The Deepest Lake in the World

In the Cascade mountains about
seventy-fve miles northeast Of Jackson
vile, Ore, the seeker for the curious
will find the Great Sunken lake, the
deepest lake in the world. This body
Of water rivals the famous valley OF Sin
bad the Sailor. Its walls are said to
average two thousand feet down to the
water on all sides. The depth Of the
water is unknown. and its surface is as
smooth and unruffied as mammoth
sheet Of glass, it being so far beneath
the mountain rim as to be unaffected
by the strongest winds. 1t is about
fifteen miles in length and about four
and a half in width. For unknown
ages it has lain still, silent and mysteri-
Gus in the bosom Of the great mountain
range, like gigantic trench scooped
out by the hands Of genii.

STEEL CASE DECIDED
AGAINST Mr.. ROTHFRT
Judgment Rendered Against Him in
Spokane Last Friday-Must
Refund $500

Judge Huneke ruled last Friday in
Spokane that E. H. Rothert, former
manager OF the Washington Steel &
Iron Co. Of Leavenworth, must refund
approximately $2500, which the ac-
counts indicated belong to the stock
holders Of the company.
The case has been continued from
time to time recently, as Mr.. Rothert
was declared to have been unable to
attend court. 1t was heard last week
when deposition OF Mr.. Rothert was
introduced. He was at the Sacred
Heart hospital recently when contin-
uance was ordered.
Judge Huneke ruled he must refund
money on patents taken out in his own
name not assigned to the company.
He must pay various amounts where
his attorneys were unable to produce
vouchers showing where the expense
was incurred.

A visit to the creamery disclosed the
fact that Mr.. Van Brocklin is making
over two thousand pounds of butter
every month. In October he closely
approximated three thousand pounds.
Cream is now being received from
Cashmere, Wilson Creek and Plain.
From the first two points it is being
shipt here by rail.
Mr.. Van Brocklin says the cream
deliveries are increasing in number all
the time. A number Of the dairy own
ers tell him that they expect to in
crease their herds in the spring. Be-
cause with many it is new thing they
were not prepared with green feed. By
another year many OF the owners OF
cows fully intend to erect silos and be
prepared to give their cows green feed,
which not only cuts down the feed
bill, but increases the milk yield.

LUMBER IMPORTS COME
FROM CANADIAN MILLS
Shingles, Pulp Wood and lath Imports
in 1914 Amounted to Almost
Eight Million Dollars

The following statistical report was
taken from the government records and
was compiled in the forestry depart
ment. It shows to what extent Cana
dian wood displaced American wood
and lumber.
The exports Of logs and round tim
Der from the United States in 1914
were approximately 1873 million feet,
while the imports were nearly 14o mil
lion feet. The exports went to Ger
many, the United Kingdom, Canada
and the Netherlands, whereas the i'm
ports came chiefly from Canada.
The imports Of laths into the United
States during the year were nearly, SOS
million, valued at over $500, 900,
of which more than oo% came from
Canada.
The exports of shingles from the
United States in 1914 were approx
mately Al million, valued at $ll2,4
and the Imports were about 8o5 million,
valued at nearly $3, 100000. Canada
received more than 72% Of the ex-
ports and was the source of about 1870
Of the imports.
The cedar imported into the United
States last year amounted to over II
million feet, valued at nearly one mil
lion dollars, Of which more than half
came from Cuba.
The imports OF pulp wood in 1914
were over one million cords, valued at
over $7,000,000, all of which came
from Canada.
Compared with other countries, the
United States ranks first in the worlds
trade in spirits Of turpentine, exporting
about three-fourths Of the worlds sup
ply. The exports in 1914 were nearly
1o million gallons, valued at over S.
100000.

Will the Wedding Bells Ring!

Miss Clara McNabb, one Of the pop
ular young lady teachers in the public
school, recently resigned her position.
There is nothing strange about this.
Teachers resign for one reason or an
other quite often. But when Mr. VIM.
S. Decker, an old-time and very popu-
lar railroad man asked for leave of
absence about the same time, the wise
ones concluded there was something
more than co-incident, and they be-
gan talking, just as people will talk
when a bashful man treats lady with
unusual Difference. Dame Rumor, that
loquacious and and omnipresent old
lady, on whose shoulders we all lay
heavy burdens, says Mr.. Decker and
Miss McNabb will leave for Spokane
on the same train about Saturday or
Sunday next-which is about as near
as the worthy old lady ever comes TO
the exact truth.

