Letter Explains ]
Cause Of Death
From the following correspondence
it seems that, while there was some
apparent misunderstanding as. to the
cause, all agreed that the man 1s dead:
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles re-
ceived a request for information on
the proper method of transferring the
title where the owner of a motor
vehicle had died. Z ;
The Bureau wrote to the inquirer
asking whether the former owner of
the car had died ‘“testate or intestate.
The response to this letter was:
“He died March 15, 1932, with tuber-
culosis.”

COLUMBIA RIVER
DISCOVERED 142
YEARS AGO TODAY
On May 11, 1792, 142 years ago
today, Robert Gray, an American
explorer, discovered and sailed
fifteen miles up the (Columbia
River. The river was named for
one of Captain Gray’s vessels.
The discovery was the foun-
dation for the claim of the
United States to the great
Northwest Empire, comprising
the States of Washington, Ore-
gon, and Idaho. Captain Cook,
Captain Van Couver and other
explorers had passed the mouth
of the river before but it was ap-
parently, so large that they did
not recognize it as a river.

Luzerne - Trucksville _High-
way To Be Beautified Not
Later Than Fall
Because of the serious illness of the
State Highway Department engineer
‘who was to direct the proposed beauti-
fication of the highway between Lu-
zerne and Trucksville the project has
been postponed until Fall, Attorney
Peter Jurchak announced this week.
In a communication to Attorney
Jurchak, C. M. Kerns, acting forester
for the Department of Highways, said:
“Our planting stock at the Department
Nursery is so far advanced in growth
at this time that it would perhaps be
risky to attempt any planting work at
this time. However, we will gladly ac-
cept your kind offer to supply the la-
bor for this project and shall make
every endeavor to carry out this work
in the Fall”,
Attorney Jurchak said: “Many in-
quiries have been made regarding this
matter and it is regretable that noth-
ing can he done at this time. My agree-
ment to pay for necessary labor still
stands, We have been unable to get the
County Commissioners to assist in this
matter except to furnish County
trucks. The labor rmust be paid for at
the regular rates.”

Growing Weather
© Stimulates Crops
——
Farm Work, Two Weeks
Late, Speeded By Sun
And Rain
A rapid growth was stimulated in
this section this week as result of the
sunny weather and tht light rains
which put the soil in fine condition.
Oats seeding is generally well ad-
vanced and corn planting has begun
in many places, Early sown» oats are
coming up nicely. Field potatoes are
being planted. Grasses are growing
rapidly, excepting in the driest regions,
and pastures and meadows are mostly
looking good. Forest trees are slowly
coming into full foliage.
Apples, pears, and plums are report-
ed to be blooming full, ‘and are look-
ing much better and more promising
than was expected. Peaches and sweet
cherries are badly winter-killed, and
many trees are not blooming at all.
Winter wheat is showing up very
spotted in some regions, and it is ex-
pected that a large acreage will be
planted to other crops. However, such
as lived 'is making rapid
growth.

DOE SPENDS NIGHT
IN TOWN, DEPARTS
IN STARTLED HASTE
A deer, which evidently had
spent the night in Tunkhannock,
fled Wednesday morning when it
was startled by an automobile.
H. S. Swartz, manager of the
Commonwealth Telephone Co.,
said he was backing his car out
of the garage at his home when
he saw the doe’ running across
his back yard, scamper over the
Court House green, jump a fence
and disappear in the direction of
the open country.
It is believed the doe had wan-
dered into the town in the night
and had been sleeping, uncon- :
scious of its environment, when
~
the noise of the automobile en-
gine awakened it. ?
