ARAGO, Ore, Ian. 19.-For the fifth
time within a year, w. H. Shredder
postmaster and merchant at this place
has been burned out and evidence
points conclusively to some bitter per
sonal enemy, intent on running the one
upon whom he has veen venting his
malice.
At late hour the store and pOstof-
flee was discovered to be in flames set
by an incendiary, and the building was
entirely consumed. Little Of the goods
and none of the contents of the post
Office was saved. The loss is about
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
Four times before has Mr.. Schroeder
been burned out. Once it was his
store, once his creamery and twice his
single mill.

but the Price Came too High
Will Wait a Year.

Because she was only II years old
and could not find her father to get his
written consent, very pretty maiden
was refused the license which would
furnish authority to minister to unite
her in marriage to the man OF her
choice, by County Auditor Honeycutt
Saturday. Saturday afternoon very
handsome young girl called at the
sheriff's ONCE and stated that she de-
sired to procuse a marriage license. AS
there was no statute in the state OF
Washington which would permit of the
sheriff issuing such papers. she was
directed to call on Auditor HOneycutt.
With a determined look on her face
she Immediately walked into the au-
ditor's office and asked for license,
stating that she desired to marry
young man who was working and did
not have the time to come after the
necessary papers. AS usual the first
question asked by the man who grants
permissions to we'd was as to her age
She replied that she was only II but
that her intended husband was q. She
unless she could produce her parents
written consent it would be impossible
to giVe her a license, and the best thing
for her to do was to have one Of her
parents file written permission with
the auditor. This the young lady re-
piled would be out OF the question.
Her mother was dead and she did not
know the Whereabouts Of her father.
He had left her years ago and she had
never heard from him since. In fact he
had deserted her, and as far as she
was concerned she was her own mis-
tress. That fact, however. she was
told by the auditor. would cut no figure
With the law and unless she could eth
er get his permission or that Of a
guardian. the license could not be
granted. She then stated that if that
was all that was required she would
nave the court appoint a guardian.
Hastily leaving the office she went over
to the court house to call on Judge
Brents. Arriving at his office she
found that the judge was not in. and
then she concluded she would call on
the next court official, and into Justice
Huifman's office she went. and lost no
time IN explaining to him her troubles.

agreed that there was an epidemic of
typhoid fever, and severely censured
the health officer Of Yakima county
for his failure to recognize the dis
ease.
Remedies Are Suggested.
The result OF the investigation Of this
special committee served to arouse the
people of Yakima to a realization of
the true condition of affairs. The COM
mittee recommended that measures be
taken at once to clean up the city from
sanitary point Of view: to boil the
drinking water taken from the wells:
the disease was found: put covers on
garbage cans; pay more attention to
sewerage, and to not cut ice from
ponds located near houses where the
disease had been found.
These instructions were carried out
to the letter, with the result that there
was marked decrease in the disease
There were probably 300 cases in va
kima county last fall and twenty three
deaths. DR.. Heg is of the opinion that
the number Of cases Of typhoid fever
will be reduced by one-half next year,
due to the excellent system of reports
he is now receiving. and the prompt
measures for cleaning up thei Infected
districts.
Those who heard Of the epidemic of
typhoid fever in Yakima last fall
thought that disease was on the in
crease in this state. DR.. Heg does not
believe this is true. This year. for the
first time in the history Of the state, it
is possible for the state board of health
to publish the exact number OF cases
Of any disease in this state and Dr.
Heg thinks there was no more typhoid
fever last year than in previous years
The only difference is that the figures
are obtainable this year, and never
have been in the past.
DR.. Heg says in his report:
The prevalence of typhoid fever in
the state has continued for many years
without any systematic effort being
made to decrease it by this beard or by
any municipal or county board. that
know OF. This is, in my opinion. the
most important sanitary problem con-
fronting us. The incomplete reports
we have show over 400 cases of t.
phoid fever during the past nine
months: altogether too many pass IN
noticed. AS material assistance in
era dicating this disease, | feel that we
should rehabilitate our meteorological
laboratory, but we can not do this with
our present appropriation. We should,
therefore, urge upon the next legisla-
ture to give US an appropriation for
this special purpose
From April to December 81 there
were reported to Secretary Heg the
following number OF conta gious dis
eases: Smallpox, 600 cases, Il deaths
scarlet fever, $50 cases. - Deaths
diphtheria, 23} cases, D deaths: ty-
phoid fever. e63 cases, 81 deaths. Some
of the county physicians did not know
they had to report cases OF typhoid
fever. and that accounts for the dis
crepancy in the figures in this disease.

Lloyd brought out the gold pan and
the pretty rocks, and handed them to

of the coarse gold dust and nuggets in
the pan, and the pieces Of rich gold
quartz, you should have heard them

Where did you find that?" they ex-
citedly asked. "Come and show u.s."

