Any man who should undertake to tell this age that Lincoln was no great shakes would have his trouble for nothing. People will not tolerate using an inverted telescope to study a man who turned a page in history not yet finished. With Washington the case is different. To the mass the Father of His Country is a god or he is nothing. Only the few have pa- tiently sifted myth and tradition and formed an idea of Washington the man. Those who have made the best of their opportunities to know the real Washington will not be disturb ed by the reverend gentleman who now says that the hero of the revo- lution and the founder of this gov ernment has been overestimated by his worshipers. Our educators. says this idol smssher. hold the first pres ident of the republic up as a model for emulation, forgetting that Washington's education was meager and incomplete" And the soldier. too. who makes a hero of the soldier who compelled the surrender of Lord Cornwallis overlooks the fact that the commander in chief never won a battle" Furthermore. Washington held slaves and inherited or married money instead of hustling for it. Well. nobody cares. for the matter of that. whether the farewell address was composed by the hero who deliv- cred it or got together by a secre- tary. It stands for washington's ut teranee. and what he said. not how he got to the point. is the thing As for his holding of slaves. the greatest of all virginians might have been in- dicted for turning loose upon the community the blacks who came 10 him by marriage or inheritance. Since wealth did not come to him by the practice Of high finance this gen eration will not quarrel with c. W. for being well to do. And the soldier reputation Of the leader who stood on 800. 900 well drilled and equipped European troops with barely 1000 ragged rebels" for seven years is moderately safe in the keeping of Frederick the Great. that prince of warriors. who greeted Washington as the greatest general of the see"

 An attempt is being made by the new combination of the Canadian Pa cific Railway Go and the Allan Steam ship Go to secure the contract for carrying the mails between the United States and Great Britain. The mails there now, are largely carried by the Cunard and White Star yes sells, both British lines.

 There is not a soul in New Britain who would object to the restoration of the third rail with proper safe guards, for protected it is infinitely preferable to steam traffic and its accompanying smoke nuisance. The protest against an unprotected third rail, however, stands. The logical successor of the-third rail is the over head trolley, if the Consolidated road could only be induced to see it. It is advancement, where the dinky en- zine is etrogression.-New Britain Herald.
 A very fast transatlantic passage was made by the Kaiser Wilhelm II of the North German line which reached New York yesterday. The ocean course was traversed in five days, seventeen hours and eighteen minutes, at an average hourly speed of 2S.12 knots, which is equal to 26.6 miles. On Sunday the total run was 591 miles, which is new one days record for a transatlantic steamer. When the big new turbine steamers of the Cunard line go into service next year we shall probably see an ocean speed of twenty-eight miles an hour attained.-Hartford Times.

WEDNESDAY, JULY IS, 1906.

The Winnipeg Commercial, a care full periodical, says that the wheat crop in the Canadian northwest this year will be about 97,000,000 bush els, which it estimates will sell at ,65 cents perbushel. The population is about S00,000, and the amount to be received from the wheat alone will be 63,000,000. Other Canadian esti- mates agree with that of the Winni- peg paper. All reports from that part of Canada are very encouraging as to the future, and nothing short of some disaster to the crops in general will check the flow of population in that direction.

better here than in western Kansas, as the
rainfall is much greater than there. on ac-
count of its close proximity to the noun

We have many springs on the prairies
and also very shallow wells from four to
twenty feet in depth for first vein and
and from forty to sixty feet in depth to
second vein or sheet water.
But, on the whole, Mr.. Hartzell believes
that crops will be raised without irrigation
there, better than in western Kansas. He
don't advise any one to leave a good bust
ness here to go there and locate; but if
you have the time and means, and are
looking for cheap lands and place where
you will have less asthma and bronchial
troubles, believe would as soon locate
here as any place have ever been.

to satisfy them.

Extract of a Letter Written by

We have just received very interesting
letter from our old friend, Seth, written
January 7th. He says: W. Il. Bruner and
myself reached this place. which is very
nearly the geographical center of the terri

when we landed here to find it enowin g

feet, and the next night the mercury regis
tered % degrees below zero; but this place
is 5000 feet above the sea level. The valley
in which this city is situated, is said to be
thirty miles wide and fifty miles long,
bordered by mountains, mostly covered
with timber. Some mining is done in
them, and they abound in wild game such
asdeer. bear, wildcats and wild turkey.
The land here was held by a Mexican

In Memory of William A. Clark,
Who Died at his Home,
January 7, 1906.

Yes, another has passed from us,
A man of noble heart:
Who was always kind and loving.
Willing, TOO, to do his part.
He was always good and patient,
Although falling for some time:
And If asked to go visiting
He would cheerfully decline.
Thinking that there was no other
Lihe his own good, happy home;
Where he'd love to sit and listen
To his wife's and children's tone.
Oh! how that dear wife'll miss thee,
AS she goes from room to room,
And will ever stop to listen,
For thy steps that will neer more come.
Yes, thy friends will also miss thee,
And thy sons and daughters dear,
But, God gave" Ollie can take thee
Is the thought and only cheer.
Thou hast many other relatives,
And host of numerous friends;
Who will ever miss thy presence,
And true and faithful friend.
Why his last days should be so painful
Is the thought that makes us sad:
But God knows best are the words
whispered
By the angels DER the land.

Do our duty, though alone,

There is more activity in Elbert right
now in building and all kinds of business
than there has been for years. Town
property and building lots are changing
hands almost daily and number of peo-
pie are making preparations to build as
soon as they can get the material and
workmen to do the work. The towns
prospects were never half so bright and
at the present rate of progress we will
have town of 800 people here in five
years. There is a constant demand for
houses to rent and some of our monied
men are missing a good Investment by
not building a few nice houses for this
purpose.
