COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
To Be Held al G. "A. r. Hall To-
Night Everybody Invited

The next meeting Of the Com
mercial Club will be held Friday
night March Z, at the Grand Army
hall, which is being wired for
electric lights and will be ready for
use by that time. The Club has
already out-grown its former
quarters and it was necessary to
secure larger room. The meeting
will begin at 1880. and all members
and everybody else interested in
the Improvement of the community
should be present.
Several matters of Importance
are to be discussed at this meeting.
The delegates to the meeting of the
Missouri Federation of Commercial
Clubs at Moberly will tell Of what
they learned there of the plans for
improvement in all parts of the
state. Linn county should do her
share in the work, and the enter
prising citizens of Jefferson town
ship are not going to do less than
those so unfortunate as to live else
where.
Several propositions regarding
the appointment of farm adviser
will be discussed. This is matter
that many counties of the state
have already undertaken, and looks
like a big step in the right diree-
tion. A number of other matters
of local nature will be brought
up, some of which are also of
especial Importance to the farmers.
Every farmer who can get to the
meeting should attend, whether he
has Joined the Commercial Club or
not, because much of the work
that is planned Wdl DenenC Gh0
farmers directly, and others only
| in an indirect way, while other
propositions may benefit the town
first and the farmers afterward.
Good roads, good markets and
good prices for their farm products
appeal directly to the farmers,
while plenty of work at fair prices
would mean much to the town.
There are many things that can
fbe done in the near future if the
people of the town and country get
together and all pull in the same
direction, and the sooner the start
is made the more can be accom-
plished.

The Shepherd Of tho Hills, X
which comes to the DeGraw on
Tuesday. March IL is a dramatiza-
tion Of Harold Bell Wright's novel,
the dramatization having been
made by Mr.. Wright and EIsbnry
w. Reynolds.
The Shepherd Of the Hills is
an intensely spellbinding story of
love, mystery and heroic daring;
it gets a grip on life and brings
peace to the soul Of any man or
woman who reads ii.
The woods and hills are part of
Gods handiwork. They will give
peace and strength to all who seek
them. From this play you may, !,
in some measure, feel their in
fuenee and know some Of the ways
of divine providence.
You will ask Of this story, Are
the characters in the play real
people9 Does the old shepherd live
only in the pages of the book or on
the stageG Is there D Sammy Lane
and Young MattYn You will say
they are all very familiar, and you
seem somehow to have known them
a long time. The scenes may
seem new and yet old. If You go
to the Ozark hills, you will some-
where find a sheep ranch in Mutton
Hollow and a Dewey Bald, But it
lis from a long house above the
mists that you will view these hills
and forests and take of their peace
and strength.
That inspiration Of the old shep-
herd and his friends will come to
you also as you follow the old
trail that is nobody knows how old.

GAME HUNTERS SEE
A BIC GAME FIGHT

After a month spent hunting in the mountains above Donnelly's on the Valdez trail, Lieutenant Asa L. Singleton, of Fort Gibbon and Dr. R. R. Meyers of this city, returned Tuesday evening with the limit amount of game allowed by law. They report having had excellent shooting and enjoyed their outing immensely.
 The returned hunters state that they witnessed two fights between animals of the forest to which man is rarely fortunate enought to be spectator. The first battle was between two giant caribou, the leader of the herd and another who would usurp the supremacy. The aggressor was victorious and the busted caribou then hastened for more congenial climes, but the hunters killed both the victor and the VauQuished.
 Later the hunters saw a battle between a large eagle aud moun- tain rsm which lasted nearly twen- ty minutes. The mighty bird swoop- ed down upon the ram, determined to catch it by the back but each time the ram would get up on it's hind legs and conduct stubborn de fense with its forefeet. After sever al unsuccessful attempts the eagle gave up its attack and flew to a tree where it could watch its prey. AS in the former case, the contest ants fell to the guns of the hunt CTS, Dr. Meyers6 shooting the ram while Lieut.. Singleton brought down the eagle. The bird when it's wings are spread out measures 8 Feet frln tip to tip.--Fairbanks Cit. izen.

TERRIBLE CONDITION OF
 THE WESTWARD NATIVES

Valdez, Nov. 17-MarshaI Bren- neman has received a wireless com munication from Deputy Marshal Armstrong of Kodiak, telling of the terrible conditions existing among the natives in that section, who are dying all along the coast, where an epidemic of measles has broken out.
 At Afognak no cases have been reported and so far three natives have died in spite of the efforts of the people in that town, who are doing everything possible to stamp out the spread of the disease.
 Ten deaths have been reported from Kariuk with a large number of cases still in danger. &'
 Twelve days ago twenty cases had been reported from Kagnaik and several deaths are expected in that village.
 Kodiak reports only ten cases and that the precautions already taken by the authorities will prevent its spread. When the first notification of the disease reached Kodiak the school was thoroughly fumigated an new quarters provided, and later on school was dismissed and all public meetings stopped.
 Marshal Brrnneman has notified the governor of the conditions to the westward and has also wired to Washington and 1t is expected that the Department of Education will ask for the dispatch of revenue cutter adn a number of doctors with anti-toxin to Kodiak and the other villages along the coast.
