COLORADO MOTHER SEEKS KNOWLEDGE
 OF LEON HATTEN

letter from a Colorado Springs mother to her son who is located at
 Hawk Inlet asks the latter to do
 what he can to ascertain whether
 or not Leon Hatten, her boy, had
 ever been in Alaska. The follow
 ing excerpt from the letter telIs
 the story and gives the clue to
 the reason Leon Hattens mother
 thinks he might be in Alaska:
 "I do pity any boy who has not
 a mother to love him and pray for him and always have faith in him.
 For ] don't believe there is any
 love In this world as strong as a
 mother has for her BOY. It seems
 to be its so alive and constantly alert, 1t must guard a boy and make him better and happier, no
 matte rhow far he may be away.
 The Hattens have a ranch up on Cheyenne Mountain, the mother
 heard l had boy in Alaska and she came and asked me to write and ask you to let me know if you ever heard of a boy by the name of Leon Hatten. He went to Oregon, l think it was, to work for A AoA lANAs All ok NAAAN HID AANAAANA ceased hearing from him. The farmer said Leon went off with two other young men to Seattle and he thought they may have gone to AL aswa. The farmer has heard nOth- ing from them since they left his farm The mother says she fears he must be dead. He had S100 with him and may have been murdered, for he never neglected writing to his mother before, she says he was a good boy and saved his money and had no bad habits. The thing she cannot understand is, why he left his place on the farm and did not let her know They are very poor and Leon sent his mother something every month. ! think there is free masonry among mothers. My heart did so so out to her. She lives west, way the other side of Cheyenne Mountain, beyond Wades place, and she has one son dead buried at the ceme- tery here She had a little grape basket filled with wild flowers to plant on the grave, for it was De- coration Day, and while she told me about the son she hgd lost sight of her tears kept falling in the l poor little basket, she looked SO

prosecuting attorney On the authority
of the board to award such contract
without the necessity of calling for
bids. In his reply to the board, the
prosecuting attorney calls attention
to the vagueness of the contract sub

made in attending summer school, and
some presented grades made in other

ignate the teacher to whom the honor
would go for highest grades.

on board cars at Genesee, and stated
that the cost of washed gravel deliv-
cred on cars at Moscow would be

In the minutes OF the board

..At, this time an order was placed
with the Union Sand & Gravel com
pany for 600 yards of sand and gravel
at the price of $1.15 per yard, f. o. b.
PalOuse, Washington. it be-

From the commissioners minutes, it
is impossible to get any idea of the
real relations of the commissioners and
the Spokane firm so far as prices that
may be compared with local prices
are concerned. The minutes record a
payment of $1343.33 to the gravel COM
pany June 27,$44417 on June Both,
and $779.93 July Sd, and a payment of
$1929.37 to the Inland railroad for
freight on gravel on June Goth.
More than four thousands dollars
were sent out of the county to pay
for gravel far inferior in quality to
the local gravel, according to expert
enced road men and to people who
have travelled roads made of native
gravel and roads on which the import
ed gravel has been spread.
The gravel taken from the local
creeks carries with it binding mater
ial of clay-like nature which makes
a road topping that sheds the water
through the most prolonged rainy |
seasons, and one that withstands the |
heaviest local traffic withou: breaking
up even in wet seasons. Being taken
from the creeks so near the disin-
tegrated granite formations from
which it comes, the local gravel is
sharp and is better bound than gravel
worn round and smooth by being car
ried far from the place of it's origin
Roadmen explain that washed gray
ell must depend upon the mud in the
road to bind it into a solid mass, that
much gravel is lost in the pudding
process, that the road is 10 more Y
water proof than the natural road {
itself, and that the road
breaks up under traffic in wet wealth. S
