the entire Company will be
engaged in leathcrwork by
the end of February,
As the miner surpluses
accumulate, tools arc purchased for the use of the

Dewhur s t, c erav, mechani c, i s
at present on a leave, Why
did he go, you ask? Ah,the
reason is simple. Mr. and
Mrs, Dewhurst are the proud
parents of a brand new baby , and that•s ail that
we know. Whether the new
arrival be a boy or a little lady we do not know, &
have boon in a quandary ov
er the puzzle. One thing—
yes, one thing we do know
and arc going to make a
prediction about is that
we will be willing to wager that the bey will cither be a mechanic or that a
certain little girl will
grow up to bo a back-seat
drivor* Good Luck, Dewey.
