for many years to get a road roller;
we have one now, and now is the best

put into a special fund, it could be used
for keeping the roads in order instead Of

think our Government should consider
this matter and allow the tax to go to a

feels that that amount is sufficient to
keep the road in repair and to operate the

ii not sufficient, Government would be
willing to allow a further grant.

the Governor will approve the draft even
though it is not what we would like 1t
to be.

 LONDON. March 31.=The intense interestaroused throughout the world by the opening of the tomb of Tut ankhamen and Lord Carnarvon's wonderful discoveries therein makes the fact of his sudden illness a real distress to those who appreciate his ungrndging work and service to the cause of historical research.
 But as one who has studied Egyp- tian mysticism all my life 1 may say that I am not surprised at an accident occurring to those daring explorers who seek to rifle tombs of the dead monarchs of "the land sha- dowing with wings" as the Bible calls it-r7a strange designation with strange meaning behind it.

 Though I had never been in Egypt (nor have l yet seen the country in which l am more deeply interested than any other) I described the in- terior of a tomb so like that of Tutankhamen's that I sent the book to Lord Carnarvon, calling his atten- ton to the curious coincidence.
 He wrote to me at once, expressing his great interest. He was then in London and preparing to return to Luxor. l replied to his kind letter. with the wish that nothing unfortu- nate would chance to himself l.. pur- suit of his discos cries, reminding him of Hamlet's words, There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio. than are dreamt of in our philosophy"

 According to a rare book l possess, which is not in the British museum entitled The Egyptian History of the Pyramids, translated out of the original Arabic by Voltatre, Arabic professor to Louis XVI of France. the most dire punishment follows any rash intruder into sealed tomb.
