THE CITY FIREMEN.


Annapolis, Md, Jan. 80, 1907.
Dear Editor of Evening Capital.
We don't get far away from home
during this cold weather, but we try
and keep ourselves posted on the do
ings of those that are in control
through the columns of your valuable
paper. During the last session of the
State Legislature | had the honor of
being member of the House of Del
egates, and towards the last days OF
the session the appropriation bill came
up and among other items, there
was six hundred dollars in that bill
fog the firemen of our city. The bill
did not look clean to me. / left my
seat in the House with some gentlemen
and went over in the Senate and had q
talk with Senator Gadd, the Senator
FROM Anne Arundel county, and he
assured me and the other gentlemen
that were with me, that the money
was to be divided among the three
fire companies of our city, the same
as always has been done. These
men, without the hope of fee or re-
ward, leave their homes in the dead
hour of the night in winters cold
or summers heat, to protect homes,
taking their lives i'm their own hands
W pIOtttA our MONIES. Tor nOlnInZ put
to receive the condemnation of some
few.
/ contend that The city Council has
nothing 10 do with this money but to
divide ii equally among the three fire
companies during the year that the
legislature is not in session. These
men expend some of their money that
they expect from the State so as to
make their rooms at the firemen' head
quarters attractive, where they spend
all of their spare time, so as to be on
hand at any time during the day or
night. Now, at this late day. a
bright light comes out of the north
and tells them that they cannot get
only one-fourth of the money they
have been receiving heretofore. /
hope the City Council will reconsider
this matter, and give TO the firemen
that which belongs to them. Their
past reward proves what they are
worth To our city.
Respectfully yours,
adv. JAMES III. MURDOCH.

THE LIGHTHOUSE AND ITS KEEPER.


Far away from Shelfering shore,
In the midst OF oceans roar,
stands the lighthouse with its shin
ing beacon light.
With foundations on the rocks
Ii withstands the ocean shocks.
Warning seamen If the dangers Of
the night.
And when fogs Ger ocean roll.
How the sad voiced bell doth toll;
As the keeper stands on duty might
and day:
sending out his warning kneil.
From the doleful sounding bell
Till the all enshrouding mists have
rolled away.
When the tempest RACES wild.
Waves in mad confusion piled,
And the lightnings round the light
house tower play,
Then the pillows, sweeping DER,
Fall again with sullen roar
Like unto lion cheated Of its prey.
oh, the lighthouse keeper, hale.
Stands to duty, calm or gale,
Though denied ASSOCIATIONS of hi
kind;
Then all honor TO his name,
Though il be unknown to fame,
Hes a hero il hero You can find

Show It To Newcomers.

A part of the fruit, grain and vege-
table exhibit at the Delta County Fair
has been placed in the Herrick building
and is in charge of Percy Coombe, sec
retary of the Delta Business Mems
Assn. 1t is an interesting display and
is especially pleasing to strangers who
are here to look at the country. We
suggest that citizens take pains to see
that the attention of newcomers is
called to this exhibit. 1t will please
them and give them better idea of
what the country is capable of produc-
ing.
We also suggest that farmers and
fruit growers take an interest in keep
ing up the exhibit. Bring in some of
your best apples and other products
from time to time. By maintaining the
exhibit for two months during the fall
it will do much to advertise and attract
attention to the country.

Especial Correspondence


The nights are getting cool, showing
that fall is coming.
B. F. Doughty attended the meeting
at the Coalby school house last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. States were in
Delta couple of days the forepart of
the week having some dental work done
for Mrs. States.
Mr.. Lane, who bought the McGraw
ranch has commenced working in the
mine, as has also Mr.. Webber, an ex-
perienced coal miner.
Visitors to these parts will think
something has been done at the mine
when they see the big improvements
going on and the number of teams
hauling coal.
DR.. States and wife returned from
their visit at Boulder and Denver Tues
day, the 18th, and made his parents a
visit until Monday the oath, when they
went to Delta and took the train for
Franklin, Idaho, their home.
e. -h sSiSs WIN AoCo W lNC Iii SSO-
aredge, has been trying to hold meet
ings at the Coalby school house for over
week with very small attendance.
Your correspondent was there last
Sunday and listened to very interest
ing gospel sermon that many could
have been benefited by coming out to
hear.
1t was reported that our bachelor
friend was up on the mesa last week
looking around to see what the prospect
was for getting logs for saving into
lumber. Wonder what use our friend
has for more house room? Possibly he
may think that there being so many
coming to work in the mine. he may
secure few boarders.
Our friend Watson is still walking
pretty high and says he did the best of
any one in these parts in getting prizes
at our County fair. He being rather a
tenderfoot, shows that it was the fact
crops of any one. Watch out for him
after he has been here few years and
has learned how to irrigate.
A number from our nook attended
the b. F. Ross auction sale and were
glad to see the things go at such good
figure. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross have friends
all through these parts who wish them
well in their field of labor. Your cor
respondent hears many expressions of
regret at their departure. and hope that
in time they may be returned to take
charge of the church once more.

Deer Season Opens Oct. I.

F. P. Addleman. chief game warden
for Delta county, requests the lNDE-
PENDENT to make special announcement
of the fact that the deer season does
not open until Oct. l and closes Oct 20.
Some licenses were issued prior to the
last legislature making change in the
law and these carry the opening date
as Sept. 25. They have been the cause
of some misunderstanding, but Mr.. Ad-
dleman says all violations of the law
due to killing deer prior to Oct. will
be prosecuted.

TarkOff Case Settled.

The sensational divorce suit of Isaac
Tarkotf, the prominent Montrose mer-
chant against his wife has been settled
out of court and several influential and
atfluential men who were named as CO.
respondents in the action are conse-
quently saved from scandalous hear
ing in court. Tarkof made sensational
charges against his wife and the trial
was to have taken place next week.
To-day, however, they settled the mat
ter. Mrs. Tarkotf gets 600 in cash,
a division of property to the same value
and the custody of the youngest daugh-
ter Tarkotf gets the two other daugh-
ters and son.

Raise Their Own Seed.

b. NJ. Picker & Son, who have made
a marked success as farmers at Olathe,
particularly in the production Of pota-
toes and other vegetables and who were
winners of long list of premiums at
the state fair, attribute considerable of
their success to the fact that they grow
the seed. AT the Montrose fair Mr..
Picker was showing the writer an ex-
hibit of matured corn which he has
been producing several years and which
when he first commenced to grow it.,
matured 80 days later than it does now.
Mr.. Picker won large number of
premiums on potatoes at the state fair
and his success with potatoes and other
vegetables he attributes in large
measure to growing his own seed, thus
securing seed that is adapted to the
climate and season of this country.
There is undoubtedly valuable point
in this suggestion to the thrifty farmer.
