would not have occurred.
Women as a rule. are careful
chauffeurs. But am opposed to any
person driving car until they have
+ first passed an examination. A woman
IS not as competent to drive as man,
and for several reasons. Her life does
not bring her into contact with sterets
and tralic conditions as much as a
man. Necessarily she Is not as com
lpetent to judge distances and speed
nearly so accurately.
"A woman attired in a close-ftting
dress cannot stop as quickly as a
man who is dressed In loose fitting
suit. Then again, she has not the
physical strength, as rule, of man,
and it takes strength to stop the aver
age auto quickly.
There is bill before the legisla-
ture which seeks to govern these mat
tiers. 1t will, if it becomes a law,
force any person who takes out H.
cense for car to pass an examina-
ton before he or she can drive 1t.
And that is right and proper. They

carelessness or, recklessness. Both

Driver Bond, who presides at the
wheel of the auto truck hauling ore
from the Dividend-Lake View mine to
town, met with an accident at the mine
Saturday that marred the beauty of
the car. AS he ran up to the ore shoot
to load the car skidded on the snow
and ice, and the hood was torn from
the front by the impact. The driver
was lucky escaping without injury.
The accident was wholly unavoidable.
The members of the Christian En-
deavor gave a social affair in the Pres

at which a large number Of invited
guests were entertained. The amuse-
ments embraced vocal music, blind

joviality that floated out upon the
night air it was evident that the par

Mrs. Kitty Garnett died at her home
in the Bonaparte neighborhoOd last
Thursday from complications growing
out of an attack of grip, and the re-
mains were buried in the Nelson GEM
etery Saturday. The deceased was a
widow, 3S years of age. and leaves two
children. She was a niece of Louis
Risley, we'll known resident of that
part of the county. The deceased was

Faye Harris has just returned from
a long stay in the British possessions
to the north, in the districts where
the land boon is on. He says prices
of real estate have taken the areoplane
route, and yet there seems to be buy
ers at gilt edge figures. The land, al
though having an ice berg subsoil, will
raise wheat. Indeed the foundation OF
ice is an advantage, supplying mois-
ture. during the brief summer of the
north land. Mr. Harris will probably
stay with Oroville awhile and then
fit to other fields for change. He
never gets so far away but that he can
drift back at regular intervals.
