Miss Tanning started in to attend the

ing of a nurse appeared to attract her
more than that of teaching and so
gave up her school work and took up
the study of her present profession.

JUDGE RULES WATCH rs
ARTICLE OF APPAREL

Spokane, Wash-Deciding ques-
ton arising from an attempt by the
county sheriff to levy on a timepiece
owned by J. G. Eddy, to satisfy a
judgment in favor of Leroy c. Waller,
formerly chief of police of Spokane,
Judge E. H. Sullivan in the Spokane
county superior court ruled that a
watch is an article Of wearing ap-
parel and is exempt. Eddy said he
received the watch as a gift from his
father and claimed exemption. This
is the first time the question has been
decided in a court in the state OF
Washington. Judge Sullivan declin-
ed to commit himself when asked to
go into details on the question Of 9TH
er jewellery, but cited statute, which
provides against anyone putting an
amount of money into clothing or jew
elry to be worn when not commen-
surate with his condition in life. In
cases where such an expenditure and
investment Is made for the purpose
of fraud in escaping creditors, such
property Is not exempt. Judge Sulli-
van believes this opinion, not reversed
by higher court, will hold in the SUI
preme court Of Washington, in the
event counsel for Mr.. Waller should
60 before that tribunal.

JAMES j. HILL WILL AID
DEVELOPMENT OF OREGON

Portland, Ore.-The visit Of James
j. Hill and party to Portland during
the past week has been of great sig,
nificance. Accompanied by railroad
officials, Louis w. Hill has left Port
land to make tour of the state. He
will cross Central Oregon and see for
himself what the tonnage possibiliti,
es of that great region are. After
this trip, it is expected that a defi-
mite announcement will be made as
to the expected east and west lines
across the state.
While in Portland, Mr.. Hill talked
freely and his statements mean much
for Oregon. He confirmed his pur'
chase of the Oregon Electric anC
United railways, interurban systems
running out of Portland. and says n
will extend them down the William
cite Valley. He also confirmed hi
purchase of the Pacific & Eastern
but said it was yet too early to tall
of connecting road clear across tn
state. The Deschutes road will O
course go ahead as fast as possible, h.
said and besides all this railroad &C

DISCOVER MARBLE.
Spokane Men Find Twenty Varieties
Near COlville.

Spokane, wash.-Twenty varieties
of Grecian Skyros marble, which has
commercial value of $40 cubic
foot, were discovered by A. N. Jar
man of San Jose, Cal, and w. M.
Boileaus, recording teller at the Ira
ders' National bank of Spokane,
while exploring in Stevens county,
Wash, Is miles northeast of Colville,
few days ago. Arrangements are
now under way, by which the WASH
ington Marble company will expend
100000 in developing the field,
which contains 500 acres.
The Importance of the discovery,
the first find of highly colored mar
BILE in North America, becomes ap-
parent when it is known that more
than 100000 900 is expended annu-
allv for marble used in the United
States alone.
Three Of the largest veins have
been explored at depth, the colors
ranging from deep purple to pure
white. other hues being brownish
grey and pale gold. Sculptors say
the white marble is equal If not OF
better quality than the products OF
Greece or Italy for statuary being
of finer grain, impervious to stain
and moisture and not affected by
ink, oil or climatic conditions.
Charles NJ. Fassett president OF
the Spokane chamber Of commerce,
probably the foremost chemist and
metallurgist. in the Pacific north
west, declares that the discovery Is
one of the most important on this
continent in recent years, adding that
as there are billions of cubic feet OF
marble in the deposits in Stevens
county this Is new resource of al
most inestimable wealth.
The first stone quarry for build
ing purposes may enter into the con-
struction Of home for the Spokane
chapter of the American Woman's
League, which has planned a struc-
ture to cost $4,000. Mr.. Jarman has
sent letter to Mrs. John F. Davies,
treasurer of the chapter, offering to
furnish, free Of charge. all the saw
blocks necessary for exterior and in
terror use.

you shoot them"
But Mr.. Gun, in spite of all
his struggles, could not manage
to take aim without something
to rest on. At this Mr.. Stick be-
gan laughing, saying:
"You certainly are a wonder
ful hunter, but the wild beasts
do not seem to mind you much.
Then Mr.. Gun in his rage
shook his fist at the poor little
rabbits, and they, seeing he could
do them no harm, came nearer
and called out:
Conclude this story. Tell what re-
mark the rabbit made to Mr.. Gun and
Mr.. Walking Stick, and what the re-
suit of this conference was. Then fol-
low the two queer companions upon

THE OLD YEAR

VIZ HEN this reaches you it will be
wv 1910. With the coming of the
W New Year am extending to you
my sincerest wishes for a beautiful and
joyous twelve-month. May all the
blessings of love and work and sun
shine and all the joys of healthy, happy
childhood be yours.
When we have birthdays we often
look back over the year that has passed
and take account of the things that
have happened-check up on our lives,
so to speak, in the way that the mer-
chant balances his books at the end of
the season; and so when the world has
a birthday, men and wonderland you
are all little men and women in the
world-look back over the year that
has passed, take account Of the work
that has been done, of the achievements
of it's statesmen and inventors and art
lists and builders.
The year 1909 will be memorable in
it's history of great deeds. 1t has been
the year of the workers and the build
ers-those who aid in the progress of
the world, who lessen suffering, and
who make men stronger and better.
Let us recall some of the things that
have been done.
First of all, there is the progress in
aviation. Do you know the origin of
the word aviation? 1t comes from the
Latin word "avis,' meaning bird, and
so aviation means the science of flying.
Curtiss and Wright and Bleriot and
Paulhan and the other great avlators
have all but solved the problem of en-
abling men to fly like birds. Many of
these great inventors will be seen in
Los Angeles this month, and I trust
that you will have an opportunity to
see the airships. OF course we all know
that it would be fun to fly through the
air. but it means more than this. The
perfection of airships may first of all
mean the end of war, with all its suffer-
ing and horror. When an army may
send an airship to drop bombs on the
cities of another country, the nations
will hesitate a long time before going
to war. And then, with the power and
speed which have been given to the
great airships, they soon will be avail
able in carrying passengers and freight.
Do you remember the story of Icarus,
who ages and ages ago made wings of
wax and flew with them, and then fell
when the sun melted the max? You
see, even in those days flying was the
dream of men, and now the dream is
coming true. That's what science does
makes dreams come true.
Still another dream has come true.
The north pole has been discovered.
The finding of the top of the world has
been the hope of centuries. In the days
of the old Vikings, Naddod and Fief
and Eric went with their funny old
boats, with turned up noses and huge
sweeping oars, up into the seas of ice
and snow, looking for the pole.
All these great achievements, as well
as many others of which you will think,
will make you glad that you have lived
in this year of 1909, and 1 hope that l
will have many enthusiastic letters
from my boys and girls telling me all
about their own, experiences in this
year also.
With love to you all, and hearty
hope for a glad and happy New Year,
believe me yours affectionately,
