The climate is healthful, the air is dry and invigorating, and the percentage of sunshiny, days is-high. Outdoor work can be done almost every day in the year.. Rainfall is amply suffi. Cient to raise the crops. Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automobiles are in common use. The deeded land inthis district sells for from $10 to $18 per acre. There are many instances this year where the crop . equalled in value the cost of the land.

A Problem In Wharf Building Which Seems Hard, hut Isn't. .When In building a wharf they hdve got thd spiles- driven you see them first standing: in tows *mT stickingup above the'water at ust* even heights and with their tops all frayed, Then the surplus upper length of the spiles has to be sawed off so that the stringers upon which the wharf planking will be laid, cun rest upon them. And the question is, Ifow do they manage to saw off each spile so timt it will have a perfectly flat and level head, and how do they manage to get ali -the spiles sawed off at exactly the, same height? They do-this in the simplest way in the world. The spiles all driven, they spike along to each row, at a little dis­ tance below where they, are to cut them off, planks, Upon which they lay crosswise other planks to make a scaffolding, to work. on. Then along each row of Bpiles at the height where they are to bo ent off they draw a leveling line, which, drawn taut and- leveled up, touches every spile in the row at exactly the same height, and then to each spile they nail two smooth topped crosspieces, little strips' of board, one on either side of the spile, like the crosstrees on a mast, onlyshort- er, these cross strips being nailed on so that their tops just touch 'the underside of a leveling line. And then the sawyers, with their long crosscut saws, worked by a 4mm at each end, come along. The crosspieces nailed to the spile show exactly where it its to be cut off, and they servo also as guides and supports for the saw in cutting the spile off true. Resting the saw, blade on their projecting endp at one side, the men saw and saw until they have sawed the spile off. And so they keep on until.tney have got them all sawed off and ready for the stringpieces, — New X ork Bon, . . .... • ^ . , A Cemp*n**tion.
