Fred Hartman, Who. Finished
4 Fifth in Dog Derby, Hero of
Greatest Endurance Test Ever
Engaged in by Man or Beast

Two weeks ago Fred Hartman was
an unknown, penniless youngster, ek-
ing out an existence among the fur
traders, trappers and prcspectors Of
the Hudson Bay District, where he had
been an assayer since his graduation
from the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology at Boston.
Today his name is known wherever
newspapers are read; his fame is as
great az that Of Steffanson Or Peary;
he has accumulated $1,000 or 5000
within couple Of weeks and can gar
ner several thousands more If he ac-
cepts the vaudeville offerings awaiting
him; he is the pet of one of Americas
richest men and the idol of thu entire
Northwest.
And all because he has set an x
ample for his generation and several
generations to come, an example Of
courakA bravery, determination and
endurAace.
Finishing at $50 P. NJ, Saturday,
Feb. aRld, a hopeless fifth and last in

most notable, test Of endurance in

ButsHartnaan walked or ran 481 Of
the 500 miles; his rivals rode their to-
|boggans from 60 to 80 per cent Of the
way. Their odZ teams were seasoned,
experienced and stuoag. and included
five or six animals apiece. Hartman
started with I've sgreen' dogs and lost
his leader at the first night stop, "a
miles from Winnipeg, where his five
dogs fought and enc was killed.
As the race progressed Hartman
fell behind the others. Three Iceland
ers, fishermen from Lake Winnipeg,
took the lead and held it thru NsEth
Dakota and into Minnesota. The
Campbell brothers, Grayson and Met,
calf followed them in a group, trailing
from IS to 10 miles behind until they
made a squirt at Fargo, N. D., and
caught the leaders.
Hartman Jagged behind until nearly
400 miles had been covered. Only BY
|plodding thru the bitter cold and floun-
dering thru deep snow drifts for near
ly twenty hours out Of each twenty
four could he keep within thirty miles
Of the leading trio, but his indomitable
pluck enabled him to overtake the en-
tire seven when they paused for a long

ABOUT OUR ROADS
Petros, Tenn, Jan IL. 1917


Morgan County Press,
Mr. Editor: Your representative
has interviewed the most promf-
nent citizens Of this ection of Nor
gan County to secure their opln-
ion as to what is most needed in
the County, and sentiment seems to
be unanimous in favor of good
roads.
Some of those interviewed ex.
pressed themselves as follows, :, j
A Merchant-"Why bless your
heart young man, if l should tell
you exactly how 1 feel about the
roads we have, they might turn
me out of the chnrch. Try go
ing from here to Wartbnrg or
Stevens, in all automobile, and ii
you get back without ''cussing"
you should be given crown full
of stars"
Another observation-disclosures don't
ask me about the roads: l want
to be at peace with the world,
and if the public knew my real
thoughts l might be arrested"
"A Professional Man-'It's cry
ing shame that the main thor
oughfare from Oliver Springs to
Wartbury was not Piked instead
of running the pike to reach prl--.
vate property, where travel is
slight If motorists could come
to Petros and artburg the year
round it would mean good deal
to our county"
! A Goal Niner-aButs I can't think
Of words to express my feelings.
Make it us strong as you posi-
bly, can and tell 'em those are my
sentiments
Another Miner-Other counties in
tie State have shown progress
enough to hire prison labor to
build them good roads, while
right here in Morgan County,
where the State Prison is locat-N
ed, our officials sit idly by and
let our roads get impossible.
Why don't they get busy, make
deal with the state to build
some road. 1t can be done cheap
er that way than any other, and
the Good Lord knows we need
the roads"
A Farmer----"Just say for me that
the voters will not forget those
who ar fighting the good road
movement.

THE SCHOOL PROBLEM
Coalfeld. Jan 9. 1917.
To the Morgan Co. Press

land said in his memorable message
to Congress i'll relation to the
Country's affairs when he conven-
ed an extra session Of Congress,
would be equally appropriate if used
with reference to school conditions
in Morgan County today. 1t is no
Elonger a theory that confronts us,
but condition. 1t is idle to stop |
to speculate on just how the enor-
nous school debt has accumulated /
or who is to blame for it. 1t is
| sufficient to know that it exists in (
all it's gigantic proportions, and the
added fact that it must be paid.
tbs also equally apparent that it
CONSTITUTES serious menace and
handicap to the welfare of our pub
| lie schools.
To any person who properly ap-
preciates the Importance and ne
cessity of the life preparation, In
all it's phases which the, public
schools are giving the girls and
boys of today, the school interests
of county must ever remain its
greatest interests. In truth, no
county can demand or expect high
er recognition than the index at
forded by itsspublic schools. Again,
the school conditions in any county
or municipality will be on spar
with the condition of it's school
fund.
With a'school debt of $4,000 on
isJanuary /, and assuming that tile
taxes by July will take up $l9, :
900 of this, then there will remain
. $4,000 net debt, not one dollar OF
which can say that it's redeemer
Iliveth. This of course must be paid
out of the first taxes collected, and
before any teacher gets dollar.
This condition is thus intensified
by at least $40, 200, and the strain
4 has about reached the breaking
point.
1t is perhaps true that teachers
salaries and other incidental expen-
ses are about 10 per cent. high r
than in other counties, but when
we reflect that the warrants have to
be discounted fully that much II
realized upon, and that as collateral
at the banks they are very undeslr-
able. we realize that salaries are not
high.
Now, the point we wish to i'm
press is, that this school debt is an
obligation and that the county can
not eVade it's payment. If so, why
shirk the obligation longer? The
sooner it is paid the sooner the
county will reap the advantages OF
dealing with the teachers on cash
basis. 1t is conceded by teachers
as we'll as others that a saving to
the county of at least 10 per cent
can be effected by paying. salaries
in cash. Add TO this the cost and
interest where judgments are taken,
and venture the assertion that it
will defray every eexpense incurred
in procuring this money.
The best and simplest way, and
the least burdensome will be to float
a small bond issue, sufficient to pay
off this $4,000 debt and the pres
ent years salaries. Then let the
school board make out a budget of
its probable necessary expenses,
and under none but unavoidable
circumstances allow the expendi-
to go beyond the appropriation.
To my mind the County Court
cannot longer afford to delay look
ing at this matter as any other. bus
