Plane Wrecked Near Inigon
There was some little excitment at
our neighboring town last Saturday
when an uirplano which had been
stalled there, was dragged out onto
the highway and in starting to as
cend the wing hit a telephone post
and the plane turned over, tearing all
the telegraph wires as it went anl
knocking down the pole, which tore
the top from Saltng's car. Fortunate
ly no one was injured. The occupants
of the plane took out the engine and
departed in a car which was said,
came from Wnlla Walla. Many stor
ies were rife ns to what the business
of the plane was. many thought it
was out to meet the escaped convicts,
who were still at large, but at last
reports all were as much in the dark
as ever. The occupants of the plane
were reticent and taciturn. The same
day the Patterson Ferry w-as closely
guarded by a number of men who were
deputized to keep a watch for the con
victs and it wa a great relief when
the news came lelling of their cap
ture in Washington.

MANGANESE IN OLYMPICS
U. S. Geologist After Extensive Sur
vey Reports Plenty.
Aberdeen, Wash. The Olympic pen
insula is rich in deposits of manganese
ore, according to J. T. Pardeen of the
United States geological survey, who
returned from an extensive investiga

pics. Pardeen said that there are man
ganese traces throughout the moun
tains and that Beveral vast bodies of
the ore have been discovered. One
of these deposits, on the Solduc burn,
near Port Angeles, is already being
mined and is yielding ore of excep

"The manganese deposits of the
Olympics have hardly been scratch

TGET a good deal of satisfaction out
of the first snowfall. The poetry
of it still appeals to me not a little,
though I have gotten pretty well over
my childish desire to engage In snow
ball tights and to hitch my hand-sled
behind coal wagons and other vehicles
as they roll down the street. Nor
does the bob-sled ride with a crowd
all snugly tucked In with blankets
and buffalo robes make much of an
appeal to me. I doubt, really, If an
honest-to-goodness buffalo robe could
be requisitioned In my neighborhood,
In spite of all of Its modern con
veniences. I enjoy watching the snow come
down, when I have time to watch it,
and I like to see It lying like a white
counterpane across my streich of
lawn. It is when it gets soot-begrltned
or soft and mushy under my feet from
the warm rays of the sun that I do
not care for it.
It Is as a test of character, however,
that I find most Interest In the first
snowfall. I live on a street of de
tached houses with ample lawns and
sidewalks in front of them. It Is a
rhanging community where neighbors
come and go a good deal, with few oc
copying the same bouse for many
years I seldom have time to form n
very close acquaintance with these
neighbors; I cannot call upon them,
but the first snow fall gives me an
Insight into their characters and tells
me not a little nbout their personal
habits.
If the snw comes at night, ns I'
often does, long before I am up In the
morning I can hear my neighbor
across the street cleaning the snow
off his walk. His shovel bents a rapid
tattoo upon the cement walk. It Is
no narrow path down the middle of
the walk that he makes, as pome oth
era less energetic do, but a thoroughly
complete job. Including the long ex
panse of walk In front of his lot swept
clean. He even goes so far at times
as to Include the place next door
where only women live. One ran pick
out the energetic ones by looking down
the street and counting the bare
patches of sidewalk that the early
risers have shoveled clean.
Nothing tests a man's character an
severely as his living far back fron
the street or on a corner lot when
bis walk extends about two sides of
the place. Tou can always depeni'
upon a man who shovels out both
Ides of a corner lot following the firs
snowfall. If he Is satisfied to plow
through (he soft snow, and let the sur
clean it off when old Sol gets round
to It, or to posh a narrow path down
the middle of the walk with a few
whisks of a stiff broom, ten to one he
is lazy or selfish.
It takes strength of character to
crawl out of bed of a cold morning,
hurt up the snow shovel and go out
and dean off the walks.
