disease typhoid fever		Harvest Field Hands Should be Immunized The Commissioner of the State Board of Health, De. T. D. Tuttle, of Seattle, has sent out an appeal to all who inteded to leave the cities and towns to work in the harvest fields to be immunized against typhoid fever. Both of out local physicians, Drs. J. D. Thompson and C. E. Munn, have agreed to co-operate. The appeal is as follows: "The State of Washington has furnished her full quota for all branches of the army. Our young men have not waited to be conscripted, but have come forward in a manly and heroic manner and offered their services to their country. "In this world-wide war it is realized that the battle must be fought not only in the trenches but to an equal extent in the harvest field, and to the call for soldiers in the harvest field our State has responded with the same patriotic spirit. The boys and girls of our schools, too young to enlist in the army, are offering their services in the harvest field battle. These soldiers in the harvest field are entitled to and must received the same protection from disease that is furnished those who enter the fighting ranks. "The first precaution taken with all soldiers entering the army is to render them immune, so far as possible, against disease. Every soldier is immunized against typhoid fever. This point seems to have been overlooked with regard to the soldiers we intend to send into the harvest fields. To neglect this important duty would result in a serious condition. The water supplies of our cities are constantly guarded, and, as a result, are the purest to be found in any State in the Union. The water supplies of our country districts are very frequently, to say the least, contaminated. People who have been in the habit of drinking pure water are much more susceptible to water-borne diseases than are those who have not been in the habit of using pure water. No boy or girl should go into our harvest fields until he or she has been immunized against typhoid fever. Entering the harvest arm

death	Steve, William	Death of a Noted Snoqualmie Indian: William Steve, a full-blood Snoqualmie Indian, died Monday June 11, 1917 at the home of Henry Steve, a nephew. He was nearly 100 years old and is the last of the Snoqualmie tribe of Indians which, under the able leadership of Chief Patkanim, took sides with the white peole during the early Indian revolt. The deceased was born near Snoqualmie Falls, where he spent his early childhood and young manhood, learning the usual means of an Indian livelihood. It was there also, that he studied the arts and tactics of Indian warfare, which he later used to great advantage. After he had finished early training with his fellow tribesmen, and after being disappointed in a love affair, he boarded an ocean-going sailing vessel and worked his way to the Golden Gate as an asst. quarter-master. After several months' absence, he returned home, only to find his Chief and followers making preparations for war. Wars, and rumors of war were ringing within the hearts of every warrior. Mr. Steve went about his usual ante-bellum days. To his people, he told time and time again, what a wonderful country he had visited. He told of the vast number of people and the immense activity that was taking place in the harbor. But he soon found it difficult to check the war preparations, and it was thru the experiences of his voyage to the Golden Gate City that he became the chief interpreter to Chief Patkanim and the Federal authorities. It was probably thru his narratives, combined with the able leadership of Chief Patkanim that caused the Snoqualmie tribe to cease war preparations against the white settlers and ally with the Federal troops. He served as an interpreter and was a constant aid to his Chief thru the Indian wars that followed. (1853-54). After the war, he married a Skokomish Indian woman, the surviving widow, she having been purchased by his people for a vast sum of money. After, spending a few years up the Snoqualmie river, and on the Tulalip reservation, he retired to the Skokomish reservation and lived a peaceful life Four years ago he came to Tulalip to look after his timber hold and some real estate that he had inherited from his brother and nephew. Having reached an advanced age, his health was failing him. thru the help of his nephew, Henry Steve, every means was used to restore his strong manhood. But in vain. Mr. Steve was strong-minded, fir in purpose, and was ever a constant help and able counsel to his surviving nephew until the day of his death. He is survived by his widow, two nephews, Henry Steve, John Albert Steve and a niece, Mrs. Charles Hilliare, all of Tulalip. Chief Charley Syticub, of the Duwamish tribe, who is 100 years old or more, altho feeble and aged, came from his home in Puyallup, assisted by James Gowdy, a prominent and widely known Puyallup Indian, and paid his last respects to his old boyhood friends. Seven of the surviving widow's relatives came up from the Skokomish reservation to attend the funeral, and four old-time friends from the Swinomish reservation also came to pay their last tribute to the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in a massive oak casket, which was enclosed in a solid cement vault. No expense or pains were spared by his nephew, Henry Steve, to do honor to this scion of a great race. The funeral arrangements were under the direction of Undertaker C. H. Schaefer, who states that the funeral was carried out with greater detail and perhaps at a greater expense than any other he has conducted since he came to Marysville. Henry Steve, the nephew, had great admiration for his aged relative, and did all in his power to prove it.
death	Jones, H. E.	Widow of Bridge Tender Gets Award of $2,000 Mrs. Charlotte Jones, after some weeks of negotiations with the railroad company and finally beginning suit, was awarded damages by Judge Ralph C. Bell Tuesday in the sum of $2,000 for the death of her husband, H. E. Jones, who was killed early in April by catching his clothes in the drawbridge engine. As the accident was caused by an exposed nut on the shaft there was some blame attached to the company for allowing dangerous conditions to exist, therefore the company's attorneys offered a reasonable settlement and made no contest in open court.
death		Local and Personal: Undertaker Schaefer erected yesterday three fine monuments, one for Mrs. Thos. Gash in the Catholic cemetery, one for Harry E. Jones and one for Mrs. Melvin Wolcott in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

of interest		Local and Personal: One of Marysville's oldest buildings is being wrecked this week by R. D. Lackey. We refer to the large store building on the corner of First and Cedar streets lately occupied by the Murphy Department store. This building was erected by one of our pioneer citizens and Marysville's first Mayor, Mark Swinnerton, (deceased), about thirty years ago. It formerly stood at the west end of First street and was the first large general merchandise store in town.
wooden cop		Dangerous Crossing Needs Regulation The corner of State street and Third, which is the turn in the Pacific Highway and is also Marysville's busiest street crossing, is a very dangerous crossing at the present time because of the speed with which the through traffic turns the corner. Some minor accidents have occurred and some day something very serious will happen if some regulation is not attempted. The best thing to do would be to put a post in the exact center of the crossing, and on the post a sign directing vehicle drivers to turn to the right. This will require slowing up as to swing around, giving free passage for autos going the opposite direction. Such signposts are in use in many cities, and with good success. Sedro-Woolley, Mount Vernon and Anacortes have them on several corners, and drivers are getting to know what they mean and to respect them, although the lettering cannot always be seen at a distance.
