up for a mOment and glared all about
the room.
"Ransom!" he called weakly.
Yes. I'm here" answered Ransom.
soothingly.
Il wanted to tell you-Rookery loan
too bad"
Then he relapsed into silence and
then he reused up again.
Don't forget-will help out-corner
stone-that was one grand time!"
And then Rufus Markham died. It
required the sale Of the few possess
sions in the house to defray the ex-
penses Of the funeral. Ransom went
to the lawyer in charge of the estate
and told him about the deed. The at
torney smiled pityingly.
I'm afraid your i|mprov.dent uncle
has not very well provided for you"
he said. There is a heavy mortgage
on the Rookery and it will be fore
closed this week. The man who holds
it intends to rae the old brick rattle
trap and build a new mansion for
himself"
Ransom went away with a heavy
heart. He called on Eva and her
aged father that evening and impaired
the bad news. There was but one
thing to do. He must strike out for
some better field of labor.
IF we only had a home" he sighed,
"as we hoped, we could venture to
make a start in life together"
Don't go away, Ransom!" pleaded
his loving fancee. I'VE can wait pa
tiently for better times"
There's that lot of mine up near
the Rookery," suggested Mr.. Doane.
IF we could manage to build now"
That seemed impossible, but there
was a ray Of light next day. The hold
er of the mortgage met Ransom and
told him that he would pay him a good
price to tear down the old brick build
ing and cart the rubbish away.
II car have that?" inquired Ran
som, eagerly.
why, surely" was the ready reply.
and Ransom went away all enthused
with a hopeful brilliant idea. He inn
parted this to Eva and her father.
Why" cried Ransom optimistically,
"Ill move the brick over to the lot
and build the snuggest, prettiest little
home of our own you ever saw"
So tier by tier Ransom began to
demolish the old Rookery. Mr.. Doane
helped pile the rubbish into a wagon.
Eva insisted on acting as driver. All
hands helped and they comprised a
jolly, delighted coterie. At length
they were down to the foundation pill
lar.
Pretty nigh through" chirped old
Mr., Doane, as be Clipped the hard
plaster from a stubborn brick.
"Whew! What's this-lead?"
The old man lifted and dropped a
brick that lay in a measure incased
in a hollow space in the pillar. Ran
som reached over, picked it up and
uttered a whistle Of sheer astonish-
ment.
"Queer!' he observed. Whats
this scratched on it? Corner stone Of
the Rookery,'" and there was a date
beneath the words. Il see, l see-oh
Eva!"
She came running towards her lover
tracing a rare excitement in his man
ner and voice.
What is 1t, dear?" she iuttered.
"A fortune-if it is ours" declared
Ransom. "Oh, l understand 1t all
In that great celebration Of Uncle
Rufus and his friends, when they
started the house gold was plentiful.
and this, the corner stone, is a part
of IT,"
No nj objected to the valid owner
ship Of the treasure on the part o
Ransom. The gold brick became thu
nest egg Of the future fortune Of pa
tient Ransom and loyal Eva.

ENGINEERING PROFESS
SOR TO LEAVE

1t is with sincere regret that the
students of the University note the
leaving of Mr.. Winslow of the Engi-
neering faculty. Altho he has been
with us only year, he has impressed
us as being one of the big men Of
the faculty. He is a true scholar, and
an engineer of no mean ability. Mr..
Winslow is not one who has confined
himself to one line of work solely,
but has shown interest in every
phase of college work. Every effort
should be put forth to keep Mr.. Wins
low with us If we are to have a
great university, we must offer in
ducement to such men to stay with
u.s. They are the men whom we need
and whom we must keep.-Clyde P.

CHICKEN POX
MAY SPREAD
CITIZENS URGED TO COOPERATE
WITH HEALTH OFFICER AND
PHYSICIANS
County Attorney Calls Attention to
Law on Contagious
Diseases

The appearance Of small pox in some
of the Palouse towns adds to the grav-
ity of the chicken pox epidemic that
has prevailed here, as the diseases are
likely to be mistaken for one another.
AS an attack of small pox might be
mistaken for chicken pox, and there
are no quarantine regulations with re-
gard to the latter, an epidemic of small
pox might easily gain headway unless
the greatest precautions are taken in
cases that appear to be chicken pox.
Citizens are urged to cooperate with
the health officer and the physicians
both in checking the spread of chicken
pox, and in the prevention of an cpl
demic of small pox here. All cases of
sickness should be reported to the
family physician at once, and until it
is proved beyond reasonable doubt
that a case is not small pox the same
precautions should be observed as if
it was.
BY law, attending physicians are re-
quired to report to the health officer
cases of Smallpox, cholera, plague,
yellow fever, typhus fever, diptheria,
membranous Group, scarlet fever, ty-
phoid fever, infantile paralysis, and
cerebrospinal meningitis, or any other
disease dangerous to the public health
or required by the state board OF
health to be reported and declare
temporary quarantine, and prohibit
entrance to or exit from such house;
such temporary quarantine to remain
in effect only until such time as the
proper health officer cen be notified
and can act in the matter
an like manner it shall be the
duty of the head of the family, and
of the owner or agent of the build
ing in which person resides who
has any of the diseases herein named
or provided against, or in which are
the remains of a person having died
of any such disease, Immediately af-
ter becoming aware of the fact, to
give notice thereof to the health Of
ficer"
The health officers are authorized
to inspect premises believed to have
the diseases mentioned on them, and
to quarantine the premises or isolate
the patient.
Heavy fine or Imprisonment is pro-
vided for violations of the law or
failure of any person to perform the
duties imposed upon him by it.

