JEFFERSON Davis Birthday Celebra-
ton.

The U. G. Veterans have invited Ma
jos James F. Hart to deliver the Grafton
at the Jefferson Davis birthday celebra-
tloD, June 3rd. Maj Hart was born
and reared in this county as most of our
people know, and his war record to them
Is well known; also know that no braver
or more gallant officer fought in the
Confederate army. Maj Hart delivered
In 1Olkviile the address al the irst
memorial. exercises held there in 1874
being the first time the graves of the SOL
d;ers were ever decorated with flowers
He said, To-day, then for the first time
since the first hostile shot of the war, the
Conquered Banner as we'll as the Star
Spangled Banner takes its place In our
common history; the one to be folded
away tenderly in the hearts of the South
ern people; the other, let us devoutly
trust, to remain forever the emblem of
Union restored. In this enclosure lie
the the mOrtrl remains of soldiers of the
Confederacy, and soldiers of the Federal
army. The grave knows no distinction
between them, nor strife, nor bitterness
As you pass througe this silent camping
ground of the dead to place your gar
lands upon their mounds, affection
claims for your kindred and loved ones
the first notice. And in placing them
over the silent clay of the heroes whose
va|or is our common heritage. it is
needless to inquire whether he was
buried in blue or gray jacket; or
whether he fell under the fiery Southern
Cross, or the Stars and Stripes"
Maj. Hart lost leg and is now num-
bered among the crippled heroes of the
loved and lost cause.

Barn Burned.

Capt. A. III. Foster has another loss
by fire. The barns and stables on his
Cedar Grove place, near Meansville,
were destroyed by fire between and 8
o'clock Tuesday night. The live stock
were all saved, but the hay, fodder and
other provender were burned. We have
not heard any of the particulars, or the
origin of the fire. The loss is consider
able in view of the high price of stock
food at this season.

BOUNTY CLAIMS DECREASING.
Fewer Predatory Animals Killed Un-
der Changed Law.

During the three months ending
March 81 Ira L. Whitney, local in
spector under the new bounty law,
inspected 1876 coyote and IA wolf skins,
which was a little more than half the
whole number of such skins inspected
in the county. The amount of bounty
due on the skins certified to by Mr..
Whitney was $685.. i
Since the present law became effec.
tive the claims for bounty from this
county have averaged about $500 a
month. Under the old law claims OF
that kind were much greater. Re.
course to the record shows that for
the year 1901 certificates ~aggregating
$10,583 were issued by the county
clerk. The total for 1902 was S.,
$50, and for the five months of 1903.
after which time the law now in
force became operative, the total was
$2,975.

WONDERS OF IRRIGATION.
Artist With Pen Draws Truthful and
Striking Picture.

In the April number Of the Pacific
Monthly w. F. G Thatcher draws this
picture of the miracle irrigation
works:
"Picture a desert sea of aching
waste, hot under the brazen sun. No
green thing is there. Only the sap
less %sagebrush or the ghostly grease
wood can extract sustenance from the
parched earth. A coyote bowls hun
~concentric circles, each awaiting the
death of some hopeless thing that
has been trapped in the deserts
maze. Eaters of carrion-of living
things, these alone the desert nour-
ishes.
"But, in the course Of time, men
come, with tools and engines AID do
cile beasts. Busily they delve and
toll, and from a far-off river a channel
is dug. From it lesser veins are
made to ramify until the face OF the
desert is scanned with burrows. Then
the water is admitted from the distant
trimming stream. 1t surges through
the main channels and steals gently
down the lesser ways. Myriads of life
giving fingers touch the seed that men
have sown in the hot, pulverized soil.
Man has accomplished his work and
willing nature takes up the task.
Heat, moisture, a soil rich in nourish-
ment; to these the seed responds and
sends it's tendrils up into the sun
shine, covering the naked earth with
a garment of verdure. Cattle feed
upon the succulent grasses. The
heavy grain bows it's head to the har-
vester. Fruit trees attain a magic
growth and yield their luscious bur-
den. Houses and barns are built and
group themselves into villages. Road
ways reach out to other settlements.
The railroad stretches it steely length
across the earth. The hum of indus
try arises and, lo!-the miracle is
wrought. The desert is reclaimed.
""The lean coyote sinks back toward
the further waste, and the buzzard
seeks a new hunting ground"

NO TIDINGs FROM WILLIAMS.
District Court Clerk Still Absent and
No Prospect Of His Return.

mo TUO0RCNS VI ITO UASsAvIss rtN
About the last lingering hope OF
some of his most loyal friends that
T. "A. Williams, the missing district
court clerk, will return, has vanished.
If Williams has been heard from by
anyone in the city since he dropped
out of sight at San Francisco a month
ago the fact has been kept a profound
secret.
The of opinion among the
best informed people here is that Will
liams will never return and that he
had no idea of returning to his post
of duty when he left here for the os-
tensible purpose of Strengthening up
some land matters in which he had
become %entangled as clerk of the
district court. Williams long silence
convinces many in the city that he
deliberately sought some secluded To-
cality in the southwest where his
whereabouts could not easily be dis
covered and some are of the opinion
that he has taken up his residence
in Mexico.
Williams accounts with the county
are square, a balance having been
struck by the timely financial assist
ance rendered by relatives, and ever
should he voluntarily return or be
brought back by an officer it is doubt
full ii his alleged shortage on account
of land matters would amount to any.
thing more than a breach of trust.

