Glass Industry In America.

Glass was first manufactured in
America by the people of jamestown,
Va, during the year 1915. Comment
ing on this fact, John Smith lamented
that "the labor of the colony has been
misdlrected In the manufacture Of
ashes, soap, glass and tar, in which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or Russia" The inhabitants
of jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, and soon afterward
commenced the erection of a glass
works, the completion of which was in
terrupted by the Indian massacre of
1922. The first glass factory In North
America to attempt the industry on an
ambitious scale was built in 1850, at
Temple, N. H., by Robert Hewes of
Boston. The workmen, 80 In number,
were German deserters from the Brit
ish army. The carelessness of work.
man caused the destruction of the
plant by fire In 1881. In 1903 a glass
factory was established In Boston, and
since that time the industry has -four

WHEN THE DOK|ES
GAME TO Town

Headed by the Weston band, the
Dokies-Al Kindi Temple. knights of
Khorassan, Of Walla Walla, came to
town Tuesday evening and snatched
a perspiring band Of neophytes from
the burning sands of the desert. The
hijinks did not end until early Wednes-
day morning.
Before the Doin's at X of P.-I. o.
Q. F. Hall, Pythian Lodge and the
Dokies seated themselves at a gor-
geous banquet in the M. E. church
dining room, which was spread by the
estimable ladies of the Red Cross, and
where the Direful Dokies gorged the
tiger to full repletion. A prominent
member of the order presided as toast
master. and many speeches were made
by gentlemen from abroad, only one
little incident occurring to mar the
pleasure of the evening, when one
Doky, refusing to sit down when or
dered, was shot, much to the apparent
regret OF the executioner.
A class of l8 were initiated into the
mysteries of the Temple, and while a
few of the number have not been seen
since it is not to be presumed that they
are entirely lost to family and friends;
inasmuch as it has long been an estab-
lished fact that once the Dokies have
worked on a victim, they always leave
spark of life when through with him.
Visitors included distinguished BAN
dts from Walla Walla. Prescott, Day.
ton and Waitsburg, Wash, and Una
tilla county towns. The tyro victims
too. were some class. including the
Mayor of Walla Walla, and banker,

MURDER OF M|RBACH

AMSTERDAM. Holland. July TO-
While the assassination of Gen. Count
Won Mirbach produced a sensation in
Germany. confused opinions seem to
prevail concerning the murder. On
one point, however. all observers are
agreed, namely, that events of i'm
portance are practically certain to
result. Such pacifists as exist in
Germany are deeply disturbed. They
feel that whatever effects result from
this cause the quickening of peace
tendencies cannot be one of them.
1ney anticipate a Strengthening of
the hands of the pan-Germans and of
all directly or indirectly associated
with them.
CONSERVATION at the crime reigned
among the aggressive elements in
Berlin, but it is suspected here that,
however sincerely those elements
may sympathize with Mirbach, they
hope his tragic exit will serve their
the bald shape of a demand for Ger
man occupation of Petrograd and
Moscow, the cleaning out of the boil
sheviki and the extension Of German
rule to the Urals.
If this radical plan Is set in motion,
momentous reactions may be expect
ed beyond the mountains. Bolshe-
vism is reported to be collapsing
throughout Siberia with the conse-
quent need of some governing power
to take its place. Meanwhile the
Czecho-Slovaks continue to exhibit
remarkable military activity and po-
litical capacity over the territories
adjacent to the Siberian railway.
