While She Was Celebrating Her One
Hundred and Fourth Birthday II
Was Figured Out That Venerable Old
Lady of Wisconsin Has 1876 Descend
ants-Is Rugged and Enjoys Life
Prairie du Chen, Wis.-Grandma
Ehrake Is In her one hundred and fifth
year, for she celebrated her one hun
dred and fourth birthday anniversary
recently. She Is a most remarkable
woman in several respects. With the
aid Of a cane she Is able to get about
quite well, and she Is always cheerful
and happy. Up to a year ago she was
able to read the newspapers, but her
eyesight has failed fast since that
time, and she Is now able to recognize
people only when they get within q
few feet Of her. She has a rugged con-
stitution and Is able to take care Of
three square meals a day and enjoy
them.
At the birthday anniversary thirty
i've Of her relatives were present to
do honor to the event, an event that
Is exceedingly rare.
While the circle were enjoying din
ner 1t was figured out that this veneer
able old lady had 1856 descendants hv-
ing at the present time, as follows:
Three sons, Of which Sylvester Ault,
aged eighty-three, of Oelwein, Ia, was
present at the celebration and who de-
clares that he is still a young man;
forty-six grandchildren, ninety-two
great-grandchildren, forty great-great-
grandchildren and four great-reat-

Grafton.
And what a wonderful family record
Is Grandma Shrake's-the head at one
time Of six living generations, all fe-
male, the only known instance Of the
kind in the United States. Death has
removed only two Of the links. The
six generations are: Mrs. Lydia
Shrake of Wyoming, Mrs. Margaret
Elder (deceased), Mrs. Rachel Con (de-
ceased, Mrs. Malissa Spaulding of
California, Mrs. Cora Gulley Of Cali
fornia, baby Agnes Gulley OF Califor-
mia. They all used TO live at Wyalus-
ing.
Grandma Lydia Thomas Ault-Shrake
was born in Connellsville, Fayette
county, Pa. and at the age Of four
moved with her parents TO Coshocton,
O., where at the age of eighteen she
married William Ault in May, 1882.
To them were born five children-Lou-
lisa, Sylvester, Margaret, Elias and
William. Two of these sons, Sylvester
and William Ault, served in the late.
civil war, the former in the Fifteenth
Wisconsin and the latter In Company
A, Thirty first Wisconsin. In Septem-
Der, 1889, her husband died, and two
years later she married Jacob Shrake.
In 1914 they moved to Green county.
Wis, and in 1850 to Wyalusing, their
home ever since. To the last union
were born five children-Jacob, of Bag
ley; Jane. David, Abner and George.
Three of these sons served in the civil
war, Jacob in Company A, Thirty-flrst
Wisconsin,; David in Company II, Wis.
consin's Eagle regiment, and Abner in
Company c, Forty-eighth Wisconsin.
This makes five sons Grandma Shrake
sent to the front in the dark days of
the war, another remarkable thing
to her credit and showing her patriot
ism. Her second husband, Mr.. Shrake,
who died in 1861, was also a soldier In
the war of 1912.

BENCH LAND RENTS FOR
HIGH FIGURE
One Tract of 100 Acres Rented
for S2000-Another for
$40 Per Acre

DR.. J. l.. Reynolds has traded his
residence to s. W. Nichol for his 100
acre ranch on the bench. The ranch
has been leased to the VanDeusen
Brothers for a term of five years. By
the terms Of the lease the VanDeusens
will put the land under cultivation and
seed it to alfalfa the first year, after
which they will pay SO per acre for
each of the succeeding four years, or
$4,000 and the blowing, leveling and
seeding to boot.
The E. J. Reynolds ranch Of 100
acres has been leased at still high
er rental, but only for a year. The
lesseee is J. E. Clinton, who viii pay
$50 per acre, or $1,000 for the entire
tract. This ranch is all in alfalfa,
however.
These two trasactions show the up
ward trend and value of hay lands in

FOUND GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict of First De-

Sentence.

Nick St. Clair, charged with the
crime of shooting his wife to death
near Sweet September 8, was found
guilty of first degree murder and
sentenced to life in the state peniten-
tiary by the jury.
The verdict was reached at 5 o'clock
Friday morning, after the jury had
held an all-night session Sheriff
Nichols, assisted by Deputy Harry
Hamilton, took the prisoner to Boise
that day and turned him over to the
state prison officials.
The arguments of the attorneys were
made Thursday evening and were not
completed until nearly II o'clock.
The court room was crowded almost to
suffocation and the pleas of the at
torneys were listened to with the most
intense interest. The case was given
to the jury at 1870, and at o'clock
the next morning Judge Bryan was in
formed that a verdict had been reach
ed. He at once arose from his bed
and went to the court house. When
the sentence was read, st. Clair wept
like child, but soon composed HIM
self and preparations for his depart
ure for the state prison wefe made.

supreme court, which reversed the
decision Of the district court
Thereupon Judge Richards, as at
torney for the irrigation companies,
filed a motion for rehearing before
the supreme court, which was granted,
and the opinion as given above IS the
result. In brief, the decision upholds
the drainage commissioners in their
right to assess irrigation companies,
but remands the case TO the district
court TO determine the amount Of the
assessment. This question will, It IS
expected, come up at the January
term Of the Canyon county court
Two other questions Will be heard
at that time, namely, the remon-
strances of VIII Stuart and the estate
Of James Patton, both Of Falk, against
being included in the district and sub
ject to assessment. With these three
cases settled, the district will have all
legal questions settled and will be in
position 70 carry out its plans for the
contraction of the drainage works.

mineral resources on the South Fork
Of Salmon river and in the Thunder
Mountain mining district. The road
built by the state from Knox to Roose-
welt in 1903, has become impossible,
and the route favored by the forest
officers is new one extending down
the South Fork Of Salmon river to
the East Fork, thence up East Fork to
Profile Gap, and down Big Creek to
Edwardsburg. It is believed this
route will best serve all the interests
of the country traversed. 1t will
eliminate all but two submits and will
cross these at the lowest points OBJ
tainable. While somewhat longer than
the old route, it will be on better
grade and at an altitude that win
make winter travel possible.
To central Idaho this road plan
means the turning Of an unproductive
wilderness into wealth producing, tax
paying communities. The wonders Of
the finest mountain scenery in the
state will be spread before the tourist,
the best streams and hunting grounds
opened to the sportsman, the wealth
of timber and minerals unlocked, and
new pastures made available for live
stock.
When constructed, these roads will
undoubtedly have vast influence in
the development of the state and the
projects should have the unqualified
support of its citizens.

The events leading mp to this deci-
sion are as follows:
The question Of the assessment Of
irrigation companies by the drainage
district came up before Judge Bryan
in June, in the Canyon county district
court to determine the amount Of the
irrigation companies against any as
sessment was sustained. The drain
