MILITARY TRAINING. - Let us
consider in a serious and intelligent
manner this insistent and loud de-
mand from certain quarters that our
sons be compelled, for two, or more
years, to give up school or a trade
half learned in order to learn the arts

Who are the people who make de-
mands of such vital sacrifice on the
part of the young men and boys of
this republic? Are they men who
themselves by their deeds have prov
en- their patriotism and brOtherly
love for humanity, or are they the

war tremble and shake in their
boots and cry to the government and
the people for protection for them
selves and their vast property inter

hunt for Bennett Stoddart, be-
lieved to be responsible for the
brutal assault on little Mamie
Torkko, who was found nearly
dead from exposure and injuries
buried under a pile of brush and
logs near Carbonate Saturday.
The only definite clue in the
man-hunt came from Sunset noun
tain, near Franklin, late Sunday,
when it was reported that a man
answering Stoddart's. description
had been seen coming out of the
woods, on his way to Franklin,
about 16 miles from Carbonate.

The man was dripping wet and
excited. and asked the distance to
Franklin, according to reports.
Deputy Sheriff June, stationed
at Carbonate, accounted Monday
noon, that the search so far had
proved a failure, altho several
several clues are being run down.
Authorities declare that il Stod-
dart is found by any of the posses
of miners who have been on the
search since the girls mysterious
disappearance was reported by her
mother last Friday, there is al

Sheriff Longmire left Tacoma

been received from him.

Her recovery is considered re-

A. v. Love. They told the park
board that after a careful inves.
tigation they had decided that
Point Defiance was the logical
location for a ferry dock on this
side of the water.
At End of Gulch.
Because the ferry makes only
seven miles an hour, and a per-
son could come to the city from
Point Defiance by street car OF
auto much quicker than on the
boat, they believed such a location
would give speedier service.
Suggestion by members of the
park board that it might take a
year for the government to grant
permission for a dock there was
met by promises of the commit
tee that they would get speedy
action from the government.
After the committee had depart
ed, the park board went into ex-
ecutive session to discuss the
idea.
The proposed ferry dock would
be at the end of a gulch, Just south
