Friday, February 16, 1917 No. 7. i• At the meeting of the Baker Commercial club last week, a committee was appointed to con- fer and co-operate with the com- missioners in an effort to im- prove and shorten the Ekalaka- Baker road. We are mighty glad to see the Bakerites make this move which means so much to the farmers living in this vic- inity and eauth - of Baker. This Wings up the question of the res- urection of the Ekalaka club, which of late has been decidely out of existence. In order that we may aid other communities in securing needed improvements and give more prestige to our own efforts we should revive the club and put it in working con• dition. Many questions are to come before us during the com- ing year, so let us prepare our- selves with a commercinl organ- ization to take action on them. We have been asked on many occasions if a person can be held responsible for the payment of a paper that comes to his address, but was never ordered. It has The subscribing to a paper is a mutual contract between the sub- scriber and the publisher for only such a length of time as is shown by the amount of money paid and we feel that it is our duty to terminate the c.9.ntract when the time is up. maii notices before stopping papers hoping that we may receive a renewal, and unless such comes, then we discontinue them. Nine out of ten of our subscibers com- mend us on this policy which should prove that we expect to publish such a paper as will be desired by the people of this sec- tion.

Tarious conditions affect the weatherdig of coal, tending to pre- serve or destroy the --pile. - Report- ing an investigation to the Canadian department of mines,. Dr. J. B. Por- ter shows - that the - kind of coal is a prime factor in the problem, that the presence in it of such unstable car- bonaceous compounds as resins and humus promotes Oxidation, that py- rite and marcasite are effective as disintegrating agents and that fine coal or dust presents a vastly great- er surface for oxidizing action than jumps. A low pile ensures less pres- sure. Cornpression and shutting out of air increase the risk of destruc- tion, while excess of air, ,though tending to ,facilitate oxidization, ac- tually lessens the effect bf'convey- ing away the heat. Dry coal is so pooff\a conductor of heat that the presence of a heated spot in the pile may be unsuspected until. rain pene- trates to the interior, finding its way back as steam. The temperature of the coal at time of storage is im- portant and the heat of a Runmer day makes it da.ngerous to store coal eiposed to the noonday sun. The shining of the sun on the pile after storage has less effect, as the heat ab- sorbed is given off at night. received tineir shipments for the issue of Feb. 2nd yet we did not, 'despite the fact . that ours was sent on the same train.

VALUABLE GIFT TO MUSEUM Collection of Tomb Jades That Are Known to Be More Than Twenty Centuries Old. A gift of distinction made to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and put on exhibition this month is a collection of 105 tomb jades present- ed tiy Samuel T. Peters. This fills out a similar presentation made by Mr. Peters to the museum about two years ago. The later pieces arc much finer and the whole makes a collection that probably cannot be excelled. , Not all of the collection has been put on exhibition, but two cases can be seen ip the cast end of the gallery previously used for spe- cial exhibitions and now devoted to far eastern art. These tomb jades date back tc about 200 years B. C. They arc not former] of the clear jade used by the Chinese at a later date, but of the matrix and are in -unusual Oades of brownc. There are a large number of amulets which were placed at the mouth, nostrils and eyes of the ,dead to prevent the en- trance' Of Oil. spirits. There is the Pi, a large round flat piece . of jade with a hole in the center, an emblem of heaven, a gift of honor • there are \wands of dignity\ arid carved pieces of jade, buckles possibly. A few of the pieces which had not been buried date as far back as 1,000 years B. C. --New York Tribune. DAY OF RED LAMP GONE. The electric current is raPidly dis- placing the old-time red lamp, which it was customary to place as a warn- ing against temporary obstructions. An electrical exchange recently printed a picture of a large sign, which was placed in the roadway to indicate that the road was closed during repairs, and at night time this sign is illuminated with several electric lamps.
