Engineer David elliott brought
back with him FROM California a sec
tiOn of bark taken from California
redwood tree at his brother.in.law's
sawmill near Humboldt. The bark is
fourteen or fifteen inches thick. Mr..
elliott could easily have secured
piece of bark two feet in thickness If
he had had any way to bring it home.
The tree from which the fifteen inch
bark was taken was about fifteen feet
In diameter. Mr.. elliott stood beside
the tree after it was cut down and IL
seemed like standing beside box
car. He mounted the tree with the
aid Of ladder and calculated that if
placed across the Canadian river the
Santa Fe could use it as a bridge and
avoid the trouble caused yearly by the
high water and Quicksand.
A remarkable condition existing In
a school district 10 Ford county has
just come to light. There are four
voters in the district, farmer his
wife, son and daughter. The daugh-

school board and they employ the
mother to teach.a nine months school
at $40 a month. As the school house
is In poor condition the school board
rents q room In the house which is
used as a school room. When the
mother has washed the breakfast
dishes she leads the way to the school
room and there instructs three schol.
