AT THE KAWAKAU DAM THE POWER OF GOLD. A North Island visitor who was lately at Queenstown wus telling some friends that he had visited the Kuwarau dam at Frankton. “ There is no doubt about it,” said the visitor, “that this wonderful engineering feat will soon be brought to a successful conclusion. The company should be in a position to close the gates within the next few months.” The damming of Lake TVakatipu is a remaakable engineering feat, and a great tribute to the power of gold. The work of putting in the piers is both arduous and dangerous, and after toiling in the cold water the workmen are likely to get severe chills. On this account that well-known specific Baxter’s Lung Preserver is in great demand. For sore throats, chest and bronchial complaints, this fine old remedy has won public favor in every part of the dominion. Be wise, like the men at the Kawarau dam. and keep a bottle of “Baxter’s ” handy to meet winter’s ailments. Yon can get a generous-sized bottle of “ Baxter's ” from any chemist or store for 2s 6d. hut the ramify size at 4s 6d is more economical.—[Advt.] Eight men were once wrecked on a desert isand. A year later a. ship picked them up. The skipper of the ship noted in his log that “ The two Scotchmen had founded a Caledonian Society. The two Irishmen had fought twice a day during the whole year. The two Englishmen hadn’t spoken because they’d never been introduced. 1 The two Americans had opened a real ! estate agency in a palm-leaf hut, with i a rotary club, a boosters’ league, and a hooch-making plant in the cellar.”
