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."
MOTTO HAJ.TS ROBBER
Burglar In (liurch Has Sudden Change

Booty on Altar
"Whosoever thou art fhat enters
this church, leave it not \Vithout
kneeling down and saying a prayer
to God, for thyself and for those who
minister here. 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. Soldier Surrenders
Savings to Be Used in Founding
Relief Fund
| A permanent fund that will afford
! a measure of relief for Spokane's poor
| was started when John Christiansen
I donated all his worldly possessions to
the Spokane Social Service Bureau.
The amount is approximately $16,000
land includes a ranch worth SB,OOO,
! the remainder being in city property,
I says the Spokane Chronicle.
| Mr Christiansen is 67 years old
i and believes his United States army
J pension will amply care f<W him for
!the remainder of his days. His desire
i to*see the money put to relief work
I among the poor while he still is alive
prompted the gift. An effort will be
made to secure additions to the fund.
WHAT DOES A TICK COST?
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."
Ida Tarbell Has To Hustle
"I am a Connecticut farmer. I am
a farmer by taste and everything
else except finances. My farm sup
plies enough corn and oftts to feed
my horse and cow, but I have to get
out and work to make my own liv
ing." said Ida M. Tarbell, noted jour
nalist and author to an Interviewer
for the Spokane Chronicle, In giving
the newspaperman a glimpse of her
home life.
"I am just an ordinary human be
ing. I love my friends and hate my
enemies, but try to exercise restraint
in both "cases.''
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.
Tt is interesting to note that when
the threat of an open break with
Germany made itself apparent with
all Its possibilities for trouble both
from without our borders and within,
that the army officers of New York
State appealed to the motorcycle
mounted guardsmen in the first call
for aid. ,
An hour after the call was issued
the First Motor Battery of the
Twenty-second Engineers was sum
moned together by a motorcycle
courier and two hours later broken
into detachments of ten' men each,
100 expert motorcycle soldiers were
natrolinc the entire line of the New
York City aqueducts with communi
cation stations at the big gate houses
along the line.
Even before the First Motor Bat
tery was mustered into active service
the motorcycle division of the First
Field Artlllen' was calle'd for courier
service between divisional headquar
ters established temporarily by Major
General O'Ryan at the First Field
Artillery armory at Sixty-eighth
street and other commands located at
various parts of the city. The inces
