Railroad Commissioner Williams
last week telephoned to Secretary
Clark Perkins of the commission from
Sargent that a large shipment of cat
tie was received there. on which there
was due $1,000 freight which the con.
signee was unable to pay In cash be-
cause of the recent decision Of the
banks not to pay currency except in
small amounts. The cattle were UNI
loaded at Sargent In the railroad
yards. and as feed Is scarce. there is
likely to be considerable amount OF
liability TO some one.

Pollard Preparing for Terminal Tia

Pollard Preparing for Terminal Tax.
r. ID. Pollard, tax commissioners OF
the Burlington, accompanied by his
son and assistant, Frank Pollard,
called on Secretary Bennett of the
state board of assessment to talk over
the forms to be used in assessing the
property of railroads located In towns
and villages under the provisions OF
the terminal tax law enacted by the
recent legislature. While the new law
will occasion much work, especially
for the engineering department, Mr..
Pollard said in his department he
probably would need no extra help.
Mr.. Pollard has already had expert
ence with the South Dakota terminal
tax law, and he said while the asses
sors placed the value of the property
plenty high, he did not know what in
crease would be made in the amount
of taxes, because the levies had not
yet been made. In Kansas tax COM
mission has been created which has
full charge of the matter. and the rail-
! roads are yet to test this method In
that state. Heretofore the local prop
erty has been assessed by state
board there, and returned to the city
or village in which the property Is To-
Gated.

4 Splendid Lecture Course for lm-
 perial Valley

The program committee of the Ministerial Union signed a contract with the Midland Lyceum Bureau for a splendid line of talent for the lecture and entertainment course next season. The first number will be given about November 1 st In each of the six towns of the valley. The course consists of the following we'll known talent: Hon. ]. C. Camp, the famous southern lec- turer; ]. Lorenzo Zwlckey, art lecturer whose art and humor combined have charmed and delighted many an audi ence in the largest cities.
 The Garten- Howe entertainers, com binlng music. reading and entertain ment of varied interest; three people in the company. The Wilbur Starr Con- cert Go. of five people; the famous Midland jubilee singers In their original plantation songs and last of all MT Thomas McClary. who has ho peer on the lecture platform to-day. Mir. Mc- Clary will appear In three towns only; all the others will appear in the six principal towns of the valley The cit izens in each town are coming up roy ally to the support of the Ministerial Union In financing the course and the Union rejoices in being able to prove much better course for the money pledged than was at first hoped for. Surely everyone who buys season ticket will get far more than the worth of his money and the whole valley will be the better off for having brought so excellent line of talent to Its people.

Our Mother

From our quiet pretty home place, We miss a dear and lovely face, Seek where we will we'll never find Another half SO true and kind. In the churchyard we laid her low, Beneath the sunbeams ruddy glow, With breaking hearts we left her there, To our Gods ever watchful care. Her dear place no one else can fill, And we are sad and lonely still, Since our dear mother weht away, And we all miss her more each day. There is her chair left empty now, While we our aching heads must bow And plead with God so true and kind, To save the ones she left behind. Though Gods ways may not be our ways Through all the long and weary days, We fully hope and ever trust, As all good christians ever must. In God we wholly do believe, Yet there seems much to make us grieve We see about us everywhere, Some token of our mothers care. In Heaven we've treasure dear, While we are sad and lonely here, All the world seems so drear and lone, Since we've no mother of our own. We often see sweet mother love, And our hearts ache for her above, When some dear happy home we see And think of all that ours might be. As from round our lonely fireside. We miss ouF mother who has died, Hearts sorely aching, heads bent low, We think of now and long ago. Let's always try to faithful be And strive again her face to see, In that dear home made free from sin, Where no more sorrow can break Tn.

We are in receipt of the following from a Kansas subscriber.

 Sir: would like to hear or read in the Press about that Salton sea and how soon Is the steapage water going to drown out your town of Fl Centro. All l am taking your Press flor Is to read about the Saltcn sea and l have not seen single word about the said sea in months.
 While wishing to accommodate all subscribers to the Press we are unable to state that the Salton sea or It's "steapage water" will ever drown out our town. In fact, so thoroughly have the engineers controlled the Colorado that we very much doubt if the Salton sea will gather any further water from that source. Further as government estimates base the evaporation at a quarter of an inch every 24 hours. in time the said sea viii again be bar ren sink.
