nreyailed and a more joyful meeting
than this, our first in the Nooksack
valley, ! never attended. This spirit
of revival that came to us from Brit
ish Columbia spread throughout all
the settlements in the valley. Camp
meetings were held in Everson, Fern
dale and Lynden and all united IN
perfect harmony. On one occasion
when the chief was returning from
a camp meeting at the place where
Everson now is, with three ministers
in his canoe, Revs. LIE Sourd, Tenant
and Dobbs. they met with a sad ca
lamity. The canoe hit a snag mad
split in two, percipitatng them all n
to the swift waters of the river. This
occurred Just above the chiefs Camp
and we could plainly hear the cries
of the natives as they rescued the
ministers. The white men escaped.
but the saddest of all was the drown
ing of the chiefs little granddaughter.
He supposed the mother would save
her, but she was forced under DRIFT
of logs and it was many hours before
her lifeless form was found. Her
mother, from the long exposure ana
the loss of the child, lived but few
days.
Chief Yellowkanim should be I'M,
mortalized for at least two OF MS
noble deeds. The first / have just de-
scribed, and the second was the deed
ing of twenty-five acres OF land to the
Stickney Home, where his grandchil-
dren and those of his tribe could learn
to read and write. These actions would
stamp anyone as philanthropist. He
was indeed a father to his people.
Many of the sick and unfortunate, the
lame, the halt and the blind, found
home in his camp, to end their days in
peace.
The chiefs ideas of justice came to

government was better than ours. HIS
people never killed the birds, ami
mails and the salmon only when the
pangs of hunger forced them to do
so. The doe with her fawn was SPAR
ed. as was the mother pheasant and
her chicks. Not a birds nest was ev-
er robbed. To see these creatures
killed for sport and the wanton waste
of the salmon nets was horror to
them.
Truly children of nature, they loved
her in everything. But what the Chief
deplored more than all else in our
government was the traffic in intoxl-
eating liquor-the old serpent that
was so fascinating and which came to
destroy SO many of his tillicums, who
had never known the taste OF intoXi'
cants, and in their innocence became
an easy prey for the willy saloon

BAD BUSINESS BUGABOO
HAS GONE BUST

Says the Saturday Evening Post:
Many experienced observers have re-
marked that the first half of 1912 wit
messed the bitterest and most uncer-
tain presidential contest since the civil
war. Moreover, the most conspicuous
figure in this contest was the special
bogyman of Big Business, carrying
universal ruin and desolation i'm his
capacious bosom-while Mr.. Bryan, al
- st as direly portentous, stood in the
mfdsle distance on the other side. 1t
is an I'D circumstance that, though
other andgesser presidential contests
have had some yepressive effect upon
business, this one has had none WHIT
ever. To record breaking foreign
trade. bank clearings and railroad
earnings we have referred before; but
in field that takes a long look ahead
namely, in building operations-re-
cords have been broken also. In May
alone permits issued in a hundred and
twenty-three cities involved an aggre-
gate outlay of a hundred million dol
lars, and for five months the total
was four hundred millions.
There is, Of course, a good reason
for this. The infant on the merry GO
round screams in fright upon first ex-
periencing the sensation OF motion, yet
soon learns that it is not only harm
less but pleasureable. After some
years of complete stagnation, motion
in politics filled US with vague alarms.
We are getting used to 1t now and
find that it is perfectly harmless.
Legitimate business has discovered
that there is no danger to Ii in any
political proposition that is now con-
spicuously before the public.

MAKING DOLLARS TALK
Something Never Before Done In
0eAIA

Every dollar spent during the Great
Clear Sweep sale at Helvenston &
Pasteur's has bought 50 worth of
goods.
Many other sales have been tried
and attempted in this city but never
have 50 many people attended a sale,
and been so well pleased as have those
that attended this great sale. 1t is
with much pleasure and contentment
that both Mr.. Helvenston and Mr..
Pasteur can talk Of their sale, for they
have used nothing but fair and honest
means to please the buying public,
and while the past two days business
has been the greatest ever done in
Ocala, still hundreds are vending their
way to their store and anxious to reap
the many good things being offered.
and this week bids fair to be as great
in attendance as was last week. A
visit thru their store will prove that
they offer greater values than any
other store, with many exceptional
good things being placed on sale each
day

The road to Silver Springs from
Ocala is just as good a road as any
one could wish to travel over III a.,
aeroplane. 1t is also better than some
we have seen for OK carts, but it isn't
superfiuously elegant for horse drawn
vehicles and is a crossword breeder for
the drivers of autos. Ths<b best way to
ride over it on a bicycle is to leave
your wheel at home and walk. The
road does very well out to the Ora
hamville fork, but from there on it is
fierce. One of the reasons why more
people do not auto out to the springs
is the two miles of execrable road east
of Fort King church.

The marriage of Miss Lillian, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. l. Anderson. to

at ST. Johns Episcopal church in Jack

Ocala, is a very pretty and accom-
plished young lady, and is we'll and

girlhood friends in this city. DR.

One of Ocala's sources of pride is
the number and beauty of her shade
trees. Shade is good thing, but
some times it is too much of a good
thing. for any place where the sun
never shines in this climate is almost
sure to breed dAease. The city gov
eminent should have about half the
trees cut down and the wood either
sold or stored on one of the city lots
for municipal purposes. In many
places where trees were set out TWEEN
ty or twenty-five years ago, people
didn't allow for their growth and
planted them too thickly. In numer-
Gus locations where stood saplings

ty years ago are now sturdy oaks
with interlocking branches, and they
are too thick for their own good or
that of the people.
