NORTH TO
STUDY PAVING
The county court Judge George
A. Gardner, nnd Comniltwloners Vic
tor BurseW and George Alford leave
today far the upntnte district), to
Btudy paving matertul, and glean
formation appertaining to the paving
of the road from Med ford to Kuch
Among the matters will be an ef
fort to find out whether cement pav
ing or black paving Is the bent, their
merits and dementi, cost of laying,
etc., etc. They will also find out from
officlulH of Marlon county, which
luying Its own pavements how they
are muking It, from a financial and
conttt ruction standpoint, with a view
to ilolriK the same thing In Jackson
county.
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. Prospect Is not so keen for
the rond. so the county court extend
ed the district.
Butte Falls is one of tho few rond
districts In the county that has ex
hibited such commendable enthusiasm
for nrogresslveness, according to
members of the court.
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.
After killing his victims Larson
poured kerosene over their bodies nnd
Ignited It but before they had been
consumed beyond recognition, neigh
bors extinguished the flames.
FIRST COLLAPSED 4 VKAKS AGO
(Continued From Page One)
lors of the president In whom he al
ways had Implicit confidence and It
was Mr. Baruch with whom he con
ferred last whon he wns setting forth
upon his ill-fated trip for tho peace
treaty.
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.
Speech On Armistice Day.
On Armistice ove ho delivered his
first address hv radio from his K
street home and It was such a mill
tant utterance on foreign affairs that
the whole country realised his Illness
had not modified the tntentness of his
old, fighting 8dntt whatever might
have been done to his physical being
file also met a group of admirers on
Armistice day and two weeks ago
nhoolc hands with members of the
democratic national committee as
they filed through his Btudy.
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
