couldn't see it that way, and so Gates put up a barbed wire mill of his own. His knowledge of the trade was an asset, and he soon became danger ous rival of Col Ellwood. The colonel brought an action for infringement of patent rights and a bitter fight was the result. But Gates hung right on Col. Ellwood finally had to make peace with him. The two became business partners and have been closely asso- ciated in big enterprises ever since.
 Other barbed wire mills began to spring up, and Gates saw that there would be a disastrous trade war if the rivals were not corralled. He went around the country buying them up and formed a barbed wire trust This was the nucleus of the $90, ,000, 900 American Steel & Wire company, now a part of the Steel corporation The first big Notation engineered by Gates was the Federal Steel, $100, ,000, 900 corporation. That was in September, 1898, at the beginning of the great steel boom following the Spanish American war. He followed that with the American Steel & Wire, with $90,- 000,OOO capital, four months later. The manner in which Gates and Ellwood brought out this company is character istic of the man. On telephone call from Pittsburg they jumped across Pennsylvania and bought a wire mill f sharon n land and bought $5,000,000 rolling mill, and the next day they were back in New York to close a deal for the purchase of another mill.

Rev. w. F. Davis.

The news of the death of Rev. w. f.
Davis, which occurred at his home IN
Saltillo last Saturday, the 9th inst,
came as a shock to his many friends
throughout the country. His last i'll
ness was of short duration. and very
few people outside of the community
in which he resided knew of it's serious
character. Deceased was SO years of
age When the summons came-69 long
and useful years, each one r%esplendent
with good and noble deeds emenating
from a heart full of the love of God.
Mr.. Dayis was a Missionary Baptist
by a long line of ancestry. He devoted
the best part of his life to the ministry
of that denomination, and was never
happier than when preaching of the
unsearchable riches of God to a lost
and dying people. He was well known
throughout this and adjoining counties,
and was highly honored and respected
wherever known. His was indeed a
good life, consecrated to God, to friends
and to duty. When the roll was called
by the Great Commander, all was well
with him, for
[s'Cold in the dust the persisted heart
may lie,
But that which warmed it once can
neve die"
So has death willed to the grave it's
heritage, the dust from whence the
flesh came, but left to those who knew
and loved this consecrated man of God
a heritage that is a priceless treasure
of golden memories.
Trustworthy and confidential as a
friend, ever faithful to any trust and
untiring in any service to which the
ties of friendship offered an opportuni-
ty, he was not lacking for friends
wherever he went. His home-life was
of the most sacrificial kind in its SER
vice, and in its devotion was perfect.
He was a bold and fearless soldier of
the cross, Jealous at all time in the
work of the ministry.
He leaves a devoted wife and nine
children to mourn his death, but their
loss is his eternal gain.
On Sunday, the 7th inst, his remains
were laid to rest in the Saltillo cemete-
ny with Masonic honors, Rev. Harris
conducting the funeral services, a large
number of friends and relatives being
present to witness the last sad rites.
To the bereaved we extend u UNI
feigned sympathy in this hour of deep
aff1iction.

Las Vegas, which therefore becomes the
wealthiest community, per capita, in
the United States.
This city of 10000 inhabitants owns
100000 acres, worth certainly $780,
600, and possibly as much as S3,000,000.
The land is being placed on the market
in tracts of $4,000 acres, and one block
must be sold before the next is opened.
The money is to be used as perma-
nent school fund. The proceeds from
the sale of the land will be invested
and the interest will be used for main
tenance of the public schools. The
schools will therefore become indepen-
dent of taxes and taxing authorities.
This is believed to be the only instance

saws that as a rule colonies wintered,

as much To ten pounds of graduated
sugar add one gallon boiling water,
and you have an ideal feed; or else
with hot water thin some ripe extract
ed honey. When the food Is taken up,
remove the feeder and fix the colony
for the winter In uniting weak colo

should be done after the fall flow of
honey. Make the union late in the
evening; smoke the colonies to be unit
