URGES JUBILEE
EVERY SUMMER

Editor, The Times; 1t was
impossible for me to take part
in Tacomas Jubilee celebration,
but l did think much about it.
From all I've heard the celebra-
ton was the biggest, best and
farthest reaching program Ia
coma ever had. Here's my
thought:
Why not call fleet week
after this Tacoma Jubilee
Week? These words alone will
return thoughts in everyone's
mind of the fine time had in
Tacoma. Psychology is a great
thing. You see fleet week turns
everyone's mind to the fleet and
not Tacoma.
Stage another parade and
some kind of spectacle for the
Stadium and keep the money
in Tacoma. Perhaps the money
could be used in making Ia
coma's Christmas lighting the
most beautiful in the country,
thus making another Come to
Tacoma" stunt for midwinter;
Tacoma. the fair land of the
west" Yours for bigger and
better Tacoma.

An APPRECIATION

Editor. The Times On behalf
Of the Roy Psrent-Teacher as
ISOLATION may l extend to you
It's grateful appreciation for
the valuable publicity you have
given us this past year.
THIS publicity not only made
1t possible for us to compile =
very attractive year book, but
also acquainted your interested
readers with our activities and
achievements.
Since human thoughts and
actions are greatly influenced
by what is printed by the public
press. we feel that you and
your paper have occupied a
place Of great Importance as a
means of extending this worthy
and truly helpful movement
that exists solely for the benefit
of our children and youth.

credit for having a great deal

Northwest. They were better
rustlers for food than horses and
were more dependable in fording
streams. Another advantage is
that the Indians could not run
them off as easily as they could

were superior to horses. Three

a 5 THE RUSH over the Ore
gon Trail continued, the
Meeker party found continually
increasing evidence that those
who fought for possession of the
road after leaving the Missouri
river were paying a heavy PEN
atty. Furniture that would be
useful in the Oregon country"
was sacrificed for speed. IL
seemed incredible that sane
minded persons would throw
away as much food as they
found piled by the roadside
They rushed hesdlong toward
the west as If there were only
one homestead instead OF thous-
snds of the best land under the
sun.
As the emigrants pushed
on, wasting their substance
and breaking down their
teams, they met a peril that
could not he overcome.
Cholera-the BLACK death"
attacked the head Of the
train.
Because in their hurry they
had neglected to use care in
their eating and had neglected
to protect themselves and used
drinking water from question
able sources, the mortality was
greatest at the head of the
train.
In the Meeker party there was
only one case of the disease.
Ezra's brother. Oliver came in
from a buffalo hunt sick unto
death" That is the way his
case was described but it was
not that bad. 1t would have
meant death if he had continued
to travel, but the camp equip
ment was divided. comfortable
place made for him, and Ezra
Meeker and Buck stayed with
him. -Four days his life was in
the balance but on the fifth
day he began to improve and
they were soon on the road.
As they proceeded, evil
dences OF great calamity
were seen along the road.
Fresh made graves appeared
in increasing numbers. At
one camp they estimated
that so bodies were lying on
the ground awaiting burial.
Overworked and poorly pro-
vided with feed and water,
hundreds Of cattle dropped
in their tracks and were left
where they fell. The carrion
odor polluted the air for
miles.
In a number of cases the
father and mother died and left
small children to the charity of
those who had all they could
do to take care of themselves.
Sometimes it was the father who
passed away, or a mother lesv-
ing an infant child.

was described by one of the

our authority from Rabbi Bsruch

Eregation.
Earliest completely preserved
Hebrew manuscripts OF the Bible
di date from $50 to $50 A. d.
But that is explained because
the Jews. in reverence toward
their holy books. rather than
have them desecrated. burned or
buried them when they were
worn or mutilated. The early
manuscripts used in the syna-
gogues became worn and 30
were destroyed.
There IN q part of one papy-
rus 500 TO 500 years older con-
tanning the decalogue. which Ia
part of the old testament, maxi
ing IL clear that there were He
brew manuscripts of the Bible
as early as the third century.
That pspyrus, in the Cambridge
university library, also contains
the "Shema," confession of
faith which has been repeated
by Jews since 800 p. C.. 80 there
reasonably may have been bib
lical manuscripts written that
