BLEWETT PASS HIGHWAY.

The Colville registration at Wenatchee
has brought thousands OF cars there dur
ing the past few weeks The majority of
them are Sound cars coming over Bewett
Pass. 1t is interesting to read the COM
nlents in the outside papers relative to
this pass, many of the travellers express
ing themselves that the pass is absolutely
safe, should occasion no tronble for any
autoist and all agree that the trip is one
of wonderful scenic beauty Others in
sist that the drive is one of absolute dam
ger.
As high as IT'S to 200 cars a day have
passed over Blewett Pass since it was
opened to travel this spring. As evidence
of the fact that the road is safe if ordina-
nary care is taken, none but minor ACCT
dents have occurred on this stretch of
road. In fact, several accidents have oc-
Cured on other sections of Chelan coun-
try roads during the past few weeks which
are considered far less dangerous than
the Blewett Pass. However, there is a
deal Of satisfaction to know that the
commissioners for that district are rnsh-
ing work just as fast as possible on the
new grade to the summit and when this
is completed, there will be no criticism of
B'ewett. 1t is bound to be the great
summer highway for autoists during the
auto season and will bring holsands of
people to this section from the Sound
during the year.

Travelling Mans Experience

''In the summer Of 1888 I had very
severe attack of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from four a.
m. to 6 p. n. without giving me any re-
lief and then told me they did not ex-
pect me to live; that l had best telegraph
for my family. Instead of doing SO 1
gave the hotel porter so cents and told
him to buy me bottle of Chamberlain s
Co'ic, Cholera and Diarrohea Remedy

dose according to the directions and
went to sleep after the second dose. At
five O'Clock the next morning l was
called by my order and took train for
my next stopping point, a we'll man but

MILITARY TRAINING SHOULD NOT
BE A TAX.

So long as the government continues
to make military training a luxury, it
will be putting obstacles in the way of
making it universal. So long as the pa
tri' tic citizen is required to donate to it
both his time and his moaey, only a
small part OF the people will ever be able
to participate.
The United States has taken two pre-
liminary steps toward preparing its citi-
zens tor the defense of their country.
One is the pfomu|gdtio of the national
guard plans: the other is the establish
mtnt OF ciyi ian camps
To become a part of either, the citizen
is required to sacrifice not only his leisure
hours but his private means as well.
The pay of the National Guard sman,
even in the Federal service, is not suffi-
Gent to feed his family while he is in the
field. His wife and children are forced
to look for sustenance to the generously
and kindness Of their neighbors and the
public-in other words, become paupers.
The disgrace is more poignant Wien we
reflect that millions OF dollars are suuan-
dered every year by the government in
pork barrel appropriations.
Congress puts the training camps and
the naval cruises upon the Same ba is.

was going for a walk" to dress my
self and leave the house without any
questions from her. Then before me
lay three or four hours of absolute
freedom. Just as long as l returned to
my home in time for dinner l could be
sure I would not be scolded.
And so each day 1 made my way to
the restaurant where were held the dam
SAINTS to which Fred Ellersley had first
taken me. 1 was now a full-fledged
habitue of the place. 1 did not have
to pay even for the tea or cakes or
sandwiches l ordered. The doorman
nodded to me as l passed him. And
thanks to Fred Ellersley, again, | was
forming a little nucleus of men &C
quaintances. Each day Fred would in
troduce me to one or two more and l
would gladly accept their invitations to
dance; thus justifying the manager s
permission to go and come in the place
as l wished.
For three or four hours each day l
led the life of the pitiful little moths
who, mad for pleasure, try to flutter
about the flame without smuggling their
wings. There was no one to tell me
that sooner or later the time must come
when some unexpectedly strong draft
would catch me and blow me into the
fire Already, too, l was acquiring the
light and silly manner of talk and of
gesture that was part of the place. l
had my small romantic successes in my
amateurish way.
1t was during the first week of my
visits to this restaurant that L admired
the cigarette case which belonged to
a weak and rich young man who had
been dancing with me. AS matter
of fact, there had been no purpose
in my. admiration. The thing was sim
ply lying there on the table at my ell
bow and, for want of something better
to say, I exclaimed with false enthus-
iasm:
"oh, what a pretty cigarette case!
How perfectly beautiful! l don't think
/ ever saw such a pretty one?
The youth pushed it toward me at
once. In spite of his limitations he
was bent upon being man OF the world.
Take It," he said. do you smoker"
For a minute L did not know what he
meant.
Thank, you. no." I answered. Il
won't have one"
He laughed at me.
f'But take the thing" he reiterated
81 don't want il. Have a chain put
on it and carry it for a purse. It's a
good one. I'd like you to have 1T aw-
fully. l had rather you had 1t than
anybody else"
This last, if 1 had been older, would
have seemed a little silly to me, FOR
the boy had met me the afternoon before
and had but just told me that on the
following day he left the city for the
summer.
do you mean it?" 1 asked. I'D love
to have It,"
"Of course" he said, and I slipped
the case into my coat pocket.
And once more, as though it were
an echo came back to me the words
had said to myself nearly two years be-
fore when Mr.. Atkins had given me my
furs:

uously essy!"

still kept my face turned from him,
for now 1 was genuinely embarrassed.
1t seemed so much like actually asking
for what 1 wanted. to tell this man the
little tale to which Fred had prompted
me. So almost Historically 1 began.
Perhaps my manner passed for reluc-
lance. I don't know. Then finally I
heard my own voice going on. I be-
came holder. The words tumbled over
each other. And unconsciously i was dra-
matizing the situation. / was making
picture of it, putting into 1t pitiful
details that were pure fiction. I told
Mr.. Kennedy how l needed to work if
ever 1 was to earn my own living. I
went a step further and suggested that
my mother was dependent upon my eff
forts. How 1 had looked endlessly
for something to do. This. although I
had been but to one place. and how i'm
possible it was to find employment I'M

to make a suitable appearance.

me at once. after this my plain request
for his assistance? Or would he choose
TO ignore it? What would he do?
There was a painful pause.
How much will the dress you want

lips that were dry.

it for you, will you be-nice to me?" he
asked.

Civilian Prisoners Over
45 Years Old VIII be
Exchanged by Nations
(By Associated Press.l


LONDON, Dec. .9-After protracted
negotiations through the medium of the
United States, arrangements have been
made for the exchange of German and
British civilian prisoners who are more
than forty-five years old. About 1000
Germans are interned in the United
Kingdom and 700 British civilians are
informed in Germany. Whether the
prisoners will reach their respective
homes depends upon the success of the
admiralty in finding a neutral steamer
on whcih to make the exchange.
Preparations are being made to break
up the camps for Germans on the Isle
of Man and those established for Brit
ish civilian prisoners in Germany. Only
1900 of the Germans informed in the
United Kingdom expressed a desire 20
return to Germany. If the opportunity
offered, many would prefer to go to
America, it is said.
