HUNTS 19 YEARS FOR UNCLES
Writer, Thought to Be in
California.

Chico, Cal.-Continuing a search
ed over a period of 10 years, Mrs. Mel
lie E. Miller, whose father was the
first cousin of Edgar Allan Poe. ar
rived in Chico recently.
Her uncles, Edgar Allan Poe and
Clifford Poe, we're last heard from in
1896, when she was at her home in
Hutchinson, Kan, at which time they
were in San Francisco, having come
there from their home in Hutchinson.
Mrs Miller came to California in
1896, and since then has conducted
a search for her uncles, which has
taken her to various parts of Cali
fornia. She first went to Redding,
where she entered the employ of
Judge F. P. Primm as stenographer.
From Redding she went to Yakima,
Wash, where she remained for nine
years. For five years she was en-
ployed as court reporter there. Leav-
ing Yakima she went to Eureka,
thence to San Francisco, and thence
to Reno, New, where she entered the
employ of Senator Huskey.
Mrs Miller has had no trace of
her uncles since the San Francisco
fire and earthquake in 1906, and fears
they persisted in the disaster.
She believes her uncles, if alive,
would be anxious to hear from her,
and is unable to account for her in
ability to locate them in this event.

Prison Since.

Kansas City.-A man whose face
was white and drawn has just ended a
longdelayed journey He entered a
train at the Union station here and
after while gave his ticket to the
conductor, who regarded it curiously.
The ticket called for trip to Gala
tin, Mo-, was issued by the Wabash
& Pacific railway in 1886 and was
good still.

sadly. Twenty-Five years ago he was
travelling from Leavenworth to Gala

Wars CHANCES in Paris.

Before the war, no tobacco was too
fine for the Parisienne. Egyptian,
Turkish or Russian, was eagerly
sought. Cigarettes with real gold tips
were not enough. A rose petal was
considered a more dainty mouthpiece.
Now the cheapest tobacco is the fash
ion and in their sympathy with the
men at the front women have taken
to smoking "caporal," as their heroes

have circle of pearls set in it, but
the cigarette must be the same as

WARNS ASSESSORS
To AVOID POLITICS
Governor to Ask for Removal of
Those Thus Engaged.
URGES CARE IN VALUATIONS
Commends Work Thus Far Accom-
pIished and Expresses the Hope
That Even Better Results
May Be Achieved.

Madison.-That property in Wiscon-
sin should be assessed at actual value,
no more, no less, and that employees
of the state should refrain from polit-
tcal activity while acting for the state
were the points urged by Governor
Philip in an address to the assessors
of incomes gathered in annual confer
ence in the assembly parlor6.
IF learn of any employee of the
state, over whom | have any control,
becoming politically active in my be-
half, l shall ask for his dismissal; II
l learn that any state employees IS ac-
tive in behalf of any other persons l
shall also ask for his removal was
the way the executive made himself
understood.
Political activity by men in public
service Governor Philip declared is
wrong, in fact, disgraceful. AT the
same time, he said, he would not de-
prive any man of the right to vote
and think as he pleases.
Governor Philip urged the assess
ors to be considerate of the people
with whom they have to deal and TO
explain to them truthfully the materi-
al facts relating to assessments and
taxation. But do not cater to the
good will of any tax payer, whoever
he may be"
1T is just as much of a violation
of the law of assessment to over-vaiue
as to under-value," said the executive,
who explained that he had heard COM
plants, particularly from the northern
sections of the state. Men have
come to me-" he said, ''and offered to
sell me lands at 25 per cent of their
assessed value" The state ought not,
he said, to assess property at more
than it's value. ct should be as
sessed at just what it is worth; no
more, no less"
Governor Philip urged that mas
much as it is the policy Of the state
and the nation to conserve the re-
sources of the state, care should be
taken in assessing growing timber so
that the burden of taxation might not
compel the owners to sell or cut the
timber, prematurely.
Your work has been good" said
the executive to the assessors in con-
clusion. Assessments of property in
the state have been made more uni
form and equal than they were, and
your task is to make them still more
equal"

inspection LAMPS for Shells.

A British electrical manufacturer
has designed an electric lamp for IA
cilitating the inspection of the inte-
rior walls of shells in munition works
The equipment may be described as a
tubular lamp protected by a wire
guard, long metal rod, wooden
handle in which is pushbutton
switch, and connecting cord and
plug. The equipment is held by the
handle while the lamp, supported on
the long brass tube, is lowered into
the shell to be inspected.

