Very little interest was taken, it be
ing conceded that the "drys" would
carry the county by an overwhelming
vote. Thre has not been an open sa

357 dry. 123 wet; American fa.Ua, 129

PENALTIES MUST BE REAL
Army Culprits Must Go to Guard
houseNo Luxuries.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash.,
May 26. (Special.) That the guard
house must be made a place of punish
ment for prisoners in the United States
Army, and that all luxuries, such as
tobacco, shall be excluded, is an- order
Just Issued by General Marion P. Maus,,
commander of the Department of the
Columbia.
The attention of the commanding
officers of the department is directed
to the importance of securing uni
formity and of strictly carrying out
orders and observing regulation of
prisoners under their control. General
Maus said:
"Punishment is "awarded only after
careful consideration and is commen
surate to the offenses committed. The
object of such punishment is primarily
to prevent future misconduct, and un
less carried out thoroughly as ordered
it is evident that this object will not
be attained.
"While the demands of humanity, the
proper care as to supply of food, its
adequacy and preparation, and good
sanitary conditions must be consid
ered, no mitigation or deviation from
uniformity in carrying out the sen
tences of all prisoners will be permitted
or tolerated."
Prisoners serving sentence for se
rious offenses, or awaiting trial for
such offenses, will not be sent to work
to places where their escape may be
effected or favored, and officers vio
lating necessary precautions will not
be excused of responsibility in case of
escape.
Such prisoners will not be permitted
to enter the woods or go to the bar
racks for their meals.
GUNNYSACK DEATH-DEALER
Horticulture Inspector Tells Fruit
Men I low to Kill Caterpillars.
.VANCOUVER. Wash., May 26. (Spe
cial.) To kill caterpillars gunnysacks are
recommended by A. A. Quarnberg, dis
trict horticultural inspector.
Numerous complaints have been made
to the inspector that caterpillars are nu
merous on the fruit trees in this county.
Concerning them Mr. Quarnberg said:
"The fruitgrowers need have no fear
about caterpillars destroying the fruit.
They may eat the green leaves, but it is
hot difficult to get rid of them. Spraying
with arsenate of lead will kill them, but
there is a simpler method.
"The caterpillars usually feed in the
morning and crawl down on the trunk
of the tree in the afternoon or evening.
When they are clustered around the
trunk, if one will roll up a gunnysack
and with it crush them, he will find this
the easier way of getting rid of the
pests. If a fruitgrower will go through
his orchard with his gunnysack every
day for several days, he will have de
stroyed all of the pests-."

WANTED HUMAN SKIN
VANCOUVER MAX'S LIFE OXLY
SAVED BY GRAFTING.
Physician Places $1.6G-3 Value
Per Square Inch and Would Pur
chase 50 0 Pieces of Cuticle. -
VANCOUVER, Wash., May .26. (Spe
cial.) Human skin, if good and healthy,
is valued et $1.66 2-3 square inch, or $5
for three square inches, for grafting pur
poses, by Dr. J. P. Guerin, of Vancouver,
who desires over 500 square inches to
graft on a burn suffered by Otto John
son several weeks ago.
Dr. Guerin performed one grafting op
eration on Johnson, when he covered one
twelfth of the burn. Then 70 railroad men
volunteered to appear the next Sunday
morning and each was to give three
square inches of skin. As the, doctor was
unable to be present, being called away
on an urgent case, the men who had
volunteered went away and have not
since returned. '
The doctor now desires to secure,
enough human skin to cover the remain
der of the burn and offers $5 to each per
son who will give up three square inches
of his skin, to be grafted on Johnson. He
assures any who volunteer to give up
the required skin that the taking of it
will be painless and no bad effects will
follow. The cuticle only is taken, and
not the cutis.
Those willing to assist in saving John
son's life are asked to see Dr. Guerin
a his office tomorrow morning, when
dates for taking the skin will be made.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., May 26.
General court-martial proceedings against
First Lieutenant Rollo F. Anderson,
14!th Coast Artillery, were begun today
and when adjournment- was taken this
evening both sides had completed the in
troduction of testimony. ' It is expected
the case will be ready for submission to

Charges against Lieutenant Anderson
grew out of the accidental dropping of an

the marksmen on shore. The tug escaped

special target practice size, weighing 18
pounds instead of the 1000-pound missile
used in war service. Although the trou-.
ble-making shot is spoken of as an error,
it really was perfect scoring, the only er
ror being that the firing -details failed to
see that the basis for aiming was changed
from the tug to the target being -towed.

the ground and Huston was on the flume,
and on looking up Watts was horrified to
see that Huston had fallen 35 feet, had
landed in a V-shaped brace on the flume

tricate himself.
Watts, who was only recently released
from a hospital and had been cautioned
by the doctor to be careful, called to Hus
