and respected resident of Essex june
tion. The respondent was also 4 resi-
dent Of Essex He has no criminal reg
ord and nothing could be brought against
him save his habits of intoxcation II
appeared that he used Intoxicating liquor
to excess and that the death Of Mr..
Farley came in consequence Of that
habit.
The victim was dragged under ono
of the sled runners a distance Of 400
yards, until the railroad tracks were

Editor World:

Editor WOrlu.
In your recent issue you invite
correspondence from citizens offer
ing suggestions as to what the Com
mercial Club might do to better bus
mess conditions in Wenatchee, and
as fruit growing and marketing is
the principal source of income in
the valley and upon its success de-
ponds more or less the success of
the journalist, the merchant, and
every other resident, l offer the sug~
gestion that the most impOrtap
thing for the Commercial Club to do
today is to decide to attend in a
body the monster mass meeting TO
be held Saturday at 10 a. m. in the
Wenatchee theater and by counsel
and in every way possible help and
assist the fruit growers in perfecting
their association that the coming
seasons fruit crop may be marketed
in the best possible manner, there
by bringing in more money and put
ting the association on solid footing
for future success. This is vital
question and I hope the Commercial
Club will get busy.

The Smoke Signals and Fire Arrows
of the Red Men.

The Smoke Signals and Fire Arrows
of the Red Men.
Ages before Marconi invented wire
less telegraphy the Indians Of North
America had system Of wireless"
communication of their own by means
of smoke signals and fire arrows.
The settlers wife, looking out from
her lonely cabin on the prairie at the
band Of rowing Indians, learned to note
and understand the Indian smoke sig
nails putting lightly into the clear blue
Of the prairie sky. These smoke sig
nails were sent up in puffs or rings. SO
that there was no chance of mistaking
them for a campfire. The puffs were
made by covering fire with blanket
for q minute. Then the blanket was
lifted quickly. and the smoke ascend
ed. The blanketing process was re-
peated until a column of rings warned
the Indians far and near to ''loOk out"
or "be on the watch" Two smokes
built close together meant Camp
here
Signaling at night was carried on by
means of fire arrows. Their meaning
was like that of the smokes. The fiery
trail left by the arrow in its fight
through the darkness was the same
lied, and a flight Of several fiery ar
rows said, "The enemy is too strong
for u.s.
