MAN TRADED FOR
ROLL OF BLANKETS

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Oct. 81.
To trade a man for a roll of
blankets is rather unusual pro-
ceeding, and the trade. in which
he figured as the man, is a never
to be forgotten event in the life of
William Jarman, who is Sc years
old and once was the king Dodo"
of the Puget Sound Indians. That
was so years ago and Blanket

expects to reach the century mark

In a tantrum the girl struck him
in the face and he came back
home.
Since then no woman has ever

ANTIOCH NOW POOR.
The Ancient Capital Of Syria Rising

The Ancient Capital Of Syria Rising
From It's Ruins.
From the New York Tribune.
The ancient city Of Antioch, once the
fourishing capital Of Old Syria and the
cradle OF the Christian faith, now presents
the aspect Of a poor city arising painfully
from its ruins. 1t is about twenty miles
from the Mediterranean, on the banks Of
the muddy Orontes. which empties at Sue
dea. the ancient Seleucia. Its population is
now estimated at 25.OoO of whom about
5000 are Christians. Its chief resources are
from agriculture, olive trees, silkworms and
the soap industry. The value Of the annual
crop Of cocoons is estimated at more than
O0,0O0, the larger part Of 1t being exported
to Marseille and the rest being spun and
sold in Aleppo. Local Industries utilize a.
part OF 1t for manufacturing tablecloths and
handkerchiefs.
Antioch produces a quality OF soap con-
tanning considerable proportion of pure
olive oil, which is sold all over the sur
rounding country and exported to different
places In Turkey and Egypt. The exporta-
ton of this soap for 1905 amounted to TWEEN
ty-six tons. valued at $54.O85. Part Of the
city's expectations, such as cereals and CO.
coons, Is made through Suedea, where oc-
casionally in the summer season some
steamers and sailing ships call, but Alexan-
Qretta remains the principal port LOT travel
ers. for the whole Of the imports and for
most Of the exported goods. The trip be-
tween this place and Antioch is made by
carriage in eight hours.
The surroundings of Antioch are interest
Ing, being historical ruins and picturesque
scenery, such as Daphne, with it's beautiful
falls and luxuriant gardens of oranges and
lemons. It Is in the vilayet Of Aleppo, and
Is distant from the city of that name about
two days travel by carriage. Within one
days drive of Antioch are the mineral hot
springs Of Hamam, which are largely Wis
tied during the spring and autumn seasons

The Grand Army of the Republic COM
pleted its fortieth encampment at Minneap-
oils. MIMI, yesterday and adjourned to
meet in Saratoga, N. Y. in 1907.
The encampment, after an exciting and
acrimonious debate, decided that a protest
against the erection of a statue to Henry

commander of the United Confederate Vet

The proposal to deprecate the action Of

the following staff appointments: Adjutant

Most Of the people who see the gaudy
pictures advertising shows, patent medi-

always pleasing, and often disagreeably
sensational features on the billboards of

Among the matters discussed by that
body was the growing indecency Of pic
torial advertisements that have for some
timo past appeared upon the billboards. In
some localities the master posters used
their own discretion and excluded such
prints from the boards but there was no
rule about It. In the convention Just held
the matter was taken up and 1t resulted in

the adoption Of the following, which is to
be observed as an authoritative regulation:
Resolved, That the Associated Bill Post
ers and Distributors Of the United States
and Canada condemn the use of all sensa-
tional. vicious and suggestive pictures and
titles for such productions, and hereby in
struct all members. under penalty, to re-
fuse to post, after the expiration Of this
seasons contracts August 16, 1906, such
paper. titles and pictures as may be deem
ed Objectionable"
This is an important matter, showing, as
1t does. how great Is the power OF the bill
posters to exercise a censorship upon the
improper and indecent pictures SO often
sent out through the country by adver-
tisers and to act as protectors Of public
morals. This fact will invest the bill post
ers with a new interest and give them an
Importance in the estimation of the public
which they never previously enjoyed. The
members of the association are bound to
carry out the resolution adopted by their
convention. and in doing so they will &C.
complish good work.
