1000 mile journey. ]. H. Barret and s.
Sumner of Birmingham, England,

last evening and applied for lodging.

across the continent on a wager, offer

native city. The two started from
Los Angeles. California, February IL
and according to the terms OF the
wager, are to be in New York City
by July 20. All OF the distance has to
be made on foot
The two told a very interesting
story to officials of the association
and members who were present at
the time of their arrival. The wager
offered by the athletic club appealed
to the two young men who were at
the time employed as clerks in Birm-
ingham. They arrived in this country
in the winter and went direct 10 Los
Angeles. They selected the worst
part of the journey to make first and
after many hardships and delays have
reached this city several days ahead

Terms OF the Wager.
According to the terms OF the wag-
er. they had to earn their living while
making the journey. This they are
doing by selling postal cards, zith
pictures Of themselves. Both stated
that they would not undertake the
journey again under similar condi-
tions. They do not object to the trip,
but to the fact that they were allow
ed no money to start with except
what they might make by the sale OF
postal cards. Another disagreeable
feature Of the trip is that they were
not allowed to carry any baggage. not
even blankets They had to spend
many nights In the open and suffered
at first from the exposure.

EFFECT OF MATRIMONIAL LAW,

New Criminal Code of Washington
Makes Boom for Idaho Ministers.
Spokane, Wash, June 19.-Since the
enforcement of the new criminal code
in the state of Washington, effective
June II, which requires applicants for
licenses to wed to bring with item
certificates from physicians and rec
concentrations from acquaintances at
testing to their physical and moral fit
ness to marry, justices of the peace
and ministers of the gospel at Occur
d. Alene, Ida, thirty-two miles east of
Spokane, and Wallace, in the heart OF
the lead silver mining belt in the pan
handle of Idaho, are vying with each
other to make their respective aboces
the Gretna Green of modern times.
Here is a sample of the attractive
manner in which printers ink Is used
in the advertising sections of city
newspapers to welcome the prospec-
tive June bride and her lover:
"Be married in Wallace, where no
penalties, premiums or restrictions
confront Cupid. Come to the Sam
uels hotel, where bridal apartment
is maintained. Judge L. L. Leighty,
the marrying Justice will tie your
knots with speed and dexterity."
Twelve licenses were issued in Spo.
kane the first day the new code was
in operation, and it is believed that
the total for the month will make a
new record in this county.
