Of their parents. Lucille never
dressed like the cowgirl you know
today. no loud colors, no short
leather skirts, and great big hat, no
sir, her skirt was divided, but long,
away down over her patent leather
boot tops, whip cord grey, or grey
hroadcloth. small stiff brim hat and
always white silk shirt waist.
The following year he took a
small picked bunch Of us to the
Madison Square Garden, to work
as an added attraction with the
Horse Show. Lucille his daughtr
was the big attraction. New York
had read of her but never seen a
cowgirl. Our show was big sue

well you wouldent hardly know 1T.
We have no one to replace the
old fellow. He Is Of the rugged old
cowman type that is passing out.
Lucille Is left alone on the old
ranch place at Mulhall. Lucille Null
hall who's name has blazed across
more paper than most public men
attain in a long life time. Thssfirst
cowgirl, one that could do some
thing, not pose, but ride and rope,
the only girl that ever rode a
horse exactly like man q mean a
real handy. She is left alone with
her memories, and they should be
happy, for she has given more than
she has received. It's not bad leg
acy to leave, the Best Horsewoman
in America. The old Col. has gone
to book another contest, and I can
hear him holler. Come on boys let's
give EN- a real show a Mulhall
Show! Lucille now baby, rope like
you never roped before! Injun wake
up and get in there!"

contest at st. Louis. -
Well some one sent in my name.

very far in this st. Louis contest.
I made the serious mistake of
catching my steer and he imme-
diately jerked me and my pony
down for our trouble.
But that gave me a touch Of
SHOW Business" in a way, so that
meant was ruined for life as far
as actual employment was CON
cerned. He had a couple of daugh-
tiers, Miss "Bossy' and Lucille. Bos-
sy was quite q good rider but she
never took it up in the professional
way that little Lucille did. Lucille
was just little kid when we were
in st. Louis that year, but she was
riding and running her pony all
dentally her start too. It was not
only her start, but it was the di-
rect start of what has since come
to be known as the cowgirl. There
was no such thing or no such q
word up to then as q cowgirl. But
as Col. Mulhall from that date drift
ed into the professional end of the
contest and show business, why Ltis
cille gradually come to the front,
and you can go tell the world that
his youngest daughter Lucille Null
hall was the well known cowgirl.

Claremore a lot that fall and win

big show which he was to have at
thief air for the whole year, I lived
with the family at Mulhall. The Col.
had always kinder seemed to like
me, and thought lot Of the FAM
lily. His wife Mrs. Mulhall will al
ways be remembered by me as just
about as fine character as have
ever known. She was a grand old
lady. She had many trials and
hardships, but she stood up under
them like a Saint. It was a family
of great devotion. The Col. thought

Are Considered

The saving in human energy,
brought about by good roads. Is
greater than the saving in car OPP

ticis by James R. Griffith, engineers
ing professor at the Oregon State
Agricultural College. aasf{a IS
Using the figures in Bulletin No.
91sof the Iowa State College of Ag-
ficulture and Mechanic Arts, which
show that the cost Of operating the
average automobile Is ga cents per
mile, on high type (paved) roads,
6.43 cents on intermediate (gravel,
macadam or bituminous treated,)
and 7.50 cents on low type, (earth,
sand-clay or. light gravel.) Prof
Griffith says: 'T note that by oper-
lating my automobile 1900 miles a
year. will save s108.90 by staying
on high type roads in preference to
Intermediates. Likewise each
years operating cost will be $226.-
go less on high type roads in pref
erence to low type. This differen-
tial. multiplied by the total number
of cars operating at that mileage,
would provide quite an appreciable
amount which would go a long way
in paying for improved roeds.
ITO me, as a car owner, these
figures are Interesting. However, I
am more concerned about reading
between the lines.
Cannot the medical profession
give us measure of the energy ex-
pended per mile by the front and
back seat drivers over the three
types of roads? What woul1 such q
chart show? have made some
short runs over low type roads re-
quiring more physical exertion than
a hard days work. In fact, I
would estimate that so miles of low
type road required an expenditure
of energy equivalent to about 300
miles of high type road. In this
connection well remember a
short run on one poor road made
during the summer of 1929 which
completely exhausted my physical
and mental reserve"
The cost per mile at present
prices of gasoline, tires, ETC., is prob
ably lower than the cost shown In
the Iowa bulletin, says Minnesota
Highway bulletin, but the relative
cost on high, intermediate and low
type roads has not changed. And
the amount of human energy ex-
pended ina ride on poor roads Is
as great as ever.

GOVERNOR ASKS SUPPORT
 OF RED CROSS ROLL CALL

Governor George A. Parks has called upon all Alaskans to support the annual membership Roll Call tf the American Red Cross which will open in thousands of cum munities in the United States on Armistice Day The Governors statement in full follows:
 "The annual roll call of the American Red Cross should re- mind us of the past achieve ments of that great organiza- ton and impress On each one the urgent necessity for in- creased ; revenues to relieve distress during the next year.
 Conditions are abnormal, yet the vast majority of our people are able to contribute to the relief of those less for tunate and should consider it a privilege and an obligation to subscribe their share in maintaining an organization which for 50 years has met every emergency in such a splendid manner.
 q am sure that the people of Alaska will respond in their usual generous manner and that our quota will be over subscribed"
 Greatly increased demands foI relief, specially in the field of dis aster and veterans welfare, make large increase in membership imperative, Red Cross officials state.

The contractor for the clear ing, grubblng, etc, or the site of the Indian Industrial 5cnool at Shoemaker Bay, near Wrangell, was obligated to compete ehe work on AprI 30Ih last. But ow- ing to bad weather and other causes he did not get the work finished until June 50. As a re- suit the contract stipulation that a penalty of $25 per day be ex- acted caused the last payment of $3,10O to be withheld by the Gov ernment until the penalty oI $500 was disposed of. The good offices of the Delegate were in- voked but the Comptroller Gener- al finally decided that only S40O would be remitted because of a delay in executing the contract, A check TOT the Dalance due oi $1916 was last week sent to the contractor.

Skins of fur-bearing land ani- mals to the numbe ror 494,547 and valued at $2,12S,14S, were exported from Alaska in 193V, a report from the Alaska Game Commission to the Biological Sur Tey, U. S. Department of Agrieul- ture, shows. This is $2,3S5, 7l5 less than the value of the 1929 shipments, although 197,245 more pelts were exported. The smaller yeturn for 1880 resulted from a general decline in the market value of individual furs. The re- port is based on the statements that fur shippers are required to file with agents of transportation companies or with postmasters handling the shipments, who in turn must forward them to the Alaska Game Commission.
