1t is our painful duty to record
the death of Frank w. Sawyer,
who died on Sunday evening, May
13, 1906. Frank was taken i'll five
weeks ago with spinal meningitis.
DR.. Empey was called and had at
tended him constantly. His moth
er, being physician, was in con-
slant attention at his bedside and
everything was done that medical
skill could accomplish, but he grad
ually sank away till death ended
his suffering. Frank was born in
Sparks, Neb., Jan. 81, 1892, and
was in his 18th year. Five years
ago Mr.. Sawyer moved to Tor
rington, where Frank has lived
since. Always a quiet, peaceable,
innocent boy, he seemed older than
his years would indicate. He was
a great help to his parents, always
busy when not in school about his
home and the store and so trust
worthy.
The above obituary is copied
from the Gering, (Neb.) Courier.
Many of our readers will remem-
Der the above deceased as the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sawyer who con-
Quoted store at Sparks and who
moved from here several years ago

A RANCHMAN's COMPLAINT.
When all the girls are teachers,
Stenographers and preachers,
Photographers and printers,
Doctors, lawyers, even sprinters,
O, who will cook our dinners?
For men must eat: the sinners.
And when sickness binds the mother,
And our fears we have to smother;
Have to strive with the housekeeping,
Strive with cooking, washing, sweep
ing,
And the little children weeping,
While black despair comes creeping;
Comes the girl of health and muscle,
Who can get around and hustle;
Who can lift the housewives burden;
Whose kindness wins guerdon
Of love and admiration
From the wise ones of the nation.
She can make the bread and butter,
She can wash and sweep-to utter
All her praises I'm not able;
But to sit down to the table,
You will say, may Heaven bless her.
And the children all caress her.
When she softly sings to baby,
The sweet thought Comes THAT may I've
You can win her for your treasure,
And your Joy have Ill measure
In the home you plan to build
And your heart with hope is thrilled.
She's accomplished and so pretty,
She's so modest and so witty;
There's few like her in this region.
l would her name were legion;
This sweet girl of health and muscle
With no use for pads or hustle.
Fen yet you'll find her here and there,
May God defend her everywhere.
Of school-ma ans there's plenty,
From sweet sixteen to twenty:
| And of typist and of clerk
Who, house work calmly shirk;
| We've enough and some to spare,
You'll find THEM everywhere.

HILL PESSIMlSTIC.
Sees Country Approaching Time When
Millions Will Cry for Bread.

St. Paul Jan. 17.-In a speech before
the Commercial club last night James J.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
railway. made some pungent observa-
tions regarding commercial conditions in
the nation.
''The nation at large" he said, ''is
prosperous. We are cutting a wide
swath-there is no doubth of that. If we
get down. however, to a closer examine
ton, we will readily see that the nation
is living prohigately. We are selling out
our natural resOurees-exploiting them as
fast as we can without building up in
dustries and trade relations to take their
place when exhausted.
1T is only a question of time till our
timber is exhausted. Our public domain
is all gone, and the nation can no longer
boast that it has homes for all. Where
are the immigrants rushing to our shores
to end up? Not on the land. We have
no more to offer them. They must crowd
into the cities.
when this nation has $50. 000. 900 people
they will have to do something else than
exploit natural resources to earn a living.
We viii eventually have to meet the COM
mercia1 competition England is meeting
today and have to face such problems as
she is now facing with 1900 600 unem-
feed them save as charity doles it out to
them
Mr. Hill closed his address with ex-
pressing a hope that steps would be taken
to conserve the national resources before
it was too late and to establish better
trade regulations so that foreign markets
might he had for the increasing output of
our industries He especially urged bet
ter trade regulations with Canada

ORGANIZE TO FIGHT.
Railroads Plan to Resist Rate Orders
of Railroad Commission.

