CARBON MONOXIDE
GASFROMFURNA CE
OVERCOMESFAMILY

What might have been a tragedy
was narrowly averted at the home OF
Mrs. Letha Orion Monday morning
when Mrs. Orion, overcome by the
lethal effects of carbon monoxide
from the furnace, stumbled to the
telephone and gasped for help.
Neighbors responded.
The house is occupied by Mrs. Or
ton, son, Richard and daughter,
Frances, in one fiat, and Andrew Jer-
rett and wife in the. other fiat. When
Mrs Orion and Richard arose about
eight o'clock Monday morning they
found themselves i'll. Going down
stairs they felt sicker still. Mrs. Or
ton sensed the trouble and rang for
help. In the meantime Grandma
Lenora orion, residing next door,
came over when she missed little
Frances, who goes to her house each
morning to practice music. The eld-
er Mrs Orion reached the house
about the same time as a neighbor
who heard Mrs. Letha Orton's frantic
call and came in.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerrett, adjacent, felt
i'll effects but did not become uncon-
scious. They summoned Drs. Doolit-
tie to care for them. Mrs. Orton's
physician, DR.. Fowler, came also and
the three medical men opened all the
doors and windows and put fresh air
into the house. The patients were
soon on their way to recovery. Mrs.
Orion was the sickest, but both chill
dren were affected.
Tho trouble was traced to a check
draft in the furnace which had not
been manipulated properly and car
bon monoxide or coal gas from hard
coal went through the house. The
gas as it emanates from hard coal is
tasteless, colorless and odorless and
insidious in its effects. Windows be-
ing open in the sleeping rooms and
the fact that the deadly gas is heavier
than air and hung to the lower floors
probably prevented death to all the
OCCUPANTS of the house.

Worry Over Control by

Bile to check the matter UP says that

dists have % adherents, Episcopalians

In the house the Methodists have SO,
Presbyterians SO, Episcopalians Sc,
Baptists 45, Catholics SO, Congrega-
tionalists 26. Christians 16, Luther
ans IL, Jews 8, etc. AS II senators
and Al members of the house have no
religious affiliations, it looks as if it
will be some years before the country
is to be captured and subjugated by
any particular denomination. 1t seems
1aughable to think that in this coun-
try we have quite a number Of peo-
pie "goosey" enough to fear that

mental affairs and put nearly every
body to the bowstring.

State No Authority Over
Navigable Streams

MADISON, Wis.-The state drain
age law, giving the state railroad
commission authority to permit or
ganization Of drainage districts, was
declared unconstitutional by the Wis
consin supreme court Tuesday, when
that body reversed the decision of the
lower court in the case of Norman
Hass against j. r. Hutson, from
Crawford county.
The state railroad commission has
no authority to authorize formation
of drainage districts which will in
any way effect the navigable water of
the Mississippi river, the supreme
court declared.
In an opinion by Chief Justice Vim
je, the court declared that the state
was prohibited from impairing the
navigable waters of the Mississippi in
the original grant OF northwestern
territory. The opinion states that no
state law can be construed to author
iZe such impairment, contrary to the
federal constitution and acts of con-
gress.
Large areas of navigalDle waters
would be destroyed, an interstate fer
ry line prevented from running and
miles of sloughs rendered useless for
navigation if the proposed work is
carried out" the opinion said. I'm
der such circumstances, there is no
support in the evidence for the find
ing of the railroad commission and it
must be set aside"
The project in contest was for
draining 1880 acres in Crawford
county in the Winneshiek bottoms OF
the Mississippi river between De Soto
and LynXville. 1t involved an esti-
mated expenditure of $686,000
Drainage Project Brought Protests.
The project to drain the Winnie
shiek, beautiful land of bayous,
lakes and marshes, named after a ia
nous chief of the Winnebagos, arous-
ed sportsmen all over the country. 1t
is estimated that "a million letters"
have been sent to congressman in
protest. The drainage OF the 20-mile
stretch OF the Winneshiek, it was I'M
derstood, was to be but the forerun-
ner of other drainage projects that
would transform about 300 miles of
Mississippi bottoms into farm land.
Conservation pointed out that the
Winneshiek and like stretches are the
breeding grounds of millions of fish
and water fowl, and fur-bearing ami
mails almost without number.
The project arose when 80 owners
of land in the Winneshiek created the
Crawford county levee and drainage
district No. /. The plan was to build
levee to hold back the flood waters
of the Mississippi, a diversion canal
to drain the bottoms and another
levee near the foothills. Engineers
said the project was feasible. Soil
experts differed as to the value of the
land after it was drained. Some eX-
perts said it would make the finest
farms in the state and others said it
would be untitled at least for many
years for agriculture. Men who had
had experience with drainage, such as
the Horizon lake project, fought the
Winneshiek plan on the ground that
it would be failure.
Proposals nave been made that the
federal government take over the en-
tire Mississippi bottom firm Illinois
to Minnesota and conserve it as a
breeding ground of wild life
