Nelson Smith has had a gang of men at the mill race, pulling out the head gates. My ice wagon will make two trips a week during the month of October. —J. W. Conger. J. Plumbeck is not much improved in health. His many friends hope he will gain in health. Pete Kouiinski is putting up new buildings on his farm south of the Prank Spotanski place. Jim Kilpatrick was very sick last Sunday night with a high fever, but at this writing is feeling pretty good again. Albert Snyder has rented hay land from Alfred Jorgensen and has been busy the past week getting it into the stack. Will Steen had his man delivering on route two last week. He was so popular that he could not supply the demand. Mr. and Mrs. Tom McPadden and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart McPadden re turned last week from a trip to Kim ball, this state. A big number of route patrons from route one and three were in to see the route two parade pictures Saturday night. Thanks. All who have not yet seen the route pictures can see them for the last time Thursday and Friday even ing at the opera house at 5:30 each evening. Quite a heavy frost covered the entire route Monday night. It was heaviest on the valley and in the low places between the hills. It will help the corn. Jim McBeth has beeu kept busy the past week hauliug lumber for his new house. Taylor Gibson has his sang of men on the ground rushing the work as fast as possible. John Kociemba has been moving his corn crib and other out-buildings to a different part of the farmyard this week. With his new barn, and the old ones moved, it adds several hundred dollars to Mr. Kociemba's place. C. S. Morrison has been working the road all along the divide this week. He has ditched it deep on the sides, making a good drain for the water. Of course all roads should be wider, but to make them the width they ought to be only a few miles could be gone over each year. The two good roads days will be held the last two days in October. Let us put down your name for two days. Don’t refuse two days’ work on this piece of road, because it does not help you. Come help on it and next year I intend to put in one big day from Johnson's corner past C. W. Burts’ place, and the second day from Bill Brown’s west to the Prairie Gem school house, so you see you will all be benetitted by it next year. All farmers this year will harvest two crops on their potato ground this year, one crop of good potatoes and a heavy growth of grass. Hundreds of tons of prairie hay has gone into the stack in the finest shape in many years. There will be no poor hay put on the market this year. The past three weeks has been too dry for fall plowing, but good for corn. Stack threshing has commenced. The pas tures are still good and horses and cattle have never looked better. A lot of winter wheat is being put in the cornfields. I want to thank all for coming out and attending the picture show like you did. As I said, before, the pic tures cost me over $450. I got back at the opera house door, over and above all expenses, $117.50, leaving a balance to get yet of $343. My ex pense was quite heavy, for I got good reels to show with the Route pictures. 1 wanted you to get 25 cents worth. I will show the pictures to all the towns around here and will let you know how I come out. One of the saddest death that has occurred on Route 2 for a long time was that of N. P. Nielsen. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his death. Mr. Nielsen had been ail ing for over a year and the cause of I his death was said to be heart trou ble. Last spring Mr. Nielsen was tak en to a sanitarium for treatment and he returned feeling much better, but was only home a short time until he had to be taken back again. He again came home feeling quite a good deal better and did considerable work up to the very day of his death. The sad dest feature of his death is that only four of the nine children are able to take care of themselves. Mr. Nielsen had quite a lot of live stock and two quarter-sections of land. Mr. Nielsen was a fine man, liked by all who knew him. The carrier and patrons on Route 2 who knew him sympathize with the family in their trouble. I know all have been anxiously waiting for the decision of the judges, to see who were the winners in the parade contest. The first float was awarded to Mrs. Jas. W. Conger, In dian s.quaw; second float, to my little girl, Sadie, with the float of Peace to Our Ship of State. The third award went to the postoffice float, gotten up by C. F. Beushausen, and assisted by the rural carriers and office force. I was sorry that these floats had been judged, for none of us Intended that our floats should be judged, but I for got to tell the judges, so it was my fault and not theirs. The next floats that were chosen were the Red Cross, first, gotten up by the Ladies’ And society on Wiggle Creek; second was Mrs. C. W. Conhiser and Miss Bettie Rettenmayer. This also had to be thrown out as there were neither one route patrons. The second prize then i went to the Horn of Plenty, gotten up by the grange; third prize was award ed to the peace float, gotten up by the Prairie Gem Sunday school. In Class B, the first prize was won by Roy Conger and W. H. McLanghlin for their meat market float, in which they made bologna out of dogs, cats and old horses. This float never failed to bring the laugh. The second prize was awarded to Mr. and Mrs. John Gallaway, the Chinese Restau rant, assisted by several others. It was also fine. The third prize was awarded to the court house. This happened to be my sou, Harry, and some other float had to be chosen again and the award went to the iirowu Loach. you. can see that the judges had a hard time. 1 hope that all will be satisfied with their decis ions, for each one took down their own notes and