MRS. THOS. NESBIT
DIES SUDDENLY

Pitkin Miner.
By RUBY E. CORUM.
On Saturday evening last death
came suddenly to the home of 1hos.
Nesbit at the ranch home near Bald
win, and called to her Eterna. Rest
the beloved wife. Mrs. Nesbit has
been seriously i'll for many months,
but her death came Unexpectedly and
was great shock to family and
friends. is,it
Mrs. Nesbit was one of the pioneer
residents of the Baldwin district,
coming there with her husband in
the early eighties. The Nesbit fam
lily is one of the old and honored
families of the north end of the
county. M
Mrs Nesbit was Missourian by
birth and was married in that state
One child blessed the union, son,
William, who has always lived at
home.
The writer has enjoyed the honor
and pleasure of knowing Mrs. Nesbit
since almost first childhood recollec-
Etions, and many pleasant hours have
been spent in her home by US. She
was very estimable lady, kindly.
gentle, fine neighbor, wonderful
mother, devoted wife. All that goes
to make for a splendid woman. 1t
brings to US a feeling of deep sadness
and regret to pen these lines to our
dear old friend who has passed on.
for it brings poignantly to US the
thought that one by one these good
old friends are leaving us, and we
are losing the path-finders of our
present civilization, as we'll as our
best, truest and dearest friends. May
they reap future reward in keeping
with the happiness and comfort they
dispensed in their years among us.
The body was brought to Gunnison
and inferred in Masons and Odd Fell
lows cemetery. Many beautiful flow
ers covered the casket and the large
gathering of old time friends was
tribute to the love and high esteem
in which Mrs. Nesbit was held by all
who knew her.

Tragedy in cowland
The Pitkin Miner.

Inc flIk1n Miner.
By RUBY E. CORUM.
While hunting in the hills on Ra-
zor Creek Dome one day the latter
part of last week, we came upon the
carcass of COW, dead probably twen-
ey-four hours or perhaps two days,
but not longer. That in itself would
not impress the passerby, but the
manner in which the animal died left
US with feeling of regret for the
suffering that must have been hers
ere death relieved her.
She was on small stream that
leads from springs on the Dome. In
many places on these streams ere
treacherous little bogs or swamps,
where the grass grows tall and sweet
and temptingly invites animals to
take step or two more toward the
sweet morsel of food. That is what
this big red COW did. Took one too
many steps into the little swamp and
was as certainly and surely impris-
oned as though four heavy steel traps
were on her feet. There she lay, un-
able to move, in the mud up to her
sides. Plenty of water to prolong
life, but no food. That the struggle
for release had been hard one was
very evident, while the grass was
eaten off clear into the mud in a cir
Gle as far as she could reach, silently
told of the suffering Of the poor ami
NAL that lay there and slowly starved
with plenty of food in sight.
We stood for some minutes viewing
the scene where Nature in all her
splendid fall beauty had taken toll Of
her children. A few rods farther on
we came upon the carcass Of small
calf, perhaps week or two old. verv
poor, and which looked as though it
had been dead about the same length
of time as the cow Whether or not
it belonged to the COW we had just
passed, we cannot say, but perhaps
it did and had fingered about the
mother until it too, slowly starved.
1t was only an incident in day
with Nature, but it left us with q
queer feeling of sorrow that su-h
suffering has to come to dumb an.
imals.

partment of the paper)
Cheer Up
Lord Salisbury once said: TO the
soldier nothing is safe, to the doctor
nothing is wholesome, to the theo-
logian nothing is innocent. The
specialist, therefore, sees nothing in
correct perspective. Let that pass
without debate. Or let it mean this,
namely, that we ordinarily see in a
situation about what we are looking
for
In the immediate postwar days
some apparently were looking for
dangerous "Red" behind every post.
We had almost begun to suspect our
best neighbors. Today, the social
sky seems ominously black to some.
In view of the bitter struggles bes
tween Capital and Labor chaos seems
just ahead. Not SO. Having gained
through a struggle, running back
beyond the birth of our nation, a
considerable measure of political de-
mocracy, we are now in the throes
Of democratizing our economic life.
Don't doubt but that we are working
through to more perfect justice,
equality, and fraternity.
Slabs Of the Sunburnt West
Some of the critics profess to be-
lieve that the material in Carl Sand
burg's volume, "Slabs Of the Sunburnt
West" is poetry. That some lines are
touched with poetic beauty, and that
imagination exalts some stanzas must
be admitted; but that the total
effect of any composition in the vol
ume is poetic is not so clear. "Slabs",
that word seems pretty we'll to de-
scribe the quality of the material.
Here is the rough exterior Of poetry,
small portions of which might be
used by genius to fashion some
thing of enduring beauty. Indeed,
the tantalizing thing is that Sand
burg, having in his hands, now and
then, such fine bits of material should
so fail to give any one Of them i'm
perishable finish. He presents us
with Slabs, when one feels he might
have given us the fine-grained wood
of the log, abundant, all-sound, and
seasoning beautifully with age.
Here is a Slab. Try it out on
your own taste. The title is "Wash-
ington Monument by Night. 1t is
one of the best,-a creation with
bit of the ruggedness and heaven
soaring quality of the Monument.

