Huntington, June 6.-Formal no
tees that the Chesapeake & Ohio
after nearly forty years of quietude
will exert its claim to a right OF
way, 100 feet wide along Third
street and Twenty-third street, are
the cause OF small panic among
real estate men and property own
ers along these streets.
Not only the positive action OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio in urging its
title, but the discovery that the
streets had never been dedicated to
the city and that the railroad II II

general stir OF comment within

HAVE COURSE IN MATRIM0NY
Mothercraft, and Domestic Sci
ence in Les Angeles, Cal.

Los Angeles, Gala course of
matrimony has been included in the
curriculum of the Gardens Agricultural
High school here. Five classes OF
girls are daily taking advantage of in
struction in courtship, matrimony, the
care of babies, mothercraft and do
mestic science.
1t is planned that boys in Los An.
geles shall be permitted to take the
course next year, but some doubt is ex.
pressed about the need of this. 1t is
argued that 'the female of the spe
cies" will be so adept in the matter
of courtship and marriage by the end
of the year that she will have little
difficulty in imparting her knowledge
to the less deadly male.
The girls are taught how to- deport
themselves during courtship, and I'm
structed in household management
home dietetics, housekeeping &C
counts, dressmaking, millinery, anG
even in such practical matters as how
plumbers are supposed to do thei,
work and how much they should be
paid.

GETS STARVED ROCK
State of Illinois Buys Historic
Tract for SAC, 900.
People Gain Possession of the Pictur-
esaue Site on Illinois River Where
the Indians Made Their
Last Stand.

Ottawa, Ill-Starved Rock passed
into the hands of the state of Illinois
recently, when negotiations were con-
cluded between the Illinois park COM
mission and Ferdinand Walther of
Chicago, who has owned the property
for the past % years. The papers
signed and exchanged show that the
state paid the sum of $4,000 for the
290-acre tract, which it Is expected
will prove to be the nucleus Of one of
the finest state parks in the country.
The new state park preserve lies
ten miles west of Ottawa on the south
side of the Illinois river, and in addi-
ton to Starved Rock proper consists
of precipitous cliffs, canyons and glens
which rival many of Americas most
famous scenic wonders.
No spot in Illinois is richer in his
tory or legend than Starved Rock,
which was visited by the early French
missionary explorers and was also the
scene of numerous bloody conflicts be-
tween Indian tribes. Upon its lofty
summit the Illinois warriors made
their last stand and after being
starved were finally eXterminated by
their enemies.
The fight for the requirement of
Starved Rock by the state for park
purposes may be said to date back to
the forty-sixth general assembly, al
though there was considerable previ-
GUS agitation in favor of the move
! ment.
At that session Of the legislature an
act was passed authorizing the ap-
pointment of a commission to investi-
gate and report on the preservation of
certain lands for public parks, and an
appropriation of $1,000 made to pay
| the expenses Of the commission
The members of the commission
which closed the deal are Prof. ]. A.
