SECRET SERVICE is ON
HIGHER PLANE, SAYS ELLIS

"The private detective business is
undergoing a speedy change for the
better and because Of this the need
for private secret service agents is
becoming more pronounced in stabil-
izing individual business careers,
safeguarding character and dealing
successfully with the numerous
criminal, industrial and civil situa-
tions," according to Leonard N. Ellis,
operating director for the Northwest
ern Intelligence Bureau, Spokane.
when / became associated with
the private sleuth game, as the bust
ness was generally known Is years
ago, the average detective agency
consisted of two rooms-a combina-
tion consultation and general office
room, placarded with riotous wall
bulletins and photos Of darl-looking
murderers, thieves and yeggmen and
on the desk were to be found an as
sortment Of heavy revolvers, hand
cuffs and blackjacks
In a glass case conveniently by
and for the inspection of prospective
clients, was often found a collection
of knives, lead pipes and other weap-
ons of destruction to have been used
by famous characters in dealing with
victims.

ORCHARD NEAR
KIRKLAND is ONE OF
STATES INDUSTRIES

Blasting life into holly berries is a
far cry to Christmas wreaths, but this
very thing takes place at the great
holly orchard near Kirkland, Wash
ington, owned by Edward P. Tremper
Of Seattle. Few people in the Pacific
Northwest realize that such an indus
try as a holly orchard exists. Holly
trees usually are associated with a
few individual specimens in nurseries
or formal gardens. But at kirkland
the only orchard in the United States
consisting entirely Of holly trees is
maintained.
In that orchard more than 1000
holly trees are growing. But although
Western Washington soil and climate
are almost ideal for the growing of
holly trees, Mr.. Tremper found in 1921
that some Of his trees were not max
ing the growth they should. Some Of
the trees had begun to show scraggy
tops and others had stopped growing.
Beside these sickly specimens were
strong, sturdy trees.
IO o1oCONCl IL pUSSlU10 Cu6 T6dSOu
for this condition and to provide a
remedy, Mr.. Tremper called in an ex-
plosive expert-a man who had made
a speciality of tree-doctoring- George
E. Willman, who for the last "a years
has been in the employ of the e. l. du
Pont de Nemours & Co. as an expert
in the use of explosives for all pur-
poses.
Mr.. Whitman looked over the holly
orchard and prescribed blasting to re-
vive the dying trees. His method was
to send down two-inch driving bar
to depth of three and half feet,
four feet distant from the trunk of
the tree to be treated. What is known
as 20 per cent blasting powder was
used in these holes.
Two charges, one on each side Of
the tree, were used. Very little change
was noted in the trees appearance
the first wear. Mr.. Tremper said, but
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-03-07

during the second year and since an
all-round healthier appearance has
been marked. Today Mr.. Tremper
says the sickly trees cannot be told
from those that have been sturdy at
all times. He explains that the blast
ing leosened the under soil 80 that
the roots of the trees coud get down
into the moisture and obtain nourish-
ment.
The trees were literally blasted into
health, said Mr.. Tremper, and today
are strong, healthy hollies, making re-
markable growth.

mont and buildings to be launched in
May by Whitman College, "the sing
ing college Of the Pacific" is plan

mans first glee club was organized
IS years ago. Since that time the col
lege has become known throughout
the West for the quality Of singers.
The 1924 Glee Club is a distinct in
novatim, for instead of establishing
the customary separate musical or
ganizations for the men and women,
the college has selected the finest
voices from both groups and organ

PUBLIC HEALTH IS PUBLIC WEALTH
COMPLIED BY THE
PUBLIC HEALTH LEAGUE
OF WA SHiNGTON
scARLArINA

When we talk of "scarlatina" we
should remember that what is So
called by the public is really a mild
case of scarlet fever 1t is highly i'm
portant that a child suffering from
even the milder attack of this danger
Gus disease be carefully isolated, as a
severe, possibly fatal, case may be,
and frequently has been, contracted
by another child by contact, as scar
contract but difficult to cure. Do not
be deceived by mild attack into per-
mitting the victim to mingle with
others before six weeks have passed,
or to attend school before the peeling-
off process has entirely ceased.
1t is because the usual precautions
are so apt to be neglected these mild
cases constitute menace to a COM
munity. 1t must not be forgotten that
adults can contract scarlet fever, al
though one attack usually gives i'm
munity for life.
Many a person who would shudder
at the mere thought of numbering his
neighbor's child will and does, by
breaking quarantine and neglecting
the simple rules of isolation and san
itation, spread diseases that may
prove fatal. They think the doctors
are fussy and health officers unrea-
sonable. If the public fully under
stood it's responsibility in cases Of
contagion, the death rate in Wash
ington from communicable diseases
would show sudden drop and many
children who are doomed to an early
death by carelessness would live to a
ripe old age.
The first symptoms of scarlet fever
are an unusual restlessness and irri-
liability; this is followed by chilling
and usually vomiting; and sometimes
commissions. The temperature rises
and the skin becomes hot and dry;
there is frequently headache and a
sore throat. A day or two later the
rash appears, little red points close
together, first on the neck and chest,
then covering the body. Even the
mildest Of cases should receive the
prompt attention Of an efficient ply
sician.

Financing

One of the greatest problems facing
the industry is that Of financing oper-
alton and new construction. Stats
tics show that projects costing $6O2,-
l43,000 are actually known to be un-
der construction and will be complet-
ed during the current calendar year.
1t is estimated that the amount actu-
ally expended during 1923 in new con-
struction will reach at least $3.50, ,O00,-
600. This will bring the total invest
ment in the electric light and power
industry at the close of 1923 to the
huge sum Of $3.50, 100000. Figuring
with this as a basis, it is estimated
that owing to reduced rates being put
in effect by many companies in all
parts of the country, the gross earn
ings of all electric light and power
companies in the country will in
crease only $7O,00O,OO0, or in other
words, for an increased gross income
of $70,000,000 the industry this year
Is investing in permanent improve
ments and increases $3.50, 100000. Last
year the gross income was $1,084,-
100000. This year it is estimated that
it will be $1,15O, 100000.
