DYNAMITE OUTRAGE IN
 DOUGLAS

A dynamite outrage was commit ted in Douglas, Jan. 4, presumably about 2:3O o'clock, when the boat house and launch, George M.," both the property of John McWil- Iiams, were blown to pieces on the beact near the COW barns in the northern part of Douglas, says the Douglas News.
 I've report of the explosion was hear3 by various people in Douglas but as 1t was in the direction of the Alaska7Juneau mine it was sup pBeI to have come from over there. McWilliams was at his home and did not know of his loss until the next morning. ...,
 AS evidence that heavy charge of dynamite had exploded, a DOT ton of the wreckage was hanging on 6 telephone wire several yards away from where the building was located. -. .rI i!'.
 John McWilliams Is one of the pioneer residents of Douglas, hay ing made this place his home for more than 20 years. He has no family and is over 60 years of age. He has aalways been a prospector and like the majority of his kind, has not accumulated much pro perty. He stated this morning:
 "The boat cost me nearly $1,5OO, and 1t was all I had in the world. am Eatisfied that the attack on me by the destruction of my property was the work of enemies, not par ticularly of myself, but of my cou.try. I am loyal and true Am erican and I know that have ex- pressed my feelings on several oc- cas'9l lately about the practices of alien enemies. Otherwise I do not know that have an enemy in the world. My boat was all I owned arS now that it has been wrecked, I am left without means of making a live lihcod."
 Public indignation runs high here today and people generally feel that, whsE an inoffensiVe and mild-man- uersl old man like John McWilliams is made the object of revenge, both the lives and property of others are in danger. :

suddenly the babiche leash slipped
from her fingers, and a strange light
leaped into her blue eyes as she saw
what stood at the end of that white tin
OF sand. 1t was Gray Wolf. Her blind
eyes were turned toward Kazan. AT

the canoe drifted farther and farther

raised her head to the sun which she

wailing cry for Kazan.
The canoe lurched. A tawny body
shot through the air-and Kazan was
gone.

face was white.

Red Cross Notes.

The Orofino Red Cross rooms all
day yesterday. Thursday. were piled
high with supplies ready to be put
in boxes and shipped to the Seattle
headquarters. And it was a real
joy to see this splendid lot of gar
ments and knitted articles which
the good. loyal women of our county
have, with loving hands, prepared
for our soldiers and sailors. And
the "Boche" babies of France and
belgium were not neglected. Mrs
Wiley, in charge of this depart
ment. showed the writer a great pils
of these infants outfits, each cost
ing from Sc to IS, and donated by
some woman. These outfits filled a
large box, and will be rushed over
the sea to the unfortunate little
ones born to outraged women by
German monsters. fiends incarnate.
These mothers-t OBJ cannot help
themselves; they are victims of the
German kaiser's kultur and superior
civilization these helpless little
creatures are not to blame-they ar
the victims of a militarism we are
lighting to destroy. And while our
country is giving up its sons to
fight this beast, our splendid wom-
en- are DONG all they can Tor these
war mothers and war babies.
The shipment today from Red
Cross headquarters contained three
boxes and to make up this were 10S
ambulance pillows. 200 suits of pa
jamas. 20 infants layettes.
Weippe sent in a box during the
week with seven pajamas, twelve
bed shirts. nine pairs bed socks, Is
pairs wool sox, SO surgeons wipes.
two helmets. one infants layette,
and one infants layette from the
Weippe High School.
The infants layette was made by
the girls of the Home Economics
class. They raised the funds and
have plenty to help with more refu-
gee garments.
A box containing 40 bed shirts
was received from Fraser this
month.

But kaZan lay cringing. not through
fear, but because he still recognized
the mastery Of man.
Henri shot the lynx. and when Kazan
understood this, he tore at the end of
his trap-chains and snarled at the
writhing body Of his forest enemy.
BY means Of pole and a babiche
moose, kazan was brought out from un-
der the windfall and taken to Henri's
cabin. The two men then returned
with a thick sack and more babiche,

the traps, was made prisoner. All the

worked to build stout cage OF sap

two prisoners were placed In 1t.
Before the dog was put in with Gray
Wolf, Weyman closely examined the
worn and tOOth-marked collar about

grayed the one word, "Kazan," and
with a strange thrill made note Of It
In his diary.

CHEERFUL HEART GOES FAR
Man with "Grouch" Is Seldom
Popular.

To keep the face cheerful, the voice
cheerful, to do good like medicine.
we must keep the heart cheerful.
This is not an easy matter. One does
not simply have to say: IL will be
cheerful" and then have 1t so. He
has to, work for cheerfulness, just as
he works to be honest or kind. or
brave, or learned. He must be looking
out for bright things to see and do.
He must deliberately, yet quickly.
choose which things he will think
about and how. He has to shut his
teeth, as 1t were, sometimes, and turn
away from the gloomy things, and do
something to bring back the cheerful
spirit again. If we are cheerful for
others, we are doing for ourselves.
Good given, means good sent back.
Cheerfulness can become a habit, and
habit sometimes helps us over hard
places. A cheerful heart seeth cheer
full things.-Exchange.

SCOUTS:
fConducted nv National Council Of the
SCOUT WORK NOT PARADING
cted by National COUNCIL OK
Boy Scouts of America.)

It isn't strange with the whole world
at war and millions of men training
ut gun-drills that some boys will get
the gun-drill fever. No doubt they
think they can help their country In
that way. Let's see about that, says
a scout official in answering a scout
who wants to drill with guns.
Uncle Sam has asked the boy scouts
to serve in the first, the second and
the third Liberty loan campaigns; he
has enlisted them as his dispatch bear
ers In the drive against Hun propa-
ganda In America; he has given them
big and important Job In boosting
the sale Of Thrift and War Savings
stamps; but as far as have heard he
hasn't asked single boy scout to put
a gun to his shoulder and drill.
Why hasn't Uncle Sam given guns
to his boys? Because he knows they
can be thousand times more helpful
In winning the war In other ways. The
youngster parading around with rifle
no doubt is >a) splendid fellow. and
eager to help; but In this particular
case he is on the wrong track.
The boy scout movement Is now, al
ways has been and always will be a
nonmilitaristic organization, and gun
drills do not have a place in ITS pro-
gram Of activities. The best military
experts In the country do not believe
In gun drills for boys of scout age.
And that is only one of the many rea-
sons why military gun drill and "tin
soldering" activities are not made a
part Of scouting. There's plenty of
other more necessary things to do for
'teen-age boys. When you are older
Uncle Sam will give you the real thing
In drill, under competent officers, and
you will be taught the use of the rifle
as technical weapon the purpose Of
which Is to kill. For the present, In
preparation, the government wants
boys to do other and more helpful and
practical things.
