Of many more desirable from tho

Douglas Budget :
The appointment was announced
last Saturday of Dr. B. F. Davis as
lard appraiser for the federal land
bank of Omaha for the district of
Wyoming and western Nebraska. The
place is one of much responsibility
and commands a good salary. The
appraiser passes upon the loans asked
for farm lands and his recommends
tion Is accepted as flnul by tho offlmcl
als of the bank. Probably no one
In Wyoming Is more familiar with
agricultural conditions In this state
than Is the new Appointee, his work
for many years as state veterinarian
taking him Into every section. He
will assume his duties right away,
having gone to Cheyenne for a con
ference with Judge Carey, vice pres
ident and one of the directors of the
bank, and from there will go to Oma
ha for a conference with President
Hogan.
Dr. Davis will probably retain his
residence In Douglas, as his work
can be done from here as conveni
ently as from any other point.
that much too late. But he Is dead,
and It is not for us to speak ill of the
dead, even such as he.
And few tears fell at his wake,
which took place at the warblers'
retreat In Bridgeport ono evening
this week. Indeed, at times there
were strains of music harmonious

Just strains. And around the funer
al bier or, should we say beer
were many oral tokens of love and
respect, celery, onions, limhurger
and worse. Funeral meats there were
a plenty chicken, sardines and var
ious things from various shaped
cans. Banked high around the bier
(we leave the spelling of that word
to the Inspired comp) were crackers

crackers, climate-proof crackers and
some of the famous 57.

the mourners stood for a moment to

DKFOSIT OF VALUE
Custer County Republican :
Custer county has been found to
possess a mineral deposit which will
prove valuable, it l thought. On I
tract of ground owned by Neil Ln-
gan. real estate dealer of Arnold
there Is a strip of white line powder
which has been there for years un
noticed except for the fact that it
hears no vegetation. A sample of
this sent to Lincoln for analysis
BBOWS that it is silicon bearing and
very pure. As soon as It was found
what it was Mr. Logan had offers to
buy (Tie material and he has sold
several car loads. Recently an Onu
ha man has bought an option on tin
land for sixty days paying a good
figure for It. It is said that the di
posit can not be told from "Old
Dutch Cleanser."
' There Is a great deal of the depot
it in this one tract and over in Lin
coin county there is a great ileal of
it, although it Is not so pure.
For years Nebraska has been class
ed without a mineral of sufficient
valHS to mine or export but within
the last few years the potash indus
try has come"' into being and plant
with capital amounting to millions
have rlsett on the prairie. Now we
have found a valuable silicon depos
it in available form
partial restitution made to the com
pany. Mr. Burke, on behalf of the
railroad company, did not Insist on
rigid prosecutions as it was evident
that about all were first offenders,
his desire appearing to be the break
ing up of such practices wlthdut un
duly humiliating or persecuting the
offenders. The Investigation Will be
continued as evidence is all the time
accumulating, showing that .there are
still more who are culpable.

"Did you lay in your supply?"
But is this necessarily true? Is a

ship simply because he is a new
friend? TJiat is not the intent of
tills adage as I see it.
I consider old friends best friends
mainly because of their experience.
I look back at them through the haze
Of the years I have known them. I
see them in the light of the joy we
huve shared together, or in the gloom
of the sorrow which has struck mu
tually at both our hearts. I remem
ber the times they have stood loy
ally in hours of need, or embarked
blithely with nie on pleasure jaunts
when peace and happiness reigned.
In short I associate an old friend
with the years which his friendship
has been tried and tested in the heat
and cold of experience, just the same
as you approve or condemn on em
ploye who has served you for such a
period.
So then, in my opinion, the adage
