Mrs O M McKnight, wife of a Bella Vista rancher near Redding, gave birth to four babies—two boys and two girls—within two hours before midnight. The infants weighed from 1 pounds to 3? pounds at birth and were reported healthy. Dr W H Parrish attended, and the family welcomed the quadruplets as Mrs McKnight, 44, has nine prior children.
The Star reports a dramatic publicity stunt about the Snoqualmie Tunnel attracting attention from about two million readers across the United States. The article highlights the public curiosity and the press coverage generated by the promotional effort.
The Star circulated a birdseye view of Seattle and another photo feature through the Newspaper Enterprise Association to over 100 newspapers, part of a campaign to divert tourist traffic to the Pacific coast Expositions this summer. The pair of articles and pictures reached more than two million people.
The Snoqualmie tunnel, 2.5 miles long 40 miles east of Seattle, opened to traffic. It cuts a steep grade and snow blockades, was blasted through solid rock, and cost no worker lives, contrasting with Swiss tunnels. Tourists on the seeing America trip will experience the bore.
A bucket of soup exploded on a stove injuring Mamie Arnold in Mitchell Indiana. The blast scalded her face and she fears disfigurement and possible loss of sight in one eye. J. B. Robinson asks for public support.
Prices slashed across suits coats rainwear and shirts with many items half to two thirds off original cost.

Store No 2 to close but Store No 1 at First South and Main remains open with return policy.