BURT HODGE HITS ROY
LANG WITH A PEAW
Has Been Unconscious five Days and May
Die-TrOuble Grew Out of
a Dog Fight

The two dogs of Burt Hodge and
Roy Lang, both employees Of the Pc
shastin Lumber Co., at Blewett, in this
county, got into fight Thursday of
last week, and Lang separated the dogs
and in doing so gave Hodges dog
kick. Hodge resented this and some
hot words passed. Hodge hit Lang on
the head with peavy-a heavy log
ging tool. From the blow Lang re-
NAMED unconscious five days. DR..
McKeown, who attended Lang, says
he may recover, but an operation may
be necessary. The skull was broken
in two places and seems to press on
the brain. Hodge was arrested and
taken to Wenatehee last Friday where
he is in Jail pending the result of
Lang's injury.

TUNGSTEN IRON ORE
DISCOVERY IN YAKIMA
Deposits on Dumping Lake May Prove
Most Valuable Ever knOwn-USed
for Lining of Cannon, Etc.

What may prove one OF the most
valuable mineral finds ever uncovered
in this country was recently found on
the shores OF Bumpipg Lake, Yakima
county. The discovery is reported by
Richard Ball OF North Yakima, who has
organized the Ball Mining Co. An
other recently formed concern, the
Washington Tungsten Mines Co., will
undertake the development of the prop
erty. Several Seattle men are inter
ested in the mine.
Repeated Investigations of the mine
have enhanced the prospects and the
company states that an unprecedented
snow fall is all that prevents the ship
ment of commercial quantities OF the
ore at this time. Attention is being
given now to the installation OF the
latest mechanical devices, so the ore
may be concentrated to its highest
value before transportation cost is in
cured.
Tungsten is one of the most valuable
of the newer and little known metals.
Its heat-resisting properties are re-
markable. 1t is very hard and when
found is usually in minute quantities.
In the last six months its market price
has quadrupled. Used as an alloy
with steel, in varying proportions, it
makes metal weld adapted for cleo
trical devices, certain kinds OF steel
equipment, the lining Of big guns, au-
tomobile construction and amor plates.
Officers OF the Washington Tungsten
Mines Co. predict that the mine will
play an important part in the future in
dustrial development of the state.

Best Method of Sugar Curing Meat

A woman in Spokane won prize
with the following recipe for curing ba-
con, ham or beef: Mix together pint
and a half of table salt, three table
spoonfuls black pepper, three table
spoonfuls white cane sugar, one table
spoonful cayenne pepper. After meat
has been frozen cut into desired size,
then place meat on good-sized piece
of heavy white muslin and rub thick
coating Of above mixture all over the
meat. Wrap tightly and sew up Sc
curely. Then wrap again in heavy pa
Der like butchers use, tie securely and
hang high in an outside building where
IT is dry, with good air circulation.
Hang so that different bundles do not
touch. Meat put up this way in the
winter months will keep indefinitely
and is good in any season. Ready for
use in about six weeks, and is superior
to any smoked meats.

U.S.. Marine Corps Started 1775

The United States Marine Corps was
authorized by the Continental Congress
on Nov. 10, 177s, and therefore has
the distinction of being the oldest
branch of the service.
Lieutenant P. N. O'Bannon, OF the
U. S. Marine Corps. hoisted the first
American flag ever flown over fortress
Of the Old World when Derne, strong
hold in Tripoli, was taken by assault on
April 81, 1905.
The first regulars who entered the
fortress of Chapultepec in Mexico City,
when it was taken by storm on Septem-
Der 13, 1847, were the United States
Marines under Major Levi Twigg.
Under the command of Robert E.
Lee, later the commanding general OF
the Confederate army, the U. S. ma
rines captured John Brown at Harpers
Ferry in 1859.
A battalion Of marines under Captain
John L. Broome occupied New Or
leans upon its surrender and hoisted
the American flag on the custom house
on April 29. 1862.
A battalion OF marines-646 officers
and men-commanded by Lieutenant
Colonial R. w. Huntington. was the
first American force that landed in
Cuba in 1898, when it established a
base for SIMPSONS feet at Guantanamo,
holding their position against Spanish
regulars who were estimated to number
1000.
The mariAes OF the U. S. S. Oregon,
Capt. John T. Myers commanding,
were the first American troops to enter
Peking just before the Boxer insuuec-
ton broke out in 1900.
A battalion OF marines under Major
L. w. T. Waller were the first to enter
China after the outbreak.
Lieutenant-C Colonel Neville's marines
were the first ashore at Vera Cruz in
April, 1914.
The u. S. marines have carried their
colors into action in Tripoi, Egypt,
West Africa, the Fiji Islands. Sumatra,
Hawaii, Mexico, China, Uruguay, Para
quay, Alaska, Panama. Formosa, Korea,
Nicaragua. Cuba, Santo Domingo, and
now in Hsyti.

