OBITUARY
POLLY f. rozER

POLLY +. TOZER
Polly F. Tozer war born in Hull,
Canada, July 80, 1912. In her early
childhood she moved to New York
with her parents, and later moved to
Wisconsin, where she spent the
greater part of her life, being one of
the first settlers. For eight years
she was in California with her
daughter, Ruth, with whom she
spent many happy days. Wishing
to once again see the familiar faces
of relatives and friends, she return
ed to her old home for the last part
ing. She peacefully passed to niger
Joys, where sorrows never come, on
May %. At her side were loving
relatives, whose devotion was most
constant. Hel remains were Gre
mated and laid away in the Green
wood cemetery.
Her bright presence we feel here no more,
Yet we know it radiates above.
It has vanished, as does the flower,
To bloom in the realms Of love.

People using the "Salton hill"
road, were seriously considering
whether or not we had any town
officers at all to notify as to the con-
dition of the road at that land many
other) places. 1t was certainly a
disgrace to the district and town.
But just before patience gave out en-
tirely crew was set to work. and
it is to be hoped, will make the
hill road passable at least. 1t is a
shame the road was allowed to get
into its present condition. That the
present system of road supervision
will stand a whole lot of improve
ment seems to be the opinion Of
most of our people.

Looking Ahead.

A couple of years ago cranky
sort of an old man came into this Of
flee and stopped his paper because
in it did no. just suit his
fancy. We have frequently met him
on the street since that time and it is
amusing to note the look of surprise
on the old fellows face that we are
still in existence regardless of the
fact that he stopped his paper. Some
day-and it won't be long either
that old gentleman will turn up his
toes. His heart will be stilled forev-
er. Neighbors and friends will fol-
low the lifeless clay to the silent
city and lay it to rest among the
flowers. An obituary will be publish
ed in these columns telling what a
kind father, a good neighbor and a
beloved citizen he was-which the
recording angel will overlook for
charity's sake, and in a short time
he will be forgotten. AS he lies out
there in the cold, cold graveyard
wrapped in the silent slumber of
death, he will never know that the
last kind word spoken of him was by
the editor of that paper which in life
he so spitefully "stopped.' Did you
ever pause for a moment and think
that your editor, whosoever he may
be will write your obituary some
day?-Milan Standard.

Osceola's Deep Well Being Tested.

The work on the deep we'll has
reached a depth Of 400 feet. The
drill is passing through porous sand
stone that seems to lie in a bed OF
water. Of course this is not definite
ly determined.
There is now 1925 feet of water
in the we'll which makes it difficult
to estimate the exact nature of the
strata in which the drill is working.
The big pump will be put to work
and if the test proves that there is
an abundance of water there will be
a glorious celebration of the event
by the citizens of Osceola. The town
is without water and the people have
become impatient waiting for the
prospect of securing water from the
deep we'll. Upwards of $4,000 thus
far have been expended in the work
and until this week it looked as If
the effort might have to be abandon
ed. The city authorities have ar
ranged with the C. B. & @. to provide
water for fire protection by the city
keeping a man at the @. pump house
during the night time. The whole
town is aroused by the recently de-
veloped prospect which seems almost
too good to prove true.

A BurdensOme Ruling.

Led by ''Private' John NJ. Dalzell,
the Grand Army of the Republic is
assailing a recent order of the COM
missioners of pensions that civil war
veterans seeking pensions must fur
nish proof of their family name,
their employment for the ten years
preceding 1860 and produce a Bible
record of their family: The DIRECTORS
claim this virtually would annul the
benefits intended for veterans under
the Sherwood law, which contemplat-
ed increased pensions under simpler
provisions.
Many deserving veterans would
suffer, it was contended, by reason
of the commissioners ruling, for
many would find it impossible to
comply with the requirements. This
it was pointed out, was especially
true of the negro veterans, many OF
whom were born in slavery.

Under the County Engineer.

Good roads in Franklin county are
fast becoming q reality instead OF
dream to be fulfilled. The work done
on the county highways this summer
makes a splendid showing and stands
up well beside the work of other
counties. Under the direction Of coun-
ty engineer A. G. Baker, who acts
under the suggestion and approval of
the state highway commission, four
permanent bridges of steel and con-
crete have been built this summer,
twelve concrete culverts have been
constructed and ten miles of perma-
nent roadway are nearing compile
ton.
OF the 1,1O4.25 miles of public
highway in Franklin county, 1878
miles or 14.37 per cent have been
taken into the county road system.
Thirty miles of permanent roads have
been surveyed and forty miles of pre-
liminary work has been done
throughout the county. OF the ten
miles of road nearing completion,
portion of this is located southeast
J. of Geneva, another near the county
line north of Ackley, another two
miles east of Burdette and another
six miles northwest OF Hampton. The
construction of the road varies in
different localities, but the general
plan consists of grading the dirt to
the survey, rounding it up to shed
water and then applying a surface
that will make is hard and smooth.
In sections of the county where grav-
ell can be obtained nearby, this will
furnish material for the surface and
where crushed rock may easily be
obtained that will be used.
The county roads are those which
connect market places, such as the
various towns of the county, all 9TH
ers compose the township system.
The width of county roads is thirty
eight feet from fence to fence, the
bitches measure six feet wide, lcaV-
ing an actual roadway of tWenty-six
feet. The township roads are two
feet narrower The cost of building
permanent roads varies from $500 to
81 ,000 per mile. In some parts OF
the county steam outfits are used,
while in other places the old method
of grading is employed. Local labor
is used where it can be obtained

HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE

Murch Kennedy who has about
recovered from an operation in the
Denver hospital, where he had
about sixteen inches of intestine
removed at two operations, relates
some interesting experiences which
came under his observation during
the weeks he was confined. Many
of the incidents were pathetic
and some very laughable.
He says the patients are not
allowed to see the saws, knives
and other surgical instruments
either before or after the opera
tions. They are put under anaes-
thetic in one room and wheeled to
another where the operating table
awaits them.
Murch says doctors are the most
cowardly of any patients who 90

he mentioned case where a doc
tor had toe amputated and was
so afraid he was going to die that
he had two nurses attend him both

HIGH GRADE ORE is
FOUND NEAR STUNNER

The greatest strike of high grade
ore made in the district this season
was made the latter part of last
week by McClusky e. Stewart,
seven miles west of Sumner on the
Continental Divide. The samples
were brought to this camp and
assayed by Jack Nelson, and while
the parties were convinced that
they had struck some good values,
they were not expecting the rich
returns they secured.
The ore ran 81 ,44O.0O in gold
and silver to the ton, mostly gold.
Outside of the rich streak of high
grade, they have -four foot vein
which averages $9.S8 across the
crosscut
Mr.. McClusky who is doing the
prospecting says they have three
claims with good value on all Of
them. They are proceeding to
take out the high grade ore, the
extent of which can not be estima-
ted until more development work
is done. A shipment of the ore
will be made in the near future.
This part of the district may be
expected to come to the front
rapidly.-Platoro Miner.
