FELL OUT HOTEL WINDOW
TWELVE FEETTO SIDEWALK

Joseph Packard, paper maker from
McDill, went to the Hammer Hotel
in this city Monday night at 1890
He was given room and retired. At
3 O'Clock a. N. Herman Smith, the
night Waterman. found him lying on
the cement sidewalk in front of the
Hammer hotel lying in his own blood
with scalp wound, star shaped, about
inches in diameter. He was I'M
conscious and remained so until 3
O'Clock today. He was intoxicated
and it is believed from appearance
of his room that he went to the open
window to vomit and in the act of
vomiting fell out head foremost to the
cement sidewalk below. He had no
other injuries except what he suffered
to his head. At this writing he is
still unconscious. He had been hired
to go to work in the paper mill here
by the Consolidated Pulp & Paper Co..
and was to go to work this morning.
Doctors Pomainvllle and Looze are
attending him.

JACK PINE is
NOW VALUABLE

The Jack pine, formerly despised
because of it's Sappy, porous nature
and frequent knots is now being
found valuable for railroads ties, since
it absorbs the creosote or zinc cblor.
ide universally used now as preserva.
tives, very readily, 1t is also used fol-
some grades of pulp. The hardwood
forests have not been heavily operated
until late years, and there are still
magnificent stretches of them in
OcOnto, Forest and Polk counties,
The supply of white pine, valuable
for it's lumber, and of hemlock,
which in addition is used for paper
pulp and In tanning operations, is now
very limited, and therefore the supply
must be carefully handled. Much
that is used today was formerly
thrown away as slash and left TO
feed the forest fires. Our present
law requires lumbermen to dispose of
their slash as they go: And in addi-
tion the state fOresterS can now, to
some extent. supervise the cutting;
they mark off enough young growth
to be left, TO make good beginning
for new growth to take the place
of that which is being cut, and this
the lumberman does not cut. If the
trees had had this protection twenty
years ago, we would now possess an
unequaled belt of forest land, instead
of having so much of it to plant over
again"

ATTEMPTS
SUICIDE
Grows Tired of Life and Tries
to Shuttle off This Mortal
Coil"

1t was rumored about this morning
that Geo. Leturell ST., who resides at
the home of his son Geo. at 326 It'll
Ave. N. had made a strenuous effort
yesterday afternoon to depart from
this mundane sphere of ours before
nature had called him.
1t appears that Mr.. LetureU has
been acting strangely for some time
especially when under the influence of
intoxicants of which he had been par
taking quite freely of late.
On Saturday afternoon he walked in
to Sam Church's Drug store on the west
side and addressing Mr.. Church called
for half ounce of laudanum, with
the casual remark that he was tired
of life and wanted to be relieved of it's
burdens. Mr.. Church, never think
ing for a minute that the man was in
earnest, sold him the drug called for,
which he took home with him, but
unWltt1ngly left in a place where
it was shortly afterwards discovered
by the feminine members of the family
and spirited away before he could
make use oft. The family having
some how surmised The old mans in
tention, were on the look out for Just
such capers.
Yesterday morning. shortly before
twelve O'Clock he stepped into the
Otto Pharmacy and called for a SINH
lar dose, namely, one-half ounce of
laudanum. with the complaint that
he was suffering from a bad case of
toothache. The medicine was given
to him as per request. which he paid
for, and then went on his way rejoic-
ing presumably stopping az some way
side grog-shop in order to fortify him
self for the contemplated ordeal.
Retiring to the privacy of his room
after dinner for his accustomed siesta
he was later discovered by members of
the household in an unconscious con-
dition with the empty flask by his
side, which plainly told the story. DR..
| Rockwell was hurriedly summoned,
and arrived just as the would be sui
eide was regaining consciousness.
1t seemed that the superabundance
of aqua vitae which the man had i'm
bibed before attempting to take his
| departure from this ''vale of tears
had some how counteracted the effect
of the poisonous drug, and thus
| thwarted the victims strenuous at
tempt to leave all cares behind.