Shipping Laws Have Destroyed
Merchant Marine

To one on the outside looking in,
some things seem queer.
For instance, our government has
passed a shipping bill known as the
Seaman's Act that in one sweep has
wiped all the ships under the U. S.
flag in foreign trade off the Pacific. At
least the ships are gone and the own
ers, one and all, say this act did it on
account Of raising cost Of operation to a
prohibitive figure.
Now come the same politicians and
say as long as capital will not operate
ships we will have congress appropriate
$50, 100000 and run some ourselves.
In the meantime, reports say that
American capital is financing Japanese
and Chinese ships which will sail under
those flags and in time Of war would
have to be used against the United
States, and the fact remains that the
U. S. shippers now have to patronize
these foreign ships if they wish to do
foreign business.
The fact also remains that while our
own government can regulate our own
ships out OF business, It cannot impose
these regulations on the ships of an
other country.
Now to the common citizen, who
cannot see behind the scenes on the
political stage, this state OF affairs is in
comprehensive.
First, why shouldn't it be the duty
Of our own government to encourage
our own people in the shipping in
dustry7
Second, if by removing restrictions
on our own ships that are not imposed
on foreign ships, our own cluzens
would build and operate ships, why
burden the taxpayers with .S50,o0o.-
900 appropriation
Third, if private owners cannot op-
crate at a profit under this law, how
could the government expect to do so9
Wouldn't there be deficit LETT to be
raised by taxes each year7
Fourth, does not such a policy on
the part OF the government tend to
discourage the development Of our re-
sources by private enterprise thru the
fear that at any time some unnecessary
or freak legislation may be imposed

LAW TO STANDARDIzE
ALL APPLE BOXES
Congressman Dill of Spokane Fathers
the Bill and Says He Will Press
it to a Vote

Among the bills introduced into
congress on the opening day was one
TO establish a standard box for apples
by Congressman c. c. Dill of the fifth
district Of Washington. This bill pro-
vides for a regular standard box Of the
same size now used in the state OF
Washington, to be used thruout the
entire country. 1t is to be marked
Standard" and any box of smaller
size must be marked so as to indicate
its fractional size as compared to the
. standard. In addition to this the bill
provides that before any box can be
marked and shipped as Standard" the
apples contained must be properly ma
tured, practically free from dirt, insect
pest, diseases, bruises and other de-
fects, and that all boxes containing ap-
ples not in said condition shall be
marked inferior or "Culls." This
provision of the bill will protect the
growers Of high grade apples in Wash
ington against inferior competition with
poorer grades grown in other western
states.
This bill was Immediately referred to
the committee on weights, coinage and
measures OF which Congressman Dill is
a member. In speaking of the bill
Mr.. Dill said:
"Apple-box bills similar to this one
we're introduced in the sixty-third con-
gress, but there was no member on
the committee from an apple growing
section to press the bill forward for ac-
ton sufficiently to secure vote. l
believe there are more individual apple
growers in my district than in any other
single district in the United States,
and think the bill can be passed. Its
passage will be great benefit to the
apple growers Of Washington, because
it will compel all apples competing
with Washington-grown apples to come
up to the same standard"

RESUME WORK MONDAY
Sawmill Will Run All Winter if the Snow
Does Not Compel Another
Shut Down

In a statement made to reporter of
this paper yesterday, Mr.. F. S. Jacob
sen said his mill would commence run
ming next Monday. The company has
considerable number Of logs now on
the mill yard and with the logging
crews busy, they are receiving logs
every week, so that with what they
have on hand and those to come in he
thinks it is practical to keep the mill
running all winter. He says, however,
that if the snow keeps on falling as rap
idly for the next month as it has been
coming down the past six weeks it may
so much interfere with the operation Of
the mill, and make operation so ex-
pensive, that shutting down will be
necessary. He says there is no great
demand for lumber just at this time,
but he anticipates a heavy demand
with the opening OF spring. Prices
have been advanced by the eastern and
southern mills, but only to a limited
extent have the western mills been able
to take advantage of the advance.
Higher freight rates keep the western
mills out of the eastern market. With
the opening Of the new year, or the
breaking up Of winter, better market
for western lumber is very confidently
looked for
