The county court will alHo confer With thtl state highway commission on fine points connected with the Ruch-Medfurd road, and expects to be bot-k by Tuesday. At a meeting Wed n em ay afternoon. the county court extended the Butte Falls road district, practically up to the Prospect district, at the reiieHt of citizens In the Hutte Falls district Last year the Bi(tte Fulls district voted a speciul levy of $14,000 for road building towards Prospect, and are In the notion to do the same thing again this year. The road will even tually connect up with the . Crater Lake Highway at Prospect, and the reason the district Is bo keen for tho roadbulldlng Is the belief that with a decent road they will attract some of the tourist travel, to their own town.

Daily Report on the Crime Wave LAKOTA, X. D Feb. 1. Murder In the first degree whs the charge to day facing Theodore Iarson, a farmer of near ICdlnburg, whose desire to possess his four year old daughter prompted him to kill his wife, Mrs. Nellie Larson, 32 years old, her two sisters, Helen Quanbeck, 36, and Emma, 81. and his hroiher-ln-luw, Olaf Arneson. They were shot down When they sought to frustrate his ef forts to seize and carry off his' child.

Another who cnlled during tho mor ning was Vance McCormick, former chairman of tho democratic national committee and also nn old friend. An Anxious Night - Dr. Grayson had spent the night nt the Wilson home and with Mrs. Wil son was In constant attendance nt the bedside. He had returned to tho cap ital yesterday from a trip Into Northi Carolina after word had renched him that the former president had devel oped symptoms of a new character. The present complication although a surprlso to those who have been accustomed to see Mr. Wilson taking Ms daily automobile ride through the city or his weekly trip to the theater, was not wholly unexpected to his physicians. Outwardly tho former president had appeared to be In large part his old self, except for a deepening of the lines of his face and the lingering affliction to his left leg which pre vented him from walking except with evident difficulty. Ho hns gained in weight and at a distance has the ap peurauce of having taken on a new robustness during his long months of semi-seclusion. - During the past few weeks, too, he has taken an lncreuslng purt In public affairs again. He has been very active In his exchange of letters with old friends and admirers over the country and many of his letters have been on topics of current . political interest and have been published.

But those who knew the Inside story of the years of solitude through which he has passed were aware of the delicate bslance upon which his physical strength has rested and knew how It hnd tilted now this way and now that throughout the gulbint fight of Dr. Orayson not only his physic tan but one of his closest personal friends to avert a crisis. , H was for this reason that every disorder, even of the most Inconse quential character on its face, had een watched with the minutest cure and not without misgivings. The first symptoms of the latest attack developed early this week when Mr. Wilson became a prey to ft digestive derangement, at first of a minor character, hut developing quickly into a condition that aroused the concern of those who have watch- d his Illness in li mulR-st peculiar JUt. .. . , Oregon News in Brief SALEM, Ore., Feb. 1.
