"wAooSEvELI just shot another
railroad presidentf is the
stock joke now m vogue In
Washington In explanation
of any loud or unusual noise. Accord
ing to some representatives OF the rail-
roads, the presidents policy of railroad
supervision has caused jar or shock
or earthquake In Wall street, and some
prophecies have been made that the
country would go to the demnition
bowwows IL this policy were continued.
One of the railroad presidents who
do not take stock in this view Is B.
f. Yoakum. who occupies in the rail
road world a position scarcely second
in influence to that of e. III. Hartman
or James j. Hill. 1t was Yoakum who
startled the public a short time ago.
after call on Mr.. Roosevelt, by de-
elaring himself in favor of a policy OF
federal supervision more advanced
than anything the president himself
has yet publicly advocated. The rail
road situation is engaging the thought
OF statesmen and business men In an
..lmost unprecedented manner because
it is felt that past conditions cannot
continue to exist and that uncertainty
and unrest In financial circles will re
main until the air Is cleared by the
adoption of some programme which
viii insure confidence in the stability
Of values. Mr.. Yoakum takes the posi-
ton that it would be much better for
the railroad men to submit to rigid
regulation by the federal government
than be harassed by conflicting and
sometimes hostile legislation ON the
part of the various states. Mr.. Yoa-
kun has ideas as to how this super
vision may be brought about with ad.
vantage to both the railroads and the
public. and 1t Is understood that In his
various visits to the White House there
have been frank discussions on the sub.
ject between him and President Roose

Though Mr.. YoakuIn has not been SC
much In the public eye as Il. H. Harri
man and J. ]. Hill, he controls more
railroad mileage than either Of them
and Is an empire builder of the first
rank, for he not only builds railroads

OTlSln OF Two afnllldr Proverbs.
1t was the habit of the great Greek
painter Apelles never to let day pass,
however busy he CHANGED to be, with
out practicing his hand by tracing the
outline Of some object, a custom which
has now passed into Il proverb-"No
day without a line" He also made il
Il rule. when he had finished Il canvas,
to exhibit it to the view of those who
visited his studio, while he himself,
hidden behind the picture, would listen
to their comments. 1t Is said that once
a shoemaker censurcd him for having
painted pair of shoes with one latchct
too few. Next day the shoemaker, re-
visiting the studio, saw that the paint
err had corrected the mistake He then
began to criticise the leg of the por-
trait upon which ApelleS came for
ward and reminded him that n shoe
maker should not go beyond the shoes,
piece of advice which has also cryS-
tallZcd into a prOverb, Let the cob
bier stick to his last."-Pliny the Elder

The general impression that Iceland
is n cold country is false one, says a
writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk-
day perched myself on one of the lava
walls and looked at a scene of summer
warmth and beauty. Familiar cows
and eats and hens We're busy in the
sunshine. Children, thinly clad We're
playing about with shouts of mcrri-
mcnt. Potatoes We're in full blossom,
and cabbage and various vegetables
added to the sense of homelike comfort.
But such days are GASES in vast deserts
Of rain, for if Iceland in summer is
not cold it is not comfortable.

Wafer Works and lee Plant for Welsh

The Citizens Ice Plant IL Water
Works Co. is the latest industrial
organization of this place. The new
company, which is to he capitalized
at 1926, 900, has its charter drawn up
and sufficient stock subscribed to
warrant its incorporation. This COM
dany is being promoted and the stock
subscribed by citizens Of Welsh aud
vicinity, so that it will be strictly a
home institution. The exact location
of the plant has not been definitely
decided yet, but it is expected that it
will be located in the central part of
town. There is no apparent reason
why such plant properly managed
should not pay fair dividend to its
owners and be of great advantage to
the town. There is nothing this
town needs more than an adequate
system of waterworks, which would
furnish a reasonable protectio n
against fire and lower the rate of in
surance, which in some localities is
now almost prohibitive.

Prospects Of GuSher in Welsh Field.

Considerable excitement mas been
aroused in oil circles by the finding
of what is believed to be an excellent
stratum of oil sand at depth OF
about 1000 feet, in the old Company
we'll, which is being sunk deeper by
C.. E, Smith of Port Arthur, Texas.
Mr. Smith who is one of the pioneer
oil men of this section, has unbound
ed faith in the Welsh field Last
winter he leased three and one-half
acre tract from the Welsh Oil and
Land Development Co. and began
drilling deeper, one of the old Com.
pany wells, which had failed to make
good at the depth to which it had
been sunk. 1t is in this we'll that a
stratum of what is believed to be a
fine oil bearing sand, was reached.
few days ago. Jas. Bowen, the
driller, Immediately wired Mr.. Smith
who was in Kansas City, of the find.
They are now setting the screen and
preparing to test the well. Both the
sand and ell in this stratum has a
different appearance from that found
in the shallow wells of the field and it
is the opinion of oil we'll men here
that the new we'll has gone below the
seepage oil strata which have been
penetrated heretofore, and entered a
different stratum, which it is thought
may be the basin or pool which is be-
lieved to underlav the Welsh field.

A Plea for Curfew Restrictions.

There is no doubt but that a large
per cent of the degrad alton, disgrace
ruin and crime among the young,
spring from the habit of night prowl-
ing, corner loafing and kindred acts
in city, town and hamlet all over this
broad country. ANY person who keeps
his or her eyes open knows this. Hun
dreds of boys are out at night, aud
we all know that many influences for
evil and none for good surround them
continually. Acurfew restrictSOn may
be derided as old-fashionedsand Puri-
tanical, but the fact remains that there
is vastly less night prowling in towns
that have curfew ordinance and en-
force it. Bishop Enterprise.
The above is true in every particu-
lar, and strictly enforced curfew law
would be of incalculable value in this
town, where person can go out on
our streets at any time from dark un-
til long after midnight and find gangs
of BOYS and occasionally girls, prowl-
ing around town when they should be
home and abed. AS result of this
there is being developed class of
young loafers and criminals, to handle
whom will be a problem solved only
by the strong arm of the law, in a
very few years. That these are facts
and not fiction will be resdily recog-
nized if we stop but moment to con-
slider the course that many of these
boys are pursuing, and the mile
stones they have passed on the Grim
inal path. Let all lovers of law and
order and the welfare of the boys OF
our town, work for a curfew law.

We are only burning about One-halt
our rice hulls and with our new pro.
cess no hulls are put in the bran.
! We propose to erect storage for
chatf near the ice plant, and as the
ice and light plant would consume
about one-half the fuel the mill con-
Sumes, we make fuel enough for both
plants. Thus, with fuel that costs
nothing, we can make cheap ice.
Now if one ice plant can not be
made to pay, while it is true two
would make cheap ice, it will simply
mean a sacrifice to everyone con-
rcerned.
1t was a disappointment to US to
have to advance the price of ice, but
we feel that we were directly respon-
sible for the town having ice the past
two years at fifty cents, as all know
we formerly paid seventy cents, when
we could get ice, as when we have to
depend on shippers-in from other
towns, one is frequently out of ice, no
matter how hard they try to keep it on
hand.
Now, if the people, generally, or
any set of men would like to control
the ice trade, we will consider any
reasonable proposition for our plant.
We put the plant in in good faith
to do what we could to advance the
best interests of the town and our
selves, and while we regret that we
have not been able to give better serv-
ice, we have tried and will continue
to try until we give the public good
service at the right price.
