Albert Gallatin was Secre- | tary throughout the whole of Jefferson's eight years and for five years under President Madi- all. He then was Minister to France for years Minister to Eng- land for two years. Later was President of | a New York bank for nine years. He retired from active life and wrote two or three books. He finally died at the age of 88 years, revered as one of the greatest of American statesmen and one of the world’s foremost experts in finances. Prior to be- coming Secretary of the Treasury he was a pro- fessor at Harvard and a Pennsylvania Represen- tative in Congress and United States Senator. He | was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and grudualcd‘ by the University of Geneva before coming to| the United States and becoming an American citi- zen. He was a very thorough student of the his- tory of aboriginal Americans, and wrote of the In- dians of the United States, Mexico, Yucatan and | Central America. William H. Crawford of Georgia served as Sec- retary of the Treasury under Presidents Madison | and Monroe from 1816 until 1825. He had been a Representative in Congress and a United States Senator. He was one of the premier statesmen of his time, as was his predecessor, Albert Gallatin. He a candidate for President in 1824 and had it not been for @ paralytic stroke during the cam-| paign he might have been clected. He seryed as a United States Circuit Cofrt Judge after retiring from the Cabinet. Secretary Mellon completed eight years of serv- ice at the head of the Treasury Department last March. Recently President Hoover announced that he would remain as Secretary of the Treasury under his Administration. If he does so he will have served longer in that position than any ()(h('l" person except Albert Gallatin. | A pre the Treasury portfolio any President son—thirteen years in and he seven was GOV. BONE ACTIVE. Former Gov. Scott C. Bone is well and active according to word that comes from Atascadero. He is taking live interest against the agitation for dividing Luis Obispo County of which San Luis Obispo is the county seat. The separatists want that part of the country north of the divide placed | in a separate county. Gev. Bone, although in the northern part of the county, opposes division. The Atascadero News of recent date contains| the following: “Governor Scott C. Bone was the er of the day at a recent meeting Kiwanis Club at San Luis Obispo, that the residents of all parts of the county pull together in every constructive project *“‘The_ residents of Atascadero are not separatists’ the Governor declared; ‘they are with the people of San Luis Obispo and the County in any constructive project.’ “He suggested that all of San Luis Obispo County get together and adopt the Kiwanis motto, ‘We Build,' adding that in ten years Atascadero would have a population of 10,- 000, and the county of 50,000, if—they pull- ed together. In conclusion, he related sev- eral incidents in connection with his life in a San speak- of the urging Tuesday afternoon, the Governor in a similar strain before the Ex- change Club at Paso Robles, dwelling more at length on his experiences.” LOW RAILROAD FARES NEXT SUMMER. z of Transcontinental Passenger ree n comprising all railroads Orleans, held in St. Louis decided to place in effect in round trip excursion fares Westbound as prevailed this year, according to advices received by A. J. Arrivee, Trav- eling Pass Ag Great Northern Railway, | Seattle. People can now plan their trips knowing with certain what the railroad fares will cost them, whether it be to visit the old folks back home or for the Easterner to accept the invitations of our commercial organizations to come West and share our wonderful climate and scenery as long as they can. Westbound into effect May 1 Eastbound May 22 and will be sold every day to and including September 30; the final limit for return being October 31. The reason that the tickets are sold earlier Westbound is that there is a very heavy travel the first few days the fares go into effect and this arrangement permits the use of hundreds of additional Pullmans Westbound which are then returned in service with the Eastbound rush.

