In our last mess of items we
spoke of the faf that the Cliftons
would start running concrete on the
Campbell bridge Tuesday, since
which we have learned quite a bit
more about it. Work was kept up
constantly with only time off for
men to get their meals, running all
night Wednesday night, finishing
Thursday about 10 a. m. The con
crete was mixed in power mixer,
dumped into steel bucket and rails
ed by steam derrick to a high tower,
then dumped into chutes and shot
downward to parts OF bridge where
needed Your scribe was on the job
with the exception Of two hours. We
couldn't help thinking that our
father worked on the wooden struc-
ture, which is still standing, SO
years ago, and lived nearly as long
live as long as the present one looks
like it might stand, we judge we will
be getting mighty gray. Only a
few of the folks over beyond who
want the road finished are helping.
It seems to be the policy of the Cliff
tons to do good job. Another no
ticeable fact workmen are used like
gentlemen. An inspector, the counf
ty engineer, three assistants, district
engineer and a federal man are on
the job. La Toilette hasn't been

CLIMATE STUDY

Written for the United Press)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Most
significant are the observations
that have been made at Lowell OBJ
servatorv on the heat from Mars.
The messages DIR. w. W.. Coblentz
of the United States bureau of
standards has received in the form
Of heat waves impinging on his
radio meter undoubtedly have more
meaning in them than radio signals
that have generously been assign
ed to Hypothetical Martians, temp
erature has been one of Mars Sec
rets. All astronomers cannot see
canals on Mars, but all agree that
Mars must have some sort of sur
face temperature. Last year. DR..
Coblentz studied the radiations
from Mars.
The average temperature on that
planet was found to lie between .4S
degrees and ~ degrees Fahrenheit,
but because of thin atmosphere it
seems likely that there is freezing
weather on Mars every night and
hot weather, about 70 degrees, eve
ry midday.
Many astronomers in the past
have believed Mars was very cold
and uninhabitable and that life as
we know it was out OF the question.
DR.. Coblentz has found that the
| Marian surface is cooler in the
morning and hotter after the sun
has shone upon it.
Is Snow Covered
! The white capped mountains,
probably covered with snow do not
give off as much heat as the other
parts of the surface. The Martian
! tropics are hot, the Marian temp
erature zones are cooler. Mars seems
quite earthhke in those respects.
/ There are other Coservatories t.
hear from. At Lick Observatory
at Mount Hamilton, Calif., they arr

special Photographic plates through
large telescopes.
The tickle human eve~is being re
placed with reliable scientific instr
ments made especially to record th
radiations that man can know onl.
through the use of his intelligence
| More important than the social
ed cana lare these firmly rooteC
and scientifis observations. Th
telescopes will be busy for anothe

JURY ABSOLVES !.
HARRY MURRAY

In the inquest of the death of
j. f. Garfield, which was held in
the funeral parlors of;B. IL. Lemons,
Il new version of the fatal accident
that caused the untimely death of
Mr.. Garfield, was brought to light.
Mr.. Murray;s story is, that on
the morning of August 22, one mile
east of Bonds crossing, he suddenly
was aware of the fact, that Il horse
and buggy, was OCCUPYING the. mid
die of the, road and obstructing. his
way. AS is the custom with all au-
tomobile drivers, he blew his horn
a couple Of times as a warning that
he wished to pass. No sooner had
his last blast died out, than the
HORSE suddenly took fright and dash
ed to the. right side of the road,
causing him to head his machine
to the left, and in so doing he
unconsciously struck the cart the
old man was driving, and smashed
it into a thosand pieces. yy~.
The mystifving part of the ac-
cident is how the horse happened to
be in front Of Mr.. Garfield, when
it is a known fact that he did not
own 4 horse, and was pushing a
cart instead of riding in buggy.
As there was no eye witnesses to
the accident the jury sitting in the
inquest had no alternative but to
bring in afyerdict Of not guilty.
