BAGUAN ISLAND
UNDER CONTROL
UNCLE SAN SOON
MANILA, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—The Philippine government
has renewed negotiations for control
of the little island of Baguan, only
thirty miles northeast of British North
Borneo in the Sulu sea. Baguan, al
though part of the Philippine group
ceded by Spain to the United States
in the treaty of Paris, has remained
under the control of the British North
Borneo government, because of the
proximity to that island.
Baguan, also known as Turtle island
on account of the great number of tur
tles there, is inhabited by Moros, who,
Philippine officiates assert, should be
placed under the control of the govern
ment of the Sulu archipelago, which is
the southernmost part of the Philip
pine group.
Sir Aylmer Pearson, governor of
British North Borneo, has been visit
ing at Baguio, the summer capital of
the Philippines, and officials of the
insular government hoped to complete
the preliminary negotiations with him
for taking control of Baguan, so that
the matter might be presented to
Washington for final adjustment in a
short time.
The island of Baguan is said to be
the clearing house for a ring which
smuggles quantites of opium into the
islands of the Sulu archipelago, as
well as into the island of Mindanao.
Officials believe this opium traffic can
be broken up when Baguan is brought
under control of the Philippine gov
ernment.
CO-EDS ARE “MAN HATERS”
Girl Students at University of Cincin
nati Form Organization Opposed
to Cave Men.
Cincinnati.—The “Man-Haters club”
is the designation of an organization
recently formed by girl students at
the University of Cincinnati. Its code
of principles gives the young men to
understand that no male company is
desired upon the usnal basis.
No cave men are desired by the
membership as escorts. Only finan
cially independent and physically com
petent suitors, “willing to lie brought
up like father.” will be giveu favor
at the university this year.
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.
POCATELLO IS
NAMED AFTER
INDIAN CHIEF
POCATELLO, Ida., July 26 (by As
sociated Press).—The city of Poca
tello, though named after an Indian
chief, is not in reality an Indian name,
according to old timers, and the origin
of the name is an odd one.
Fort Hall, on the- outskirts of this
place and now an Indian reservation
for Bannock and Shoshone tribes, was
at one time a frontier post. Among
the Indians in this vicinity at that
time was a warrior chief, hostile and
fearless though liked by all the sol
diers, who at different times clothed
the chief in the cast-off uniforms of
officers of high rank. In his pilgrim
ages to the fort for food this chief in
sisted on pork and tallow, but being
unable to properly handle the English
language it was reduced to “pok a
tallo,” and he was known by that name
to all the white settlers in the west.
Chief Pocatello’s burial ground was
near an enormous spring on the reser
vation, of which there are thousands,
and with him were buried all his
horses, bridles, blankets, tepees and
guns. When the railroad came
through a small village sprung up and
in honor to this fighting warrior they
named it Pocatello.
NEW JAP SHIP
SAME SIZE AS
OUR MARYLAND
I
YOKOSUKA, July 26 (by Associat
ed Press).—The Japanese battleship
Mutsu, recently launched here, is
closely comparable with the newest
American battleship, the Maryland,
launched at Newport News, in March.
Both warships, however, are consid
erably smaller and less speedy than
the great British battleship cruiser
Hood, launched on the Clyde in Aug
uset, 1918. The Hood, on the other
hand is armed with 15-inch guns in
her main battery, while the Mutsu
and the Maryland will have an equal
number of 16-inch rifles.
The Hood continues to be the larg
est warship afloat, a distinction she
will hold until the Massachusetts
class of dreadnaught comes into the
United States service in 1921-22.
Of All Sad Words of Tongue or Pen, the Forty—
NEW YORK.—The United States is going to lose a perfectly good citizen
and soldierman pretty soon if congress doesn’t speed up that bill exempt*
ing the foreign fiancees of our overseas fighters from the literacy test which
now applies to all immigrants enter
ing our ports.
Alfonso Mastrodi of 83 School
street, Yonkers (ex-343d field artillery
and veteran of the Verdun front), is
so heartbroken over the fact that
Maria Iacomini, who has been held at
Ellis Island since last November, can’t
enter the country until she can read
forty words, that he said on the is
land:
“That congress! If it does not
quickly pass the lawr and give Maria
to me I will no more be an American citizen. I will go back to Italy with
Maria. I love this country. I fought for it in France. But Maria—I love
her more than any country!
“Weeks now, and months, I tried to teach my Maria to read. She knows
now the alphabet, but words she cannot make out of the letters. When we
are together we cannot get our minds on the books. Oh, this big trouble!”
Almost every day since November he tried to drill the art of reading into
her pretty head, but he has given her his last lesson.
Alfonso and Maria were childhood sweethearts in Tallyosa, Italy. He
came here and prospered; then in 1914 went and fought with the Italian army,
returning to join the American forces when we entered the war.
p. S.—Washington finally ruled that Maria—and other girls in the same
fix—may be admitted for 60 days, provided they agree not to marry in that
time.
Famous Lost Gold mine of Idaho Reported Found
« POKANE.—The “lost” gold mine of the upper Salmon river district of
iJ Idaho has been rediscovered, according to a report reaching here. For
many years two prospectors named Hughes and Swan went every spring on
a mysterious journey into the hills
of central Idaho, and every fall re
turned with quantities of raw gold. WEVE
They succeeded, moreover, in eluding FOUND
pursuit upon their journeys. THLOjf
Then one fall Hughes fell sick, MINE
and Swan, his partner, left alone next I J
spring on the annual pilgrimage.
Again „he eluded pursuit. On his re
turn journey he was waylaid, murder
ed and robbed of the fruits of his sum
mei^s toil.
Hughes, jealously guarding the
secret of the hidden wealth against the day when he should recover his health,
died in poverty in this city.
Shortly before he died, however, he endeavored to give his golden secret
to C. H. Rolf, a former Spokane policeman who had befriended him. With
his failing strength he drew a crude map of its. location, as nearly as he could
remember it.
Practically every summer since then Rolf has spent in a fruitless search,
for the lost mine. For twenty years he has continued his quest.
The mine has been located, according to a report from Lewistown, Idaho,
by two Jensen brothers of that city. It is declared to be a tributary canon
of Ramsey creek in the upper Salmon river district of central Idaho.
The ledge proper is declared to be from four to six feet wide, with a rich
streak of quartz, in which the gold is easily visible to the naked eye, four to
six inches in width.
