MY ABORIGINAL NEICHB0RS

The following paper by Mrs. Jud-
son was read at the last meeting
of the Old NeighbOrs Club held at
the home of Mrs. Rittenburg:
It will not be out of place on the oc-
casion of our "Old NeighbOrs" picnic,
to give a few "reminiscences out OF
many early experiences with our first
neiphbors in the Nooksack valley.
These natives were very friendly, pos
sessing many good qualities by nature
to make them of great service to the
early settler.
The river was our only thorOughfare
and we depended on our first nelgn-
hors to bring out mail and supplies. We
became acquainted with the advance
guard of our first neighbors when we
landed from the little once-a-week
steamer at the coal cOmpany's wharf,
| in Sehome (now the Elk street part OF
Bellingham) in the spring OF 1870.
| Here we were met by fleet or three
canoes each manned by two natives.

Yellokanim. They had come to escort

Siwash Joe and his mate, Sally, to take
the family in his large Chinook canoe,
while he helped to load our goods and
supplies into the other two. All went

canoe on the Whatcom side( now Ola

Lectures to a Large Audience.

Miss Anna A. Maley. whom the Soc
ialists have nominated as their can
didate for governor, spoke to an at
tentive audience at JamiesOn's hall
last Thursday night. The hall was
filled to seating capacity and closest
attention paid the speaker throughout
the evening.
Miss Maley is a splendid public
speaker and a most intelligent and
well-read woman, and she presented
masterful arguments in favor Of the
cause of Socialism.

The fire department

The fire department attended
two alarms on Monday The first
at o'clock in the evening was
caused by the burning of a pile of
rubbish in the rear of the Miller
Hotel building, the second at II
at night was Occassioned by a small
fire which had started in the
roof of the town hall and which
was caused by a defective chimney.
The department on both instances
responded promptly, as usual.

or by the Progressive management as
whole. 1t is the reactionaries Of
all parties, the organized agents OF
the interests, who are attacked when
ever attacks are made. The Republi
can party, as an entity, has come to be
almost unconsidered in this campaign.
The Progressive relations with that
organization are practically over with
the affair is closed with that force.
To quote a vigorous expression OF the
street, Its goat is got" There is proof
of this in abundance. There is no get.
ting over or around the situation. The
states are talking plainly everywhere,
just as Vermont spoke the other day.
The regular Republican leaders may
assume an optimism over what has
happened and is happening, but in
the bottom of their troubled hearts
they know that the vote in Vermont,

opinion, but verdict.
Efforts of either Democrats or Re.
publicans to deduce anything in their
favor from the result of the late cleo

The result In that state meant nothing
so far as affording any clue to the
probably voting in November. There
, existed in Maine a 'gentlemen's agree

Republicans which was faithfully OBJ
served and which terminated sharply
with the election. Immediately there

cry OF the first is that the Progress

The Progressive party and MT.
Roosevelt are not engaged in wreck

craft has already been wrecked by
the interests controlling it's law-mak-

Those desiring to compete for the
campaign prizes should not let a lack
of knowledge regarding it stand be-
tween them and entering. Call at the
campaign headquarters and have the
things you do not understand eX-
planned. If you cannot call, fill out
the information blank published here

mail it to us. We will send you any
information desired. or a representa-
tive to explain 1t personally.
Ask Questions
Asking questions harms no one
Many opportunities are lost by lack
of inquisitiveness. Therefore do not
let the opportunities our circulation
campaign presents slip through your
fingers through a supersensitive feel
ing against asking to have its details
explained. The possibilities ii pre-
sents are more than worth the effort
it takes to secure the knowledge need
ed to grasp them.
More successes in this world can be
traced through asking questions thar
in any other trait of personality. A
hesitancy or backwardness to secure
information is destructive to success:
and goes hand in hand with misfor
tune. Asking questions is the only
possible way one can quickly distin
guish the opportunities that line the
road to wealth.

EVIDENCE INCREASES THAT
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION IS
ABOUT TO Be RESUMED

few days since the Press printed
news that had not before found its way
into print, to the effect that the Spreck-
els interests were advertising in En-
senada for permission to transfer the
concessions in Lower California to the
southern Pacific company, and that the
latter company would take over the
San Diego and Arizona road and that
the Pacific Electric and Salt Lake roads
would be built into San Diego, the
Southern Pacific also taking a large
slice of stock in the Spreckels street
car system of San Diego.
These statements are part of the
series of rumors that now fill the air
apd which seem to justify the belief
that construction will be resumed on
the San Diego and Arizona railroad in
the near future.
One of the latest developments bear
ing on the subject, and which appears
to be quite definite, is an advertis EN- en- [
appearing in Los Angeles newspaper
for men to work on this railroad
1t is estimated that about a year and
a half to two years will be required
to dig the tunnels on the line, and it is
therefore desirable that work be begun
as soon as possible, if the road is to
be completed for the opening of the
Panama canal to actual traffic.
If the program of the Southern Pa
cific company as. thus outlined was all
there was to the deal, still it would
be of great import both to San Diego
and to this valley, but the deal con
templates, in addition to this, the ex-
tension of the Southern Pacific system
to the head of the gulf of California
and thence southwark along the west
coast of Mexico to Guaymas.
This will put Imperial valley not
simply on a ranscontin entail line to
the east, but also on the chief artery
of trade between the Mexican west
coast and the American west coast.

From the little cockpit, the trained

Between Mustapha Pasha and Adriano-

Sunday meeting for men only. Evan
gelist Armstrong will lecture on the
subject What Is MANI" No man or
boy can afford to miss this. His great
ambition in this discourse is a heart

straight forward manner, leaving the
responsibility with each individual as
TO the issue presented. He is a man
of wide experience, a persuasive plat
form speaker, a strong, winning per-
sonality; a friend to the one down and
out.
Mr.. Farrar will sing a gospel solo.
The singing of gospel has no small
part in Christian work today. Many a
soul has been made to rejoice by hear
ing a song; lives have been blessed and
uplifted; desires for better living and
noble purposes are inspiI ed by song

ed the production of The Girl From U.
S. A. the best moderately priced play
that has been seen in Salem this sea-
son. The whole plot revolves about the
freeing of a beautiful girl from slav-
cry, in which she has been sold through
the cruel Vaccinations of a designin &
stepmother, who desires to appropriate
the family fortune for her own benefit.
Taking everything into consideration,
it was very satisfactory production.
While melodrama was intended to be
the dominant atmosphere, the situa
tions never became strained, because
of the vein of comedy running
throughout the action. Salem can stand
more plays of the same caliber."

every detail of it fully understood by
every resident of the community. We

DEADLY FIRE OF BULGARS
DIRECTED BY BIRDMEN

LONDON, Nov. 1e.-The great value
of aeroplanes in war has been proved
by the Bulgarian army, not only in re-
connaissance work, but for fire control
That the murderous accuracy of the
Bulgarian artillery was due, in =
measure, to the activity of the airmen
is demonstrated in letters received
from the front.
Any attempt by war correspondents
to telegraph news of the employment
during the operations has met severe
censorship, but stories are beginning to
filter through showing that remark
ably effective work has been done by
the aeroplanes.

ent of the London Express, sends a pic
turesque description of the flight Of a
biplane over the Bulgarian army and
