Under a recent order of the

'homeseekers' tickets by the

to stand, will naturally affect
the western and northwestern

disadvantage. One fare for the

For ScaIdinu a Cow.

Wednesday morning Sheriff
Slower brought in Harry Smith
whom he arrested the previous
day at Dalhart under a warrant
charging him, Smith, with will
fully injuring a COW the property
of T. c. Thompson.
Smith was engaged at the rail
way material camp in the west
ern portion of the town and on
Friday of last week it is alleged
he poured boiling water on the
cows side from the effects of
which the COW is expected to die.
Wednesday evening, in the
county court, Smith pleaded
guilty to the charge and fine of
S25 and costs was assessed
against him.
Cows are terribly aggravating
at times and especially to those
minus the protection of good
fences and gates, but the law,
and very properly so too, strictly
prohibits under a severe penalty
any bodily injury to the animal in
the case.
In the opinion of The News there
are few higher crimes than will
full cruelty to dumb animals and
in this particular instance we
cannot help but think that the
circumstances Of aggravatiOn
were such as would have reduced
to manslaughter. To be-
lieve otherwise The News would
feel bound to say that the defend
ants assessment. all told over
$50, was too light.

Our Community Interest.

Man Is selfish creature. he
has this principle born in him
from the very beginning of
things. 1t was placed there, no
doubt, so that in primitive ages
he could the better lay up store
against the hour of need for his
family and his kin people-the
tribe or clan TO which he be-
longed
This principle of selfishness
or self preservation, implanted
not only in man but almost the
entire animal creation, has not
lost one jot or title on account of
the advance of modern civiliza-
ton; if any difference, it has
rather increased in proportion as
our tastes are cultivated. An
GENTLY the bulk of mankind was
satisfied if the actual material
wants of the day and season were
forthcoming, now we borrow
trouble from the future and seek
to guard against its frequently
imaginary evils by piling up dol
lars.
1t has been well said that man 5
first duty is to his Creator; next
to his country and then to those
dependent upon him. Then, in
primitive times, followed the
family, tribe or clan from which
he sprang. This order of things
was necessary in those days and
therefore, humanity speaking,
right. And, in our times, when
tribes and clans are scattered.
what more natural than that our
nabors, forming the community
in which we live, should occupy
the fourth place in our affections:
Under this rule it would be, first
allegiance to God, second, our
country, third, self and family,
and fourth, the community in
which we make our home.
This is reasonable rule and a
proper one and should be fol
lowed by every citizen of this
town, Canyon City. To those of
us, having our homes here, it is
our community, its citizens are
our nabOrs; their interests are
our interests and we should all
stand together for the common
good.
Just at present our commun-
ity interests" lays in getting to-
gether along several lines and
among them the following:
To obtain a grain elevator; a
steam laundry; an electric light
plant; a brick yard, a waterworks
system, and TO adopt ways and
means of bringing actual settlers
to the surrounding country.
In order to accomplish this it
does not necessarily follow that
we must give bonuses or, even
through our incorporation, grant
franchises. The first, The News |
is, upon general principles, OPP
posed to and the second, the
granting of franchises, is not
necessary, but we should show
a willingness to entertain prop
ositions of this character and
stand ready at any and all times
to give encouragement to all
such enterprises. This can be
best done through the agency of
O Commercial Club or Board of
Trade. We had one once. Why

all other offenders against the sumo
statute. To enforce the laws is the
sworn duty of the officers of the law; a
duty, it must be admitted, which is
frequently shirked or avoided. The
complaint, if any, is against the law
and law makers. The remedy is to Sc
cure the repeal of the obnoxious
statute.
In the particular case, there is no le-
climate complaint either against the
law or its enforcement. The law pro-
hibiting the use of nickel-in-the-slo
gambling devices meets with the APP
prevail of considerable ma GRITTY of
the people. because it is intended to
meet u very real and very grave evil.
The enc thing legitimate about the
dealers complaint, a point which they
do not urge themselves, is that the evil
which it is now attempted to root out
should never been permitted to grow
to its present proportions.
Many cigar stores fourished and did
a fair business before the days of the
nickel machine, The introduction of
the gambling devices operated to in
crease the number of ostensible cigar
stores out of all proportion to the le-
Ultimate demands of trade, in order to
feed and to increase the popular taste
for gambling. Having been permitted
to violate the laws so long, the cigar
dealers have got into the frame of
mind to believe that they have special
privileges to do SO for all time. The
machines are out again, for the third
or fourth time.
They should be kept out permanent
ly and the business of operating cigar
stores required to readjust itself to a
legitimate basis and no longer be
merely an adjunct and blind for petty
gambling.-P.-1.

to keep the present mill running for

GONE cigar store keepers of this
city are in great state OF indig'
nation over the recent order OF
Mayor Ballinger, enforced by the po-
lice, prohibiting the operation OF
nickel-in-the-slot machines and all
other grmbling devices in the stores
which are conducted by these gentle
men. All sorts of improper motives
are charged as being behind the order
given to enforce the statute laws of
the state.
The peculiar thing about the attitude
Of the complaining cigar dealers is
that they one and all claim that the
gambling devices are absolutely essen
tial to the conduct of their business
and, if they are deprived of the privi-
lege, as the law has already deprived
them of the right, to operate these
gambling devices, they will be unable
to make living by the sale of their
goods alone. They talk about the CT
gar dealers being singled out, for some
Interior motives, and "forced out of
business"
No cigar man is forced out of bust
ness. Not the slightest restraint is
imposed upon the business of selling
cigars and tobacco. The one thing
which has been done is to call atten-
ton to the fact that the law prohibits
the use of gambling devices, not par
ticularly in cigar stores but anywhere,
and to give the cigar dealers warning
that, if they persist in violating the
law they will be arrested therefor.
They claim that they cannot make a
living, unless permitted to violate the
law. They admit, by their attitude
and some of them in direct terms, that
the operation of the gambling device is
the main feature of their bust ness, and
the sales of cigars and tobacco are the
mere incident. If this be the case,
certainly they should be put out OF
business.
No man voices legitimate complaint
when he demonstrates against the en-
forcement of the criminal laws against
which he is an offender, providing that
the laws are likewise enforced against

ED F. KINGERY, Ellensburg:
AS per telegram of today, have to
report that the work at the mine is
going on much more satisfactory than
ever before in the history of the mine.

thing | noticed was the friendly spirit

us and is something new, as heretofore
our superintendents nave not been able
to get the men interested in the out
come of the mine, but now they all
seem to have the feeling of success and
are all trying hard to do their part and
they all say Tarasca will be the best of
all mines in the country.

strike on the $50 level and we have
taken out about ten tons of this kind of
ore. | left the mine to come to Her

see that it is very rich. The day it
was struck, our superintendent had "a
friend of mine, a stock holder, who had
come down to the mines with me to see
how things were, and when they got
into the face of the drift, they were
