Friends Of Mrs. w. II. Baker were
shocked yesterday at the news Of her
sudden death. While Mrs. Baker has
been not at all strong for the past
year. no concern was felt by her peo-
pie as to any immediate seriousness,
and her sudden demise comes as a
crushing blow to the husband and son.
Mrs. Baker had been about her house
and shortly before o'clock WAS taken
i'll, and at 1920 a. m. life passed out
Mr.. Baker, who is employed as night
watch at the Boise Payette Mill. and
their son, Merrill. n boy in High
school. were ut her bedside. The fam
lily have been residents Of Emmett
about four years, and when, because Of
her husbands failing health It became
necessary for her to assist financially,
she assumed her duties with cheer
fulness which endeared her to all with
whom she was associated. Her life
has been one Of continuous devotion TO
the husband who has been in i'll health
several years and to the son, and her
genuine christian character was re-
heeted in her untiring devotion to
duty. She was born near Chicago
FEB. q. 1872, thus lacking but day
Of being AZ years Of age. Beside the
husband and son. three sisters survive,
all Of whom have been heard from, but
the distance Of their locations prevents
any Of them from attending at this
time. A funeral service will be held

AVIATOR THINKS ARCTIC
EXPLORATION BY AIR is
SURE TO BE SUCCESSFUL

St. Louis, No. Jan. o.-Maj
Henry Abbey commandant OF
Scott aviation field, near BclIcyIlle,

Arctic regions in airplanes, as plan
ned by the Aero Club OF America,
can be successfully carried out.
Aviators are now flying 900 miles
without a stop and are remaining
in the air eight and nine hours
without relief, he pointed out adj
ding that a trip of 600 miles in the
Arctic would be no barrier.
He declared that temperature
would not be a great obstacle. In
ycstigaton has shown that there
is a mean temperature at an alti-
tudc of 10000 to 25,00O feet all
around the earth, with little yaria-
ton, he said.
"The greatest problem, to my
mind, in making an Arctic eXpcdi-
