Why George Barry Felt Embarrassed

HJOA.GO.— When Ann Marie was born on April 16, at the home of her father and mother, Mr. and Mra. c^r/x H Williamson, at 1834 GreeniZtarenue, there wm great rejoicing. But the birth was Inopportune for g«>iw Barry, twenty eight, of AvonIT Wls. He found out that fate tod brought the baby Into his life, M d as the result the police are holdlng him on a robbery charge. It seems that when little Ann Marte was born, her parents sent out cards announcing the event. Mrs. Raich Johansen of Glencoe received one of the cards. What she did with it forms part of the story. Anyway, no more was heard of It for three whole months, until Sunday, when Sergts. William J. Barnes and Thomas Kelliher arrested Barry as he was entering the Northwestern hotel, 616 West Madison street. He carried a bulging suitcase which aroused the detectives’ suspicion. There were a fur coat, five suits of men's clothing, six silk shirts, one Lueger pistol, one Smith & Wesson revolver, six watches, one diamond pendant, one pearl necklace, one sig- I net ring, one locket, one gold brooch, four watch chains, one pearl breast pin three children's rings and some other articles In the suitcase. In the fur coat was a card announcing Ann Marie's bow to the world.

Last Man Club Has

STILLWATER, MINN. — Peter Hall, Atwater, Minn., eightyfive, oldest member of the Last Man club, which held Its annual reunion here, was elected president of the organization to succeed Adam Marty, organizer and president of the club, who died last winter. The other two present were John Goff of the Minnesota Soldiers’ home, Minneapolis, and Charles Lockwood of Chamberlain, S. "D. The fourth member, Emil Graff of St. Cloud, Fla., an invalid, could not attend. These four are the only survivors cf Company B, First Minnesota infantry, which took part in the battle of Bull Run. The Last Man club was organised In 1865. There were 38 charter numbers and a bottle of wine from th« first meeting, it was decided at that time, would be drunk by the last member. Mr. Hall accepted the presidency with a short expression of gratitude and then, hesitatingly, spoke of something which has been bothering him for a long time. “Our constitution provides,” he said, “that the last man shall attend the annual banquet as usual, and drink a

Educating the National Park Visitor

Estes park, colo.— one of the things that justify the national park system is the fact that these government reservations are educational as well as recreational. They are natural history museums. They are records of the earth In Its making. And one of the purposes of the national park service is to educate the American people to see the national parks with understanding, with their heads as well as with their hearts. Thus will their enjoyment be Increased. A new departure in making Rocky Mountain National park more interesting to its visitors and giving them a more Intelligent understanding of its flowers, plants, birds, animals, trees and glacial history hns been arranged by the national park service through the employment of a naturalist well versed in those things pertaining to this region. This is a new feature In the national parks and is now also employed in Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier and Rainier. Prof. J. M. Johnson, member of the board of lecturers for the board of education of New York city, who has spent the last five summers in the Park, has been secured for these nature studies in the park this season. Professor Johnson is delivering lec-

Hustling to Build Track for Harding

SALT LAKE CITY.—A 40-mlle railroad oyer ,the desert between Lund nnd Cedar City, rushed to completion In 87 'lays at a cost of $1,049,000, was one of the incidentals In the recent reception by the state of Utah to President Harding. () n April 2, last, the right of way men, acting for the Union Pacific railroad, secured possession of the needed K’ound for the construction of the railway from the Salt Lake route main line at Lund and on the same day the first scraperful of earth was turned on the grade*. The contractor strung his men out n sections and as imst as a section yas completed, the track-laying crew i ook possession and the ties and rails were set In place. Crowding upon their heels was the ballast crew. And work was rushed toward Cedar In the midst of the orgy of toll umie word that the President of the Holted States would visit Zion National P»rk, providing the track was in shape

Barry explained everything to detectives but the card. He was plainly embarrassed. He had bought the other things for a friend. He had brought the guns from France, but the card—he was stumped. ’ There was something else the police wanted Barry to explain, too. It was In connection with a card which bore the name "George Barry," sold ti have been found on the body of Miss Jessie Doyle, a young woman who had committed suicide the preceding Friday on a rßad near Granville, Wls. On the body of the Doyle gfrl, clad In knickerbockers, was also found a note, the Milwaukee police say, which told that she had discontinued all association with George Barry, but adj mltted she had been his accomplice in numerous robberies. The Waukesha police say Miss Doyle was wanted there In connection with the theft of $3,000 worth of jewels. Are they those found In Barry’s Suitcase? Lt developed that Barry left Milwaukee Saturday night I at nine o'clock. | Meantime, the sergeants called up Mrs. Williamson an 4 she came down and Identified little Ann Mark's announcement card, which has caused Barry so much trouble. The fur coat has also been Identified as belonging to Mrs. Johansen