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

tho Time, Expense and Troublsf
Mr.. Peary is going on another hunt
for the North Pole. The layman is
sometimes apt to pause and ask him
self whether, after all, the business OF
Arctic exploration Is worth while. The
history of such exploration is story
of long effort.
AS long ago as 1853 Sir Hugh Will
loughby, with several other command
ers, led the way into the frozen north
In the eastern hemisphere. 1t Is prob
able that they reached seventy-two de-
grees north latitude. In the centuries
following, navigator after navigator
went into the north either In the east
ern or western hemisphere. The names
of Barents, Henry Hudson, John
Davis, Frobisher and William Bafin
are written on the worlds map. and
their explorations were, without doubt,
of specific benefit to commerce and the
scientific world. Modern exploration
may be said to have begun with Perry,
who In 1927 reached 50 degrees As min
utes north. The most memorable expe-
dition of the nineteenth century was
that of Sir John Franklin, who In 1919
smiled for the North with two ships and
1873 men. His expedition was lost. In
the next twelve years no less than
twenty-one expeditions from England
or America were organized to search
for Franklin and make explorations to-
ward the pole. After that, polar ex-
plorations lapsed for a time, but about
1875 1t was renewed with fresh vigor.
During the century England, Germany
Austria, America, Scandinavia and
even Italy have sent explorers, and the
achievements of Kane, Hayes. Hail.
Greeley, Wellman, De Long, Nansen
and Peary are too well known to need
specific mention. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have been spent, many
lives lost, men have suffered untold
hardships, even being driven to canni-
baIlsm. And for what? ask the doubt
ers. Merely that they may reach an
imaginary point on the top of the
world-a point which, If found, would
benefit nobody except the explorer
himself and the lecture bureaus. Nc
one has yet reached it. The man who
made the nearest approach to the goa
was Captain Cagni of the Duke OF
Abruzzis expedition, reaching SO de
prees 33 minutes north.
The doubter who is compelled Willy
nilly to observe the actions of explor
ers may take comfort in the thought
that he is at least observing line Of
honest endeavor, that any increase o.
our knowledge of the world is not al
together worthless.-Woman's Homo
Companion.

Hanna" He said he never, never could
consent to such choice for his child.
Gussie Rhodes told her father, with
many a reassuring embrace, that she
would never marry without his con-
sent, and she added: "But. papa dear,
I shall never marry any man but Mark
Hanna"
Then she promised her father not TO
see her lover or write to him for
year at least. She kept her promise,
and in the course of few weeks, al
though she never audibly murmured,
and was sweetly gentle and loving to
all about her. she grew pale and wan.
She neither ate nor slept. The old
father was at his wits end. Some one
proposed a foreign tour for that
change OF scene which is supposed to
work wonders In heart affections, and,
presto! few hours notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board an
Atlantic liner.
For nearly a year the "change of
scene" prescription was faithfully pur-
sued, and the patient, always cheer
fully submissive, gentle and charming,
obviously grew Trailer day by day. AL
most in despair the old man brought
his child home again, and one morn
ing he gathered the courage to ask her
IL she still cared for Mark Hanna.
"Why, father" she replied, 81 shall
always love Mark; told you that, you
know, a year ago"
Poor old "Uncle Dan" Rhodes That
was a bitter day for him, but he was
equal to the occasion. Sending for the
obscure young man, he said to him:
'Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you; that
Is my only reason for accepting you as
her future husband. You are poor. I'll
fix it so Gussie can live as she has
been accutomed to and suppose I
must see you marry her."
Now the coming young man cast
ever SO slight shadow OF his future
greatness on the opportunity Of the

to become a paradise for me, but can

So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married, and the bride went from

He was poor, ploddlng, and to the cas-

young man. Daniel Rhodes was one
of the rich coal owners of the State.
He had one daughter, Gussie, the very
idol of his soul. Around lhis lovely girl
the brusque old father had wreathed
all the sentiment, all the hopes of his
future existence. Mrs. Rhodes, her
fond mother, was a joint idolator at
the daughters shrine, and the doting
parents had dreams of a rich, infiuen-

brilliant social career for Gussie, when,
as usual, the unexpected happened.

JAPANESE ARE FEARED.
President of Butchers Union Will Try
to Keep Them Out.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The invasion of
the American Industrial field by Jap
anese laborers is feared by President
Michael Donnelly of the Butcher
Workmens' union. To head off the
Japanese, Donnelly will introduce a
resolution at the convention of the
American Federation of Labor in San
Francisco next month calling for the
enactment of legislation excluding
them from the United States.
The matter was brought to Don
nelIy's attention by a call made on him
by K. Okajima, Japanese. who was
seeking information regarding condi-
tons in the packing plants. Mr. Okla
jirna showed letters of introduction to
the packers recommending him as the
proper person to furnish them with
Japanese lobar. He said that he had
been told the employers in Chicago
could give work to 500 or 500 men of
his nationality.
Pursuing his inquiries, Mr.. Okajima
asked if Japanese would be admitted
to the Butcher WorkmenS' union.
Donnelly showed the constitution of
the labor organization which contains
nothing operating against the for
eigners.
ct am sure, however" Donnelly
said: THAT the members of the union
would not consent to receiving Jap
anese and the members are greater
tina nthe constitution"
Donnelly then fastened to prepare
his japanese exclusion resolution.
