Sunset Magazine for August

Now that the Boy Scout movement
has become so vital a thing in the
lives of American boys. the laughing
face OF youngster dressed as a
cowboy and labeled The Boy
Scout" on the cover of Sunset Mag
azine for August will catch the SYM
pathetic eye, though the name has
no reference to the movement. The
reading article in this number is en-
titled Astoria the Amphibious," in
which Matter V. Woehlke tells very
cleverly the reason why Astoria, one
OF the trump cards in Uncle Sans
hand during his diplomatic game
with England for the division of the
Oregon country, has historic right
to invite the nation to be present
at its hundreth birthday anniversary.
The stirring history. as we'll as the
resources both on land and water, of
this amphlblous' city, makes up an
article of especial interest at the
time of Astoria's notable centennial
celebration in August and Septem-
Der. The article is illustrated with
some exceedingly beautiful views, in
colors, of the land of opportunity at
the mouth of the Columbia. An I'M
usually well handled descriptive ar
ticle is that from the pen of Arthur
W. North, entitled "Alone in the
Yellowstone" Instead of describing
in the conventional way a trip
through the great inter mountain
park at the height of the season.
the author has gone before the snow
was off the ground and when the
park was practically deserted, save
by the wild folk who are part of its
interest

Morris Comes Clear.

Princeton, KY, July 26.-James
Morris, the young man who shot and
killed Lafayette Slaton in This county
was given an examining trial and the
case dismissed. Morris called on the
daughter of SIaton. The father of
the girl objected. When he called
to take the girl to church Slaton or
dered him off the place, and the
evidence showed that Slaton tried to
hit Morris with a heavy cane. Miss
Slaton's evidence cleared Morris.

SENATOR CLARK'S HOUSE
RATED TOO VALUABLE

NEW YORK, July. ls.-The whims Of
men of great wealth cause them to dis
regard expense in equipping their resi-
dences, but add little to taxable values
according to the decision of a state SUI
preme court justice in reducing the tax
assessments on the Fifth avenue man
sion of former United States Senator
Clark, of Montana
Senator Clark brought proceedings to
review the assessment. Experts testi-
fled that the fittings were the most cost
ly that the world could produce, that
the mansion contained such luxuries as
cold storage plants, a concealed garage,
a swimming pool, an art gallery, a
miniature theater. a solarium. and an
astronomical observatory.
I'VE find" says the court in its rul-
ing, that the building is unique in the
sense that 1t Is more costly than other
residences in the city and that the own
er by total disregard of expense has
been able to clear all his whims. But

Are You an Heir?

1t is estimated that there are some
thing like 10000 persons scattered
throughout the United States and Cam
ada who are entitled to moneys and
lands now tied up in the English High
Court of Chancery and elsewhere ow-
ing to the inability of lawyers to To-
cate them. The great trouble is that
foreign lawyers. when searching for
lost heirs, almost invariably advertise
for them in London and Edinburgh news
papers. AS these papers are seldom seen
in this country, of course the missing
heir never knows of the good fortune
that is awaiting him or her, and thus
the case drags along in the courts for
an indefinite time. AS an aid to those
interested in Chancery cases, and who
believe they are entitled to an inher-
itance, an enterprising publisher has
prepared an authentic list of persons
who have been advertised for during
the past $50 years. including the famous
Bogardus, Sir Frances Drake, Page,
Springer, Townley, jennings and Harlem
estates, and. unsettled estates in Eng
land, Germany, France. Ireland Scot
land, and other countries. The list is
a very long one, and not only gives the
full name of the heir that is being
searched for, but also the name and adj
dress of the attorney having charge
of the estate in Chancery. Any person
can secure details of this list by sending
a 2-cent stamp to the Royal Register,
