ISLAND WAIF is
NOW AN HEIRESS
BIRTH is RESULT OF PHILIP
PINE ROMANCE. INHERITS
OKLAHOMA OIL WELLS.

From a waif of the Philippines to
the possessor Of millions in the brief
span OF Is years is the unusual story
of Dorothy Carmichael, l6-year-old
heiress OF Tonkawa, Okla.
The details became known the 9TH
er day when they were given TO cor
respondent OF the St. Louis Post-D1s-
patch by Dorothy and her aunt Mrs.
Sarah Petit, who shares in the riches
flowing daily from the Carmichael oil
wells.
The narrative goes back to the out
break OF the Spanish-American war.
Bugal Carmichael, Dorothy's father,
was in Montana at the time. He en-
listed and was sent Immediately to the
Philippine islands and engaged in the
major campaign there His term OF
enlistment ended. and he elected to
STAY in the islands. 1t was about this
time that he met Justa, girl of Eng
'ish and Spanish parentage, who
knew only the islands and in type
and temperament was a true daugh-
ter OF them.
Carmichael and Justa were married.
For while they were happy. A girl
was born and they named her Fuse
bia. This was Dorothy, who has been
rechristened as part of the process OF
perfecting her American education.
There is also the story that a son was
born, but government investigations
have failed to verify this. Anyway
there came a break in the domestic
happiness of Bugal and Justa and the
wife ran away. Carmichael and Fuse
bia went to live with an old army
comrade, Michael Keoghan, and it
was while staying there that BugaI
died.
Before death he committed Eusebia
to Keoghan's care.
The government, as matter OF
course, notified Bugals father, John
Carmichael, and his sister OF the death.
The child was mentioned in the re-
port. Mrs. Petit demanded proof OF
the childs identity She had heard
nothing of Bugars marriage. The gov
eminent brought the proof and II was
decided that Eusebia should be plac-
ed in the Presbyterian mission in
Manila. There she stayed until 1914,
when she was brought TO Tonkawa
BY Keoghan and given over to her
aunt and grandfather.
John Carmichael died. Dorothy, as
she is now known, inherited part of
his holdings Then oil was discovered,
the fantastic whirligig OF fate began
Tipping wealth into her lap from the
Carmichael oil wells and the value OF
the quarter section OF which she IS
half owner leaped to $36,000OOO.
Despite this IMMENSE wealth Doro-
thy and her aunt live a simple life in
neat little bungalow in Tonkawa.
Unspoiled by fortune Dorothy's edu-
cation progresses and she is being pre-
pared for the part she is to play
among the more favored OF earth's
children. She helps her aunt with the
household duties and is quiet and de-
mure.
The Carmichael property, in the
center of the field, is the most pro-
ductive in the region. The output aver
ages more than $1,000 barrels OF oil
a day and that means that the little
Eusebia, whose prospects dozen
years ago weren't worth peso, now
has daily income of $500, which
is steadily growing.

WORDS OF CAUTION
TO COLORED PEOPLE
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE AT
WAYCROSS HEAR AN AID
DRESS BY DR.. MCDOWELL.

DR.. G.. N. MacDonell, son of for
mer pastor of the Dawson Methodist
church and now prominent physi-
clan and member OF the Waycross
board of education, was invited by the
colored people OF Waycross to speak
before the Negro Business League.
H took as his subject THE Relation
of the Negro Business League % to
Emigration, 20 to Agriculture, (3)
to Schools, (4) to the Church. y
Speaking of the present exodus OF
negroes from the south DIR. MacDon-
ell pointed out that the substantial
negro should consider carefully the
unrest of his people at this particular
time in an honest effort to serve the
best ends OF the colored people here
in the south, and cautioned against
the ruthless desertion OF all that the
negroes had accumulated i'll wealth
and all that they had gained in the
good will and helpful cooperation
of the best white people OF the south
for a spasmodic and indefinite in
crease Of wages and working cOndi-
tons in other sections of the country.
The south" he said, was never
more concerned in the real welfare OF
the colored people than it IS today.
The better class OF both races is see
ing together and working together,
and in the spirit OF cooperation is
overcoming slowly but surely the dit
hculties that beset us. All the trouble
between the races in the south comes
from the bad element of both races,
the irresponsible, shiftless class"

