Mr.. Libby based his statement
concerning the coming of the war

"It is only family appreciated in

 Upon the request of Fred Mic holl, the Paxton roadhOuse fire IS being investigated by J.H By. the. who, has been sent fsom Cordova for that purpose by Dis trict Attorney Mccain.
 Thus far no absolute proofs have been unearthed, but clues obtained thus far, seem to prove that the confiagration was caused by frebug who is at large in this section of the country and who is said to be violently insane
 At present, Mir. Blythe is in- vestigating this report, which was brought into town by trap. pers, who allege that a man by the name of Severance is roam. ing through the country in a de- mented condition, and is sneak. ing into cabins, obtaining what supplies he needs, then setting fire to the buildings before leav ing. This, it is said, may have been the origin of the fire that entirely consumed the Paxon roadhouse three weeks ago

HARDENING STEEL WITHOUT
SCALING

Processes for hardening steel without
scaling have had much attention in Eng
land during recent years. One of the most
successful hardening furnaces that meets
these requirements is that made under the
Walters patents. In this furnace the work
is suspended in a vertical tubular mufle
heated by an electric resistance winding
of nichrome. The atmosphere in the heat
ing space is coal gas, which is admitted to
the lower end of the muff1e and escapes
slowly through an outlet near the top. The
atmosphere therefore is non-oxidizing and
in fact slightly reducing When the work
has reached the required temperature, it
is dropped straight into quenching tank
without coming in contact with atmos-
pheric oxygen. The result is surface quite
free from pits or scaling AT present the
furnace is in use chiefly in tool-rooms and
for laboratory purposes, but larger fur
naces have been used with great success
in the hardening of crankshafts, rolls and
other heavy work up to 200 pounds.-Ex.

GROWTH OF DIE-CASTING

The growth of die-casting within the
last decade has been remarkable. Today
die-castings are produced of attractive ap-
pearance, strong enough for any reasonable
use, and much cheaper, especially when
produced in quantity and when of reason
ably complicated shape, than forgings or
castings that have to be machined to size.
When it is realized that holes and even
threads can be provided with sufficient
accuracy to require no subsequent sizing,
the large place which the die-casting has
come to hold in present-day machine prac-
tice is understood.-Ex.

A young man recently made application
for a position as reporter on the Winnie

that the editor might know of his ability,
he sent in the following local item for
publication:
"The members of the Humbolt county's
commissioners are solicitious that the sale
of county highway bonds, be sold to the
people of this county. The expectation
figures which is 100000. Of that $4,000
of par value will be sold Saturday, May
26, at 10 o'clock. Outside bond buyers are
looking forth to the proposal of the $4,000
of the first issue.
"Bids are expected to be mutidious from
outsiders, according to w. ]. Bell Chair
man of the board, but by corporation of the
people of this county, and should the people
of this county be successful in their bid
they could partition it amongst themselves
as there would be hardly anyone who
would have the required amount on hand.
Mr.. Bell made the assertion that the county
officials would not modulate in awarding
the, bonds to be sold, to the loftiest bidder.
"In conformity with Mr. Bells statement,
it will be well, for home buyers to make
offers, as these bonds are bearing from
five to six per cent int. payable semi-an-

WHERE GOD SMILED

Did you ever hear the call of the wild,
AS you pegged away at the daily grind
With heavy head and weary miad,
Your nerves strung up like a frightened
child
Did YOU ever hear the call of the wild?
Did you ever hear the call of the stream
As you worked along in ceaseless strain,
With muscles taut and fagged-out brain
When life was a restless waking dream
Did you ever hear the call of the stteam?
Did you ever hear the call of the hills,
When the sun beat down and your pulses
throbbed,
And you knew your youth was being
robbed
By the city's hum and its vice and ills
Did you ever hear the call of the hills?
Did YOU ever hear the call of the trees,
And the cry of the loon along the creek
The bark of the squirrel and the whirring
shrek
Of the quail and the murm-ring autumn
Did YOU ever hear the call of the trees?
All these l heard-and they called my name
Thru the sun-baked streets and cities blare,
Mid the roar and rush of its sitting air
Go where l would and it was all the same;
l hear these calls, and in answer came!
And here in the heart of Nature wild
Is peace, content and joy and rest
And all that goes to make life blessed,
And over it all it seems God smiled,
And made me again laughing child.
