Brown corner by this evening or to-

Jack Van Alsteln's and the Bill
Brown corner by this evening or to-
morrow. This is the piece of sandy
road that is being experimental with
by State Highway Engineer Cooley.
The brush has been cleared out of the
road to within a few feet of the
fences; on each side of a 20 feet
roadway the ground has been
plowed, leveled off and seeded to
clover, timothy and oats. The road
way of 20 feet has been strawed and it
is hoped that there will be no travel
on the part of the road that is seeded.
When the grain natures it will be cut
and stacked along the roadside and
will be applied to the roadway. Next
year it is expected that there will be
sufficient clover hay to keep the road
in excellent condition. then the
timothy will take the place of the
clover. There is not the least doubt
but what the experiment will prove
successful. At any rate the state is
footing the bills and the travelling
public should heed the signs and keep
OF the sides of the road-keep in the
center of the road-and give the grain
and clover a chance to grow. A
couple of coatings of straw or hay in
a season will transform the worst
stretch of sandy road into a fairly
good highway and if the treatment is
persisted in for few years solid
hard road will be the result. M. S.
rutherford and the publisher of the
U mon have had considerable
trouble in getting the state engineer to
make this experiment and it is
sincerely hoped that the travelling
public will do their part by keeping
off the sides of the road in question.

for Franklin in the awful solitude of
the frozen north, and it beckoned
Columbus across the ocean from Palos
to the Indies. 1t carved the Belvidere
Apollo and it painted the Sistine
Madonna, it struck fire from cold flint,
it gave the wheel to the wagon, it
invented the alphabet and it saw in
the steam wreaths from tea kettle
force greater than that of all the men
in the world united. It reared the
pyramids, it built st. Peter, it bridged
the Hudson, it will dig the canal at
Panama, and it laid the cleaning
rails OF civilization on the SUBMITS OF
the mighty Rockies. It. carried mes
sages through the air, it stored up
speech in reservoirs and it harnessed
the lightning to drag the vehicles of
man. 1t discovered the blood circu-
latlon, it invented the ligature for the
control of hemorrhage, it introduced
vaccination and anesthesia, and it
laid the gentle hand of healing on the
wounds of humanity through anti
septic surgery.
We note it's presence in the
aphorisms of Hippocrates, in the
orations of Demosthenes, with New
ton and Pasteur. It was with Alex
ander in the field as he conquered the
world. 1t was with Plato in the
grove when he founded philosophy.
1t was by the lonely lamp of CELSIUS
and behind the sightless eyes of
Calico. 1t stimulated the labors of
Washington and Cromwell, of Shakes
pere and of Florence Nightingale-a
name of deathless fame.
May you feel it, may you realize it.
May you be animated by this immortal
principal, may you be driven by this
divine fire. If you are you will go
through higher aims to broader
destinies. AS you leave US and turn
your face fearlessly to the front fight
ing life's battles over the somewhat
rugged road that leads to what we call
success in this life, we bid you God
speed with our last word of goodbye
as we hand you your pin and diploma
of the Northwestern hospital.

Isabella Mary Lenertz

Isabella Mary Lenertz, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Lenertz of this
village, died at the Northwestern hos
pital on Monday morning, May lS,
at o'clock from heart failure caused
by exhaustion following an operation
for appendicitis. On Monday of last
week Miss Lenertz was taken suddenly
i'll while attending school and on
Tuesday DR.. Cooney operated upon
the patient and removed a gangrenous
appendix. The prospects for the
patients recovery after the operation
were good, but the disease had
weakened her to such an extent that
she was unable to cope with it's effects.
Miss Lenertz was II years Of age.
Funeral services we're held at St.
Edwards church yesterday morning at
10 o'clock and were conducted by Rev.
Father Levings. The remains were
Inferred in the Catholic cemetery and
many pretty floral offerings we're
placed upon the casket by loving
friends.
A father, mother, five brothers and
three sisters survive the deceased.
Isabella Lenertz was a girl possess
ing a kind and gentle disposition.
She was bright and studious pupil
and favorite with her classmates.
She was taken away in the flower of
her youth, but there is the consolation
that Heaven gives it's favorites early
death. :"

COL. W. S. AMY OF VALDEZ.

Visits Herbert Gates and the Two Old
,Sronies Talk Over Their Expert .
ence In the Wilds of Alaska.
Last Wednesday evening Herbert
Gates of Wyanett was pleasantly sur
prised by visit from an old Alaska
mining chum, Col W. S. Amy, of
Valdez The colonel had been on a
visit to his old home in Vermont, for
the first time in 40 years, and was on
his way back to Valdez, when be
stopped over at st. Paul and ran up
here to visit his old friend and work
mate. Both Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Amy
were the guests of r. G. Dunn Thurs.
day evening. On Friday Mr.. Gates
accompanied Mr.. Amy to St. Paul
where they were pleasantly entertained
by State Auditor Iverson. Mr.. ANY
departed for the west Sunday fore
noon.
Col. Amy first visited Alaska with
an exploring party in 1881 and
remained there several years when he
returned to the states. In 1897 he
again revisited the scene of his former
travels and pitched his tent at Valdez.
For three years or more he was as
ISOLATED with the McClellan-Gates
party who in 1899 discovered the
Nikolai copper and gold mine on
McCarty Creek, and year later the
famous Bonanza copper mine where
scores of thousands of tons of rich
ore is in plain sight. The Bonanza
property was disposed of to New York
parties in 1902. A railroad is prof.
ected from Valdez into the Bonanza,
and If such road is built, and it
must be built for the parties who pur-
chased the Bonanza have large sum
invested, it will go within short
distance of the Nikolai, in which
Amy, Gates, Mcclellan, Iverson and
Dunn still own interests.
Col. Amy is engaged in the livery
business at Valdez. In 1897 there was
nothing there save few shacks, today
it is a city of 5000 people with all
modern improvements. Mr.. Amy
says there is a splendid opening in
Valdez and vicinity for people who
wish to engage in farming on small
scale. Garden truck commands any
old price. He pays as high as $40 per
ton for. feed for his animals. There
is no trouble in raising all kinds of
vegetables in the valleys, but the
people are so deeply interested in
mines and mining that they do not
care to devote any time to truck farm
ing although there is good money in
it. Mr.. Amy carried back a trunk
full of early potatoes and early seeds.
Owing to the long days crops
planted in June will easily mature.

SHEEP INSPECTORS MUST Be CAREFUL

power to quarantine sheep which are
merely suspecter of being infected
with disease is erroneous, as the stat
utes (20SS) confers no such power
"And 1t is not always true" says
the decision referring to another in
struction of the lower court which is
also decided to be error, that the
owner of sheep who removes them
beyond quarantine limits prescribed
by lawful inspector and yet II he
acts beyond and outside Of the au-
thority reposed in him his acts are
void for in such case he has no jur-
isdictlon to act"
The court also denies that in cases
where the inspector merely suspects
that sheep have been exposed, that
he is the sole Judge, and that If there
had in reality been no exposure to
disease, the quarantine set up by the
inspector was unlawful and there was
no offense committed in breaking It
The decision of the district court
is reversed and a new trial ordered
principally on the ground that the
jury was instructed that the inspec-
tors right to quarantine was abso-
lutte, and gave the defense no oppor-
tunity to justify his breaking the
quarantine by showing that his sheep
had never been exposed.
