establishment may be imagined,
but can't be described, when he
read this letter. Why, there never
has been any fifty cent land in
New Madrid county, and now since
several hundred miles of drainage
bitches have been opened, they
are still very cheap down here but
readily bring twenty or thirty
times more than fifty cents. Our
lands are the most fertile on earth.

January Is, 1906, at $3.50 P. NJ.
After intense suffering for a few
days, this precious little flower
passed to its reward above. His
stay on earth was brief, but his
mission was not in vain. He
awakened parental love into being.
He taught the beauty of innocence
of purity, and with his bright eyes
sparkling with light he revealed
Immortality to a world of death.
Little Eugene's place is vacant in
the home, but the precious little
flower that began to bloom on
earth has been transplanted in the
paradise of God, where he is watt
ing for the coming of. father and
mother and sister and brother.

That is a very pathetic appeal
that is put in the mouths of the
Spaughs, copied from the Globe
Democrat in this issue of the REGIS
TER. | must give credit to the
slick lawyer who formulated it. He
is certainly a loo-loo. Tailor Daw-
son, too, ought to be a king, with
unlimited pardoning power. But
none of his milk of human kind
ness would flow for the desperate,
lawless, vindictive and villainous
citizens of this community-all of
whom we are which, excepting the
innocent and much abused
Spaughs. For them he will head a
subscription list, as is right and fit.
Bless him, for he can't help being
an ass. He seems to have been
born that way. William "owes
nobody ill-will"--a big change of
heart since his conviction. And
"the boys" r going to write a
book and "tell it ALL" Do they
hope, by threatening to ''tell it
all," to obtain a part of the neces-
sary funds? Tailor Dawson, the
charitable, may in that event con-
tribute his mite to the mother made
a widow through the act of his
proteges.
The following appeared in the
Globe Democrat, telegraphed from
Washington, D. c., under date of
January 10Th: Representative
Rhodes of Missouri has introduced
a bill setting aside 100 acres of
land, embracing old Fort David
son, where Gen. Ewing met and
repulsed General Sterling Prices
forces in their invasion of Mis-
souri, from Arkansas when st.
Louis was Prices objective point,
during the civil war. The bill
seeks to create a public park COM
memorating the battle of Pilot
Knob, one of the most important
battles fought in Missouri, and
which prevented the attack con-
templated upon ST.. Louis. The
government already has a rifle
range known as the Arcadia range,
in the vicinity, and Grant springs
and the Grant oak, under which
Gen. Grant received his commits
sion as a general, are embraced in
the reservation. The oak is
marked and several cannon from
the battlefield of Shiloh have been
placed there, together with a
monument of Grant by the govern
ment. The amount appropriated
for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of the bill is $500. The
Pilot Knob Memorial Association,
of which David Murphy, of st.
Louis, is president, is deeply in
terested in the project, and Mr..
Rhodes is cooperating with them
in their efforts"
DR.. Chas. P. Harvielle, an old
Valley boy, is now located at
Robinson, Utah, where he owns
The Tintic Hospital. Many of the
Dr.'s friends here will be glad to
know he is prospecting. He writes
us the following interesting letter:
Dear Mr.. Ake:-Have been think
ing of writing you something re-
garding Utah and her people ever
since my arrival in the land of
cayotes, sage brush and plural
marriages, but seems as if some
interruption came up that has
made a terrible delay. purchased
this institution nearly a year ago
and transferred a one-half interest
to my brother-in-law, DR.. Bailey,
Jr., who is with me in work. We
do a large contract mining prac-
tice and are doing we'll, but it's an
awful place to live. On a hillside,
not a tree nor sprig of grass any
where near. We are having an
awful winter with lots of pneu-
monia, which, by the way, is SO
fatal here. NV little girl came
down with it, as many others did
of late. We hustled her into Salt
Lake City and kept her there until
a few days ago, and now | am 60
ing to take her to California to
leave her and her mother until