then compared them with the others, selecting several to fall back on in case something was wrong with the one that they had chosen. The judges were Supt. L. H. Currier, Prof. J. H. Burwell, and J. F. Nicoson, and you all know these men to be good judges. The prizes were: Class A—First, $2; second, $1.; third, 50 cents. Class B—First, $2; second, *1; third, 50 cents. Please call and get the prizes. C. S. Morrison has been working the roads along the divide this week. He has ditched it deep on the sides, making a good drain for the water. Of course, all roads ought to be wider, but to make them the width they ought to be, only a few miles could be gone over each year. Everybody wants more or less road work along their lines and if only a few miles were done and the rest let go there would be a big holler. The way Mr. Morrison is doing, all the ditches are cleared on both sides over most of his district. One thing that we could not help but appreciate was that he cut all the tall grass and weeds on each side of the road and had them raked to one side. It only takes a short time to do this and the amount of time saved in not having to bother with the weeds on the point of the brader saves a good many dollars to his district, and when he gets through he has not got a big bunch of trash piled in bunches ever few feet from the center of the road and it is in good shape for the road drag. An other thing Mr. Morrison expects to do is to put the road drag on the newly made roads this fall, settling them as much as possible. If he does, watch his roads and see the fine con dition of them for winter. The road drag is the best and cheapest road tool there is. The only thing, it is not used half enough. The rutted condition of the road on all hill roads could be avoided and the money that is spent to fix them up in the fall could almost all be saved if the drag were used. Of course, the past year has been a hard one on roads. But, for example, go look at the road Fred Pinckney and Frank Zwink have kept in shape all this year with the drag. This piece of road is very hilly and the soil is such that it washes badly each year. Take a look at it and see for yourself if road dragging pays. Hans Johnson, road boss in a Logan township district, is another road boss who believes in the road drag. His roads have shown the effects of the drag most of the summer. There ought to be a law passed in the house and senate next fall making it a fine for the road boss or the town ship officers if they neglect this duty. Many road bosses do not like to drag the roads because a great many peo ple in their district think that it is money thrown away, not realizing the value of it yet. If the road drag is used no weeds could grow along the roadside. Keeping the ditches free of trash would cause the roads to dry up twice as quick and the water could not stand in them. Andrew Thomp son is another road boss that realizes the value of the drag and his road to the brown bridge shows the effect of it.

We wish him to stay away for a while. south Seeks New Curb on Negro Vote Political leaders at Washington are beginning to take stock as a result of the supreme court’s two decisions re cently knocking out the "grandfather clauses” in the Oklahoma and Mary land election laws. New legislation, both by the states and congress, is one of the things pre dicted by those familiar with the at tempt of the southern states to pre vent the negroes from voting. Unless the states are able to Ind |ome new means of curtailing the ne gro vote between now and 1916 heavy Republican gains are predicted for Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana. Southern states, still intent on re stricting the negro voters, are expect ed to turn to the literacy test. Tfte objection to the literacy test is that it would deprive a great many white citizens of the southern states of the ballot. It was pointed out that the decisions may have a direct bearing on legisla tion at the approaching session of con gress. During the closing days of the last session the Democrats attempted to obtain the adoption of a cloture rule in the senate. The Republicans opposed it in order to prevent the passage of the ship purchase bill. When cloture was up before the Democrats opposed it because they be lieved the Republicans would use it to break down their election laws. Now that those laws are in danger, it is be lieved by some persons that no fur ther attempt will be made in behalf of the cloture rule and that the Demo cratic leaders will take their chances on legislation in preference to opening a way for the tearing down of the southern bars on negro suffrage Baby's Quilt. A most attractive baby's quilt Is made by putting two thicknesses of lamb's wool between surah silk. The quilting, instead of being made with stitches, is caught in place by large roses made of ribbon. Ribbon is also used in the style of art nouvieau to decorate the border of the quilt. Usual ly it is made in long green stems, ter minating at the end with large sun flowers, each petal of the flower be ing a loop of the ribbon caught at the point by a single stitch. Quilts of such an elaborate design are used as coach covers for the baby Indoors does hot wear anything quite so exquisite. MISSION OF THE OOSINESS MAN Elihn Root to the Union Leape, Philadelphia. SHOULD ASSERT THEMSELVES. Urges Campaign of Education For Clearing Away of Misunderstandings. Men Now In Control of Government Hostile to American Enterprise. I had been thinking, as I came over In the train this afternoon, of my as sociations with Philadelphia, and 1 found, strangely enough, that of all the dear friends I have known here, my mind went back constantly to Mc Kinley. I recall how, eighteen years ago, I came here upon a telegram to meet him, to talk about the