Americas first and only woman gov
ernor. Mrs. Carolyn B. Shelton, now a
resident of this city, recently told a
story of the events that made her the
chief executive of Oregon. for one
week, In 1909.
United States Senator George Z.
Chamberlain was governor at that
time. and Mrs. Shelton was his private
secretary. The ONCE of lietenant gov
ernor did not exist. The law read
that In the event of the chief execu-
tive's death, the secretary OF State
should become governor. During the
temporary absence of the governor
however, II had become the custom for
his private secretary to act as head OF
the state until the governors return.
Previous to Gov. Chamberlaip's In
cumbency, private secretaries to the
States highest officer always had been
men. Regardless of the fact that Ore
gon was not an equal suffrage State
In Gov. Chamberlain's time. he al

governor whenever he had occasion to
leave the State.

his employ while still In her teens. Al
present she also performs the duties of

tary Affairs. an important body.
Mrs Shelton does not wear square
toed boots; her features are not triangIes,
nor is her hair short. nor does she wear
spectacles- On the contrary. she is a

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS
Board Of Equalization Finds Many
Complications Caused by New Tax
Laws-No Firearms Assessed.
ONLY % WATCHES ARE LISTED

Slow progress is being made by
the county commissioners, who with
James l.. George, county auditor, are
now in session at the court house rs
the board of equalization. Many
complications are caused by the nu-
merous mistakes of-the various asses
sors of the county in interpreting the
provisions of the new taxation law
and this fact adds much to the work
of reviewing the assessments.
The board showed much surprise
yesterday when attention was called
to the fact that in Bemidji only
twenty-eight watches and clocks,
valued at Sal, were assessed, while
not firearm of any kind was listed
on the books of the assessor. The
figures of the assessor showed that
the rugs and carpets of Bemidji are
worth but SIT, while with the ex-
cepticn of pianos, all musical instru-s
ments of the city, including phono-
graphs, are worth only $84. Bau-
dette shows greater assessments in
listing these items.
Another interesting fe allure
brought out by a glance at the as
5sessment books is that Bemidji has
only SIG worth of dogs. ,Baudette has
SIS.
Every member of the board was.
present at the meeting today and sew.
.eral parties appeared before them ask
ing assessment changes.

EXHIBITS STATE PRODUCTS NJ CAILLAUX ACQUITTED
Wild Scenes, Cries of ''Murderess''
MARKS Courts Decis1onn-Most Sen n
sational Trial in Paris History.
UNDERWENT SEVERE ORDEAL

Paris, July 29.-Madame Caillaux
was acquitted on the charge of hav-
ing murdered Castor Calmette, by the
court here yesterday, following one
of the most sensational trials in the
history of Paris, and during which
the accused has undergone an ordeal
few women would face without a
shudder and few could bear up under.
When the acquittal was announced
Madame Caillaux staggered, then
threw her arms around the neck of
her counsel, Fernand Labor. Her
hair was undone, and her hat DROP
ped to the floor. Spectators stood
upon the desks and chairs, and
"Chaillau! Labori!" and cries "Cail-
laux, assassin were merged into
one.
The din was deafening. Several
groups of barristers came to blows
and republican guards, in an en-
deavor to separate them, joined in
the melee. The spectacle of Labor
and Chenu, the latter counsel for the
Calmette family, embracing each
other, Gained the tumult for a mo-
ment, but it was re-doubled when
they left with Nine. Caillaux.
Thus ended one of the most SEN
sational trials with which the Paris
ians courts have had dealings. The
session Of the court yesterday was de-
-, voted to speeches by counsel. Ma
dame Caillaux collapsed during the
rourse of the address of Maitre
Chenu, who scored her bitterly. The
speech of Procurator-Gene Her
baux was unusually mild. ..,

not drag a dry road.
One Inch Per Foot.

The slope or crown of an earth
road should be about one inch to the
foot. If the crown becomes too high
it may be reduced by dragging to-
ward a ditch instead of from it. If
the drag cuts too much, shorten the
hitch and change your position on
the drag. If it is necessary to pro-
tect the face of the drag with strip
of iron, it should be placed flush with
the edge of the drag and not project
ing. A cutting edge should be avoid
ed as the main objectzin dragging is
to smear the damp soil into position.