Snowy Range Highway Can
Be Completed This Season

If the commissioners of Carbon coun-
ty are willing to cooperate with the
Forest Service this year in the build
ing of four N u half miles of high
way-that portion which lies between
Headquarters Park and the eastern
line of Carbon County, at Lake Marie
the Snowy Range Highway between
Saratoga and Laramie will be complet-
ed the present year.
Forest Supervisor Hilton of the
Medicine Bow forest last week D e
ed before the commissioners of Albany
county and stated that the Forest Ser
vice is prepared to cosider the allot-
ment of forest funds TO build the por-
ton of the cad now %unprovided for
between Brooklyn Lake and Head
quarters Park, providing it is possible
to. secure 8 sIaaIl amount of co-opera-
ton from the two counties-Albany
and Carbon-in this construction work.
Funds are available now for the
completion of this scenic highway
from Centennial to Brooklyn Lake on
the east side, and from the Brush
Creek ranger station to Headquarters
Park Oh the west side, and allotments
are desired for the connecting portion
of ten miles, from Headquarters Park

Supervisor Hilton reports that the
stumpage value of timber cut ON the
Medicine Bow forest during the quar-
ter ended March 81 is in excess Of S21.-
600. During the corresponding period
last year the value of timber cut was
$4,000. The recently completed quar-
ter is a record-breaker, and is at the
annual rate of $4,000. The total
would have been considerably greater
but for the very severe weather during
part of March, which caused a general
shutdown in timber operations.

past Lakes Mirror and Marie and the
base of Medicine Bow Peak, to Brook
lyn Lake. Approximately four and a
half miles of this road is in Carbon
county, and the balance of five and
a half miles in Albany county.
This road, when completed, will give
a direct route from Laramie to Sara
toga, furnishing a mountain highway
over the Snowy Range and through
of the most beautiful scenic areas
TO be found in the west. The very
beautiful country hat will be ira
versed by this highway, and the added
fact that the distance between Laramie
and Rawlins by this route is material
ly decreased, will logically result in
the bulk of the travel east and west
over the Lincoln Highway going
Though Saratoga, which is not with
out considerable meaning to the BUSH
ness interests of this town.
The Albany county commissioners
have agreed to cooperate in complet-
ing this highway to the Albany coun-
ty line, and it now appears to be
s%quarely up TO the Carbon county
board as to whether or not this high
way will be completed this year.

buildings to house the grades. and af-
ter a general discussion of Mr.. Duarip's
proposal, including costs, available
funds, housing facilities, etc. the
board decided to accept the offer of
district 8. This offer is TO he Of
feet that district . will rent the brick
building and equipment therein at u
nominal sum to the high school dis
trict for high school purposes, reserv-
ing therein space for its eighth grade.
c. w. Duerig was elected principal
OF the high school and he will also
act as principal of the grade schools
of district 8, and Miss Cora Felker
was chosen as instructor of the English
and history department. The board
then instructed the secretary and the
principal to get in touch with the
State Educational Department with n
view to employing a third competent
teacher for the high school.
II greatest problem confronting
the trustees of the new district has
that of housing facilities for the
large school population, and this mat
ter has been worked out to the salts
faction of the State Department and
at a very nominal cost to the taxpay-
ers of the several districts within the
consolidation. Briefly, this plan is to
a building, probably of the port
able type, containing two rooms, to
house the intermediate grades. The
portable building purchased last year
proven very satisfactory, and an
such building large enough to ac-
the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh grades would allow almost the
entire brick building for high school

been dipped. or will be dipped within
the next few days, but because Of the
occurrence of scab scattered rather
commonly from one end of the forest
to the other, the Forest Service. after
discussion with members Of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry, has decided
to allow no cattle TO enter the forest
until a clean bill of health has been
secured, either from representatives
of the Bureau of Animal Industry. or

purposes. The present enrolment of
the intermediate grades IL ca, and by
combining he 4th and 9th, and the
9th and 9TH. the congestion and
overcrowding in this division will be
eliminated. Then the brick building
would house the high school and the
eighth grades.
To meet the state requirements, a
commercial course must be offered,
and by placing the intermediate grades
i'm the proposed new building, space
for this could be provided.
The high school has enrolled 40
students this year, and the present en-
rollment is 30. Based ON these figures,
the estimated average enrolment for
next year will be 80 students. This,
plus the estimated enrolment of 90
eighth grade students, can be nicely
taken care of In the brick building,
With this Arrangement, assemblies for
the Junior high school, eighth and ninth
grades, and the senior high school,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, are
provided for, These assembly room
may also be used at times for class
rooms. This arrangement provides
two separate class rooms, exclusive OF
the small office room, which has this
year been used as a class room when
classes were small.
Although the situation Is not ideal,
nor to be compared with n big new
building for high school purposes,
nevertheless we are going ahead and
taking a step In the right direction.
The plan at least provides n four-year
accredited high school for the Platte
Valley without the necessity for a bond
issue or other burden upon the tax
payers Of the several affected districts.
