This wedding, in the famous east

Three Boys That Out Weigh

Editor Avant-C Courier:

Editor Avant-C Courier:
I noticed an article in a recent is
sue of your paper regarding the
weight Of M. M. FergusOn's three
boys, and I wish you would tell Mr..
Ferguson that I accept his wager, I
can walk off with that hundred dol
lars, sure.
My three boys weigh a little more
than do those of Nh. Ferguson, but
their weights are nearer even and
there is no greater discrepancy in
their ages.
Tom, aged 85, weighs 100 pounds;
Jim is two years older and weighs
158, and Sam, who is only 80, weighs
1914 pounds.
Tell Mr.. Ferguson to put up his
money and I will put my boys on the
scale beside his and test their weights
on any day he may set.

Subject.

The Public Wants Light on the
Subject.
For several weeks, if not months,
past the electric lights have not been
giving any kind Of satisfaction to u
citizens. They have been so fitful
and uncertain and at best Of such in
feriOr quality, that almost everyone
directly or indirectly interested is dis
gusted with the entire plant and its
present management. Several times
during performances at the opera
house the lights have gradually faded
out, leaving the audience in Egyptian
darkness, until such time as oil lamps
could be obtained or the -incandescents
could be persuaded to resume bust
ness.
It was thought for a time that the
electric street car system interfered
somewhat with the light current, the
power Of the dynamos being insuffi-
cient for both purposes, and that the
matter would be remedied without
unnecessary delay. Then it was re-
ported that the company was adding
a steam power and new dynamos to
the plant, which would not only i'm
prove the quality of the lights but
render them absolutely reliable at all
times and under the most adverse cir
c~umstances; but so far there has been
no ~perceptible improvement.
And now the city, which is paying
most generously for lighting the
streets as well as the city hall; OUT

flattering commentary on the Gala

ply eggs for our own tables, let alone
the enormous demand for them from
our mining camps. No wonder Gal

in all probability remain so as long
