SHARP AS SERPENT'S STING Aged Indian Clilcl' Met lip With Ungrateful Child and Took the Count How Tonasket, sn of Chief Som nohere, of the Okanogan tril/e of In dians, braved the wrath of his father to befriend a party of American whites is an Interesting incident in the life of the chief as related by Major R. D.. Qwydir, former Indian agent and pioneer of the Pacific Northwest, says the Spokane Chron icle. 1 "Tonasket was always a friend to the whites," said Major Qwydlr, "while Somnohere entertained a bitter hatred for them. It was an unlucky day for white folks who fell in with Somnohere or his bands. "Tonasket was operating a pack train between Forts Walla Walla and Colvllle. On one of his trips he ran across his father, who, with a war party, had captured a party of Ameri cans and was preparing to finish them according to the ethics and methods of the aborigines. "The younger Indian pleaded in vain with his father to spare the whites. The old chief called Tonasket a 'weakling' and upbraided him for taking sides with the 'Boston men.' "The argument grew warmer until in anger the old chief raised his ' rifle and was about to shoot one of the captives. Suddenly Tonasket wrested the feun from him and with a terrific jjmash put his father down for the count. Before the old chief recovered consciousness Tonasket's comrades of the pack train came to his aid and they succeeded in driv ing the war party off. They liberated the white people, restored thetr prop erty and guarded them to safety."

For surely the Lord is in this place." This inscription on a poor box in the vestibule of St. Andrew's Protest ant Church of Spokane, Wash., saved the edifice from looting at the hands of burglars, says the Spokane Chron icle. Under cover of a downpour of rain the burglars forced a window of the church to gain entrance. Cbntribu tion boxes were torn from the walls, closets and cabinets were jimmied and the plunder piled on the pulpit. A key to an iron vault was found and the strongbox opened. Six large sil ver plates, valued at S3OO, that have been for communion services for 100 years were Collected. And then the vandals left without taking a single -article. The police assign the sudden aban donment of the robbery to reading the inscription on the poorbox. ORE VIA THE AIR ROUTE Owners of Isolated Alaskan Mine Will Transport Product in Big 1)1 rigi ble • Balloon Ship ore by balloon route is the scheme of J. M. Nelson, of McCarty, Alaska, who is investigating the claims of a flexible dirigible type of aircraft being put on the market by a manufacturer here, says the Spo kane Chronicle. Mr. Nelson will await a test of the machine before closing the deal, but if it is satisfac tory will put a balloon in service. • He proposes to use the craft to carry molybdenite ore from his prop erty and to carry in supplies. "Our property is fifty miles from McCarty, situated at the head of a glacier, where it is difficult to get in and out," said Mr. Nelson. Such a means of travel would be useful all year around, but in winter it would be especially .valuable. The Spokane manufacturers say their machine will be able to carry a ton and make the trip of fifty miles in a little more than an hour, at about the cost of running an automobile. "Molybdenite is worth about $1.60 a pound: wo have a ledge about eight feet wide, with twelve inches of pure ore," Nelson says. GIVES HIS AMJ TO All) POOR [ Retired U. S.

If 5,000 ticks take up homesteads on a sheep, that has one gallon, or 65,000 drops of blood in its body, and each tick demands one drop of blood a day for its living ration, ho\v much more will rt cost to feed that animal than one that is "unpopulated"? This is the problem propounded by Dr. E. T. Baker, of the Idaho Uni versity, before the Northwest LiVe Stock conference at Spokane, says the Spokane Chronicle. "Homesteaders, forage/poisons and coyotes take the greatest toll from the flocks," declared Dr. Baker, "but something more must be done to stamp out the sheep tick pest. Ticks are exceedingly costly to the sheep men in that a sheep afflicted with them must consume a great deal more food to make up for the loss of - blood, than the sheep not thus trou bled. "Forage poisons are killing $5,000,- 000 worth of sheep in the United States every year and predatory ani mals and hydrophobia are taking an enormous additional toll."

Automobile Notes A motorcycle rider played a promi nent part In assisting tile owner of a moving picture theater at Chatta nooga, Tenn., out of trouble recently, and at the same time established it self as a rapid and sure means of transportation. It happened this way: The theater failed to make connec tion with a train, and the films which were to have been in Atlanta in time for a 2 o'clock show failed to (set out. The theater owner called up ttns manager of a, messenger service, shortly after 9 o'clock, and asked whether he could get a man through to Atlanta, and at the same time a long distance call came from Atlanta asking if .something could not be done by the messenger company. The manager at once found out that it was a serious case and not a kid fan ning bee. He agreed to get those films Into Atlanta in the earlv after noon. and at 10.14 o'clock Charlie Wallace, an employe of the company/ mounted his trusty motorcycle and departed. Wallace made the tr'n without dif ficulty, landing In Atlanta with the films at 3.15 o'clock in the afternoon. The messenger delivered said films in time to keep the house from being dark in the afternoon and attracted considerable attention. The messenger company charged $lO for making the trip, the price be ing gladly payed by the film men. who stood to lose an afternoon and night's receipts otherwise.
