TRANSIT AND SCOW
CARRIED OUT TO SEA

Last Friday evening the launch
Transit took scow load Of slab wood
from Elk City to Newport. While
making arrangements to tie the scow
to the wharf at Newport, the rope in
some manner became foul of the
launchs propeller, and the strong out
going tide swept the launch and scow
out toward the bar. The men on the
boat blew their whistle for assistance.
Before the lifesaving crew could re-
spond, Capt. Copeland had rescued
them with his launch, Fearless" but
was unable to do anything with the
Transit and its tow, they being swept
out to sea. The night was a calm
moonlight night, and the transit and
scow rode out over the bar in file
shape, and in the night the lifesaving
crew went out in their power boat
after the Transit, whose lights could
be seen burning. The Transit was
picked up about five miles southwest
Of the harbor entrance; and towed into
port. 1t had broken loose from the
scow and was riding the swells In
great style. 1t was undamaged witk
the exception Of a broken window
The scow was too large for any Of
the local boats to handle In crossing
the bar, and was of necessity, allowed
to drift away. 1t was a large new
scow, size 20 by 60 feet, and cost
$1,000 to build.
The Transit and scow are the prop
erty of Leland Wakefield and Herman
Schmidt Of Elk City.

The ingenious explanation that they

dant on the early New Zealand market
stamps the native Haoris rs race
with working brains, and their ply
siQues have long been praised. 1t Is
not surprising, therefore, that, as .
correspondent records. these aboris-
inals are among the few In modern
times who, instead of promptly vanish
Ing. will doubtless be absorbed into the
white mans family.
Fifty thousand pure-bred Maoris still
remain, half Of whom are practically
civilized. Many have attained to high
political position. There are four Mao
RI members In the house Of representa-
tives. two In the legislative council
and one Is an important minister In the
executive council.

East Indian blood, these natives, be II
added, are not strictly aboriginals.

POWER LINE TO vPONT

The Idaho Power Company will
begin at once the construction of q
power line to vipont This will give
employment to so or so men for q
month or longer.
A telephone line will also be built
from Oakley to vipont. This will be
great convenience to our thriving
neighbor in the mountains.
1t is estimated that 1t will be a
great deal cheaper for Vipont to get
power over the nev line than to
manufacture its own juice, as at
present The expense of hauling oil
and other supplies to the mine is ex-
tremely heavy.
The new power line can be tapped
by the three other mines in the VI
pont district to supply their needs
The old town il coming right
along. With all these developments
around us, In a few years Oakley
will be the metropolis OF Cassia

SKORO CONSOLIDATED MAKES
GOOD STRIKE

Ore which assays at $5B4.15 per
ton has been struck at the Skoro
mine. The sample showed 567.35
ounces OF silver and "a ounce OF
gold to the ton.
This remarkable strike was made
at the bottom of forty-foot shaft.
The tunnel is now in 430 feet.
Judging from the slope OF the vein,
the tunnel should strike the high
grade ore in the next fifty or sixty
feet.
The Skoro Consolidated people
are feeling happy over the pros

WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT JOIN
THE RED CROSS

Do you belong to any sect or or
ganization which, by its creed, for
bids you to help another or to assist
In = movement designated for the
help of others7
Then the call Is not meant for
you.
Do you believe that health - a
matter Of no importance Whatsoever
and that every enterprising COM
munity should have policemen, .fre-
men, jails. theatres, skyscrapers,
churches and schools, but no hospi-
tails, no doctors, no nurses, no sani-
tation, no clinics, no provision for
the prevention of disease and the re-
lief OF suffering.
Then don't join the Red Cross.
II 1t is your opinion that when CT
ty Ia swept by fire or inundated by
food. when its families are made
homeless, its men killed or MANNED,
its women and children brought to
starvation and thirst, they should
be left to their own resources and
should have no organization on
which they can call for salvation?
Then you do not believe in the
Red Cross and should not Join.
Are you SO blind to misery, 30 deaf
to pain, so hardened to pity, SO proof
to all feeling for your fellow men,
that you do not care dollars worth
what becomes OF everybody else in
the world?
Then don't join. The Red Cross
can get along without you.
Only remember-should the time
ever come when you yourself suffer,
when your eyes are wet with tears,
when your own face is contracted
with agony, when your hands are
uplifted in supplication for succor.
your refusal won't matter.
The Red Cross will help you---just
the same

mon less than half were smokers.
During the week OF the hike, the
guide made note of the fact that al

the guide had been comparing the
ability OF the two groups, until an
exceptionally strenuous hike was to
be made over the rough mountains
The men were informed by the guide
that, in his opinion, the smokers
would not be able to endure with the
nOn-smokers.
The smokers took this as 6
challenge of their physical manhood
But at the end of the days hike, til.
