WILLIAM ROUSE
Postmaster of StanWood

The progress and growth Of all in
terror communities are invariably de-
cided by the active interest taken by
the individual residents of each town,
in it's advancement. Communities
that lie dormant are due largely to
inactivity of the people. An example
Of this fact is shown in the boosting
spirit displayed by many residents of
Stanwood, one of the best known be-
ing Mr.. William Rouse, who is serv-
ing as postmaster, and who, never
forgetting the duties of his official
position, at the same time has an eye
single for the advancement of the
town. His appointed to the postmast-
ership dates back to the first of the
present year, but he has already
shown that efficiency and trustworthi-
ness that augurs we'll for the benefit
of the communitv. Mr.. Rouse has

MARYSVILLE

Situated five miles north of Everett,
Marysville is an incorporated town of
an estimated population of 1900. First
settled in 1872. 1t is on the north
branch of the Snohomish river and the
Great Northern railway; and enjoys
distinction in trade matters because
the locality is one of lumber manufac-
turing pursuits. The section is also
the center of agriculture, and attains
large Importance on account of its
steady industrial growth. Transports

STANWOOD

Located twenty-three miles north
of Everett, Stanwood is flourishing
town of an estimated population of
1000 and situated on the Stillaguamish
river and the Great Northern rail-
way. It's industries consist of two
single mills, one saw MILL farmers
cooperative creamery, a milk conden-
sery and fruit and vegetable can
merry. The town is supplied with ex-
cellent spring water by a gravity sys-
TEN, and special water mains from
the Stillaguamish river afford high
pressure for fire protection. Churches
of various denominations and public
schools are in evidence in the town.
The entire district is peopled by
thrifty class of people, who are af-
forded every convenience both of
business and social character the lat
ter consisting of many fraternal or
CARNATIONS and similar bodies.
Stanwood has more than doubled it's
population since the date of it's in
corporation in the year 1903 A small
settlement marked the present bust
ness section, with here and there a
small cabin, situated along the river
banks and accessible to steamboats,,
the only mode of getting freight in
nn ri .
reaching outside towns.
The town has kept pace with the
development of the adjacent country
and with other Snohomish counties.
The activities of the Commercial Club
have been the means of advancing the
community, being responsible for
number of achievements that have
placed the town on the map for all
time.
Only few years ago the people of
Camano island were compelled to
reach town (their only outlet by land)
by crossing the river on a ferry, and
at times much difficulty. The island
is now connected with Stanwood by a
splendid steel bridge, which, recently
completed, has proven to be of great
commercial advantage. Another small
bridge has recently been constructed
crossing Davis slough by Island and
Snohomish counties, making complete
and direct the communication with
this fertile island now being develop
ed into dairy farms.
The most beneficial and recent i'm
provements in Stanwood consists of
its sewer system and paving of the
main streets with brick and concrete
sidewalks. The cost of these improve
ments was $25,000 bonds being is
sued to pay for the same. The towns
electric system is second to no other
in the county of the same size and
population.
The town Of Stanwood\ embraces a
much larger area than that encom-
passed in it's narrow boundary lines,
as it includes that portion of the dis
trict which is locally known as East
Stanwood. This community is rapid
ly growing in a westerly direction,
and may be expected to do so still
further-indeed, until the two parts
become an undivided whole. East
Stanwood has developed wonderfully
during the past few years, and pos
sesses a most attractive residence dis
trict in addition to it's growing COM
mercial activities.

The Third Generation.

John Barrymore tells this story
about his little nephew, Sammy Colt.
the son of his famous sister, Ethel.
This story illustrates how the desire
of the theatrical artist for exclusive
business" is probably transmitted from
one generation to another.
'I was present one night last week
when my sister was putting her young
sters to bed" says Uncle John. "She
has reared them like old-fashioned
children, and taught them to sa their
prayers at night. This night Sammy
hesitated, and there was a worried
look on his face. He had got no
further than Now lay me- when he
stopped.
Say, muvver,' he complained, I
don't fink I'll say that prayer. ] heard
another fellow say it today, and if we
aren't careful it will get al over

DEADLY POISON IN FLOWERS
Some of the Most Beautiful Blooms
Secrete Substances Fatal in
Their Effects.

