How economically the German sol
diers live in the field may be seen
from the officially established fact that
the soldiers of single division sent
back to their homes $4,000 between

HUCK FINN STILL
ALIVE In OREGON
MARK TWAIN'S POPULAR HERO
OF BOOK NOW NINETY
YEARS OLD.

EUGENE, Ore, April 21.-Huckle-
berry Finn, Mark Twain's famous
character is 80 years old. And even
with ninety years behind him, this
robust old man, toughened to the
fibre of old hickory, his eyes still
bright and with the full vigor of q
man of 80 years his junior, recalls
wildly his steamboat days spent with
Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer on the
gray Eagle the fastest steamboat on
the Mississippi in its day He tells
with thrill of the great boat race as
it really occurred with Samuel L.
Clemens, himself, as pilot.
For forty-six years Huckleberry
Finn has been a character of the Nc.
Kenzie river in Lane county, oregon,
The entire Mckenzie valley has
known him as long as he can remem.
Der, and the thousands of fishermen
who annually cast for redside trout in
its swift waters know Huckleberry.
They have listened to his stories, and
many have wondered IL this charac.
ter, B. F. Finn, is the same "Huck''
Finn Of whom Clemens wrote.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
TOBE HELD N COURT
HOUSE NEXT MONDAY
PEOPLE WILL MEET IN MASS
ASSEMBLY TO DISCUSS THE
BOND ISSUE.
FOR BETTER ROADS and Pixies
Meeting Will Be Free-for-AlI Affair,
in Which Every Citizen and Tax.
payer Will Be Asked to Participate
and Speak His Opinion.

The Board of Trade has issued a
broad invitation to every commercial
organization and to every citizen OF
Maury county to attend the mass
meeting at the court house next Mon
day morning at 1890 o'clock in the
interest OF good roads.
More specifically the meeting will
be to discuss the proposed bond issue
of 100000 to buy the present private
pixies, rebuild them and to construct
new roads. 1t is meeting in which
every citizen, every taxpayer has an
interest.
The meeting will be addressed by
several of the prominent farmers and
business men from every section OF
the county. The Board of Trade
wants every corner, every part of the
county to be represented in the meet
ing There is going to be nothing cut
and dried about the meeting, and a
! full, free discussion will be engaged
in.
The good roads question is the
most vital, the most pregnant before
the people today. Public sentiment
has gradually grown, and private dis
likes of the toll gate system has
steadily spread until the general pub.
lie is about ready to take the decisive
step toward public ownership of all
roads. Furthermore, they want bet.
ter roads. They are tired Of riding
in the mud and water, slush and slop,
and paying upon pixies that are hard
ly better than common country roads.
The meeting will be held in the cir
cult court room, in order that all OF
the people may be accommodated
There is pretty likely to be some in
teresting 'doings," for there are
some opponents of bond issue. who
are about as strong in their convic-
tions upon the matter as those who
favor it.
