owing to tho compact nature of the

Canal System.
It ia proposed to construct a canal

from Iteaervolr to (Sreen Springs
mountain paas, a distance of about
twonty-rivo inline, (Ireen Spring
mountain being the divide or -the
water shed of KlauMlh river and

tunnel about 2000 reet in length
through Ureon Spring mountain paaa
to tributary of Kmlgrant orouk,
then to be diverted at some suitable

That first morning you wake up to hear a robin caroling outside

that car pretty soon."
While that thought is fresh in your mind, net busy. Of course you
want your storage battery inspected your whole electrical system
depends upon its healthy condition.
And of course you want an expert to look at it. ThaVs why we
suggest coming to us there's no question of our standing as bat

When you come in, ask for a free inspection card. It will keep'
