Of Nervous Temperament. Mlsa Cue hud advanced In her stu dios unuMiially rapidly. For the past year she has stolen night hours of atudy when her parents believed her asleep. Finally, noticing her rapid physical decline, the parents used rigid rules In reducing her study hours. However, the position taken by her parents! fulled to accomplish tho object for which It was adopted. Miss Coe continued to study and wor ry over her books. She believed her chances of passing the final examina tion were meagre and from day to day became more despondent and morose. Details of her death cannot be pro cured today. Funeral services will probably be held tomorrow at Milton. The deceased was 17 years of ago. She has spent much of her early girlhood In Union county, and Is well known to many here. insrra" THIS VALLEY TO ItllLII I A WAGON HOAI VP THE UlVF.lt.

A Road Needed. In order for this company to get machinery to their mine they expend ed several thousand dollars In the construction of a wagon road leading to North Powder, and as the road has been reported to be an exception ally' good mountain road, an Observ.r representative asked Mr. Messner the (juestion, whether or not now a good wagon road built up Grande Rondc river would be the means of holding the trade this valley formerly had, prior to the building of the North Powder road, and he replied that if the county built n good rotid from Prospect ranch down the liver, that Undoubtedly the heavy shipments, such as ore and concentrates from tho mines, and heavy machinery into the mines would be hauled over it. This rond would be a few miles long er than tho North Powder rond, but It will have the advantage of a uni form water grade all the way. Mr. Messner slued that while he hud not personally been over the route which a new road would have to he built. no mauo careful Inquiry and was of the opinion that It would not be nearly so expensive as many were led to be lieve. It Is up to our business interests to give this road matter careful consideration.