Freight and passenger auditors of
nearly all the different railroads in
Kansas are meeting with the railroad
attorneys of the various lines at the
Copeland this afternoon for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon a general plan
of action to be pursued on behalf of
the railroads in fighting the rate orders
recently issued by the state board of
railroad commissioners in the grocery
case, the grain case, the coal case and
the salt case.
It is generally understood that the rail-
roads will unite in petitions similar to
those filed in the Hockaday hardware
case, and resist all of the rate orders is
sued by the board of railroad commits
sioners.
Most of the rate orders take effect
about January 90 and so there is not
much time before the railroads must
either put the rates into effect or start
their fight
The freight and passenger auditors of
the various roads are understood to be
caleld into the conference with the ss-
torneys SO that the necessary data for
incorporation into the petitions may be
secured

1.-THE State Journal certainly de-

enterprise" said Governor z. W. Hoch
today, in speaking Of the o'clock
extra edition issued Tuesday evening
containing a complete report of the
treasury investigation. "It certainly
was a stroke of enterprise to get that

did, and commend your energy
Many of the state officers were
commenting on the fast work done by
the State Journal in getting the long
report in the hands of the public only
two hours after it was made public
There also seems to be a general
disposition to be appalled, at the mass
of figures presented.
George w. Wheatley, one of the
railroad commissioners, said: Il
haven't found anybody yet who could
| understand that summary. I suppose
somebody does understand it, but ]
haven't found that person yet
State Accountant Gafford, who has

WEATHER STILL WARMER.
The Mercury Continues Its Upward
March today.

With the rising of the sun this morn
ing another semitrepical day was
ushered in, the mercury standing
higher in the tubes of the thermome-
ter sat z o'clock this morning than it
did at its highest point yesterday.
Last week the mercury hung about
35 as the maximum and this week it
has averaged from ten to fifteen de-
grees higher. At noon today the mer-
curry had reached the 4S mark and
every indication warrants the predic-
ton that the maximum for the day
will be several degrees higher. The
minimum for today is none degrees
higher than for yesterday while there
is difference in the same direction of
about the same number of degrees in
the maximum.
A good stiff breeze has been blow
ing from the northwest all morning at
the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and
at that the outdoor temperature is
oppressive and uncomfortable for any
one dressed as they should be for this
season of the year.
The forecast for tonight and Thurs
day promises partially cloudy weather
wit ha falling temperature, and the
| indications are that the falling tenn
perature portion of the prediction
means that there will be a big slump
i nthe weather conditions which have
prevailed during the greater portion
of the winter months so far.

ALMOST FIGHT.
In the Rooms of thc House Committee
on Territories.

Washington, Jan. 1L-For two hours
today the house committee on territories
and the delegation of the anti-joint
statehood league of Arizona, engaged in
a "sparring contest, which eliminated
in a personal clash between Representa-
tive Powers (Nde.1 and Delegate Smith
(ATiz) that concluded with an apology
by Smith. The break came while R. A.
Morrison, of Prescott. -ATiz., was ad-
dressing the committee. Chairman
Hamilton (Mich.) nad asked Mr. MoTri-
son many questions about inadequate
taxation of mines and railways in Ari-
zona, to which Mr.. Smith objected.
When Mr.. Powers began questioning
Mr.. Morrison as to the proportion Of
Mexican popufation in Arizona and in
New Mexico, RIr. Smith again objected.
Mr.. Powers resented the interruption
and exclaimed:
Il understand fully the sensitiveness
of this delegation concerning these ques-
tions. ] know whom they represent and
all about them
Il have seen enough of this and de-
nounce the charge as false Mr. Smith
retorted.
'fYou may fmpugne the motives of the
chairman, but when you impugne my
motives 7 shall resist" Mr.. Powers re-
piled emphatically.
Il shall ask all the questions 1 want
to-
The committee room was in an uproar
by this time and after Chairman Ham
ilton called order and asked the mem-
Der to be more calm, Mr.. Smith offered
an apology. saying that perhaps he was
mistaken but that Mr.. Powers ques-
tions struck him as though inspired by
partisanship and not designed by de-
sire for information.
On account of the frequent Interrupt
tiOn by members of the committee and
promptings and Interruptions by MEM
bers of the Arizona delegation, Mr. Nor
1ison was unable to make an extended
argument The feeling was so intense
and the hearing so unsatisfactory taht
the committee decide dthat at the hear
ing to be held tomorrow morning all
speakers shall be permitted to complete
their arguments before they are sub
ieeted to questions by members of the
