after graduating from Battle Creek
/ came East with a patient and finally
to New York and Bridgeport, where l
have been since. But always / have
wanted to get back. Always / have
watched for ships that would surely
touch at Pitcairn. In the meantime
my people there have gone on much as
they always have, living their beauti-
full lives. There is no money in cir
culation there, none of the crimes of
the big outside world, no intoxicants,
and though they raise tobacco no one
smokes. There is no discussion of
suffrage arguments because women
have always voted. / have seldom
heard from them; it was over a year
the last time that waited for letter
from home, and they waited for ship
to come and get 1t. One Of the few
letters brought me news of the death
of the young man to whom was en-
gagged. When the Panama canal was
opened it promised short cut to the
island, with the probability that some
ships would land at my home, and |
determined to go. But recently, when
l had made plans, there came slide
in the canal and have been waiting
now for that to be cleared.
II want to get back and begin car
ing for my own. Though I am not q
physician l know enough about medt-
cine to take care Of ordinary cases,
and there is no law there against my
doing it. l have done all sorts of
dental work except gold filings"
Miss Mccoy hopes to help develop
her island. Twenty-eight kinds of
fruit are grown there, and she thinks
a canning factory would pay. The
climate is ideal; she never saw snow
until she reached California. AS wom-
en- vote in her island there is no reason
why a woman shouldn't be president,
and though she says she isn't going
after the job, she might not refuse it,
because it would enable her to be Of
more service. She Is very fond of
music, as are the Tahitian people,
and she will carry back with her a
piano. The only other musical instru-
ment on the island is an organ, given
to the natives by Queen Victoria many
years ago.
Although the young man to whom
she was engaged is dead, and there
are more women than men on the
island, there are still eligible young
men there, she admitted when deny
ing with merry eyes that she was
going to take back anyone with her.
No one is allowed to land there and
settle from the outside world, but she
said she thought that should she take
back captive he would probably be
admitted for the sake Of getting her
back with her medical, dental and
nursing knowledge.

FOR CONGRESS
CHARLES F. MONTGOMERY

The endorsement of President
Wilson's program Tor preparedness
by the Republicans themselves have
left that party without any particu-
lar plank to stand on for the present.
Jus what excuse they will have for
Just what excuse they will have for
putting a candidate in the field this
country enjoying the greatest pros
perity in years and the prospect of
still better times to come; with the
removal of the tariff from politics by
the proposed appointment of tar
iff commission; with our diplomacy
triumphant instead of the country
being plunged into futile war, there
is every propect that Wilson will be
returned to office by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Big business, little
business. labor and capital are all
receiving a square deal and all are too
busy to oppose him, nor do they have
the disposition to do so. How the
problems which have confronted the
country, many of them overshadow-
ing in importance even those of the
Civil war period and period just be-
fore and just after it, could have
been settled in any more satisfactory
manner is difficult to see.

A. Il. L., st. Louis. Mo.-From
all appearances the late develop
ments in the Cracker Jack property
are of great importance and likely
to place the property on a substan-
tial producing basis in the near
future. In addition to the discover
les of ore in raises from the 100
foot level, it is of Importance to
the stockholders that the mine will
now be explored on deeper levels
and Manager Mcmahon is now max
ing preparations to explore the pro-
perty in a thorough ann on the
32O-foot level, where the main veins
will probably be cut within a rela-
lively short distance from the main
shaft. The Grandma property
should be in condition to show some
thing of interest within the next
80 to 40 days, when the shaft will
probably have reached the main
vein. Sandstone may be expected
to cut an ore-shoot within the next
month at most.

Attempt to Loot Safe

Unknown persons made an I'M
successful attempt a few nights ago
to break into the safe of a Battle
Mountain garage and lack of time
is the only reason they did not meet
with success in the undertaking.
The combinations to the outer door
of the safe were smashed to pieces
with a sledge hammer and the
pieces thrown under a desk. The
precision and accuracy with when
a hole had been drilled through the
outer wall of the safe to tap and
destroy the effect of an important
screw on the inner side proved thar
the men were experienced.
