Si.\ days and three hours before

300 feet of fallen rock walls and

their rescue nearly impossible.
The story of the rescue of these
men will be told many years in this
section, for it was only by bulldog
persistence and the most frenzied
work that the rescuers blasted and
shattered and clawed their way to the

The building and loan association
has assuredly been the most eifective
?gent that this city and county have
known in promoting fnigality and
teaching the desirability of saving a
little each month to get something
worth while afterward. It has taught
‘self-eontrol and sdf-sacrifiee,' and it
bp.s had a treraandous infliieqct in
making citizens carefijl of their righta
and persistent in their demsnd for
sound government. Ita effect upon all
the body politic has been inspiring.—

on account of the inclement weather.
