DUGAN COURTHOUSE IS
LEGAL FOR KLAMATH CO
Salem, Sept. 25.—(A. P.) —
The Supreme court in two
opinions, both by Burnett and
both affirming Judge Skip
worth, holds that the Dugan
Court house at Klamath Falls
is the legal county courthouse,
and that the site of the Hot
springs courthouse shall revert
to the Klamath county devel-
opment company. The Hot-
springs site in the east'end of
Klamath Falls was offered to
the county in 1910 by the com
pany but after the building was
started litigation held ft up
and the Dugan courthouse in
the west end was built.

OLDEST PRINT EVER FOUND
TAKEN FROM COAL MINIX
Chicago, Sept. 25.—(A. P.—The
University of Chicago has come into
possession of the oldest specimen of
a highly developed plant ever dis
covered in America, or the rest of the
world, according to (Dr. Adolph C.
Noe, professor of paleobotany.
The plant, which has been pre
served for centuries in all its minute
ness, was found in a so-called coal
ball in a mine near Harrisburg, Ill.
Coal balls are round lumps at lime
stone which form in a coal seam and
usually prevent plants from carboni
zation.
While all the vegetable matter
about the ball becomes shapeless
black coal, the forms of life within
the coal ball are perfectly preserved.
Our whole knowledge of the ancient
plants which grew millions of years
ago is derived. Dr. Noe says, from
these lumps found in coal mines.

ESTATE BY HIS NEIGHBOR
Meriden, Conn., Sept. 25.—(I. N.
S.)—"Gosh. Elmer's rich!” So ran
the news among his pals when an
nouncement appeared in the local pa
per that Elmer F. Rader, 18, star
pitcher of the high school baseball
nine, had been left the bulk of a
$75.000 estate—cash, too—under
the will of Robert W. Hallam, a re
tired factory superintendent, who
lived next door to Elmer these many
years since Elmer was born.
“Elmer’s the richest boy in
town,” said his parents, who added:
"Elmer is still going to his work in
the factory and will keep his job till
it's time for him to go back to school
in the fall.” Elmer has a job burn
ishing silver in a local factory, and
he works 10 hours a dajr and saves
his pay in spite of his wealth.
Hallam, a recluse widower, who
was not supposed to have much
money, died suddenly, without rela
tives. When his will was opened it
was found therein that Hallam had
noticed Elmer’s habit of thrift and
appreciated Elmer’s little fond at
tentions, when other boys steered
clear of his home. So the will di
rected that Elmer should get the an

FINGER READING OF THE BLIND HAS AOBED
THRILL OVER DELIGHTS OF SIGHT READING
Louisville, Sept. 28.—(A. P.)—
Laborious as finger reading may ap
pear, it possesses all the delights and
charms that sight reading gives, and
perhaps it has even an added thrill
because greater concentration is pos
sible, in the opinion of Miss Susan
B. Merwin, secretary for the Amer
ican Printing House for the Blind.
Miss Merwin is actively engaged in
the work at the printing plant here,
which is the largest establishment of
its kind in the world.
The embossed book, according to
Miss Merwin, is the cornerstone of
the education of the blind.
The
books of the American Printing
House for the Blind go to libraries
throughout this country, to the Phil
ippines, Hawaii and other distant
parts of the world.
The federal government yearly
gives $50,000 toward the upkeep of
the printing institution. In addition
to text books, the printing house
turns out the best in literature and
music, with a considerable supply of
current fiction.
Through the cooperation of the
American Bible School and other or
ganizations, the Bible is made avail
able to the blind in several kinds of
embossed print.
The embossed
books are necessarly large and cum
bersome. The New Testament in
Revised Braille consists of seven 12
by 14-inch volumes. The Revised
Braille will become after a time tho
one universal uniform system in
use by all blind readers, according
to M'.ss Merwin, who has made an
extensive study of all systems.
The production of embossed books
is a costly process. Miss Merwin
says, because of the unusual labor
involved and the comparatively small
number of copies required.
