MONTHS OF PAIN
FINALLY ENDED
Henry Miller, Prominent German Cit
izen Near SchIeswig, Departs
Life After Long illness.
OPERATED UPON At ROCHESTER
Funeral One Of the Largest, and Re-
mains Accompanied to Cemetery
by Long Procession Of Friends

Henry Miller, a prominent citizen OF
near Schleswig, departed this life Sun
day morning at 8 o'clock, after an i'll
ness covering a period of severa
months His affliction came on him
early in the spring but it was not
definitely known what his ailment was
until some time in May, when it was
discovered that he was suffering from
a malignant internal growth, which
seriously threatened his life. He went
to Rochester, Mimi, and submitted to
an operation. but before the operation
was concluded it was discovered that
his case was hopeless and he was sent
home without any prospect of recov
cry. From that time on he gradually
declined until death relieved him OF
his suffering.
Henry Miller was born Sept. 2, 1855
at Ereer, Lippa Dekmolde, Germany
and came to the United States at the
age of 16 years, arriving here in 1871
when he worked near Davenport for
few years upon farm. He after
wards came to Crawford county and
for few years worked on a farm
near Schleswig. On the Goth day OF
September, 1881, he was married to
Miss Augusta Slender at Denison, and
Immediately after the marriage
settled on a farm near Schleswig in
Otter Creek township, where he lived
until his death. He is survived by his
wife and six children, namely:
William, of Bloomfield, Neb.; Henr.!,
of Otter Creek township, this county;
Ernest. Of Ida county; Albert, 1T
home; Mrs. Johanna Mohr, of Arch
wood. Lyon county. Iowa, and Mrs.
William Schmidt, of Ricketts,, besides
a brother, Conrad, of Gates, Wash !,
and in addition to ten grandchildren.
The funeral services were held at
the home at 12 o'clock on Tuesday,
and later at the church in Schleswig,
Rev. Wetzler officiating. after which
the body was taken to Morgan Gene
terry for burial.
AS an evidence of the esteem in
which the deceased was held, his re-
mains were accompanied to the cem-

REVIEW CONTEST
TALK OF COUNTY.
First Count Of the Votes Appears in
This Issue on Page Sixteen
Read Them Carefully
NOT TOO LATE YET TO ENTER
Contestants at Present Have Their
Eyes on Beautiful Diamond Ring
and It's Worth the Effort

In this issue will be found the result
of the first count of votes in the Re-
views circulation contest, and as will
be noticed a number of the young
ladies have already large number OF
votes to their credit. This is the first
count OF votes since the commence
ment OF the contest and We pred;ct
that in each succeeding issue the votes
will rapidly increase in numbers. The
young ladies who are taking part N
the Reviews contest as we'll as their
friends, appreciate the value of The
prizes that the Review is giving away
and all are diligently working to CAP
ture one of the grand prizes. We
were very much surprised that the
total number of votes credited to the
contestants would be so great, and it
certainly shows that the people of
Crawford county are generally inter
eSted in our great circulation contest.
The contest has just commenced
and it is not too late for young lady
to start work now and win one of the
beautiful prizes. There are several
localities in different part OF the cour-
ty where there are no contestants do
luS dCtlSe "OIh anu any young lduN
could commence now getting subscrip-
tions to the Review and be able to
win one of the eight grand prizes; in
fact. it is never too late to start AMI
those who start now will have the ad
vantage over those who will take part
later.
1t seems that all of the contestants
have their eyes set on the beautiful
diamond ring that will be given away
to the one who has turned in the most
money since the beginning of the con-
test up to and including October 7th
at p. m The ring is certainly worth
the effort and the young ladies have
nothing to lose as the votes obtained
during the special prize period will
count on the grand prizes awarded at
the close of the contest.
The weather the past week has
handicapped most of the young ladies.
but as the weather man has promised
us bright sunshiny days the last of

