MARSH FIELD, Ore. Jan. 13? The

The vessel was dashed to pieces

numbering 32 men .are believed to
have perished.
A number of bodies have been
washed ashore and recovered.
The Czarina at one time was on th
Alaska run, going to Juneau and the

SPOKANE, Wash. Jan. 1 ? "There
are already too many children in the
world. What we want now Is qual
ity and not quantity. Parents should
be taught the responsibility of bring
ing children into the world, and,
then, when they have been taught
that nine tenths ot the babies bom
every year are nothing more or less
than human culls, 1 believe the birth
rate will decrease and we shall have
a better and stronger race."
This from Mrs. Helen La Reine
Baker, the richest woman in Spo
kane, also suffragist, reformer, phil
anthropist. humanitarian and apostle
of brotherly love, known throughout
the northwest as "the Little Mother
of Unfortunate Children."
Mrs. Baker is anything but con
ventional. She is young afij attrac
tive, and is highly educated and
widely i raveled and has plenty of
money to gratify every whim.
"Eugenics is the technical term
for the work I am engaged in," she
said. "It relates to the propogation
of mankind, and 1 moan to devote
all my time to teaching children the j
right way of living. Yon cannot
mould character after the child is 20
years of age.
"My studios of children all over
the world have convinced me that
not more than 10 per cent of them
are children of love. The other 00
per cent are not wanted, and this
loads me to believe that ten years
hence to be the father of a family
of 10 or 12 children will be as much j
of a disgrace as being a confirmed
drunkard is at the present time.
"Within the next decade we shall |
be able to teach these things to child
ren and the result will be a new raw
of men and women. "

"PURE-FOOD" WILEY WILL RESIGN
(By Alaska News? Bureau)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 13? The
"what is whiskey" discussion is said
to have resolved Dr. Harvey \V. Wiley]
that he will not fool any more with
a Government that does not appre
ciate his earnest pure food efforts,
and it is said he has decided to of
fer his resignation ns chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry.
The ruling of President Taft in the
whiskey question was in a sense the
culmination of a series of upsets for
Dr. Wiley, a review of the record
showing that he has been overruled
on every proposition since the enact
ment of the pure food laws.
Opportunities in private employ
ment by food manufacturers are abun
dant for the doctor and the Govern
ment need not think , it can trifle
with him in the belief that he has to
hang on to his Job.

the appropriation measures through,
and that subject and the ship sub

bill. I look for adjournment of Con
