The Hotchkiss Press came to us
last week in an enlarged form and
is a neat newsy little sheet and has
every evidence of being supported
by its towns people. Heretofore it
has been printed on job press
and was 4 column quarto-now
it is a 6 column folio all home
print. Phil stephe3 has had an
uphill business Of it to establish
his paper in a town with an old es-
tablished paper and where there is
really only room for one sheet but
he is evidently about to make a
winning Of it.

Range Trouble in Kansas.

The terrible lesson Of the trouble be-
tween the Dewey cattle company and
the settlers OF western Kansas in which
a rich corporation shot down poor
squatters proves only too well what
would be an every day occurrence should
land-leasing law prevail in the range
country. Two years ago G. P. Dewey &
company, capitalists OF Chicago. started
cattle ranch in the southeast corner
OF Cheyenne county. extending into
They at once began toacquire title to all
the land they could get within radius
Of twelve or fifteen miles OF their ranch.
Some was bought from the settlers, but
most OF it was secured by tax title, as
most OF the land in that section had
been abandoned and the taxes became
delinquent and they have now fenced in
over 100000 acres. In Cheyenne county
the Deweys OWL or control nearly all of
six townships or tract OF land twelve
by eighteen miles. Some few Of the
settlers they could not buy out and in
this the tronble commenced. They
stocked their ranch with several
thousand head OF cattle and let them
run at will. A settler could raiee no
crop unless he fenced it or herded the
cattle away from it night and day. II
the ttler took the cattle up and held
them for damages he found himself in
volved in an expensive lawsuit with the
best lawyers in the country pitted
against him. II he won in the lower
court it was carried higher and he was
soon worn out. Most OF the fettlers sold
for what they could get and sought
other places out OF range of the Deweys.
but few with fighting blood stayed
with their homea This Dewey copcern
is believed to be one OF the many subor-
dinant companies propsgated by the
Swifts OF Chicago for the purpose Of

Back From The Coast.

Bob Burch who is back from Port
land settling up his business affairs in
this section, was in Princeton this week
visiting many of his old friends. He
says that this will be his last trip back
for some time as he will remain per-
manently on the Pacific coast in the fu-
ture where he has business interests.
He is thinking some of going down into
California where he may locate in the
future. He says that good timber that
is handy to tide water is now worth
S1.OO per thousand on the coast, while
good timber in the interior points is
worth, around twenty-five cents. He
met an old Michigan lumberman out
in Oregon recently who had some tim
Der tributary to the Columbia river and
the Mich gan man said that the timber
in that section would be worth SIS in a
very few years. ''It was only twenty
years ago. said Mr.. Burch, ''that some
of the best Minnesota pine was selling
at fifteen cents and afterwards sold at
$40 and better. Good timber will never
be any cheaper anywhere in the coun'
try and even on the Pacific coast the
best timber will be cut and sold on the
market in much less time than many
people think''

Shot a Wildcat.

Last week Fred and Hi Harrington
shot a large wildcat in the Byers
woods up in Germany while out hunt
ing rabbits. They had invited G. r.
Carpenter to accompany them on their
hunt, but he was too busy to go at the
time and missed lot of fun by passing
up the hunt, for the Harrington boys
had not been out long before they
scared up wildcat which came rum
ming through the woods. Fred saw the
animal coming and he took shot at it
and only wounded it slightly, but he
quickly sent another charge into the
animal and then another and by this
time the wildcat was ready to surren-
der. The boys took the game and as
they went home they stopped at Car
penter's and threw down the animal.
Carpenter looked at the game a minute
and thought it was very peculiar look
ing rabbit, but on closer inspection he
discovered the character of the game
the boys had secured. The wildcat
weighed about forty pounds, but was
not quite as large as one the Harring-
ton boys killed last winter.

There are forty-two logging camps
operating on the upper Snake and it's
tributaries this winter, nearly all of
them small camps working on contract
for Otis Staples of Saltwater. The
Mora Times says: ''This winter will
clean the country of practically all its
pine timber standing or down that is
suitable to manufacture into lumber.
This winters work will consist princi-
pally in cleaning up sections cut over
when pine was more plentiful and less
valuable than at present. From all
these camps there will be between
three and four million banked.

A Rubbery Suggestion.

c.. A. Wolf of New York, travelling
man who was here this week, reports
having witnessed an amusing incident
on train the other day. A few seats
ahead of him sat a pompous and dud-
ishly-attired young man, and in the
seat directly across the car from the
latter was a handsome, demure-looking
young lady, reading a book. She had
number of letters, and laid them
down in the seat beside her for few
moments. The dudish one rubbered
hard without appearing to do so, to
read the address on one of the letters.
AS the train arrived in Chicago the
girl deliberately dropped letter in the
seat of the dudish one, and he looked
very happy as he hurriedly slowed it
away in his pocket. On the way to the
Grand Pacific hotel Mr.. Wolf and the
dudish stranger occupied the same car
riage, and the latter, as soon as he was
seated, reached for the letter. He
opened it, and drew out blank sheet
of paper, with rubber band pinned to
the center. Then the stranger told
Mr.. Wolf all about his experience, and
said he thought the girl was a heart:
less flirt.-Winona Republican-Herald.

What Shall We Call 1t?

When the automobile was coming
into vogue, many people regarded, the
name as too long and cumbersome for
general use, and various shorter names
were suggested as appropriate and. ETY.
mologically correct. But to none Of
these suggestions did the public take
kindly-at least there was not suff-
cient unanimity Of opinion to bring any
one of the words into common use, and
the machines are still running under
the old polysyllabic term. M
A similar search is now in progress
for a short and comprehensive title for
Marconi's wireless telegraph messages.
The term wireless telegram" is aWk
ward and unsatisfactory, and In this
age of speed it takes too long to say it..
Various suggestions have been made.
The wordmakers reject the idea Of call
ing it ''marconi," and they are dis
putting whether to call the instrument
tally an airgraph and the message an
airgram or whether to be still more
classical by naming them aerograph
and aerogram. Some have gone SO far
as to suggest "etherogram." Neverthe-
less, with the other example before us.
the prediction is not hazardous that if
the busy business world shortens the
name at all it will probably be by call
ing it simply the wireless" which
would certainly have the merit of be-
ing comprehensive and reasonably COR
rect.
However, when the time comes that
people can send messages across the
Atlantic for 40 per cent Of the present
charges they will not bother themselves
overmuch about the expenditure of adj
ditional lung power sufficient to pro-
nounce few extra or apparently un-
necessary syllables.
