In most Instances those of the 00 rehabilitated veterans of the Pa cific nrthwest , who have secur red employment are receiving more money for their services than they did on the job they held before the war. Records show that disabled former service men in the northwest are becoming rehabili tated more rapidly in proportion to the population than in any sec tion of the United States. A total of 1375,000 a month is being paid into the hands of veterans of this district to pay for their keep while in training. The amount paid per month in straight com pensation to injured veterans Is approximately $300,006. These sums are paid to a total of more than 8000 memn."

With the completion of a new veterans' hospital in Walla Walla, Wash., the problem, of properly caring for veterans in the northwest district suffering from tuberculosis has been. met. Tuber culosis and mental trouble among former service men are increasing steadily despite the fact that the war ended more than three years ago, the government representa tive stated. It Is planned to care for mental cases among veterans at a new hospital in Washington to be built from money provided by the 117,000,000 Langley bill appropriation. It is estimated by medical experts among veterans that there are 2 500 former service men in the three Pacific northwest states now afflicted with some kind of mental or nervous trouble. Warning Issued -Veterans with claims pending in the United States veterans' bu reau are warned not to have deal ings with private agencies claim ing that they' can secure immedi ate action on compensation re quests. Retainer fees paid these agencies are a total loss, as no in dividual or concern has any influ ence or "pull", with the veteran's bureau and all cases will be given earnest and prompt attention. Ex service men's organizations and the Red Cross are many times of material assistance to veterans in the building up of their compensa tion claims.

Montgomery, - Qulnaby Lilly Hardware Compaay, Starton A. 1m Bones, Turner CEDAR RAPID, la., June 20. Ellis Cutting of this city rode into the Taller ot death with the immortal six hundred. Sitting at his nome here this man who rode "Into the aws ot death, into the mouth ot hell," recalls the charge of the light brigade at Balaklava, in the Cri mean. -war. He saw Captain Ko lan, saure young aide-de-camp ot the British commander. Lord Raglan, dash up and hand Lord Lucan, cavalry commander, a note. Mr. Cutting, then a 17-year-old British trooper, did not know what the note contained. History says it contained these terse orders: a--' , "Lord Raglan wishes the caval ry to advance rapidly to the front and try to prevent the enemy car rying away the guns French car airy is on your left." Cutting saw his commander thrust that note, into his glove before its bearer rode away. Command Given "Forward, the Light Brigade!" The command rang. There was a flash of sabers. Down into the valley dashed the line of British horsemen, to certain destruction. Cutting, who for 45 years was a railroad employe at Iowa Falls and Cedar Falls, retired two years ago and is now making his home in this city. He is now 85 years old and was 17 when he enlisted in the Eleventh Hussars of her majesty, Queen Victoria. Mr. Cut ting believes he is among the last, if not the last, of the men who were immortalized by Tennrson. He vividly recalls the charge. He says he saw nothing, knew nothing, heard nothing but felt within him the Insane urge that drove him forward with a furious desjre to bury his saber in a Rus sian breast, i . Cardigan Was Leader The Light Brigade," Mr. Cut ting says, "was composed of the Fourth and Thirteenth Dragoons, the Eighth and Eleventh Hussars and the Seventeenth Lancers. It was commanded by Lord Cardi gan. The men wore. red trousers and bluejackets which gained for them the name of 'Cherrylegs.' "The brigade had been lying Inactive during the progress of the fighting until the order to charge came. The battle had hardly begun until it was over. Blindly a few stragglers, clamber ing over moaning comrades, straggling through heaps of dead and . dying, horses and men in death throes, pools ot blood, fought their way to the rear of the line." y. Only Six Returned ; iMr. Cutting disagrees with his tory . as 'to the number who re turned. He says there were only six. ; He was. asked what was the se cret of the futile and merciless command. Cutting said Lord Rag lan denied to Lord Lucan that he had ever given the order to charge and that then Lord Lucan pulled the order from his glove where he had tucked it. that your handwriting?' Lord Lucan asked. . Mr. Cutting does not' know what the reply was, but for ten minutes he saw them engaged In a battle of words. He believes Lord Raglan gave it in goofl faith but that Instead of rushing In the cavalry, the infantry should have been .sent In to maneuver. Cutting went to India with the British troops and passed through the mutiny. He marched from Delhi to Lucknow and .fought in that famous siege. Once he was wounded. He passed through Egypt and was in active service in South Africa In 1857. In June I860 he received his discharge from the British army and in 1S71 he came to the United States.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 20. Indian totem poles of Alaska are aa beautiful and as interesting as the Parthenon of old Crocce, according to Dr. P. T. Waterman, who is in Alaska studying the to tem poles tor the Smithsonian in stitute. Along the Alaska coasts the to tem poles are disappearing and Dr. Waterman was sent north by the Institute, at the request of the United States government, to make a study ot them and record their history before they are all gone. In the native, village of Kassan, near Ketchikan, he found a large group of poles. Dr. Waterman aays he found that totems were used not ony for memorial shafts but also were used by thte early Indians as re ceptacles for the bodies of their dead. Vivid. Colors Used The first totem poles wore beautifully carved by professional carvers who used flat ' colors, made from local minerals. Dark red and deep blue and black were used In coloring and not the gau dy yellow,, bright red and blu which were found on later poles. Each totem had its own name and the naming cf the pole was the occasion among the Indians for & potlach and the giving of presents. "Moving up Higher" was the name of one pole belong ing to the Roven tribe and "Bear Kneading" was the name of an other, getting its name from the way in which a bear walks, a movement similar to that ot woman kneading bread. Czar Pictured In one village Dr. Waterman found a pole on which was carved the figure ot Alexander II, who was czar of Russia when Alaska was sold to the United States. Al exander was pictured as wearing a frock coat, epaulets and pocket flaps. This Dr. Waterman be lieves, was, to show the contempt of the Indians for a czar who "could not hold." Dr.. Waterman expects to spend another month Jn southeastern Alaska studying totem poles be fore returning to Washington. D. C. He has devoted the past 12 years to Indian research work.
