He contributed literally of his
means, and cheerfully of his ser
vices and devotion to the cause OF
Christ. His home was always
open for the itinerant minister and
he considered it a great privilege to
entertain them in his house.
On April first, 1860 he was unit
ed in marriage to Hulda o. Carpen-
ter, and for forty-six years they
have shared together, in the JOY
and the trouble, in the care and de-
votion and self-denial in the max
ing of a home. To them were
born two sons and two daughters;
OF these Hugh Henry West, Junior,
died in 1887, aged twenty-five
years; while Clara A. Collins,
James P. West and Daisy May
Ferguson, survive.
TO these children were born Es-
tella Frances Collins who died in
infancy, and Nolan West Ferguson,
Robert Hills West, and Gladys
May West, who survive.
John Robert West, as he was
familiarly known, was man of
the highest integrity and honor. He
believed in square deal and an
accurate accounting with every
man. There was no tagging in
anything he undertook to do.
Whatever he did, he did with his
whole might. He toiled not for
himself alone, but that he might
leave material comforts for his wife
and children. He was good
neighbor, a strong friend to those
in distress, a careful guardian of
those interests which were intrust-
ed to his care.
He was plain and unassuming in
his daily walk and life. With an
intense zeal he adhered to every
we'll grounded conviction. In all
things he did what he believed was
right and best, and when he fell as
the strong oak, it was with an UNI
alterable trust and full submits
sion to the will of God.
The funeral occurred Monday
forenoon from the home on North
Mulberry, Rev, Willis and Rev.
Matthias officiating. A touching
instance of arrangement at the
funeral were the six brothers act
ing as pail bearers; they are Hugh
Henry West Commissioners of this
county, Tom West, of Indiana,
Porter, ELI and Wash West from
Columbus. and Joe West from

THE BEGINNING
OF THE END.

Senator Dick has been in des
perate straits since Governor Har-
ris presided at the convention of
the Anti-Saloon league of Ohio
and received the Endorsement of
the league for governor in 1908,
for since that time he has been be-
set by representatives of the liquor
interests on every hand who make
plain their desire to understand
how be can give support to tenn
perance candidate for governor
and redeem the many pledges
made them in exchange for sup
port during the recent campaign.
Shortly after Governor Harris
assumed the duties of his high
office it was charged that Senator
Dick had succeeded In effecting
an understanding with him, where
by the governor was to be given
the "solid" support of the Dick
Foraker-Cox machine in exchange
for the privilege of filling the Of
fees made vacant by the discharge
Of the Pattison appointees and
that the story was true, evidence
is afforded by the fact that every
officeholder thus far appointed is
recognized member of the ma
chine.
1t will also be recalled that
when Governor Harris assumed
the reins of Office he was heralded
far and wide as a strong temper
ance advocate, in every respect
the equal of his lamented prede-
cessor; but the fact that he kept
his views to himself and did not
seek to enforce the law, led many
to believe that the compact as be-
tween himself and Boss Dick in
cluded liberal construction of the
laws.
But all ideas of the governors
liberality with reference to the
liquor laws vanished into thin,
blue atmosphere when the govern
or presided at the Anti-Saloon
league convention and aeknowl-
edged the Endorsement of his can
didacy.
Boss Dick, therefore, finds him
self in an awkward predicament
by reason of support pledged
temperance candidate on the one,l
hand and promises andgpiedges to
the Liquor leag4saoh the other.
AS the story goes, Dick promis-
ed the liiador interests of the state
that irreturn for votes for Thomp-

The Mayors Order.
(ColumbusJ Journal.)

The order of Mayor Badger to
close the saloons on Sunday is
simply in conformity with his oath
of office to enforce the laws, and
for this act he will be commended
by the people, whose expression
the law is. This action is an in
dication that the mayor has come
to Il realization of his responsible
ties as the chief cOnservator of the
laws of the city. The law says
the saloons must be closed on Sun
day, and there is no way for the
mayor to do hut to enforce it if he
proposes to obey the law himself,
which he can do only by meeting
squarely the obligation of his oath.
When Governor Pattison, that
great advocate of temperance and
law enforcement, was alive, Mayor
Badger issued an order similar to
to that of yesterday Some slight
attention was paid to it for short
time, hut the order was soon al
lowed to lapse into dead letter.
No serious attempt was made to
enforce it. 1t is hoped the mayor
has made up his mind to persist
this time in enforcing the law and
to meet fully the responsibility
placed upon him by his oath of Of
flee.

