Mike chuckled as he handed one of

came a time when the girl waited in

ceased abruptly.
Mike pondered deeply. The shrewd
eyes could read more than postal
cards, and he was sure that she had
been too fond of this Billy to send him

his face darkened savagely-was the
fellow himself to blame!
One morning as Mike was preparing

indian uprising was at hand. He
tells the story of Crooked Mouth Bot
of Chelan, one of the Indians who
was in the fight 1T was % years
ago when the Indians at Ellensbure
had secured some liquor and were in
a big row among themselves. Fire
arms were brought into play. In g
moment the inhabitants of Ellens-
burg were greatly excited. The In
dams had been troublesome and il
was thought that this was the begin
ming af a general uprising. Imme
diately all the guns in town were
brought into play and the inhabit.
ants of Ellensburg began to shoot
The Indians headed out of town but
were captured and brought to town
and two were chained up to a post
The saloonkeeper who had sold the
liquor, was frightened for fear the
Indians would turn state evidence.
Accordingly he hired the guard to
kill the Indians during the night.
Jimmie Flood, the guard, attempted
to carry out the work laid out for
him. He was unsuccessful, however
and was afterwards sentenced to the
penitentiary for the attempt. John
Hamilt, now living at Cashmere and
chief of the Wenatchee Indians, was
one of those in the Indian party.
Crooked Mouth Bob got out alive and
is now living at Chelan Falls. He
is the son of Indian BattOy, who was
the former owner of the land at
Cashmere, now known as the Murphy
tracts.
Matt Hickey at the time of the fight
was but a boy, but he remembers
the capture in detail.

to inhabit the canyons tributary to
the Wenatchee river. About forty
years ago Bob Batoy, Indian, brought
two pigs from Walla Walla. These
multiplied into hundreds and lived
upon roots and Vegetation along the
mountainside They soon became an
awful class of inbred animals with
pointed noses and hyena-like propen-

THE QUESTION OF RESUBMIS.
SION

In the movement to resubmit the
local option question to the voters
again this fall, it would seem to be
the wise policy not to raise the issue
again unless it clearly appears that
there is a widespread demand for it..
Last year when the council, on its
own initiative, announced that it
would not grant licenses In the flu
ture, the feeling was general that
the voters themselves should have
an opportunity to pass on the Ques-
ton. To this end the petition for
submission was signed by those who
opposed license as we'll as by those
who favored it. After a free and
fair discussion the majority of the
voters voted against license.
This year the question wears a
different aspect. There is no prin-
ciple of snap judgment involved. For
this reason it is to be presumed that
only those will sign the petition for
resubmission who are in favor of the
license policy and they are acting
within their rights when they again
raise the issue. However, it is mere
ly begging the question to contend
that the petition should be signed
generally in order to get an express
sion of opinion as to how the voters
are satisfied with the dry policy Of
the past year The logical view to
take is that those who sign the petit
ton for resubmission are in favor of
the license policy and those who re-
fuse to sign it are satisfied with the
existing policy. There is no occasion
for attempting to bedevil the issue
this year. 1t is clear cut and well
defined and unless public sentiment
is strongly in favor of resubmission,
the best interests of the municipality
would be subserved by avoiding I'M
necessary expense and the unpleas-
ant incidents which are invariably
the outgrowth of such a contest.

GINGER UP AND MOVE FOR

A team pulling together can draw
larger load than two teams of the
same strength can draw by pulling

cross purposes there is only waste,
confusion and retrogression.
In the matter of public improve
ments, it may be admitted that some
mistakes have been made but it is
impossible for the most foresighted
man or men to forecast the future
with certainty. There never yet has

WOULD REFORM
MARRIAGE LAWS
PROPOSED CHANGES IN MAR
RAGE LAWS OF MICHIGAN
LEGISLATURE ASKED TO
TAKE ACTION.

The next legislature will be asked TO
amend the Michigan law in regard to
marriage to do away with the abuses
which have come to the notice of the
county clerks of the state. A resolu-
ton presented by Ralph A. Mosher of
Grand Rapids. clerk of Kent county,
at the annual meeting of the Michigan
Association of County Clerks, at Cadil-
lac, calling upon the legislature for re-
form was adopted and bill will be pre-
scented to the next legislature.
Mr.. Mosher's resolution asks that the
legislature pass bill to prevent the
intermarriage of whites and blacks. a
thing which, while not common I'm

deal of disfavor. The resolution also
asks the prevention of intermarriage
between whites and orientals. this Sec
ton being aimed particularly at the
marriage of white girls with China

contracting parties when marriage
license is issued, the object being to
determine the truth i'm regard to the
ages of the parties. 1t is also asked
that both parties make affldavits as to
their ages. In the past il has been
the practice to ask the person applying
for license to give the age of the 9TH
er contracting party and to make an
affidavit that to the best of his or her
knowledge and belief the age of the
other party is correct. This has pre-
cluded the possibility of conviction in
a number of alleged perjury cases.
In a number of cases it has been
found that parents or guardians giving
consent to the marriage of ward or
child under age, simply have written
n formal consent without stating the
age OF the ward or child. This has re-
suited a number of times i'm persons
under the legal age of sixteen years

marry i'm Michigan under the law.

PATENT
FOR INVENTION
WILLIAM X. HARRIS is GRANTED
PATENT ON NEW DEVICE FOR
MEcHANiCs-WiLL SIM
PLIFY WORK.

william III Harris Of 40S Osceola
street, Laurium. has just received a
letter from his attorneys, Mum & Co.
OF New York, stating that he has been
given a patent on his recent invention.
The invention, Is an Improvement on a
pair of center calipers, a tool for ma
chinists. In appearance, the new cali
per is similar To the old, except that 1t
Is provided with center rod. In this
center rod lies the secret of the in
vention, the purpose of the same being
to find the center of the object meas
ured.
Formerly, to find the center of an
object uDon which work was being
done, q machinist passed his caliper
over IT, measured the expansion of his
caliper and computed the diameter by
simple arithmetic. With the invention
of Mr.. Harris. the center of round,
oval or square object Is Immediately
located. fine tempered piece OF steel
marking the exact center.
The practicability of the tool, its
Sllnpllclly Oh cOIStiuCtloH anu It's BItd'
value to amachinist, has been widely
commented upon by all who have seen
II.
Mr.. Harris formerly worked at the
Tamarack machine shop, but about six
weeks ago was transferred to the An
meek shops. He originated the idea
two or three years ago while at his
work in the Tamarack shop, but all
the details of the invention We're not
perfected until about six months ago.
Mr.. Harris then made the tool and ap-
piled for a patent through his attor-
neys, Mum & Co, of broadway, New
York city. Patents are also pending
in Canada and Great Britain.
Mr.. Harris is an old man and has
worked in the machine shops for many
years, and when he was Informed that
his fortune would probably bring him
about SIS 900 he concluded that a we'll
earned rest was in store for him. Mr..
Harris is justified in feeling elated
over his success. and will retire from
work as soon as his invention begins
to bring returns. The next issue of
the Scientific American will contain a
description of his invention.
