What With Marvelous Scenery, Galloping Henry’s Ailments and Sheriffs Wit, Times Explorers Enjoy Brown County Hills

Those Who Miss Sight in Fail Are Wasting Their Sundays, By JOHN L. NIBLACK YER the hills and far away—(j To those of Indianapolis V' who are luck}' —or foolhardy enough—to own an automobile, or know where they can borrow one, 1 let me say here and now that if they have never seen Brown County,! Indiana, in the fall they are wasting j their Sundays. There they may view—as did The j Times explorers—rugged forest-clad hills and valleys unexcelled for sheer I beauty by the famed Ozark hills or, the Blue Ridge of Virginia. From the top of Weed Patch hill I they may survey the hills melting ! into the far distance in a purple • haz<“, their sides splashed by the | vivid reds and oranges of summer j i leaves gay in death. They wil! be standing in the cen- i ter of about 8,000 acres now being i bought for a State game preserve i and park. Through the efforts of some far-seeing Brown County citizens one of the last bits of Indiana as the pioneers saw it is to be preserved. Land Costs S9 an Acre Lee Bright, real estate dealer of Nashville, picturesque county seat of j Brown County, and Sheriff Samuel , Parks, with infinite patience and j overcoming no end of discourage-rm-*nt. arc the two men who secretly ■ obtained options on the 8.000 acres, working with the State department jof conservation. The land will cost an average of $9 an acre, because j nobody knew about the move, and ; did not "get wise,” :o Mjffrde Parks. (. Hopes of a paved north ani south i road from Indianapolis through | Brown County in the next few I years was expressed by Parks, who ! is as proud of the deal as of a naw ; baby. Although the immediate en l j of the purchase is for the game pr - ; serve, the utimate goal, according i .to the sheriff, is the finest State park in Indiana. A hundred acre: I ! or more on the top and slopes of : Weed Patch would be the part improved first for park purposes. But let me describe the details of the trip taken with J M. Moore, easy-going Times photographer, in ; Galloping Henry, the ancient Bli ‘which serves us at the same time j as transportation and chiropractor. | ‘•‘■djusting the kinks In the spine an 1 making liver medicine needless. 4. M. Buys Some “( hewing” The firs? stop out was at a tobacco store, for J. M. found hjs supply of ••chewing” low. Then we hit the high places south, down the Madi- ! son road to Franklin. Henry pur- i ring like he was the ten-millionth flivver instead of the 905th or thereabouts. Adn the high places began, you can take it from us. as soon as the caravan hit the city limits of Frank- 1 lin. Ind. In common with Bloom- ; mg:on and Bedford. Franklin seems , to think the way to have tourists j stop a while is to shake them out J of the auto. State road No. 1 from ! Franklin to Columbus also tried ; Henry's soul, and the way the glas-=> 1 and iron rattled and shook as we soared over the “washboard" gravel ridges was exciting, to say the least. "I think we got a couple of flat ] tires.” screamed J. M above the din. after a few miles. “What did you say?” "Rounds like we're going to pieces on a reef," he yelled. “Think we'er running on four flat tires.” Investigation, however, revealed everything ship-shape, except the j quiet when we stopped shocked our ; ears. Henry Is Grateful Everything must end. and when j we rolled into Columbus the roads | ] got hetftr. Columbus has nice pa cement clear through the town, an 1 j Henry growled inwardly In satLj faction at the change. A few miles out of Columbus we ran onto a line gravel highway. State Rd. 26, from Columbus to Bloomington, through Nashville. The part in Brown County is about the best ever navigated, and D smoother than finest pavement. Over hill and through dalo the red road winds, beneath trees and beside a creek. J. M. relaxed and bit off a chew, having been afraid to try before for fei r of swallowing it. We dashed up a final hill and so came to Nashville, long famous for its log jail and the fact It Is the only ebunty seat in Indiana not on a railroad. The old log jail has not been used for eleven years, we were informed by Sheriff Parks, whom we found in overalls busy scrubbing out the two men’s cells, recently occupied by eight prisoners, due to an unprecedented “crime wave.” Four of the prisoners were in for liquor law violations, he said, and are now in State prisons. Two more were in for stealing, and the others were held in connection with the death of "Barrel House Jen,” an Indianapolis character who came to her end while in a drunken spree “camping over there in the hills, ’ according to the sheriff. Needs an Army "Oh. yes, I have plenty of trouble with these liquor law violators,” he said. "These hills and hollows make a fine place for a still, but I get ’em now and then.

one deputy can do, though, ts to sort of keep ’em down. It would take fifty men to clear all these hills of stills. I wear out anew flivver every year in the search.” The sheriff and family live in the front end of the new cement jailMrs. Sheriff Parks had just hum; out some week-end washing in the jail yard, and this, with the fact he had on overalls, made the sheriff a litte doubtful .about us taking a picture of the jail. 110 finally consented to pose on the steps, remarking, “You can't make a Democrat look any better these times, anyhow.” The sheriff said if we would Wait until he changed clothes he would take us over to Weed Patch Hil, where the new preserve and park will be. So we wandered around awhile, looking at Nashvile. The town has 350 population. A lot of the elderly men were sitting on benches in front of the rod brick courthouse, swapping tales. The benches were so crowded some had to sit on the grass. “If a squirrel climbed up a tree a foot in the day and slipped back a foot in the night, how long would he be in getting to the top, Jim?” one of the idlers asked another. “You ain't going to get me to bite on none of them jokes of yourn no more,” replied the other, so tve never did hear the mystery unravelled. Regular Land Deal "Say, what’s this about you selling some timber to a foreigner from Indianapolis, and now tryin to make out the land was included in the deal?” the sheriff, who now arrived, Joked another of the bench-warmers. We took it the Brown County land is not very valuable for farming purposes, if the owners try to slip it off that way. In fact, according to Sheriff Parks, about all "'she’s good for is to raise h — and persimmons on.” Later, he confided the land is getting more valuable, as many persons from Indianapolis are putting up summer cottages. About 3,000

