BIXBY MAKES
AN EXPLANATION
Trouble Is A MiSunder-
Standing of All
Parties

In view of the following cOmmun-
ication from Mr.. Bixby the Tribune
feels it was mistaken last week In ev
en- indirectly blaming the council for
making fire-rOOm of a part of the
reading-room quarters. The council
apparently believed it was acting in
understanding with the association
and 1t was logicai that the members
should SO think when Mr.. Bixby, their
clerk ana a.tOcney was also president
Of the readlrg loon association. Mr..
Bixbv himself states the misunder-
stan ting as follows
Editor Tribune: With reference to
your article in the matter, taking a
certain room for the fire engines, l
am convinced that the Whole trouble is
d misunderstanding arising from the
TACT that the OTTER OF acceptance, was

Drary and Reading Room Association,
likewise 1 ieel sure that the Assocla-
lion has no Ill feelings towards the
COUNCIL, except tnat they wele jealous
~ guarding what tney considered
theirs.
probably should have exercised
more diligence In getting the members
of the Association together before
the Council acted in the matter, but
understanding the facts as the COun-
Gil did, could not ssee how it would
affect the final result and only as&es
the council for time to see th'
members as matter of cOurtesey tt
them.
, In this 1t seems l was in error
and had known that there would be
any feeling in the matter l certainly
would have dropped my campaign for
sufficient length of time to have
every member of the association not
flied.
As 1t is We have a good fire fight
ing outfit well housed, and splendid
volunteer fire department for the
Town, and Mr.. Edison tells me he is
now satisfied and has no feeling in
the matter.
Respectfully, Frank w. Bixby

meetings is to excite laudable em-

FORBES IN SANITARIUM

w. j. Forbes was, the last of the

where it is understood he will be sent
to some private sanitarium. Mr. For

the vicinity of Lynden. He has
many friends, and this affliction of
the mind which comes as surprise
tc them, is a sorrow.
Mr.. Forbes has been in i'll health
for years, but SO far as most of his
friends knew, this is the first trouble
of this character. 1t took two or

He is a man who has made his

Editor Tribune:-A subject of great

physiological moment to again bring
UP one phase which we should really
work for
Round about Lynden are eight
school districts, there is one which
includes Wiser Lake and Ten Mile.
Each of these districts are sending
their more advanced pupils either to
Lynden or Bellingham.
These districts are Greenwood, Riv-
erside, Timon, Northwood. North
Prairie, Sunnyside, Glendale and Fair
view.
Under the modern ideas of educa-
ton each of these districts should
unite with Lynden into one large
strong district. 1t goes without say
Ing that such movement would i H.
crease the value of each of the rural
schools in results from twenty to !
forty per cent.

BASE BALL BOYS
CHAMPIONS
Lynden Boys win Fifteen
Gus of Seventeen
Games

The Lynden Base Ball Club closed
the season Sunday with a last
game with Bellingham, which it won
by score of 5 to 4.
This was, We think, the fifteenth
game won, out of a total of seventeen
games a record that will be many
years in the breaking.
lynden's phenominal playing was
not luck. 1t was high school science,
professional experience, and good hard
drill. 1t was not any one player OF
two or three players. 1t was team
drill and work this is proven by
the fact that twice during the season
players were injured SO seriously that
they had to quit the team. Dickerson
was one. There is no better ball
player in the county than Johnnie
Dickerson, yet his place was filled
ty substitute and the team went
right on winning. Then there was
Klumb, an almost perfect catcher. He
was wounded and had to quit. The
season was finished by another man ,
and the team went on winning. Do /
you know | have thought sometimes v
that that team could have lost one Ii
man every game and still have gone a
on winning, for those remaining were ST
so perfect a machine that the new 3
players simply fitted into the cog

said by the postmaster general that
fair adjustment might be made under
which the advertising part OF the
magazine should be charged for at
different and higher rate from that of
the reading matter. This would re-

FORTY RESCUED
BY THE FIREMEN
Carried Down adders; 1e Families
Trapped in Tenement
House Fire.

NEW YORK. May 24-There were
sensational rescues by firemen in a
blazing tenement on East 10th street.
Mrs. Mary Miller died in fireman's
arms from the effects of smoke in
halation after she had been draggd to
the roof. while her husband. William
Miller. clutching the eleven-month's-
old son of the couple, was rescued just
in time by another fireman.
Meanwhile tenants were being car
ried down ladders and dropped into
life nets. Fully forty persons were
taken in this way from the burning
structure where members of sixteen
families had been trapped.
