HIGH SCHOOL PAPER PUBLISHED.
Students Get Out the First Printed Is
sue of the "Step-Ladder."

The "Step-Ladder," a bright and ably
edited school paper gotten out by the
high school students, made its bow to
the public last Friday, and was very
favorably received. This is far from
the beginning of the "Step-Ladder's"
career, as that is the name that has been
given to all school papers that have been
brought out in printed or written form
by the high school in the past eleven
years, but this was its second appearance
as printed paper. 1t received the hear
ty support of the business firms of
the city, which its managers
no doubt appreciate. Its career for the
remainder of the present school year
will be guided by the following:

Met With Painful Injury.

A. J. Splawn, the well known Cowyche
rancher, met with serious and very
painful accident at the stock yards last
Wednesday evening, and as a result will
be laid up for some time. He is nj pres
ent at st. Elizabeth's hospital. and lat
est reports are to the effect that he is
getting along very satisfactorily. He
was injured while trying to cross the
track between two freight cars. Just
as he jumped up on the drawhead the
engine backed down and started the cars
Mr.. Splawn was jolted around and al
almost thrown from his position. In
trying to save himself from falling mis-
right foot was caught between the
bumpers. The foot was badly crushed,
two bones We're fractured and the great
toe was split open. 1t was at first fear
ed that amputation would be necessary
but fortunately this was avoided.

COM. BOOTH-TUCKER
SALVATION ARMY LEADER TO
RETURN TO ENGLAND.
Has Had Eighteen Years of Success
full Work in the United States
Growth of the Army Un-
der His Efforts.

Commander Booth-Tucker, who for
the last 19 years has had charge OF
Salvation Army work in this country,
is to leave the States for England,
where he is to take up work OF an IN
ternational character. Doubtless the
change to different scenes will be an
acceptable one, as the sorrow for his
wife and co-worker is yet fresh, it be-
ing but a comparatively short time
ago Mrs. Booth Tucker, whilst travel
ing in the interests of the army, was
killed in railroad accident.
Booth-Tucker (Frederick st. George
dc Lautour) was born in India in 1898.
In 1881, after holding several govern
ment positions, he resigned to join the
Salvation Army. From 1882-91 he had
charge of the work in India, and from
1896 labored in London. In the
latter year he came to the United
States, and ever since has been Saliva
ton Army commander of this country,
his wife, Consul Emma BoothTucker,
until her sad death having equal au-
thority with her husband in the United
States work of the Salvation Army.
In the period spent by the Booth
fuckers in laborS here, marvellous
amount of work has been accom-
plished, and America should remember
with gratitude these Jealous workers
for social betterment. Though pau
perdom is less appalling in America
than Europe, the poor we, too, have
always with us, and the Booth-Tuckers
here attacked poverty with weapons
that proved adequate. They worked
effectively in combating the evils OF
over-crowding, the many problems
dealing with the city poor. Comman-
der Booth-Tucker, in a most excellent
monograph on the social relief work OF
the Salvation Army in the United
States, gives a report of the work at
tempted and accomplished in his late
| field of labor.
He estimates that in prosperous
times the United States has at least
| 100000 paupers, and that this mum
Der is alarmingly increased in seasons
OF business depression. In dealing with
the submerged" in America, the
Army worked on these different lines

February, at joint session of the
house and senate, the ballots are
opened one by one by the president OF
the senate, who presides at the joint
session, and handed to the four tellers,

senate and two from the house. These
tellers announce the ballots and make
list of such votes until all have been
disposed of. All the votes having been
ascertained and counted, the result is
delivered into the hands of the presi-

small bodies of water are capital specl-

few who have visited these teeming
waters have mostly been genuine fish
ermen, who are happiest when far
away from civilization. Few c,earings
break the majestic sweep of the grand
old forests; within the she tered bays
the looms laugh undisturbed, and the
wild birds splash in the marshy edges
or upon the sandy shores. Giant pines
and hemlocks cast their dark shadows
upon the sparkling water. The sweet
odor of wild berries greets us as we

was the election of Calhoun for vice

there was no choice for president.

ways.
Moore's paradise lies just east OF
Georgian bay. Of his two camps one
is situated on the shores Of Kah-pee-
kog lake, and the other on the banks
CT the Moon river. 1t has always
seemed to- me that the old guide IA
yored the Moon river camp most,
probably because it was not so much
contaminated by fishermen as that at
Kah-pee-kog.
The Muskoka and Georgian bay
country is truly sportsman's para
disc. 1t is district of charming lakes
lying parallel with the eastern shore
of Georgian bay, and connected with
the Muskosh and the Moon rivers.
These lakes half a century ago were
known as Little Hurons." They are
dotted here and there with numerous
islands. The old forests that border
the shores are peopled with the great
patriarchs of the wood. These forests
are the abiding-place of bear, deer,
hares, grouse, etc., and in the more
solitary wilds of Pine lake, Kah-pee-
kog, Freeman and Conger wolves are
plentiful, and the lordly moose is to
be found. The quiet, secluded creeks

