Boiling Points Tell the Story

Boiling points determine the vaporizing and
conclusive qualities of gasoline. They decide
the action of the gas developed from gasoline.
They are the. only true measure of gasoline
value.
An ideal gasoline has boiling points in con-
tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too
many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in

storage by evaporation would be great There
must be just enough low boiling points to va
porize freely and give easy starting. The higher
boiling points are necessary for quick accelera-
ton, high power and long mileage. 81
AS combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the gas, the con-
tinuous chain of boiling points from the low
to the high - is necessary for instantaneous,
ull-powered combustion. Only straight-dis-
titled, all-refnery gasoline can have the contin-
lous, uniform chain Of boiling points.

would be in the hands of government agents

government, the educational authorities of
course working with these so far as the mat
ter of attendance is concerned.
A system of immigration inspection
might have to be inaugurated-traveling in
spectors to coordinate the work or see that
it runs well.
Of course there would be additional ex-
pense, perhaps thoroughly overhauled and
enlarged immigration Bureau, and new ma
chinery. But when one thinks of the mil
lions and billions that the immigrants have
created for our country in the past, and
when one realizes that Fundamentally new
immigration is now as necessary to the
growth of our Republic as any other element
that makes for it's growth, the cost of immi-
grafton machinery will not be worthy of
mention, when compared with the wealth
that immigration "by probation" will Gre
ate and add to our total.

DID JESUS LIVE?

In our issue of November 18th, we publish
ed a cartoon by Mr.. Rosen, in which the
Jews are shown as the lamp of the world"
The lamp is shown as giving forth rays of
light, and on one side of these are the Ten
Commandments, and on the other, the
names of the prophets and also that of Je-
sus. A reader writes us about this cartoon,
and says: ut is my understanding that
Christian scholars admit that the whole
Christ story is myth Do you subscribe to
the belief that it is a truth? 1t would be
very interesting to me to have your interpre-
tation of this sketch, and the good you hope
to accomplish through its publication"
Let us answer the first question now.
The second part is being dealt with in our
Chanukah editorial.
The greatest Christian scholars, as well
as the greatest Jewish authorities on the
subject no longer doubt the fact that a
Jesus of the early New Testament writings
existed. The theory that the Jesus of the
New Testament is composite of ideas
about mythical Saviour, and that the in
dividual of that name was woven out of
these different ideas, is harder to believe
than the theory of the historicity of Jesus.
The school of Drews, Smith, and their fol-
lowers is now practically bankrupt. In
America, men like DR.. Kohler of the Hebrew
Union College, who is the greatest Ameri-
can Jewish authority on the New Tesla
ment; in Europe men like Gerald Friedlan-
er of England, and Prof. Friedlander of vi
emma; men like Burton, Case, Moore, Toy
and Matthews in America, and Smith, Mon
tefiore, Moffat, in England Bousset,
Wernle, Weiss, Scharer. Harnack Of Germany
and these various names include the greatest New
Testament scholars of the world-these all accept
the existence Of the Jesus Of the synoptic gospels
Matthew, Mark and Luke.
distinction ought TO be drawn between the Je-
of these gospels and the "Christ" Of the letters
Of Paul. II is the Christ" of Paul with which Jew
ish scholarship has nothing TO do, and with which
liberal Christian scholarship has little 10 do rs

certain ages determined by Congress-
ought to be made to attend school two and
better, three nights week. This of course
presupposes good deal of new machinery
and good deal of trouble. But we need the
immigrants they need to be made
Americans-and all of this trouble and
change will not be nearly as complex as will
be the establishment of machinery to take
care of the prohibition violations-and to
our way of thinking, the former it will be
worth great deal more to our country than
the latter.
The local school authorities will become
responsible for the education of the immi-
grants, and they, working in conjunction
with the agents of the United States govern
ment, will train our immigrants to become
Americans through education and surround
ings. Through the Departments of Educa-
ton, we can keep "tab" on those who come
here, and through government agents we
can find out soon enough who are anarchists
and who are not. 1t was the lack of educa-
ton that permitted our immigrants in the
past to herd together, often at the expense
of getting that American training and point
of view, which we feel they should have. 1t
was this lack of education which made
otherwise most acceptable immigrants dis
satisfied, and made them an easy prey for
l. w. WIS, Bolsheviks, and radical labor
leaders. 1t is this lack of education which is
so dangerous factor in our elections-and
all of this could be remedied if education,
as well as character and time, were made
conditions of obtaining citizenship.
In the next place, after the immigrant had
made creditable record industrialy and
educationally, for three years, he could file
his declaration. His first period of proba-
ton would then have passed. He would re-
ceive at this juncture another registration
card, which would supercede the one he re-
ceived on landing and this he would hold
until he received his citizenship papers, five
years later.
Of course this plan is a departure from
our former very unsatisfactory policy with
regard to immigrants. But it is plan which
will combine one of the hottest traditions of
our land-for we always ought to be an
asylum for the prosecuted and oppressed
with practicable plan for keeping from our
land, those who are unwilling to make the
proper sacrifices to become Americans,
or those who during the period of their pro-
baton, are found unworthy.
The work of education will be in the hands
of our public school authorities, where the
process of Americanization rightly belongs,
1t is no idle statement to make that our pub
lie schools are the bulwark of our liberty
and there the immigrant should be trained

