''The Gates Of Justice"
Thank God, I have killed that
man." was the execratiOn OF Allan
Jackson upon Robert Vane, in the
climax Of The Gates Of Justice" at
the opera house Monday night. In
the light Of reality even, it would have
been an heroic act for an outraged
husband to thus rid himself Of an en-
envy bent upon the destruction Of q
pure and hOnored home. And so in
the play, the good man was the mas
ter Of his enemies God somehow
stands within the shadow Of the
righteous and noble man, and con-
POUNDS the Vaccinations Of the wick
ed
The central thread OF the play
wound itself around Allan Jackson
and his newly welded wife, who, in
spite Of damaging evidences against
her, declared devotion Robert Vane
was a former lover, and losing out
used Jackson's slave, who had been
offered freedom by his master, in his
attempt to break what love and God
had Joined together Dismissed by
Mrs. Jackson in the most emphatic
manner in a letter, Vane dared to en-
ter her home to plead his cause, when
out with his enemy with the play Of
guns. Jackson was wounded and lost
his reason, which subsequently return
ed at a moment when Vane still press
ed his nefariOus suit Vance tried to
kill, but his hand was shortened, and
as he fell before the true aim Of his
opponent. Jackson cried out, Thank
God. I have killed that man" The
slave sought to poison his good mas
ter. but by mistake drank his own
potion This servant had manipulated
letters to convict Mrs Jackson in her
husbands eyes, but the crooked things
were made straight, and a husbands
previously broken heart was restored
BY the proven cOnstancy OF a good and
true woman Hence, these two stood
out with splendOr in The Gates

This Section OF Country Has OutgrOWn
the Cattle Stage.
Western Kansas and eastern Colo
RADIO, portions OF the country that
have come for years 70 be spoken Of
solely as a vast cattle country, have
been literally transformed withiR the
past FIVE years. So natural and so
gradual has been the change that its
cOnsummatiOn is nothing short Of
marvellous, and the results obtained
are bound to interest not only the far
mer and the real estate dealer, 50
vitality interested, but the scientist
also
Inspired by cheap land, splendid cli-
matte conditions, good water, and fine
railway facilities, hundreds Of brainy,
capable tfllers Of the soil from all
parts Of the union went into this ter
ritOry a few years ago to make homes
and fortune. In five years their ef-
forts have shown almost unbelievable
results. Those results have just been
set forth in a booklet, with photo
graphs, published by Robert S. Lemon,
immigration agent OF the Union Pa
cific railway company, at Kansas City.
The booklet, which is made up prin-
cipaIly from figures and facts gather
ed by Secretary COburn, OF the state
department Of gariculture, tells Of an
unusual feature in connection with
the changed conditions
With the increase in the area Of
crops, there has been a steady in
crease in the rainfall and a change in
the climatic conditions These changes
in the elements unQUestiOnably have
come with the turning OF the land
from a cattle raising to an sgricultur
al country most interesting and
valuable point that must involve all
new districts.
The results come with particular
force at this time when there is so
much talk Of frauds in government
lands, and refute the claims Of cattle
men who, for selfish reasons, have for
years discouraged innovations upon
the part Of farmers, making the as
sertiOn that the grazing lands were
good for cattle only and that the far
mer who attempted to work the soil
would starve to death. It marks an
other point in the expansion OF the
farmer, who is gradually forcing the
cattle raiser from the territory he has
held for many years
so many people, said Mr.. Lemon,
in talking recently Of the book and the
work it describes, have an idea that
western Kansas is not surely prOduc-
tive The fact is that the finest wheat
land is there, the land is unsurpassed
for kafr corn, cane, barley, etc, and
there are many fine springfield creeks
in whose bottoms is fine alfalfa land
and where corn produces a good crop
The climate is surely changing, and
we not only have moisture, but can
grow good crops on less than we could
a few years ago"

