DECLARES GOVERNORS
ACTIONS SINCERE
HAS NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE
IN FAVORING GOOD ROADS
President of Highway Improvement
Association, Defends Governor West
Against Critics Who Try to Make
Political Capital.

Portland, Ore Oct. 20.-"AnyOne
who says Governor West is aiding the
good roads movement for political
effect is, at least, mistaken" declared
President Carlos r. Prall Of the Ore
gon Association of Highway Improve
ment yesterday. Mr.. Prall was anger
ed by reports that the governor has
been supporting initiative highway
legislation and convict labor on roads
because of an ulterior motive.
I'm tell you what the governor
did" continued Mr.. Prall. The as
sociaton is preparing to submit to
the initiative the highway bills draft
ed by the statewide committee that
the governor appointed In the course
of our work we submitted copies Of
the bills to the governor for his in
spection. After he had seen them, in
spite of the busy duties that occupy
the governors time, particularly in
the mornings, Governor West called
me over long distance telephone to
/ tell of his interest for the success Of
the bills and the forwarding of the
campaign and to express his approval
/ of the measures as drafted.
His is not the selfish interest of
| the politician but the broader inter
est of the citizen who is willing to aid
/ worthy movement while his critics
are so busy attempting to destroy good
work that they have no time for do
/ ing any good themselves.
/ There was never time in the his
/ tory of this state when the prospect
I for securing the passage Of adequate
4 highway legislation was so bright,
added Mr.. Prall. With the governor
of the state leading the movement
with the development league and com
mercial clubs actively enlisted, witt
the transportation agencies and tn
more intelligent farmers enthusi
astically in favor of the broader goo,
roads program, We have a force o
good, generous citizenship that l d,
not believe can be defeated by tn
narrow selfishness of cheap politics
"The Oregon Association for High
way Improvement has one objective
This to secure the general improve
ment of the states roads. We hav
in mind the benefit of no one elias
above another. We believe that ou
highways must be built, improved an
maintained else Oregon's develop
ment will be handicapped. I chal
lenge any one to prove any other mo
tive"

IO1 YEARS OLD
HALE AND HEARTY
Mr.. W. Il. Yohn Is a Remarkable
Mantle Has Lived II Very Active
Life. But at this Advanced Age Still
Retains His Health and Strength.

William B. Yohn of l2S North Sew
erth street, Reading Penn, celebrated
the one hundredth and first anniver-
sary of his birth on May 4. Mr.. Yohn
was born in 1910, and recalls many
of his country's early struggles along
the frontier. In 1887 he went to
Reading, and has resided there with
his family ever since. Since 1864 he
has resided in the same house, which
he built for his ownw use.
He has always been actively en-
gagged in business, following pursuits
that called for physical endurance
and bravery, being at. various times a
miller, constable deputy sheriff and
auctioneer. Notwithstanding this
vigorous life. he looks and feels fine.
Mr.. John attributes a considerable
part of the wonderful length of his
! life to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
! which has been consistently used by
! him whenever he felt the need of a
tonic stimuant. In letter to friend
recently he said, in part:
81 wwas 1O1 years of age May 4th,
having been born in 1910. For a good
many years have used Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, with very fine results.
I have always felt much better and
stronger after using it. 1 attribute
my long life to the use of pure Ii
uuors taken moderately all my life
AS a medicine l could recommend
nothing better than Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey."
When men and women pass the age
of sixty they need remedy that will
quicken the circulation, brin restful
sleep, invigorate the brain and pre-
vent decay. Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key is the only agent that will pro-
duce these happy results. 1t improves
the digestion and assimilation of the
food and gives tone and vitalit to ev.
cry organ in the body.

