LEGION OF HONOR FOR NEGRO

An Associated Press dispatch
from Paris says: The first and only
trooper of the Tufkos, or French
black troops from Senegal and
Algeria, to receive the Legion of
Honor from the French govern
ment, is a thick-set, coal-black
middle aged infantrynian who went
through one of the queer expert
ences of the war. While operations
were active at the front a short
time ago, it was determined to fall
back FROM given point, and this
Turko was given a small steel safe
containing $4,000 francs to carry
to the new position.
He was given a donkey, and
started off with the safe. Suddenly
all the plans of removal were inter-
rupted by German raid. which
swept the Turkos and other troops
into TIE utmost confusion. Many
were killed, and the whole force
was badly scattered. 1t was taken
for granted that the Turko with
the safe was lost, as even those not
burdened with heavy loads were
swept away in the raid.
Some days later the French out
posts were astonished to have the
Turko with the safe on his back
trudge into camp. His donkey was
killed, and for three days be was
inside the German lines. carrying
the safe on his back. He never
let 60 of the safe. When the lines
were swept into confusion by the
machine-gun FIRE. he first lost his
donkey. and then crept under some
bushes with his safe, and the Ger
mans rushed past his hiding place.
He kept concealed during the day
and at night picked his way for
ward to new hiding place. This
was kept up until at last he got to
the French camp and laid down the
safe before the astonished French
colonel.
They gave him the Legion of
Honor and the whole regiment was
drawn up as he received it from
the government representative, who
gave the kiss of honor OH his coal
black face.

THREE NEGROES IN SPECIAL PULLMAN

ATLANTA, Ga.-BeCause a white
man coming from Louisville, KY,
objected to the presence of three
young colored people in Pullman
the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road put on special sleeper tor the
accommodation Of three young col
ored students Ell route to Atlanta
university. Their railroad tickets
were bought and Pullman accommo-
dations secured, but when they
entered the Pullman car at the
station in Louisville, a Georgia
cracker on his way back home
objected to riding in the same car
with them. After thirty minutes
delay another sleeper was put on
and the students invited into it.
As interstate passengers they were
entitled to the service, but the
preludiced attitude of the Georgia
cracker made it cost the railroad
over SIoo.

,,aek and a great many cars are
owned Immediately in town and the
surrounding country. This Is the
rooeon why the big local garage is
almost alweys full Of cars, either in
storage, or for repairs. The new pro-
nrietor is well known in Oroville, and
the public will find him pleasant
,ontlaman to do business with, al
WAYS prompt and accommodating.
Hinder the old management the Wash
inqton Motor Car garage was the bus
lest place in town, and there is no
reason why there should be any cur
tailment of that activity under new
ownership.
Mr.. Peterson is now a gentleman
of leisure. He opened the garage sew
eral years ago, when the automobile
was few and far between in this up
nor country. and at tirst he found it
hard shedding to keep the business
going AS time NOV ed on the car be-
came more COlLlihoAi PooSS"oioh
among the inhabitants of this locality,
and one of the luxuries Of owning a
car is meeting The regular cost of re-
pairs. or the insertion OF extras
amidst its internal rra-gement. Mr.
Peterson knew how 20 put crippled
machine in running order, and carried
ithe extras in demand. Hence his bus
mess grew until at times he had to
have several helpers. Then Mr.. Pet
erson had the misfortune to fall ill
| and all the doctors in the country
could not fix him np. He could not
attend TO his work, therefore he was
forced to sell out. Poor health alone
was the reason for the transfer Mr.
Peterson has no business proposition
in view at the present time. He will
devote a considerable period to rest
and condolences, in hopes that he
may regain his normal health. How
ever. as he has always been a worker
| it is safe to say that he will not waste
great deal of time doing nothing.

SCHOOL AND GRANTED LANDS

One of the most complete and COM
prehensive pamphlets issued in years
by any department of the state gov
eminent of Washington, has just been
compiled and printed under hte direct
supervision of Captain l. M. Howell,
secretary of state, and is now ready
for gratuitous distribution.
1t is brief resume of the status
of the school and Granted Lands of
the State of Washington" showing
that the area belonging to this class
of lands in the state, aggregating
about $500 square miles, almost
equal in extent to the state of Con-
necticut; is a little less than twice
the dimension of Delaware and almost
four times the total acreage of Rhode
Island. If this land lay in contin-
| uous strip it would make a belt one
and one half miles wide reaching
across the United States from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific ocean,
The pamphlet contains a short his
tory of it's acquisition by the state /;
a table showing it's distribution
throughout the various counties of
Washington and the modus operandi
by which it may be acquired by the
citizens and pass iuto the hands of
private ownership.
This little book will prove of great
benefit, not only as a statistical doc
ument in readable form easily under
stood by a layman, but will be a po-
tent factor in opening the way for a
general upbuilding of the state and
bringing increased acreage into pro-
ductive use.
A post card addressed to Ichabod M.
Howell. secretary of state, division of
statistics and immigration, Olympia.
Washington, or to Harry Giles the
official word painter of the beautiful
booster books issued by that DEPART
ment, will bring this book to those
who wish it by the return mail.

Is entirely exhausted. Write at once.

VIEWS OF THE DITCH

Geo. j. Parker, the old time pho
tographer who has not engaged in
studio work for long time, has not
lost the mack of handling the camera.
Recently Mr.. Parker has been taking
panoramic views of the big ditch and
flume work along the line of the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation sytem
west of town. The pictures are not
only excellent views of that excep-
| tionly fine piece OF canal construc-
ton, but they convey an idea of the
remarkably heavy and complicated
work the contractors have had to per-
form in constructing the big canal
from the intake to the western bor-
der OF the town of Oroville. Much of
the canal is over very rough ground
and IN places the centipede-hke f!ume
is hanging up in the air. Along Rich
Bar bend and tracing the hillside near
Inc rails OF the Similkamaen, where
tuning is the only means Of provid-
ing channel for conveying the
water. rock benches had to be blasted

Every once in a while a country
publisher will receive one of those

offices that notifies him that a sub
scriber has removed to- removed
left no address," mot found, re
fused" or unclaimed" Not infre-
quently the mark placed by the post
master is in front of the word re
fused" and when the publisher looks
up the name of the subscriber on his
mailing list the chances are 10 to l
that that subscriber is in arrears. 1t
is most contemplate way of re-
pudiating a debt, and the man who
resorts to this means to beat the
printer is guilty of petit larceny. Oi
course under tie law the publisher
could collect the debt through legal
process, but few publishers care tc
go to that trouble, preferring to stand
the loss. If newspaper men would
combine and publish the names OF
subscribers who follow this practice
it might have salutary effect in
eliminating the evil. Few publishers
have any desire to force their paper
upon any individual, and a notifica-
ton to discontinue paper will, as
rule, be promptly complied with
The publisher makes no protest
against the cancellation of a sub
scription, all he asks is fair treat
ment and payment for the goods he
has delivered.