condition of things in Spain. I remember how he said, “There is danger of war; there must not be war with Spain; there shall not be war with Spain. It must be and it shall be prevented at all hazards.” Then I thought of how little any one man can do. The tend encies of the mighty 80,000,000 of peo ple moved on along the path of their destiny, and even that great and skill ful man with all the power of his high office could not prevent it. And I re member how, a couple of years after, one of my first journeys as a member of his cabinet was to come here to this club to be with him in one of those great receptions for which you are so famous. And that led to reflec tion, not upon specific differences be tween President McKinley and this administration, between the legisla tion or the policies of that time and this, but to reflection upon what in the retrospect can be seen to have been a great nation-wide movement along the path of the nation's uncon scious purpose. When we elected McKinley in 1896 and again in 1900, it was the business men of the United States who con trolled the election. It was the gen eral, the almost universal awakening of judgment on the part of men who carried on the great production and commerce and transportation and finance in the business of this mighty and prosperous country, which elected McKinley and maintained the policies of his administration. Scepter Passes From Business Man. How great has been the change. The scepter has passed from the busi ness man. The distinguishing charac teristic of recent years has been the conduct Of the government of the country by men who have but little concern with the business of the country, by men who distrust the man of business, who sus pect the man of business. Measures relating to the great business and the small and multitudinous business of the country have been framed and put into effect under influences which have rejected the voice of those whom they most immediately affect. The railroad man’s testimony of what leg islation there should be affecting rail roads has been rejected, because he was a party in interest. The banker's testimony about finance has been re jected because he was a party in in terest. The manufacturer's testimony about commerce has been rejected be cause he was a party in interest. The shipowner’s testimony about the mer chant marine has been rejected be cause he wras a party in interest. Knowledge of the business affairs of the country has disqualified men from taking any part in the conduct of the increasing participation of the govern ment in the control and direction of business affairs. Causes of the Change. Now, this has not been accidental. It is not a matter of individuals. It has had several causes. It has been partly because of the old hatred of wealth. Those parts of the country in which all of the people have been of comparatively small means have been filled with men who came to hate the rich in the great industrial communi ties in the north and east. Of course I need not tell you this hatred of wealth is more than half mere vulgar worship of wealth. God knows that too much money does no man any good; too much money is more apt than not to ruin his children and in rite for him kidney disease or harden ing of the arteries. But to the poor farmer on the prat ies of the west or the cotton fields of the south, it seems as if the rich men of the eastern cities were living in heaven at his expense. Another element of this change has been an entire or an almost failure of understanding of the processes, the conditions, the requirements and the result of the vast and complicated business by which the wealth of the country Is created and maintained. Under simple conditions we all under stood each other. Every man of the community understood in general about the life, the business and affairs of the other men in the same commu nity. But life is so complicated now, the affairs of this great country are so involved, that there is very little real understanding by one community of the affairs of another. How can the man who raises a crop of wheat In Dakota really understand the compli cated machinery by which his wheat goes onto the breakfast table in Eu rope, and the price comes back to him? So, through a fee’ing of envy greater wealth of the east and north, of these industrial communi ties of which this city is a conspicu ous example, and through misunder standings, there has come about a feel ing of adverse interest instead of the feeling of common interest that is so essential to the prosperity and perpet uity of a country. Why Business Does Not Start. I say the scepter has passed. The control has changed, and it is impos sible to resist the conclusion that there lies the reason for the stagna tion, the hesitation, the timidity, the unwillingness of American enterprise today. You cannot say it was the tar iff alone. You cannot say It is the re Btrictlons ilpon toe truSTs, the suits J against the trusts or the great cor porations which are called trusts, alone. You cannot say it is the Clay ton law or the trade commission law alone. But the men who are control ing the government of our country to day are men who have been fighting the tariff so many years, have been fighting the trusts, or what they thought were the trusts—the great corporations—so long; have been fighting the railroad companies, the express companies and the telegraph companies so long; have been fighting the banks and the bankers so long, that when they come to administer the government of the United States they can’t rid themselves of an underlying hostility to American enterprise. And the reason why business does not start is because way down in the heart of Americans there is a doubt as to what is going to happen at the hands of a hostile government. Now, what