E. E. Parks , an attorney from
Chicago , HI. , was one of the new
homesteaders. He took a home
stead near Valentine , and may in
the future practice his profession
here. We have found him a pleas
ant gentleman to meet and an in
teresting conversationalist.

went up to Rosebud and won a

buck up agin them again we don't

James A. Barwick arrived from
FMgstaff , Arizona , June 4th to re
lieve J. J. O'Donnell , who has
been in charge of the Weather
Bureau office at this place for the
past five months. Mr. O'Donnell
was a worker and a gentleman of
many good qualities. Besides be-
efficient he was ever courteous and
gentlemanly in his conduct toward
his fellowmen. He goes back to
Barbados , West Indies , where he
will again resume charge of the
signal service there during the
hurricane season. Mr. Barwick ,
the -present observer in charge ,
comes well recommended as an ef
ficient signal service man , having
been engaged in this work for 31
years. He is an elderly gentle
man , sociable , pleasant and inter
esting in conversation.
Dan Allen , a man reported to be
a Fremont hotel man , butted in ,
or tried to get into the line formed
before 4he land office Monday
night. He finally took up a po
sition as number two which he held
until near morning when he was
induced to move back , and he but
ted in down the line near the 100
mark which he held until he came
to the vstairway. Here he was
taken out and made to take his
position at the foot of the line ,
which he did very reluctantly.
The' other Fremont boys were
ashan d of his conduct and re.-
gretted that one of their number
should make himself so conspicu
ous. It is also reported that these
twelve Fremont people were here
to file on homesteads for the Stand
ard Cattle Co.

Senator Hearst
Father and Son Worked Together For
Democracy , and the Sturdy Cali
fornia Pioneer Found Great De
light In the Latfer's Industry and
Achievements.
"I'm feeling very lonely , " said ex-
Senator Jones of Nevada in the Hoff
man House , New York , the other day.
"Nearly all the old timers are gone
now the men who stood out from the
crowd In the vrest and it took a pretty
good man to do that. "
It certainly did , for the early comers
to California and Nevada were not an
ordinary lot. In brains , body and vigor
they rose far above the average of hu
manity , or they would not have forced
their way to the frontier. And to rise
aboye this young and energetic and
daring population argued the posses
sion of very exceptional qualities.
That is why the 'Taciiic coast mil
lionaire" has ahva3s been an interest-
TVILLLAJI RANDOLPH HEARST.
s
ing figure in the east , where men are
regimented and classified and conven
tionalized until they cease to possess
or shrink from showing individuality.
Senator Jones spoke of the friends
whom death has removed , especially of
his once colleague in the senate , George
Hearst , and of John TV. Mackay.
These two and Jones himself were
the three very rich Californians most
liked , because most characteristic of
their Cny. All made their money in
the mines , and all were humanized in
stead of hardened by wealth.
The California pioneer was personi
fied by Senator Hearst in perfection.
He began at the bottom , with empty
pockets , a pair of willing hands , a
pluck that nothing could discourage
and a resolution to succeed that com
pelled success. When millions came to
him he remained the same man his fel
low miners in the gulches knew clear
headed , shrewd , direct , good humored
and warm hearted. The management of
vast and complex interests was as easy
to him as the handling of the rocker
at Long Tom , but he did not seem to
recognize that this talent differentiated
him from his comrades of the mines.
"Why should money change a man ? "
he would say in conversational intima
cy , "except to make him bigger and
better by enabling him to be his best
self ? If you're pooV you have to do
what you can , and somebody else gives
you orders , but if you're rich you're
free to be what you like. "
And this particular millionaire liked
to be a democratic American.
That is what distinguished the suc
cessful Californiaus for the most part
their democracy. Assumption of su
periority , pretension to being different
In kind from those around them , arro
gance , aloofness these traits were for
bidden by their knowledge of life and
sense of humor.
Senator Hearst confessed that he was
made humble by his good fortune.
"I was nearly a middle aged man , "
he related , "when I started from Cal
ifornia over the mountains with a
party for the new Washoe mines. The
ilay was hot , the , grade steep , and I
fell behind. I got off my horse and
sat down in the shade , flicking the dust ' ]
in the road with my switch and wondering
i
dering if I'd better go on to the Corn-
stock or turn back. I'd left a little mill
behind nothing much , but there was a 1
living in it. If I went ahead to this
untried field the chances were I'd go
broke and have to begin all over again.
But I started after the boys , just as
much for company's sake as anything
else , and inside a year I'd made my
Irst million.
"Now , why did Lhat happen to me es
pecially ? It could just as well 7"i
liappencd to anybody else.
"Put on airs because you've struck
it rich ? Oh , I've seen too many good
aen go down who deserved to suc
ceed , and too many bad fellows get on
ivlio ought to have gone down , to be
luffed up by my own good fortune.
I'm just thankful. Those early days
ried men out To be of a distinguish-
d family 'back in the states' counted
< " 7"
for netting. Neither d.d education
unless it could be applied. What a
man Avas in himself , not what he had ,
not who his relatives were , was the
test. AbiL'jy and character were ev
erything. "
In his old age leisure came to Sen
ator Hearst , and he interested himself
in .public affairs. He gave to the Pa
cific coast its first Democratic news
paper the first Democratic newspaper
that received special dispatches from
the east and so emancipated the news
from the editing of the Associated
Press , which , on its political side , was
conducted in the interest of the Repub
lican party exclusively. Of this news
paper , the San Francisco Examiner ,
he made a gift to his son. William
Randolph Hearst , when the latter left
Harvard , and from that beginning the
system of Hearst newspapers , embrac
ing the continent , has grown. Father
and son worked together for the De
mocracy. The boy's achievements in
journalism were the delight of the
senator. He was proud of his sou
and fond of him as not many fathers
are. Their intimacy was close and
loving.
The son comes honestly by his De
mocracy. Most men inherit their poli
tics as a sort of unthinking party hab
it , but Senator Heart's Democracy was
a matter of living ideas and senti
ments , which he transmitted by ex
ample and instruction. lie believed in
the people not that they had any
magical way of being always right ,
but because he had seen no set of men
who were so much wiser and better
than the majority that they should be
commissioned to rule.
"The people , " the old senator would
say , "can make fools of themselves
sometimes , but they've got no monopoly
ely on that weakness. If they don't
know what's best for them , they're a
good deal more likely to than others
whose interest it is to work them. "
What he stood for , by instinct and
conviction , the newspapers of his son.
whom he admired as much as he lov
ed , stand for government of the people
ple by themselves , to the end that we
may have in this republic equality of
rights and no privileged class.
