Mr.. and Mrs. B. L. Ryan, came up
Wednesday from Peshastin with Mrs.
w. B. Ryan and his wife, to take the
train for Logan, Montana, after visit
OF two months.
The silver cup won by our band
boys at the Spokane fair three years
ago, as the best juvenile band, was re-
Gently given to Prof. Jas. McDaniels,
teacher of the band, by the boys. This
was very proper disposition to make
Of the prize, as it was largely due to
his efforts that our boys carried of the
honors.
Mrs. Myra Sawyer, who has been
living with the Lsftwitch family on
their Chumstick ranch the past two
years, left here Dec. % for Seattle, to
be with her son over Christmas. On
the way over the train was delayed at
the tunnel and she was exposed and
took severe cold which developed in
pneumonia, resulting in her death on
Monday Of this week. She had many
friends in Leavenworth and the Chum-
stick valley who will regret to hear OF
her sudden and unexpected death.
Mr.. Sylvester says other than lot OF
Office work, about all the business tran
sacted at the forestry Office the past
few weeks was making sales of timber
to farmers and homesteaders, for i'm
proving their land and fuel. Some forty
odd small sales have been made. The
policy Of the government is to help
the ranchers and the cost Of timber for
posts, barns, outhouses and fuel is very
little. To many newcomers and people
in close circumstances this is a great
boon.

AMERICAN MARINES TAKE
HAITIAN STRONGHOLD
Not Single Casualty Among U. S. Ma
rines-F0rt was Considered
Impregnable

A recent Washington news item
about what our marines are doing in
pacifying those turbulent negroes on
the island of Haiti will be interesting
reading because OF the bloodless nature
Of the warfare, as distinguished from
the European conflict.
By the capture and destruction OF
Fort Riviere, an old stone structure
held by superstitious Haitians as i'm
pre- enable and favored OF the military
gods, the rebellious Cacos Of northern
Haiti were crushed, and the pacifca-
ton work Of the United States marine
corps in that section of the turbulent
little island was finished Not single
American marine was injured in the
dangerous undertaking, according to
the official reports just received at head
quarters OF the marine corps.
Fort Riviere was built by the French
when Haiti was a colonial possession of
that country and has been the head
quarters of the Caco bandits for years.
1t has always been a hotbed of revolu
ton, and the marine corps officers real
lied that it would have to be captured
and destroyed before lasting peace
could come to that section.
Major Smedley Darlington Butler led
the expedition against Riviere, and to
the 5th company, under Captain VIM.
w. Low, was assigned the task Of max
ing the main or frontal attack. This
company deployed at distance of
about 1900 yards from the fort and adj
vanced upon it in extended order. The
Caco fire was continuous but the aim
Of the attacking party Of marines was
so deadly that they were enabled in a
very short time to get into position
from which the fort could be stormed.
With Characteristic dash they were up
on the works and altho the Cacos stuck
to their guns until the marines had ac-
tually entered the fort, they were una
BILE to inflict a single casualty in the
ranks OF the sea soldiers.
Major Butler then ordered the fort
dynamited and when the last stones OF
the old structure were destroyed the
revolutionary hopes and ambitions of
the north Haiti Cacos were buried be-
meath the ruins of Riviere.

War Upon Pain

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep a small bottle OF
Sloan's Liniment handy. It is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away. It
is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal,
writes: Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama exposition with
wet feet, came home with my neck
so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied
Sloan's Liniment freely and went to
bed. To my surprise the next morn
ing the stiffness had almost disap-
peared, four hours after the second ap-
plication I was as good as new"

Urges Support of Our Band

Leavenworth, Wn., Dec. %, 1915.
l attended the concert given last
evening by the Leavenworth Concert
Band, known in former years as the
kid Band" and I take this means Of
giving expression to few of the things
that appealed to me at that perform
auce.
The first number on the program
was the SKY Pilot" known all over
the United States as very heavy piece
OF music and one that many Of the
larger bands cannot handle in salts
factory manner. The Leavenworth
Band, composed Of musicians largely in
their teens, handled this selection in
manner that left nothing to be desired.
The other numbers on the program
were OF uniform excellence.
1t is easy for Sousa, lines, Creatore
or Kryl to step before fifty highly
trained and highly paid soloists and
with a wave of his baton make the
thunders crash from dome to pit, the
storm sweep the forest with a mighty
roar of sound, or passing from cloud to
sunshine the cataract sweeps down the
mountainside, every drop flashing in
the melodious vibration Of musical light,
with the birds sweeping thru the green
leaves OF the wood, singing their tunetul
love songs to the balmy air. 1t is
easy, I say, for these great bandmas-
tiers, with their professional following, TO
produce these effects, and when one OF
our fellow-townsmen takes lot of boy
and young men from our midst, and
after teaching them the use of their
instruments brings them to the stage
Of perfection required to play II Trov-
atore" and the Sky Pilot" take my
hat off to Mr.. McDaniels, for he has
done something that if it does not earn
him a niche in the hall Of fame will at
least win him place in the hearts of
the citizens of Leavenworth.
The Leavenworth Band is more than
a mere bandit is an institution. 1t
takes the young fellow with lot Of
spare time on his hands and teaches
him something useful and beautiful. 1t
elevates the higher part Of his nature,
the aesthetic side of him.
The people OF this city should realize
the benefits OF this organization and
patronize and support it. The boys
have dues to meet each month and
whatever is earned at each concert goes
to reduce their monthly payments.
They must have new music continually
and music costs money.
During the past summer we have
had the pleasure of a free Saturday
evening concert in the park each week.
These concerts mean much practice
and work and we should show our ap-
probation OF the boys and their work
in a substantial manner. Let US there
fore resolve that during the remainder
OF the winter we will attend each con-
cert given by the boys and fill the
theater to standing room only.
A little encouragement goes a long
way. Yours very truly,
! N. A. Pearson.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Oct. 2s.-That
he is not an American citizen. but. q
subject of King George OF England,
was the discovery Of w. B. Collett, a
life insurance agent, here. recently.
Ever since his twenty-first year, Mr.,
Collett, now past forty. has been vot-
ing and enjoying all the privileges
of citizenship.
AS a witness in the district court,
he stated that he was born at Liver
pool. England, but never had been
naturalized because his father was
an American citizen. When asked
when his father became q citizen,
Collett found it necessary to cali his
mother and learned that his Mther
received his final papers after Mr..
Collett had passed the age Of TWEEN
ty-one. thus leaving the son Brit
ish subject until he went through
the process Of naturalization. Mr.
Collett took out his first papers i'm

