Long, Pleasant Trip
In Maxwell Auto

l.. A. Braden and family returned
home last week from trip TO Myrtle
Point, Coos county, that had many
kinds of excitement in it. Early in the
summer Mr.. Braden purchased Max
well and had made a few short runs,
this being the first run of any conse-
quenee. 1t is 23S miles from Hubbard
to their destination in Coos county.
When they arrived in the foot hills
southwest of here they were caught in
g thunder storm which besides giving
them plenty of thrills, made the road
rather slick, which condition prevailed
all the rest of the way. The last 63
miles of the run is a succession of steep
hills, the Rice hill north of Reseburg
for instance, 63 miles. This stretch of
hilly road Mr.. Braden says was made
with three and a half gallons of gaso-
line. During the visit at Myrtle Point
there was one side trip over noun
tain four and a half miles of steep
climbing that was made without beating
the engine, it being as cool at the top of
the hill as when they started. The hard
hill climbing was done on intermediate
gear, and part Of this trip was made
over trails thought to be too steep for
vehicles to get over. Mr.. Braden is very
much in love with his Maxwell. He
covered 700 miles in the trip.-Hubbard
Enterprise.

THE MELTING POT

The Melting Pot depicts the merging
into Amerieanism of n family of Rus
sian Jews. These consist of three peo'
.ple, David Quixano, his uncle, Mendel
Quixano, and his uncle's mother, Frau
Quixano. The two older people do not
take kindly to life in the new land and
their thoughts constantly turn backward
to their old home where they could OBJ
serve the customs of she race. The
young man, however, becomes true
American and his devotion to the flag
and flashes of patriotism throughout

AN Eminent
PENOLOCIST

Penology, the science which treats
of public punishment of malefactors
in respect to both society and the suf-
ferer, has had few ADLER students on
this side of the Atlantic than Richard
Vaux. This is the centenary of the
birth of Vaux in Philadelphia, where
Judge Roberts Vaux had already,
gained more than a local reputation
by his devotion to charity, education
and the reform of the penal code.
Judge VauX, just a century ago this
year, helped to organize the first saw
ings bank of America in Philadelphia,
and he was also one Of the origina-
tors of the public school system Of
Pennsylvania, and the founder of a
deaf and dumb asylum. Richard
Vaux was educated for the law, and
in his young manhood served as sec
rotary of legation in London and
Brussels. In 1S45 he gained a wide
reputation in the legal world by the
publication OF his Recorders Deci-
sions," compiled while he was serv-
ing as recorder of deeds in Philadel-
phia. Not a single decision of his was
ever reversed by a higher court. In
1913 he was appointed an inspector
of the Eastern Penitentiary of Penn
sylvania, and for more than half a
century prepared it's annual reports.
He soon gained recognition as one of
Americas greatest authorities on
penology, and on that subject deliver
ed numerous lectures and wrote many
papers. He was elected mayor Of
Philadelphia on the Democratic
ticket in 1855. He died in Philadel
phia in 1895.

PREMIER HUGHES
TAkESSLA AM AT
FOES OF DRAFTS
Assails Anti Conscription-
lists for Voting Down
Government Measure

Melbourne. Australia. Dec. 10
Notwithstanding the limitations I'M
posed by the peoples verdict in refus-
ing to accept CONSUMPTION, the gov
eminent believes Australia will con-
tinue to play her part creditably III
this war; said Premier Hughes in
recent speech at the Lord Mayors
dinner in Melbourne.
t'The result Of the referendum he
said, settled one point. and one point
only-that we may not have recourse
to compulsion in order to provide re-
Inducements for oversee service dur
ing the war-and of course it cannot
affect in any way Australians obliga-
tons to the empire. The people mis-
led by gross misrepresentation have
declined to entrust the government
with the powers asked for. The de-
cision of the people will profoundly
affect the future not only of this young
Commonwealth, but Of democratic
government generally. Certainly this
refusal on the part of free people
to make sacrifices to defend their free
dom will be used as proof of the un-
wisdom of submitting great national
issues directly to the people. But
while we regret the decision, consider
ing the odds against us there is no
need to be discouraged"
Mr.. Hughes attacked the anti-con-
scriptionists in this language: What
must be the feelings of tens of thous-
ands of loyal Australians who misled
by the outrageous Misrepresentation
Of designing men voted NO when they
read the enthusiastic approval of their
action by the German press? Is
there one man or woman who voted
No and who loves Australia who does
not feel Inundated and ashamed to
see in what light their action is re-
garded in Germany?'
Speaking of troubles in the Com
monwealth chief of which was a
threatened strike of coal miners, Mr..
Hughes said:
1.-THE strikes and upheavals, politi-
cal and industrial, we see around, us
are the manifestations of deliberate
policy which aims at destroying So
ciety as it now exists. They are the
work of men who, calling themselves
by many names or by no name are in
effect anarchists and assisting them
for their own purposes are certain
sections who are AGAINST the empire
What must he the duty of any gov
eminent worthy of the name under
such circumstan 1t is to carry
on the war with vigor, to prove to
the empire and tofthe world that the
heart of Australia beats true, that i

v|RCINIA'S
COLON|STS

The first English settlers bound for
Virginia sailed from the Downs 80
years ago to-day, Dec. 10, 1906. There
were 105 emigrants in all on board
the three tiny ships-the Susan Con-
slant, Of 100 tons;; the Goodspeed, of
40 tons, and the Discovery, a mere
cockleshell of 20 tons. In the follow
ingsApril the squadron entered Cheese
peake Bay, and in May they landed at
the place they called jamestown.
Half of the co1onists-all of whom
were men-died before autumn, when
Capt. John Smith assumed control
He was soon captured by hostile In
dams, and condemned to death, but
was saved by Chief Powhatan's
daughter, Pocahontas. Early in
1908 another shipload of immigrants,
120 in number, arrived at Jamestown.
Then followed, in 1909 and 1910, the
period known in Virginia history as
'4the starving time" when the colony
was reduced from 400 to 60 in six
months. The survivors set out in
their few small vessels hoping to
reach Newfoundland, but relief ship
arrived in the nick Of time to save
them. There had been earlier at
tempts to colonize Virginia, but those
who left England in 1906 were the
first to win a permanent foothold on
the soil of the Old Dominion.

