DO THE DEAD CONVERSE WITH

An interesting subject will be
discussed at the Methodist church
next Sunday morning, when Rev ].
A. Hoffman will preach on the topic.
do the Dead Converse With the
Living?" No subject has received
such widespread attention as this
has received during the past year or
so. No less person than Sir Oliver
Lodge. probably the greatest living
scientist. Is making painstaking
investigation Of the question. A few
month ago this noted scholar visi-
ted America and delivered addresses
before the most cultured classes in
the land. The heart of each dis
course being spiritism. II the dead
converse with the living. there must
be some very explicit evidence to
that effect What is the nature Of
that evidence? What kind of mes
sages have been received? What is
their value to humanity? These are
some of the questions that will be
answered next Sunday morning.

TURE-OTHER COMMENT

Iopeka, Kan, Jan. 17-William
LANCER, former attorney general of
North Dakota. and who was elected
TO that position by the Nonpartisan
league, addressed the members of
the Kansas legislature tonight.
LANCER attacked the leauge. de-
nouncing A. C. Townley. as its di-
rector. who came to Kansas recently

state, and called upon the business
men and farmers to oppose the ac-
tivities of the organization.

milked North Dakota dry" he told
the legislators.
He concluded by challenging
Townley to debate the issues and
asserted: II do not believe he win
dare accept
LANCER said he was not member
of the league but worked In har-
mony with them at the beginning.
His relation with them was severed
he said. as he could not stand to
see them wreck the institutions of
the state
He told of the financial difficulties
of the state and its people in the
last few months and declared that
taxes had been increased, doubled
and trebled in many instances ana
that the league had accomplished
little carrying out the program there
He charged that there was an Oct
i've alliance between the league lead
ers and the I. ~. w. and that many
of the Officials of the league are act
i've members of that organizatio
and that most of them are what he
called "red card socialists.

ING DESIGNATION OF IMPORT
ANT CONNECTING HIGHWAY

The road meeting held at the Gil

night was well atter ded by the res
1dents of the Gilbert community and
by eight business men of Orofino
The proposition of making a road
from Oroflno through Gilbert to Nez
Perce the connecting link between
the North and South highway and
the Lewis and Clark highway was
discussed and met with unanimous
1avor from those pre- sent. WAYS and
means OF financing the project were
virtually agreed upon. County
FUNDS up to the am cunt of s25 0O0
per year would be available after
the Greer-Orofino road has been con
structed this year, which together
with state aid and bond issue hv
the Gilbert Good Road District will
amount to sufficient money to bnt1d
the road. The most important mat !.
ter coming before the meeting how
ever, was the passing of reso,,,'
oh ieaues.ing the commissioner of
puD,ic WORKS TO designate such a
Ioao as state highway and as the
connecting link between the lewis
and Clark highway and the North

A committee, consistine of w T

the matter up with the Nez perce

theif cooperation. The committee
met win the commercial club Mon

tlon was discussed. The meeting re-
suited in the decision of, the Nez

After the last session of the leg
1slature a connecting link between
the North and South and the Lewis

by the state engineer from Craig

For financial reasons it is believed
this project cannot be constructed at
this time. However an effort will
be made to secure the proposed road
in addition.