A.
"OUR ILLS"

on the question of "Our Ills," in which a
return to the policy of immigration was adj
vocated. We spoke however, of immigra-
ton ION probation" We have received
a number of favorable comments on the
editorial, but one contributor, asks that we
explain what we meant by immigration ION
probation"
We are glad to do so. We do not know
that the idea is original with us, and we are
sure that some kind of immigration proba-
ton" has been discussed recently. But the
plan that we think best is about as follows:
In the first place, immigrants must be
vouched for as to character by friends or
relatives here, whose records are absolutely
spotless. We prefer this plan to that of the
immigrants having to have passport from
his native land because of the great diff
Guilty in procuring especially by Jews
and because of the bribery, which enables
any one but Jew, to get passport, no
matter who he is. Moreover, when an i'm
migrant has been here and has made sue
cessful American, there is no reason why
his recommendation should not be accepted
In the second place, we ought to have reg
istration of immigrants. We ought to know
not only where they come FROM but where
they are going, and what they are going to
do. We have had such system of regis
tration but it has been used only for Stats
tical purposes. The place to which an immi-
grant goes, is not always his goal. Under
probation" it is the latter that is import
ant, not the former To illustrate: Any i'm
migrant may land in New York, and 60 to
Galveston, to visit an uncle. But from there
he goes out to West Texas to work. 1t is
the latter place in which we ought to be in
terested, not the former.
In the third place, after record is made
of the landing of the immigrant and the
place where he expects to live, registration
card should be given to him, a card similar
to that which many of the younger men car
ry and which is an evidence that they con-
formed to an important act that was neces-
sary to be executed in time of war. There
are just as great necessities in time of peace,
and we already have had sample of what
we can do.
The next step in Immigrant probation"
is very important one-a sort of liason be-
tween the immigration and educational de-
partments of our country. This step is bas-
ed upon the fact that Americanization for
the foreigner is basic upon education. An
immigrant must be educated in the tongue
which is ours before he can appreciate or
even understand what Americanism is-be-
fore he can become an American, or before
he ought to be permitted to become an
American. It is almost tragical to have
granted citizenship to hundreds of thous-
ands who have not the slightest idea what
we mean when we speak of the sacred docu-
ments around which the fabric of our gov

upon the efficient manner in which

slst in perfecting an organization that
gives every promise of proving of
great benefit to the greatest industry
of northern Okanogan county. Those
who are taking an active part in this
movement have the best interest of
the farmer and grower at heart, and

A TRAM EXPERT.

J. w. Mcleod, of Seattle, stopped
over in Oroville Sunday on his way to
the Copper World Extension, where
he will take hand in the installation
of the tram that Is being constructed
by the Dempsters from the mine near
the summit of Palmer mountain, to
the county road on the shore of Pal
mer lake Mr.. Mcleod is experienced in
this line of construction. This not the
first tram he has had hand in build
ing in this country. He assisted in put
ting up the tram at the Grand View
mine, which, by the way, was built
along the cost slope Of Mount Chopaka
almost directly opposite and across
Palmer lake from the Copper World
Extension tram a coincident that we
devOutly hope will not be followed by
the same farcial res lit that marked
the completion of the Grand View
tram. For be 1t known, that mill had
been erected at the south end of the
lake to treat the Grand View ore; that
the tram was used just long enough to
convey enough rock down off the hill
to fill the bins of that mill; that after
the bins were filled those in charge of
the mill never turned on power nor
turned a wheel of the plant. After all
that expenditure of money the mill was
not operated long enough to make a
test run. The operat 'rs, or those who
were expected to do the operating,
threw up their hands. abandoned the
mine and plant, left the country and
never returned. 1t was like a clap of
thunder out Of cloar sky to the peo-
pie of Loomis. and so far as we have
ever been able to learn there was
never an explanation for the erratic
action. Mr.. Mcleod has never been in
this part Of the state since equipping
the Grand View with tram, and that
was at period pretty well back in
the heretofore.

