has been conspicuously hon ored by President Roosevelt in his selec tion of Governor Shaw of Iowa to suc ceed Secretary oHhaTreasurery Gage January 1st That will give Iowa that grand old stalwart Republican state two men in the cabinet something unprecedented We look for greater recognition of the west by the president than has ever been the case by any pres ident in the countrys history President Roosevelt seems to be imbued with no little of the proper western spirit anyway The forthcoming blue book shows that 220000 people are in the employof the United States government not including those in the army and navy The postal department gives employment to far the larger part of these With all this vast armyof employes there is not a nation on earth in which the people feel the hand of the government so little because nearly all these employes are for minis tering to the wants of the people rather than merely enforcing government au thority Bee Oue H W Risley private secretary to Congressman Shallenberger has just figured the matter out conclusively and finally It is his private opinion publicly expressed that President Roosevelts message is not a great state paper Harry makes bold to state that the president has written like a patrician with the assumptive air of a great moral philosopher and the ideas and ambitions of a prize fighter or that more strenuous form of modern amusement known as foot ball Now if there is anyone on earth who is qualified to criticise a mes sage it is the short grass country and long eared youth whose gray matter is utilized by Congressman Shallenberger in doing chores and odd jobs about his office No 14 in the Ditch Near Hudson yesterday afternoon No 11 went into the ditch and the engine -and baggage car were

morning and evening giving two worth while sermons and during his stay meet ing with pleasure many of the friends of the church Dominates a Billion The New York Financier has compiled a chart to show the growth of the Union Pacific railroad system which with its 100000000 capital is able to control 1000000000 worth of railroads It says The public furnished 100000- 000 in money for which it received an equal amount of collateral trust 4 per cent bonds while the Union Pacific se cured control of the Southern Pacific and through the recent settlement of the Northern Pacific contest a half in terest in Burlington and about 5000 000 of Northern Securities company stock All of this was accomplished it must be remembered without any in crease whatever in the capital stock of the Union Pacific The interests who were in control of that property have secured in addition the control of the other roads without expenditure The roads represented have a total capitali zation of over 1286280000 To this must be added something over 80000 000 Northern Securities stock making a capitalization o f considerably over 1700000000 invested in railroads and steamship lines and which as brought out by tne table are absolutely con trolled by those who own the controlling interest in Union Pacific The mileage of the railroads controlled is over 23000 miles During 1896 and 1897 when the present interests acquired control of Union Pacific the stock of the company sold around 3 1 2 and 4 1 2 At these prices the control of the property could have been purchased for less than 10000000 By taking a more liberal estimate it is hardly probable that the control of Union Pacific cost the present interest over 30000000 and yet it is seen that they control railroad and steamship lines capitalized at over one and three quarter billion dollars Resolutions McCook Circle No 33 L of G A R McCook Nebr December 23rd 1901 Whereas In view of the loss we have sustained by the death of our
