The case of Joseph Trout VS.. Viii
lard Trout, o. B. McNew ct al. &C.
cupied the attention of Judge Brad
ley's court Friday afternoon. The
case was for the possession of a
threSning machine outfit, and there
was much interest manifested in the
suit by farmers of Howard township,
where the principals in the case re-
side. After the examination of a
number OF witnesses, the court found
in favor of the defendant
w. G. Snodgrass, better known as
Uncle Fuller Snodgrass, died August
q, 1910, after a lingering illness of
several months. Uncle Fuller was
born in Tennessee Sept. p, 1888.
He was married to Miss Kate BaSker-
vile in 1865. He was a consecrated
christian man loved by every one.
During all his long and intense suf-
fering he was never heard to COM
plain. He leaves an aged widow,
sister and a brother to mourn hisfoSS,
but may Gods loving hand sustain
them. One Who Loved Him.
The best political joke Of the year
is that Of Gov. Hadley declining to
serve out his term as governor. Now
everybody knows, including Her
bert, that his race for Senator would
not interfere with his gubernatorial
job. The running would all be over
in couple of months. There would
scarcely be a chance in millions for
him to be elected senator by Demo-
cratic legislature. So why all the
talk about wanting to finish up his
four years in the executive mansion?
Looks like Gov. Hadley was turning
humorist. -Johnson Co. Star.
William Witt, prominent farmer
of near Merwin, and assessor of West
Boone township, was a county seat

uation real estate 1921, 5l9; valuation
personal property $67, 09l; bank stock

COLUMBIA COUNTY GOOD
ROADS WORK Is STARTED

DAYTON, Wash, March IA
Especial. )-Columbia county is soon to
have tangible results from the good
roads movement. Engineers from
Spokane in charge of ID. l.. Soltau and
employed by the state arrived yes
terday to survey for the first state
road through this county. This means
construction during the summer of
the first road, funds for construction
of which are supplied by the state
aid fund and the board of county
commissioners. The amount to be ex-
pended this year on road building in
Columbia county. according to Com
missioner A. P. Cahill, is $500. Com
missioner Cahill said:
1t is proposed to build the first
state road out of Dayton, commenc-
ing on West Main street and running
towards Longs station, a distance of
three miles. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the exact amount Of road that
can be built with the amount fur
nished. Surveyors will complete their
estimates within few days and work
will commence on the road shortly.
The commissioners favor a truck road
running through the county west to
east, portion to be built each year.
Later laterals will be constructed on
either side. Material to be used for
the new roads has not been decided
on definitely, but will likely be ma
cadam. Engineer Saltau will remain
here until actual construction begins
which will likely be two or three
weeks

Exchange
Exercise for the Children

Regular and systematic exercise cam
not be instituted too early in the train
ing of little children, and the results
will be doubly beneficial if the enjoy
ment of play can be associated with
the daily drill. There will nexer be
any difficulty in securing the child's
enthusiastic cooperation, for it is
natural for the little one to be active,
and when mother joins in the gym
nastics the result is foreseen.
l advise these light gymnastics, or
calisthenics, to be taken in the early
morning hours for about 10 minutes
each day. The clothing should be
comfortably loose and there should be
paid strict attention to the order and
work. Do not allow any foolishness
to enter into the exercise, and insist
upon a concentration of the mind,
which is always beneficial in this kind
of action.
The first exercise should be taken
after the command of Forward
bend" is given. Over the strong arm
of the mother the little chi should
bend until the hands touch the floor
This is not difficult for the soft, flex-
ible bones of little one. Have this
movement repeated four or five times.
then be taken. With hands on hips, a
backward movement should be taken.

straining of the muscles of the child,

People Prominent In
.....Public Paths. :.
JAS. T. HARAHAN.

They say that James Theodore Han
saws wood" but he talked the other
day when he said he was going to
retire from the presidency of the ILL
nois Central railroad and talked too
quick at that. For once Mr.. Hanra-
han reckoned without the enemy: in
this case, however the enemy" is
very comp imentary because it takes
the form of the directors of the /. c.
who say that they cannot spare him,
therefore he must give up the idea of
resigning for they resent, anyhow.
Mr.. Hanrahan is disappointed, of
course, but he says he will remain
with the road until the directors find
a man to suit them, when they will
make him chairman of the board of
directors.
James T.. Hanrahan must be tired
he has lived on it all his life. Born
in Lowell Mass, in 1S43 he began
work in the railroad yards as soon as
he was big enough to tote his dinner
bucket When the war broke out he
enlisted, but it happened that railroad
men were more needed than soldiers
where he was stationed. He began
as a sWitchman, but, because of that
eternal curiosity, for which he is ia
nous, he soon learned how to run an
engine. Then he just went on, and he
never got tired, for he was as big as a
horse. He never got angry. He never
got feathers on his brain. His career
was never sensational, but it was al
ways marked by efficiency.
The only time that he stayed long in
a subordinate position was on the Hi
nois Central, while Stuyvesant Fish
was president. Fish had the major
ity of the stock, but Harahan operated
the road. BY and by the stockholders
heard that Hartman planned to take
Fish out of the /. c. water, and they
made a disturbance. Hartman was
baked for a time. And then they
learned that Harahan was slated for
the presidents chair.
-'Oh, Harahan," they said. Now,
that's different Why didn't you say
500"
And Harahan was made president,
to the great rejoicing of the rank and
file.
Now he is old enough to pamper
himself a bit But instead of retiring
frim the presidency of his road he
has shifted his office force a bit, put
another man in to do the hard work
of operating it, and will try to take it
easy. But he will not. He will work

HOOKING VALLEY r. r. SOLD.
Chesapeake G. Ohio and Michigan
Southern Buy Holdings for
Biu Sum.

NEW YORK, Mar. 1S.-Announce-
ment was made today of the sale of
the Hooking Valley railroad and its
subsidiary properties to the Chesapeake
and Ohio and Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern Railroad companies. The
sale was contaminated by J. P. Nor
gan and company and the transaction
is said to have involved a large cash
outlay.
The Hooking. Valley railroad is the
successor of the old Columbus, Hook
ing Valley and Toledo railroad, which
was foreclosed in 1899.
Directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio have just authorized an issue of
$31, 100000 ALP per cent convertible
bonds. the proceeds presumably will
be used in part, to reimburse the com
pany's treasury for it's Hooking Valley
purchase.

Sir Ernest will proceed directly to

Returning to New York, the explor-
err will lecture in Carnegie hall, in

From New York, Sir Ernest will go

While Shackleton is in the United