No Hook Hidden Under Bait
When Articles Personally
Inspected at Home.

The Telegram campaign for home
trading finds a welcome response in
the feelings Of Clarksburg merchants.
For several years 1 have made it a
habit to compare the prices OF Jew
lelry advertised and illustrated in the
magazines with our own prices, and
never to our disadvantage.
The same manufacturers supply the
Clarksburg jewelers. as well as the
mail order man. There can be little
or no difference in price where the
same article is in question, the desire
on the part Of the Clarksburg jew
eler to meet competition is powerful
regulator of prices.
To Judge quality and value in Jew
lelry is more difficult than in any other
line Of merchandise, and requires
technical training and experience ac-
CURED only by jewelers., not by shrewd
advertising whose plausible descrip-
tons invite purchases that are dis
covered too late to be worthless.
Scarcely day passes without some
body bringing in some article and
asking us to appraise it. Since the
public lare ignorant Of the value Of
such things and show their willing
ness to take our opinion, then equal
confidence can be placed in the home
jeweler in regard to anything he has
j.! to sell.
The home ieweler knows you per-
sonally and he values your trade and
will do much to retain it. He will
give you just as good merchandise at
just as low prices as anywhere. Only
igive him chance to show you. Be
sure that when wou are quoted. lower
prices elsewhere, you are not getting
all you expect, the hook Is cleverly
concealed under the bait.
MY money is wholly spent at home.
] fully realize that whatever helps
Clarksburg will finally help me.

medals for prize crops are so numer-
GUS with S. G. Trent, Of Hiawatha,
who has just been designated at the
Panama-Pacitic exposition as cham
pion corn grower for Kansas, that
he used the prize medals as paper

Trent has no formula OF secret
practice that enabled him to raise
the III bushels to the acre and win
the prize. The corn was grown on
his fathers farm, FIVE miles south
west Of town. In a field Of eighteen
acres Trent measured OF an acre,

School Children Would Be.
come Interested in Home
Campaign.

1t has been suggested. and the idea
is meeting with great deal Of en-
couragement that an exhibition Of
Made in Clarksburg" goods be held
in the early spring, following the
Telegram's rBuy in Clarksburg"
campaign. A number Of the merchants
and manufacturers have been inter-
viewed on the subject and without
exception all agree that it would be
a marked success IL conducted under
the auspices Of the board Of trade
business mems association or one of
the ladies' organizations.
The head Of one Of the largest man
ufacturing concerns in Clarksburg be-
lieves that to set aside week to be
known as "Clarksburg week" would
do more than anything else to ac-
quaint our dealers and consumers
thoroughly with the many articles
manufactured here. To do this salts
factorily it would be necessary to use
a large hall, SO that the heavier arti-
cles would be allotted sufficient room
to make a creditable exhibit. It is
the general belief Of all that such an
exhibit would be step toward bring
ing our retailers and manufacturers
closer together and intoxicating the
"buy Clarksburg products" spirit.
To Instruct School Children.
A great deal of interest. 1t is thought
will be aroused by the exhibit OF
household articles that are manufac-
sured here and it is the hope OF those
who are pushing the plans for the
exhibit that this exhibit will be 50
complete that it will be an emphatic
object to all those who attend the
show, 1t is proposed to have the school
children visit the exhibition and be
instructed in the use Of the various
articles shown here. This will have
the double purpose c. showing the
children what is made in Clarksburg
and when they go to the stores 70
buy things will encourage them to
call for the article that is made here,
1t has been suggested that the
Clarksburg manufacturers and .mer-
chants can encourage the use OF
Clarksburg made goods by having
them labeled made in Clarksburg.'

licity given to Clarksburg things that
will make Clarksburg a bigger and

There is no doubling the fact that
an exhibit of Clarksburg made goods
would be popular and profitable, and 1t
is the wish of many Clarksburgers
that it be held.
