Butte Falls can boast of a natural
untatorium and every evening the
boys tnko a plunge in water flowing
from mountain springs over crags,
leaping over rocks and dashing down
declivities and tumbling through
cavernous gorges, shaded by over
hanging branches of bnlsamic und
pine vegetation, which fragrant it
with delicate perfumes chemicalized
in nature's laboratory.
What a grand, romantic, weird
and commanding summer home
could some capitalist enjoy if he
were to build upon the mountain top
near Butte Falls. All around him
would be glndcs and dells, clefts
and cliffs, towering giants of centu
ries, rushing, rumbling, roaring wa
ters impetuously coursing their way
to- the ocean. On either side would
bo have n scene that would delight
the clfs, fairies and goddesses, while
the invigorating continuous breezes
laden with the smell of pino, cedar
and balsam, intermingled with the
fragrance of wild flowers, and the
view of primitive- pictures of natural
growths of exceeding beauty, would
calm his racked nerves and restore
him to natural state of peace and
bring to him that sweet sedative,
undisturbed, refreshing slumber that
he knows not of in pentup cities or
castled residences. Who will be tho
first sensible capitalist to undertake
to execute this nlan of livins the
"simple life"?

Miss Blossom Morris is one of our
most useful young Indies and is al
ways ready to help along a good

for her determined, continuous la
bors. Great forest fires have been raging
around us and through tho woods
nearby and a largo gang of men hav
ing been fighting them and some men
are employed at night to keep watch
lest they spread. The origin of the
firca is attributed to changing camps
and tho carelessness of travelers
throwing lighted stumps of cigars
out upon iho grass.
Ben Fredenburg and family, who

a party the other day, giving them
fine chicken and cream gravy as a
remiuder that she has not lost her
cunning or skill in the art of arts.
Mr. Ayers was in town the other

Will Perry and family are frequent
visitors to town. Mr. Perry is har

Central Point Items
BOSTON, Mass., July 28. Sena
tor William P. Frye of Maine has no
intention of following the example of
his colleague, Eugene Hale, and re
tiring from public life. Fryo's sec
retary, Williniu Sands, vouches for
tho stutemeut that Frye will remain
in the senate.
"The senator says he will resign
only when he dies," said Sands.
The retirement of Senator Hale
came us a surprise to Maine poli
ticians. Halo is one of the oldest
senatoors, in point bf service, 'und
his determination to drop out at the
end of his present term, followed
shortly the announcement that Sen
ator Aldrich would not be a candi
date for re-election.
Senator Frye is a power in New
England politics and the report that
be would retire was widely discussed
here. It was iriven some credenco
because of Hale's action.
The statement published that the
Central Point water system had been
received by the city council is as
false as Ananias and there was not a
statement In the entire article but

as yet, and will not be until the mo
tor at tho pumping station Is work
ing In a (satisfactory manner. Mr.
Bade, tho contractor, has Bent to Port
land for an expert to come here and
ascertain tho trouble and put the
machine in good working order. The
plant may be received a week from
Monday and may not be, all depends
upon the success of the expert to
make things work correctly.

nlso to Mexico. The request was
made about six weeks ago. It was
