Prosperity in Kiapiox

There js quite an influx of
settlers into the Kispiox Valley,
says H, W, Sharpe, who returned
from that district on Wednesday.

last month are four families and
a number of single men, mostly
from the Northwest, Many
others are coming in. The
wagon road is well up the Valley,
the construction gang being now
eamped 34 miles from Hazelton,
The farmers ‘have good crops of
hay and grain, with prospects of
the best season in the history of
Kispiox. Bert Glassey and his
neighbors are building a road
from the Poplar Park bridge to
their pre-emptions, Other roads
are badly needed. Mr, Sharpe
will soon open a general store on
his Kispiox place. His stock
has already arrived in Hazelton.

Paris, July 11:—Pugilist John-
son, who escaped from Chicago
while under heavy bail on a
“white slavery’? charge, is in
Paris, and says he will never
return to America. The Freneh
government, however, is con-
sidering the advisability of de-
porting the negro.

BALKAN WAR

London, July 7:—As news of
the last ten days’ fighting be-
tween the Greeks, Servians and
the Bulgarians begins to filter in
from the front and are checked
up it is apparent that between
30,000 and 40,000 lives have been
sacrificed in battles, by far more
sanguinary than any which oc-
curred in the last Balkan war,
and as yet it is impossible to de-
termine to whom the honors of
war should be credited,

Strict censorship of the news
is maintained, and up to this
date only unconfirmed reports
have been available ag to the
actual dead and wounded in the
various engagements, Aside
from the dead and those in hos-
Fitals it is known that thousands
have been taken prisoners on all
sides, *

At this time desperate fighting
is reported along the Vardar and
Bregalinitsa Rivers and semi-
official reports have it that the
Bulgarians are in the ascendancy
near these points. The Bulgar-
ians have invaded Belogradchyk,
about forty-five miles northeast
of Nish, Servia’s most important
fortified town and at this pomt
