FAIRBANKS HEARS
 FRISCO WIRELESS

As attesting the efficiency of the radio station at Fairbanks an inter- esting incident occurred few days ago when the operator of the Fair banks station was able to pick up the San Francisco radio talking to Homo lulu. While the messages could be heard distinctly enough to be under stood they were still too faint for com mercial purposes, but this fact is at tributed by the operator to the unfavor ableness of the weather conditions prevailing at the time. He states that frequently under the most favor able conditions, the San Francisco ra- dio has been heard quite distinctly.
 There Is, of course, no possibility of the Fairbanks station being able to correspond with San Francisco, as the sending power of the instruments there are not nearly strong enough. The receiving of messages from the coast city Is made possible by the fact that the wireless plant there is one

The Modern Light is
With Baxter.

The Columbus Modern Light
strongly favors the arpropria.
ton asked for by Baxter and
Spring Valley boosters, for the
new rock road. 1t says in part:
1.-TWO of the commissioners
it is said were finally in favor of
granting the request made by
Baxter and Lyon township, but
owing to their inability to bring
over the other, the proposition
was rejected. The final amount
asked for was $500. The fund
now is pretty low but the June
tax of some 81, 900 for roads will
soon be in and on the first of July
the automobile tax will be in.
This is larger than one would
think. The assessors report of
March showed there we're 402
taxable automobiles in the coun-
ty then aud over 100 have been
sold since then. AS the county
gets a tax of $4.75 each out Of
them, this fund will amount to
some $1,000, so that the $500
would not have crippled the road
fund materially, The Baxter
representatives were very much
incensed at the attitude of rejec-
tion.
In view of the fact that either
the road south from Blake's or
Hoover's corner will be designat-
ed as a county road, the appro-
priation for this little piece OF
road would not be amiss. Then
the county commissioners were
going to or had agreed to give
six hundred dollars on the Bax-
ter Chetopa road and when that
road was turned down It was ex-
pected that the commissioners
would be as willing to help one
as the other. All that was asked
in this case, as a maximum, was
$4OO. The delegates showed
that $1,000 is being expended on
the road and thought the pro-
portion small for the county.
And the county was not solicited
except as a last resort"

a stranger dressed in overalls, who
offered samples, from two bales of
cotton he wished to sell. Mr.. Stuck
ey wishing to assure himself that the
samples were genuine, accompanied
the stranger to the freight warehouse,
and saw the two bales of cotton. He
promptly bought them and gave his
check at fraction oven ten cents

stranger had boldly rolled one of
these bales of cotton away from a
lot which already marked was stand

He had cut away the original mark

trOying all signs that tho cOttop ba
