Think George
Hull Insane
NOW BEING HELD AT COUNTY JAIL
Tells Story Of Wholesale RObberies. Thinks lie
Is Being Suspected Of Olson Murder

When the branch line passen-
ger train came in Monday even
ing, a lumberjack who gave his
name as George Hull got off the
train and going up to Chief of
Police Steele, asking if he was
was an officer. He then start
ed to tell Steele long rambling
story about a gang which was
systematically stealing from the
depot at Santa and from the
camps of Thornton, Cox, Black
we'll and Branson.
He said that they were steal
ing meat, shoes, socks and to-
bacco and had a large quantity
cached, probably about $4,000
worth. He said that there was
blood on his bedding and that the
people near Fernwood were try
ing to connect him with the Olson
murder. He said that he had
nothing to do with the murder but
did get some of the stolen articles
He was taken to the sheriff s
Office where his pack was opened
and examined. An extra pair of
shoes was found and four extra
pair of socks. These Hull said
were part of the stolen goods.
One Of the quilts in the pack had
q big blood stain on it and Mrs.
Olson was sent for in an attempt
to, identify it as part of the bed
ding taken from Olson's bed.
She declared, however, that il
was not.
1t was decided to hold Hull
until his story in regard to the
robberies could be investigated
When they attempted to put him
in a cell he became violent and
it took four men 20 lock him up,
The opinion of the officers is thai
the man is crazy. He will be
held until his stories can be in
vestigated and the question of his
sanity inquired into.

for a person to climb over.
A wire is strung along on the
top of this fence from which
electric lights are suspended
every few feet and in addition
arc lights are placed short dis
tances apart so that the entire
surroundings are as light as day
at all times. Although it would
seem impossible for anyone to
get inside of the fence, a guard
Of six or seven men with rifles
patrol the place constantly.
Mr.. Schultz states that the
main topics of conversation are
the European war, conditions in
Mexico and the prospects for
business during the coming year
and the general expression is
that if this country can be kept
out Of war the coming year will
be the most prosperous we have
ever experienced. He states
that although he hear a few hot
heads advocating Intervention
III Mexico, the large majority, re-
gardless of politics, commended
President Wilson for the manner
in which he had handled the diff
ncult foreign problems and had
kept the country from being
drawn into the war and expressed
the Judgment that the country is
fortunate to have a man like
him at its head during these try
ling times.

Business Is Improving
Says Judge Schultz

Municipal Judge Charles R.
Schultz has returned from a
months visit at his former home
in Illinois. He also visited Chi
cago and St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, spending a few days in the
latter city.
He says that business is BOOM
ing in the east and that every
one he met was very optimistic
of the prospects for the coming
year. Retail lumber dealers are
expecting a big trade in their line
and are stocking up to meet it.
They are complaining, however,
over the recent advance in the
wholesale price of lumber and
the exorbitant prices, as they
term them, which they are
obliged to pay for western pine.
He says the big demand and
the high prices paid for muni-
tions of war by the European
countries has made a great many
OF the manufacturers engaged in
other lines turn their plants in

Owing to the numerous accidents
from different causes, that have

Are Building
New Dry KiInS

The st. Maries Lumber COM
pany has begun the construc-
ton of a large dry kiln at their
plant to dry the lumber so that
it can be shipped with less de-
lay than if it was necessary to
leave it in piles until it is sea-
soned.. The kiln which is be-
ing installed is the Grand Rapids
Dry Kiln, manufactured in the
Grand Rapids Dry Kiln Company
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and
is being erected by the Carl Lob
man Construction company Of
Seattle.
The dry kiln will be what is
known as the three unit kiln and
each unit will be 4Ox6O, making
the$entire building cover a space
.12Ox60. 1t will be built on a
concrete foundation, the forms
for which were started Saturday.
IT, will take $50 yards of sand to
build the foundation and M. C.
Cleary has the contract to fur
nish it. He started three teams
at work Saturday hauling it.
1t is expected that it will take
little more than month to
complete the buildings and in
stall the kilns and the cOnstruc-
tion company has contracted to
have the plant completed anC
ready for operation between the

nc meeting OF the Parent
Teacher Association held Friday
evening was by far the most sue
ccssful one that has been held
yet. Not only was a much larger
crowd present than at any pre-
vious meeting, but all those pres
est manifested a great deal of
interest in the meeting and the
subjects.
Both the Domestic Science and
the Manual Training departments
are innovations so far as the
school here is concerned and
great many people were doubt
lul as to their value as part of
the high school course but if any
such were at that meeting they
had their doubts effectually re-
moved. The principal address,
es of the evening were made by
Prof. Swenson, head of the Man
ual Training department and
Miss Reid, who hasc barge OF the
classes i'm Domestic Science
Both of these went into detail
giving the number of pupils tax
ing the courses and explaining
the work which the pupils are
doing.
Miss Reid is one of the hard
est worked teachers in the high
school. There are about nine
/ ty girls taking instruction in
domestic science, who are being
Taught to cook and sew and the
work they are doing and the in
struction which they are receiv-
ing will probably be of more
benefit to them in their after life
than anything else which they
are learning i'm school.
These pupils are divided into
grades and classes according to
their proficiency, the same as in
any other department in the
school and they are held as rig
idly TO the requirements as in the
other departments and are given
credits for the work which they
do. That the teaching is prac-
ical was demonstrated to the
satisfaction of all by the samples
Of the work of classes i'm sewing
which were shown and was also
demoncrated by the lunch served
at the close of the meeting.
A report was made relative to
the hot lunches which the do
nestle science classes are serv-
ing to those pupils residing at a
distance from school and who
have to bring their lunches.
over ninety pupils are availing
themselves of the privilege and
the improvement in the school
work of these pupils is very
marked. One case was report
ed where a pupil only secured a
mark of 40 before the hot lunches
were introduced and at the first
test afterward received a marx
of 90.

"They are moving in no single direc- tion they have no single body of prin- ciples, they have no signal purpose in mind. It has been impossible to conduct the campaign as if 1t were q regular battle, because so soon as we sought some section of the enemy 1t was found that they had dispersed.
 They possess no stamp of definite policy. They suggest no line of defi- mite action. On the one hand the vo- cal element says that we have accom- : plshed the purpose that they did have in mind that they desire peace. but they do not like the way in which peace was accomplished. They prefer a peace that is produced by the methods of those who defy, of those who brag of those who threaten. Tn order tC establish their prowess they have for gotten their manners.
