A distressing accident occurred at the
Clayton station last evening, when
little Alfred Miller, the 1O-year-old
son of Joseph N. Miller, an engine
man, was run over by a train which
cut both legs off, one at the ankle
and the other at the knee. He IVES
hastened to the Delaware Hospital
but did not live through the night.
He was assisting in moving a truck
across the track when he was knocked
under the moving train. The Millers
had only been living in Clayton two
weeks. Much sympathy is expressed
over the affair. Funeral will take
place at 10 o'clock Saturday morning
and interment will be made at Har-
rington.

The flu ban has been removed from
public dancing, the moving picture
house and the general assembly OF
people. and 1t Is a very pleasant re-
lief from the drab monotony of the
nast several weeks during which the
town was totally deprived of all
amusements and entertainments. Not
only Is the change a pleasant one
from the fact that people can get to-
gether once more and enjoy them
selves, but more particular as it is
an indication that the dread ailment
that has caused so much suffering
and apprehension in the community
has about run it's course and further
spread Of the malady is considered
improbable.

Recently the Spokesman Review
published a list of names of men who
claimed exemption before the draft
boards of Spokane county on the
ground of being aliens, some even sur
rendering their first papers in order
to escape service in the American
army. Undoubtedly vast majority
of the draft boards of the country
had the same experience. Now that
the war is over the case Of all such
slackers should not be dropped and
forgotten. Congress should pass a
law deporting every single man who
surrendered his first papers to escape
the draft, or asked exemption on ac.
count of being an alien Nj such
men should i've sent back to he coun-
tries from which they cane. They
can never become American citizens,
no matter how long thew might live
in this country, for they have no
sympathy for the government or its
institutions. They are entitled to no
consideration. Coming to America
to better their condition, and better
ing their condition or they would not
have remained, they are not willing
to sever their allegiance from the
country of their nativity nor defend
the country in which they are gain
ing a livelihood when the country is
in danger Of destruction. Out upon
such contemplate class of people.
They are an undesirable and danger
GUS class. They are an element that
is a menace to republic and they
should be welded out root and branch.
And this government should go still
further in purifying the body polite
by including in the deportations every
man and woman who expressed dis
loyal sentiments during the war. II
there be such a monstrous specimen
of humanity as native born traitor
let him make choice of the country
he prefers outside the boundaries of
the United States and ship him there
with the admonition that II he return
his life is forfeited.

Canada, and by the word is en-
braced all of the provinces making
up the British possessions to the north
of us, was hit hard by the war. The
best manhood of that vast country
shed it's blood in the cause of democ-
racy, and the fields of Flanders are
sown thick with the dead of British
Columbia. No drawer troops than the
Canadians took part in that titanic
struggle, and their deeds will live in
song and story for ages to come
Thousands Of Canadians sprung to
arms at the outbreak of the war, and
for four years and a half the domin-
ion has poured out its blood without
stint. Every Canadian city. town ana

The announcement that the Domin-
ion government had purchased the
vast acreage in the Okanogan valley
north of Oroville for the purpose of
reclaiming the same by system of
irrigation and cutting up the land in
small tracts for returning soldiers
has attracted wide notice along the
border, is meeting with most favor
able mention and is hailed as one Of
the most noteworthy enterprises that
the powers that be on the other side
of the line have ever suggested. 1t
Is only those who are familiar with
the admirable location of this land,
its attractive surroundings and it's
possibilities under irrigation who can
fully appreciate the full significance
of this great reclamation scheme.
Those who have seen the transforma-
ton that water has worked in the
Penticton district and the district
around Oroville, where the lands now
irrigated adjoin the big tract across
the line, can fully understand what
the watering of this vast tract will
mean. The land is as fertile as any
in the north temperate zone, it is
protected by surrounding mountains
and is capable of supporting a large
population. The settling of the tract
will make homes for large number
of families, will add wealth to the
Dominion and will be an important
factor in the growth of Penticton at
the northern outlet and Oroville near
er at hand at the southern outlet. It
is enough of a good thing to divide
up and both towns are going to feel
the influence of the presence of so

TINY SHELLS REVEAL
 AGES OF ROCKS

The little jelly-like animals which the scientist calls foraminifera swarm so abundantly in the sea that their tiny cast-of shells in some places make up a considerable part of the sediments which are laid down on the sea bottom and which in time may become beds of rock in land area. The small size and the compactness of these shells protect them from some of the accidents that befall the remains of larger animals, so that in many samples of we'll borings the Foraminifera are the only shells that have survived in recognizable form the vicisssitudes of drilling. In the hands of specialists trained to ident;- fly fossils the Foraminifera may fur nish the only available clue to the age of the rock inclosing them and con sequently to the existence of strata or structure favorable or unfavorable to the accumulation of oil, gas, or water. Thus the "spectacled scien- tist," who may really look like an alert business man, becomes the help full adviser of the practical" oil geo. logist or the we'll driller. The United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, has recently issued report that may be of great value in the search for underground water, oil, and gas. This report, prepared by Joseph A. Cushman and issued as Survey Bulletin 676, contains descrip- tions of some species of Foraminifera from the Miocene and Pliocene forma- tions of the Coastal Plain of the Uni ted States and is abundantly illustrat- ed with figures, many times magni- fled, of these minute organisms.
 A copy of Bulletin 676, which is purely technical, may be obtained without cost by applying to the Dir ector of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.

HIGHWAYS OF TODAY
 AND TOMORROW

One hundred and ten millions of dollars to be spent on permanent roads in five years7-such is the allotment made by the states of Illinois and Pennsylvania in the recent elections, with similar sums likely to be voted soon by many of their sister states, says Harlan H. Edwards in an illus trated article in the April Popular Mechanics Magazine. Sixty millions was Illinois's share, to be paid en- tirely by automobile and motor-truck owners during the next 20 years with out resorting to general taxation. This is just one indication of the great interest in good roads aroused by the transportation needs during the great war just past. People are now awak- ening to the fact that the best invest ment they can make is in the con- struction of good roads, permanent roads, and roads wide enough to per init two automobiles or trucks to pass in safety. Along with this tremen. dous increase in popularity of good roads has come the development ot new and better types of pavement each singularly adapted to the vary. ing needs of heavy and light city anc country traffic. At Detroit, Mich., 2 new type of pavement particularly adapted for the use of automobiles has been developed. It is called rubber stone," and is a crushed limestone varying in size from kin. down tt dust, impregnated with deliquescent. or moisture-collecting and retaining chemicals. It is placed loose on thu road to thickness of in, and ther rolled to smooth, compact surface elastic, dustless, noiseless, and weed
 less, and easy to take up and replace when it is necessary to get at pipe! or wires beneath the pavement.
 With the adoption of efficient meth
 ods of construction and maintenanc, for all the roads soon to be built b! the large Federal appropriation fol interstate roads under the Fedora Aid Act, our roads of tomorrow should be of maximum value to everyone They will be built much wider ant stronger than many we have now, ane of the most durable materials, fol they will have to bear greatly in
 creased motor-truck traffic if tn, growth in use of such trucks in thu past few years is any criterion.
