the rust eaten bell, more than a quar-

Bell Announced Trains.
1t was IN 1899 that the bronze bell
was placed on top of a high pole in
Madison. Ind. Thirty minutes before
the arrival OF the trans which at that
time numbered two a day, the station
master rang the bell continuously for
five minutes. This was a signal that
the train would arrive or depart with
in half hour. This gave the country
sile folk, who lived at distance a
chance to drive many miles and catch
the steam cars"
For half century the bell was kept
at the Madison station of the Indiana
polls and Madison Road. Upon the run
ming of many trains at times probably
fifteen or twenty minutes apart the
ringing of the bell as a signal for the
arrival and departure of trains became
confusing. BY that time the clocks had
become so numerous that all families
had one. When the first schedules

PAY DIRT FOUND.

What promises to be one of the
richest gold strikes ever made il
Whatcom county, ii is believed, has
been located on Rub! Greek by
Louis Halfstan and Bert Noonan
The claim has been worked since
October by the two men and has
been paying at the rate of 500 a
day. Efforts were made by the
two men to keep the find secret
but il finally became noised about
when the men came into Marble
mount to make purchases of winter
supplies and paid for their outfits
with gold dust The claim is an
old one, having been abandoned
last spring by the Ruby Greek Min
ing company on account of the be-
lief that II was non-productive
Noonan remained behind after the
company left to seek for pay dirt
and later took in Halfstad as a
partner.
Alread the rush up the Skagit
trail which leads to Ruby Greek has
commenced, several parties having
planned to remain there during the
winter. The trail is still free from
snow. Ruby Greek has been the
scene of mining activities for sew
eral years, and a number of claims
have been worked there. Miners
who have worked there state that
the new strike is undoubtedly all
that is claimed for it. because they
are certai/ that gold exists there
in paying quantities.

Coming to the Electric.

This great play in addition TO It's
historical accuracy and beauty, pre-
sents the contrasts and contradic-
lions of Spanish character II Is
replete with beautiful settings and
bears out our own conclusions that
the Spanish are proud, courteous,
and brave, but given to intrigue and
imprudence. The plot brings Out
the half vindictive and half volup-
tuous nature of court life in the
time of Phillip II.
The story begins with the abdi-
cation of Charles V of Spain, and
follows through his Imprisonment
and the famous inquisition. 1t de-
yelops the interesting trian sle-two
brothers unknown to each other IN
love with the same woman, and a

STRINGENT BILL PREPARED
Desire 10 to Prohibit Shipments to Dry
Territory

Spokane.-A more stringent county
unit local option bill than that prepar-
ed and passed by the senate in 1911
will be submitted at the coming SEES
sion Of the legislature. Whereas the
1911 bill provided for the exemption
OF all cities Of more than 10000 popu-
lation, the draft OF the bill prepared
for introduction at Olympia exempts
only cities of more than $4,000 inhabi-
tants.
The Kenyon-Shepherd bill now pend
ing before congress, prohibits abso-
lutely the shipment Of liquor into a
dry" state. If this bill is passed by
congress it is probable, according to
l.. R. Horton. eastern Washington su-
perintendent OF the Anti-Saloon league
that bill, similarly preventing the
shipment Of liquor from a wet to
dry county may be introduced before
the legislature.
I'VE want to prohibit Spokane and
Seattle breweries from shipping beer
into dry counties" said Mr.. Horton,
but there appears to be little use in
attempting to get state legislation to
this effect SO long as Portland brew
cries may with impunity ship into dry
Washington territory"

AID TO Be SOUGHT.

To keep the Nooksack river with
in bounds, thereby saving many
acres of valuable farm land. an eff
fort in which the local chamber OF
commerce may take an active part
a movement has been started &c
present the matter before the com
ing special session of congress for
an appropriation to straighten the
course of the stream and remove
all hinderances in the way of snags
and bars to the rivers regular
course
In the stretch beteen Lynden and
Everson the river makes several
sharp turns and on one side or the
other is constantly washing at the
banks. while during flood seasons
much valuable land is ruined an,
nually. This land is, much of it
worth from $3.50 to $500 all acre
and is much too valuable and pro-
ductive to be allowed to 60 to waste
even for few years
The work required would probab
ly not be expensive. as such WORK
goes. In many places all that Is
required is to get the snags and
log jams out OF the river bed, Civ
ing the current a chance to do the
work. In a few places it would
probably be necessary to straighten
the river by cutting across curves
But most of these cuts would be
made through places that are the
natural channel of the river, where
il has been turned out of its bed
AT some time during high water by
log jams or other causes.

BRIDGE FUNDS BIG ISSUE
More Than Million to be Asked Of
Legislature.

Olympia.-More than s1,o00,000 for
new bridges will be asked OF the legis-
lature next month by the various
counties OF Washington. The largest
measure to be presented will be that
regarding the proposed bridge over
the Columbia river between Vancou-
yer, and Portland. Or. This structure
will cost about s1.s00,000. of which
amount it is probable Washington will
be asked to appropriate nearly half.
Next in importance is the proposed
bridging of the Columbia between
Kennewick and Pasco. Benton and
Franklin county representatives will
reintroduce a bill calling for an ap-
preparation of 100000 Lewiston,
Idaho. and Charleston, Wash, want the
states TO join in purchasing the bridge
across the Snake river connecting the
two towns The bridge is owned by
Boston capitalists and is Of the ap-
praised value Of $4,000. Tolls being
collected al present are said to amount
to about $50 200 a year.
Still another interstate bridge is
proposed between Newport. Idaho, and
Newport, Wash.

The Reaper, Death, has again
stepped in and removed from our
midst an old and respected citizen.
August Klocke died at his home
near Lynden. on Friday evening,
Decemb Der 81
Mr.. klocke was a native of Lip
pc Detmolt, one of the West Phal-
ian provinces of Germany. He was
born on March 2, 1892, and conse-
quently had attained the ripe age

and varied experiences in life. and
III consequence of his travels, SAY
I any phases of life. Guided by
these experiences, he WAS a keen
observer of human nature, and sci
om failed to judge men at their
true worth. He was charitable to
all. a true friend, and no one was
ever known to ask a favor he did
cot grant if it were possible for him
to do so. Honest in all his deal
ings with his fellow men, he lived
an upright life, and never did he
fail to admonish his sons to be
honest His religion was to do un-
to Others as he wished others to do
rato him.

spacted by all who knew him. He
had acquired considerable worldly
wealth by the constant application
