ELKHART. May 25.-A petition
for the opening OF 4O-foot high
way Immediately adjoining the in
terurban right OF way from the west
city limits of Elkhart through
Baugo township to the Elkhart-St.
Joseph county line was filed with
the county auditor Wednesday. The
petition asks that the matter be de-
csded by "a JOint-county election, un-
DER the provisions Of an Indiana law.
The matter is expected 20 be favor
ably passed upon by the county
commissioners during their June
session. which will begin the first
Monday OF next month.
The proposed road is three and a
half miles long. of which three miles
j. across Baugo township and a half
nile is the distance from the city
limit (Shigley av.) and the Concord
Baugo line.
The Concord portion would fol-
low the lines of ". Franklin st.
south and west of Indiana ay., while
in Baugo township the first three
quarters of a mile is already open
ed. To the west side OF W,rley's frst
addition.
The petition is signed by 20 resi-
dents Of Baugo and 81 residents of
Concord township. The law re-
quires 20 signers in each township.
There was also filed a petition for
the paving with concrete Of the
road running southwestwardly from
Oakland av. To jamestown. a dis
lance OF two miles. IL starts from
Oakland av from directly in front
OF the Elizabeth Wambaugh farm
residence and runs IN an irregular
course TO MISUNDERSTANDING one
mile in Concord and one in Baugo.
The petition in this case contains
nothing concerning an election. The
petition bears about 80 signatures.

stone stairs and out the front

We slipped quickly down the

around the corner and made
swiftly along the side of the pal

into the chapel.
AS We crossed the chancel, Lady

forward to meet us.

Lady Elizabeth was already at

the vestments, fastened one end
of the ladder around the barrel Of
the huge chest-using some sort
of seaman's knot.
We then dragged the chest I'M

SOME SNOW IN IDAHO.
Salt Lakers Locate HOmesteads By
Stove Pipes Sticking out Of Snow

Some descriptions of the remark
able snow scenes on the Oregon
Short Line, near Beaver Canyon, were
given in Salt Lake Tuesday by par
ties who arrived from the North, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. Among these
were Fred H. Knickerbocker, assist
ant to the vice president, and d. s.
Spencer, assistant general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line. Ac-
companicds by thelc,-wives the. tive Of
ficiais went north Saturday to see
some of the snow scenes. ]. e. Dor
man I'm charge of the local office of
the dairy division of the United States,
arrived on the same train from the
north, being one of the first to get
through since the blocade in that vi
cinity
Mr.. Spencer said yesterday that the
snow was a sight never to be forgot
ten. In many places he said the To-
cation of homesteader's shacks could
be told only by the stove pipe which
stuck out above the snow. One family
he said, was dug out of their shack
after being literally buried for three
days. They were comfortable and
had not suffered, he said. At another
place children ran up to the side of
a solid drift against one side Of their
school house and cavorted on the roof.
Rotary snow plows had piled up snow
as high as the car caves in many
places, he said.

effectiveness whenever we are called

The president spoke in Cleveland
with more gravity and force than he
has shown during any of his previous

applauded frequently and when he
spoke Of defending the nations honor

There are some here who have heard
this sermon more than once, who

SNOW BREAKS DOWN ROOF
OF CLAASSEN WAREHOUSE.
WIN Killer Narrowly Escapes Falling
Roof-Damage to Building Slight
As Plans for Renedeling Had Been
Made.

The roof on the east side OF the
north end of the Claassen ware
house fell with a crash yesterday af-
ternoon, narrowly missing VIII Killer,
who was directing the loading Of a car
of sacked wheat. Two men picked up
off the street we're assisting MIN, but
were In the car when the roof fell.
Creaking Of the straining timbers
gave warning about ten minutes be-
fore the roof fell. Fearing disaster
Killer told his helpers to stay in the
car and he would bring the bags to
them. He had just passed under the
portion that fell and approached a
pile Of sacks ready to place them on a
truck when he heard a swapping OF
timbers. Looking upward he saw the
east half of the roof falling and step
ped to one side just in time to secape,
the timbers missing his head but a
few inches. The west side of the
roof is badly sagged but still in place.
The warehouse was nearly empty, so
that damage to grain was slight.
Mr.. Claassen considers his loss as
being merely nominal, inasmuch as he
had figured on remodeling the ware
house the coming summer, and con-
siders that the broken timbers are
partly compensated for by the saving
In labor that would have been neces-
sary in tearing them down. The loss,
