university, therefore, belongs as much
to the other end of the Bay as to this,
and should meet with as earnest sup
port from its residents as from those OF
the Fairhaven end. And further,
there is no intelligent resident of the
rural districts who does not realize that
the growth and prosperity of this COM
ing united city will have a correspond
ing influence for good upon the county
itself, so that whatever step is taken
for the advance of either of the Bay
cities must have its reflex of good upon
every resident of the outside precincts.
The press of the county should use its
influence in behalf of the university,
and do all in its power towards secur-
ing contributions for the endowment.
Conservatism on question of such i'm
portance and magnitude as this
amounts to serious breach of progress
sive journalism.

-Four Methods of Preserv,no

OF the four principal manners of pre-
serving food in use today drying and
curing (the latter term including sailing
smoking and antiseptic processes) are not
modern, while timing and freezing are
entirely new. Timing dates nominally
from 1904, when Appert made the first
attempts at inclosing food in hermetical-
ly closed boxes, but long course of
trials and improvements had to be gone
through before the excellence of today
was obtained. Dried vegetables were
introduced by Chollet in 1916, but the
products of that period were miserable
in comparison with those turned out
now.-Blackwood's Magazine.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
A Woman's Chance Receipt of Tidings Of
Her Kin in kamehatka.

Her Kin in hamehatka.
More than half century ago William
Tolman sailed on a whaling ship bound
for the northern seas. The ship was dis
abled and put into Kamchatka for re-
pairs. Mr.. Tolman was a master me
chanic, and 30 well pleased were the
inhabitants with his work of repairing
the disabled ship that the authorities of
the place induced him to stay. A few
years after he married Russian girl,
by whom he had daughter and two
sons. When the daughter was eleven
years old her father sent her to America
on whaler in charge of the captain.
The ship put into the port of New Lon
don, Conn.,, and the captain sent word
TO the girls relatives in western New
YORK, who came to New London by
team and took her to their home. After
ward she, with relatives, came to Michi-
gan.
The grrt grew to womanhood, married
an Episcopal clergyman named Dunn,
and settled down in Lawrence. Kan.
For fifty years Mrs. Dunn never heard
word from her parents in faraway
kamchatka. One day about a year
ago she CHANGED TO speak to Russian
In the streets of Lawrence, and was sur
prlsed when the subject of the car said
he once knew William Tolman, her
father, and two brothers. He said that
Mr.. Tolman was dead, but that the sons
were alive, but very poor. One of them
he told her, YVES a trapper.
The Russian gave Mrs. Dunn their
address and she wrote to them, sending
them clothing and many useful pres
ents. In due time she got letter from
one brother, the first for over fifty years,
The letter was passed around among
the relatives. Yesterday W. 7. Hess,
OF this city, got letter, written in Rus
sian, from one of the Tolman brothers
in Kamchatka. Not being a Russian
scholar he went out of his store to find
some one to translate it. He espied a
street fakir, and he asked him if he
could read the letter. The fakir looked
at it and replied, ''Yes, sir; it is Rus
sian and from Kamchatka." He trans
lated the letter for Mr.. Hess.
Here is the funny part of the whole
thing" said Mr.. Hess. Mrs. Dunn
learned of her relatives through a Rus
sian on the street in Lawrence, Kan.
and had one of her brothers letters
translated by Russian found on the
street in Grand Rapids. The William
Tolman who sailed on the whaler was
my uncle, for whom was named. Fun
ny how we get news from relatives
sometimes" continued Mr.. Hess. =

Her Only Thought.


1t was one of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around the
corners, when the dust whirls in clouds
and the air has hard, cold dampness
which goes straight through any coat
except a fur one. Away up town ON
one OF the western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor of
cheap fiat houses a woman stood by a
window with baby in her arms. Her
dress was shabby and SO thin that the
wind went through it as through sieve.
The baby had wooden frock and a
worsted coat and cap, and seemed to be
warm enough as he burrowed upon the
woman's shoulder and dug his sprawl
ing little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window were DISPLAYED
two kinds of garments. On one side
were women's wooden petticoats and all
kinds Of heavy cotton Undertaking.
which looked warm and comfortable
But this woman did not see them. for
she was looking on the other side of the
window, where were shown little knitted
hoods and tippets of white, fiossy stuff
and babies mittens and babies shoes
and babies fancy caps, with ribbons in
them.-New York Times.

Dirty Money.

1t is not the money Hunks received for
voting for t'other candidate at the late
election, but literally soiled, mutilated
paper currency, so offensive that nobody
would willingly touch it with a pair of
tongs. There is far too much of it in
circulation-so much that one frequent
ly runs actual risk of getting cholera or
something worse when he handles it.
For his own comfort one shuns speculat-
ing on the probable history of that grimy.
foul smelling dollar bill he has received
in change from the grocer or meat man.
Congressman Cultivate, from Ohio.
proposes if possible to give the people
clean, crisp bills, by making it less ex-
pensive for banks and business CORPORA
tons to return dirty money to the treas
ury at Washington and get bright new
bills in exchange for it. At present al
most the only people who give us nice
clean bills in exchange for our tattered
rags are the great dry goods firms. In
first class dry goods establishment one
never gets filthy bank bills.
AT present anybody can get old money
exchanged for new by simply sending it
to the Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, d. c." But he must nav
the postage or expressage on it himself
and take the risks himself. 1t can be
sent by mail, registered without charge.
But the sender must pay the postage.
Congressman Cultivate will propose
that the government pay the expenses of
shipping the money both ways. In view
OF the paper money annually lost and
destroyed and which is consequently 50
much gain to the government, it is
thought the government could well af-
ford this expense.
AT present the directions concerning
the shipping of mutilated currency for
exchange are as follows:
United States notes, gold certificates. silver
certthcates, treasury notes Of 1880 and national
bank notes should be forwarded In separate
remittances. The notes should be assorted by
denominations and inclosed In paper straps.
not more than 100 notes In each strap. and the
strsps should be marked with the amount Of
tner contents. Not more than 1000 notes

Large Electric Locomotires.

