BRINGS REPORTS Of VIRGINIA COLONY.
E. f. Burlev Returns from West,
Meeting Many Former virq;nlans
Whom He Says are Prosperinq.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Burley re.
turned Tuesday from their extend
ed western trip, taking in the
Alaskan Exposition, the Yellow.
stone, Salt Lake and other points OF
interest in their travels, and spend.
ing several days among the Vir.
ginia Colony in, Yakima.
| Mr.. Burley reports meeting a
number of former Virginians at
various points in his travels, and
without exception. says they are
doing nicely and prospering in the
western country. Most marked in
this condition are those who
tied their faith to the Yakima val.
ley, among whom are Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. H. Martin, Mr.. and Mrs. c. E.
P1gott, Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Bailie
aud James Laviolette. Mr.. Burlev
was much taken with the Yakima
valley and the prospects of that
section, stating that the big stories
told of the wonderful possibilities
of the section are we'll founded.
As a proof of his convictions he
purchased a twenty acre tract of
unimproved land, which he will at
once have planted to apples which
will mature and commence to bear
in three years, although they will
not reach maturity tor seven or
eight years. In the meantime,
however, peaches will be set out
aud will produce a full crop the
third year.
Mr.. Burley says he does not know
as he shall move~west, but believes
he has a good investment which
will bring him good returns in ris-
ing valuation. even though he does
not move onto the land.
While in Spokane he met Jas.
McAlpin, former chief of police,
whom he says is doing we'll and
has big interest in a coal mine
which has been proven beyond
doubt and which; will make of him
one of the wealthy men of the west.
In this city he also met A. E. Duns-
more, who is grading lumber aud
who owns a small tract of fruit
land, giving him assurance of a
competence later. Herb Durkee
and John Stauber were among
others met in the western cities,
and many friends here will be
pleased to know that prosperity
has struck them all alike.

Fads, Faszjpns and Home Hints for Wome,s
Cleaning Wooden Garments

The easy way of removina
grease from wool is to sponge the
stain well with equal parts of am.
monia and water, then with clear
water. The ammonia forms a
soap with the fat or grease, and
this is soluble in water and will
rinse out.
II the stain is obstinate, warm
suds of white soap and ammonia
will do good work in most cases.
But when the garment is of a
color which will not stand water
or ammonia, the housewife resorts
to dry powders. For, thin cloths
of delicate tints, pure white starch
makes an excellent cleaner. 1t is
rubbed into the spot and allowed
to remain until it has absorbed the
grease. Dry magnesia works in
the same way, but costs more. "A
paste made of magnesia and wa
ter may be allowed to dry on
some coIors, and will brush away,
taking the grease with it.
White woolens of almost any
kind are best renovated by wash
ing with white soap suds and
borax.
A mixture of four parts of alco-
hol and one of common salt
makes an excellent cleaner for
mems and boys garments.
Turpentine is necessary when
there is grease in great quantity.
The stain is wet with the turpen-
tine, then pressed dry between
clean blotters, which absorb the
compound.
In cleaning, experiment upon a.
sample of the goods before at

having looked at the November

Ito get at the bottom of the affair.
She snatched up another calendar
lying on her desk, a little, separ-
ate day affair, and found that it
also had the 18th marked like the
larger one.
| Della considered the matter in
all its phases. Evidently some
one must have had a red pencil to
make such a mark. To her knowl-
edge no one in the house pos
sessed such an article. Conse-
quently, If the person who made
the ring had left the pencil about
the house, it might lead to the dis
covery of the persons identity.
Upon reaching this conclusion,
Della instituted a search for the
pencil, Almost Immediately her
effort was rewarded. On the big
table in the center of the living
room she found a red pencil.
When just on the point of pick
ing up the article, it's peculiar DO
sition and appearance arrested
her. The pencil reposed squarely
in the center of a large plotting
pad. It's tip was pointed diagonal
ly across the pad to a pile of
books, and the other end had been
cut in such a way as to resemble
the feathers on an arrow. I'm
doubtedly the pencil was designed
to direct someone's attention to
those books. Della looked the
books over quickly. A letter stick
ing from one of them attracted
her attention. 1t was directed to
her, in red, and opening it she
read the following, also written in
red:
