]. G. Van DYKE Obituary

j. G. Van Dyke was born April 49,
1857, at LewistoWn, Ill, and died June
5, 1885, being Is years, month and
II days old at his death. Funeral serv-
ices were held last Saturday from the
Gompf chapel and burial was in the
LakevieW cemetery near Troy.
Mr. Van Dyke came to Montana when
young man. He went through The
early Indian wars and took part in
burving the dead on Clusters battlefield
AT one time his horse was shot Ander
him while carrying messages for gov
eminent forces.
MIR. Van Dyke put in several years
in Idaho and Montana on the buffalo
ranges and had many narrow escapes
and hair raising adventures in the wild
early days of the west. Mr.. Van Dyke
used to tell very interesting stories OF
hunting buffalo and other kinds Of
game, trapping furs, placer mining and
breaking wild horses to the saddle. He
put in about 10 years near Livingston,
Mont, market gardening and did well
there, later moving to Castle Mountain
during the mining boom, operating a
store there Later he moved to this
part Of the state before Libby or Troy
existed and year or two before the
Great Northern railroad was built
through this part of the state.
Mr. Van Dyke market gardened here
ever since, first taking up what is
known as the Savage ranch, living
there seven years, which he then sold
to Mr. Savage He then homesteaded
fine place not far from Linger Longer
Beach
Mr.. Van Dyke was real pioneer in
Troy, being the first man to take up
land there for agricultural purposes.
He helped in every way he could 10
settle up the country, locating many Of
the homeseekers who arrived later,
many of whom are here yet He did
much good here helping to blaze the
first trails into this beautiful country
Of ours, helping to build up a COM
munity which can justly be called a
paradise IN every way He. had re-
marked many times that he had been
in nearly every state in the union and
the part here where he settled for life
was his choice in every way.
He will long be remembered by a
large circle of friends, including many
people in Libby and Troy who bought
their vegetables and fruit from him
for many years. An honest hard work
ing old pioneer has gone TO his reward.
Mr.. Van Dyke is survived by his
wife, two sons, George and William,
two daughters, Mrs Arthur E. Barr
and Mrs. William BashanI,+ and by
seven grandchildren.

The ferry boat here capsized when
near the middle of the Kootenai liver
yesterday afternoon, with seven people
on board Three of those on the boat
were drowned and the other 'our
i reached shore after some narrowing
experiences.
Those drowned were.
j A c. FRANTZ. the ferryman.
BEECHER LOUCKS
f FRANK MURRAY, six years old.
Those who escaped were:
Mrs Matte Roderick, Vim. Harmon
John Fredericks and a young man
named Larkin
Those killed by the cable were:
JOHN MULLINEX.
THEO. WALL.
+ All those on the boat were washed
/ off by the swift current when The ac-
eident happened except Mrs. Roderick,
who obtained firm hold and hung on
Desperate efforts were being made 10
rescue her from her perilous position,
when the cable gave way and there was
a second accident. with two fatalities.
When the cable gave way it came
down upon the crowd, underneath, kill
ing John Mullinex and Thee. Wall,
sweeping some into the river and in
luring quite number John Mullinex
had his face terribly smashed by The
big iron rope, and Theo. Wall received
injuries from which he died. Numer-
Gus others were hurt more or less
seriously.
haf.re the HI T..
E. Kuphal. in an attempt to rescue
Mrs. Roderick, had gone out to the cap
sized boat on the cable, and had sue
ceeded in getting the woman in bet
/ ter position, when log came down the
stream and struck the boat, catching
] kuphals leg and pinning him fast.
Charles Marshall then went out on The
cable to help Kuphal, but before he
/ could get him loose it gave way. The
! giving way of the cable caused The
ferry boat to partially right itself and it
swung across to the north bank of The
river, where it lodged against some
logs short distance from shore Ku-
I phal was thrown into the river and
was picked up by Ed Dawson a short
distance below Mrs. Roderick and
Marshall chung to the boat, being
eventually rescued by Ed Dawson, who
] crossed the swift stream in row boat
/ NWm. Harmon was washed down the
river for about mffe and a half,
clinging to two planks which aided him
in keeping afloat and in reaching The
shore in safety. The Larkin boy had a
similar experience, but was washed
down the river for about two miles be-
fore he could get to shore. John Fred
ericks was able to swim out without
any great difficulty.
A. c. Frantz, the ferryman, kept up
until opposite the sRemp ranch, when
he went beneath the waters and was
seen no more. Beecher Loucks and little
Frank Murray had similar fate.

Killing It Of

If the Legislature wanted sure-tlre way of killing off an appropriation that might interfere with purely political plans, it devised one in the proposal that instead of building a new home for the Predetermined an addition to the present institution at Mansfield be erected. The new home is quoted as going to cost $l,- 5OO,O0O. We presume that if an addition was placed at Mansfield it's cost would be considerably less than the aforementioned sum. If not, we fail to see any purpose behind the idea.
 But we want to say right off that we are opposed to any such scheme as this. It is perfectly obvious that the efficiency of the Mansfield institution would be com- pletely destroyed if it was made into gigantic home, such as would have to be built to accommodate the 1000 men, women, and children now on the waiting list for admission. Mansfield was built to take care of 1,200 patients and that num- Der is being cared for there right now. To double the number would, even with addi- tional buildings, impair smooth-running machinery.
 That has been more than proved by the experience of the State Hospital at Mid dletown. Here, if ever, is the classic ex- ample of trying to do too much under one roof The state accommodates slightly over 5000 patients at Middletown and even the officials realize that what is be- ing done for them is under a handicap. The same is true of Norwich in a smaller degree. That's why the Fairfield county hospital was built and why now the first unit there, caring for 800 inmates, must be added to, so that the load at Norwich and Middletown may be lessened and eff ciency restored
 6 We think it would be sad mistake to expand the present institution at Mans field. It doubtless is accomplishing mod ern miracles with the unfortunate children sent there for training. We certainly would hate to have this training seriously interfered with by a desire upon the part of a few state legislators to save money, which they will be only too glad to spend in far less altruistic fashion on something that has a definite political tinge to it. If we cant afford a new $1,5O0,000 home for the feeble-minded, we can't and that's all there is to it. But .. we don't want to watch money being poured out for other things that haven't the real value to the state as such home would have.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-12
Where Do We Come In?

Local residents are no doubt wonder ing where Waterbury will figure in the proposal of Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport that the cities of Connecticut be reimbursed two-thirds of their relief expenditures in excess of 1928 figures by the stae In sponsoring the measure, which is proposed in the list of bills brought forward by the tax survey com mission, Mayor McLevy said, "It is ob- vious to all in the state that the state must come to the relief of the towns and cities, which can no longer carry the ter rifle relief burden. -
 The only hitch in the program comes in the proposal that such reimbursement must come from general sales tax. We are opposed to the sales tax, but we ad- init that we have no alternative by which sufficient funds could be raised to allow the state to make the necessary relief reimbursements to the various towns and cities Hence, we presume, we are out ot order and outvoted in opposing the sales tax, but we still insist that it will be a burden on the man with the small income, not to mention those on relief rolls, whose means are not merely limited, but actually reduced to the barest detail.
 It is unfortunate for Waterbury that
  purposes in this city does not come under the heading of civic relief. That is &C., cording to governmental figuring. That's why Mayor Frank Hayes has been con- pelled to ask for an investigation of the ERA in Connecticut. It refuses to cer tify to Washington expenditures in Wa terbury made through the Mutual Aid. And if this isn't relief, we don't know what it is. True, it is fund financed by voluntary contributions of the citizens of the town. But suppose we had no Mu- tual Aid, what would happen?
 The city to carry the cost of the relief work here would probably be compelled to levy special taxes. And this money would come out of the pockets of the tax payers who are able to pay. In other words, it would come from those tax payers who are now supporting the Mutual Aid. The results would be the same. Now we donate voluntarily, be- cause we see the need of keeping our less fortunate brother at work. The state penalizes us for this by denying certain

worked. Until every voter is re- quired to register in person prior to every election there will always be discrepancies in registration.
 A record of persons who die, move out of the state, move to another local address or to another city in the state cannot be kept accurate and up to date under the present system. Many persons never bother to register leaving 1t up to party workers. The regis trars are charged with a lot of responsibility impossible of carry ing out to the letter. The system is haphazard and grew more so as time went on. The registrars tried to please most everybody and being elected officials themselves, and in the absence of strict regu- lations and rules to guide them specifically in all instances became, perhaps, somewhat lax. But 1t is the system that is wrong.
 This is not defense of either Mir O'Connor or MT Dillane. I think l any set of registrars are on the spot under the present system. My opinion of MT Pape is that he made the matter personal one rather than one of principle. He was more interested in getting MT Dillane out than he was in cor recting the system; although he may hide behind the cloak of prin- ciple.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-12
WRITER THINKS OUSTING OF REGISTRARS RESULT OF
 PERSONALITIES.

Waterbury, Conn.
 April II, 1885. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The publisher of the American Republican must feel proud of himself now that the registrars of voters are to be removed from of. flee. MT Pape would like to be the political boss of Waterbury. Thom. as F. Dillane, a republican, was not particularly interested in waving the banner of MT Pape. In fact 1t was generally known that MT Dill lane was anathema to MT Pape. MT Pape can be classified as an- other Hearst, on a much smaller scale. Hearst was or is a so-called successful newspaper publisher, but could never get the people to elect him to office. I don't think MT Pape could even be elected 10 the office of dog warden. If the republican party would rid them selves of MT Pape they should al- low him to get the nomination for some office. I think he would get the worst trimming possible. In fact I can't think of any citizen who would poll smaller vote than MT Pape.
 A truly big man would seek changes by way of legislation to correct a system which can never function properly under the present method of registration. The regis trars of voters, while they may have been lax, were not responsible for the system under which they
