LeavenWOrth Man Tries Out
New Treatment for Colds

Vick's Vap-O-Rub really is a remark
able preparation. 1t takes the place
OF internal dosing. vapor lamps, poul-
tees, plasters, blisters and flannel
jackets. 1t comes in salve form, and
for Group or cold troubles, you just ap-
ply it over the throat and chest and
cover with a warm flannel cloth. Leave
the covering loose around the neck, as
the body heat releases the ingredients
in the form of vapors. These vapors are
inhaled with each breath all night long,
looseniag the phlegm and clearing the
air passages. In addition, Vap-O-Rub
is absorbed through and stimulates the
skin like poultice or a plaster, aid
ing the vapors inhaled to break up the
congestion. Three sizes, Csc, SOC or
$1.OO. A trial package free on request.

Loeb didn't indicate that he was go
ing to investigate the truth of the
figures laid bare by Sereombe and
decide on the fate of the investiga-
ton. He just said that some of the
stuff from Sercombe's Office had leak
ed out in the papers and that Ser
combe would be dropped from the
board payrolls.
Figures from Sercombe's office,
quoting the chief engineer of the
school system, showed among other
things that the schools were getting
100000 worth more of coal every
year than they were burning. An in
Vestigation of the charges had just
been started. Today is the last of
Sercombe's contract with the school
board.
The investigation, of course, may
be dropped if Sercombe is fired.
Max Loeb, friend of organized la
Dor on the school board, and member

system, said yesterday that Sercombe
had shown up apparent defects in the
handling of school money, and that
the bookkeeping Of the board was off.
There is no doubt that Sercombe's
figures have shown that there is
something wrong with school board
methods" he said. 1--WE have not
been able to investigate the facts as
yet. l am sure, however, that tables
from Sercombe's Office do indicate
that there is something that might be
remedied.
81 am for an investigation; let the
reporters, the press and the public
hear what is going on. If we find that
the board methods, are wrong, let's
admit it and change them But I'm in
favor of concealing nothing"

Evacuation of VauX Is Interpreted by the

SUPERIORITY IS FELT
TeutOniC Soldiers Are To Be Sent Against the RumanianS at New
 War Front.

PARIS, Nov. s. - Important con clusions are drawn here from the evacuation of Fort VauX, northeast of verdun by the Germans, the chief of these is the expressed belief that the Germans, considering the western front as now of compara- lively secondary importance, intend to reduce their operations on the Verdun front to a minimum and will direct their main energy with view to successful campaign against the Rumanians.
 The newly established ministry Of munitions in Germany is regarded by military observers es the result of the Germans having felt the su periority of the Entente Allies in ar tilery and munitions along the Somme front.
 LONDON. Nov. S.-German news papers declare that they are moi surprised by the evacuation of Fort Vaux at Vcrdun, says Reuter- dis patch from Amsterdam, as the in tenHon to abandon it already has been communicated in advance tC some of the representatives of tho press. They emphasize that tho German retreat was voluntary anC the fort was no longer regarded a' important.

TONS TUNGSTEN ORE
 TAKEN SOUTH
Jafet Lindeberg Finds Rich Ore Deposits Near Nome and Product
 Now in Seattle

SEATTLE. Uct. z3.-Fntecn tons of tungsten ore concentrates worth approximately S1 a pound were min ed by Jafet Lirdeberg. president of the Pioneer Mining Company at Nome this suEmer. This is an en- tirely new development, and in the opinion of Lindeberg. will become large one. Lindeberg arrived from the North yesterday and is regis tered at The New Washington Ho- tel. says the Seattle Times.
 The tungsten ere is of the variety known as scheelite, and is used in the manufacture Of rifle barrels, big guns and other implements in which an exceedingly tough grado of steel is needed. Scheelite was discovered by Dr. August Scheel a German scientist associated with the great Krupp steel plant at Essen, Ger many. It has a value of So pound # it produces 60 per cent of lungs tic acid.
 Found on Rock Creek
 The scheelite was discovered by Lindeberg this sumner in theschist formation on Rock Creek, and is be- ing mined by hydraulic methods.
 We did not get started till late in the summer" he said "lt took considerable time to install the hy- drauhc plant. Next year we will work on a much larger scale. This ] is the only formation of the kind found in the Nome region
 There was a splendid rainfall at Nome this summer, and the result was a much better yield of gold than last year. The seasons output will be in excess of ,3.OOO,O0O
 Vine Creek Gold
 Considerable gold has been Ca ken out from Vince creek, a newly discovered district, at the head oi Norton Bay" said Lindeberg. "lt looks as if this is going to deyeloT into a fairly good field. Associated with a gold is a small amount o platinum.

RARE FIDILES
 ARE MADE HERE
 IN N0RTHLAND
Alaskan Takes Spruce Hundreds of Years Old, Making Good
 instruments.

SEATTLE, Oct. 1S.-"Rare old yio- lins made while you wait"
 That is the occupation-rather the hobby-of J. W. Stevenson of Sew ard. Although Mir. Stevenson does not claim an expert knowledge of the magician's art he believes he can carry out the foregoing an nouncement without difficulty. He does it in this way says the Seattle Times:
 Every year Stevenson goes to Alas ka to work his mining interests Be- ing an expert woodworker and lapi' diary. he spends his spare time mak- ing things, useful and useless. Sey- eral years ago while travelling on the Aleutian Islands he found some old cabins. built by the natives sey- eral hundred years ago, but still standing in almost perfect condition
 old Yet New
 The cabins are made of Alaska native spruce, which, after such az ing. is thoroughly seasoned. Steven son picked out a deserted cabin and cut one of the most perfect logs from it. From this wood he made a violin which carried tone as sweet as the oldest Stradiyadius.
 You see," said Stevenson at The Palace today, most violins are man ufacured and then permitted to Iage. Mine are aged and then man ufactured.

 While in the North last summer stevenson made a violin of this wood which Is just nine inches long The instrument is perfect ia con struction, however.
