PLANS FOR MEMORIAL
TRIBUTE TO PoCAHoNTAs BY
SOCIETY BEARING HER NAME.

The Pocahontas Society held its regular
monthly meeting at the Ebbitt House last
evening with a good attendance. Arrange
n.ents are being completed for the erection
Of a monument to the Indian maiden,
heroine OF jamestown, and also the first
American princess and the only one, so far
as history records. who made a foreign
marriage.
The birth of the American nation, the first
permanent settlement of English-speaking
people on the western hemisphere, will be
celebrated at Jamestown, Virginia, In 1907.
It Is thought eminently fitting that some
memorial should be erected at this time to
Pocahontas. the Indian princess to whom
the settlement owed its preservation from
famine and from the attacks of the savage
foe. Capt. John Smith says of her: "Poca-
hontas. the first Christian among the abo-
rhymes. the first Virginian to speak Eng
lish, was called the .Nonpareil Of Virginia.
Now, every once in four or five days
Pocahontas, with her attendants, brought
SO much provision that saved many lives,
that else for this all had starved with hum
ger. When her father sought to surprise
me, the dark night could not alright her
from coming through the irksome woods
and giving me intelligence to escape his
fury. She. next under God, for two or three
years was still the instrument to preserve
tniB COlOuy from Qedt0 famine ana utter
confusion, which IL In those times had
once been dissolved Virginia might have
lain as 1t was at our first arrival to this
day."
Qualifications for Membership.
The organization was perfected last Sep
TENDER and now has about 100 members
This membership is not confined to narrow
lines, but any one who desires to help the
project may become a member, under slight
restrictions. The honorary president Is

and another Of its officers, Miss Henrietta
Keim, daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. Randolph
g. b. Keim. is also lineal descendant
through the Randolphs.
II Is said to be quite an easy matter to
trace the lineal descendants despite all the
years that have passed since the Indian
maiden dispensed cheer aud comfort to the
lonely jamestown settlers. The story care
fully worked out by those particularly In
terested in the genealegy of the family Is
quite romantic. John Rolfe was married to
Po-ca-hon- tas, or Ma-toa-ca the daughter
OF Powhatan by the Rev. Richard Buck
about April 8, 1914 In 1915 Rolfe took his
bride OF England. where she was received
at the court of st. James, being introduced
by Lord and Lady Delaware.

nection with the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific, gave him parallel
lines from New York TO San Francisco.
paign Hartman went to member of
the Republican Congressional Commit

thought of President Roosevelt This
opinion is anything but complimentary.
In general Hartman stated that Roose-
velt was .'1rebrand, that he was ire
sponsible and that his administration
of the office of President was respon-
sible for much of the trouble expert
enced by the business world
The member of the Congressional
committee lost no time in informing
President Roosevelt of what Hartman
had said about him.
Shortly after this incident the Inter-
state Commerce Commission ordered an
investigation of the Hartman merger,
and it is said by the commission. that
all the power at its command will be
exerted to bring about dissolution of
the merger.

the others. They called to the latter
that the fire escapes were in the rear.
Some who had their heads out of the
window, shouting for help, did not
hear. These they dragged inside and
in a minute had gathered all the girls
to them. Then the pair pleaded with
the others to be calm and take hold of
hands and with Miss Lynch and Miss
Long leading they were piloted to the
rear window to the fire landing. Once
at the window the two leaders got the
others out upon the fire. escape and as

hood quickly unlocked iron ladders
for the last stage of the journey and
assisted the girls to the ground.

CHINESE RAISE PRICES

Higgins Co. succeeded in cap
turing 20 per cent of the potato
crop not already controlled by Kinya
Shima before the Chinese growers be-
came wise and jumped their prices
away Up out of reach. But the Ameri-
can firm and the japanese grower had
things just where they wanted them
and were willing that owners of the
small amount of potatoes still left
should hold on to them. The Higgins
Company expects to clear $4,000.
Then the market began to creep up
2 or cents a day, and it is still creep
ing. In six weeks it has gone from
sl.s7k per hundred pounds in carload
lots. to sLs7H.
Merchants have ordered many car
load lots from wisconsin. Minnesota,
Idaho and Oregon But there is the
heavy freight rate in these cases to
keen I'D prices and there is the risk of
loss by frost and delay The freight
from any part of the points mentioned
amounts to rs cents per hundred
pounds That does not relieve the
situation.
There will be no lower potato prices
until next years crop natures, and
even then the Japanese will be in the
field

HOW HE GOT CONTROL

This year he knew. He got control
Of still more territory. When the crop
was gathered the Americans freely
marketed their product. getting the
usual prices Somehow Americans
found that their potatoes were in de-
mand and they soon closed out. Then
it dawned upon them that the Japanese
were not marketing Not only this,
but Shima was quietly purchasing all
the stock that came his way, and
about the only potatoes left were
those raised by the Chinese.
At this period of the game James
Higgins & Co. of San Francisco
and Los Angeles awoke to the situa-
tfon, and within a few days this firm
had buyers out securing the whole
country for potatoes. They raised the
price so that growers were glad to sell
to them, and kept this up until they
had gathered in 10000 sacks, which
they placed in warehouses at Fresno
and Stockton
