BRING COAL

About the best thing the Chamber OF
Commerce of this place can do to gain
the everlasting friendship of the people
of this community is to demand couple
of carloads of coal from the railroad
people. The fuel problem is getting to
be, or rather is, right now, a fierce one
There is no coal in the town at the pres
ent writing, and it is almost impossible
to get any kind of wood. Several car
loads of coal were ordered by people of
this community from Utah as long ago
as last August and none of has arrived
here yet. Owing to the early storms
last Fall and the continuation of the
stormy weather very little wood was
brought in from the hills. The situa-
ton now is that the people are burning
buckbrush, sagebrush, old ties, fence
posts, and boards, and numerous fami-
lies are actually suffering with the cold.
The shool teachers of this place threw
up their positions last week and the
children were sent home shivering with
the cold because nothing but green cot
tonwood could be obtained for fuel.
We do not see why the people of this
community are not as mnch entitled to
some consideration from the coal dealers
and the railroads as other freezing COM
munities in the State. Other camps are
getting coal, enough at least for their
immediate needs, and there is no reason
why we should not get enough to keep
business going if the right kind of a
demand is made for it. The Yerington
Chamber of Commerce is the proper
body to make the demand, and it should
get action on at once.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Various Matters from Various
Stand points.
THE NEW FEDERAL BUILDING.

THE NEW FEDERAL BUILDING.
The people of Burlington had an oppor-
tunity yesterday and last evening to see
the postoffice in operation in its quarters
in the new federal building and incident
ally to inspect that part of the structure
which the public will come into touch
with most intimately. The new edifice
is described in detail elsewhere, but we
desire in this connection to speak of the
pride and satisfaction which every resi-
dent of Burlington must feel in the con-
summation of this public improvement
1t is a credit to this community as well
as to the federal government and it will
be long time before this city is likely
to outgrow it.
Simple justice demands that this sub
ject be not laid aside without reference
to the part taken by Congressman D. j.
Foster in helping to secure suitable
public building for Burlington. Ever
since he entered upon the duties of his
present position he has devoted attention
to this subject, first securing an appro-
priation by the House and gaining the
cooperation of Senator Proctor in push
ing the bill through the upper branch of
Congress, then securing an additional ap-
preparation for a still better building
than was at first contemplated, and final
ly devoting large degree of time and
zeal to the perfection of the plans and
the carrying out of the same. While the
people of Burlington are INDUCING in
fluctuations over the occupancy of this
splendid structure, we should not forget
to give due credit to Congressman Fos-
ter.-Free Press.

A Little Wool Trust.

One of the subordinate oranges
down in Maine has evolved a practical
scheme for benefiting the farmers,
says an exchange. A Patron residing
at convenient place has been au-
thorized and furnished capital to buy
from its members the wool produced
by their fiocks and pay % cents per
pound in cash for the same. AS soon
as all the wool is in 1t will be turned
over to the wholesale wool buyer who
bids the most money for It. The extra
amount received viii then be divided
pro rata. Thus they will receive top
prices with no middleman's profit to
be deducted. the only expense being
the actual cost of labor for handling.

Initiative AND REFERENDUM.
Michigan Wants Direct Legislation,
but Other States Do Not.

The executive committee Of the Mich
igan state grange has issued circular
letter to members of the Order in that
state calling on them to support only
such candidates for the state constitu-
tional convention as will be In favor
of direct legislation. All candidates
are asked to reply to the following
question: Are you in favor of direct
legislation on the plan of the initiative
and referendum, and, If elected, will
you exert your best effort to incorpo-
rate its principles into the new consti-
tutionT'
1t is interesting to note how differ
emily this question of direct legislation
is regarded in the different grange
states. Michigan favOrs it. So does
Maine. So does Washington and Ore
gon. New York does not, and many
other states do not. Why should there
be any variance? If direct legislation
is good for one state, why not for an
other? Perhaps states having great
cities within their limits would better
not adopt 1t. This matter was dis
cussed at the national grange meeting
at Denver last year, and it is quite
likely to come up at the Hartford ses-
sion.

