right over the cliff. Injured, the
boy filed suit against the state for
damages-under a law authorizing
such claims in cases OF negligence.
State officials argued that the boy
had only himself to blame for
losing his footing, but the court
ordered the claim paid. The Judge
said that such dangerous spot
should have had warning signs OF
guard rails to protect the unwart

A house in a congested neigh

the town ordered the dynamiting

flames-and the firemen carried
out his order. This helped stop the
blaze, but it made the owner of
the house very angry. In fact, he
later sued the mayor for the value
OF the building. However, the
court turned down the citizens
claim.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
BUS LINE DISCONTINUED
BECAUSE OF BAD ROADS,
LACK OF PATRONAGE

FREEZING, Aug. 20. Special
AS has been feared would hap
pen for some time, the passenger
bus on the Pound River road has
been discontinued because of the
bad condition of the road and b.
cause of lack of patronage. The
road along Pound River YVES
built by WPA workers during the
depression. A good rock base was
laid down and this road is prob
ably on the best grade of any
road in the county. Constant
wear is making pot holes in the
base and the road is now in bad
shape. If this road was thorough
ly repaired and hard it
would be great and lasting help
to this section-a section that bad
ly needs some recognition along
this line. People who have beer
accustomed to going to and from
Clintwood on the bus to trade
and transact business will sorely
miss the convenience afforded
while the bus was operated. More
people should have patronized
the bus line than did instead o.
thumbing rides on passing trucks
and cars to save few cents.

The landlord of an apartment

and then forgot to replace it. That

rushed down to help her-and he

should have waited moment until
his eyes got used to the darkness.

OUR OLD PEOPLE
By HAMPTON OSBORNE

For sure, Morgan T Smith
knew his walnut trees, and the
firm of Hensley and Tate knew
he knew them. He recalls the day
when a man could make a living
tracking down a curly grained
walnut tree in the Dickinson
wilderness.
And with a chuckle, he can
remember when he wore "a neck
lace"
Once he bought what he be-
lieves was the largest walnut
tree that ever grew in the United
States. Its giant trunk rose on a
hillside several miles east of
Haysi. The tape ran out to 10 IL
feet when he measured its cir
cumference, and its diameter was
six feet across.
Although he paid only So for
the tree, the Hensley and Tate
Lumber Co. received $4,000 for
the lumber they sawed from ths
huge log and sold in its entirety
to Singer Sewing Machine Co.
The tree was sawed where il
was felled in the woods. The log
was cut into short lengths and
hauled around steep ridge.
So priced receipt could
hardly be obtained without ex-
citing some unwelcome toll il
the removal of the log. At this
steep place, one of the heavy
logs rolled, caught and killed on,
of the company's best steers.
In 1888, when he was young,
Smith began his timber-buying
career. The Hensley and Tate
Lumber Co. had come into South
west Virginia and was buying
most of the walnut timber thai
could be found, paying So pei
tree through their buying agents.
Smith was but boy but
through the influence of BUSH
ness man at Wise, he was given
$50 to start Off and buy timber.
When he came back he had
bought 33 walnut trees for the
$50, and the company superinten
dent was so pleased that he Of
fered to place $500 in Smiths
young hands for another buying
venture.
But Smith refused. He would
never take more than 500 at a
time. He bought much timber
and cleared for the company
more than any other man who
had bought walnut timber.
Smith has been a farmer and
trader all Of his life and made

ALL HANDS AC0G: 4-TAILED WHATzlT
 ON OREGON COAST

DELAKE, Ore, March 6-tR-This coastal town was still full today of sightseers looking over the mysteri- ous hunk of sea life variously known as Hubby" "The Monster" and the Prehistoric Goose"
 But none of the visitors could prefer any definite statement as to what the hairy 500 to 1000 pound thing is.
 There were various theories on the identity of the huge, tailed, odiferous whatzit which the surf cast up on the shore here Saturday.
 A University of Washington zoo- logy professor, going on telephoned descriptions, said it sounded like a giant squid.
 Never saw a squid bit like that" retorted residents.
 Another group thought it might be the entrails of whale.
 Certainly not; it's got a mouth and tails" retorted residents.
 The animal-if it is an animal was too wave-battered for anyone to be sure just what it did have.

"pETTIC0AT FEVER" NEEDS TWO MEN FOR
 MINOR STAGE ROLES

"Petticoat Fever" the first of sev- eral plays to be produced in the 1850 season by the Juneau Players, will be presented March 3l and April l.
 This three-act farce, authored by Mark Reed and first produced at the Ritz Theatre, New York City stars well-known Juneauites-Dick Peter, Don Pegues, Alice Reilly, and Pat Peterssn, and is directed by Dennis Campbell.
 Although principal roles have been filled, two lesser male roles are still open. Anyone interested in these roles is invited to contact Campbell at the Gastineau Hotel.
 The Juneau Players is an organi- zation of people living in and neal Juneau who are interested in the theatre-not only acting, but also stage design, scenery, costumes makeup, lighting, and general busi- ness management. It offers me dium of expression as we'll as prac- tical experience to those residents who would not otherwise have the opportunity to satisfy their interest in this age-old art.
 Like other organizations that suc- ceed, Juneau Players is guided by competent, interested people-Mrs Katherine D. Nordale, it's president, and secretary treasurer Mrs. Rich ard Peter. Dennis Campbell, direc- tor of the Players, has had fifteen years experience with little theater groups.
 Because of his intense devotion to this work, even in the midst of more practical matters like war, Camp bell has reaped a rich harvest of practical and aesthetic knowledge which is certain to prove of invalu- able aid and inspiration to the people with whom he is now work ing.
 The Juneau Players would like to again extend to any interested Ju-
