A MEMORY OF
THE Phil IpplNES

Here Is a gem of an essay on the
Philippine islands, written by Ser
geant James E. Blackburn. who, I'M
til recently, was stationed in Spo-
kane as clerk to the recruiting Of
ficer here. He left Spokane for his
home in Richmond. Va. Here is
what Sergeant Blackburn thought
of the islands after long service on
the Island of Mindanao:
The Philippine Islands are a
bunch of trouble gathered together
on the western horizon of civiliza-
tion. They are bounded on the
north by rocks and destruction; on
the east by typhoons and mon
soons; on the south by cannibals
and earthquakes and on the west
by hoodism and smugglers. The
climate is a combination of cleo
trical changes and adapted especial
ly to raising cain. The soil is ex
tremely fertile, producing large

GRADING TO MOSCOW

The Inland Empire Railway Co.
has let contract for grading por-
ton of its line into Moscow, Idaho,
to Harry Woods. The distance COW
cred by the contract is about a mile

depot grounds in Moscow. 1t is re-
ported that all grading contracts

trio line people on the line from
Palouse to Moscow provide that
they must be finished on or before

Golden West.
A little red button, which reads
No seat; no fare" is all that is
necessary to proclaim you a mem
Der of the Strap Hangers league.
To the streetcar conductors the
little badge reads differently-some-
thing like this:
81 am a member of the Strap
Hangers league, and | won't pay
my fare until you give me a seat"
Recently the railroad officials
caused the arrest of 80 men who
refused to pay their fares because
they had no seats. Judge Shortall
refused to hold the men guilty of
any offense.
Every day on every streetcar
line can be seen cars numbering
along literally covered with human
beings, who swarm like flies on ev-
cry available foot of exterior. The
roof, sides, back and front are
black with people who despair to
reach their destination unless they
hang on as best they can. Inside
the cars are packed to suffocation.
Once inside. it is impossible to get
out until the people on the outside
have dropped off one by one, and
the unfortunates who are the first
to enter the car are the last to be
let off, and they are carried blocks
beyond their point of destination.
The red button idea originated in
the Office of the San Francisco
Daily News and spread like wildfire
until it has become the emblem of
the strongest and most determined
band of men and women that ever
leagued themselves together.
