program did not come in very clearly
over the hotel radio set, due to some
local disturbance, but others in the val.

kHQ, reported good reception.
During the evening the following
message was sent to the Spokane
Chamber: Seventeen of our members
are present tonight. White Bluffs on

between Spokane and Yakima This
message was sent at 7:2O and fifteen

The meeting was attended by II

The report of Treasurer Fred Gil

INTERESTING EXCERPTS FROM
FAMILY CHAIN LETTER

Several families in the Priest Rap
DIS Valley have formed the pleasant
habit of writing family chain letters.
After the letter is started, at some
time during each year each member
of the family receives it, adds to it
and passes it along to another, so
that at least once during each twelve
months there is a kind Of family re-
union by correspondence, no matter
how far apart the kinsfolk may live.
One of these letters that came in
due course to Mrs. w. A. Joyce OF
East Hanford not long ago, con-
tanned a clipping of an article that
had been written by cousin, Mrs.
Nellie Irish of Washington. D. "

story, "The President Goes To
Church." was so interesting that
Mrs. Joyce gave the Spokesman force
the privilege of reading it and with
her permission we are passing on
to our readers an excerpt from Mrs.
Irislrs story, regretting that space
does rot permit its entire reproduc-
ton:
All churches find it a severe test
of spiritual worship to be crowded
BY the curious, craning their necks
for a view of the President, making
i almost audible comments. on his
looks, what his wife wears, whether
they sing and etc. How will the
Quakers meet this problem, they
whose worship emphasizes silence and
inner communion of each individual
with the divine.
You enter this little church and
are quietly shown to pew. You
look around rectangular room with
the plainest of finish, soft tan walls,
green cushioned pews that will seat
two hundred and fifty comfortably.
There is no pulpit, organ nor piano,
no singing and no clergyman. All
seats are free and there is no col
lection taken.
At the front one pew is turned to
face the others. In this, at the ap-
pointed time, a committee of ever
sight takes it's place. There is a
sound as of a gavel and the service
has commenced. All sit in quiet pray
er and meditation until some member
feels prompted to deliver a message.
Several may speak on as many diff
ferent subjects with an interval of
meditation between. Then two sit

and rise The formal worship is over.
It may be that all have found the

SUMMERS PLEADS FOR BILL

Carrying his fight into the very
heart of the enemy, Congressman
John w. Summers recently, speaking
before the National League of Com
mission Merchants, at their second
annual meeting at Detroit, urged
them to get behind the Borah-Sum-
mers bill intended to wipe out unfair
practices by commission men and
other handlers of perishable fruits
and vegetables. This bill was before
the last congress and has been in.
troduced in the senate and house at
the present sssion, but has not been
reported.
Representative Summers reviewed
the growth of the fruit and vegetable
shipments since the advent of re-
frigeration, and the development OF
early season agriculture in the south
and southwest. He said the annual
increase in shipments of fruits and
vegetables in refrigerator cars has
been about $4,000 cars.

being the "three-tosone" policv for
payment of construction This new
change is effective Immediately.
All public utility corporations are

and. therefore, company regulations
must be made to coincide with these

The new three-to-one policy can
be explained by the following illus

Assuming that an extension to
one or more customeres costs $500
and the annual revenue from this ex-
tension is estimated at $500. the
Pacific Power & Light company will
pay as its part of the construction
an amount equivalent to three times
the estimated revenue, which in this
case would amount to $500. The bal
ance of the cost of construction, 500
represents the share to be paid BY
the patrons served by the extension"
Where the lines are now construct
ed and also for new construction. the
Department of Public Works has
ruled that the utility company is not

Research directed toward the maxi
ing of such a larvicide has already
been undertaken here at the New Jer-

and preliminary tests made last sum-
mer were encouraging. If further tests
give good results, practical applica-
tons of the larvicide will be made
from airplanes next summer.

drain or fill, or where it was
impossible to navigate with boats
equipped for spraying oil.

Madame Fraya prophesies that war
is fast approaching in Europe but that
1881 will be passed under the constant
panic of war without actual fighting.
During this time France will continue
to consolidate it's position through
the efforts of young man" whose
political star has not yet arisen.
II am afraid" she laments, "that
the coming year has many unhappy
events in store for the world. The
United States will be even harder hit

Takes Children With
Her to Prison COLONY

Lisbon.-Albina Coelho, known as
the "Peioa" of Vilela, was among the
last group of criminals sent to the
Portuguese colony of Loanda. She was
accompanied voluntarily by her six
children.
The "Peioa" has to serve a SEN
tence of % years for the murder Of
the civil magistrate of Paroles, whom
she killed, with razor.
Albina Coelho once lived life Of
ease, managing the affairs of her
household. Now she has aged con-
siderably as a result of her crime and
Imprisonment. When the time for her
removal to Africa approached, the
children-whose ages range from fif-
teen to twenty-five years decided that
they did not want to stand the sepa-
ration.
Their decision created a sympathetic
reaction in many circles and even the
archbishop of Evora gave Albina a
letter Of recommendation to the arch-
bishop of Loanda.

 The story of the monkey army is almost as old as the hills of India and starts out: "Once upon a time there lived a king" Other charac- ters are the kings son and the lat ter's beautiful princess bride.
 The prince is Rama, big and strong, and his wife is Sita. The king has two arch enemies, witch who contrives the banishment of Rama and Sita, and a neighboring ruler called Ravana who, in the monkey world, is the Evil One.
 While Rama and Sita pine in a forest to which they have been exiled. Ravana kidnaps the bride. Rama, wanders among the trees calling "Si-ta! My Si-ta.' until the mournful cry reaches the ears of the monkey folk.

 It is the story of the monkey army based on ancient Hindu mythology. A wise old monkey who thinks and schemes and talks is the hero.
 The new monkey army, "Nanar Sena" in the verracular, appeared first in Bombay. It is being formed by hundreds of thousands of chill dren, congress leaders say. and the aim is to have companies in every city and village.
 Several times, as part of Gandhis civil disobedience program, the soldiers" declared a holiday. Schools were picketed. Pup1s who would not join were shooed- away from classes.

 Poking around in huge piles of dirt thrown up by steam shovels on the site of the athletic stadium, he discovered some peculiar objects.
 Viloria informed university au- thorities and special meeting of the directing board was called. King Alfonso presided and funds were granted for archaeological excava- tion.
 Professor Hugo Obermaier of Gen. tral University and Perez de Bar radas, head of prehistoric investiga- tions for the city council, were named to supervise the project. Work has been rushed and approxi- mately one-third of the territory has been investigated with rich findings as a reward.
 Coins, wooden kitchen utensils, ceramics with geometric designs, stone knives, a granite grinding mill. skeletons of bulls, goats, birds and other animals are some of the un- covered objects.
 There, can be no doubt that a settlement existed on, this site Perez de Barradas said. Ut dates around the end of the copper age or the beginning of the bronze age, which would indicate the period from 2500-2Oo0 B. C. We have dis covered traces of no less than 20 small buildings used as homes and barns.
 From our work I have been able to piece together a picture of the life of these early Madrilenos. The village was surrounded by steep slopes and in the central square were natural fountains where the villagers filled earthen water jars. \ Although women did much of the manual work and designed the fine examples of ceramics, I believe they enjoyed almost political equality with men. Their civiliza- ton. in general, was fairly ad- vanced. Domestic animals were bred and used Agriculture was practical. We have found a piece of hard rock fashioned .ihto a crude razor"