The most powerful electric locomo
t1ves yet used are two of the London
Underground railway. Each locomo.
tive, according to description of Mr.
Alexander Siemens, carries two motors,
and the use of all gearing is obviated by
winding the armatures of the motors on
the axles of the locomotive wheels.
Tests of the four motors before thew
were fitted to their places gave from,
forty to fifty horsepower each for three
OF them-the other being much more
powerful-and efficiencies of about 80 70
"a per cent.
Each locomotive fully equipped weighs
1879 tons, and its unloaded train weigh.
twenty-one tons, full load being ninety.
six passengers, The average power of
each locomotive requires a current Of
not more than fifty amperes. although
in starting as much as 140 amperes must
be had.-Ohio State Journal.

1t is a matter of surprise that the
newspapers of Whatcom county do not
advocate the increase of the endow-
ment fund of the University of Fair
haven with more earnestness and a
broader spirit of loyalty than has here
tofore appeared in their columns. The
university is not an enterprise to ben.
eft Fairhaven alone. In an incidental
way this city will realize profit from
the presence Of such an institution, but
not more so, in many respects, than
New Whatcom and other parts of the

Families in the newly settled farm
districts of the west are begging eastern
friends to send them something to read
during the long winter. Files of news
papers, magazines, novels that all the
family at home have read, pamphlets,
histories or any of the publications which
SO many people throw away after perus-
al, will be real boon to the solitary
farm family that must be shut up at
home during many weeks of winter,
owing to our American national system
of bad roads. A helpful lady-Mrs. H.

undertaken to distribute any literature
that may be sent to her. Let the east

What the Homestead Strike Cost

1t lasted five months, and the strikers
had to give in at last. The loss in wages
was S2,0O0,000. The loss to the state
and to Allegheny county in maintaining
the soldiers and making good the dam
age from the riot will be half million
dollars. 1t was the most disastrous,
most barbarous strike ever known in
this country. Ten thousand men were
involved at one time. Ruin and bank
ruptcy to many business men at Home
stead was another of the results. "If
the strike had continued much longer it
would have ruined the town." says one
report. The loss to the firm is not
known.
Thirty-ive deaths are directly trace
able to the strike. One of these was
murder, another was a suicide. That
the number was not thirty-six, and that
assassination was not added to murder
and suicide was only due to the robust
constitution of Superintendent II. c.
Frick.
The strike came because the Carnegie
company refused to sign what is called
the sliding scale of wages, which con-
cerned certain departments Of their
works In which members of the Anal.
gamated Iron and Steel association were
employed. 1t is called sliding scale"
because the wages slide up or down
with the price paid in the market for
steel billets.
All the millions of loss, the deaths
and destruction could have been avoided
by the application of one single word
arbitration. Even when your opponent
is dead wrong it is better to meet him in
a conciliatory spirit and convince him
that he is wrong.

That the directors of the Columbia
National bank of New Whatcom in
tend putting up a building TO cost not
less than sos, 900, the contract of which
is to be let within the next thirty days,
is practical evidence of their faith in
the revival of times on the Bay, and of
the future growth of their city. And
that arrangements for the erection of
the building should be made at the
present time and pushed forward as
rapidly as possible shows further that
instead of waiting for the business re-
vival the gentlemen interested intend
doing their share towards bringing the
better times around. This is a step
worthy the emulation of other business
men. A gentleman residing in Fair
haven who has considerable property
interests in the city was heard to re-
mark the other day that he was con-
templating the erection of fine brick
block 1.-THE very moment any quicken
ing in business is experienced" That
the revival will come in the spring is a
moral certainty, and property owners
who expect to reap benefit from the
revival of trade will show wisdom by
preparing before hand for its coming.

The usually mild climate of Fairha-
ven has recovered from the furry OF
last week and returned to its normal
condition. Yesterday was a perfect
dream of delight, the atmosphere being
balmy and pleasant and the sky
swept of every cloud. Overcoats
and shawls were the exception rather
than the rule. One of the especial fea-
lures of the days pleasure was the
beautiful sunset, golden shafts (which,
long after the sun had gone behind the
horizon, crept eastward to where Mount
Baker threw its regal head against the
sky and painted the grand old mon
arch's crest with a skill surprising
that of the worlds most famous mas
tiers, the light being reflected back
into the face of the heavens and giving
the effect of a double sunset. Were it
possible to reproduce the day with all
of its surroundings on the Bay to the
shivering hosts of the East, no better
advertisement could possibly be given
of the charms offered the home-seeker
by this matchless climate. To quote
the words of a resident, 1--WE would not
have houses to accommodate the crowds
which would come pouring in upon

The suggestion in yesterdays HER
AID concerning the ACCESSIBILITY Of sub
scribing for certain number of its
weekly edition and sending them to
friends and inquirers in the East as a
means of advertising Fairhaven is
meeting with considerable approval on
the part of the different real estate
firms and others interested in the
increase of the city's population. A
gentleman residing ON the Bay re-
marked to a representative of the HER
AID that his friends back East wanted
to know something about the city in
which he was living, and as he hadn't
the time to write them all he desired
to say he thought that by sending them
the paper he would give more reliable
and comprehensive answers to their
questions than by mere correspond
ence, and consistent with his declara-
ton gave the names of several of his
friends and promptly paid years sub
scription for each. The idea is good
one, and deserves endorsement by all
the residents of the city.
