The Sherman County Observer, Moro, Oregon, CANNIBALS BLOCK SHIPPING OF GOLD Hills of the Precious Metal '* in New Guinea. San "Francisco.—A fighting scientist, now on the high seas en route to New Guizga, told a fascinating story of un told wealth in that cannibal-infested country before sailing from this port on the Matson liner Sonoma. To the narrator, E. W. P. Chlnnery. Australian anthropologist, fighting headhunters is an everyday matter in remotq, sections of the South Seas. New Guinea is an Australian man date, and It is Chinnery’s duty to ex plore the interior with a view to bring ing the savuge tribes into the fold of civilization so that some of the wealth in tlie inaccessible interior may be exploited. At present copra Is the leading in dustry of New Guinea, but mining of gold may soon surpass it if Chinnery’s projects are successful. New Guinsa’s W ealth Untold. “There is no more Interesting place in the q-orid than New Guinea.” Chin- nery stated before the sailing. ‘‘Its wealth is untold. There are hills in the Interior of almost solid gold, yet the country is so wild as to make wining operations extremely hazard-, OO8¿¿ Chlnnery outlined some of tlie diffi culties which confront mining men who seek to reap some of the interior country’s natural wealth. Although thg richest gold mines are located only thirty miles from the coast, they are eight days’ Journey on foot. Mountain peaks 13,000 feet high must be sealed to reach the gold fields. In the unconquered sections, the scientist declared, therfe dwells a sav age race of cannibals known as Papu ans. If their spears and arrows bring down a foe he will be found on the Papuan menu that evening. Chlnnery lias headed many parties into the Jungles of the interior. His expeditions are always equipped with modern firearms, which have more than once saved him and his compan ions from the soup kettles. M ake* Friend» W ith Savages.

Futility of sacri fice under certain conditions. I t took courage to realize th a t Sometimes there crept into Bella’s., heart the Im pulse to cast aside this impending op portunity for happiness, and let her destiny flow /along with her sister’s. B ut most of the time Bella kept her courage in band. Why wreck her own chance of happiness and possibly Myron Dodge’s when she was not even sure of achieving happiness by such a renunciation, for Minna? And so when Myron Dodge, fifty, hale, hearty, wholesome and astonish ingly welhto-do, actually proposed marriage to Bella Mitten across a counter where, for twenty years, she had dispensed needles, spool-thread. Invisible hairpins and huck toweling, a heart-hurting situation was created.^ There enters the fam iliar complica tion of an, older sister impelled to renunclate, in the name of the younger. And it must be said that Minna, perhaps because she was frailer, fought off, if not in actual words, then with the terror of her manner, this marriage of her sister’s Minna was frightened, desolated, panic stricken. It seemed impossible that she could go in a world that contained Bella, married. And the marvel of it is that Belin did not make the stupid sacrifice In the name • of" sisterly love. After a struggle. It is true, a long heart-break ing one, and with Minna’s unspoken attitude making It all the more d iffi cult, Bella decided that the really gen erous art toward her sister and her self, to say nothing of the man she loved, was to marry Myron Dodge. It meant heartache, it meant heart- hurt, it meant a residium of fear and p ity in the heart of Bella even as she stood a hrlde. But deep within her per sisted the Instinct that not to have married Myron Dodge would have been one of those purposeless, sentimental sacrifices which in the end only em bitter all concerned. I f there bad ever lurkfed in Bella any fear thfet Myron might not rise to tlie occasion of treating his sister-in- law with the pampered indulgence to which she was accustomed, that fear was quickly dispelled. For the first two years of their mar riage, the Myron Dodges traveled abroad, accompanied every inch of the way by the smaller and frailer Minna. And if she had been indulged by Bella, before this marriage, twice that kind liness, twice that forbearance was ex pended in her behalf by Myron. It was his way of paying Bella a tribute he knew would mean most to her. The three of them finally decided to settle down In a lovely old Sussex cot- tnge In England for a year or so. Life Is pleasant there. Almost unbelievably so. Tranquil. Full of beauty and hap piness. Bella never haa any regrets over her wisdom In not making the sacrifice in behalf of her sister, indeed, on the contrary, she often figures pleasantly to herself th a t if she had not had the strength to Ignore her scruples and make this marriage, Minna, from the fastnesses of the little notion store, would never have met up with Cleve land Aley.
