NATIVE friends of mine told me about
it, but they didn't know it was gold.
They were returning from a hunting
trip of 700 Or 500 miles with some
specimens for me, but their dogs died
and they had to throw what 1
believe to be gold away. They told
me Of a ledge where the metal
dropped off in pieces, and from what
they said L should judge the veins
must have been very rich. One of
them had a harpoon, the point of
| which was made of the yellow metal.
They told me also of an Eskimo who
used in his gun bullets that he had
hammered out of gold"
AS for the petroleum, Mr. Leden
said, the EskimOs objected seriously to
the smell of the oil, although they
were accustomed to strong odors. Es-
kimos, he explained, never take
bath. He declined to give any idea of
the location of the gold deposits other
than to say: cit would have taken me
two years more to have gone where
the gold is

Eskimos for three years, principally
to study the native music, which has
neither major nor minor The great
est master of music, he said, is the
man who uses the fewest number Of
notes. The only instrument Esk1mos
have is the drum.
A coast boat on which Mr.. Leden
started on his trip was wrecked in Oc-
tober, 1913, and he lost all his sup
plies. He was the only white man in
the party. He returns with an ethnoI-
ogical collection for the Museum Of

BY E. A. Peters

How does a minister like the
idea of having his church services
written up" by one of those un-
sentimental reporter fellows who
simply write what they see and
hear-when they are allowed to?
That was my first wonder when
| read the review by my fellow
worker, Edgar c. Wheeler, of
church services at the First Bap-
fist Sunday morning.
So l called upon Rev. James S.
West, with the offer that l would
write for him any statement or re-
ply that he should offer on
Wheeler's review" Just so his
side Of the story should receive
equal emphasis.
Rev. West was not angry be-
cause the reporter had not paint
ed a rosy picture of the Sunday
services.
He was sorry that the article
had been printed, he said, and he
was sure that Mr.. Wheeler would
not have done such a thing, had
he realized the circumstances.
Was Special Meeting.
You see, the church has been
conducting special services, and
Wheeler walked into the crucial
meeting without knowing it. 1t
was unfortunate for the church
and unfair on the part of the re-
porter that Wheeler should have
selected that particular morning
for attending the service. So, the
pastor assured me.
"The reported could not have
selected a more inauspicious oc-
casion for coming to my church
for the purpose of writing such an
mot once in 10 years do | de-
liver such sermon as l did on
morning. But the sermon
was appropriate under the circum-
stances.
1T happens that we have been
a series of evangelistic
services at the church. The
church workers have been under
a high tension. Sundays service
was the closing one of the series,
and tension among everyone was
at its highest pitch. My sermon
was delivered as the climax of
most interesting and interest-com-
polling campaign.
Usually I'm Lighter Vein.
AS l say, person could at
tend my church for 10 years and
never hear me deliver such a SER
mon. II there has ever been any
criticism of my sermons, here or
anywhere else, it has been that
they have inclined toward the

YOU
PETITION.
TO FILL?

Just give the voters a chance
to sign the initiative measure for
non-partisan election of state and
county offices, and Tacoma will
easily supply at least $4,000 sig
natures.
From the number of signatures
already obtained, and the eager
ness of the voters to sign when
the petitions placed before them
and pens are placed in their
hands, 1t is as clear as day that
public sentiment is overwhelm-
ing in favor of the measure.
The only thing is to get the pc
titions to the voters. The aver
age citizen is lazy when it comes
to hunting up a petition to sign.
Energetic workers are needed
right now, to spend couple of
hours a day sticking pens in peo-
pies hands. It's as easy as roll
ing off long to get the names.
Come forward now, and get a
petition blank and fill 1t.
You folks who haven't signed
and want to will find list of the
places where the petitions can be
found, printed on another page of

PUT LID ON
THE MEASLES

With Tacoma's epidemic OF
measles increasing week by week,
Health Officer Montague announc-
ed that he would be forced to take
more drastic measures with the
disease.
Heretofore the health depart
ment has permitted children. to
attend school. although other
members of their family might be
i'll with measles.
Beginning Tuesday, according
to the new edict. no child will be
permitted to attend school who
lives in house where any other
person has the disease. This will
not affect any child who has al
ready had the disease.
There are more than 400 cases
of measles in Tacoma at present.

MAY ADD
TO JONES
BUILDING

Plans are being considered
Tuesday for the construction of
one or possibly two stories addi-
tional to those already planned
for the new 100000 Jones
building which is to house the
Pantages theater at 9th and
Broadway.
While the architect and build
ers are considering the feasibility
of the addition, construction work
has been halted temporarily.
The change will mean putting
in heavier pillars and beams and
altering the detailed plans
throughout the building.
The addition, If carried out,
will mean that the number of Of
flee rooms will be nearly doubled.
The additional cost has not been
definitely figured.
The plans at present provide
for six stories facing Broadway.
The two additional stories would
be on the Broadway side and
would extend only part of the
length of the building.

son who did this was enthusiastic

which he should not have done
had he thought carefully. 1t is
unfair to criticise the pastor or
the church because of the act of
one jealous worker.

audience was gripped by the series

did not, for that reason have its
customary atmosphere"
