A girl can be independent if she
choose and earn a comfortable liv-
ing in many ways, and it is not
the worst fortune in life to be born
a girl; not half as bad as it is to
be married to a man that you can
neither love nor respect, and who
makes you a perfect slave to pander
to his comfort and humor and Ca
prices. Think we'll before you
make your choice of business.
When young people go into an
engagement for life as carelessly
as they go to picnic, they must
expect to pay for their folly with
bitter experience. With thousands,
marriage engagement is a matter
of boyish or girlIsh caprice. If
wise marriages aie "made in
heaven" then the hasty, loose selfish
sort are the handwork of the devil.

We're never able to bring him to justice.
After he had been located in Kansas
and Deputy Sheriff Quinn went there
to apprehend him as a fugitive from
justice, two Mennonites secured Mar

ing to affidavits setting forth that he
had given them square deal.
After that the county authorities

some of the members of the colony

FOR CANYON CAR LINE

Glendale citizens are hustlers. The
trustees of that city have granted
permit to e. D. Goode to lay spur
track from Third and Glendale avenue
northerly on latter street to the town
limits. The scheme is said to be to
establish a railway nOrtherly through
Verdugo canyon and on to La Canada
and La Crescenta valleys. The county
supervisors recently refused a franchise
over certain roads because these were
too narrow Now it is said Goode has
secured a wide right of way and is
ready to start work. The line will be
built for the Pacific Electric, and it is
reported that within a year the north

DISASTER STAYED
BY MANS DARING
5ridgevilIe Threatened by Forest Fires
Which Are Racing Through
Pennsylvania and West
Virginia

PITTSBURG, March 25.-Reports of
serious forest fires are coming from
many sections of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Three miles below
Parkersburg, W. Va, the forests are
ablaze and the farmers are working
frantically to stop the flames.
At Bridgeville, near here, the flames
of a stubborn brush fire threatened
two powder magazines in which were
stored 400 pounds of powder and a
large quantity of dynamite. Men had
fought the flames fruitlessly until it
seemed nothing could save the maga-
zines and houses near by.
Harry Skiles. a blacksmith, finally
rushed to one of the magazines,
smashed in door and, with the aid
of the fire fighters, carried the eXplo-
sives out of the danger zone.
In Kennedy and Stowe townships.
about ten miles from this city, fires
have been raging for twelity-four
hours.
An area three miles long and two
miles wide has been devastated of
second growth timber, and the loss
thus far is estimated at $4,000. Oil
derricks, tanks of crude oil and about
300, 900 feet of timber have been de-
stroyed.
Many laborers have been hired at
$3.50 a day to fight the fire by plowing
the ground in the path of the flames.
The fires in this section are spectacu-
lar. Four gas wells and a half dozen
oil wells have become ignited and are
shooting their flames into the air with
peculiar siren-like whistle of rushing
gas.

2 AMERICAN SHIPS
SEIZED BY MADRIZ
United States Authorities Amazed at
Confiscation of Vessels for Trans
port Purposes-WiIi Act
at Once

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, March 20
The Americana owned schooners Lark
and Esfuerzos have been seized by
Emigue Espinoza, brother of Rodolfo
Espinoza, former Nicaraguan minister
to tho United States. They were seized
in the name of the constitutional gov
ernment, taken to Greytown and
turned over to the troops of President
Madriz to be used as transports. The
strength of Madriz at Greytown Is
about 1000 men.
Owners of the vessels protested 10
the American consul, and he notified
the commander of the gunboat Padu-
cah which sailed at once for Grey
town to secure the release of the
schooners. The Paducah, however, re-
turned here today without the Lark
and Esfuerzo, having received instruc-
tions from Rear Admiral Kimball that
as they were flying a foreign flag they
We're not to be interfered with.
This decision of Admiral Kimball, 1t
is said, will stop commerce between
Bluefields and Prinza Pulca, the port
of entry for the mining camps, and
which does a large American business,
as the owners of the other American
vessels fear they will be seized and
held.
The case has been referred to Wash
ington.
