Mrs. Fred Voiut

Our people were shocked Sunday
morning to learn of the death of Mrs.
Fred Voigt of Lamoille valley. 1t was
not generally known that she was
seriously ill and the news of her death
came as peal of thunder from q clear
sky.
Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Voigt
gave birth to baby boy. She seemed
to be getting along nicely until Friday
afternoon when she took relapse. DIR.
Hood was called Saturday morning and
reached her bedside Saturday afternoon.
He did all he could to restore her
health. but she was beyond earthly
help. At 3 o'clock Sunday morning as
the shadows of night began to fade
away the summons came and her pure
spirit passed to the blissful realms of
the unknown world. ,.
Y, Mrs. Voigt was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Drown, whose home for
many years was at South Fork. She
was born at South Fork on the 18th of
July. 1874. In 1889, the family moved
to Elko and she, two sisters and
brother entered the public school The
writer was then the principal of the
school and knew her Us q pupil until
1881 when he gave up teaching. She
continued in the school next term and
graduated with Mrs. David Barley of
Ely and Miss Lille Rosenstock of
Chicago. 1t is not amiss to state here
that the bond of friendship that began
in the schoolroom between the writer
as teacher and Miss Ida Drown as pupil
continued undimmed until her death
left the writer but q memory of by
gone days. ..
On November IL, 1908, she was
married to Mr.. Fred Voigt of Lamoille.
Three boys, the eldest three years of
age are bereft of mothers care. The
husband, father, mother, four sisters,
Mrs. Ed. Lytton of Elko, Mrs. Frank
Winchell of Glover valley, Mrs.
Clarence Ernst of Fruitvale, California
and Miss Lucretia Drown of Elko,
and three brothers. Fred, Charles
and Arthur, all residing in this
county, survive her. They have the
sincere sympathy Of the entire COM
munity in their bereavement.
One of God noble women passed from
earth when Mrs. Voigt ceased to live.
She was a loving daughter and sister,
an obedient pupil and devoted wife
and mother. There is gloom and dark
ness in that home. where she reigned as
wife and mother. But through the
gathering darkness comes a voice
from beyond the clouds, saying:
"Mourn not, your beloved rests in the
arms of her Savior. Free from pain,
she sweetly sleeps"
The remains were brought from
Lamoille Sunday morning and taken to
the undertaking parlors and prepared
for burial. They were taken to the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Lytton this
afternoon.
Mrs. Voigt was devoted member of
the PRESBYTERIAN church and her funeral
will take place from the church to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Friends and acquaintance are re-
spectfully requested to attend.

PITTSBURG WINS
 N.LEAGUE TENANT
 FOR FOURTH TIME

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 29.-Pittsburg, this years champions won the Nation al League pennant in 1901, 1902 and 1903, this being the fourth time and giving Manager Clarke the distinction of being the only man in the National League to-day with such a record. Only three other managers of major league teams ever had a better record, they being Anson, Selee and Hanlon, whose teams won rennartS five times.
 Five players on the Pfttsburg team at present hold the record of being the won the pennant four times. They are Manager Clarke, Shortstep Wagner, Centerfie1der Leach and Pitchers Lee yer and Phillippi
 Pittsburg is the best hitting team in either, major league, having 1,282 hits triples and "A home runs, and is sec bnd in fielding, Chicago being first.
 The Pittsburg team is remarkable in the fact that thessecond. division of it's lineup is the hardest hitting aggrega- tion of any second division in any Abstein. Wilson and Gibson, having batted in more runs than the second division of any other team.
 An interesting feature of Pittsburg's winning the pennant to-day is the fact that OConnor was catching for the ciinched and the only other game he caught this year was on May 5. when his three hits helped PittSburg defeat Chicago, thus placing Pittsburg in the lead in the race. Catcher George GIb- son has caught 130 consecutive games. this season, which he will likely do, he will have undisputed claim to a worlds record of the number of conse- cutive games caught.

GOVERNMENT FORESTS OF
 PRUSSIA WE'LL MANAGED

Prussia has National Forests, cover ing nearly 100000 acres. which are made up much as if the pineries of the Southern States of this country and the forests of some of vthe Middle At lantic and Central States were conn bined. When forestry was begun by Prussia, a great part of the timber land had been injured by nismanage- ment, much as American forests have been, and the Prussian foresters had to solve the problem of improving the rundown forests out of the returns from those which were still in good condition. They solved it with strik-- ing success Immense improvement has already taken place and is stead fly going on.
 The method of management adopted calls for a sustained yieldTthat is, no more wood is cut than the forest pro- duces. Under this management the growth of the forest. and consequently the amount cut, has risen sharply. In 1880 the yield was twenty cubic feet per acre; in 1865, twenty-four cubic feet: in 1890. fifty-two cubic feet. and 1904, sixty-five cubic feet. In other words. .Prussian forest management has multiplied the rate of production threefold in seventy-five years. And the quality of the product has inn proved with the quantity. Between 1880 and 1904 the percentage of saw timber rose from nineteen per cent. to ffty-four per cent.
 It is a. striking fact in this connec- ton that in the United States at the present time the people use about three times as much timber as the forests grow. If we were everywhere prac- ticing forestry with a resulting inn provement equal to that made in Prussia, the forests of this country would be growing as much as we use.
 The financial returns in Prussia make an even better showing. Net returns per acre ill 1850 were twenty-eight cents. In 1865 they were seventy-two cents; in 1900. $1.5s; and in 1904, $250 They are now nearly ten times what they. were sixty years ago, and they are increasing more rapidly than ever.
 These results have been obtained i11a Prussia along with, almost ideal tech nical success. When what is wanted is sustained yield from the forest year by year in the long run, it is clearly necessary to have always certain number of trees ready to be cut; there must be a proper proportion of trees of all ages. This percentage has been secured and maintained with almost mathematical accuracv

 Practice started in the baseball cage on account of wet weather, but was later transferred to the stadium field, which was used for the first time this reason. Only signal work was tried, as the men were given hard scrim- mage Monday and are being saved up for the game to-day. The only feat are of the day was the shift of Perry Smith from the line, where he has been playing up to now, to the back Held, where he played last year. Smith has been used at centre hitherto this mean that Paul Wilmington will be kept permanently at centre and that Smith will be used as halfback or full- pack, where he played last year in the Yale game.
 slight change has been made in the coaching staff this week, D. w. Knowlton, i04,5 replacing Crawford Blagden, who was here last week cO&ching the tackles. Blagden will re- turn later in the season. H. Foster, or, captain of the 1906 team has been appointed permanent coach of the sec- md eleven.

Owing to the scarcity of rain dur ing past months, the mills have been steaGily drawing off the water from Wood Creek, Norfolk. \ As a result, the fish in the pond were gradually driven toward the center and confined in the narrow limits of the channel, and the dry bottom of the pond was soon covered with thousands of fish. It is estimated that several thousand fish a cay, including perch, pickerel, bullheads and smaller fry, were taken out for over a week. A number of them escaped through the open gate and the banks of the small stream that empties the pond were lined with dead and dying. fish for upwards of a mile and a half.
