Altho terribly Injured she retained consciousness until a half hour be fore her death. Internal Injuries was (he direct cause of death. According to Mrs. Prultfs story and Investigation made by her hus band's relatives, Mrs. Prultt who was crossing the street was compelled to dodge back In front of Mr. Crane's low moving north bound auto to escape a faster moving one coming from the south.

The adventures of two French stracelers. Serceunt Lcsquern and Private Levesnue, who becoming separated from their units after the buttle of Charlerio. remained in hiding for taore than four venrs in German occupied territory are told in the newspaper La Victoria. In.the earlv davs of the war civilians helped the two soldiers but as the German domination, became weightier, they toon to tne woods. - They made their home in the forest of Sapoeme in the vieinitv of Sedan. Their dwelling was n. dugout so con cealed that it was never discovered, although the forest which harbors wild boar an4 other game was a fa vorite hunting ground for German of ficers. , The, French stragglers lived on wild animals, hare and other game. One German who ventured into too close proximity to their dugout is also buried where he' fell. ' Thev made one attempt to escape in 1916, but on the Dutch frontier thev wore shot at bv the German sen tries and the sergeant was wounded, so the two of them returned to their forest. ' The-severe winter of 1916 brought them terrible sufferings. Thev i were snowed in and almost starved. Thev owe their lives to an.old Bel gian poacher and smuggler who. thru out all the years of their adventures, helped- them' with- provisions. Thev are now in a French hospital recov ering from the effects of their pri vations., , ,' KILLED IN SEATTLE ' Relative to the tragic death of Earl Bailev of Jacksonville. at Seattle last week a letter from Mrs. Willium Hen . rv. received by the young man s mother Thursday evening gave only a few details. The voung man was walking on the railroad track and was Btruck by the engine of a train whose approach had been unnoticed and was instantly killed. .Earl Bailev was the son of Mr. and Mrs. V. P. Bailev of Jacksonville and was aged about 19 years. Most of his life was spent at the County sent, where, he attended the public schools.,. After leaving school he was employed bv the Southern Oregon Traction company on the logging train and the trolley car. In the summer of 1918. Earl enlisted in the naval reserves and was in the service at the Seattle' naval training station until January, 1919, when he was released and placed in the reserve class sub ject to call whenever needed., After , his Tclense from the navy he 'visited his family in Jacksonville for a week or so nnd then went back to Seattle expecting to go to Alaska. Besides his parents, he leaves two brolhors: Ralph Bailev of Eastern Oregon. Glen Bailev of the U. S. navy stationed at Christobal, Canal Zone. nnd five sisters : Mrs. Vera Honrv of Sumner. Wash.. Mrs. Jewell Binn of Bremerton. Wash., and Misses Edith, : Mollis nnd Wilmn, at their pnrents home in Jacksonville. The funeral was held Wednesday and was conducted according to the nnvnl custom. The pall bearers were nil rmvv men who had been ncnuninled with the deceased. ' Floral . tributes were many nnd beautiful. .;;.. ',. , TEN MILLION S F WASHINGTON. Mar. 10. The de velopment of the National Forest road systems In Oregon and Wash ington Is given great empetus by the terms of the post office appropriation act. which the president has just signed. Besides Increasing by $200,- 000,000 the total fund available un der the federal aid roads act, the new law makes available for expenditure by the secretary of agriculture $9,- 000.000 for roads and trials within or partly within the forests. - The law als6 authorlies the secre tary of war to transfer to the secre tary of agriculture material, equip ment, and supplies suitable for high way improvement and not needed by the war department. While most of thlB will be distributed among the highway commissions of the states tor use on federal aid projects, not to exceed ten per cent may be reserved by the secretary of agriculture tor use In building national forest roads or other roads constructed under his direct supervision. . MiUntaiitance included The 19,000,000 fund may be used for maintenance as well as survey and construction. The now legisla tion, like the federal aid roads act. makes the building of roads and trails necessary for thet