The w. Q. T. U. has been great
" interested in the laws which
protect the children, and indeed,
this is quite the proper sphere for
the activity of the mothers. We
have a number of ordinances here,
which are good, but their enforce
ment should be given more atten-
ton. 1t would greatly aid the
business men of the town who sell
tobacco, and conduct pool halls, If
they could be furnished with a list
of names of the young men of the
town who are really grown-up, but
lack a few years of reaching the
birthday which enables them to
vote. We believe there are few
business men who Intentionally
violate the law, and such list
would give them change to pro-
tect themselves.

Most beautiful Half-Breed Girl In
Alaska Killed.

Juneau, Alaska-Seven lives lost,
IA persons injured, two of whom are
not expected to live, and the Juneau
hotel and the McGrath building in
ashes are the result of fire which
started in the hotel late Monday night
and was subdued only after the Doug
las fire departments had sent men and
engines to assist the local fire fighters.

the ruins and five more are believed
to be buried in the debris.

ished, was reputed to be the most
beautiful half breed maiden in Alaska.
She was recently acquitted of charge
of numbering her mother.

three-story structure, was crowded
and the entire building was ablaze be
fore the alarm was given. The flame
spread rapidly and soon destroyed tn,

HOLD UP S. p. TRAIN.
Express Safes Blown But Passengers
Not MoIested.

Ashland, Or.-Five heavily armed
and thickly masked men held up the
California express, Southern Pacific
train No. Is, on siding at Gibson,
CAL, while it was waiting to let the
Shasta Limited pass at $3.50 o'clock
Saturday night. The robbers looted
the strong box in the express car and
escaped with the booty. A brakeman
on the train saw five men leap into an
automobile, which headed for Duns-
muir. This is believed to increase
the chance of capturing the robbers.
The express messengers were eat
ing their supper and the side doors of
the express car were open. AS the
train waited, three robbers crawled up
from the brush by the siding, covered
the messengers with their guns, and
scrambled into the car, ordering
"hands up"
The express messengers were told
to stand with their faces to the wall,
and the robbers then blew both safes
in the express car, rified them and es-
capped, accompanied by two other rob-
bers who had been riding on the roof
of the car. No one was hurt The
value of the robbers booty was not
learned.
