The youth, a son of the principal of the high school at Orient, was a high school junior and was said to have been brilliant In his classes, Makes Break for Freedom. A week ago he was arrested on a charge of Juvenile delinquency, including of a horse. He was taken before the courts here and committed to the Chehalls industrial training school.

While awaiting transportation he escaped the Ferry county jail. He then stole a car and made a desperate bid for freedom but was overhauled and Monday was returned to the jail here. Later the same day, Sheriff Jim Gardner, 55, of the kindly, fatherly type, left the Jail with the cell block door ajar. Young King, slipping into the office, stole a revolver belonging to the sheriff, then concealed himself behind a door. When the sheriff reentered the youth fired through a crack in the door, striking Gardner in the right arm.

Sheriff Shows No Fear. Without hesitation, the sheriff drew his own weapon and advanced. The boy retreated Into the cell block and was cowed, disarmed and locked in. Prosecutor W. C.

Beck at once filed a charge of first degree assault and the youth today pleaded guilty before Superior Judge William C. Brown of Okanogan.

While calling attention to the loans made to Europe by the United States, he writes: "But we get little help from specific figures or reasons for making the loans. In the main we furnished money to carry on the war.

Others borrowed It for that general purpose. After the armistice we furnished more money for food, supplies and reconstruction. 62 Years Should Be Enough. "Years after, wa settled the bill of $11,565,000,000 on the present worth basis at 5 per cent interest for We thought that was within the capacity of the debtors to pay. We knew they must get the means to pay by producing goods and selling services.

That is the way we got the means to make the loans. If we could produce these results within three years we thought Europe could make the return to us in 62 years." The effect of debt payments on foreign trade, Mr. Coolldge holds, Is somewhat problematical." "With all its unknown and unknowable factors," he explains, "it Is not possible to make an accurate analysis of either foreign or domestic trade. But there are some features of Its relation to cancellation that seem plain. Subsidy to Foreign Trade.

"In the first place to remit the debt would be a direct subsidy of mure than a quarter of a billion dollars per year to the governments of foreign countries made for the assumed purpose of Inducing their people to trade with our people. While that would be something distinctly new under the sun we ought not to discard It on that account without examination. "While there is some sentiment In trade it is largely a matter of interest, going where it Is most advantageous. The foreign people, being relieved of certain taxes, It is assumed, would have more money to spend. But how can we be assured it would be expended here? The natural place for them to buy goods would be where the price was lowest.

Our taxes would be higher because the bonds we Issued to get money to lend Europe must be paid. That would increase the cost of our production. Our Costs Would Rise. "Instead of being better able to meet world competition and sell more goods to Europe, the chances would seem to be that our costs would be so high that Europe would not only find cheaper goods In other countries, but would be better able than at present to take away our foreign trade In non-European countries."

She looked as though she had parked her gold pan outside to attend the "dlggln's." Some Grizzled Veterans. There was a preponderance of young men In the crowd, some mere boys. There were grizzled heads, who looked as though they knew the ways of the hills and had seen the gold excitement of the early days. There were men of all ages In between. Poorly dressed men and well dressed men.

But It was the eagerness of the crowd that was Interesting. Seventy years ago the old prospectors swung Into the northwestern hills with picks and shovels and gold pans to search out the gold. A generation passes and people sit before mining professors to discover short cuts to search for gold once again. Response Amaies All. Men and women brought paper and pencil and took notes and when Professor Staley began to enumerate likely spots where gold had been reported found, out came maps In the audience.

At the end of the morning session there was a rush to the platform to obtain the pamphlets on mining. Everybody was in earnest and officials conducting the school were amazed at the response. Prank M. Smith, director of the Bunker Hill te Sullivan Mining and Smelting company, told the would-be gold miners that the school could not make placer experts of them In two days, but that they could give many practical suggestions. Dean Finch told of the revived interest In mining.

From 40 to 50 letters a day come to the Idaho school of mines, asking for mining Information. They not only come from every state in the Union, but from Europe. Some letters ask: "Where can I find a placer location where I can make $6 a day?" The dean would like to know himself. May Be on Hilltop. Dean Finch sketched the geological formations that produce gold and explained the processes that eventually deposit gold In placer locations.

Placer gold Is as apt to be found on the top of a mountain as In the bed of a stream, he told them. Another practical suggestion was to remember that gold does not belong on the surface, and he urged them to dig deep. He told them how to chase gold up a hill with a pan, from placer In a stream, to the vein and informed them that the discovery of placer gold meant a living and the discovery of a vein meant a fortune. The dean described Idaho as the greatest unexplored mining opportunity in the United States, due to the fact that much of the country is Inaccessible. Tributary streams of the big rivers, which have been worked but little, offer better opportunities than the old stamping grounds.

Cites Likely Spots. Professor Staley, in his talk, pointed to a map and indicated where "them thar hills might be" with gold. He mentioned Chelan county, Kittitas, Whatcom, Okanogan, Ferry, among others. Professor Staley gave a practical talk on how to placer mine. Mr.

Wolf Informed the listeners that the national forests are open to prospecting and mining for mineral development but cautioned gold-seekers to realize that there Is much private land In national forests and to be careful not to locate a strike In some other fellow's bailiwick. Eric Johnston, president of the Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the mining school "students" and Robert Banks, president of the Northwest Mining association, explained plans for the extension of the mining school.

A large dummy stuffed with straw and dressed like a man was perched on top of a showcase in one of the vacant buildings in which the men are quartered and under it was the sign.

"The only man going home." The trucks were driven up amid the derisive Jeers of 400 men "Who's going home?" shouted one man. "Nobody," the whole band answered In chorus. In a spirit of fun, some of them rigged up a baby carriage which they said could transport all the veterans who wanted to leave. Priest Scores Success. The veterans' uncrowned king of the day was the Rev.

James R. Cox, Catholic priest of Pittsburgh, who some months ago led an unemployed army to the capital. Bareheaded in the blazing sun, 6000 veterans at the main camp heard the priest extol their cause. He advised the men to "stay until the bonus is paid." Speaking from the top of a shed, the priest said: "The payment of the bonus would require an outlay of $2,000,000,000 by the government and the soldiers have been refused this payment time and time again, because they claim the payment of the bonus would render their country bankrupt. "Yet during the last 10 years the secretary of the treasury has given back in refunds en income taxes to the multimillionaires of the countrv an amount equal to that demanded for the soldiers' bonus.

Father Cox read to the veterans a resolution he had prepared, asking full immediate payment of the bonus.
