Iron county women have been
drawn for service as jurors at the
January term of circuit court, mark
ing an epoch in the history of the
county, for never before have women
been called for jury service in Iron
county.
A jury panel containing the names
of women are common in many sec
tions of the country, in fact some of
the famous cases have been tried
with women in the jury box. But
on account of lack of Accommodations
at the court house Iron county up to
this time could not avail itself of the
services of women jurors. However,
during the remodeling of the circuit
room last year Accommodations for
women jurors were provided, so that
hereafter women in the jury box at
circuit court sessions will probably
be regular feature
The women drawn for jury service
by the jury commissioners Tuesday
morning are as follows:
Winnie Faul, Mayme LaFave,
Lillian Kohl, Ruth Van Stratum,
Mary Obert and Julia Spickard of
Hurley; Title Hannula of Van
Buskirk; Hazel Peterson of Epson;
Edele Daoust of Saxon and Jennie
Calvi of Hamilton.
In addition to the ten women
twenty-six men were picked as fol-
lows:
Archie Saekett, John Kallis, A. F.
Collins, R. Paul, Evar Swanson, Fred
Smith, Myron Holcombe, Thomas
Gamache, James Coach, Frank
Haggerson, Arthur Williams, John
Abelson, Paul Barron, f. A. Hariu,
Leonard Melander and NJ. J. Connors
of Hurley; j. w. Wilmer of Spring
stead, Arvid Lake and Clarence
Nyberg of Iron Belt; Irving Faford
of Saxon, Fred E. Lee of Mercer,
Fred LaPorte and William Plunkett
of Manitowish; Chester Norman,
Leonard Chart and James Calvi of
Hamilton.
Circuit court will convene on the
second Monday in January, but as
the number of cases on the calendar
is small it is believed that the session.
will be a short one.
