Promotion of
 Wallace Larson
 Wallace Larson, who IS well and favOrably known by every one in this locality and who has served an apprenticeship of sev- eral months with the Santa Fe Company III various depart ments, has accepted a position as night operator for that com pany at this place.
 Mir. Larson Is to be cOngratu- lated on his well deserved pro- motion from an apprentice to tEe responsible position of teleg- rapher in the train service.
 Steady and persistent effort to master a chosen craft and an ac- tive desire to faithfully discharge duties that were assigned him was the secret of success in his case. It's a combination that will win nine times out of ten.

DEDICATE HOME
FOR OLD FOLKS
James PenneWiII Makes
Interesting Address at
Dover Ceremonies

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Oct. 1.-The Palmer Home
for Old Folks, the only charitable institu-
tion in Dover, was formally dedicated yes
terday. The exercises followed a meeting
and luncheon Of the Board Of Directors.
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Anderson presided.
The exercises We're distinguished by an
exceptionally fine musical service by the
united choirs of Dover Besides an address
by Judge Pennewin. there were speeches
by Arley b. Magee and William T.
Smithers.
The home was built for the Kings
Daughters Of Dover and elsewhere. For
every dollar raised by the Kings Daught-
ers and their building committee, to build
and equip the home, another dollar was
contributed by General William H. Pal
mer. the Colorado Springs millionaire
miner and philanthropist, who was him
self born near Dover, and is himself now
among the aged.
/ Judge Pennewill in his dedication speech
said: II know that we are called upon in
this day to listen to the cry that our whole
/ country is being debauched by corruption
and greed. That they exist can neither be
denied nor excused.
But the foundation and dedication of
such institutions as this, where men and
women whose fortunes have fled. finding
themselves in the eventime Of life, may
come and find a haven of rest is to my
mind a clear indication that Righteousness
and sympathy and love for our fellow man
still obtain. And I am prepared to deny,
to-day, the declaration that the world is
growing worse and that a sordid desire to
advance selfish ambition has crowded ou;
everything else Of the essentials of good
citizenship and the qualifications of q
4 neighbor.
I'VE never saw a better era in the af.
fairs of mankind than this. Our country
never stood so eminent in the love ant
esteem and ambitions of her people. Ant
to-day we are assembled. just as our fel.
low countrymen are doing all over thii
broad land. to open a new door, to pre-
j sent new tribute Of mans humanity tc

Grief is now in store for future res
ervation farmers through an order
that has Just been issued requiring
that henceforth all lessees must agree
to live upon the land which they rent.
The new ruling has just been re-
ceived at the Umatilla agency and
yesterday afternoon Agent McFat-
ridge made the same known while in
the city. Under the new ruling the
present lessees who do not live on
their lands will not be disturbed, but
henceforth the matter of residence
will be one of the things insisted upon
by the government before a lease will
be approved. Just what the particu-
lar requirements as to residence will
be has not yet been made known.
1t is understood locally that the new
ruling was adopted upon the recon-
mendation of Special Inspector Davis,
who was here last spring. At that
time Mr.. Davis announced that con-
ditions would have to change and that
the "camp" and the foreman" would
have to go.
In numerous instances people have
Indian lands leased and leave the
cultivation of the same with employees
or partners. 1t now appears that in
the future all renters will have to bind
themselves TO actually live upon the
land they lease.

for the railroad, asked that Traffic
Manager Luce be sworn to testify In
regard to granting special rates to
shippers.
I'VE extend Luce a cordial invita-
ton to testify, but can't let him be
sworn, as this action would give the
company the privilege of claiming
immunity from punishment l may
say facts have been secured here that
may warrant the department of JUS
tice in taking action" said Lane.
Lane and the attorneys will leave
for Washington at once to turn the
evidence over TO the attorney general
and 1t is believed indictments against
the railroad on several hundred
counts will follow.

pany, testified this morning that his
company received special rates from

get them? ?" inquired Lane. II go per-
sonally to Mr.. Luce and tell him we
must have concessions to meet compe-
tition. He generally gives it to u.s."
The inquiry then closed today.
