METEoRITE FOUND.

weighed about four pounds and fell
about quarter Of mile north of
Myrtle. Mr.. Glasby says Mr.. Dibble,
a merchant Of Myrtle, was returning
from Lewiston on that evening and
saw the fragment fall about 100 yards
from where he was. Mr.. Glasby and
some friends were on their way home
from the ball game at Clifford and they
also saw the meteor. but did not sus-
pect a portion Of it had fallen 80 close
by. They were informed by Mr.. Dib-
BILE of what he had seen and went in
search Of the meteorite. 1t was found
buried about four inches in the ground
and when taken up crumbled to pieces.
While the earth about the spot where
1t fell gave no particular evidence OF
having been in anywise disturbed. 1t
is said that around the edges OF the
supposed meteorite the grass and dirt
apparently had been scorched or burn
ed. Quite a number Of Myrtle believe
Y is said. that the substance found was
a portion Of the meteor, and carried
away a piece of 1t. The meteorite was
not found till next day and when dis
covered was in a perfectly cooled state.

which is very plentiful in parts OF this
section
We are inclined to think that Mr..
Glasby and others who think they have
piece of the meteoric stone are very
much mistakenly A number Of Lewis
ton people who observed the phenome-
non thought the meteor bursted on the
hillside just across the Clearwater.
while Orofino citizens believe 1t came
to earth in that vicinity. Yet it is n
matter OF fact that it appeared to go to
pieces far north of Spokane. and there
fore could not have bursted in the
Myrtle section. A gentleman OF this
city who observed 1t from the start and
who knows considerable about astron :
ony, places the lighting point far hn
in northern Canada. II started at
about midway between the eastern
horizon and the zenith and took a
northerly direction. 1t is estimated
that the atmosphere encircling the
earth extends anywhere from so to sc
miles above it's surface, and taking in
to consideration the well understood
fact that no heated body will give of
light till it comes in contact with the
air. the meteor at the starting point
could not have been less than so ol
so miles away. and at the angle it took
in descending would make the poin1
at which 1t would strike the eartf
many miles to the northward.

Was it that the life of an invalid so pleasant
to the young Engshman, that he got well so slowly!
and was it that his nurses task was sad pleasure,
that those two, the girl and the boy sat for hours
at time in silence, reading their thoughts in each
others eyes?
To the girl at least the days were sadly happy.
The invalid told sometimes-sowly, that she
might follow him in the few English words he had
taught her-of his home of his sisters, of his
mother and in time he told her too the story OF
Jesus, His life of charity earth, and of the
promise He had given of a happy eternity to those
who should follow in His footsteps. He taught
her many of the old hymns that dear to
himself and after awhile she learned to sing some
of them to him when he was not strong enough to
sing them for her
Finally the long nights grew shorter, the SHOWS
began to leave the mountain-sides, and bright
colored flowers began to spring up in the tundra.
Then it was that the sweetest memories came to
the bow in the punches of blue vioets, wild roses,
fOrget-rne-nOts and marguerites that every
day placed by his couch of furs, and perhaps 1t
then too that the flower of love bloomed in the desc

In the bitter days that followed the death of Ralph
Woodburn, Mary Makridoff became the good angel
of her people; she ministered to her own bleeding
heart in nursing the sick, waiting upon the aged
and mothering the little children. She was called
"Oueen of the Innuit" by those who knew how
completely her life was given to her people
Time went on, and Mary Makridof grew older
she realized that she must follow in the footsteps
of all the women of the Innrit, and SO she married
one day Charlie Augensook, the bravest, cheeriest
and most promising youth of the village. But
instead OF settling into the ways of her people, she

and no longer did Mary grieve with hopeless grief
for the father she had lost.
When the days were fine the boy and the girl
would sit for hours by the sea, the one watching
for the ship that was to take him back to England,
half in dread of its coming, for the parting that
must follow, the other in fear and trembling lest
her latest dreams of happiness should end. In
these DAYS Mary learned to speak the English
language fairly well and she learned many things
about the big world she had never seen, and with
naturally quick mind and retentiVe memory
she became the best-educated woman that lived

to Point Barrow, and the Asiatic continent

Thirty years ago, Mary Makridotf, the daughter
Of an Eskimo woman lived with her father, a half

Boring Sea. She merely one in a squahd
village of Innuit Cor Eskimauan) natives-a young
girl Just coming into her legacy of womanhood.
But even then she was haloed in the minds of her
humble neighbors as being something above them
Selves and the little smattering of Russian lore she
had learned from her father gave her a measure OF
ascendancy over the people of her tribe. She
seemed literally a flower, born to blush unseen
and waste its sweetness on the desert air.
The destiny of this girl came in d fierce equinoc-
tia1 storm bitter autumn night when she was
fourteen years old. Far out beyond Sedge Island,
that hedged in her bleak home from the open sea,
was discovered whaling ship in deep distress from
the storm. As the natives watched through the
cold mists of the short gray day, her rigging went
by the board, and toward evening the doomed
vessel struck upon the rocks and her bones were
piled upon the beach.
Ivan Makridoff and a dozen of his fellow-Vll-
layers manned their frail bidarka and went to
the rescue not waiting for the calming OF the sea-
That was an anxious night in the poor Eskimo
village for Mary MaIridoff, who deeply loved her
father and for the other women whose sons and
husbands had gone on their mission of mercy.

Long years have passed since then, and Charlie

Mary Makridoff still regns as Queen over the little
village at the mouth of the Sinroc1 River, on the

On Monday last the people of our
city were grieved to learn that William
G. Townsend was no more, having
passed away Monday afternoon after
a lingering illness of several months.
His death while not unexpected was
nevertheless shock to the citizens OF
this community who we're hoping
against hope that he would win in his
battle against disease and would once
more be found in his accustomed
place of business.
Mr.. Townsend was born in Grace,
N. Y, in 1888. He was married to
Miss Julia A. Selby of Darien, N. Y,
in 1855. One child, daughter, now
Mrs. G. D. Marshall of this city, was
born of this union, who with his
widow survives him.
Mr.. Townsend came to Sank Centre
in 1881 and has been continuously
engaged in business here ever since.
He was twice elected Mayor of the city
once i'm 1893 and again in 1897 and
was one of the most faithful and
conscientious officials that ever served
the city.

PEACE
Japan Yields on Question of In

The Desirable Result is larqeIy
Due to President RooseveIt's

On Tuesday the civilized world was
electrified by the news that the Peace
Commissioners had agreed on terms
of peace, and war would end in the
Orient.
Japan with magnaminity as gener-
Gus as it was surprising in a nation
flushed with Victory, yielded on the
question of indemnity and thus
demonstrated to the world that she
could be as generous in peace as she
was valorOus in war.
Japan gains every point she claims
at the beginning of the war and Sc
cures the southern half of the island
of Sakhalin.
President Roosevelt, who was in
strumental in having the Peace Com.
mission called, really acted as arbitel
between the two nations, and was
more instrumental than any mar
living in bringing about final agree
ment, and he has won additions
renown as the greatest diplomat ane
peace maker of the age.
