Ankeny, Ia, Feb. 2S.--Wilhs
Wheeler, a pupil in the AnkeHy

and shattered ankle, received from
protecting his teacher. Miss Vio-
letto NJ Voltz, from serious injury,
if not death, recently.
Ankeny boys and girls use Pack
Creek hill nearby for coasting. One
night Miss Voltz ieined the children
and sat on the back end of the sleds
behind her pupils, While coasting
with Willie Wheeler she fell off the
sled,< unconscious. about half way
down the slope. The boy stopped as
quickly as possible, ran to her and
when she did not get up or answer
him he called to the other boys to
stop sliding and help "get teacher
up"
Heavy Sled on Way.
The lads cries were not heard.
and a heavy Nsled started down the
hill. Unable to get his teacher out
of the way he jumped between her
and the swiftly approaching sled. II
struck him just above the ankle,
swapping the leg bone and shatter-
ing the ankle itself. The momentum
of the sled was stopped, and it did
not strike Miss Voltz. A second
sled with two boys ran into the
first. The two boys on it were
knocked unconscious, and while the
sled struck Miss Voltz it did not
injure her.
All in the accident have recovered
but the Wheeler boy. He is hero
to his scheolmates and teacher.

"A storage battery is chemical
apparatus, consisting of positive and

electro-chemical action takes place

new SPECIES Of
ORCHID FOUND BY
U. S. ROTAN|sTs
Five Years Of Careful Nutur.
ing at Missouri Botanical
Garden Produces Won
derfuI Blossom.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Feb. ga new
orchid which required FIVE years OF
the careful nurturing that is required
by all orchids to create and bring to
flower, is in bloom at the Missouri
Botanical gardens here.
The parents of this orchid were
crossed in February, 1915, the seed
was ripened and planted in October
Of that year and the bloom has just
appeared.
- Named After Gardener.
4 II has feen named the D. S.
Brown orchid in honor of the late
d. S. Brown of Kirkwood,, Mo-, who
gave to the garden collection of
orchid plants valued at least $780,
600, and which brought the orchid
collection at the garden to rank as
the best in America.
According to George H. Pring,
llorticulturist of the garden, the his
tory of this orchid demonstrates
why the orchid will soon be placed
beyond the reach of milady who
now coyets it for her corsage.
U. S. Prohibits Import.
Mr.. Pring says: "The government
recently has prohibited the importa-
ton of orchid plants because Of the
belief that certain injurious insects
are brought in with the plants, which
come from the tropics. You have
seen how tedious is the development
of orchid plants from seed. The re-
suit is that the florist, who now
grows the cattleya or gorgeous COM
mercial orchid cannot. hope to per-
petuate the flower. Those that he
does raise soon will disappear un-
less the bap on importation is. lifted
1t requires eight years to grow a
cattleya to point where its flower
has commercial value. And the life
of the ordinary plant after blossom-
ing is but five years, with solitary
blossom each year"
The new orchid is of the lady slip
per variety, its parents being from
the Brown collection. Its parents
where chocolate brown, but it re-
verted to the color of one of its
grandparents and is yellow, with a
light pink upper sepal. 1t is larger
than the flower of either of its pa
rents and even so, has not yet reach
ed its full growth, which will come
after second or third blooming.

Important Announcement Concerning Plans for De- velOpment of We'll Known Property.

On his return from the south, Roy Clothier brought the good news that the Indian Mines Ltd. company is on a sourd financial footing and will start work on their property as soon as they can get in supplies.
 The Indian is one of the first locations on Salmon river and has been developed to point where it may be truthfully called a mine. With the resumption of work, shipping ore can be extracted from the start, and before fall this pro- perty should be one of the big factors in ore tonnage of the camp.
 The property was stocked during the Bear river boom and the com pany has been kept intact. Now that there is a general movement of mine development and ore extraction they are in position to join in the process ion. Mir. Clothier is going out to Van couver and Victoria again next week on business in connection with this pro- perty. He says there will be no delay in getting active operations started.

.aINERS BACKED
 BY MEETING

That the trouble at the Premier has developed into strike is evidenced by the fact that the men affected have called for strike funds to enable them to carry on until other employment can be secured This was done on the rec ommendation the men who came up from Prince Rupert to go to work but who refused to do so when the niue management failed to carry out the terms of the agreement under which they came here.
 There were no new developments in the situation during the week The men who came from Rupert are making some talk of seeking legal redress for the time lost, but this is something for future consideration after conference with the officials of the union who sent them up here and signed the agree ment.
 Tuesday afternoon a public meeting was called in Hyder for the purpose of acquainting the citizens with the men's position. The meeting was held in the Willard builG ng, and was attended by between 75 and 100 citizens and strik- CTS. JIG. Callahan acted as chairman, and A. w. Robinson as secretary. The latter went fully into the history of the trouble, and stated however that the principal reason for calling the meeting was that reports were in circulation to the effect that the men were bunch of I.W.W' s and Bolshevists and they wished to publicly put stop to such canards. The men, he said, were anx- ous to work. But they are union men and cannot violate their union princi- pies bv acting as strike breakers. The demand that competent cook be em ployed at the mine, he said, is reason able one. They do not demand that the Chinese cook be discharged from the employ of the company, but that another cook be employed in his place.

MOVES CLAIMS
 ACROSS BORDER

We don't want boosting, but we do want the people on the outside to know the facts concernidg the Hyder and Salmon river district"
 With the above quotation the Ketch- ikan Times closes an alleged interview with Pat Benson, who recently passed through Ketchikan on his way south.
 The whole story-none of it was quot ed except the above paragraph-was run through the Miners separator and the quotation was the only part that was saved except the statement that the Alaska mineral area needs prospec- ting and development. The statement that Pats White Mouse group and Bill Murphy's War Eagle group are on the Alasoa side went into the discard since they are at least eight miles by an air line and thirteen miles by trail from the Alaska border and on the Canadian side. The rest of the story isn't worth noticing.
 However, when Pat returns to camp and the oldtimers shake their fingers at him, he can blame the reporter.

George w. Nelson Writes of Plans to Provide This Town With Necessary Utilities.

Writing from Seattle Geo. w. Nell son, whose interests in this district are many and varied, says in part:
 am not at all surprised to learn that the town of HYder is prosperous dur ing the winter months, as the citizens you have there today are peop'e who would not lie down for few feet of snow or any drawback that Nature might cause.
 Referring to the Hyder Water, Light and Power Company, I am pleased to state that the company is organized and fully financed to put in the water. light and power system of the town next spring and charge a reasonable rate therefor. My engineer is today laying out the plans and doing other necessary work in connection with the enterprise. hope to have the pipe for the installation of the water system on the ground not later than May or the first part of June.
 There is a lot of talk about Hyder in this town and throughout the state of Washington, and would not be a bit lot of good people going up to that country with view of idvesting, pro viked however, that the owners of prop erty, both mining and real estate. do not go above the average price of prop erty in new and undeveloped districts

 The fire was caused by piece of can- vas hanging too close to the stove. Frank had turned in without taking the trouble to remove his neither garments, otherwise he would have been forced to wade through the snow robed only in his surging thoughts, as the. clothes he wore were the only things he aaved from the house. He crawled into the cabin twice to try and save his coat, which contained roll of Canadian bills but blistered hands we his only re ward.
