NEW CHINA AND THE
FAMINE PROBLEM

Two great changes for the better in
the attitude in China toward famine
conditions have taken place which, In
the midst of the rapid progress which
China is making, are in danger of be-
ing overlooked, writes Earl II. Cressy
from Shanghai. The first is the growth
of the conviction that the time is past
for pouring rice into therat-hole of
famine, n the other is the action Of
thenew government in undertaking the
responsibility for the relief Of the
present and the prevention of future
famine.
Such conditions as those which exist
at present have had much to do in
bringing about the present revolution,
and the men of the new China clearly
realize that permanent prosperity and
peace of their country depends in large
measure upon the economic welfare Of
the people.
The present famine is a greater cal
amity than any that China has faced
for scores of years. The estimates Of
a month ago, according to which D.
100000 people were facing starvation,
are now out of date. Appeals from
new districts are coming in almost
daily to the office of the Central China
Famine Relief committee. Already in
many districts the death rate is high,
and children are being sold in order to
purchase food. In a district person.
ally examined by the writer during the
last week in January, fifty-five homes
in a number of country villages in
north Kiangsu were thoroughly ex-
amined. In only II home in eight
vas there any rice. The food every
where found in preparation consisted
Of sweet potato leaves and carrot tops,
while one family in three was eating
elm bark. In these fifty-ive homes
four dead were found, and many 9TH
ers who could live only a few days at
most. In this district at least two out
of three are certain Of death unless
there is help from outside-and there
are still four months before harvest.
These conditions are typical Of the
whole north Kiangsu famine area,
where missionaries who for many
years have been thoroughly familiar
with conditions estimate that 1000. 900
people are facing starvation.
Whenever there is n question rs
to the reality Of famine conditions, test
work is offered by the Central China
Famine Relief committee at such a
low wage that only those who are in
great need will apply. This plan has
been used in two places, and the
great numbers who have come and re-
NAMED at work indicate the severity
of the conditions. AS a general thing
there is in China no possibility Of
question concerning the desperate need
Of the people in the famine districts.
To the sick and those incapacitated
for work, relief is of course. given
outright. The committee aims to con-
serve the self-respect of those able to
work by giving help only in return for
labor, and at the same time to build
dykes and big bitches which will pre-
vent future famines, provide an object
lesson in reclamation to the Chinese
landowners and officials, n give the
people some hope of the future. A

KILEN-SCHMADEKA.

Word was received Monday of
this week, in the form of tasty
wedding stationery, of the mar
riage on last Thursday, March
21st, at Los Angeles, California,
of Miss Grace Schmadeka, and
Mr.. Joseph Cornelius Kilen, two
OF Grangeville's well known and
most highly esteemed young peo-
pie. The announcement came as
decided surprise to many, but
to number of the intimates of
the contracting parties, the news
had been awaited with some ex-
pectancy.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris III. Schmade-
ka, of this community, one of
the old and prominent pioneer
families of the Camas Prairies
section. Here she grew to wom-
anhood, knows everybody and
counts everybody a friend. Joe
kilen, the happy groom, made
Grangev'lle his home for a num-
Der of years, and has host of
friends here. He is bright
promising young business man
and for a time was assistant cash
Ter of the Grangeville Savings
and Trust Company, having left
recently to go to California,
where his parents are temporarily
soJourning, in search of health
for the mother.
The bride and her mother re-
Gently left here for California

but probably with the serious in

two young people. The marriage
was performed by the Presby-

the presence of the immediate
relatives. The future plans of
the newly weds are not known,
but for the present they announce
themselves at home at 5028 Pasa-
dena Ave-, Los Angeles. The
Globe with their many other
Grangeville friends sends greet
ing and congratulations to "Mr.
and Mrs. Kilen."

MAKES RICH QUARTZ FIND.
Lee Morris Finds 12-Foot Vein of
Gold Bearing Quartz in
Lawyer Canyon.

Lee Morris, of Green Creek,
was in Grangeville recently and
made filing ON mineral claim on
Lawyer Canyon, just northeast
of Green Creek. He seemed to
think at the time that he had
struck very rich find, but the
discovery did not impress any one
here as of great Importance.
However, it would seem that
there is every indication that Mr..
Morris has really found something
worth while. w. S. Hamill, who
was in town Wednesday says he
has examined the prospect, that
the lead is about twelve feet in
width, and looks good to him !;
that number of men who have
had experience in mining have
looked the strike over and pro-
nounce it a great find, the quartz
showing free gold. Samples have
been sent away for assaying, and
a report from same is expected
soon. The following account TAX
en- from the Cottonwood Cnroni-
Gle is correct with the possible
exception that the mineral vein is
almost on level with the creek,
and in a deep and almost mac
cessible gorge. The Chronicle
says:
"Word was given out here Sat-
urday of the discovery of what
may prove to be valuable mine
by Lee Morris in Lawyers Can
yon north of his farm, east of
Green Creek, a couple of weeks
ago. Mr.. Morris and his son had
been fishing down in the canyon
and in climbing back up the hill
they came out on top of a high
ledge. The boy walked to the
edge of the ledge and his father
cautioned him to keep out of
danger. In doing so he noticed
a tree that had been uprooted by
the action of the storms and pick
ed up a quantity of the quartz
that had been uncovered by the
falling of the tree. He took these
samples home and later discover
ed that they were quite well
sprinkled with gold"