A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN

The sympathy and charity of the
world goes out to the suffering,
the mentally afflicted the physically
drfolmed, but it is only of late
years that this has been wisely
extended in the most proper
direction, so as to furnish medical
examination and training to gro -
Jig school children. Perhaps one
LOT the most notable examples of
this kind is seen in the recent
action ofthe principals Of one Of
the largest public schools in
Boston.
Noting that certain children in
different classes wrce frequently
absent on account of illness, were
poorly developed, underweicht,
and backward in their studies, an
outdoor schoolroom was fitted up
in a somewhat sheltered corner of
the school yard. in the fresh air
and sunlight, and during pleasant
weather the regular work of the
classroom was carried on under q
special assistant.
In addition to the change to the
open air, the children were sup
piled each day at recess, both
morning and afternoon, with a
81 ass of Horlick's matted milk,
hot, and as the result of tho fresh
air, and the hot food-drink, the
experiment proved a marvellous
'success-a phenomenal improve
ment in the condition of the
children at. once began. The
children were brighter. the eyes
and complexion were clearer, and
tho average gain in weight in a
month was over three pounds for
the whole class. several showing n
gain of ten and eleven pounds.
In addition. the regular teachers
note with much surprise the
sudden gain in mental alertncss.
interest and voluntary effort Of
these formerly backward children.
We can appreciate the great
influence of purcr air and rich
nOurishing diet upon The mentality
of the children, which delighted
and surprised the principal and
school physician. who advised the
trial. Exchange.

SOMEBODY SHOULD
Be PUNISHED

According to the story told in
the Reno Jouranl, there should be
strict investigation Of the death
of Mrs. TiIda Lindval at the
asylum last Friday night. II
appears from the report that she
was committed to the sylum from
Goldfield last Thursday. She was
examined by a sanity commission
and declared insane. Friday
morning she was placed on the
train and taken to Reno by q
deputy sheriff and nurse. When
she reached Reno Friday night,
she was in dying condition and
died shortly after reaching the
asylum. The nurse who accom-.
panied her stated to Supervisor
Bingham that she had protested
against the removal of Mrs.
Lindval from Goldfeld and had
not expected her to live through
the journey.
A coroner'S jury investigated her
death and found that acute
preitonitis was the cause OF death
and that she was FASTENED to her
death by the gross incompetency
of the physicians who examined
her and the officers who COM
mitted her to the Nevada Hospital
for Mental Diseases; that she was
rather a subject for a hospital
and medical treatment, and that
they could find nothing to show
that the woman was insane at any
time. The jury called the atten.
ton of the Esmralda county grand
jury to the case.
An autopsy revealed the fact
that the woman was critically i'll
and in urgent need of medical
attention. This fact was brought
to the attention of the jury at the
inquest.
1t is hoped that the death of
this woman will be thoroughly in.
vestigat d and the facts brought
to light. The story as told has a
bad look and reflects discredlt
upon the physicians who pro-
nounced this unfortunate woman
insane. when she was nearly dead
with peritonitis. If there are
physicians in Nevada who do not
know the difference between
peritionitis and insanity. they
should be put where they cannot
practice on the public.

short time ago, and, discharginG
the ernine of tho bench he armed
himself with the necessary tools
and PROCEEDED to his cIhim, the
Alfus, which is located about S.
600 feet east of the Bourne mine.
The Judge has partners in the
claim, but not waiting to get them
together. he commenced digging
Il cross-cut trench to cut a lead
which he had reason to believe
ran in to his properly. After dig
ging around short distance he
was rewarded by cutting into a
blind lead three feet in width.
The ore is characteristic of II c
pay stuff found in this district. 1T
is pure white. sugary quartz,
resembling very much the ore on
the Buckeye. 1t is all pay. The
lowest assay taken shows a value
of $40 a on, while the highest was
$500 toh.
In my last letter told of a
strike on the Bacon group, located
in the Fifth Crater. Now comes the
True Fissure Mining company,
which is about a mile north of
the Bacon interests ard seven
miles from Jarbidgc, with dis
covery of continuation Of the

CUrmick has had William J.'wGll,
an experienced prospector, looking
over the company's ground for
some little time md his search has
been rewarded by finding a lead go
feet wide that pans well the whole
distance. A conservative estimate
Of the mining value Of this large
lead is placed at $1,000 per ton.

mile east Of Jarbidgc m d north
Of Judge Rays Alfus. The claims
arc owned by Hodge Brothers Of
Bruncau. but are now under lease
to Harry DeIse. The shaft is now
100 feet deep. 1t was started on
a stainger of quartz which has
widened out to four feet at the
present depth. The ore is high

not be given out by the owners.
A party who PANIED some of the
ore says he would judge the value
at $50 ton. H.
