Follard's attack on impure primary
laws was aside from the paramount is
sue; the laws are all right. it's the
enforcement of them which is amiss.
The important issue in this campaign
he declared to be the matter of tax
alton. which Mr.. Pollard had rele-
gated to the rear. and to this qurs-
ton he devoted much Of his time. He

YOUNG WOMAN HAS HORRIBLE
DEATH FROM ALCOHOLIC BURNS
Clara JetSen of WenatChee POurs Liquid
Into Kitchen Stove and is tnyelOped
in Flames

Miss Clara Jetsen, aged 30 years, a
domestic in the home of H. o. Butler,
Of Wenatchee, died Monday from
burns received Sunday morning in the
accidental explosion Of an alcohol
lamp.
The young woman was about to
prepare breakfast. The fire did not
burn well and she got the gallon can
of denatured alcohol and poured it di-
rectly from the can onto the smolder-
ing fire. By ignition there was an ex-
plosion of the can in her hands. The
blazing fluid completely enveloped her
and spread all over the room.
With her clothing blazing the terri
fed girl ran out into the back yard.
Mr.. Butler, hearing the screams,
grabbed a blanket which he threw
around Miss Jetsen and rolled her IN
the grass. It seemed impossible to
extinguish the flames. The fire was
no sooner smothered in one spot than
it broke out in another. Finally he
succeeded, then ran into the kitchen
and extinguished the flames.
Scarcely any part OF the girls body
escaped injury. Besides this she in
hailed the flames. This injury and the
shock are said to have been the imme-
diate cause Of death.
Miss Jetsen came to the Butler
home about six months ago and was
an exceptionally efficient and con-
genial domestic. She is not known to
have any relatives in this country and
was a native Of Sweden.

have no fear that golden opportunity
does not await ii on the coast. The
spirit of progress is rife everywhere in
the Pacific Northwest, and men OF
nerve and self seliance are demanded
everywhere to engage in industrial ac-
tivities. Men Of character and worth
need not hesitate to come to the coast
Of they possess courage, energy and
abundant initiative to seize presenting
opportunities.
