EXTRA GUARDS
WATCH STARS
ON COAST

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 8 Q.N.S0.
A new furry of excitement swept
the film colony here today follow
ing publication of reports of a
new series of threatening tele-
phone calls had caused redoubling
of guards around two of film
dom's most famous stars.
Colleen Moore and Marlene Diet
rich were the two stars said to be
the targets of the latest threats.
Additional guards had been placed
over the homes of Miss Dietrich
and Miss Moore.
Miss Dietrich, it was said, has
increased the number of regularly
employed guards who watch over
her young daughter Maria, while
the home of Miss Moore was de.
Scribed as an armed camp.
Four telephone calls, all directed
at Miss Moore, from two appar.
emily different persons, were said
to be the basis of the latest scare.
The telephone calls, it was said,
started on December %, and the
last was received New Year Eve.

Up URN FIRST
SINCE 1929

Retail sales in department and
dry goods stores last year showed
their first increase since 1929,
rising 14.7 per cent above 1888
levels, according to the National
Retail Dry Goods Association.
Total sales were shown to be
30 per cent below the 1929 peak
level, but only Is per cent lower
than in 1925, considered an av-
erage dry goods year. Supple
menting the rise in dollar
volume, the number of individual
transactions in 1884 rose 10 per
cent.
Geographically, the best show
ing was made in agricultural
sections, reflecting the influence
of the Government aid to the
farmer. In the Atlanta Federal
Reserve district sales rose 25.2
per cent, in the Dallas area
23.5 per cent, and in the Chicago
district 20.6 per cent.
The smallest gains were regis
tered in the Boston district,
where dollar volume advanced
only 81 per cent, and in the
New York area. where the rise
was To per cent. In 1882 gains
were confined to the Cleveland,
Atlanta and Dallas districts and
ranged from OF to 3.5 per cent.
Asked to forecast expected
gains for the spring of 1885 over
1884, retailers in the Atlanta dis
trict were the most optimistic,
predicting rise of IS per cent.
Increase of 10 per cent is ex-
pected in the Richmond district.

Calmly, he repeated this measuring of
the other two. All three were the same,
and all three empty, even Of the weed
or shell or other sediment that might
have been expected of their long i'm
merSion.
If this examination suggested any
thing to the minds of count de Corlay
or his son, their expressions gave no
hint of it. AS for Doctor White, he
could have found it in his heart to be
glad his inspection had nothing to
reveal. 1t would have panied him to
discover that these distinguished
Frenchmen were capable of sordid de-
ceit, if such indeed it could have been
considered. But not only was the doc
tor relieved, in sense he was also
puzzled. 1t seemed to him that he had
felt a tension in the air from the
moment Of Mikes description of these
guns, and that this tension had stead
lily increased.
"Well,' said Tom shortly, "at least
they're not duds."
The count slowly shook his head.
He looked as if suddenly taken ILL.

are not-duds-" his voice traled off
into sort of attenuated whisper.

MORE SETTLERS

The drouth Of last summer through the mid
west, and the destruction of many acres of crops
there already this spring has brought to our at
tention very forcibly, the many advantages of the
Pacific Northwest, where irrigation assures suff-
clent water each year and where the absence of
violent storms Of any kind makes for pleasant
living conditions
Within the next few years we can expect to see
large measure of emigration from those sections
east Of the Rockies to this country. No single dis
trct here will attract the bulk of these migrants
but they will settle in those districts which best
appear to suit their individual needs.
To attract these settlers, as we'll as others from
the needs of the future. The Priest Rapids valley
is most favorable location for those who under
stand irrigated farming and who are looking for
place in which they can grow early fruits and
vegetables
A number of problems must be solved first,
however, before these advantages bring to the
growers here the utmost benefits That most COM
monty mentioned is the price Of water. While
other nearby districts are getting by with higher
water charges than that of this valley, further re-
auctions In cost are necessary, and when brought
about will do much to attract more settlers.
Another problem is that of marketing. Being
an early district, this section is under the handi-
cap OF having to compete for markets with the
California produce. New outlets to markets near
at hand and lower freight rates to points within
the marketing radius of our early produce are nee
essary to bring down the cost of transportation
United effort to overcome some of these prob
lens will hasten the day when the full develop
ment of this valley is realized.

