There is no volume that dwells 81

much upon the importance OF child
life as the Book. And the tendency
today is TO look after the welfare OF
children more than ever. Congress
man Peters, OF Massachusetts, said in
the house, few weeks ago:
THE child of today is the Nations
ruler of tomorrow. The children Of
the present are the citizens of the
future. Our civilization advances in
exact proportion to our success in put
ting children upon a plane little
higher than that on which their par
ents stood. 1t is the glory Of our
civilization that more and more we
consider the welfare of the child"
| These are christian sentiments
though they were uttered in congress.
The little waif, not the one only
who is pretty and attractive, or "aw-
fully cute as some express it, in
the eyes of the Master, is as import
ant and precious as the child of the
well-to-do who lives in a luxurious
| -
home. From an economic and civic,
point of view, he is worth more than
the other child, because of the possi-
bilities for good or evil, for usefulness
or degeneracy wrapped up in his tiny
body, For the determining factor as
Ito its future rests with society, with
| the people who will help or hinder
him. And, to be a normal child and
become a normal man, he must have
all the physical comforts and the
mental help that go to build up human
! life on the right basis. The more help
less the child is, the more should be
done for him. Society owes 1t to him.
In the ancient world, children bora
weak, or with deformtties or other de-
fects. were killed at once, lest society
should have to look after them as use
less burdens. This was the survival

Forest Fires Do Little Damage

During the past season there were
14,570,000 feet of timber destroyed
by fire, while 4o5,oS0, 900 feet were
killed, according to the report OF J. K.
Welty, state forester and fire warden
to the board of state forest commission
ers. An area Of 10,250 acres Of mer-
chantable and second growth timber
was burned over, but the report shows
that less than two per cent OF the tim
Der of the state was touched by fire,
and the season on the whole is re-
garded as a favorable one, in regard to
the loss caused by forest fires. In
many of the counties there was no
damage done, but Skagit county sus-
tanned the heaviest loss. The expense
OF the service this year was much less
than last year and the department will
be able to turn back into the state
treasury $4,000 of its appropriation.

NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH AT TUNNEL
LYMAN Durand Receives Severe Burns
from Live Wire Carrying 5000
Volts

Lyman Durand, Great Northern
fireman we'll known in this city mar
rowly escaped death last Friday morn
ing at Cascade tunnel when he came
into contact with an electric. wire car
rying $500 volts. Durand was on top
of his engine at the time of the acci-
dent, having just finished taking oil
and was preparing to return to the cab
when his head came in contact with
the trolley wire overhead which is used
to supply power to the electric motors
which run thru the tunnel. That he
was not instantly killed is miracle
but thru the interference of providence,
he escaped fatal injuries.
He was taken to the Everett hos
pital where it was found that his feet
and legs had suffered most, several of
his toes being burned so badly that
they had to be amputated. There was
also a bad burn on the top of his
head, but it is believed that he will re-
cover rapidly unless the wounds refuse
to heal which oftentimes happens in
burns caused by electricity.
1t was first reported shortly after the
affair that if he did recover, he would
be cripple but al, later reports are to
the contrary.
His father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. P. Durand reside in Seattle but
formerly lived in this city.

LOCAL MEN ORGANIZE
NEW MINING COMPANY
Mines are Located in AlaSka-leayen-
worth will be Headquarters
of Company.

Articles of incorporation are prepared
for the Thomas Culross Mining Co.
The incorporators are D. M. Thomas,
Guy A. Hamilton and H. E. Carr.
Capital stock $5OO,ooO, shares s1.Oo
each. The object is to open up and
operate the mining claims located on
Culross Island, Alaska by M. G.
Thomas & Sons. Three shipments of
ore have been taken out and shipped
to the smelter at Tacoma and have
shown an average value OF S8l.28 per
ton. This ore was taken ont by the
Thomas's under adverse conditions,
carried on their backs from the mine
to the beach and brought in small
launch to J.atouche for shipment.
The property is located on good har-
Dor, named Thomas Bay in the govern
ment survey and large vessels can ap-
proach to within 1900 feet Of the
tunnel entrance.
A small amount is to be raised to
complete tunnel for taking out this
ore at point that can be worked the
year round, and preparing for loading
the ore on vessels. Stock will be sold
to raise about S2500 at present, and
quite likely this is all the stock that
will ever be sold say the promoters.
This plan is being adopted by the
Thomas's instead OF turning the con-
troll of the property over to some large
mining syndicate, and one OF the feat
ures of the issue of stock is that with
every stock certificate issued there will
be due bill given guaranteeing the
refund OF the purchase money before
any dividend is declared on the capital
stock. Leavenworth is to be the head
quarters of this new mining enterprise,
and it is anticipated that shipments OF
this valuable ore will commence early
next year. Mr.. Thomas will soon re-
turn to Alaska and Guy Hamilton and
H. E. Carr will be the local repre-
sentatiyes Of the company.

Both cards and pool tables are used
this way practically every night in not

proprietor in the game the real pur-

play, and places at which they play all
