THE SIMPLE LIFE.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 13.-"This sure is the simple life we are leading on the island now" said an old resident last night as he took a walk down town while wifey was washing up the dinnor dishes He had arranged a convenient. "smoke hole" in his mask for the stem of his pipe and after a painstaking effort in filling and lighting his old briar, sadly re. marked: Fellow ain't got an even break during this quarantine. The wife always gets the best of an argu- ment and even skins you on a game of dummy solo. I had to come down town, but there ain't a chance, for the mayor, Bradley and Doc Sargent have put the lid on so tight pro. hibition expert hasn't even a look in We'll. so long. me for the simple life again. When I get back home the women will still have the best Of the argument and say: q told you sO."

THANKS ARE DUE THE LOCAL RED CROSS FOR
 GOOD SUPPLY OF MASKS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 13.-Through the energetic efforts of the Island Red Cross members, everyone on the island has been supplied with face masks at the reasonable price of ten cents. It was at first reported that the masks would be sold for 9 cents, but all those on sale at the two Douglas drug stores and at the Treadwell store and club, have never sold for more than the actual ex- pense of material and making.
 Red Cross members can sacure the masks from A. E. Gurr, of Douglas, Mrs. L. S. Ferris, at Treadwell and Mrs Mrs. Jack Mccormick at the Pines.
 A good supply of the masks are now on sale at the above mentioned places and the Red Cross workers are entitled to a vote of thanks in keeping the supply on hand for the public.

CELEBRATE VICTORY.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 13.-When the message was confirmed on Monday that the armistice had been signed and the great war had come to a close, Douglas citizens were not be- hind in celebrating the joyful news. Whistles blew in Treadwell and one of the Douglas firemen climbed to the top of the tower and rang the fire bell until he was exhausted. Later someone got hold of quantity of black powder and the old Russian cannon on Second street was loaded and fired a number of times, the first action the old gun had seen in many years, according to the old resi- dents here.

PIONEER RAIDS
RECALLED BY
EARLY SETTLERS
Trouble in Big Bend District
+: Much Like That of
Early Days.

Maria. Tex, Jan. 23.-Pioneer days
OF Indian raids on American settle.
ments along the frontier were re.
called by old time ranchmen and cat
tlemen who live in the Big Bend dis
trict of Texas by the raids which
have occurred during the past two
on isolated ranches along the
Mexican boundary.
Hatred of the white man and q
scarcity of food which threatens star
walton for the outlaws who dwell
tlonal line were responsible for these
raids just as they were for the Indian
raids of frontier days. At Indio. op-
poslte Buena Vista, and at the Brite
ranch in the famous Rim Rock dis
trlct of the Big Bend, Mexican ban
dts riding stolen horses, shooting
American ammunition from Ameri-
can made guns and many wearing the
stolen uniforms of the Mexican fed
eral soldiers. charged across the
border. circled the homes Of the set
their adobe ranch houses and killing
everyone who could not find cover.
The raid on the Brite ranch was
typical of the outlaw methods of these
raiders. Fording the Rio Grande
from Mexico. SO of these Mexican
bandits rode Is miles across the bar
rem desert country to the nearest
n settlement which was. the home,
store and p%ostoffice of the L. C. Brite
cattle ranch. The Mexicans were
careful to ascertain that no Ameri-
can soldiers were encamped on the
ranch, This vas done the night be-
fore by sending a deaf and dumb boy
to the ranch in the pretext of finding
employment. He asked permission to
camp there for the night and lighted
a camp fire which was, in reality, a
signal fire to the bandits waiting on
the top of Rim Rock which rises from
the level plain like a giant shell.
The women in the ranch houses
were preparing breakfast when the
Mexicans opened fire. riding in q
circle about the houses and outbuild-
ings. Lying on the floor to avoid
the high powered bullets which
crashed through the windows and
doors, the ranchmen fired volley after
volley at the raiders. their women
loading their rifles as fast as they
were emptied. Finally the leader Of
the band fell with a bullet through,
his brain and the bandits rode over
the Rim Rock with ranchers and fly
ing %squadrons of cavalry from head
quarters here in close pursuit. They
were pursued into Mexico by the
troops and all but eight Of the ban
dts killed or wounded. Three Amer
leans were killed.

REGISTRATION

500 daily, bringing in for the building
of state and county highways APP

office. The demand for automobile
licenses is unusually heavy, largely
because the mild weather enables a
majority of car-owners to use their
machines. The average license fee IL
Sc. including old cars which have
been registered for three successive
years and which come in under the
new registration Law at half rate.
There also seems to be an unusual
expansion in notarial business. From
five to twelve certificates, accompan-.
led by a fee Of IS, are daily received
at the secretary of states office for
fling. The corporation business il
unusually heavy. and Secretary Of
State Hall deduces from all these
facts a conviction that commercially

again struck an even keel. that war
conditions have been discounted, and
that business as usual will be the
rule for 1918.
