From the number of candidates who
have filed in this county on the repub-
lican ticket the voters are going to
have some difficulty in making a selec-
ton at the primaries. Now an1 then n

but thccr is backwardness in ron ing
forward among democrats this year as
few care IT, ri,ke the sacrifice OF time
and money running for offices they
know they have little chance of secur-

this rush for office is that person has
several friends filing for the same Of

In mention made last week in these
columns of party of Seattle auto ex-
cursionists, it was stated that they
were on their way to Vancouver via
Penticton, but after making the run to
that place they ascertained that there
was no passabe road to the coast, so
they had to back track on their return
journey home. 1t was further stated
that A. o. Spencer, of this place, had
driven his car from Oroville to Van
couver last year. That statement was
in a measure incorrect. Mr.. Spencer
was in this office Wednesday and said
that formerly there was a wagon road
to the coast from Penticton but where
it passed through a narrow canyon the
Kettle River railroad had destroyed
that highway and it was necessary for
him to ship his car a distance of GO
miles from Litton to Hope. Our British
Columbia neighbors would do we'll to
replace that broken link in the high
way to the westward as considerable
auto travel from this side of the line
could be deflected over that route ev-

Good Word for Gum Chewing.

An important book has Just been
published by Doctor Carlson, q pro-
fessor Of physiology in the University
Of Chicago, which Is entitled "The
Control Of Hunger" This ought to be
a much-reac book In these times Of the
rising cost Of living. He has made
many experiments on humans, dogs,
guinea pigs, rabbits, ETC., and has
come to the conclusion:
"That hunger pangs diminish with
use Of chewing gum, chewing tobacco,
cigars, and cigarettes. The direct re-
suit Of gnawing Mt n piece Of gum Is
the stimulation Of nerves In the mouth.
The sensation causes n decrease In
stomach contractions, thus assuaging
the sharpest appetite"
Are we then to conclude, when W.
see the unctuOus damsel, on the trolley,
chewing gum with energy and violence,
that she Is seeking to abrldge her ap-
petite because OF the lack of food at
home? Well, whatever the motive, why
is not the doctrine q practical onef
We hope this book is not written in
the Interest Of the gum manufacturers.
A professor wouldn't do that.-Ohic

Rodln's Meditations.

Auguste RoGin, the French sculptor,
is noted as one who has wrought
greatly, created greatly, rejected glo-
riously. He delights in reading, but
he reads only cid cooks. Above all he
delights In books Of the seventeenth
ard eighteenth centuries in their orig
iral editions. tt his thinking most
modern books are not well enough
written, not well enough printed and
are not well enough bound. Only his
intimate friends-aGd his CoaChman-
know, It Is said, how at times he Is
absorbed in himself and Is Oblivious
of all surroundings. At such times, it
Is useless to speak to him. He answers
no one. He must be let alone in his
nedltations. When he returns from
Paris to the villa Of Meudon the coach
man opens the door of his carriage.
Robin is awake, but thinking, and his
reyerie must not be disturbed. So the
|coachman closes the GCcr, detaches the
horses, ana leaves the carriage with
the man of ge,.iuS in the middle of the
coach yard, ana there he will continue
to dream, Sometimes for hours.

OWN PART OF GREENLAND
Comparatively Few Know That the
United States Territory Extends
That Far to the North.

Very few had any idea that the
United States owns a chunk of Green
land rs big as one of our average
sized states until they read the pro-
vision in the proposed treaty between
u country and Denmark whereby we
are to pay $20,OOO,0OO for the Danish
West Indies and, in addition, relin-
Quish to Denmark all our claims to ter
ritory in Greenland.
If you will look at a recent map OF
Greenland you will see the name
"PearylanG" across the upper part OF
1t. This is the land discovered and
explored by Admiral Peary. He and
other American explorers were the
first to visit and map the coast line of
the greater part of northern Green
land and Peary discovered that it was
IN island.
1t has always been the recognized
right of a nation to claim sovereignty
over land discovered by It's subjects.
Spain got title to a big slice Of Amer
lea through Columbus. Under this
title-by-discovery claim the United
States could claim all of northern
Greenland except the Danish settle
ment of $4,000 square miles and 1900
population on the southern coast oppo-
site Iceland. But this Is only one
twenty'ffth Of the are Of Greenland.
Now Denmark wants 1t all.
The average American will be likely
to say, "For goodness sake, let Den
mark have 1t and good radiance; what
do we want of that icebergy
The chances are that we don't want
1t, and that 1t would never be any
good to us. Still, there is another pos
Sibility. When the United States
bought Alaska 1t was thought by the
majority Of people to be barren and
worthless, but last year 1t shipped us
in goods eight times the value Of the
purchase price, and now coal Is coming
to the Alaskan coast by rail to help
lower the Price in California. Spitz-