sum than has already been offered.
Those who have given the subject
close attention are convinced that it
will prove one of the most important
communities through which it will
pass. We believe that it will add
largely to the value of the property in
close proximity to it, and will even en-
hance the value OF property for many
miles away from it. A large number
of farmers and others living away
from it in the county have signifed
their Willingness to join in the move
ment and to subscribe for shares in
the enterprise.
The members were so pleased with
the offer of Mr.. Cornwell, publicly
stated at the meeting that he was pre-
pared to subscribe $1,000 and, if nee
essary, would double the amount in
order to have the association carry
out the purpose already adopted TO
have tht Transcontinental line select
ed as the route through Iowa, that a
resolution was offered and unanimous
ly adopted to the following effect:
Whereas, by the generous offer of
Mr.. Cornwell to take four hundred
(4OO) shares, if necessary, at $500
each, to secure ,le Lincoln Memorial
highway through Denison and Craw
ford county, it becomes possible to
send our delegates to Detroit and to
the headquarters of the Lincoln High
way association at Detroit, instructed
to pledge Denison and Crawford coun-
ty in the sum OF $4,000, therefore.
"Be it resolved, that the hearty
thanks of this body be extended to Mr..
Cornwell for his interest and benevo-
lence."
The best of feeling prevailed at the
meeting and it has been long time
since so much enthusiasm was mani
tested as on this occasion. We are
firm believers in the ability of Deni-
son and the Commercial cub to
handle great propositions when they
show sufficient merit to appeal to our
people. This is one of the most i'm
portant questions which has ever been
brought before them, and we are
pleasd to know that our people are
willing to rise to the occasion.
The Review this morning received
from w. C. Rollins and T. J. Garrison.
the delegates sent to Detroit, a mess
age sent last evening, as follows:
"Twenty-fve Iowa delegates here;
many more from Nebraska. Wyoming.
California and other states. All en-
thusiastic for Lincoln highway route
not to be changed. Plan to raise mon

We are pleased to note the good
feeling at the Detroit meeting and the
not to change the route.

BOARD ADJUSTS 1918 LEVY
Increase Over 1912 Levy Is One and
Six Tenths MiIls-Four New
Levies This Year.

1t will be noticed by the table that
the tax as levied by the board of SUI
pervisors is 1.6 mills more than year
ago. This increase in the levy may
be accountable to the fact that four
new leyies had to be made at this
time. The capital extension tax of
5 mills, state institution tax of .5 mills,
agricultural college extension tax Of
8 mills and the county road building
fund of 2 mills were not included in
the levy of year ago. In some in
stances the tax levy this year is less
than a year ago as will be seen by a
comparison of the two levies.
Below we print the 1913 levy as
made by the board Of supervisors, to-
gether with that OF 1912:

0akridge, Or, Dec. 12.-Lou Koch,
the well-known trapper, accompanied
by Alva Briggs, came over the noun
tains from Bend this week. They ex-
pect to engage in trapping about the
head of Salmon creek and Waldo lake.
They crossed the mountains on skis via
Waldo Lake, bringing the weather re.

There is about four feet of snow at
the lake. Lou Addington who starte

in as he was unaccustomed to the use
of skis and could not make his waJ

was almost irreparable. But this loss
of fourteen men seemed to make every
one about the squad work longer, hard
er and more willingly.
This spirit of the team ad the way
they worked, made all of us realize af-
ter the Oregon game that fThe Spirit
Of the Golden Westland," of which we
SO fondly sing is with us in the way
that surmounts every kind of hadicap.
Due to Students Support.
Every year since the writer has been
at Old Willamette we have in athletics
won one or more notable victories. The
fact that the writer is athletic director
leaves him in the position to state that
every one of these results have been the
outcome of superb support from the stu
dent body. This spirit being reflected
in the work Of our teams in their games.

against great athletic odds. Today l
admire her more than ever in the past.

all especially indebted to the able man

sity of Oregon in football.
The best of all from the writer s
point of view has been the splendid
way in which the boys on the varsity
and college team squads have worked.
The coach and the manager can do extra
work Of different kinds here at William

boys on the teams must get along with
a good deal that we need to obtain the
best results. The players have worked

SHIP KILLS SEA MONSTER
Captain Reports Striking What He
Thinks Was Species Of Whale.
Which Hung on Stem Of Vessel.