REPRESENTATION

1t is claimed that most of the laws passed by
our legislature favor the metropolitan centers of
the state This condition is caused by the fact that
not only the house of representatives but the SEN
ate as we'll, represents the populated rather than
the geographical, areas of the state.
The remedy for this condition would be to APP
portion the representatives according to popula-
ton as is done now, and to change the representa-
ton in the senate from population to geograph-
lcal basis. Such program would tend toward laws
OF more general character as we'll as fewer of
them, and would help in the reduction of GOV
ernmental COSTS

CHAPTER XII

Doctor White shot him a swift
glance He ascribed this apparent
faintness to an overpowering disap-
pointment. He was convinced that the
count had firmly expected the presence
of cast treasure in those guns Jewels,
diamonds and rubies from some bish-
ops inter, or pearls, from Rio de la
Hach. Somebody aboard the corvette
had guessed the secret, perhaps, and
found time to get below and draw the
priceless charges before the hood had
filled.
The count drew another deep breath
and appeared to get himself in hand.
But Doctor White was disturbed by
the pallor of his face. Also it's express
sion puzzled him, because it was not
that of a man who has suffered crush
ing ppointment, but of one who
struggles to suppress some violently ac-
tive emotion rather than the passive
crushing one Of profound chagrin
The discerning doctor was more than
ever certain that count de Corlay had
good reason to count on a secret hoard
contained in these guns, and that even
though they had proven to be empty
of such, this might yet be found in
others. But having now seen that Doc
tor White suspected something of this
Sort the count was torn between eagar
expectation of treasure still secreted
in such a fashion and despair at
knowing that he might as well aban-
don all hope of it's possession.
Doctor White glanced at Robert.
That young mans face wore a, mask
like Indifference He did not seem to
be concerned at all about their COM
paratively worthless find, but what
struck the doctor as even more singu-
lar in so evidently devoted son, he
did not appear to observe the obvious
distress of his father.
Then, catching the doctors eye,
Robert said lightly, well it rather
looks as if papa and had been had"
clad by whom?" Doctor White de-
manded9
"By our jolly old revered ancestor.
T don't mind telling you now that he
recorded tidy bit of personal plum
der in the diary we found. But some
artful johnny must have piped it down
and scoffed in the shuttle.
eve might find it YETI, said Tom.
I'm going down to have look-see
myself when Mike gets through. He
may have missed something''
Doctor White nodded. 20 course I
don't know what was recorded in the
diary, but it seems to me too early
in the game to give up hope. think
also that it would be very much better
if you were to tell us just what was in
the diary"
Robert smiled. whats the good OF
that, sir, when you have shown us
very clearly that we have actually no
legal claim at all? I don't mind tell
ing you frankly that it would only be
a slap at our ancestor and the family
name. Your suspicious that he might
have collared something to the whole
of which he was not entitled, were

BETTER HOMES

Northwest far better on the average than those
Of other sections, there is still great need for
better homes.
Nearly half of the rural homes in the state Of
Washington are without most modern advantages,
such as telephones, electric lights and running
water. Homes that do contain one or more of these
conveniences are, many Of them, unpainted uninl-
proved, and unattractive to any family desiring
the advantages of modern life
Rebuilding and improving homes will do
toward restoring the morale of the occupants
than anything else. Lack of finances has kept
many from undertaking work of this nature, but
now, with the federal government advancing cred
it for remodeling and rebuilding there is an op-
portunity for everyone to improve their homes.
It is gratifying to see that already this spring
considerable amount of this work has been done.