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

! visitors view the old log jail on sumj mer Sundays. j Taking a look at Galloping Henry, the Sheriff opined we would do better to navigate the steeps of Weed Patch in his flivver. First, however, lie had to dislodge his favorito coon dog from a sound sleep in the bank j seat, and tie him. up. j “You see, every time 1 go out in | the car, ho thinks wo’re going hunting, so he sleeps in the back seat not to miss anything,” Parks explained as he dragged tho hound away. The sheriff explained the purchases he and Bright negotiated for the State, beginning to take options more than a year ago. Kept It Quiet “We kept it quiet, atjd the price never went up at all, he said. “Even the local banker didn’t know anything about It. Some of the land was owned by ‘foreigners,' that is non-natives here, and when they got our letters about, the options, some of them came down to see their possessions, many for the first time. The first thing they thought when we offered to buy their land was that oil had been found. "I showed one lady from California around her farm of eighty acres. 'Just where does my land lay, sheriff?’ she asked. ‘Madam, it don’t lay, it hangs,’ I replied. And that’s the way with most of this 8,000 acres. It. wil make a fine park, though, and we got it just in the nick of time, because all this land will soon be bought up for summer resort purposes.” Galloping Henry, however, did get to make a trip up Weed Patch, after all. because J. M. forgot some of his paraphernalia and we had to go back. A view from the hill top—it is really a young mountain —gives the spectator some idea of how the pioneers must have felt as they gazed at the forests of Indiana for the first time. Saucepans, baking tins and similar utensils should be filled with clean, cold water as soon as their contents have* been removed.

DEATH RATE DECLINING Lowest Estimate for Six Months in History of Country. By Times Special NEW YORK, Oct. 10. A lower death rate, it is estimated, was registered for the first six months of this year than ever has been experienced for the first half of any year in the history of the United States and Canada. The estimate printed in the Metropolitan Life Insurance' Company’s latest statistical bulletin is based on mortality records of the more than 15,000,000 industrial policy holders, who constitute practically one-sev-enth of the population of the two countries. LARGEST ZINC MINE By Times Special TRAIL, British Columbia, Oct. 10. —The Sullivan mine, the big zinclead producer of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, is stated to be the largest zinc mine in the world. The mine is estimated to contain $70,000,000 W'orth of zinc, with an exceptional opportunity of multiplying this under development. Mining authorities have expressed the opinion that the Sullivan mine will produce 1,000,000 tons a year of lead-zinc ore running over 20 per cent in the combined metals for over forty years.

FAMILY WELFARE SOCIETY EXPANDS Second District Office is Established, Extending the policy of getting closer to the •, *■•'iplo it desires to aid, the Family Welfare Society today open l -1 a second district office at Sixteenth St. and Ludlow Ave. The society last year opened the Fountain Square district. New district will be known as the Oscar i". McCulloch district. Following the plan started last year of having citizens of the districts advise in the work, Mansur B. Oakes was named district chairman. Miss Helen Huckett is secretary and Mrs. Ronald Green, vice-chairman. Two more districts will be established soon to complete the decentralization of the work. Paul L. Benjamin, executive secretary, said. Everything in existence deteriorates.

G. O. P. POINTS TO ROADS WITH PRIDE # . State Highway System Modeled Into One of Best, Statement,

Assertion that Indiana in five years has modeled the State highway system into one of the best in the country is made by Republican State headquarters. Here are facts tfiven out by the party. Approximately $36,000,000 have been invested in good roads since Jan. 1. 1320. The improved roads repaired, constructed and maintained with this sum pa--s through every county seat. All but four ‘ cities in Indiana having a population of 2.500 or more are served by the system. Five hundred and thirty-seven towns under 2,500 population are on the system. Thirty per cent of Indiana’s rural lesidents have their homes on State highways. There are approximately 4,200 miles State Roads. About 900 miles of this are paved. From 1321 to 1924 the bridge department has placed under contract

396 structures at a total price of $3 852,000. The bridges have a clear span distance of 4.3 miles. Five of the eight important trans-| continental highways pass through Indiana. Collections from gasoline taxes paid by thousands of tourists on these fi"e highways help to keep up Indiana roads. Indiana is paying for its highways as it goes. There is no interest on bond issues to be met. While Indiana has been building $36,000,000 worth of highways .and paying the cost as it progressed with construction. Illinois has spent $60,000,000 for its roads and paid for them with bond issues on which interest has to be met and bonds eventually retired. The overhead cost of the State highway commission for the fiscal years of 1923 was 2.08 per cent. Records of adjoining States showoverhead costs ranging from 4.5 per cent to 5 per cent. In Indiana over 97 cents of every dollar went for actual construction.