Of the rival new twenty-hour trains to Chicago, the Golden Arrow received a pretty but common- place name, and the Commodore Vanderbilt a name that is interesting and appropriate. It is said to| be the first train in the world christened for an! individual—though locomotives have been so named If this is true, the distinction went to the American Commodore Vanderbilt deserved it for two rea- sons. He was a railway leader of vision. He went into railroading partly because Daniel Drew was beating him on the Hudson, but more largely be- | cause he saw the railway held the future of trans- portation. There were other men who had the| chance to be first in integrating some of the num- ercus short railways between the Atlantic and the Mississippi Valley, and to run through trains. But the 'ommodore was foremost in that post-war process, fighting his way from New York to Albany by a series of consolidations, and then by the‘ acquisition of the Lake Shore winning into Chicago in one leap. But this was not all. “Old Corneel” managed to keep picturesquely in the public eye. An expr named for J. Edgar Thompson would honor a tem builder as aggressive and resource- ful, but Thompson is unknown compared with the man who did his best work in his seventies and whose estate of $104,000,000 was our first great railway fortune. Now that the precedent has been set, we may have other crack trains bearing famous names: the Jay Cooke, the J. J. Hill, the Grenville M. Dodge, and if the Erie has enough courage—the Jay Gould. | mental titles that decorate most railway folders. They recall chapters of railroading as romantic as almost anything in our whole history, A Good Citizen of Baseball. (New York Times.) “You know what I owe to him,” mournfully said Babe Ruth, and that explained why it was difficult | for him to talk much about the death of Miller J. Huggins. The very large American world which | follows the news of professional baseball remembers | that debt and many others. There was a time when | Huggins's disciplining of the home-run king, idol | of American baseball fans, was greeted with anger | and derision. But when Ruth, restored to the game | after his punishment, showed by his play how just and beneficial was his sentence, the dissenters began to realize how great a mgnager Huggins was. The league penants and world’s championships which followed for the Yankees confirmed the popu- | lar estimate of Huggins. Now at the moment of his death he is fixed in his place as the first intelli- gence on the diamond. The comment which has come from that heterogeneous group of citizens which is connected with baseball makes due men- tion of his abilities. But throughout there runs a warmer note of tribute to his personal qualities. Whatever the hidden reason, it is a fact that public affections center more on very large or very small men than on medium-size ones. Huggins was 5 feet 4 inches tall. It is also a fact that self- effacing, taciturn public heroes are idolized beyond | ageressive ones, once their fame is made. Huggins | was silent and shunned the limelight. Thus the | formula is complete for the remarkable reaction of public sentiment which has followed his death. He | will go down in baseball history as one of its truly great. Losing Their Alarm. (Olympia Olympian.) A few years ago you could produce violent mani- festations of hatred and alarm in any representa- tive group of American industrialists by tiptoeing up to them and pronouncing the words, “Soviet Russia.” 3 Today that attitude has changed. trialists adopt a receptive air when they hear those words nowadays and cluster around to see if a new business deal can't be arranged. The reason is not hard to find. Russia is rap- idly becoming a very excellent customer for Amer- ican business men. Already her purchases from America are four times their maximum under the Czar, and there is every indication that the surface has barely been scratched. The $25,000,000 and $50,- 000,000 contracts the Soviets are dangling under the noses of American industrialists are beginning to have a very marked effect. e g D Whales to Be Electrocuted. The indus- (Popular Mechanics Magazine.) Whales in future will be electrocuted, if an in- vention which has been tested is taken up by whal- ing companies. Norwegian engineers have devised a method of killing them instantly with electric .cur- rents in the harpoons. Three whales were killed in this manner in tests off the Faroe Islands. The invention is considered of great value, because the number of whaling vessels could be reduced. i Lo R, Sl Of Miss Olive Shea, chosen by the Radio World's Fair as the most beautiful radio artist in Am- erica, the American says, “Plans are being made for her to meet Mayor Walker and Babe Ruth.” It is not stated who is making the plans, but we don’t mind encouraging the planners. They have easily met gentlemen in the country.—(New York Wrold.) e U G S NS It is said that President Hoover is X It learning type- writing.

He is very important around this time of the year, but I'd like you to hear how he made his plans {in the first place.” t seemed to be much cooler. The |children actually shivered a little, but they minded the cool air only at first. They had been told by the Little Black Clock to bring their sweaters with them, and they were quite comfortable in a moment or two. He led them on and on until they came to a castle. It was & most magnificent castic. But the most magnificent thing about it was the way in which the win- dows were decorated. There were all kinds of decora- tions and paintings on the windows and they were all painted, it seem- ed, with frgsty white brushes. Some of the paihting was going on now. Back of the castle were a great many trees, all of yellow and red and other flaming shades. “Jack! Jack! Jack!” called out the Little Black Clock. “Jack! Jack! Jack!” he called again, and he asked John and Peggy to call out, too. So they began to shout: “Jack! Jack! Jack!” There appeared at one of the windows the oddest looking person either of the children had ever seen. Yet there was a sort of dash- ing look about him. In fact, he was really quite hand- some “Well, I'm not usually wanted as much as all of this! This is a treat. T'll be right down. Pray step inside the castle.” The Little Black Clock and John and Peggy walked inside. The great door, decorated much as the windows were, opened of its own jaccord for them. Then Jack appeared. “Allow me,” said the Little Black Clock, “to introduce Jack Frost!” - e, NOTICE The Motorship “NORCO” Will‘E sail from Seattle for Juneau and way points October 25th.
