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.

Mr. Messner Is confident that after j
they have made the showing they

that there are quite a number of

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.