A lepn swimmer dives into the night

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1922-03-08

The Barton Monitor stabs hard sur
face roads with reference to bond
issue of 100000 Such extrava-
CANT statements are inexcusable. The
Monitor knows well that no one has
suggested bond issue for any such
amount and to throw such a scare
into the minds of the people is down
right misrepresentation and cussed-
ness. The Monitor says: "Let US use
reason in this road talk" Then why
do you not do that very thing? To
put out suggestions of $50,000,0 900
bond issue is worse than throwing q
monkey wrench in the machinery
Burlington Clipper.
Since the Clipper knows all about
the road question perhaps it will tell
us how big a bond issue will be re-
quired to build such hard surfaced
roads as would touch and benefit ev-
cry county in the state, based on the
cost of work of this kind done in Yer
mont and being done in New York
and Massachusetts,. If so this pa
per will be glad to print such infor-
nation. How much short of $780,
600, 900 would from 1000 to 1900 miles
of road such as the Clipper proposes
cost, including such bridge work as
will be required?

Prize Essays on Improving
Rural Schools"

The State Board of Education,
wishing to-obtain the greatest num-
Der possible of suggestions from Yer
mont citizens about the improvement
of rural schools, announces prize
contest, the conditions of which are
to be as follows:
1. The subject to be treated is GLOW
my district could be improved."~
2. The essay must begin by naming
the school under consideration,
giving it's location and describing
it's present condition.
3. The changes suggested shall be
practical improvements which, i'll
the opinion of the writer, would
not be too costly or complicated
for any ordinary Vermont town
or community to undertake.
a. After describing the improve
ments in detail, the writer is to
discuss the following profits:
a. The cost of the suggested
improvements.
b. How they may be secured.
C. Which would need action
and which might be ac-
complished byneighborhood
bees.
d. Any other method where
by money might be raised
to pay for the changes.
5. The essays shall not be less than
1000 or more than 1000 words
long.
6. If accompanied by a photograph
of the school-house under con-
sideration some credit will be
given.
z. Manuscripts are to be sent to the
Commissioner of Education,
Montpelier, VT, on or before
March 3Oth., 1922.
8. First prize is $4,000. Two other
prizes of $4,000 each.
Now is your chance to help along
the improvement of your schools.
Walk down the road to the nearest
district-school and start in. IF you
need to know about what equipment
is being put in good modern rural
schools, or about it's costs, drop a line
of inquiry to Miss Rose Lucia, State
Supervisor of Rural Schools, Mont
pelier, VT, who has all such data,
and she will send it to you at once.
There may be, in a corner of your
mind, the best idea yet about improv-
ing the appearance or equipment or
general condition of a rural school
house. Get it out and put it down on
paper, whether it concerns the play
ground, or the schoolroom, or kit
chenette for serving hot lunches. 1t
will do everybody more good on pa
per, than left in your own mind.

Black Warns Auto Owners

Secretary of State Harry A. Black
has authorized the following state
ment:
During the months of February,
1922, little more than one-half the
business of February, 1921, has been
transacted by the automobile repart-
ment.
This is very encouraging and in
dicates clearly that serious conges-
ton in April and May is to be the re-
suit.
even after at this season regis
trations average only about rs per
day. More than $4,000 cars still re-
main to be registered and practically
every owner knows that within one
month he will have use for his car.
1927 plates will positively not be
cognized at all, and any driver oper-
ating a car under any circumstances
bearing such plates will be called to
account, if detected.
at is well to understand also that
to be caught driving without an oper-
ator's license is ground for refusing
license during the remainder of the
year.
At least four inspectors of motor
vehicles will work in conjunction with
local authorities to see that the law
is enforced.
DRIVERS of teams should also bear
in mind that special activity will be
shown this season in the enforcement
of the law governing lights on vehi-
cles.