IRRIGATED The TREES.
Commissioner KIauer and Assistant
Did GoOd Work

The trees in the court house yard
viii be early to meet thespring with
their foliage IL a good supply OF water
and extra care are to contribute to
that end Sunday the new steel stand
pipe was emptied OF the water that
had been pumped in and all OF it was
used in watering the court house trees.
Saturday a small ditch was prepared
by the use Of a pillow, running from
the standpipe to the court house yard,
and when the water gushed forth on
Sunday IL found a ready way OF es-
cape without being lost or wasted.
County Commissioner Klauer, assist
ed by J NJ Lamb, worked hard ali
that day in seeing that the water was
properly distributed among the fine
trees surrounding the court house, and
they did a good job OF it The water
was conducted in a single trench until
almost to the corner Of the court
house grounds, when it was sent into
two trenches, one leading into the
north and another into the south part
Of the yard In this way the task was
effectively performed, and the entire
court house grounds where trees are
growing was thoroughly soaked.
II the city park and trees on private
grounds shall have as careful hus-
banding as the trees IN the court
house yard, it viii not be long before
GOOdland viii nestle in the ample
shade Of beautiful trees.
The board Of education Of GOOdland
have decided to improve the appear
ance Of the school grounds in the
matter Of tree settling, and next spring
they viii have rs trees Of different
varieties put out on the GOOdland
school grounds, and the board will
see to il that the trees are well water
ed and carefully nurtured. Such pub
lie improvements grow into greater
value with each succeeding year, and
will continually contribute benefit
upon the boys and girls that shall at
tend the city schools in the years to
come.

WHISKY NOT NECESSITY.
Accordingly the Express Companies
May Raise Rate.

Nay Raise Rate.
BY vote Of the state board OF rail-
road commissioners, it has been decid-
ed that whisky is a luxury and not a
necessity. It is understood that the
vote stood two to one, but all efforts
to find out who the "One' was have
been absolutely futile.
The decision came up in the case OF
the United States Express company
which applied for permission to in
crease the jug rate" on whisky. jug
whisky has been coming into Kansas
from Missouri at a special commo-
dity rate" considerably cheaper than
other kinds Of express matter The
express companies decided they would
like to increase the rate They &C
cOrdingly fled with tne BOARD their
formal application, setting forth that
whisky is a luxury, and not a neces-
sity, and that it was not right to
charge a less rate for luxury than for
a necessity In other words, they
wanted to raise the rate on whisky
shipments so that the necessities
would not be the victims OF discrim-
nation
The board OF railroad commission
ers had a heated argument on the
subject, and one OF the members stuck
out till the last that whisky was a
necessity and should be brought in
at the present low rates. The other
members, however, ruled against him
and allowed the express company to
put in the higher rate. All the other
express companies will follow suit and
whisky viii have to pay an increased
tarif--TOpeka State Journal

Oh. the world may frOwn at you,
And your spirits try to blight,
But the skies are ever blue,

But twill joy and gladness bring,
Will a smile,

Many hearts viii dry their tears
And go singing on their way,
And they'll put away their fears,
Thinking OF the glad today.

Lonely lives are cheered each day,
Duties Iightened, hearts made glad,
Heavens beauty fills the way,
II to kindly words you'll add

Splendid samples of wheat and oats
were brought in this week to add to
the Josephine county exhibit at the
fair. Tho wheat was feet high and
thf oats ~ feet and grew ON the
old swinden place at the Appleagte
bridge now owned by J. D. Winner. Mr..
Winner had number of acres into
wheat and oats great portion of il
being as tall as the sample brought to
town. If dozen shocks of this kind
OF grain could be on exhibition at the
fair it would prove to all that Jose.
phine county has as fertile land as
can be found in any state.
Last Sunday the pulpit at the Pres.
byterian church was occupied bv the
Rev. Edward W. st. Pierre of Salem
who is occupied in rescue work
among the convicts at tie Oregon
penitontiary. Mr.. st, Pierre's dis.
course was a plea for the support of
this important work and he presented
the cause very effectively and ina
most interesting manner. Besides
giving the men moral assistance and
striving to place their feet in the
path OF rectitude, very considerable
part OF his work is in giving practical
heip to the men who are discharged.
hnding them situations and otherwise
neiplng them on their way. In the
evening Mr.. St Pierre told of the
reform school and the conditions
there.