is going to he done about it? It is not something to be dis posed of by conquest. It l.t ».ot some thing which we ought to be satisfied with disposing of by more votes Merely electing a Republican presi dent in 191fi ought not to be enough. The country can’t live and prosper with such misunderstandings. The people who are doing these things are honest and good Americans, but they misundertand a great part of the coun try. I say that this ought not to be permitted to continue We cannot live with that kind of misunderstanding between the people of one section and the people of other sections. Time to Wake Up. The first thing winch is plain is that the business men of America, the hon est, reliable, good fair citizens who are doing the greatest business of our country, should become vocal and take pains to see to it that they are no longer misrepresented or misunder stood. What does an honest and fair man do when he fiiids that somebody whose good opinion he respects, mis understands him? He does not try to shoot the other fellow or injure him; he tries to remove the misunderstand ing, and that is what we ought to do. The business men of America should wake up—get out of the condition of mind which they have been in for some time past, in which they have taken all sorts of misrepresentations and aspersions, lying down. They should assert themselves; they should put upon foot a campaign of education and instruction for a clearing of the air. so that all over our broad land every American may come to respect every other American in whatever business he may be engaged, so that American citizenship shall be forever for the American citizen a title of re spect and regard and brotherly affec tion. We ought to put an end to the condition in which a number of the people in our country feel no regret at the disasters of the people of ofher parts of the country. It is not an easy task, for this is a tremendous country. But If the men who elected McKinley will arise to the same standard of courage and determination that pre vailed in ISilfi and 1000. the task can be accomplished. WTe have had missionaries of re form, missionaries of new theories, missionaries of every kind and char acter. except missionaries of good un derstanding. The business men of America should undertake their mis sion to make themselves understood by the people of America. WORK HORSES DISPLAY GREAT INTELLIGENCE Union Pacific Improvement Work in Weber Canyon Develops Trio of Remarkable Animals. In the construction of a second track through Weber Canyon a few miles east of Ogden the Union Pacific is expending a large amount of money and among its employes are number ed three of the most intelligent horses in the business, if the latest reports from the seat of this activity are to be credited. Approximately 750,000 cubic yards of earth and 100,000 cubic yards of rock will have to be moved to com plete this work. Steam shovels handle practically all of this material. A tunnel through over 250 feet of solid rock on a point near Gateway Hill known as Sheep Rock is a part of the great endeavor, and when the new line is completed it will give the Union Pacific a sixty foot grade per mile as compared with the present old-line grade of ninety-three feet, nearly all of the undesirable curva ture of this present line being eliminated. The three horses which have won renown in the gigantic work at hand have become famous among the hu man employes. Thera is Keno, a nine-year coal black; Jumbo, a ten year grey, and Don, a seven year black. Have they brains?—Oh my! Each of these bright-eyed Union Pacific animals seems to know when the work-track switches are properly lined and has been known to stop of his own accord when such is not the case. Any error by a careless driver has thus been made impossible by these horses, by actual observation. No side-swiped cars and no personal injuries—thanks to Keno, Jumbo and Don. In view of the heavy rock handled there must be considerable blasting, and it is the custom for the steam shovel to give a "scatter whistle’’ when a blast is to be discharged, thus warning the workmen. A series Of short whistles announces the com ing explosions and a number of longer blasts of the whistle indicate the number thereof. When the "scatter whistle” i3 blown the three intelligent horses plainly show by their nervousness that they expect to be freed from their trams, and when unhitched they follow the workmen up or down the fill. They likewise appear to count the number of blasts to be fired, and will not budge from safety until the last has been discharged. Keno, Jumbo and Don are both the pets and the heroes of the big Weber Canyon second track work and seem to have picked up the spirit of “safety first” taught over the entire Union Pacific System. S.

There is no better investment in sight right now than to buy Western lands; buy them before values advance, due to the high prices of products and the present cycle of productive years in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. In the Big Horn Basin and the North Platte Valley, irri gated farms are being cul in two and offered for sale on favor able terms. All crops in those localities are the heaviest on rec ord. You can secure a Government irrigated farm near Pow ell, Wyo., almost a gift. This year’s crop on thousands of acres in Nebraska and Colorado equals in value the original price of the land. If you are not fixed to buy, even on easy terms, take a 320 acre Mondell homestead in Wyoming, for mixed dairy faming; crops of wheat and oats on these this year just like a settled country. Look over the West now, along the Burlington lines; you can ride all day through crops and make your own deduu ■ t'on as to what this condition means to the man who will get hold of land in these localities now.
