LITTLE GIRL HAS BAD FALL
Vivian Ray Rolls Down Hill and Is
Badly Hurt.

Vivian Ray Rolls Down Hill and Is
Badly Hurt.
Little Vivian Ray is slowly re-
covering from the effects of a very
serious tumble she got last Friday
while over at Pomeroy visiting with
her parents. She was playing on a
hill side with some other children
when she stumbled and fell. She
started rolling, and, unable to stop,
continued down the rocky step for full
ly 60 feet, finally dashing over a bluff
IS feet high and landing unconscious
in the road beneath. She was picked
up by man who happened to be pass
ing at the moment, and was carried
to the house. A physician was sum-
moned but it was many hours before
the little one was brought to. No
bones were broken though several
very bad bruises were sustained, es-
pecially one on her hand.

Jacob Lake. the outlaw, killed In
the fight below Kennewick last We'd
nesday afternoon and young Walter
Larkins, whose right name is said to
be Robert Barker, in Jail at Prosser,
have been positively identified as the
pair VINO attempted to hold up the
Mint saloon at Pasco the Monday
night before the fatal battle near
Kennewick.
Parties in Walla Walla from Pasco,
Saturday. said the Identification of
Lake and Larkins as the holdup men
has been pretty we'll established. Lake
and Larkins, the latter masked,
stepped into the Mint saloon and made
a bluff at holding up the crowd.
Several men in the crowd showed
fight and Lake and Larkins made a
hasty exit out of the front door and
disappeared in the dark. Pasco off,
GERS made a search for the pair, but
could find no trace of them and it is
believed they Immediately left for
Kennewick
Word was received from Lewiston
that the father of young Larkins
lives on Camas prairie, a mile and a
half from Denver, Ida. His name is
w. F. Barker. He went to that Sec
ton of Idaho from Florence, Colo,
about a year ago and rented farm.
He is still in ignorance of the trouble
his son is in. Young Larkins left his
home in Colorado several years ago.

BABY RIBBON REEL.

pirate, although linen on the outside
and china silk on the inside are incest.
Holes are pierced, through which the
scissors are slipped. The other end
holds a bOdkin in a similar loop. The
reel is an exceedingly compact little
trife, and there is no hunting for the
right shade Of ribbon or the implements
to use with it.
Pretty Book Covers.
A pretty cover for book or maya
zine is always an acceptable small
gift and need never be an expensive
item.
First get stiff piece Of cardboard
and cut it the exact size Of the front
and back Of the book it is intended for,
not, of course, including the back
piece which holds the pages together.
You must now select a material to
cover the cardboard with, and of
course any work in the shape Of en-
broidery or painting must be done be-
fore the stuff is stretched over the
cardboard. You have endless scope
for your decorative capabilities. When
linen is used a conventional design
worked in flax thread is most effec-
tive; silk and satin display embroidery
to perfection; figured materials can
have their patterns outlined in gold
or silver thread, and the covers de
luxe can be painted with delicate
sprays Of flowers or small fruit.
Cut the material nearly an inch
larger than the book when it is open
and in cutting allow for the back
piece. Now fold it over the cardboard
covers and stick down with glue or
photograph paste and remember to
notch the material at intervals, as 1t
lies better if this is done.
When the covers are quite dry take
a piece of silk or sarcenet and sew 1t
carefully around the edges Of the
cover and where the cardboard ends
at the back piece stitch the sarcenet
right through very neatly to the outer
material. You must now put a piece
Of ribbon to the TOP and bottom OF
the back piece Ito tieeb.rough the mid
die of the book covered), and you can
edge all around with narrow silk cord

