and to keep them from wandering
away.
Through Bitter Root Valley.
Before reaching Deer Lodge valley
number of the wagons containing
| Messrs. Cady, Steele, Cisson and others
separated and continued their journey
toward Salt Lake. This left but eight
wagons to continue the journey over
the mountains. On they went into
Bitter Root valley, over rugged trails
and down to Walla Walla.
At one place they turned aside by
mistake which was probably fortu-
nate circumstance. Others who had
gone on the main trail were massacred
by the Indians but the pioneers from
Sauk county escaped moleStation.
Indians Steal An Ok.
At another point they were visited
by number of Indians who desired
to purchase arms and ammunition.
They had been cautioned not to do
this as there was danger of being at
tackled later by the same treacherous
redskins. Mrs. Spirlock says that the
Indians were we'll armed. During the
night after the INDIANS visited the
camp one of the oxen were stolen.
They never saw the animal again and
no doubt the natives would have
taken every animal if they could have
done so and left the travellers stranded
in the unknown and almost trailless
country. The wagons were now so
near empty that there was no diff
Guilty in getting along without the
one animal.
This journey of the Sank county
people into the west was so early that
they were the first to pass over a road
blazed by Lieutenant Mullen. Houses
were few and days would pass with
out seeing a civilized being.
Bessie Went Along.
The problem of eating was the most
serious one on such journey. Be-
fore leaving Omaha plenty of flour,
bacon, crackers, dried fruit and other
necessities were stored in the wagons.
1t was necessary to take enough
flour to last for there was not wheat
field or -four mill ahead of them.
They had a sheet-iron stove and
from time to time a stop would
be made long enough to bake bread.
Yeast cakes were carried along and
in order to do the baking and washing
it was often necessary to tarry
day or so in camp. This gave the
cattle a chance to rest and the
housewives an opportunity to do the
washing on the bank of some babbling
stream or by friendly spring. A
number of COWS were hitched TO the
wagons with the oxen and these gave
milk which was great luxury on
such long journey. Bessie was
useful animal in more ways than one.
There were no potatoes to be had.
Mrs. SpirIock says that they would
have given a great deal for bushel or
SO of big Sauk county tubers.
Not All Was rIerry.
In most respects it was grand pic
mic for the young folks since they as
sumed no responsibilities and had few
cares There was one thing unpleas-
ant, however, which they could not
escape and that was sore eyes. The
alkali dust kicked up by the plodding

Mr.. Post EIec ted.

G. F. Post of Spring Green was re-
elected highway commissioner, the
salary having been previously fixed at
1900 and expenses. An attempt was
made to make the expenses a lump
sum but the motion was lost.
Supervisor Welk then called for a
speech and Mr.. Post said that he
thought he had made speech enough
in his discussion with Mr.. Horkan.
(Laughter.) He said he would try to
run the business the same as if 1t were
his own and that some might be hit
and hit hard. AS far as possible he de
sired to consider the wishes of the
chairmen of the towns but it was TO be
understood that he also had some de-
sires. He could not be in all places at
one time because he was not seven
men, only one.
New Law Full of LoophoIes.
He said that the new law was very
complex and that some common sense
must be used. He had deep interest
in the good roads and hoped that all
the members had also. He worked for
less last year than he ever did but that
made no difference, for he desired to do
the best he could. He spoke of some
of the tilts with the state highway
commission and said they were hold
ing up some of the contracts at the
present time. IF the delay should con-
tinue much longer the roads could not
be built next year.
Some member of the board then
wanted to know if the state aid law
was a good thing and Mr.. Post said
that be was not prepared to answer

May a woman, says the Blake

dressed in silk and enveloped in
perfume whose husband hasn't
had a decent suit of clothes or a
decent meal in five years. Yes,

a pipe stuck in his face, his tank
full OF booze and his mouth full of

wife hasn't bad a new dress or a

When the news was first fash
ed over the country that fifty mil
lion dollars had been secured for
the relief of the cotton grower
who desired to hold his crop for
better prices, there was great
rejoicing, but the full text of the
Wall street proposition leaves
but little in it for the man for
whose relief it was supposedly
designed.

