SUDDEN DEATHOF

occurred in this community in recent
time, took place Wednesday morning

the entire II years of their married
life, happiness and love were theirs
to the fullest extreme. Mrs. Jepsen
was blessed with a loyable character,
she always had sweet smile and a
kind word for everyone and she will
always be remembered by her friends
as one of Gods noble women.
Mrs. Jepsen was born in Carson
Valley May Is, 1879. Here she at
tended the public school; here she
grew to womanhood, married and
lived until the day she was called
from life by Him who gave it.
To mourn her untimely death she
leaves a heartbroken and bereaved
husband. daughter, Miss Grace, who
worshiped her mother as only girl
can, her sorrowing parents, Mr.. and
Mrs Heitman, four sisters. Mrs.
Silva of Oakland, Mrs. v. Bull,
Mrs. M. Gray and Mrs. C. Park all OF
this community, also four brothers,
George, Hugo. Will and Clarence.

ices will be held at the Lutheran

Ribbon Of Concrete, Rock and Gravel
UnrolIing Between Winnipeg
and New Orleans.

(By FREDERICK J. WRIGHT. Presi-
dent OF Jefferson Highway Association)
In New Orleans on November Is and
i6 OF last fall, after six months Of sys-
tematic agitation, more than 400 good
roads enthusiasts from eleven states
west OF the Mississippi river met and
organized the Jefferson Highway asso-
citation. Now a ribbon of concrete and
rock and gravel Is rapidly unrolling be-
tween Winnipeg, Canada, and New Or
leans, La, which latter city aspires to
be known as the winter capital OF
America.
In less than six months OF its official
bxistencc, the jefferson highway has
become second in importance among
Americas great new national high
ways. The Lincoln highway is natural
ly and rightfully given first place, con-
Meeting as 1t does New York and San
Francisco, and spanning the entire con-
llnent from east to west The Jeffer-
son highway, on the other hand, tra-
verses the great agricultural center
and connects the Dominion Of Canada
1T Winnipeg with the Gulf Of Mexico
ut New Orleans. II crosses the rich
agricultural states Of Minnesota. Iowa,
Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
and Louisiana, with possible branch
through the Ozark mountains in Arkan-
Bas.
Thomas Jefferson is justly entitled
10 the honor which the Jefferson high
way is expected to confer upon his
name. The great north and south
highway traverses the Louisiana pur-
chase territory with the exception OF
a short dip into Texas, made to provide
q level route around the mountains Of
Arkansas. This diversion makes the |
