have bid No Trumps. Hence your
partner probably has made an ir-
regular or short-Suit lead. He
probably has tenaces or guarded
honors in other suits. from which
he did not like to lead, or else an
extremely weak hand.
With No 8, the missing honors,
if this is a fourth-best lead, would
be the A. K. J and 10. But with
three of those. he would have to
hold either the AK, in which case
he would lead the K, or the J-10,
in which case he would lead the j.
So this must be an irregular short
s-;t lead. too.
With No. 4. it is impossible for
the lead to be fourth-best, since
there are only two higher cards
than the eight-spot which are not
in sight. Hence, it is some sort of
short-suit lead, and you should
govern yourself accordingly.

Funeral for George Hines
To Be in Portland Tuesday

in Pierce county. Tyrus Hines
and his family joined others who
settled near Olympia.
IN INDIAN WAR
As soon as he was old enough
George Hines went to work In a
printing office at Olympia. While
learning his trade he took time off
TO join the territorial troops in
the Indian war and was engaged
in a number of conflicts. When
the trouble was over he went
TO Portland and became n printer
on the oregonian. II Ia said that
he set the type for the first edi-
torial written by Harvey Scott,
so many years publisher of the
Oregonian.
As "Himes, the Printer" he
printed the first poem written
by Cincinnatus Heinie Miller,
and suggested the pen name
joaquin" Miller.
About 80 years ago Mr.. Hines
retired from business to devote his
time to hobby for collecting
historical data. He became cura-
tor of the Oregon State Historical
society and held that position at
his death.
When a boy he began keeping
a diary. Until a few days before
his death he did not miss an entry.
Until failing health prevented
so much travelling. he attended
meetings of the Pierce County
Pioneer and Historical society and
was frequent visitor at the
Washington State Historical build
ing here.

GENENA The Unite d
States notified the League of
Nations Monday of its readi-
ness to assist Finland.
The notification was a reply
from the department Of state to
an inquiry from the League of
Nations. The inquiry was sent to
member as well as non-member
nations of the league in accord
ance with an assembly resolution
which called for assistance to Fin
land at the time Soviet Russias
expulsion was voted.
1t was addressed to Joseph
Avenol of France, secretary gen
eral of the league.
The American note ex-
pressed the opinion that the
leagues staff on technical
studies, by achieving coordi-
mated action, could avoid the
useless duplication of efforts
in behalf Of Finland by the
various governments which
have agreed to aid her.
Most of the nations canvassed
by the league, including Great
Britain, France, South American
countries and South Africa, agreed
to lend "all possible assistance" to
Finland. One Of the exceptions
was Peru, which said she was not
at this time in a position to rem
der effective aid to Finland.

NihtNN sih year oiu VI Y u
Hines. whose funeral at Port
land Tuesday will be attended by
pioneers of Washington and Ore
gon, was one of two survivors OF
the wagon train which crossed
Naches Pass and made the last
camp on Spanaway prairie near
Clover creek in the fall of 1853.
The remaining survivor is Lee
Baker, of Portland. Accompanied
by w. p. Bonney and other Tacoma
friends the two drove up the
Naches highway three years ago to
the White river crossing near
where the train camped after the
perilous descent from the summit.
Hines had planned another trip
to the historic spot last fall but
relatives refused to permit the at
tempt.
Mr.. Hines passed away In
Portland hospital Saturday.
Death was due TO a stroke
suffered In December. Flu
neral services viii be held In
Portland at IL n. m. Tuesday.
George Hines was nine years old
when his father Tyrus Hines,
Pennsylvania shoemaker, joined the
wagon train which left the Mis-
souri, river for Puget Sound about
the middle of March, 1883. Being
a husky boy and all the wagon
space needed for the women and
younger children, George walked
the 1000 miles over prairies and
up and down mountains.
TRAIN DIVIDED
When the train reached Walla
Walla 1t was divided, part of the
wagons continuing down the CO.
lumbia river and the others taking
what had been represented as a
shortcut to Puget Sound via
Naches pass. Puget Sound set
tiers had planned the road for this
particular train but due to a mis-
understanding 1t had not been
finished.
Before the summit was reached
the road had dwindled to a trail
which disappeared in the heavy
timber.
Building their own road,
these pioneers reached Naches
