MRS. C04H|k TO ASYLUM
SENT TO PRISON FOR MURDER OF
HUSBAND COA@dITTED TO
INSANE ASYLUM

In the Saltwater news of the Mime
apolis Tribune Of yesterday is an item
to the effect that Mrs. Mathilda Coll
mix, who was sent to the state penlten-
tiary for life from Morrison county for
the murder Of her husband, has been

out having regained consciousness.

THE CITY CAN GET TWO Elk
OFFER MADE BY SEATTLE B. P. o,
E.-CRATING AND SHIPPING
ONLY COST

The Exalted Ruler Of B. P. o. Eiks
Lodge No. no is in receipt OF tele-
gram from the Exalted Ruler of the
Seattle Elks lodge, asking if the city
of Little Falls could use two elk at this
time by paying the Grating ana ship
ping expenses on the same. He asked
an Immediate answer and the exalted
ruler of the local lodge wired him for
information as to the weight AMI age
Of the animals, so as to ascertain the
cost of getting them here. The answer
was that the animals weighed about
500 pounds each. This would indicate
that they are not young elk. ..-.-...-...... -.
AS local people will remember it was
thought that two elk could be secured
'7c,n the Yellowstone National Park
!ast March and a subscription list was
r Hated and over 500 secured. It
med out that the city could not get
e elk from the park and the Seattle
,odgewas written in regard to getting
two animals from them. The local
lodoe received no answer to the in
quiry at that time as they evidently
did not wish to dispose of any elk. The
money subscribed therefore was not
used and could now be applied on the
cost of getting the elk from Seattle.
The total cost Of getting the animals
may be 800 to 1925, depending upon
their weight. The subscription list may
be circulated once more and the local
Elks lodge has promised to contribute
a goodly share Of the money in order to
get the animals. y
Seemingly the only thing which
would prevent getting the elk at this
time is the temperature. At Seattle
the weather is now mild whereas the
temperature has been rather low here
during the past week or so, and it is
feared that the animals coud not with
stand the great change. However, the
matter will be definitely settled soon,
and if the elk cannot be brought here
now, arrangements will be made where
by they will be held in west until next
spring. The matter was taken up at a
special meeting of the Elks lodge last
night, but it was after press time and
no particulars could be obtained.

l9 inches. And the earth which com
posed the bed Of the road was the same
as that alongside Of it. The reason for
the hard roadway was that layer after
layer of earth had been put on by
I means of the road drag, and each and
every layer was packed and rolled by
the traffic.
After relating his experiences with
, the road drag Mr.. King told how to
make the split log drag and how to
use it. He had full size drag on the
! svM IT Aoq etdoed qua peMoqs pue eSg4s
made. As light drag as possible
should be used, he said. The proper
time to drag the road is after rain,
when the ground is moist but not
sticky. Run the drag on the right
hand side of the road and then back on
the other side. Repeat this several
times. Under usual conditions four
! rains and four draggings will put a
very poor roadway in first class shape,
but sometimes it requires six draggings.
Four draggings after that number OF
rains will leave the center of the road
high 80 that the water will run of.
If you want to make the road wider
plow a furrow On each side Of the
road, turning the furrow toward the
center Of the road, and then drag the
road. In this way you can make the
road any desired width.
In his closing remarks on good road
work Mr.. King stated that he would
send every person who promised to
build and use a split log drag, a pam.
phlet, containing useful suggestions
along the lines Of road building am
maintenance. He then called upon the
tion in regard to the drag, roads OF
road work.
One of the questions asked was
sandy road7' Mr.. King answered
that the drag works very good on a
sandy road, but such roads can never
be as good as clay or gravel roads. He
suggested as a rem:cy tor sandy roads
that clay be spread on at a depth OF
about an inch and d half ut :. time, by
means Of a manure sFreader. Let the
traffic pack the clay AMI when the
sand begins to show plainl, apply an
other coat Of clay. Keep this up sever
al times and use the drag on it and the
sand trouble will disappear. Another
person asked if good gravel woult
make better roads than SIND and clay
to which Mr.. King replied in the af
frmative. The gravel road will staue
much heavier traffic than the sand ant
clay road, he said.
After answering the various quea
tions the speaker announced that tn
t--s;.ecc ~cr - 7:itt!n Tolls had dacid
red to. stimulate the good roads move
ment by Offering prizes for the bes
dragged road. The prizes will b
awarded as follows:
$50 in gold for khe best mile Of loI

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Sydney s. D. Kaye)
Basketball

4 The high school basketball auint met
very unpleasant surprise Saturday,
Dec. II, when they played at Royalton.
Royalton led the boys into some very
lively playing the first half and a lit
tie less so in the second half. When the
timekeeper blew his whistle the score
stood % and %. Richard Meyers sue
ceeded in making basket and the final
for Royalton.
The boys were handicapped to a
great extent as they have been in the
habit Of using considerable amount
Of team work in practice. This was al
most impossible at Royalton because Of
the very small playing floor.
IS No return game has been scheduled
to. be played with Royalton at present,
but it is hoped that in the near future
We will have one.

at last the final squirt is made, the
final ascent is ended and the summit
is reached.
In one particular the mountain full
fills the promise made from here, the
summit is point. Not more than
10 feet in diameter at the top. 1t is
composed of a pile of lava rock,
thrown together by some great con-
vulsion of nature. Hidden away in
which souvenirs of various kinds
have been left, and wherein there is
the book where you register, giving
your name and the date of your as
cent. In metal tube two fine maps
of the surrounding country are to be
found. The register is full of names
and curious indeed are the memen-
tos left in the box. Hairpins gave
evidence of the fair sex, pipes and
tobacco of the stronger one, empty
and loaded cartridge shells, anything
and everything is to be found in the
book.
AS to the view from the summit,
to the south and east and partly to
the north we were able to see, but
the west was shrouded in fog, great
ly to our disappointment. The
klamath lakes and valley, Mount
Shasta and surrounding hills, and
once, as the clouds lifted, Mount
Scott and the rim of Crater Lake
were to be seen. The wind was blow
ing very strongly and 1t was as cold
as January. so we did not linger long,
but descended a short distance and
found a shelter from the wind is the
rocks, where we ate our dinner and
washed it down with snow water.
The descent was uneventful. We
came down the south side of the

Phoenix to Talent is torn up, cross
the railroad tracks at Phoenix and
take the foothill road around by the
old Reames place and intersect the
main road at Talent. The above
roads are very good indeed.
If the road is torn up south of Tai
ent then you want to turn east at
the Phoenix bridge (do not cross the
bridge) and take the road on the
east side of Bear creek all the way
around to the Eagle mill at the foot
of Jackson hill. This road is good
all the way around except two small
hills east of Talent. This road rs
about four miles longer than tho
main road to Ashland, but you avoid
the almost impossible passing of the
different Improvement squads.

j. S. Howard writes in the Medford

as follows:
To the Editor: / have often real
lied when l have been out motoring
for pleasure that a little information
regarding the condition of the differ
ent roads would have saved me much
discomfort of heavy or lately i'm
proved roads and might have in
formed me of some roads that were
PLEASURE to drive over. One thing
have in mind is the condition of
the road from Medford to Ashland
since the reconstruction of the same
has begun.
To avoid the main road where
grading and paving is under way
take tile road out of Eastman street
and go either by the Hillcrest orchard
or the road by Barneburg's to the
road running south by the Sam Van
Dyke place and cross Bear creek at

road to Ashland; If the road from