Gambetta Wilkes is black horse, 153
hands: bred by X. r. Terrell, Richmond,
Ky; foaled 1881; got by George Wilkes:
dam Jewell by ellis Vermont as above.
He was sold to G. and e. P. Cecil Dan
vile, KY, who still own him.
Red Wilkes, Alcantara Onward and
Gambetta Wilkes are the four most dis
tiDguished sons of George Wilkes. The
record of Wallace's year book for 1906,
gives to Red Wilkes l76 trotters and
PAGERS with records trotting 2:30 or
better, and pacing 2 :25; Onward has 1914
trotters and PAGERS with standard rec
ords; Alcantara 1861 and Gambetta
Wilkes 1e9. But Red Wilkes, Onward
and Alcantara are dead, so that it is
reasonably expected that Gambetta
Wilkes will finally lead all sons of
George Wilkes as a sire of standard
trotters and PAGERS.
Red Wilkes has close inbred Morgan
strain through his Cd dam, which was
by Red Jacket, son of Billy Root by
Sherman Morgan.
The Wilkes family stands at the head
in the line of trotting and pacing speed,
and, if we remember correctly, the list
of Onward is the largest of any horse.
Onward has two lines of Morgan blood
through grandson of Copperbottom, the
original of the name, bred by David
Blunt of Danville, VT, foaled 1909 and got
by the original Justin Morgan. Copper
bottom was taken with his dam to Boil
ton, p. O., in 1910, where Mr.. Blunt
settled permanently; was sold to Mr..
Jewett or Jowett and went to Kentucky
by the way of Montreal and Detroit in
1915.
Mr.. Wallace says that 'he was perhaps
the first of his type taken to the Blue
Grass region and left a race of very val
liable descendants going all gaits."

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Its Forty-first Annual Meeting to Be
Held In Hartford, Nov. 1922.

Its Forty-frst Annual Meeting to Be
Held In Hartford, Nov. 1922.
Great preparations are being made
by Connecticut Patrons for the coming
of the national grange to Hartford in
November. State Master Wood and
]. II. Hale, chairman of the executive
committee, and many others are busy
in making plans for the entertainment
OF the grange visitors, who are expect
ed to number anywhere from 5000 to
5000 during the ten days session of
the national body. Headquarters will
be at Hotel Garde, and the sessions
will be held In Fort Guard hall and in
representative hall at the capitol. The
half dozen hotels of Hartford will be
filled to their utmost. but it is said
that 500 private houses will be thrown
open to guests, so that every one may
find accommodation.
The chief matters of interest to come
before the session will be the biennial
election of officers and the discussion
of public questions In which the grange
finds particular interest, among which
that of the parcels post will perhaps
take precedence. The election of Off
GERS is likely to create more than usual
interest. 1t is conceded that National
Master Bachelor has "made good"
during the first term of Office, and he
will doubtless be given another term.
But there is likely to be lively con-
test for some of the other offices. The
dates for the meeting are Nov. 1922

THE AMERICAN HORSE

On request Messrs. G. E. and G. p.
Cecil have sent us brief history of the
following noted mares. all named Jewell
and all by ellis Vermont, son of Down.
ing's Vermont by Vermont Black Hawk:
"Jewell' dam the Salter mare) bred
by John Gill, of Garrard County, KY,
was likely the greatest show mare ever
owned in Kentucky, she was shown all
over Kentucky and taken to the great
st. Louis, Mo-, Fair and won each and
every purse she was ever shown for.
Jewell, This Jewell, is the dam of
Gambetta Wilkes 2:19i, and The King
2:29l, Count Wilkes and others.
We have owned the produce of three
mares named Jewell, each sired by QGills)
Vermont, and each have made quite
family, and still have descendants of
each mare.
Jewell, chestnut, mare 15i hands,
bred by DIR. Henry Yeiser, Danville, was
great show mare and was never beaten
in a show ring.
"Jewell', This "Jewell'' is the dam of
Lady Yeiser the dam of II, with standard
records. She foaled Lady Yeiser, when
she was five or six years old, and LADY
Yeiser" was her only foal. She was a
very fast mare and died the winter or
spring Lady Yeiser" was coming one
year old; also she was very handsome
mare and a great road mare and was
killed by very hard and long drive,
about seventy miles in winter or early
spring, from here to Lexington and re-
turn in one day, and most likely a great
number d other mixes at or near Lexing-
ton. Several young men were driving
her and she had trotted in about 1886 or
2 :3S before she foaled Lady Yeiser,"
and would have been trained had she
lived. We think she was only five years
old when she foaled Lady Yeiser."
"Jewell'', bay, 10 hands, 100 pounds,
bred by Jackson Davis, Danville, KY, is
the dam of Col Bradshaw 2:174, Juve-
nant $50, Miss Brewer and others,
and her daughters and granddaughter
have produced quite a number with fast
records. She, like the other two
"Jewells" was quite good and success
full show mare, but we have seen her
beaten; she was shown at the Fairs in
Kentucky for three to five years. AS
rule she was successful but met defeat
on some occasions"