among the poor that his memory has
been most ardently treasured. AL
ways and everywhere the genial saint
of Bari has been considered the
friend of the under dog, and he is
the saint the Russian serfs and peas
ants have prayed to for centuries.
Several years ago the Russian gov
eminent offered three millions OF
rubles for the relics Of st. Nicholas,
but the people Of Bari Indignantly re-
pulsed the proposition. Give up the
sacred relics, from which the mamma
of st. Nicholas still flows to heal all
manner of illness? Never! Not for
a thousand times three million rubles,
the Italians told the Russian en-
bassy.
Like many other saints, st. Mich
olas would seem to have been twins,
for his only genuine skeleton is at
Bari, and an equally bona f1de skele-
ton is preserved in Venice. Both rel
les are said to perform miracles OF
healing. The Russian Orthodox
church has placed the seal of authen-

opinion is held by a majority OF Ro-
man Catholic thorities-except

ROTHSCHILDS
AS SOLDIERS

While the chief business of the
Rothschi1ds is to supply the sinews of
WAR to the belligerent nations-and
each branch of the famous financial
dynasty is supplying money to the
country of it's adoption-there are a
number of members of the clan in the
fighting, ranks. Leopold de Roths-
child, Of the English branch, a
younger brother of the late Lord
Rothschild, has three sons, all of
whom are officers in the same regi-
ment, the Royal Bucks Fusiliers. One
of the sons, Lieut.. Anthony Gustav de
Rothschild, was wounded during the
fighting in the Dardanelles last year.
The present Lord Rothschild is a stu
dious, quiet man, with no taste for
either finance or warfare. The French
branch of the family has been bril-
Hantly represented > at the front by
Baron Edouard Rothschild, who was
the head of the French financial
house until the outbreak o fthe war.
AS soon as hostilities commenced he
relinquished his financial leadership
and went to the front, holding the
rank of lieutenant. His military rec
ord is said to have been EXCEPTIONAL
ly good The Austrian Rothschilds
have more representatives on the
fighting line than any other branch
of the clan, and a few weeks ago it
was reported that Baron Alphonse
Rothschild had been promoted to the
rank Of major gallantry in action. The
Austrians of the family have also
contributed lavishly to the war chest
of the Central Powers, and have tax
en- up large proportions of the great
| war loans of the Austrian govern
ment without demanding any secur-
| ity beyond the governments promise
to pay. In this respect they have dis
played greater patriotism than the
English and French houses, which
demanded collateral for their loans
The Frankfort house has also played
an important part in nancing Ger
| manYs participation in the war.

THE FETE DU TSAR


Russians will celebrate to-day the
festival of st. Nicholas of Bari, the
patron saint of the empire, as the
name day Of Nicholas II. Although
st. Nicholas Day is observed in west
ern Europe on the sixth Of December,
owing to the difference in calendars,
the French will also join in the cele-
bration of the rFete du Tsar'' to-day.
Prior to the war tens of thousands Of
pious Russians made annual pilgrim
ages to Italy to see the sacred relics
of their patron saint, which are pre-
served at Bari. Several years ago the
pilgrims introduced a plague of Asia
tic cholera into Italy.
While ST. Nicholas is venerated all
over Europe, it is in Russia that he is
elevated to the highest pinnacle of
renown. Emperors are named after
him, and the Orthodox church has
placed his festival almost on an
equality with Christmas, but it is

HOW H. C. FRICk
COT HIS START

Henry Clay Prick, multi millionaire
coke and steel magnate, was born at
West Overflow in Westmoreland
county, Pa, 81 years ago to-day. At
the time of his birth his father, John
w. Frick, was an engineer in mill,
but he had formerly been farmer In
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The future
capitalist was born in the home of his
mothers father Abraham Overholt,
who was a flour miller and distiller.
The elder Prick faileds in bushes,
and when he was IL years old Henry
was practically adopted by his grand
father. His education was gained in
the common schools of his native vii
lage, although he spent short per-
iod at Chester Military Academy and
a few months at Otterbein university
in Ohio.
Mr.. Tricks business career COM
menced when he was 16 years old.
His first job was as clerk in coun-
try store, but he soon abandoned this
for a position as bookkeeper in his
grandfathers- distillery. From there
he went to the Office of Morgan &
Company, dealers in coke and when
he attained his majority he was their
agent in Poughkeepsie,.
The coke Industry was then an in
FAINT, but the youth believed that it
was lusty infant and bound to grow.
And he decided to grow with it. That
decision was the foundation of the
tremendous Frick fortune of the fu-
ture. He joined a company to build
short railroad penetrating the Con-
nellsville coke region. This road was
opened in 1871, and the same year
witnessed the launching of. the cor
poration of Frick and Company, coke
dealers. In this venture the young
man had the financial backing Of his
grandfather and Of, the latter's part
ner, Abraham O. Tintsman. The
Prick concern bought 80 acres of soft
coal lands and 81 coke ovens, and
within a year added $50 ovens to it's
equipment. In 1878, when a great
panic was on, young Frick borrowed
money and bought out his partners
From that time the business prosper.

came larger than all other coke con.

1889, and had charge of the great
Homestead strike of 1892, when he
was shot and stabbed by Alexander
Berkmann, a Russian anarchist, and
