CHAPTER IL

BILL BARON, Pamela and their
Indian captors had ridden on to a
Yaqui village, arriving about mid
night. The white pair were kept
tied and under guard in a shack.
At dawn their hands and feet
were freed and they were given
food and water, but they were kept
under guard. Bill learned that the
alcalde or village chief was away.
This particular village of the
Yaqui Indians-one of four or five
thought to be in the mountain
Businesses Of Sonora-was in a
small high hidden valley made
rich by a constant water supply.
Two springs served the place, and
the great rocks tunbled there by
nature made several caves and
shelters. These were utilized, and
a few other rude dwellings had
been constructed.
Its a good fort" Bill had told
Pamela when they rode in. mo
wonder the Mexican soldiers
haven't routed the Yaquis. Ten
men concealed along the trail could
stand off a thousand"
Coming of the white captives
was big news to the village folk
this morning. About 200 men,
women and children gathered near
the hut, with much talking and
pointing. Most of them chung to
a Spanish dialect, some of which
Bill and Pamela could understand.
Nothing happened all day, but
at night fall the alcalde returned
to- his village, and after supper he
had the captives brought out. Bill
at once tried to question him, but
this head man had more pressing
demands to satisfy first. He was
in earnest and voluble conference
with the Indians who had made
the capture. And the results were
not by any means as tragic as
they might have been, Bill and
Pamela were forced to admit. The
argument was simply about the
division of the captives' clothes.
Presently Bill was taken away
by some Of the men and stripped
naked. One dark fellow took his
Jacket, another his shirt, another
his boots and another his socks
Then the man whom Bill had
cracked in the jaw took the white
mans union suit and promptly put
it on, with evident pride. In spite
of his predicament, Bill couldn't
be angry. Without even asking
permission, he picked up the

THE MARITIME CONTROVERSY ON
 PUGET SOUND

The complications in the waterfront troubles on Puget Sound which now have been temporarily allayed by the declaration of ten-day truce give indication that there are still great many adjust ments to be made before permanent peace can be es- tabshed in the maritime industry in the Pacific.
 While a little confusing to most of us the con- troversy appears to be a many-way proposition which makes it all the complicated and stretches it from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast Actually it started with a controversy between the Sailors Union of the Pacific an Independent labor organization and the National Maritime Union a CIO affiliate, on which group would handle cargo in Tacoma of the freighter Timber Rush of the Shepard Steamship line The Sailors Union in effort to force its de- mands threw picket line the dock in Tacoma. The Tacoma Longshoremens Union, an American Federation of Labor affiliate recognized the picket
 line and refused to pass through it.
 For ten days the situation in Tacoma harbor was at standst Then the Pacific Coast Waterfront Employers Association which includes the steamship operators the coast declared the port closed Immc diatey the Sailors Union declared it lockout and realiated by asserting it would close every port on the Pacific Coasi by the comparatively, simple process of setting up picket lines
 Both the AFL and the CIO apparently recognize the Sailors Union which is affiliated with neither but is potent and boasts huge membership In view of the prevailing fight between CIO and AFI for domina- ton of the labor movement it seems plausible to a.sulne that both hopeful of winning the Sailors Union to is fold, which could give either one the Sailors happen to smile upon domination on the coast.
 It was as result of the Tacoma port closure that the controversy spread to Seattle where the Sailors threat of closing up every port the coast first executed. The CIO National Maritime Union oppon- ent of the Sailors Union of the Pacific is east coast organization Thus il is that truce has been asked by the Employers Association. and granted, while negotiations conducted with the Atlantic Coast groupvas Hus.tl,e ypotent Pacific Sailors Union
 It is to be hoped that out of this of labor organization machinery an early and permanent settlement will be reached It is a terrific blow business and all those engaged in it. employers and employees alike, when maritime tieups follow one another in such rapid succession they have been doing the last two three years. The threatened teup in Seattle is the second cessation of activity this year. Fortunate it has not reached the state of actual tieup which affects Alaska business thus far May the ten-day truce produce something which will prevent it.

 Horace Greeley used to say. Go West, young man. go West" But he strenuous in his advice to country bred young men not to go to the cities He thought the chances for happy, useful and success fu life were better in the country than in the city The burden of his argument that in the city there was no freedom everything ordered by rule, and man could not call his soul his own. Unless he was at the top he always had someone whose orders he must obey. In the country able to order his own ways-he could even loaf and invite his soul In advising young men to go West Horace Greeeys idea for them to take up land cultivate it. and grow up with the country.
 Since Horace Greeley's time there have been great changes. Now there is no more in the West than there is in the East. Yet the country is not crowded, We have not yet made start on such intensive cultivation is the rule in Europe The land an ordinary American farmer lets go to waste would keep French farmer in plenty The boy in the try would do well before he pulls up stakes and starts to the city to make his fortune look around him for the opportunities close at home He would do well to read Horace Greeley and remember that he was esteemed as wise man.

SONS WHOSE PARENTS OBJECT TO
their participation in high school or college
football might argue that they are safer on
the field of play than enroute to and from
games as spectators, the annual report OF
grid fatalities during 1887 which was re-
leased last week indicates.
Not one death resulted on a college
gridiron last year while among the thous-
ands who competed in prep school games, 13
fatalities were listed. Three died because of
sandlot football injuries and three from
athletic club football accidents.
The toll of football has been steadily
downward since the peak reached in 1881.
The more open style of game has no doubt
helped but perhaps the biggest gain is due
to insistence on physical fitness among
youths participating. Bad hearts, for ex-
ample, resulted in some deaths during games
which were not rightly charged to football
as the player should have been refused the
right to play. Such circumstances and in
fections resulting from improper care of
minor injuries still serve to place some I'M
deserved blame on the game.
The record set by colleges this year is
evidence of the value of first rate equip
ment, good coaching, proper care of what
injuries do occur and reasonable caution in
using injured players, as well as insistence
on the physical examination. Football is
not safe sport where all such precautions
are not taken but when properly handled,
the good that it does the American boy far
outweighs the remote possibility of serious
injury-which it is not necessary to point
out, is present in any and every activity.

A SURPRISING NUMBER OF TRAF-
fic accidents have been reported recently in
which pedestrians on the road at night have
been struck and killed by cars, in several
cases while going for help after other acct
dents. Every driver knows that an object
on his right is almost invisible when he is
meeting another car at night, yet the habit
of staying on the right side of the road is
so fixed that he carelessly chooses to walk
so that his back is to the car which may
deal him death. The pedestrian who walks
on the left can proceed with comparative
safety because he faces the approaching car
and can step onto the shoulder or even into
the ditch if necessary to avoid being struck
