DIR. Cowden Laughlin and n
friend, Mr.. Carlson OF Chicago,
had an unpleasant experience in
Seattle last Thursday. DR.. Laugh
lin went TO the city Wednesday to
meet his friend, who was delayed
several hours Thursday forenoon
by a late train. When he finally
arrived they went to the Frye
Hotel to have talkfest and rest.
While coming down an elevator a
cable snapped and the cage load
ed with people dropped from the
fifth TO the third floor. All the oc-
cupants were badly bruised. some
quite seriously. DR.. Laughlin and
Mr.. Carlson escaped with minor
bruises and sprained ankles. and
altho suffering much pain were
able to reach the Island in the
evening. They felt the severe
shaking up for several days and
could get about with difficulty,
owing TO their feet being bruised
and swollen. However, they are
congraiulating themselves on es.
Gaping serious injury.

GOOD L WORLD

A good old world-be glad you're here,
To share its smile and share it's tear,
To dance and swing and have your
day,
To greet some brother on the way,
To lend your light that those who
stand
In darkness may not 60 astray
Across the green leagues Of the
land.
A good old world-look up and see
The glory of the grass and tree,
The bird and flower, the brook and
stream,
The dappled wales that lie in dream,
The hills, the stars, the fertile
slope,
And Ger bright SUBMITS catch the
CLEAN
OF life's immortal love and hope.
A good old world-be brave and
bright
70 face your task and fight the fight,
To sing your song and lift your eyes
Beyond the shadows of the skies.
And do your best to keep the trust
That more than all we wot of lies
Beyond this dslliance and this dust.
A good old world-play we'll your
part,
Get in the game and tune your heart
To manly will and fortnight deed,
And so through life with love for
creed
Be sure the heights you seek shall
glow
Before you yet, though feet may bleed
And many a bubble burst and blow.

COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING

Many of the people of the United States are Op- posed to military training in the schools, and espe ciay is this the case among certain elements of the trade unions and pacifics. They claim that military training in the schools, military training in any form would eventually result in the Prussianzing of America. Just how this system of "Prussianiz- ing" would result from this class of training is not quite apparent to the ordinary individual. In fact such training would only be form of athletics prac tced by many of the schools of the country today. It would result in the development of boys that un der .ne old system allowed to go through life pocr wrecks of men. Look at the young fellows af- ter few months of military training and you will agree that it sets them up and brings out all that is best in them. Their figures strengthened and then stride becomes quick and their whole being is given an alertness that they could not have ac- quired in any other way. Let every school in the United States have military training for ten years and the youth of the land will become 100 per cent more efficient.

LET US EMULATE THE MARTENS

The people of the southwest are in a way situated as are tke Martiens in the matter of water for ir rieation purposes On Mars the north polar cap be- gins to melt in the spring and by the early summer the waters are passing down through the tOrrd belt making the irrigation of vast tracts of land possible The southwest is similarly situated. The snOws of the north begin to melt in the latter part of March and by the first of June the whole southwest is aflood from this cause. But the people of the south west have not taken advantage of the situation has the Martiens. They have failed to empOund the waters in the northern watersheds and therefore b lions of acre feet of Gods nectar goes to waste The Msrtiens have provided great dams and canals and bring the water from the polar regions down into the warm valleys of the central part of that globe and use it as needs demand until the polar winter sets in again and freezes up the waters. Along the upper reaches of the Colorado river far up in the Wind River mountains, enough water is produced to cover all the vacant lands of Arizona and California; but it must be conserved by dams and canals to al low it to come down at the dictates of Along this great waterway can be developed power that will be aid to the irrigatOnists and bring into being every possible manufactory that the farmer may need to put them in marketable shape It would also give power to railroads mines, mills and shelters making the southwest of the best self-cOntained regions of the United States. Immense crops could be grown yearly, because of the possibility of alter mating crops throughout the year. No less than two crops can be grown the same ground every year and some of the warmer sections can bring in from two to six crops. It would solve the problem of fa- mine, that may some time Overtake nation where but one crop year can be grown. Let the congress of the United States look into this great project and give the people of the greatest irrigation sys- tens of the world

EFFORT TO STOP PROSPECTING

A bill has been introduced in congress- that while it does not say in words really strikes at the opera ton of unprOductve mines in the United States. The idea of the framers of the bill is to maintain all forces on production but as productive mines must do large amount of dead work to maintain prOduc- tOn it is not possible that unprOductve mines of to- day may not be the productive mines of tomorrow. Wires have been sent to western senators and repre- sentatives asking them to do all they to prevent this bill from becoming law. The object of the bill may have been to cover work coal and iron mines but it reaches to the other metals mines as well. Today there is not a productive potash mine in the country and the government is using every deavOr to bring them out. Therefore work would have to be suspended in that direction if a law for bade the work. The is true of mOlybdenum and tungsten, on which feversh effort is being made to extend the production to the limit Only small of each of the metals is being produced the greater number of properties being in the unprOduc tive stage Any shut down would be of the greatest injustice to the who have put their money into the enterprises to make a market for this product in the shortest possible time Senator Ashurst re- ports that there is lita possibility of the bill pass ing.

GARFIELD'S COAL ORDER

What a howl went up from the big fellows of the United States when Mir. Garafield made his now fa- nous order that all factories and manufacturers should be shut down for period of five days.

flesh From the pages of his pamphlets there leaps forth an army of red-blOOded Americans-alI brawn and bone, with surplus fat to speak of.
 The statistics of the selective draft show that the American youth of today is in better form and fetle than in the glorious days of '61. General CrOwder has kindly left in the dark by abstaining from comparisons with '76, for which we return thanks We prefer to believe that there giants in those days. It is enough to know that the wOrld-war lad dies mite robust than the boys who fought the civil war. The best that superefficient tests could do bring in verdict in their favor.

SENATOR BILL STONE

Last Monday, after telling the people of the United States that he wa5 going to make speech directed at against and into, Col. Theodore Roosevelt Sena- tor Stone who represents the great state of Missouri opened up his talk department and talked. It will be remembered that when the people of the United States unit for this same Bill Stone used every of influence he possessed against every measure that President Wilson was urging before congress. He was lined up with such men as La Toilette and the ant-war party. Now, Senator Bill Stone became peeved to think that Col. Roosevelt was getting more applause from the galleries than he, wherefore the attack. We do not believe thor Oughy as we might in the sincerity of Col. ROOse- velt but at time since the Germans entered poor Belgium has he failed in his duty in the enghten- ment of the people of the United States to the dtOns that confronted the country. The Greeks have a word that while it is Greek us, means the mouth without door, and this is the condition of Senator Bill Stone. His mouth needs door and his brain needs clarifying. He stands in the same light as Billy Hearst, who, when he found that prO-German- ism was not ad fait with the people of the United States tries to OutdO the best Americans in his ad- vOcacy of Americanism. Neither camOufIage the American people.