New York.-Recently persons on
liner were sure they had seen a sea
serpent fifty feet long forging its way
through the ocean at incredible speed.
Capt. ]. Tutt OF another liner, gave
this account OF a collision with
monster of the deep:
AT 1898 o'clock in the morning,
said the captain, IAN hour known as
the graveyard watch by marines. q
shock was felt at the fore part OF the
ship. The liner had left Santa Marta
on the day before. and was steaming
at sixteen knots an hour along the
Colombian coast toward Port Limon.
After the shock the ships speed
seemed to diminish. although the en-
gines were working we'll and the sea
was smooth. It was bright moonlight.
went to the bow to see what was
the matter, and found that we had
struck a sea monster. which l esti'
mated to be some forty-two feet long
and three tons In weight. The col
lision killed the monster, and 1t hung
on the stem so that we had to so
astern to get clear Of the body This
sank Immediately, leaving the surface
OF the sea a bright crimson"
The captain said that the body had
broad stripes on the back and head.
with patches like textile prints the
size Of hand on the sides. 1t was
q species of whale now almost ex-
tinct, he thought. The shock aroused
the passengers. who came on deck to
look at the dead monster. One OF the
officers said that many strange ser
penis and large fish had been seen
In the waters of the Colombian coast
in the last three years Of a species
that had not been seen there since
the days of the buccaneers on the
Spanish Main. They thought that the
blasting in the Panama canal had
disturbed them In their submarine
caverns and driven them to the sur.
face Of the sea.

LAYING Out Flower Beds.

Why do people plant flowers In
beds? Everyone does 1t, and there IL
hardly one in q hundred that knows
why they plant them In beds instead
Of singly and scattered or some other
way. They do 1t because everybody
else does it.
Planting flowers is good deal lihE
growing whiskers in some ways. Right
after the Civil war every man grew
O full beard, because so many OF the
returning heroes had boards through
necessity that they made whiskers
fashionable.
That's why we plant flowers in beds.
Because the other fellow did, and still
does. But fortunately there are mighty
good underlying reasons for SO doing,
whether we understand them or not.
In the first place, the herbaceous or
soft stemmed plants usually look bet
ter in masses, lines or other groups. A
large or continuous mass Of color
makes q strong impression upon the OBJ
server where few scattered blooms
would be ignored. A single soldier is
unnoticed, but the marching Of reg
iment thrills the very soul. So 1t Is
with flowers, and this cumulative ef-
feet is the biggest reason for massing
them together.
Perhaps the only other immediate al
tentative would be to scatter them
about over the lawn as they occur in
nature-a group Of blue here. single
pink there, etc. This is all very well
for the yard that il kept in wild
state, but it will never do for the I'm
ished city Or suburban lot. It makes
fair, smooth lawn impossible and
the combination Of natural flower ar
rangements and polished gardening &C
cessories spoils the effect Of each one.
As far as possible, the beds should
be kept at the outer edges Of the lawn
to avoid cutting 1t up and making 1t
look small. The old.fashioned, formal
beds-round, square, star-shaped, dia-
mond or crescent-are not In good
taste now, and the lines Of the beds
should be irregular, although clearly
defined. This applies to every walk
borders, to a lesser degree. although
we personally like a straight lined bed
near q straight lined walk.
Ifit is necessary to place small beds
out in the lawn, the round or oval bed
Is probably the best In form and It
should contain low flowers, 80 as not
to hide the landscape back Of It.
Beds should be dug deep. thorough
ly fortified and pulverized, and the
edges cut clean and smooth with an
edging tool. The earth should be gem
tly crowned from the edges to the CEN
ter, to provide drainage. Do not plant
the flowers so close to the grass a. to
interfere with clipping the grass at
the edge Of the lawn about the bed.
