DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
coincidcnce-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told sns about the cloths Of vegetable
fiber made by the a%ncients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were of even Il more remote date. In
some respects the methods Of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns o being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing it on
the material, but is secured by means
of a substance known as mOrdant, SC
did the Peruvians make use of prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand a test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction Of tech
meal and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.

Speakers Office important.

The office of the speaker of the
house of representatives is of great
Importance on account of the power
of the speaker in shaping and CON
trolling legislation, which is now much
less than formerly. His influence or
national legislation was believed by
many even to exceed that eXertcd by
the president. 1t carries with it $:
much political prestige and influence
that it is generally regarded as q
stepping stone to the presidency, but
up to the present time only one
speaker has been elected president
viz, James X. Polk OF Tennessee
Henry Clay, three times elected speak
err. was 81 lifelong aspirant for thu
presidency, but did not attain i:
James G. Blaine, speaker from 1SG!
to 1875. a nominated and defeate!
for president in 1884.

THEN THE PAINTER MOVED
Georges Reason Was Good Enough
for Him, al It Was "Some"
Fire.

Portland, Ore.-George Thompson,
50 gentleman of color" lived upstairs
over a paintshop. The painter, return
ing from lunch, saw George come
hastily downstairs, carrying a rocking
chair, three pictures, a china bowl and
a water pitcher.
"'Smatter, George?" asked the paint
er.
"Tse movin'," replied George, depos-
fling his belongings on the curb, and
returning hastily upstairs.
He was down again in a minute with
another load of household effects. The
painter, mildly curious, asked him
where he was moving.
"I'se movin' right inter de street."
answered George, again fastening up
stairs.
The painter lighted a cigar and
awaited the next trip. Presently back
came George. carrying a mattress in
one arm and q cot In the other, and
still in a hurry.
"Why are YOU moving, George?'
the painter inquired.
use movin' cause your shops afire,H
answered George.
And then the painter moved, too
and with nor haste than George.

A Worlds Record.

What is said to be the worlds rec
ord production of marketable pota-
toes on one acre-49,531 pounds. or
1926 bushels-has been made on an acre
of land near Kanab. in the southeast
ern section of Utah, Il few miles from
the Arizona state. line. The record
yield was made in response to a com
petition fostercd by the Mormon
church, and the church authorities
drew Il check for $1,000 payable to a
representative OF Kanab ward of the
Kanab stake of the church,. which is
responsible for the production. This
yield is certified to by more than So

USES BANK BILLS
FOR BOOK MARKS
Heirs Find Snug Savings Tucked
Away Forgotten by
Owner.

Toronto, Can.-Archdeacon Boldly.
for forty years the rector of st.
Peters church, had so little regard for
the value of money that he used bank
notes for book-lnarks, and this habit
caused his heirs-at-law a whole lot OF
worry they might have been spared had
the good rector kept his little fortune
in the savings bank.
Archdeacon Boldly died ID years ago.
After the funeral his relatives made a
search to unearth his bank-books, for
1t was known that he possessed saw
ings. But search revealed no sign Of a
fortune. There was nothing in the
house, so far as could be seen, save
the scanty furniture and a library Of
5000 books.
The relatives Of the dead clergyman
had decided that he left no cash at oil.

Extracting Salt From Ocean.

Experiments i'll Norway with Il view
to extracting salt from ocean water
by means Of electricity have been sue
cessful, and two salt factories will be
started for this purpose in the near
future. In recent years it has been
diiticult to get salt from abroad and
sometimes it has been Impossible to
salt down the fish. The new salt
works should greatly improve the sit
uatiOn.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1918-12-05

and so the matter stood for - years,
or until Il few weeks ago, when the ex-
ecutors made a strange discovery.
In c%ataloguing the Boldly library,
preparatory to selling it, they found a
$40 bill tucked between the leaves of
q volume of drawings. In another book,
a So bill was found similarly employed
as a hook-mark. A systematic search
followed and every book in the collec-
ton was examined. When the task
was finished there had been recovered
$3.50 in cash and S1,15O in bank
checks. All the latter are worthless
now many of those who signed them
having died years ago..
The archdeacOn was ab~sent-lninded.
1t is thought that when he received Il
special fee for weddings or extra serv-
ice, he Slipped it into a book, and
promptly forgot all about it.

TO ENFORCE HOUSING RULE

The United States shipping board
announces that it will exercise its
power to commanders houses for ship
yard workers. 1t is stated that at
Newport News, Va, ship yard work
ers are being forced out by landlords
in order that they may relet to nom
war workers.
"Already rentals have been ad-
vanced in some cases three-fold," it
is stated. at is not the disposition
of the fleet corporation to act in an
arbitrary manner or to cause in
justice to any one, but it feels that
it is it's duty to prevent, wherever
possible, fragrant cases of profteer-
ing at the expense of ship yard
workers, which cause extreme dis
satisfaction among the workers and
tends to an unnecessary labor turn
over, and the fleet corporation will
not hesitate to exercise it's power
under the housing bill wherever its
attention is called to cases of this
description"

FRAME-UP AGAIN PROVEN

Attorneys for Thos. ]. Mooney have
filed another affidavit to prove that
their client was convicted by i'm
proper methods.
The affidavit is made by William
H. Smith, acting inspector of police
of the Oakland police department,
who says that on July %, 1916, he
took Nellie Edeau from Oakland to
the San Francisco police department
where she was shown he~picture of
man with a mustache. She was
told that this was Mooney. She was
then taken to the Jail and shown both
Mooney and Warren K. Billings.
Smith makes oath that the Edeau
woman then declared to this affant
that she had never in her life before
seen either of the said persons, to-
wit, Warren K. Billings and Thomas
J. Mooney"
The police officer states that he
made diary entry of this incident,
which is a matter of record in the
Oakland police department. He show
ed this entry to District Attorney
Fickert, who prosecuted Mooney.
Fickert told Smith that he (Smith)
"would make a good witness for the
defense" and to forget the matter.
The value of Smiths affidavit can
be appreciated when it is recalled that
Mooney does not wear a mustache
and at the trial the Edeau woman
testified for the prosecution and pos
itively identified the defendants.

There is a man in Bozeman, Mont,
who will probably go throgh life be-
wailing the injustice of the draft
board that certified him for service,
despite the fact that he presented a
letter written by his wife to prove
that he had dependent family. Here
is the letter:
Dear United States Army: My
husband asst me to write a reckomend
that he supports his family. He can
not read so don't tell him. Just take
him. He amt no good to me. He
amt done nothing but play fiddle and
drink lemmen essence since l married
him, eight years ago, and l got to
feed seven kids of his. Maybe you
can get him to carry a gun. He's
good on squirrels and eatin'. Take
him and welcum. need the grub
and his bed for the kids. Don't tell
him this but take him."

ANCIENT LAW INVOKED BY
MONEYS LAWYER

When it was believed that every
legal action had been exhausted in
the defense of Thos. J. Mooney and
the cease was now in the hands of
Governor Stephens, MONEYS attor-
neys sprung a surprise by citing the
ancient English writ of "coram nobis"
(before us). This writ permits con-
victed persons to appeal to their
sovereign under the old English
custom, or common law, and could
protest any official fraud that might
have caused their conviction.
MONEYS attorneys cite this Gus
tom to support their claim that
courts have inherent power to set
aside a judgment secured through
fraud. The attorneys assure the
court that if it will support them
in this claim they will prove that the
prosecution used improper methods
in securing the conviction of their
client.