''The upturnsd Face. ;"

That means the buoyant spirit
that shows itself in the corners
of the mouth and the general cast
of features as opposed to the
dropping air OF detection that
goes with failure.
Everybody likes to see bright

ries an air of success and victory

it. Obstacles give way with a
surprising readiness and the
good things of life seem to be at
tracted. The II will" man al

smile playing round his eyes and
mouth and the upward turn of
features generally.

What, at one time. promised to
be the most disastrous fire ever
occurring in Chipley, was avert
ed Monday morning by the Judi
cious use of water from the Chip
lev water works plant. For, had
liz not been for the water works
and heroic work by those hand
ling the hose, the loss would
probably have amounted to a
quarter OF a million dollars,
About 10 o'clock Monday morn
smoke was seen coming through
the roof of r. c. Horne's dwell
ling and in just a few moments
more the whole roof was ablaze.
The alarm was promptly given
and in a few minutes a large
crowd had gathered and was do
ing valient service in getting the
things out of the house, In the
meantime the hose had arrive and
two streams of water were play
ing on the fire, and in a short
time the fire was under control
and danger to other property
averted. However, the fire was
not entirely extinguished until
the top and practically all of the
inside of the second story was
burned out.
Just how the fire originated is
not known. The damage to the
the building will probably amount
to 81, 500, and Mr.. Horne had on
ly 81, 900 insurance on the build
ing and no insurance on house
hold goods. A good portion of
the furniture, ETC., was saved,
but we understand that his
daughters, Misses Mary and An
mis-, whose rooms were on the
second floor, lost nearly all of
their wearing apparel.
The burning of his home is a
serious loss to Mr.. Horne, and
especially so as he had such a
small amount of insurance. And
his friends sincerely sympathise
with him and his family in their
loss,

At the time the fire on Mr..
Horne's house was at it's height,
a burning single was blown $50
feet, landing on the roof OF the
Dekle old store building and in a
few minutes the roof of that
building was blazing. Fortu-
nately, however, this fire was dis
covered before it had gained any
Roadway and was easily extin-
guished with a few buckets of
water. Had the fire on this build
ing gotten beyond control the en-
tire block would doubtless have
been burned.

The FIRE Monday morning dem
onstrates the fact that ChipleY
has a good water works system;
likewise, it demonstrated that
there is need of an orgrnized fire
department, furnished with the
necessary equipment for proper

required besides hose; and we un.
derstand there are only two noz-
els.
We hope the town council will
take this matter up and arrange
some plan to secure the necessa.

POLICE WANT
THEIR MONEY
January Checks Have Been
Held up This Month.

The police OF the 99th precinct
station, Tottenville, like all others
throughout the greater city, are anx-
iously waiting for the payment Oh
their salaries for the month OF jan
uary
From present Indications the men
will have to walt until the fifteenth
of this month before they r paid.
1t is said that this delay Is due to the
action OF Commissioner Cropsey In
postponing the issuance of the pay
rolls from the usual day. the tWen-
tieth of the month, until the 31st.
Mr.. Cropsey takes the ground that II
is impossible on January 20th to GER
tify an officer as having worked the
full thirty-one days He further
states that the question is one which
might at times form the basis Of
action in the courts and fearing le-
gal complications, he declines to ac-
eept the risk. There Is something
like a panic In the police department
by this announcement. The men in
the ranks, a large majority Of whom
are unable to carry their salaries
hovord the month. are discouraged
at the prospect Of the waiting so
long for their money.
Some time ago the police took a
vote In regard to the semi-monthly
pay plan. After the vote had been
counted, 1t was found that eighty
per cent. of the police voted for 1t.

has turned it down. In the mopth