Township Road Law,

Under the new road law which
goes into effect on December 1st
the old time road Supervisor will
become thing of the past in Ohio
and thereafter the officials to take
their places will be appointed by
the township trustees. Under the
new law each township will be
divided into not more than four
districts and road Superintend-
ent will be appointed for each dis
trlct. Under his direction the
roads are to be improved, the two
days labor done, and the township
road tax worked out. Superintend-
ents must work at all times under
the direction of the trustees and
is subject to discharge by them at
any time they may see fit. The
Superintendent is empowered to
employ laborers to work under him
at the rate not to exceed 25 cents
per hour. Every male between
the ages of 81 and So, except SOL
dlers members of the National
Guard, must work ont two days or
pay So in money. The work is to
be done between April Is and July
LIST each year. The So can be col
lected from any one refusing to
work, and he has no way of escap-
ing it.

would not permit any temperance
legislation at the next session OF
the legislature; but the liquor
men are wondering how this can
be done if Harris, the candidate
of the Adti-Saloon league, is re.
turned to the office OF governor IN
190S-and as they think it over
they are inclined to doubt the sin
cerity of the Republican boss.
Another promise the boss is al
legged to have made consists of a
reduction of the saloon tax to
$500 and the defeat of county
local option in event any member
of the legislature should manifest
the temerity to introduce it; but
the liquor men know that the boss
is pledged to the candidacy of the
Anti-Saloon leagues candidate
and they feel that there ie little
hope of the fulfllment of his
promise.
But Il ray of hope appears to
have punctured the cloud of de-
spair. Rendered desperate by the
numerous demands for explana-
tions, Dick has "come back" with
the statement that elf Governor
Harris does not desire the nomina-
tion in 1908, it will be given to
Harding of Marlon,' thus demon
strating that the power to name
the ticket and dictate the party's
policies is still within Mr.. Dicks
hands.
But it appears that Dicks
course since the election has been
replete with 80 many evidences of
bossism that even the conservative
Republican organs have taken
alarm. In fact, Dicks attitude
with regard to Governor Harris is
u little more than Editor Mack, of
the Sandusky Register, can stand,
and he proceeds to tell the boss a
few things in most emphatic
language. Here are one or two
shots from the Sandusky editor:
"We may remark right here
that whether Dick is for him or
not in 1908, if Governor Harris
wishes the nomination he can have
it. The people will nominate him ;
they will not ask Dicks consent
pr approval, and we have not a
shadow of doubt that if the
governors robust health continues
he will be nominated hands down.
y The people are drawing a
lice distinction between loyalty to
heir parties and obdience to boss
IS. They have made the discov-
,ry that "a political party is not
,oln4sasdeef bosses; that il is COM
posed of the people whoasdo the
,oting, and that the bosses consti-s
ute an entirely different affair
rom the political party that has a
light to "a mans loyalty as long as
lie belongs to it. < X \ The peo-

Gold Discovery Near hotcbkiss.

Our friends up the valley. at town
named Hotchkiss, are handing US sensa-
tons in punches nowadays. the latest
being a discovery of gold Last week
they had sensation in the coal fields
and now it is gold. The INDEPENDENT
hopes that these great discoveries will
turn out to be all wool aEd yard wide
Following is what the times says about
the gold discovery:
Early in the present veek news came
down from where the Todd reservoir Is
situated thai n great strike had been
made of mineral bearing ore and seon
the news hid leaked out that the men
working at the reservoir had feRd
that they hsd been piliEg into the dam
some hundreds of tons Of rock vhich
ran from fire to sixteen dollars in geld
to the ton. They Immediately sought
dam materials at some other point Qnite
a ways removed from the original place
and here again they ran on to the same
yellowish- brown rock. They have had
it assayed enough to know that the
values are tIaere and SO they decided to
have location stakes put up Immediately.
Ten men from town have their stakes
up and so far Rs is known they have the
field well covered. In one of the sam
pies the gentlemen making it scraped
up some of the dirt with his hands
after the scraper had been over it and
sent the sample in to the assayer. 1t

from the top. five dollars in gold.

There Will be Racing. Cow Ropine

The Hotchkiss Fair is the only exhi-
btion of its kind to be held in Delta
county during the year 1906. Citizens
Of that enterprising little city are max
ing elaborate preparations for great
exhibit of the products of the soil, in
GLIDING fruit, vegetables, grains and
grasses. The live stock show will be
worth going miles to see and we are
told they will have fine showing of
cattle, horses, sheep and hogs. There
will be racing. broncho-busting. cow
roping and everything that contributes
toward making first class sport pro-
gram.
The fair will be held Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Sept 26, q and
.. Thursday the 9th is designated as
Peach Day" Peaches will be as free
as Doughspoon water IS in Delta. The
fruit will be contributed by growers of
that locality in quantities sufficient to
appease the appetites of all who pre-
sent themselves to be filled, be that one
thousand or five thousand. Peach
Day" will be the big day. 1t is pro-
posed to run a special train, possibly

Montrose. The Delta and Olathe ball
teams will cross bats for a prize of 500

| The fair association have erected an
Exhibition building 3oxl00Tt. with out
side sheds for the poultry exhibit. In
fact Hotchkiss is making an herculean
effort to bring off the best fair they
have ever held and to establish repu-
tation that will assure them large at
tendance in future years.
The INDEPENDENT would like to see
big crowd attend from Delta. Many
of our business men and towns people
need a days outing and all would enjoy
an occasion of this kind. We owe it to
Hotchkiss and that part of the county.
They came down in large numbers to
the log rolling. but. regardless of any
thing of that kind We should go up and
attend the fair and help boost for it.
Let US show our appreciation of their
enterprise by giving them the benefit
of our patronage and doing anything
We can in other ways to help make the
fair a success.
