Commits Suicide While Visiting at Rice

(according to a statement made by
the eldest child) he reached up 10
the gun rack over the door, took
down the rifle, and without a
moments hesitation placed the
muzzle of the weapon against lis
temple and fired. Sheriff w. IL
Graham was at once notified. Mr.
Graham Immediately detailed W. l..
Biggar to investigate as to the neces-
sity of an inquest, and when word
came back that it was clear case of
suicide, Quinn w. McCord went with
an ambulance to the scene and
brought the body to Colville. d..
w. Farance, father of the deceased,
arrived from Pomeroy Wednesday and
took the body there for. burial. Mrs.
Farance, who was with her husband
at the Hanson home at the time Of
the tragedy, believes, it is said, that
her husband was not in his right
condition of mind.

Miss Julia f.. Morrow, on furlough
from missionary work in India, gave
an address at the M. f. church Sun
day morning, covering number of
interesting points in relation to her
work Her appearance was under
the auspices of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society. Miss Morrow
came with her parents from Califor-
MIA to Washington in 1886 and the
family located on a ranch on Mill
creek. She attended country school
until finishing the, grades and then
attended Eells Academy in Colvillc
for three years. For three years
she taught school in the country, and
after the death of her parents she
went to Troy, New York, and took
the course in nursing in Leonard
hospital, also graduating in the
Chautauqua course in nursing She
served in Deaconess work for two
years in Newark, N. j., and spent
six years in the city rescue work.
During three years of this time she
was corresponding secretary of the
International Purity Federation. In
1918 she went as missionary under
the w. F. M. board of the M L.
church to Kolar Town, South India.
For 18 months she was in charge of
the boarding school for girls, and
later was stationed in the Bidar area.
She returned to America in time to
attend the jubilee in Boston cele-
brating the fifty-years work of the
w. F. M. S. Miss Morrow expects
to return to India next fall. She
will spend part of the summer in
the Columbia River branch, stimulat-
ing interest in missionary work.

Burton William Farance, aged "a
years and a resident of Pomeroy,
Garfield county, while visiting at the
home of his brother-in-law Charles
Hanson, who lives two miles south
east of Rice, committed suicide Tues
day afternoon by shooting himself
through the head with % rife.
According to accounts of the affair
reported to the officers, Farance and
his wife came to Colville about a
week ago to visit at the Hanson home.
After dinner on Tuesday, Farance
commenced talking about going away,
leaving the impression that he was
intending to return home to Pomeroy.
At @vo o'clock, after making few
preliminary preparations for the
journey, he kissed his wife goodby,
then went into an adjoining room
where, after taking similar leave OF

Cascade mountains.
Another distinction that Sawmill,
Probell or Pingston creek has: A
few hundred yards above the Pro-
bell ranch is the site of the first
water-power and saw-mill built and
used north of California. The roof
boards used in the building of the
old Hudson Bay Company's Fort Col
vile in 1926 were mill sawed as shown
by those used the second time for
sheeting when the buildings were
repaired in 1862. These roof boards
were 10A inches wide, l 1/16 inches
thick, grooved 19x1a inch, l inch
from each edge, and length to cover
the run of the roof. This note is
Just to make record of this item.
Z An item we believe worth record
ing is: We saw when at the Smith
ranch in 1877 peach trees one
year from the seed that were in
bloom, and the same slips were re-
ported to have borne some fine fruit
that season. There were about 80
of the young trees and nearly 20
bloomed.-Yours truly, j. A. Meyers.
Editors Note-Mr. Meyers spell
ing of Colvile is correct, coming
from the name Andrew Colvile of
London, deputy governor of the Hud-
son Bay company. The use of the
'1l" in Colville was not started
until the United States Fort Colville
was built on the site northeast of
the present city of Colville.

been done to run the United States
government for a month, somebody
goes after an adding machine; and

will be demonstrated just who is to

All, that diploma! If only the

he could hear them begging that

The story can be told swiftly. By
massacre, deportation, confiscation,
and other methods of persecution,
the Turks have tried to annihilate
the non-Turkish population of West
ern Asia.
1t is estimated that of the sur
vivors, 100000 Armenians, Syrians,
Jews, Greeks and Persians are desti-
tute. Of this number 100000 are
orphans.
To say merely that they are des-
titute is not enough. Except where
help from the outside has reached
them, they are dying by hundreds
every day of starvation and disease.
They have no homes and no clothing.
They exist in novels and caves. They
have to fight for single grains of
wheat; they scramble for refuse to

enough time off to eat an occasional

and they are so desperate-some of
them-that they have dug human
bodies from the graves and eaten
them. Nowhere in history is there
record of human suffering on such
scale. In some districts famine and
disease have literally obliberated
whole villages, no one being left to
bury the dead
Hoover says: "In my opinion the
situation in the Near East is the
most desperate in the world" A
committee consisting of such men as
William H. Taft, Henry Morgenthau,
Herbert Hoover, Charles E. Hughes,
Elihu Root and Cleveland H. Dodge
has been appointed to handle the
problem.
Near East Relief has been granted
a charter by congress-one of the
few ever granted for service of this
kind.
Great Men Speak
Woodrow Wilson, Suffering and
death from exposure and starvation
will inevitably be much greater this
winter than last unless the survivors
can be helped by contributions from
America. In view of the urgent need
l call again upon the people of the
United States to make such further
contributions as they feel disposed in
their sympathy and generosity, for
the aid Of suffering peoples"
William H. Taft: 81 sincerely hope
that in the inevitable reaction from
the generous and sacriicial spirit
which our people manifested during
the war the poor people of Armenia
will not suffer, and that your most
worthy appeal for further assistance
to carry the Armenians through until
next harvest may find a satisfactory
and ready response"
Col. William N. Haskill, of L. S.
Army, high commissioner to eau
casus: "Believe the situation in eau
casus worst in world. Suffering un-
believable. There 100000 people de-
pendent on America who would starve
if it were withdrawn"
Herbert Hoover: 81 cannot too
strongly urge the critical necessity
of concentrating every possible effort
to support Col. Haskells administra-
tion in the amounts he requires:
otherwise we shall witness one of the
greatest tragedies of the war"
William Jennings Bryan: "The
sufferings of the Armenians and
others in the Near East appeal with
special force to the people of the
United States. The response should
be prompt and generous"
Josephus Daniels: "In the face of
calamity the like of which never
fell upon the world before, we are
moved to a new conservation to the
spirit of service and sacrifice. Sen
timents, backed by religion, must
dominate not only approved private
philanthrophy but public policy as
well, to the end that the age-old
persecution in Armenia shall never
curse the world again"
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of
Baltimore: 81 cannot urge too
strongly the duty Of immediate re-
lief. 1t is duty that rests upon
every Christian people, and our own
country can not fail to recognize and
heed it. AT time then of crisis,