Geological Survey Measures Gas

Statistics of the quantity Of natural
gas consumed in the United States
will be taken next year by the United
States geological survey. Up to the
present time. only the value of the gas
has been ascertained. The adoption
Of this method will make it incon-
yenient. if not impossible, to refer
back for purposes of comparison to the
figures Of previous years. but it will re-
suit in more direct knowledge Df the
capacity of gas areas to maintain a
commercial supply of gas for certain
number of years.
An effort will be made to collect and
publish statistics showing the total
acreage held by natural gas companies
and the acreage operated by them,
with the total quantity of gas con-
sumed in the different states. Owing
TO the fact that gas wells from differ
ent fields are connected to the main
pipe lines, and that gas is only meas
ured where consumed, it is now almost
impossible to procure exact figures as
to the quantity of gas produced from
any particular district.
When natural gas was first brought
into use an idea prevailed that the
supply was ineXhaustible. It was sold
at low rates and usually without meas
urement This method encouraged
waste in the consumption of natural
gas and was shortly abandoned by the
larger companies. They introduced
meters and sold their gas at a rate
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-11-05

per thousand feet by measurement.
There were, however, so many smaller
companies that did not measure the
gas consumed that it was impossible
to secure reliable figures of the pro-
duction and consumption of natural
gas in thousands Of cubic feet. For
this reason the statistics of this valu-
able product have been collected in
terms of value.
In taking only the value of the pro-
duct, however, as a basis for statistic
al record an .incorrect idea is given
of the actual production of the gas
fields, for with the diminution in VOL
ume the price has been increased, and
in recent years in some cases an in
creased value is shown where there
has been a decided falling off in the
production of gas. Experience has
demonstrated that there is a limit to
the production of all fields, and those
who handle the gas have learned that
the unnecessary waste Of this valuable
resource must be prevented. Today
nearly all consumption is sold by meas
urement. It is believed that the time
has come when it is possible to pro-
cure statistics of the quantity of gas
consumed. Announcement of the
Surveys intention to make the endeav-
or next year is contained in the re-
Gently published report by w. T. Girls
void entitled 1.-The Production Of Nat
ural Gas in 1867

Effective Legislation Given bQ
General Assembly
FEW GEORGIA CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL
AMONG MILL OPER-
ATIvEs so COMMON ITS AB-
.SENcE Is NOTICEABLE.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. 5.-Child la
Dor has been given a knockout blow
by the legislation recently given by
the Georgia general assembly, and
which has just gone into effect.
Georgia has cotton mills and manu-
featuring establishments scattered
from one end Of the state to the other,
and there are thousands of people af
fected by this legislation. Agents of
northern mills are watching for it's ef-
feet, hoping it will in a measure at
least, overcome the advantage enjoyed
by the southern mills in securing la
Dor so much cheaper than the mills
of the New England states.
That schools may be built for the
thousands of new pupils, who will be
furnished by the mills, the child labor
law, in its main features applying to
children under IA years of age, will
not go into effect until January l.,
1908, though there is a provision which
must be complied with in 1907, as a
prerequisite to the employment of such
child Any child seeking work in
factory after January 1, 1908, must
show that he or she has attended
school at least twelve weeks during
1907, six weeks of which must have
been consecutive.
There are, however, other provis
ions of the bill which go into effect
Immediately. No child under ten years
of age shall be employed in any fac
tory under any circumstances. No
child under twelve years of age shall
be employed in factory unless a
widowed mother or disabled father is
dependent upon the labor Of the child
for support. If such extreme condl-
tons exist, affidavits from the ordin-
airy Of the county must be kept on
file in the mill office, certifying full
particulars of each case.
Never Attend School.
Illiteracy among the cotton mill OPP
that it's absence is noticeable. Scarcely
any of the children in Georgia have
ever attended school. The result is
that today, throughout the state, there
are hundreds of grown workmen who
cannot read or write. Under the pro-
visions of the new law, thousands Of
children under fourteen years of age
will have to leave the mills during the
coming year for at least twelve weeks
of school, that they may gain admit
lance as an operative in 1908.
Columbus Affected Most.
Columbus, with a string Of large
cotton mills three miles along the
Chattahoochee river, will be one of
the cities most affected by the new
legislation. Over five hundred chill
dred will be forced out of the mills
here, and the result will be better
wages for mill labor
Anticipating a heavy influx of fac
tory operatives and their families to
take the places of the children who
are leaving the mills, small city has
been built just north of this city, where
wide streets and shaded lawns sur
round hundreds of small cottages that
are ready for occupancy. In the GEN.
ter of this city is the new Secondary
Industrial school which opens Octo-
Der 1, and will be devoted entirely to
teaching the children who leave the
cotton mills and others living in the
city, trades at which they will be
able to find profitable employment in
the city.
