ernmost point of north Holland, where
the low lying islands curve round to
the horizon. looking as if they had
been appointed ocean o%utposts to
Friesland. The voyage might take n
day. but what of that? There is only
one way to travel in H~olland-by wa
ter. The BOAT glides through the brim-
ming canal and passes the clean towns
and the many 'windmills. Life per-
sists, passengers and cargoes come and
go. but you are no longer at war with
the world or in trouble with 1t. You
are a spectator, idling through a sum-
mer day. wrapped in aloofness. con-
tent merely to be moving through the
moist and luminous air. When the en-
virons of Amsterdam are left behind

the reeds that bend as the backwash

COMPANY
ORGANIZED

The EphrataMoses Lake Tele-
phone company was organized last
week and a contract let to Harveg
Hite for the construction of the line
connecting the present line south of
Ephrata with the Moses Lake post
office. Work will begin at once and
the line will be in operation, it IS
believed, in about four weeks or
sooner. The members of the COM
pany are: I. N. McGrath, c. Tic
hack, Harvey Hite, J. NJ. Pate and
Gibbons Bros. & Loving. These gen.
tlemen met Dec. IS at the Office of
Attorney 0. A. Kuck, where the
work of organization was completed.
Thus another enterprise has come
to Ephrata almost without any en-
couragement at all, bringing with it
a business convenience of great
value-one which all will appre-
ciate. 1t is a great step forward in
the advancement of Ephrata to the

and surroundings entitle her

.ILLMEn MAY
FIGHT ROAD
WITH Guns

Everett, Dec. 3f.-If the Great
Northern Railway attempts to fulfill
it's alleged determination to tear Up
side tracks connecting it's main line
with lumber and shingle mills rather
than retreat from the high tariff by
acceding to demands being made BY
Slippers, would such an attempt on
the part of the railroads lead to
armed resistance by the mill men?
A conservative member of the manu-
featuring circle in this city suggests
that such trouble might easily be pre-
cipitated.
''If the Great Northern carries out
it's threat to remove our side tracks
rather than lower it's shipping rates
to eastern points-though l doub
that President Hill would resort to
such an expedient-I believe the
lumbermen would have just provoca-
ton to arm their employees with shot
guns. to repel any such attempts, y
says the manufacturer.

NORTH STAR MAKES
HER TRIAL TRIP
New Craft of the G.. g. O. Company
Makes First Trip Up Stream
Tomorrow.

The new Columbia & Okanogan
Steamboat Company steamer, North
Star" made her trial trip on the Col
umbia river yesterday. She swung
out from her moorings at the ship
yard in the northern section of the
Wenatchee water front and sped
down stream for a short distance,
then turned her nose against the
current and gave test of her
strength as climber of swift water
on the several difficult pulls above
the Wenatchee ferry.
The new North STAR" in her
solid white paint, is trim and capa-
ble-looking little vessel. She is much
smaller than the "Okanogan" or
"Chelan" and Columbia" being 100
feet long and 21 feet wide, but was
designed by the company especially

early 40s, when she came west with

her father worked as a blacksmith
six days a week, preaching in the
Baptist church on Sundays. The ia

Coston came to Spokane. During the
four years she lived in the Deaconess

hours of events in the early part OF
the last century.
