HOUSTON EN[ARGES
POTATO QUARANTINE
Forbids Importation Of Spuds
From Any Part Of Europe or
Canada.

Giving no heed to the pleas OF potato
importers and wholesalers that a fam.
Inc IL spuds is impending, Secretary OF
Agriculture Houston has issued an Or
der extending the potato quarantine to
all continental Europe. This action was
taken on the recommendation Of the
Horticultural Board. which, apparently,
oveTruled as insufficient the arguments
of er1issaries from foreign governments
who sought to keep the way open for
expectations to this country.
The Horticultural Board indicates in
its. ruling that the possibility Of i'm
portation Of endemic potato diseases Is
more grave than any reported possibility
of shortage for the present year.
Under the order, importation of pota-
toes from all continental Europe and
Canada Is prohibited after Wednesday.
Another order issued By the Secretary
provides for the admission Of disease
free potatoes from uninfected foreign
Districts under proper regulation and In
spection.

Recommendation that the name Of the
Steamboat Inspection Service of the De-
partment of Commerce be changed TO
Marine Inspection Service of that depart
ment is contained in the annual report
Of Supervising Inspector General George
Uhler to Secretary Redfeld.
General Uhler also recommends that
his bureau be given full powers and
authority for motor boat inspection and
control on the inland waters and navi-
gable streams of the coast He would
license all motor boat pilots, having them
meet requirements of vision and knowl-
edge of the navigation laws.
Accidents resulting in loss of life
during the year numbered 66, with .
total life loss of 436. OF the lives lost
226 were from suicide, accidental drown
ing, and other similar causes, which
leaves only 210 that can fairly be
chargeable to accident, collision, explo-
sion, or laundering. During the fiscal
year 30s,263.o33 passengers were carried
on steam vessels that are required by
law to report the number of passengers
carried. Taking the total number Of
lives lost as 436, it is seen that 695,557
passengers were carried for each life

JeSSe's Letter

Please thank God for me and say
I'm grateful. Tell the neighbor angels

by hungering mortals. Prayers sent
to Heaven are answered, but not let

In the days when l thought this Jes-
Sc person was important, / used to
read the Old Testament, which is full
human with pride and arrogance of
man. But since I learned that this
whole world is only a dream from
which we shall awake, the New Tesla
ment has been my pasturage. Maybe
three moons ago, when my ammuni-
ton had run out, and my neighbor
animals had learned all the little
secrets of my traps and snares, and 1
wondered what God was going to do
about it. OF course l couldn't ques-
ton about His business, but seeing
that likely He intended me to leave
my little worries behind, l made a
good fire in the cabin, lay down in the
bunk, arranged my body to be in de-
cent order in case l left it, and took
my Bible to pass away the time.
l suppose I'd dropped off to sleep.
when something rough began to hap
pen, jolting me back into the world of
fuss. A man in buckskin shirt and a
bad temper, stamping the snow or
his moccasins, shaking me by the
arm. He was my old friend Iron Dale,
a man of the world-which smashed
him.
He seemed to be worried, and that,
of course, was natural to a man like
Iron, lusty and eager, with an appe-
tite for money-whereas poor Polly
had done her best to cure him of his
dollars.
Here was Iron jumping about the
cabin, busy as a chipmunk, with just
the same hurried, funny way of bias
pheming. He had to make fire, cook
soup, and haul things in from out
doors, while he told me news about a
team, sleigh, load of stores Tor me,
and his own services paid up six
months ahead if I'd let him work on
the ranch. He was like little boy
which plays at keeping store, where
you've got to pretend to trade, with
nary a smile, lest he should see and
the whole game turn unreal. So sat
up for soup, which made my loose
skin fit me again as l filled. I'd an
swer to all he did, grave as con-
stable, playing the game of life just
as l used to.

This chapter Is so difficult to start.
1t deals with a time when life had
become impossible unless one could
jump from here to Wednesday next,
and thence to Monday fortnight. OF

Jesse, for David. for me, and for those
to come who may revere US as their
ancestors. Thank goodness, am not

The keenest pleasure which ever
money gave me came when Billy and

happened to want Paris hat, a bag

their getting mixed. AS to surprising
the company, one might as well tickle

So far the impulse had moved me

the journey gave time for that. Leav-

Of an untidy continent. And so, in
the starry middle of a night, l was
met lat Ashcroft.
The civil engineer sent by the Hud-
sons Bay Company was Mr.. Sacrifice
T. Eure. He stood uncovered, and
while his ears froze, spelled his name
to me, explaining that there were two
syllables in "Eure" with accent on the
first. He seemed to convey an offer
Of protection, to claim my friendship,
to take charge of my affairs, and with
perfect modesty to let me know that
he was competent.
He presented his assistant, led me
to the sleigh, showed Billy where to
stow the luggage, tucked me into some
warm furs, congratulated me on es-
Gaping the local hotels, then bidding
my man and his own to jump in, took
the reins and asked which way we
were going. l served as pilot along a
trail of poignant memories.
We slept that night at Hat Creek
station, where fearful George proved
loaded sleigh which had passed last
week on the way to Jesse's ranch. The
teamster was Iron Dale. So far l had
wondered whether my name was
changing letter by letter from Madame
Scotson into Mrs. Grumble, but now
the scent of the pines brought ease
of mind, and in the great calm of the
wilderness one Is ashamed to fret.
Our next march brought US rather
late for the midday dinner to Fifty
Nine Mile House, which marks the
summit of the long climb from Ash
croft to the edge of the black pines.
We drove on, freezing, and right
glad l was to be welcomed with all
the rudy warmth and kindly cheer of
Eighty Mile House. There we had
tea, and secured fresh horses for the
last stage of our journey. l learned
also that the driver intrusted by the
Hudson's Bay Company with provi-
sions for Hundred Mile House had
gone off with the team, leaving his
sleigh still loaded in Captain Taylor's
yard.
the malign bush seemed cowed by
sheer immensely of glittering star
light as we drove on. Only once ven
tured to speak. asking Mr.. Eure to
look out for Ninety-Mile House.
Horses accustomed to bait there would
try to stop. l did not want to stop.
He nodded assent, and, crouched
down beside him, waited until a
brave red warmth shone out across
the snow from all the lighted win
dows of Spite House. Mr.. Eure lash
ed his horses, and in a moment more
we had passed into the night again.
Presently we crossed the little shaky
bridge over Hundred Mile Creek,
then swung to the left into Captain
Taylor's yard. While Tom, the as