THIRTEEN TOWNS
IN GLEE CLUB TOUR
AMBITIOUS SOUTHERN TOUR is
NOW CERTAINTY-CL MEM
BERS TO LEAVE APRIL 12
Eleven Idaho and Two Oregon Cities
to Be Made-ReceptiOn and Dance
At POcateIlO

Thirteen towns will be made by the
Glee Club on it's southern tour, two
of them in Oregon, and eleven in
Idaho. The club will leave on April
10, making Pendleton that evening
going on to Baker on the eleventh
jumping to Weiser on the twelfth
making Payette on the thirteenth
Nampa the seventeenth, Gooding the
| eighteenth, Twin Falls the nineteenth,
Blackfoot the twentieth, Idaho Falls
the twentyfirst, st. Anthony the
atelly on the twenty-fourth.
There is a peculiar significance in
the number of towns to be made
Thirteen has always been a lucky
number for the club and it's name
should be Willie R. +Billiken for this
trip A nice alibi is ready, however
if the trip proves a. fivver. "Wot
can you do against a jinx?" will be
the plant that should completely
salve a failure.
Assistant Business Manager Priest
found the people of the southern end
of the state uniformly cordial and
enthusiastic in their interest in the
club and there is every reason to be-
lieye that the trip will be a success.
Two matinees will be given, run
ming the total number of perform
ances UP to fifteen. The club will
make Boise on a Saturday and appear
there afternoon and evening at the
high school auditorium, the Pinney
Theatre having been leased for two
weeks run of big movie. The next
stop will be at st. Anthony, where
an afternoon concert will be given
at the Industrial school,
The trip finale will come in Poca-
tello. The University club, yOuns
but peppery organization, will handle
the concert there and arrangements
have already been made for recep
ton and dance in honor of the club
members.

The executive board of the Idaho
State Tax Association met in Boise
last week for the purpose of appoint
ing a permanent secretary and adopt
ing rules for future activities. They
voted to divide the state into two dis
tricts in each Of which some member
of the association would represent it.
Those present were: H. t. Lewis

X. Hayes, Emmett and P. H. Smith of
Twin Falls.

Resolved, That the executive board
authorize an official representative of
the association in each county of the
state
Resolved, That inasmuch as the in
formation contained in the special re-
port of the Idaho State Tax Commits
sion is of inestimable value to the peQ-
pie of the state, that it be the sense
of the board that the information tabu-
lated in that special report serve as a
basis for further action and that it be

Resolved, That inasmuch as a pro-
gram is impossible without compre-
hensive data that steps be taken to de-
velop system of uniform accounting
for the state and local units.
Resolved, That it be the sense of the
board that the association should keep
a representative in Boise during the
legislative session to keep members in
formed thru the press on all revenue
measures proposed and as to the ac-
ton thereof: that this information
should be disseminated without criti-
cism favorable orr unfavorable by the
representative"

A Big STRIKE
IS THREATENED
WALK-OUT OF TRAINMEN WOULD
TIE UP ALL AMERICAN
RAILROADS
Catastrophe Would Make European
War Sink Into Oblivion, Says
Official

BY the United Press Associations.
ST. PAUL, Mar. 9.-That a strike
by 100000 railway trainmen for in
creased wages will be great calam-
ity to the nation was the opinion ex
pressed by leading railroad official
today The result of the brotherhood
vote is expected within "a hours and
if it favors their demands it will pre-
cipitate a crisis never before known
in the history of this country.
W. S. Stone of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers was reported
this morning to have said that ma
jority of employees favor pressing
their demands for higher wages. That
the railways cannot grant them is de-
clared certain.
"a complete tieup of every railroad
in the country will be a catastrophe
that will make European war sink in
to oblivion" said this official today
There is only one way to stop it and
that is for the public which will be
the sufferer, to take decided action
in calling a halt on the part OF the
trainmen. The railroads cannot grant
the demands now asked. Such ad-
vances to the best paid class of work
ing men in the country today would be
ridiculous and a travesty on justice"

RALPH FOSTER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

According to word just received by
Professor Axtell, Ralph Foster, who is
a Rhodes scolar from Idaho, recently
passed thru thrilling experience. He
was on board the Maloja in the Straits
of Dover enroute to Egypt where he
had been assigned to Y. d. c. A. work,
when the ship struck mine evidently
planted by German submarines. AS is
always the case when such accidents
occur the ship sank almost immediate
ly. even before the life boats could be
cleared. Mr.. Foster procured life
belt and threw himself into the water
when the ship has listed so far as to
make further efforts with life boats
useless. He spent over an hour in
the water, clinging to wreckage from
the ship until he was finally picked up
by a British trawler.
Mr.. Foster graduated from the Uni
versity of Idaho in 1913. While here
his scholastic work was of the highest
order In 1912 he won the Watkins
medal for oratory and after graduation
he received the Rhodes scholarship ap-
pointment. At Oxford he was study
ing modern languages at Lincoln Col
lege until the university nearly disor-
ganized during the past year, when he
obtained a years leave of absence
he nd nj
Y M. C. A. work with the British
army. The assignment to take up his
work in Egypt was the first given him.
Apparently, from all evidence, Mr.
Foster is regularly commissioned
lieutenant in the English army.
