EARTHQUAKE; spain
Two SEVERE SHOCKS SUNDAY
PUT PEOPLE in PANIC.
No Loss of Life Reported Felt Heav-
lest in District of Elche-People at
Church Severely Injured by Rushing
for Doors-People Are Camping in
Open Fields.

Alicante, Spain, Feb. 22.-Severe
earthquake shocks were experienced
Sunday morning throughout the whole
district of Elche. The shocks began
early, the first occurring about a. m.
The most serious disturbance, which
came while the people were assembled
at mass in the village church, caused a
panic among the congregation, who
rushed to the doors, throwing down and
trampling under foot score or more of
women and children. The furniture in
the houses was overturned and crockery
and windows broken.
At Orevillente, a town of 10000 in
habitants, about'19 miles from Alicante,
there were two severe shocks between
and $3.50 a. m. Houses rocked and
swayed at an alarming angle and the
people ran to the countryside in terror.
They are now camping in the open
fields

BLAMED FOR IRON MERGER
Senate Committee Says President
Roosevelt Shielded an Illegal
Move

Washington.-By a vote of three to
two, the subcommittee of the commit
tee on judiciary, which has been in
vestigating the merger of the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron company and the
United States Steel corporation, de-
cided that the president was not author
lied to permit the absorption.
The committee found also that the
president was equally unauthorized to
direct the attorney general not to in
terfere with the merger and not to
enforce the federal statutes against it.
1t was decided also that as both com
panies were engaged in interstate COM
merce the absorption was in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law. 1t was
found that the effect and purpose of
the absorption were to monopolize the
iron ore supply of the country and
generally to eliminate the Tennessee
company as a competitor of the United
States Steel corporation.

Decay of the Teeth.

OF all the physical ailments to which
the human race Is subject, decay of the
teeth is perhaps the most general and
widespread. This Is true at least of
modern times; for examination of an
Client skulls has shown that although
the ancients suffered from decaying
teeth, they did not suffer to such an
extent as we do to-day. The examina-
ton of the school children of the pres
ent day betrays an appalling state of
affairs in this regard.
We know that the tooth itself is COW
cred with a shield of enamel which Is
Intended to remain intact and preserve
the dentine, or real tooth material,
from the assaults of harmful germs
| formed In the mouth principally by
reason of the Judgment Of particles of
| food between the teeth, or in small de-
pressions and dents. Certain kinds of
food, especially sugars and starchy
foods, If allowed to remain In contact
with the teeth, set up an acid fermenta-
ton, during which the bacteria which
are produced literally feed upon the
teeth, first eating away the enamel, and
when that Is gone, burrowing down In
to the dentine until the pulp Of the
tooth is exposed. AS soon as they reach
the nerve Of the tooth, terrible tooth
ache announces the fact.
There are three causes behind all this
trouble: improper food, wrong ways of
eating and lack Of cleanliness. The mis-
take of serving too much overlooked,
soft food is responsible for much of the
trouble, and this is just as true for lit
tie children as 1t is for adults. The
teeth were given us to bite with and to
chew with, and If they are defrauded
of their natural work they become I'M
healthy.
In addition to this certain articles of
food, such as raw apples and nuts,
which call for mastication before swal-
lowing, are absolutely cleansing in their
effect upon the teeth. Mechanically
they remove masses Of soft decompos-
ing material. Besides this, masticat-
ing promotes the flow Of saliva, which
in its turn helps the growth of the good
germs which are needed to fight the bad
ones for 1t should be remembered,
when 1t is said that the mouth Is al
ways full of bacteria, that the good
germs are making a brave fight there as
well as everywhere else in the body.

Obeyinw Orders,

Some years ago the Yankee schooner
Sally Ann, under the command of Cap

necticut River. Mr.. COmstock, the
mate, was at his station forward. Ac~
cording to his notion of things the
schooner was getting too near certain
mud-tiats which lay along the port
shore A writer in Everybody's Maya
zine tells the story
The mate went aft to the captain.
and with his hat cooked on one side,
said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a lee
tie too close to them fats. Hadn't y@
better go abeout?"
The captain glared at him.

HORTICULTURAL EXPERT
Of Pennsylvania in Northwest Looking
for Location.


George W. SloOp, state horticultural
expert of Pennsylvania, is in the north
west as representative of a syndicate
of Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists,
spying out land for the establishment
of large orchard. He has visited the
largest orchards in the Yakima, We
natchee, Spokane, TOucet and Columbia
river valleys and will go into the Hood
River and other districts in Oregon and
central Idaho, also taking in the Boun-
Diary district, in southeastern British
Columbia. He said in an interview:
Conditions and opportunities for
orchardists in the northwest are favor
able, but I have not as yet made up
my mind as to where the best location
for a large orchard may be had. When
I have finished my trip through the
northwest [ shall return to the east,
confer with my hackers and then re-
turn to this country. At that time L
shall decide upon a location and estab-
lish an orchard.
Mr.. Sloop talked with many orchard
lists and ranchers in eastern and cen
trail Washington, and, while he admit
ted he was not familiar with the soil
and climatic conditions, he was able
to give them valuable information of
a general nature, including hints on
the correct method of pruning fruit
trees. He also noted that in the cen
trail Washington valleys there is a ten
dency to plant too many varieties. The
list, he said, should be confined to two
or three of the best varieties, to be
decided upon by conditions and the
markets, and then brought up to the
highest state of perfection, adding that
in this way the best results will be
obtained from commercial orchards.

DESCENDANTS OF WASHINGTON
Are Now Living in the State of Wash
ington.


There are, living in the state of
Washington, four descendants of the
family of George Washington. All of
these are descendants of John Angus
tin Washington, brother of General
George Washington, whose birthday
the country celebrated Monday.
These four are Bushrod G. Washing
ton of the Home Builders association
of this city, his two sons, James C.
Washington, of the Fidelity Lumber
company, and Nathaniel W. Washing
ton, an Almira attorney, and Mrs.
Hugh Caldwell, the wife of a Seattle
attorney.
General George Washington had no
children, but had three brothers,
Charles, Samuel and John Augustin,
all of whom settled in West Virginia.
The family tree shows B. G. Washing
ton of Spokane to be four generations
removed from the general s family. His
father was Thomas Washington, his
grandfather was Bushrod Corbin
Washington, his great grandfather was
Corbin Washington, and the last
named was a son of John Augustln
Washington, thus making B. c. Wash
ington a great great nephew of Gen
eral George Washington.
Mrs. Sarah Caldwell of Seattle is a
daughter of Mrs. Nellie Washington
Howard, granddaughter of John
Aupustin WASHINGTON III, whose father
was John Augustin Washington II, and

The United States government has
offered to install this great collection
IN the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc fair pre-
cisely as the chronological specimens
are installed in the United States mu-
scum in Washington, D. c., and will
deliver it to the owner at the close of
the fair, correctly labeled, catalogued
and encased in moth and dust proof
glass cases, which will be forever
loaned to the collection, for it's preser-
walton.
This would enhance the value of the
collection tenfold, with no additional
cost to the purchaser, and eloquently
proclaims the value which the United
States authorities attach to this par
ticular collection, and to the invalu-
able results of the years of research
made by it's author.
Only Opportunity of Purchase.
The opportunity for securing this col
lection can never occur again, since if
this state does not take it now, ar
rangements will be made to take it
east during the coming summer.
1t should, unquestionably, be owned
by the state of Washington, its natural
home, for the use of the State Univer-
sity, and it should be maintained by
the state as the finest, largest, most
complete and most valuable collection
in the United States, of the work of
the Indians of Northwest America.