and the former, being encouraged to
take active interest In the new methods
taught, is helping towards reforms that
shall aid us to throw off the reputation
of being wasteful farmers.
The west, especially, has shown favor
to the adoption of women of some agri-
cultural occupation. In California
women have given practical demonstra-
ton of their fitness to be ranked as ag-
riculturists, and have been successful
in the management of vineyards, olive
orchards, and dairies, and one woman
has for years had sole control of a stock
farm near Fresno, where are raised
most of the Percherons used by the city
fire department.
In the preservation and care OF our
threatened forests, there is now evil
denced widespread interest among
women. A Pennsylvania girl, Miss
Dock, of Harrisburg, through travels
with her father in the woodland regions
of her state, became sincere lover oi
the forests, and presently set to work al
serious study of botany and what for
estry was offered at the University o1
Michigan. On the completion of hel
studies, she traversed Pennsylvania
back and forth to talk at teachers ant
farmers institutes on the neglect of for
est lands, the crying need for knowledge
and practice of forestry. Her appeals
before the National Federation o1
Womens clubs, augmented by those o.
another Pennsylvania woman, Mrs. Gift
ford, led to the taking up of the subjec
of forestry by hundreds of clubs; ant
to-day the question is generally agi
tated; work in the interests of saving
our trees is being pushed enthusiastical
ly and Systematically. Quite generally
known is the victory obtained by some
Minnesota women over protesting lum
ber companies, the women through
their efforts obtaining the passage o.

ular votes for either of these candi-
dates. and yet a great deal is said
about the popular vote, and the singu-
lar condition has arisen of the defeat
ed candidates being credited with the
majority of the popular vote, while
they have failed to secure the majority
of the votes of the electoral college.
Such conditions prevailed in the Jack
son-Adams campaign of 1924, Jackson
being defeated although he had over
Sc, 900 more votes than were accredited
to Adams. The Tilden-Hayes contest
of 1876 presented the same singular
features, as did also the Cleveland
Harrison campaign of 1888.
To all intents and purposes, however,
the voter casts his ballot directly for
president and vice president, and he
never thinks of it or views 1t in any
other way. His vote goes to swell the
popular vote, and when one candidate
has a majority of the votes of the
country and still goes down in defeat,

ly understood by many. Here is where

In August and September the rocks
abound with great patches of rasp-
berries, blackberries, dewberries ana
bueberries, while the autumn season
brings with it such vast quantities OF
cranberries as no cultivated marshes
have ever known Around three sides
of Mud lake are marshes that are fair
" burdened with cranberries, the lus-
cious red fruit in its setting of Pc
culiar green leaves being worthy the

through these marshes the deer run

mails find both food and drink, and to
them also come the sportsmen to add
death to the list. How often have
sat in canoe in the small coves,
screened behind the dense tangles OF
hrushwood, and watched the majestic
animals come down to drink. How
often have I seen them swim from
mainland to island and back again.
Moore told me when, in the woods

Tor women, and but three such have
been opened by the army, one in New
York, one in San Francisco, and one
in Chicago. The homes for artisans
hot infrequently take in those that
found the cheaper shelters a turning
point in their lives towards reform
and a higher standard of living, and in
several cities exist Salvation Army
homes of this class. The Army has
dren in New York and San Francisco
and is making one of its farm colonies

ones may learn to become self-sup-
porting and home owners.

haps, the most prominent feature o1
his work in America. In Colorado

large numbers from the city; and
what is the best part of it, have KEEP
them on the land in spite of forebod
ings that the city's hold was tot
strong for the one-time dweller there
in to remain content with rural life
Commander Booth-Tucker says of tn,
farm colonies: There is nothing of
penal character about them. The colo
mist is not mere day laborer withou
any direct interest in the soil. He il
not separated from his family. Th

Fanny S. Wilder, st. Paul, bequeathing
practically the entire Wilder estate OF
So, 900, 900 to public charity works. The

The heirs of the estate endeavored to

tion and remunerative. Miss Cutter, of
Massachusetts, has made pecuniary
success of the business of raising orna
mental trees and shrubs, and her small
fruit department has provided her not
only with interesting study, but re-
warded her financially. Mrs. Margaret
Deland, the well-known writer, is an
enthusiast on the subject of window
gardening as profitable and pleasant
occupation for women, and her own
jonquils are far famed.
In England there is noticed move
ment towards encouraging women to
take part in certain lines of outdoor
work, especially gardening. Lady War
wick has established a guild of girl gar
deners, called Daughters of Ceres, and
a year ago put 40 young women in
charge of the grounds of Studley castle.
Recently a garden party was held at the
castle to show what had been accom-
plished, and the visitors could give
naught but the heartiest praise to the
excellent results obtained by the new
set of workers.