SHOCKING MURDER.

For week Of more Seattle has been
all agog over the most sensational
murder that has been committed in
that city for years, and murders are
not uncommon in Seattle. Okanogar,
county is drawn into the unsavory
mess because unfortunately, one of
the cast in the tragedy resides at the
county seat. It Is a story of Q woman s
frailty, OF mans indifference to the
nuptual ties, in one of those triangle
femily episodes. altogether too COM
mon in this day and age, in which in
latuation. misscalled love. Is respon-
sible for the death Of one Of the actors.
Miss Ruth Garrison. a prepossessing
young woman Of Is years, played the
role of Lucrezia Borgia. The victim
was Mrs. Grace Glatz Storrs, wife of
Dudley M. Storrs. of Okanogan. The
scene Of the tragedy the tea room of
one OF the largest department stores
Of Seattle.
Ruth Garrison fell in love, or be-
came enamored of, the husband of
Mrs. Storrs. While the wife remained
in Seattle the Garrison woman visited
Storrs at Okanogan, where she passed
as his wife. So infatuated had Miss
Garrison become with Storrs that she
decided to put the wife of the, man she
wanted out Of the way. Tuesday of last
week Miss Garrison invited Mrs.
Storrs to take lunch with her at the
department store tea room. Miss Gar
risOn went to the tea room shortly
before the hour set for the luncheon,
ordered the viands and put strychnine
in the portion Of the salad served to
Mrs. Storrs. 1t was a raw, coarse, bru-
tai, heartless method of eliminating
rival, ard so boldly and badly carried
out that escape from detection was
impossible. Mrs. Storrs partook of the
salad, Immediately went into convul
sions and speedily died in ali the ag-
'ony that accompanies strychnine pois-
oning. The sufferings of her victim
and her death that followed did not
seem In the least to affect this murder
ess of tender years. She showed no
signs Of sorrow, contrition or regret
1t the time. and has displayed none
since her arrest and Incarceration. She
seems t. have no realization of the
enormity Of her crime. Lost to every
gentle and refined attribute generally
attributed to young womanhood the
beautiful fiend can be classed as one
OF the most cold-blooded and heartless
criminals that has ever como within
the knowledge OF the codrts OF this
state.
1t has not as yet been established
as to whether the husband was par
ty to the murder, directly or indirectly
but the fact that he accepted the atteh
tions of the girl, that ne encouraged
her in her unholy passion, that lls n.g-
lected his legal helpmate and gave out
the impression that the murdere
was his lawful wife, should be suffi-
cient to entite him to share the punish
ment that must be meted out to his
vicious paramour.

HAS DECIDED TO STAY.

DOOley P. Wheeler who has made the
Bonnycroft orchard tract famous on
account of the quality anu quantity Of
the fruit and vegetables marketed
therefrom is not going to sell out as
reported in this paper some weeks ago
Whether it was renewed ambition or
chilled feet deponeth saith not. When
Mr.. Wheeler advertised his place for
sale he stated that his health had been
impaired by close application to work
and the heavy labor required on the
place, and the reason for selling was
to secure rest. At the time he de-
clared it was not his intention to
leave this locality, for he knew of no
pace where the land would respond
so literally to the exertion of man, as
right here in the valley and should he
sell he would acquire another piece of
land. 1t was just possible that he was
laboring under the delusion that it
would be Difficult. to dispose of an or
chard tract of real merit, and desir-
ed to ascertain if there was a market
for such property. He was surprised
to find that there we've buyers looking
out for such places, buyers with the
cash to plunk down on the head, for
he was offered his plice in hard coin
of the realm, or the equivalent of hard
cash. That apparently opened his eyes
and he realized that he possessed a
property of value Anyhow, it is a
pleasure to report thet Mr.. Wheeler
will continue to preside over the des-
tiny of Bonnycroft. He proposes to
invest in number of high grade
milch cows, for which he has ample
ground to grow feed, get into the dairy
game, and ther ,by be assured of a reg
ular monthly pay check, via the local
creamery, which he figures out will
very materially aid in shooing the coy-
ote from the back door Good for Mr..
Wheeler. He has the proper hunch to
stay with his orchard and has taken
up sure line that every land owner in
the valley could adopt with profit to
himself.