use and de velopment of national forest re sources or desirable for the proper administration, protection, and Im provement of any forest contingent upon local contributions; but in ad dition to this it contains a new fea ture of much Importance. This new feature permits the sec retary of agriculture, without the co operation of local officials, to build and maintain "any road or trial with in a national forest which he finds necessary for the proper administra tion, protection, and Improvement of suAi forest, or which in bis opinion la of national importance." In the view of forestry officials this law, Is the most important step ever taken tor rapid development of a uatlonal forest roads Bystem, and will be of inestimable oeneflt to the local pub lic..;,-. , -; Ten Millions Available The measure gives us much broad er scope 'for a fully developed pro gram than we have had before," says Henry S.- Graves, chief of the forest service,- in commenting on the new law. "Under the federal aid roads act we had available, for roads with in 6r partly within the forests," one million dollars a year, available until fexpended. Owing to the war; which practically halted the work, we have an accumulated balance of 22,500, 000 unexpended and another $1,000, 00 which will become available July 1st. ' '-' : .-. . ' " . . 'Of the new appropriation 23,00,- 000 is immediately available, ' and 23,000,000 will become available July 1. There will also be available 2400,000 or more from the ten per cent of national forest receipts. Alto gether,- therefore, we have in sight for the coming year about $10,000, 000, if we can use it advantageously. Whatever we can't use advantageous ly will be added to the 24,000.000 of new " money that becomes available the following year. - We already have our plans for approved road projects sufficiently shaped up so that a prompt start will be possible as soon as the weather permits. In some cases, however, these plans must necessarily be sus pended on account of pending propo sals for the creation of national parks affecting national forest lands. It would be obviously Improper to ex pend the funds intended and voted by congress for the development and protection of the national forests on areas which may soon cease to be national forests. - !HHiiiiiHiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiininiiii(iiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiis 2 -. ...

Night policeman Adams nnd Speed Coo McDonald testified that while thev wore in tho police lioadouartois office Saturday night a week ago, Acv Martin entered nnd doolnrcd that lie know where ho could buy n half pint of booxo. for $5. The officers thereupon furnished 'Mart in with a marked $5 bill and ho nt once left to make the purchase. Fifteen minutes later Martin returned with tho wtiis kov. nnd the officers hurried vto a cigar store and placed llendricksou under arrest and found tho murked hill upon him. Martin told the of ficers that he was driven in a taxicub bv Uendrickson to tho Jackson street bridge where he paid over tho money and was given tho wbiskev. The testimony was corroborated in evcrv particular bv Martin on tho witness stand, ami H. R, Tnnmi. a taxi cab driver, -who was subpoenaed bv tho state, and testified that ho had taken tho two men in his auto out to the bridge nnd back. Adams and McDonald also testi fied that after his arrest llendrick- son admitted to them that ho was representing nnothcr man in selling the whiskey, but refused to divulge his, name. , . On the witness stand Hcndrickson made a complete denial of having sold the whiskey to Martin, and also de nied the other allegations made. His attorney, Rowles Moore, placed II. C. Garnett and ".Toggery Bill" on tho witness stand and these two business men declared that Acv Martin's repu tation, for verncitv was worthless. The attorney also brought out the fact that Martin had been sentenced to jail for non-support of his family. Ben and J. L. Gentry, cousins of Uendrickson, testified that thev had been with him n large port of Satur day night and saw nor heard nothing of the alleged booze transaction. L. O. Coggins, nlso testified that he had taken a walk with Uendrickson thnt night and neither saw or heard of the booze affair. The jury which returned the ver dict was composed of Harry Lofland. C. J. Haas, J. W. Hockorsmith, James Boiling. L. D. Bingham and Ernest White. . - ' BARBER HELD FOR VIOLATION OF MANN L t J. D. Johnson, a barber from Pow ere.
