On account of the rains of the past
week it has been too wet much of the
time to work in the fields. The rain
was needed badly as much of the grain
that had been sown had not germi-
mated and hay and pastures have been
helped by it. The outlook for hay and
pastures is the best for several years.

POWELL MAN
in FAITH CURE
Calvary Church Rectory,
Red Lodge, Mont.
Nav 81, 1924.

To the Editor OF the carbon county
Chronicle,
Dear Sir:-Mrs. Ten Brock and
myself were the eyewitness of the
marvellous cure described in the ac-
companying letter. | questioned Mr..
Shepherd carefully, as well as his son,
after the cure, and asked him to put
the whole story in writing.
To have seen a man walk stiffly and
painfully up, to the altar rail and,
after prayer with the laying on of
hands, to see him walk towards me
lifting both knees freely up is convinc-
ing to one of the mighty power of a
sincere faith in Christ and in His pow
er still to heal. 1t also, brushes aside
all scepticism as maudlin folly worthy
of only blind fool.
Very truly yours,
R. C. TENBROECK.

Boston, Dec. 8. - Half Of all the 44,O00,00O daily electric railway passengers in the United States do their travelling during four "peak load" hours of the day and how to handle them expeditiously Is the outstanding local transportation problem. Lucius S. storrs, president of the Connecticut Company, told the New England Motor Transport conference here today.
 Only with electric cars can the great peak loads be handled prop erly, Storrs said, but there are many places In local transportation where the bus may be used advan- tageously. A large operator of buses himself, Storrs insisted electric railways must adopt a broad view of the situation and render the test possible service with whatever ypes of conveyances may be best itted for local requirements.

Torrington, Dec. S.--Two China men, one a laundryman and the other a restaurant man, left the city yesterday after having received threatening messages. One Is be- lieved to have decided to become a member in one of the tongs. A strange Chinaman who visited town yesterday when questioned by a po- lice officer said he was looking for the laundryman who had departed a short. time before. He claimed to be a relative. A little over a week ago three Chinamen came here In an automobile driven by a white man, evidently with the purpose of visit ing this laundryman who has now gone. A policeman guarding the laundry blew his whistle for the car 10 stop but the driver increased his speed and escaped. The number plate on the car had been bent In such a manner as to prevent ob- servance of the whole number.

Two of the five council members who represent the fifth ward al the present time are not residents or that voting district, Alderman Peter J. Pajewski's home being in the hrst ward, and Councilman Albtn Ezekiel living in the sixth ward.
 In the case of Alderman FajsTski, q ruling has been made which will permit of hie continuance as a fifth ward resident, but the dictum of that ruling would indicate that the Rac- kiel case would be considered in different light.
 The corporation counsel ruled some time ago that a man may vote from the district in which he has his place ot business, and may repre- sent in the common council his Not- ing district. Alderman PajeWski is one Of the owners Of drug store To- cated in the heart of the fifth ward. The decision indicated that any case not coming under this head might disqualify a person from holding council office.
