X •• 1 1
VANCOUVER. B. C.. Nov. 7.—Ev
ery bridge for sixty miles up the Bel
la Coola valley has been swept away
and all the roads washed out by
floods. The townsite of Bella Coola
is a scene of wreck and. desolation.
Practically every inhabitant has suf
fered loss. This disaster appears to
have happened two or three weeks
ago, but the first word of it has just;
reached this city. The little town of
Bella Coola is situated about 300 [
miles up the coast, at the head of |
North Bentinck arm, which is ap
proached through the Burke channel.
It is nearly 10 miles from the open
sea and lies at the mouth of the Bella
Coola river. The district is famous
for its heavy rainfall, and the inhabi
tants have suffered again and again
from heavy floods.

BROOKLYN Tl'BES
EMPLOY WOMEN GYARDS
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.— Ten women
are taking instructions in the work
of subway guards on the Fourth Aven
ue line of the Brooklyn Rapid Trans
it lines in Brooklyn, and will take the
places of men during the rush hours
soon. As more men leave to enter
military service the women will be
ncreased. They will receive the pay of
men which is about 25 cents an hour.
Women are already employed as
cashiers and ticket takers on all the
lines of the B. R. T.. and when the
need for more guards was not filled
by applications sent in by men, 10
women were selected from the cash
ier's waiting list to begn work as
guards. Some timidity is shown by
the new guards when they have to
■dtout the names of the stations loud
y and keep repeating. "Watch your
step!”
All the doors of the cars to be giv
en to the new guards are operated
by air pressure, and it is necessary
only to (ouch buttons to open and
close them. The closing of the doors
gives the signal to the motorman, and
the women do not have to pull bell
cords. John J. Dempsey, superintend
ent of transportation for the B. R. T.,
said that the new guards would be
able to work after Instruction of about
a week. They will travel In the trains
tor several days observing the work
of. the men guards. The uniforms of
the new guards will be similar to
those worn by, the men. They vytl) also
wear caps w.ith gold lettering, on the
front. . i

tune time to die, his estate will fight
against Germany instead of for it, as
would have been the case if it could
distributed before the United States
went to war with the German govern

Hanschet, reported to Judge Bother
of the county court that it was im
possible to transmit legacies to Schin
ner's heirs, all of whom reside in
Germany, until after the war and the
court ordered the estate's ready cash:
amounting to $2,000, invested in
liberty bonds, pending distribution
after the war.

TKACHEB 18 DEFIANT;
, SAYS HE’LL NOT QUIT
ELLENSBURG, Nov. 7—Lynn MUr
key, the Easton school principal who
was convicted in justice court, recent
ly of verbal assault on a liberty loan
speaker at the teachers’ institute, is
out on bail, today, having appealed
to the superior court.
Marker says he will teach at East
on Monday, and defias any one to
stop him.
County Superintendent Bartlett is
expecting a telegram from the state
superintendent revoking Markey’s cer
tificate and hopes to prevent his
teaching another day in this state.
Keeling among teachers of the
county, especially among heads of
various schools, who have been inves
tigating Markey’s language and ac
tions, is bitter. He has been connect
ed with Red Socialists for years, they
claim, and has displayed much dis
loyalty to the Un{te{l States. ,
, Markey came hpra fropi Colorado at
the time of the mine trouble there,
when Gen. Bell took charge in that
gtate. Previously he had not talked
Socialism to teachers, who were
dumbfounded when the mass of evi
dence jcojtad, up H. tpv thlSfA.>Cg**V
had said and done. The feeling is es
pecially bitter due to Markey’s plea
before the tactuate, when be extolled
*
his own patriotism, and then his com
plete change of front when on the wit
ness stand, defended his denudation
of the liberty loan speaker.