s out of Miners.
Since yesterday morning a strike
has been on at Red Lodge and the
Northern Pacific coal mines there are
shut down in consequence.
The trouble arose over the appoint
ment of a check weighman. The
union selected a man not in the en-
ploy of the company. To this General
Manager Pettigrew objected, saying
that in accordance with the agree
ment existing between the company
and the union only a member OF the
latter could be permitted to fill the
place. The union decided to stand
by its man, Nathan Smethurst, and
he reported for duty. MI. Pettigrew
ordered him to leave the weigh house.
Smethurst did so and the strike fol
lowed.

Carey p. Snyder, alias Savage, Re-
mains Behind Bars at Kansas City.
Readers of The Gazette will remem>
Der a young man of the name of Carey
P. Snyder, alias Savage" and his
career with city officers and the courts
of the county last fall. Snyder was
finally taken to Kansas City after a
series of most exciting episodes in
which he was the principal actor.
The young nan was accused of be-
ing implicated in a diamond robbery,
his victim being a notorious pawn
broker of the lower Missouri river
metropolis. A former classmate Of
Snyder's sends news from there to the
effect that the friends and relatives
of Snyder are NOT pushing for a trial
of the case and that the p~awnbroker,
characteristic of his profession, stands
ready to compromise and is pleading
for the quashing of the indictment
against Snyder.
The Kansas City authorities thus
far have failed to look upon the case
in the same light as the pawnbroker,
who is alleged to have been the vic
tim of Snyder and his pal, and in
consequence Snyder is taking life
easy in a Kansas City Jail, trusting
that the action will finally be drop
ped from the court docket.

AMERICAN BANKERS
Coming to Their Senses at Last Says the
Wall Street Journal.

The American Bankers As
ISOLATION, at its Forthcoming con-
vention in this city, is to vote
upon an amendment to the con-
stitution proposed by the State
Bankers Association of New
York.
This amendment provides for
a standing protective committee
composed of three persons,
whose names are not to be made
public, and who shall control all
actions looking to the detection
and punishment of persons at
tempting to cause or actually
causing loss, to any member of
the association by loans obtained
upon false statements of tinan-
cial condition.
The banks, which are them
selves under a system OF public
publicity established for the pro-
lection of the public, have insti-
tuted system of private pub
licity for the protection of
themselves against dishonest Dor
rowers. This system consists of
obliging borrowers to make de-
tailed statements of their bust
ness before they can obtain
credit. 1t is now proposed to
take effective measures to pub
lish dishonesty in making these
statements.
Full and truthful financial
statements are therefore The
basis of sound credit.
In like manner full and truth
full statements of financial condi-
ton must be the basis of sound
investment.
The borrower who refuses to
make statement is not entitled
to credit. The corporation
which refuses such a statement
is not entitled to confidence.
If either one or the other
makes a false statement, it is
guilty of an attempt to obtain
money on false pretenses.

CLOSING
Of Factories May Mean War to the
Death on Union Labor in
Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Regarding the
stockyards strike as now approach
ing certain and complete collapse,
wholesale employers of labor in
Chicago are declared to contemplate
taking advantage of the situation to
wrest the city from Its position as
the stronghold of organized labor in
America. While refusing to admit
it, the closing down of great indus
trial institutions, such as is said to
be the intention of the management
of the Pullman Car Works, is mere
ly an incident, it is averred, in the
movement. It is estimated that
225 900 men employed in great in
dustrial plants of the country are in
momentary peril of being made idle.
Continued reductions in the work
ing forces at Pullman and an i'm
pending complete shutdown have
caused widespread apprehension
among the mechanics employed
there, and their applications for
work are numerous in all depart
ments of the labor market in Chi
cago.
Unrest has been caused in the in
dustrial army employed in the
plants of the International Har-
vester Company through similar
fears, and the same is true in other
large manufacturing establishments.
1t is estimated that it cost Chicago
over $500, 900, 900 for police protection
furnished strike affected plants dur
ing the last eighteen months. Aside
from that cost, fortunes have been
expended by firms and individuals
in meeting strike conditions. Yet
the newspapers are filled with
stories of assaults, murders and
property damage that even these
precautions have not sufficed to pre-
vent. N'Flt 3s.ts
In the face of these facts it Is only
natural that this opportunity to curb
the unions may be taken advan-
tage Of. .S
Chicago is just completing q vast
tunnel system for handling freight,
and this means q death blow to the
teamsters' unions, the backbone of
trades unionism In this city.