CHAPTER XII.
The Murder of Chevet

Who had killed him? What should
I do? These were the two questions
haunting my mind, and becoming more
and more insistent. The light still
burned in the mission house, and l
could picture the scene within - the
three priests reading, or talking softly
to each other, and Casslon asleep on
his bench in the corner, wearied with
the day.
l could not understand, could not
imagine a cause, and yet the assassin
must have been D'Artlgny. How else
could | account for his presence there
in the night, his efforts at conceal
ment, his bending over the dead body,
and then hurrying away without
sounding an alarm. The evidence
against the man seemed conclusive,
and yet l would not condemn. There
might be other reasons for his 81
lence, for his secret presence, and II
l rushed into the house, proclaiming
my discovery and confesslng what l
had seen, he would be left without
defense.
Shrinking, shuddering at every
shadow, at every sound, my nerves
throbbing with agony, I managed to
drag my body up the logs, and in
through the window. l was safe there,
but there was no banishlng from men,

a ladder to the ground. I had no OBJ
ject in such adventure, but a restless
impulse urged me, and, almost before
l realized my action, I was upon the
ground. Avoiding the CLEAN Of light
which streamed from the open win
dow Of the room below, l crossed the
garden and reached the path leading
downward to the shore. From this
point I could perceive the wide sweep
Of water, showing silvery in the dim
moonlight, and detect the darker rim
Of the land. There was fire on the

The servant will see to that, only

All were on their feet, their faces

lead the way without. Grasping the

one Of the priests felt Ia the pockets

them in his fingers. his face appearing

shaded his eyes and peered out across

Bad luck frequently comes In
punches. Adele has been buff

several years. In this fight

she needs direiy every aid she

"The print Is fresh, not ancient, and
none Of the men from my camp have
come this way"
He strobe forward across the mar
row open space and disappeared into
the fringe Of trees bordering the edge
of the bluff. It would have been easy
for me to depart, to escape to the Sc
curity of the tent below, but curiosity
held me motionless. I knew what he
would discover, and preferred to face
the consequences where 1 was free to
answer him face to face. 1 wished
him to be suspicious, to feel that he
had a rival; 1 would fan his Jealousy
to the very danger point. Nor had l
long to wait. Forth from the shade
OF the trees he burst and came toward
me, his face white, his eyes blazing.
otis the fellow I thought" he burst
forth, "and he went down the face Of
the bluff yonder. So you dared to have
tryst with him?
"With whom, monsieur?"
"D'Artigny, the young fool! Do you
think me blind? Did I not know you
were together in Quebec? What are
you laughing att"
81 was not laughing, monsieur. Your
ridiculous charge does not amuse me.
I am a woman; you insult me; I am
your wife: you charge me with indis-
erection. If you think to win me with
such cowardly insinuations you know
little Of my nature. 1 will not talk
with you, nor discuss the matter. l
return to the camp"
His hands clinched as though he
had the throat of an enemy between
them, but angry as he was, some
vague doubt restrained him.
"Mon dieu! I'll fight the dog"
"D'Artigny, you mean? IT'S his
trade, l hear. and he is good at It,"
"Bah! a bungler of the woods. I
doubt If he ever crossed blades with
a swordsman. But mark you this,
madame. the lad feels my steel If ever
you so much as speak to him again."
There was contempt in my eyes, MOI
did I strive to disguise 1t.
"Am l your wife, monsieur, or your
slave%
"My wife, and I know how to hold
you! Mon dieu! but you shall learn
that lesson. l was a fool to eve give
the brat place in the boats. La Barre
warned me that he would make trou-
BILE. Now l tell you what will occur
If you play false with me-"
"You may spare your threats-they
weigh nothing. The Sieur d'Artigny
is my friend, and l shall address him
when 1t pleases me. With whatever
quarrel may arise between you I have
no interest. Let that suffice, and now
I bid you good night, monsieur"
He made no effort to halt me, nor
to follow, and l made my way down
the darkening path, without 80 much
40 turning my head to observe his
movements. 1t was almost like a play
% me, and I was reckless of the con-
sequences, intent only on my purpose.
In the early dawn we broke camp
as usual, except that chosen boatmen
guided the emptied canoes through the
reeds, while the others OF the party
made portage along the rough shore.
