SHY, SAYS OSBORN
Governor Wishes Secretary Of State
Martindale To Explain What
Became Of 5000.

II want to know what became OF
that $1,000 that was given to the pub

That was the succinct reply given
by Gov. Chase S. Osborn to the attack
made upon him by Frederick c. Mar

When the appropriation for the pub

Osborn, this year. he clipped II from

tarded, fatally, the work of extending
the forestry service In Michigan, and
he let his disgust be known when the
recent forest Are brought matters to
crisis.
But in investigating the work OF the
commission, Gov. Osborn finds that
So, 900 OF the 0,000 appropriated can
not be accounted for, and where this
went is what he wants to know.
"If I had known how badly the af-
fairs of that commission we're being
conducted as far as finances go.
would have vetoed the whole appropri-
ation." asserted the governor. And he
looked as II he meant IL.
II do not care for the personal
TRADE that Mr.. Martindale Is making,
nor do think the citizens OF the state
care about that. He has not explained
the use to which $4,000 of the states
money was put and that is what
want to know"

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM c. FRIEDMAN.
No. 100.

The other day young Ger
man came in to see me about a
plan for advertising a bottle for
babies. He secured the patent
rights for America from a Ger
man manufacturer, and he
wants to advertise. He has
only $4,000 that he can spend in
advertising.
Before he came to see me he
had consulted with an advertis-
ing agency and the masager of
that agency told him that HE
MIGHT BE ABLE to make an
impression with an expenditure
Of $4,000 in A FEW newspa-
pers in New York city.
He had about given up the
idea of starting an advertising
campaign because he DID NOT
HAVE $4,000, and HE DID
NOT KNOW WHERE he could
get 1t. Besides, he DID NOT
FEEL LIKE BORROWING ST.
900 to put into something that
ne was not sure would bring his
money back.
We must all remember that
while advertising is good

UTED TO THE SUCCESS OF

theless there is not one of us
who can prophesy TO A GER

HAS THRILLING
EXPERIENCE

William Evans, who lives with
his family at the Twelve-Mfle house
on the Hamilton road, and is en-
ployed by Thomas Dixon in looking
after his cattle and horses, met
with a most unusual and thrilling
experience last Tuesday that re-
suited quite seriously for him.
With a two-horse team he went
to SHELTON last week for a load of
supplies. on his return Tuesday.
when in Railroad valley, about so
miles from Eureka. he discovered
that the supplies IN the front end
OF the wagon were on fire. He
made an unsuccessful attempt to eX-
tingush the flames. and while do
ing so his clothes caught fire and
he was compelled to jump from
the wagon. In getting out of the
wagon he received a bad fall and
before he recovered from this and
succeeded in putting out the fire
in his clothes, he was severely
burned on the calf and upper por-
tiCn of his left leg, and one of his
hands is so badly burned that DR..
Roberts, who dressed his. wounds,
says he may lose several fingers.
When Evans jumped from TIE
wagon the team ran away and the
entire load of supplies (nearly a
years provisions and the wagon
were consumed, but the horses soon
released themselves and were so
badly frightened that they str
out for the hills.
Evans had to walk several miles
before reaching the nearest ranch,
where he received such aid to his
injuries as could be given him, then
he was furnished with a horse.
From there he rode to the A. C.
Dibble ranch in Diamond valley,
whore he was given a fresh horse
and continued on horseback to Eu-
reka, arriving here early Thursday
afternoon On his arrival here T.
Dixon called DR.. Roberts to at
tend to the case, and Evans is
now reported to be getting along
as well as could be expected, con-
sidering the rough experience he
passed through.
The fire that broke out in the
load of supplies is said to have
been caused by dollars worth of
matches that were wrapped up in
paper and put in a box, instead of
being packed for safety in a tin.
Mr.. Evans is particularly unfor-
tunate. About a year ago while
cleaning out the well at the Twelve
Mile house the rope broke and he
was precipitated to the bottom of
the well, falling some 40 odd feet
and breaking one of his ankles. Be-
fore fully recovering from one seri-
Gus accident he has met with an
lother.-Eureka Sentinel.

"She told me that | should be very,