SCOTS GET HAGG|S
Men in Trenches to Live on Food
of Warriors.
British War Office Gives Official hec-
oqnition to the National Dish OF
Scots--Famed in Song
and Story.

London.-S all over the
world should thrill with dellgnt at
the news that the war office at last
has given its official recognition 10
their national dish, the haggis. with
the laudable object of making the
trenches as homelike as possible to
the Scottish troops, Mrs. Porter Brown
of No. 16 Holland road, Kensington, IS
raising a fund to provide for them
real Scotch haggis in bulk. IL TINS
does not bring to them the scent OF
the heather and the music of the burn
nothing will.
The haggis is one of the few ma
tional dishes which has retained its
splendid isolation. Except maybe on
Burns nights or at private gatherings
of exiles from north of the Tweed 1t
is seldom seen in England. To Scotch
whisky and shortbread, especially the
former, the Southron has taken very
kindly, but to him the haggis is still
an alien, probably because it is still
too strong for his more delicate stom-
ach
For the great chieftain o the
puddin' race" as Burns calls it, is to
tho Sassenach fearful and wonder
full wild fowl. 1t is made of sleeps
heart, liver and lungs, with some OF
the smaller intestines. These are sea-
soned with pepper, salt and onions.
and the whole is chopped UP fine, with
suet and oatmeal. Then the mixture
is rammed into the membrane of
sleeps stomach and boiled. And this
it is which has helped to make Scot
land what she is today. Says Burns,
addressing the haggis:
But mark the rustic, haggis fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his Walie nieVe a blade,
He'll max it WHSLE;
An legs an arms, an heads Will sned
Like taps O. thrissles.
Evidently not bad stuff to fight on.
And now Mrs. Browns fund is to be
recognized by the war office. Her
rich and rare buildings are to go to
the front with the sanction of the
powers that be; and Jock" and
Tam" once again will sit around
their well beloved dish all hot from
the pot. And when they have eaten
of it, woe betide the "boche" that
comes within striking distance of their
''walie nieves." There will be dirty
work. For, as Scotchman will tell
you, there is all Scotland in the bag
gis. There is Bannockburn and Flod-
den Field and the Forty-F'ive. There
is the wind in the heather and the
plunge of the salmon stream
With a bit of haggis on his dirk the
Scot can see in it's stream the banks
and braes O. Bonnie Doom and the
bonnie, bonnie banks O. Loeb Lomond.
He will feel his foot once more on
his native heath, and there will be
sparks. But, as brither Scot would
add, their "nieves" would be all the
more ''walie" if Mrs Brown would
only see to it that proportionate
quantity of mellow "OId Orkney" were
sent to stir into the haggises.

February %, similar conference is
to be held in Milwaukee to which the

The purpose of the conferences will

The Importance of the commercial
fisheries of Wisconsin appears in the
fact that during the year 1914, the last
for which official figures are given,
there were 16,746,645 pounds of fish
taken, valued at $706,925, employing
1926 men and requiring an investment
of S677,240
At these conferences many matters
relating to the interests of the fisher
men will be considered Among them,
size of mesh for the various kinds of
fish, minimum sizes of fish, advisable
ity of propagation of various kinds of
fish, dumping OF fish offal and other
matters familiar to the fishermen.

ance of the sturgeon from Wisconsin

Crimson Machine Worked Welt and
 Showed Big Improvement.

The Bates College football players offered little serious opposition to liar ward Saturday afternoon in the Stadi- um, at Cambridge. They did not threaten the Crimson's goal line all day, while Captain Dadmun's play CTS scored four touchdowns, from which two goals were kicked, making the score 26 to 0.
 The Crimson showed much improve ment over it's last weeks play. Both regulars and substitutes worked well enough to indicate that it will be some time before the coaches here will be able to pick out the final combinations for the big games. The team as 1t took the field had been working together for a week. The work of the. line not only was good. but the interference of the ends and backs was efficient, and made many big gains possible.
 The first touchdown was scored early on a 32-yard advance, in which a 15- yard drive through the line by Flower put the ball close to the goal, and not long after that Taylor blocked Bates kick. touched the ball and then fell on it close to the goal. From here one play was all that was necessary to score.
 In the second half, after Murray re placed Robinson at quarter, the sub- stitute backs ripped off eighty yards in four plays. Casey made two brilliant gains, and then Murray skipped off for thirty two yards and a score.
 A forward pass from. Murray to
