Han- son, one of our most progressive and public spiirted citizens, died sudden- 1y at his home, six miles north of Bagley Thursday. The deceased was thirty-five years old, and the cause of his demise was lockjaw, resulting from getting a sliver under his thumb nail about two weeks ago. TOURISTS REACH CALIFORNIA. (Santa Ana News.) “California’s good roads certain- 1y looked good to Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Covey of Bagley, and their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Zacharias and two children, who ar- rived in Santa Ana this week via the Ford route. After ploughing through Middle Western mud and many miles of rocks,the smooth, level highways of the Golden States were most heartily welcomed. It seems they traveled about 1,000 miles on rocks of all sizes and shapes, according to Covey, and each of the cars wore out a set of tires on the 3000 mile journey. Tire troubles, however, Were their only troubles and during the trip no delays whatever were caused by mechanical breaks. “Immediately upon arriving in Santa Ana, camp was pitched in the new Central Auto Parking yard at Third and Bush streets, the cars were washed and cleaned up, and preparations made for spending the winter in this state. Mr. and Mrs. Covey will remain in Santa Ana throughout the winter and probably next summer will wind up their af- fairs in Minnesota, so they may live here the rest of their days. They are now visiting their nephew and wife, :Mr. and Mrs. Edward Foster, with apartments over the Temple theatre, and have also called upon Ira Annis| AMERICANS WILL BE THERE of 615 Cypress street, an old-time Minnesota neighbor. 1aey still ““hgve' their “temt-at- Central- Park- ing yard, but expect to get apart. ments for the winter. “Mr. and Mrs. Zacharias have gone on to San Francisco to visit a sister and will spena the winter, in San Francisco or in Santa Ana. Rained Most All the W-- “Three days out from home, the Covey party “enjoyed” an all-night rainstorm, and from then on until they hit the California line at Needles were either in rainstorms or traversed territory over which the storms had just passed. And the farmers hadn’t had any rain for two months and are planning to send for the Coveys when another dry spell comes on. The route followed by was through Towa, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico and Arizona. “Mr. Covey is interested in two large general merchandise stores back home and also owns three farms, so he will have to return there in the spring, but is going to leave his car in Santa Ana so it will be here when he returns to stay. “Four years ago when Mr. Covey visted in Santa Ana after a visit to the exposition at San Francisco he had a chance to buy a ten-acre ranch near here for $50 an acre, and was assured he would get his money has, however, just celebrated the completion of her section -of the line which will join Ax-les-Thermes in France with Ripoll in Spain. The line between these jumnctions was first proposed by M. Delcasse, in 1903, when he as minister of Foreign Affairs inserted this proposition in the Franco-Spanish convention. The line should have been completed in 1917. In France the work was pushed forward rapidly and would have been completed on schedule had not the war interrupted. In Spain the work was carried on. On Sunday, August 10, under the ‘presidency of M. Galdes Canyero, un- der secretary of 'state for Fomento, the completion of the first section from Ripoll to Ribas, a distance of fifteen kilometres, was celebrated at Ribas, near the frontier.

This is justice indeed, since birds flew first. But this is not all. Recently many towns along the Atlantic coast have i been visited with dead bird showers. Aviators fiying by a town would see a flock of wild fowl coming their way. They would set their machine guns and let the bullets fly. Presently a prominent citizen walk- ing below would be hit with a large, bloody bird. He complained to the town, and the town complained to the department of agriculture.

He wants to get about quickly, and Abyssinia, with nothing faster than a pack mule, offers no induce- ments of rapid transportation. *“That, it seems,” said the Abyssinian, “has kept the American man out of our country. It is too bad. We need bridges like yours, we need streets like yours, and we need men like yours to direct the building of them.” Commer- cially and industrially, however, the truth probably is that Abyssinia has not beea “discovered.” and when that happens the American man will come and build his own rapid transporta- tion.
