Gov. Charles w. Gates made his vale.
dictory to the legislature this morning
While the message was thorough going
there was nothing sensational about it,
and the attention it received was
respectful rather than enthusiastic.
After referring to the fact that he
had seen fit to maintain an executive
office at the capital during his term,
Governor Gates called attention to the
new state building and the fact that an
added appropriation would make posi-
bic an improved appearance of the struc-
ture and better inside finish He sug
gestcd the wisdom of considering a
plan for the state to carry portion of
its own insurance, at the same time
creating sinking fund for cmergen
cies. In commenting on the work of
the house of correction he expressed
the opinion that the institution could
use more farm land to good advantage
He also referred to the excellent con
ditlon of the state prison at present.

Badly Hurt by Fallen Tree.

Ernest Gleason met with serious
accident Saturday afternoon. Eight
large trees had been blown down dur
ing the hard winds so that they were
on the main road toward Athens,
about half mile beyond Mr.. Gleason s
home. He and Mr. Cone were at work
clearing them off the road. They sawed
large log off one of these trees and
as it fell away from the tree, the tree
turned over in such way that the
roots struck Mr.. Gleason i'll the back.
doubling him so that his head and
knees were together and pinning him
firmly between the tree and an immense
bowlder. Mr.. Cone succeeded in extri-
eating him alone and then hurried
home for help and n sled to carry the
injured man home. DR.. Bugbee of Put
ney was telephoned for Immediately.
He found no bones broken. Mr. Glea-
SON is still confined to his bed and suf-
fers much pain.
Several have visited the place where
the accident happened and say that
the only thing that seems to have
saved his life was the way the log
rested, which they had just sawed from
the tree.

Doing an Immense Amount of Good.

No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives. Hoods Sarsaparilla and

They reach the impure, impover-
ished, poisoned, devitalized blood. and
the worn. rundown, overworked. eX-
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
vitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
sound, natural sleep. and a complete
invested in these two medicines will
bring better results than four dollars
spent in any other course of treatment
or attendance.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsa-

Remember, somebody has to raise

provides for the building of three ar
mories annually, cost of construction
to be shared on a ffty-ffty basis by
the state and city where the armory is
to be built. The bill provides for an
annual appropriation of $4,000. A
check on the construction of the ar

RAISED ABOUT
$4,000

Close to $4,000 was raised in Wis
consin for the fight against tuberculo-
sis by the 1916 Red Cross Christmas
seal sale While exact figures are not
obtaining even at this date, owing to
a few outstanding accounts, it is GER
tain that a new state record has been
established by sale of between $49,-
coo, and $4,000, that the per capita
sale was a little over 2 cents and that
the per cent over the record of the
preceding year.
Championship cups awarded the

classes We're won as follows:
Madison-Mrs. Albert Dexter, man
ager, first among the cities of $4,000

MANY IF
YELLOWSTONE
ELK Dying
Deep Shows Cause Starvation.

Washington, April 21.-Alarming re
ports Of conditions which threaten
defamation of the Yellowstone Elk
herds are beginning to reach the De
partment of Agriculture, both from
the Jackson's Hole region and from
Gardiner, Montana. The danger is
said to be due to an exceptionally hea-
Wy winter snowfall and late oncoming
of spring. Deep crusted snow is pre-
venting the elk from obtaining their
usual feed and the weakened animals,
especially the calves, are reported to
be dying rapidly in spite of the large
supply of hay provided by the FEEDER
al Government for such emergencies.
This supply, however, has been ex-
hausted.
The elk which winter around Jack-
sons Hole, in Wyoming, are known as
the southern or Jackson's Hole herd
and number more than 10000. The
northern or Park herd is estimated by
the Park authorities to contain over
10000 animals. According to the re-
poE,s received by the Forest Service
the losses in the southern herd may
reach even as high a figure as one
third the entire number, with practi-
cally an entire loss of last years cal
yes. In the northern herd conditions
appear to be less critical, but an i'm
mediate spring breakup is eagerly
hoped for by those interested in seeing
the elk preserved.
