'At a point 13,000 feet• above sea level the railway from Guayaquil meets the rail- way from Antofagasta, 400 miles away, to the south. "From this point, called, Viacha, thee route turns eastward to- ward the Cordillera, the line climbing slowly in wide sweeps over the dusty and. shrubless plateau on ;whose thin 'grass sheep are browsing. There is not a house visible, and the smooth slope seems to run right up against the mountain wall beyond. Where can La Paz bei asks the traveler. 'Presently, however, he perceives strings of ]lamas and donkeys and wayfarers on foot moving along the slope toward a point where they all suddenly vanish and are no more seen. Then a spot is reached where the rail* way itself seems to end between a few sheds. He gets out and walks a fes, yards to the east and then -suddenly pulls up, with a start, on the edge of at ayawning abyss. ! "Right beneath him, -1,500 feet be= low, a gray, red roofed city fills the bottom of the gorge and climbs up its sides on both banks of the torrent that ;foams through it. Every street and square, every yard and garden, is laid' out under the eye as If on a map, and one almost seems to bear the rattle of vehicles over stony pavements coming: 'faintly, up through the thin air."- fraeted is this my swiftly (with s a the grew • and sir,' •• fat lady.

Brussels. Walter Breckenridge, a young man in the employ of the Thomson Egg Company, here, bad a close call from serious injury or probable death this morning when he was dragged son distance by a team he was drivin, The horses were attached to a d .y loaded with empty egg cases, several of which were shaken from the wagon while the outfit was proceedieg over a Street crossing. Young Breckenridge fell at the horses' heels, the animals taking fright and dragging their driver quite a distance before he could get free. He was badly bruised and suf. fered a deep cut on the forehead. What caused the death of "Sleepy" Jones ? This question, or one similar, is being asked frequently these days in Brussels and vicinity. Just a week .ago Jones came to his death, under peculiar circumstances. It is alleged that, accompanied by his wife and in- fant child, he left Brussels about 10 o'clock le the evening in an intoxicat- ed condition, He lived on the eighth line of Morrie, about five miles from town: and after proceeding about half the distance Mrs. Jones vacated her husband's rig and got into if vehicle driven by George Redmond, a neighbor. Jones' horse Was tied be- hind their rig and the remainder of the journey home thus was made, Tee reason given for this procedure was that Jones was so helpless he was unable to properly guide his horse, When they reached home and attempt- ed to remove Jones from his buggy they found his body a corpse. Doctors were summoned from Brussels but the unfortunate man was found to be be- yond ail hurnan aid. Coroner Kennedy of Wingham, was notified and he in turn reported the facts of the case to Crown Attorney Seager, of Goderich. A post mortem examination was ordered, after which the report was current that death was found to be due to natural causes. Another rumor which gained credeneo here seas that the stomach of the dead man' was sent to Toronto in order to have its con- tents analyzed. But was 1.1 sent? Those who are "on the inside" in the case ate very reticent and will not discuss the matter. The attitude which they have assumed aroused eueploions and the general public in and around Brussels` is welting definite Inn rrn about • KINCARDINE FALL FAIR SEPTEMBER 19th See Weldon B.

The cause of the fire bas not been ascer- tained. It is understood that the mill will be rebuilt. Mr. Rea has been a resident of Kincardine for about 15 years. -[Kincardine Reporter. An Unexpected Voyage. A well known young business man of Goderich, spent forty-eight hours last week in an entirely unpremeditat- ed and unexpected fashion. On Monday evening he drove in hie motor car to the harbor to meet the steamer "Oity of Detroit" and went on the boat to do some business, leaving a young Lady companion seated in the automobile. Before he had finished his business on the boat it had commenced to move orf, and he had to stay on board and make the trip across the lake to Mack- inac, the boat's next stopping place. From there he carne around by way of Miel 'gam, arriving borne on Wed- nesd .3 evening to look up his car and the s .ung lady. -Ripley Express. P aye Car While Drunk. Mr. Herb. Smith who recently came to Walkerton from Clifford appeared in the police- court before Magistrate Jas. Tolton on Friday last, to answer a charge of driving an automobile while in an intoxicated. condition on Tuesday afternoon of last week the in- formation having been sworn out by his wife. In giving his evidence Smith denied having been drunk, but tho evidence of several 'witnesses, in- cluding Mrs. Smith and Chief Ferguson went to show otherwise, The state- ments of Gordon Truax, who accom- panied Smith on a tour of Mild- may, Clifford, Moltke and Ayton on the afternoon in question, was very damaging to him, as although claiming that Smith was able to drive a car, be admitted that they stopped at every hotel and that Smith had several drinks in each case. The magistrate deemed the evidence sufficient to con- vict and assessed Smith $u and costs, This is the first case of this nature that has been heard in Walkerton courts, -[ Walkerton Telescope.

The aim of man from the beginning has been to make his building materials as nearly like nat- ural stone as possible. The great labor required to quarry stone led him to seek various manufactured substitutes, The only reason he ever used wood was that it was easiest to get and most convenient to we. -1 Wood is no longer easy to get. Like most building material, its cost is in- creasing at an alarming rate. The cost of concrete is decreasing. So, from the standpoint of either ser= vice or economy, Concrete is the best building material. + Canada's farmers are using more concretem proportion to their numbers, than the fanners of any other country.