But Four Members toast to his dead comrades. With this rite he will close the books of the Last Man club. "But It has occurred to me. as perhaps It has to you, that that last banquet would be a sad occasion, and I want to make a suggestion which we enn decide at our next meeting. That Is that the last two men shall drink the toast and break up the club.” A problem of considerable importance was created when Mr. Hall was elected president. Mr. Hall had been secretary of the club and it became necessary to elect another secretary. The choice, naturally, was between Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Goff. Mr. Lockwood nominated Mr. Goff. Mr. Goff nominated Mr. Lockwood. The vote was to be viva voce, and each voted "aye" for the other It therefore had to be decided by the president, who tossed a coin and elected Mr. Goff secretary. The banquet and the business meeting over, the three old comrades shook hands and went their ways to brave another year. Each one departed with the same words. “Well, see you next year." And each one wondered, perhaps if he would.

tures on an arranged schedule at the various hotels that will be open and free to the public and the following day he conducts a trip from the hotel, studying In actual life the subjects covered in the lecture of tfle evening before. The lectures have been so arranged that one topic is discussed during the week at the various meeting places and the second topic taken up the week following, etc. Some of tlie topics are: "The Wild Flowers of the Park," "The Birds of the Park and How to Preserve Them,” “The Trees of the Park and Forest Conservation." “Mighty Beasts of the Past —With Special Reference to Pre-Historic Colorado," “The Face of the Park and How It Was Made.” Rocky Mountain is one of the granite parks and consists of a unmatched area of lofty peaks and beautiful valleys perched on top of the Colorado Continental Divide. Glacial action and erosion are everywhere In evidence and are both accessible and easy to read. The forest* are impressive. The flowers include many species. The bird families are well represented and all these things are close at hand for Professor Johnson and his nature students.

for his big special train upon his arrival in the West. Every man on the system from the highest executive to the lowest section hand plunged into the work with redoubled energy. Only 48 hours before the arrival of the President's train the depot site at Cedar City was strewn with foundations and debris left from the removal «f houses torn down. Ballast trains brought in clean white gravel. An approach 20 feet wide for automobile travel was graded and surfaced and grounds were roped off. Twelve hours before the President's train was due the electricians were erecting poles and stringing the lights along the railway track and the station yard. During the construction of the new branch, ballast trains bringing gravel were given right of way over every Other train on the Salt Lake route main line. The biggest day’s output was 119 cars. In the eighty-seven days nearly one-half million tons of gravel were hauled an average distance of 100 miles.

DECATUR DAIIY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, AUG. 28, 1923.

LEON CRAWFORD, FORMER DECATUR BOY, TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE WEST

Leon Crawford, former Decatur boy writes one of bis old friends as follows: — July 31, 1923. —A few years of wandering certainly brings on a lot of rhages, both in locality and in ones life, and when I look back to Decatur, I can hardly grasp the fullness of my own change since leaving there. During all my stay In California both in San Francisco and Ix>s Angeles ami in all my travels during the period of war. I don't think I have enjoyed any place as much as I have this part of Oregon, The reason 1 give for that is the wonderful oppor (unity one has to enjoy the great out doors. First the wonderful air that we enjoy at the 4200 ft. elevation where Klamath Falls pits, then the good fishing and hunting and the wonderful scenic points nround here. Klamath Falls itself is a very modern wide awake little city of about six thousand souls. 11. owes its existance mostly to the timber in the surrounding country. With the in creased irrigation trough the farming is coming into its own. and is commencing to be looked upon as a source of the county's assets. With the coming of good roads and | highways, Klamath County and the neighboring Oregon and California counties are fast shedding their frontier appearance. However, one has only to go a few miles in any direction from here to still see the plains, with the cattle and sheep and the old time cowboys and herders. An occasional Rodeo or Round-up where one gets to see all stunts of the early west, keeps the memory of the pioneer days fresh in the mind. Just a week ago Sunday, we took a ride down to the Lava Beds and Ice Caves. To me this is one of the most interesting trips around this part o! the country. This is all just across the California border, but it seems more like it belonged to Oregon When you see those miles and miles of nothing but lava rock it certainly makes you think of the hot place. Cer tain sections of this is honey combed with caves, many of which are Ice caves. Guides are available there and it is very interesting to spend five or six hours walking and crawling through these caves. In no two caves do you see the same formation on the walls or ceilings. in one the Crystal Cave you see snow am’ ice in every formation. In the first chain her or rather on the first floor there is snow the year around, on the second floor you see the Stalactites and Stalagmites, which I call immense icicles, and on the walls and floors there are solid masses of ice. Then you creep and crawl to a lower cham her and behold the walls and ceiling-' lined with ice crystals in all shapes and sizes, sparkling in the light of your torch like so many diamonds. The lava beds and caves besides being interesting for their pecular forma tions also have a historic interest because they were the battle g-ounds of the Modoc Indian War. This country is popular with the Hunter, because of the sage chickens and the big Mule Tail Deer. Another favorite trip of ours is to Rocky Point on Eagle Ridge, resorts on the West side of Upper Klamath Lake, that immense body of water on whose lower edge lies Klamath Falls At either Rocky Point or \n?l3 Ptdge you are on the lake's edge and also is the heart of forest of immense and beautiful timbers. Just a few minutes away from shore at these places and you are ready to battle with real fish. A trout under four pounds in those waters is considered a pool catch and you seldom have to hothei with any that small. A strike there I from anything over four or five 'pounds means ten to thirty minutes of real pleasure and a pretty proud feeling when you haul him in. Upper Klamath Lake" although the largest ' body of fresh water West of the Great Lakes is well stock ■'J with Tainbou trout ar. i it is seldom that anyone fad-' to get some when thev gi after them. Many of the rivers are also stocked with large Rainbow and Salmon, and one tires of the big fish there are countless streams well stockeel with (Dolly Vaiden and other mountain trout. These streams are a little harder to get to and the fish a little more difficult to catch on account of the clearness of the water. But these fish thrown fresh into the frying pan g've one a meal worth any effort to get. For a trip of diversified amusements and wonders there is Chater Lake, the pride of Klamath county and Oregon. Just a few minutes out of Klamath Falls and the highway skirts the Up-