HANDSOME NEW HOME

D. f. Carey's new house is now
ready for the hard oil finish. The
furnace is installed the plumbing
and piping all in place ready for use.
The inside finish is all on, and is of
hardwood and yellow pine The ar
rangment of the house is excellent
and was largely designed by Mr. Carey
so as to meet with his requirements
in his invalid rolling chair. The
doors on the ground floor are
wide so as to permit his rolling chair
to be admitted into any room on
ground floor even into the bath room.
They have spared nothing in making
the house convenient and comfortable
for his services. When entirely COM
pleted it will be warm, comfortable
and convenient throughout in which
Mr.. and Mrs. Carey will find pleasure
in spending their remaining days
They hope to be able to occupy the
same the fore part of August.

DEATH OF
MATTHEW WHITE

1t was considerable of surprise to
the many friends of Matthew White
to learn of his death Sunday morning,
July 10Th. He has been confined to
the house more or less since last Janu-
airy, but was about the house until
within week Of his death. He had
been troubled for some time with
Brights disease of the kidneys and
this was finally the cause of his death
which occurred Sunday morning.
Matthew White was born in the
county of Louth, Ireland, on March 16,
1915, and was therefore 63 years of age
when he died. He came to this
country with his parents when he was
three years old. They settled at Ran
dom Lake, Sheboygan county, Wis.
When he grew up to manhood he set
tied in Salem, South Dakota, and
lived there many years. He was
married to Miss Katherine Nash at
Random Lake in April 1887. While
he lived in Salem he was elected
state Senator and was sheriff of Nc
Cook county for four terms. He was
a Democrat in politics, but was
elected in Republican district show
ing his individual popularity.
They came to Junction city, Por-
tage county, in April 1894, and then
to Grand Rapids in 1901. He followed
farming most of his life time. He
leaves his wife, but no children to
mourn his demise.
The funeral service took place this
morning at o'clock at the Catholic
church which was largely attended by
relatives and admiring friends. Father
Reding officiated. His remains were
deposited in their last resting place

DECKER WRITES
ABOUT THE WEST
Eugene, Oregon, July 16, '0S.

LuS6nc. OIeSOn, y ulg 10, 10.
There are many trips in the west
that have their moments of splendor.
But a trip along the Columbia river
has no moments that are not filed
with beauty and novelty. There is so
much that is undisturbed. With ali
its development of recent years, there
is still the wide. wild freedom of the
west; and it must ever remain so.
Every city and town along the south
bank Of the Columbia river seems to
have been located with an eye to
scenic beauty. For more than three
hundred miles the southern Pacific
follows the south bank Of the Colum-
bia river and the northern Pacific the
northern bank, both following close
to the waters edge, yet they are from
one to two miles apart. The two
lines of steamers plying between
Portland and The Dalles add both
convenience and beauty.
On this trip one sees nothing but
scenery, There are no green fields or
fertile farms in sight. At the Dallas
took drive back from the river and
after climbing to high table land
found many fruit farms where cherries
and apples seemed to reach perfection
But the river is the center of at.
traction. Everywhere large fish
wheels may be seen revolving slowly
dipping the great yellow salmon out
of the water for the canneries.
The new steel railroad bridge, cost.

Pacific Railroad Company at Van

THE FIRST FARMER
OF WISCONSIN

What Ex-Gov. Hoard says on state
aid for country roads:
In my judgement. nothing has
come before the people OF the state in
many years which means more to the
future progress and development of
our commonwealth than this very
question of state aid.
The farmer is especially interested,
if he can but see the question in its
true light. There is powerful
pressure of public sentiment for the
improvement of our roads. The
farmer has resisted this pressure be-
cause, as matters now stand, the
main burden OF construction would
come on him, but if the proposed
amendment to the construction is
arried, then all the property of the
state is placed under contribution fol
this important object.
Then again, there is no man in the
state who is more vitality interested
from the hard cash stand point, in
having good roads to his market town
than the farmer. The nearer to town
his farm lies the greater its value
and the more it will sell per acre. A
good macadamized road that can bt
used in all kinds of weather and al
times of the year for the heaviest
loads, practically reduces distance
fifty per cent for, double the load Car
be handled and if need be, the dis
lance can be travelled in half the
time. Wherever such roads have beer
built, the effect has been to, at once
increase the selling value of the farms
adjoining from $40 to 500 per acre.
These are hard practical reasons
looking to an increase of farm value
and wealth, and l believe they liz
within this proposition of state aid tx
