Reach Millions of Children. Be Made at Hearin MERGER COVERS J ii- 1! " Baker, May 28. Al Butts, pioneer blacksmith of Durkee, while visiting Baker recalled a number of incidents that happened In the old stage days before the building: of the railroad through Baker. Butts in those days was in the employ .of the stag- company as horseshoer, working In that capacity from. 1879 until -.1884, when the railroad put the stage line out of business. KOAD AGENTS MAKE BOW " In the summer of 1884, Butts said, hen he was on the stage with 17 other passengers not a prreat distance from Baker, two men hailed the driver from a point of vantage above the grade. They wore: masks and- emphasized their demands with gestures with a Win chester rifle , and large revolver. "The names they railed us were far ' from complimentary," said Mr. Butts. 11 "They asked me- to throw down the " Wells Fargo express box, which I did, and thankful for the opportunity to be of service to such insistant gentlemen. At the same time they called upon all , the others; to give up their pocket books. P0CKETBO0K GOES, TOO ' "Here, I thought. Is where I save my pocketbook, ; since they had not asked me to give, up mine. It's queer, but one of the men seemed to 'be a mind reader, for he asked me for my pocket book ; at this time, - I replied that I worked for my money and did not think -it a fair deal to ask me for it. - " "Come on, no back talk,' came the reply.- . Now it is strange how quickly rmM can change his mind. I immedi- M&tely gave him my pocketbook, but - T did neglect to tell him that I happened ' to have two pocketbooks. . SATEJ IIS $400 ' . "At this late date I will admit that I gave him the one in which there was a S5 gold piece instead of the one in which I was tfortunate enough to have something over $400. - "In fact, since that experience with those-two gentlemen of the road I have come to the conclusion that It is a pretty good plan , to carry two pocketbooks more, if you think it better, "To return to that stage experience," continued the pioneer stage blacksmith, I will say there was some hubbub after the departure of the two road agents. PAIR GO TO SALEM "The upshot of the thing was that within five days from the hold-up, the pair was on the way to Salem to spend rive years, at the urgent in sis tan ce of 7 VANCOUVER, FROM EARLY DAYS, IS PORTRAYED IN PAGEANT j Pjmm - i - lb ''' X" - Cll'J ' ' ' M , ? .

"He finally identified himself as the younger of the two men who beld up the stage near Baker in the summer of 1884. I invited him to take supper with me that evening, and he told me he had not had breakfast.

TICKETS BO CENTS MAIN 474S Charles Isaacs, who lives at 3537 Sixty-third street southeast, counts himself one of the luckiest men alive. Among his reasons for gratitude are one wife and. six children.; He has a good Job and plenty of physical strength to perform it, as he helps dig the sewers which are going into the Mount Scott district. Perhaps his chief cause for self- congratulation is the fact that he lives in America. "God has been good to us to bring us to America," Bays Mrs. Isaacs, "for in America the rich help the poor nd everybody is good to everybody else. It is true our children have had diphtheria and measles - and we have had to send them to the hospitals for operations, but we are' get ting along, all right. : AMERICA "SO DIFFERENT" "America is so different from my country, Syria. I do not know what the matter is there, but there is no work for the' Christians, and the Christian people are Buffering terribly. We have just had a letter from Syria and a man and his wife, two of our best friends, have recently died, ; leaving their four children. Their children and others are eating grass until they come to look the color of grass. My children have father and mother to help them. We want no help." ' When the members of the Anabel Presbyterian church were making their collection of clothing for the Armenian and Syrian sufferers In the Near East, some said they wanted their clothing to go to the Isaacs family. Mrs. Isaacs was invited to the church to see what she could use for her children, but she declared that ' all should be sent to Syria.