DEMOCRAT WANT ADS GET RESULTS

per Klamath lake and for twenty miles you ride along side of it with the snow clad peaks of Shasta. Pitt, and all lascade peaks of which you get a natural view by looking west across the lake and which you can also see beutifully reflected in the lake. At Modoc Point where busy mills is located yon leave the lake and start traveling through the, wide stretching and vastly interesting lands of the Klamath Indian Res‘rvation. While traveling through there the highway again hits another beautiful little lake known as the Agency laike, this lake is joined to Upper Klamath. There you get into come of the open country around Fort Klamath, another place historic for its connection with the Indian war. This place is now noted for its cattle and it is a wonderful sight to see the thousands of herd grazing in the fields For tKlamath is only a vilage of a couple hundred people but is quite* a lively and interesting little place, especially when celebrating which is quite frequently. From there on the trip to Crater lake is entirely through forest beautiful in shrubbery and' stately with its large trees. Aftel j passing the toll station the large trip becomes more interesting as you ride along Anna Creek Canyon which is beautiful no matter what spot you ■hoose to stop and look down to its beautiful little stream. The snow ilong the way is now all melted but when we went up on July 4th the road for the last mile and half was banked on both sides with from two to six feet if snow quite a sight for July 4th. When you reach the rim you have climbed over those thousand feet, but | it is a gradual grade and there are I only a couple grades that require low j gear work. Crater lake itself is beyond my pow-! er of description, never until one walks ' or rides to the edge of that Crater | ind looks down can they realize the beauty of Crater Lake, then you can see why they say that no pen has over properly described it nor Canvas ’ruthfully portrayed it. Just a few i days ago I read where a woman began Tying when she first looked at Crater j Lake so impressive was the scene. I -emembered telling mother that mt irst sight of it last year, almost effected me that way. and the same 'eeling comes over me every time I look at it. This immense Crater is twenty four miles around at the top and it is one thousand feet straight down from any point to the water. There is a trail winding down to the lake which covers extreme depth of the water makes it appear a deep blue ■olor, which seems a different shade ■*very time you look at it. Tire* water is so clear that near the edge you can tee the sides of the Crater for fifty feet down. A boat side near the diore gives you a wonderful view of the under water formation, also with i trolling like out one get some wonlerfud trout. I hope a little later to be able to go and stay a week at Crater Nat’l Park. The wonders of Klamath County could keep me writing for hours, but for your sake guess I had better cut it short. Besides liking Klamath County for ill its interesting country. I also' '.ike it because of my business connei -1 •ion and the prospect for the future. I The company I am with is a very. well organized corporation and very, much up-to-date in its line. The i nrincipal stock holders are the Mar-1 tin brothers who have considerable, other holdings here, including a large I flour mill, several general merchanlise stores in neighboring villages, and interests in several other projects. With a seventeen per cent cash divilent, last year on a seventy-five thousand dollar capitalization, and you might know there would not be! much stock for sale, but one of the Martin brothtrs is anxious to see me stay so is going to let me have some stock as soon as I can handle it which I hope will be very soon. Last but not least, rather best of all, is my charming wife who makes life really worth while. She has certainly made life happy for me since we have been married, being both tbi-j ideal wife during the week in the] management of our home, and ideal , companion on all our week ends to! the hills and streams. Uncles Will has promised to visit i us on his way to California and w<* | ■ire both tickled to death to have him . I wish that you were coming with him I and would also pay us a visit, I am j sure I could show you some wonderful j country and give you some real fish- j ing. The size of this city often brings I back memories of happy days in De 1 catur. Very truly yours T.ir.niM tt cßAwmnn