1t is surprising, and indeed unpleas-
ant, to learn that many beautiful flow
ers, fresh and attractive, have con-
cealed in them deadly poisons, says
the New Haven Register.
In the Alps is a plant called the
laburnum, which puts forth large yell
low blossoms so beautiful that they
have been likened to fountain Of
gold dancing in the sunlight And yet
the leaves, flowers, roots, bark and
seeds of this plant are exceedingly
poisonous In fact, even the grass be-
meath and around the blossoms is so
contaminated by the poison that cattle
must be kept from eating it.
And can you imagine blooms so
beautiful as the narcissus, hyacinth,
jonquil, snow drop and foxglove Sc
GREETING deadly poisons? They do, how
ever, and noxious liquors can be made
from them that will kill human life.
Even the lady's slipper, the quaint
jack-in-the-pulpit and the apparently
innocent little buttercup are likewise
infected. Indeed, the latter is partic.
ularly deadly in it's poisonous secre-
tions. Cattle when grazing always
pass it by, for they seem to know by
instinct that it will kill them. Peo-
MES and larkspurs also contain toxic
fluids.

SPREAD A SPIRIT OF JOY
Fat Man, With His Laugh, DispelIed
Some of the "Riue Monday"
DoWnheartedness.

The scene was crowded street car,
and the time was about eight of a
Monday morning. Blue Monday was
written plainly across the face of
nearly every passenger except one.
He was man round Of face and al
most spherical of figure, who chung to
strap and swayed with the crowd as
the car rounded the turns. In his free
hand he held humorous weekly,
which he read between sways. And
as he read he laughed. Not a dry
cackle or a low chuckle, but a whole
some laugh, which seemed to start
somewhere near his shoes and gather
volume and tone as it rose through
his body and finally emerged from his
parted lips. Some gazed at him with
kind of subdued horror expressed in
their eyes, as if he had intruded on
their private case of blues. But the
majority looked upon him with envy,
and that envy called attention to
common human failing all too common
for the good of the race. We are in
clined to look upon wholesome laugh
ter, especially in public, as sign OF
reprehensible vulgarity. But then why
the envy? Perhaps because the man
seemed to be enjoying himself after
his own fashion, and though his fash
ion might be wrong, the enjoyment
might be all right. There is some
thing refreshing about wholesome
laughter, which is contagious, and it
is probable that those who heard the
fat man laugh went to their work in
better spirits. In that case he per-
formed a real public service, and he
is man to be praised. And in any
case there can be little doubt that the
fat man ate better, slept better and
worked better for his totally uncon-
scious exhibition of rare talent.

Pain Is a Hint to the Wise.

One thing that should be regarded
seriously is pain in any form in any
part of the body. If there is a dull
headache frequently, find out what
causes it. Pain in the knee, the arch
of the foot or at any point should be
taken seriously. Pain means some
thing wrong. It may be brave to
bear it, but it is not wise. Remember
that pain felt in one part of the body
may be the result of something wrong
in another part. See a wise doctor
about it.-Boy Scout Handbook.

TUNGSTEN OUTPUT
IN UNITED STATES

Burma is the largest tungsten pro
Queer in the world, the United states
coming second with about half the
Burmese production, and being closely
followed by Portugal. The tungsten
production of the United States in
l1913 was 1887 tons of tungsten con
centrates containing co per cent tung-
stem acid. Only 4 very small proper
tion of this came from Nevada.
The Shoshone Tungsten Mining com
pany. at Round Muntain, Nye county,
poodueed a small amount of tungsten
ore in the shape Of the mineral hueb-
nerite: while y. ID. Tilford & Co. made
a shipment of tungsTen concentrates
containing the mineral scheelite from
Snake Creek, Bonita district, White
Pine county. Prospecting operations
were also in progress on the scheelite
deposit six miles southwest of Ruby
Valley postoffice on Ruby lake in Elko
county.
Tungsten in the form of huebnerite,
wolframite and scheelite is widely dis
triubted in Nevada. In addition to
the localities named above, it also oc-

Scheelite is the tugstate of calcium
with 500 per cent tungstic trioxide. II
is a heavy. non-me5al1ic, white (some-
times yellowish. broWnish, grayish or
