was considerable protest. Many of the
members of the church, realizing that
he had done faithful service and been
rewarded with a fair measure of suc
cess. urged that he withdraw his res
ignation, believing it would be hard
to replace him here. He was asked to
accept a vacation during the summer
months. when he and his good wife
might visit their old home in Norway,
and return in the fall and again take
up the work here. The opposition %
him, these declared, was no personal,
and they believed that when he return
ed there would be such a unanimous
call for him to his pastoral re-
lations that he could not well withstand
it.
The matter of the resignation of Mr..
Hansen was turned owe to the trus-
tees of the church, who will %endeavor
to bring their pastor to their way OF
thinking. He is determined to spend
the summer in Norway. This he had
made up his mind to do some time ago
and if it can be arranged, he will be
granted a vacation OF as many months
as he cares to accept and then return
and again take up the work. The very
best of feeling prevailed at the meeting

surer and Chris NJ. Tegner as secre-

reports of the secretary and treasurer
were read and filed. and the church was
found to be in good shape, barring lack
OF attendance at the services. The
treasury starts the new year with a
balance of $3.50, all its debts paid and
the buildings in good order. The pas

A Christmas Story.
written by Mayola Nichols, Of Thatcher schO,

Written by aayola Nichols, Of Thatcher school.
| will tell you the story Of a
Christmas OF many years ago. 1t
was about an aged woman whose
husband was killed in the war of
1912. The lady and her grand
child Ga little girl aged twelve)
lived all alone in little log honse.
They were very poor, and the
old woman was in feeble health,
but still she and the little girl
would have to wash on cold win
ter days to earn their food.
1t was just two days till Christ
man, and the old lady didn't have
even a penny TO buy the little
girl present for it took all they
could make to buy food and cloth
ing.
Christmas eve came on at last
The old lady put the child to bed;
then she knelt down and prayed
to the Lord that be might send her
something to give to the little girl.
She finished her prayer and sat
down by the fire. Presently some
one knocked at the door and
to her great surprise she saw Il
little girl standing there with her
arms loaded with dresses, dolls
and other things, She gave them
to the lady and said, "These are
for you and your little girl" Then
the lady said, "God bless you,
you sweet child, that you may
have a happy Christmas"
After the little girl had gone
she closed the door and with
smile on her face went into the
room where her grandchild was
sleeping, and filled her stockings
with toys and dresses; then she
took of her stockings and filled
them also. After she had done
this she went TO bed and slept
soundly all night.
The next morning when they
both arose, the girl said, "Grand-|
mamma look, look! Santa Claus
has been here" Hor grandma
then said, "Why your dear neigh

GOUGlNG THE GOVERNMENT,

That was funny little comedy
that ran in the daily papers recent
~ on such a very uninteresting
subject as ordinary cements say
Forestry and Irrigation, One day
we were told that congress was to
be appealed to by certain manu-
facturers in order to stop the Off
cials of the Interior Department
from manufacturing cement for
use in building the great govern
ment irrigation works in the West;
the claim being that it was unfair
for the government to compete
with private enterprises, when
their cement trust was ready to
furnish all the material needed at
raise in price of only about 200
per cent. After learning the
strength of the governments posi-
tion, and that the public took no
stock in their cry of the danger of
its competing with individual eff
forts, these same "protesters" sud
denly discover that it was cnly
certain wicked trust" men that
had raised the prices; they would
be very glad to furnish the cement
at the prices the government could
manufacture it. This is only an
other example Of the sort of un
written law that exists in this
country, that there is no harm in
overebarging the government,
Luckily in this case the would-be
grafters collided with the wrong
men, for the Reclamation Service
is composed of honorable, practi.
cal men, who put the great work
they are doing ahead of all private
considerations.

THERE is not naturally health

for the benefit Of their health have

There are thousands ofpeople who
would come here from the east
during the winter months if they
knew what we have to offer. 1t
seems to us that the business men
ofthis valley should get together
and devise some means ofinducing
these people TO come here. 1t can

Eve, Midnight and Morning.
written for the GuARD1ANJ

1t was New Years eve, the last
eve of the last century and the
beautiful city of I'll Paso was light
as day with the varigatcd colors Of
the electric lamps that sbone out
in every conceivable shape of
beauty from decorated arch and
overhangings fparks and gardens,
from every doorway and towering
dome and street and alley, all was
aglow and cast a magnificent lustre
over every sidewalk and passway
where the tide of humanity surged
to and fro; the beautiful maiden, in
her costume of fashionable attire,
the matron, in her suit of grey,
the fashionable gentleman, the old
man, the cripple and unfortunate,
all basking in the last rays of light
that would ever shine upon them
in the passing hours of 1900, which
were counted now. Her roll of
time would soon be sealed up only
to be opened in the great eternity
to reveal who were written there.
All! What images are penciled
there. Some glowing deeds of
valor and love, some shining path
ways paved that lead to everlast-
ing heights, some have sacrificed
their lives that others might be
blessed; some have slipped life's
sweetness all day long; some have
tasted only the bitter dregs; all
have come to the last eve of the
century together, all TO say good
bye to her dying months.
The great clock strikes twelve,
when the doleful, deafening alarm
whistle of The fire department peal
ed forth its awful sound and in an
instant is followed by the whistles
from every work shop, church
bells, firing of guns and the roar
ing of cannons. The indescribable
sound would make the listener
think that not only the end of
the century, but the end of the
world had come. To me il seemed
an awful funeral knell. As L lay
on my pillow at midnight |
thought, what does all this say to i
me2 1t says that you will never
hear this awful sound again in this
life; before it comes again You will
have slept in the grave aud yonr
infant babe will have become old
and grey and have seen his chit
dren's children and also lain down
ere the first moments of another
century are thus announced.
When the first morn of the cen
tury dawned and the great sun
with its searching gaze cast forth |
its brilliant rays, few fell upon |
the crown of those whose journey |
of life had spanned the century |
and few bright rays fell upon the
infants heads who would behold |
the first morn of another century.
Who of us stop to think. A hun
dred years hence and an entirely |
new generation will possess and
inhabit this earth; and we "tbe
ones that are now" will have |
passed to the great beyond our
friendship there to renew, to "know
as we are known" 10 receive the
treasures we have laid up in
Heaven; to look back and see what
we have left to posterity; to sec
where we have left our names en-.
craven here; TO see the image of
our lives engraven in the great
eternity; to pass before us a pleas
ing panorama or bring back scenes
to our memory from which we
would turn away.
