"Yes," said Joseph Bonner, superintend-

railroad, telegraph poles along the line
have a hard time Particularly is this
so out west, where the poles are costly
and stations are few and far between.
Now, out in the Arizona desert the poles
are played the deuce with generally. There
is a sort OF woodpecker that picks the
posts absolutely to pieces, thinking there
may be insects inside of the wood They
hear the humming and haven't sense
enough to know what causes It, Then
near the hills the black bears imagine
that each pole contains a swarm OF bees,
and they climb to the top and chew the
glass insulators TO pieces. but the sand-
storms are the things that create the
most havoc When the wind blow strong

that the company decided to substitute
steel poles for the oak and cedar, but
that didn't remedy the evil at all. The
sand just wore away the metal on each
side Of the pole until the center was as
sharp as razor, and all the Indians IN
the country used to shave themselves on
the edge. We finally managed to fix
things. just painted the poles with soft

Representative Long has introduced
into the house a bill for the relief OF
Daniel NJ. Frost Of Garden City, Kan
sas, which calls for $500. This
amount is to reimburse Mr.. Frost for
expenses incurred In perfecting his
claim to a homestead entry made at
the Larned land office in 1881. The
claim was contested sn difference
Of opinion as to whether the entry
was a presumption or homestead
entry, and in his efforts to perfect his
claim Mr.. Frost carried his case to
the supreme court of the United
States. He was beaten here, aud the
present claim is to reimburse him for
expenses incurred. The reason it had
to be brought to the supreme court
was because of the confliCtingpdecisiOn
in the lower and land courts,-Ex.
So it seems that our claim agent
at Washington has set a precedent
for a new sort Of claims against the
government. Only for political pull
which Mr.. Frost has, this claim
doubtless never would have been
introduced. If the government un-
dertakes to reimburse all unsuc-
cessful land litigants it will have its
hands full. Such is craftsmanship,
while the people are crying for relief.

1T is also recommended that each

which confirms what the VOICE has

'There can be no doubt about It,
that If the United States were TO

would be protected, not only at home
but in every other market in the

would suffer to some extent, through
having to pay her obligations abroad

but the loss Of exchange under this

States has not long ago seized the Cd

the way Of England is necessarily tbe
way to commercial success and pros.

been done long ago.
NOW, Americans are awakening To

Capt. ]. B. Johnson, candidate for
member Of the National Republican
Committee, writing to a friend
recently said:
"The present administration has
not covered itself with glory. Prob.
ably it has disgraced the party as
much as any administration could"
He didn't mean it for publication
but it got out and he has since said
that he wrote it and that he will
stand by it. According to this
Lewelling must have been pretty
much of a gentleman.
