Obituary..

We are again called upon to record
the departure of another pioneer of
Baca county. One by one they are
passing away. Nothing brings to our
minds so forcibly the uncertainty of
life and the certainty of death as to
see our old neighbors being borne to
the silent tomb. A. A. Yowell was
born in Medicine county, Virginia,
June II, 1912, and died at Stonington,
Colorado, August Id, 1908, aged &c
years, l month and 26 days.
He was married to Miss Sallie
Thomas about &c years ago. To this
union was born nine children, four of
whom are living. They are: R. o.
Vowel, Mrs. G. R. Thompson, Mrs.
R. C. Woolly, and Mrs. R. c. Wiley.
There are six little grandchildren. Mrs.
Vowel died December 10. 1894. His
daughters kept house for him until
they were married and since his SON 8
marriage he has made his home with
him. He was the senior member of
the firm of Vowel & Son, proprietors
of the Ston!ngton store, pleasant
association of father and son in busi-
ness, and the home life has been
especially noticeable.
In his death the children lose kind
father and the community good
citizen. He was q good neighbor and
no one ever went to him for favor
and was turned away.
Mr.. Vowel entered the army when a
mere boy and served four years. He
moved his family to Baca county %
years ago and since that time this has
been his home. Mr.. Yowell made a
profession of religion but never joined
any denomination.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Mac Lean and Rev. Leckrone
at the home of his son Friday after
noon. The attendance was unusually
large. The body was laid to rest in the
Stonington cemetary to await the call
on the resurrection morn.

High School This Fall.

The first year of a high school course
will be given at the Springfield school
this year. 1t will be the first regular
high school work ever had in the
county. The need of an opportunity
for our boys and girls to continue their
education after graduating in the
eighth grade, without having to leave
the county, was recognized. Each year
we graduate from four to eight in the
eighth grade, but not all have oppor-
tunity to continue their studies in
higher grades because there have been
no opportunities heretofore to take the
studies in this county. To make it
possible to have first year high school
this year, subscriptions were taken,
and many responded literally.
Let those who are qualified and can
attend high school this year go to
Springfield. Tuition will be $3.50 per
month, oneahalf year tuition to be paid
in advance Those with an eighth
grade diploma, or grades from an ac
credited high school, will be admitted
without further examination. An
eighth grade examination will be given
by the County Superintendent, Thurs
day and Friday of next week to those
without grades, who wish to enter.
The course will be regular one
with two electives. Miss Marsh,
well known teacher of the county, has
been employed to toach. She has just
returned from summer school at the
State Normal in Greeley.

To KEEP PEACE
IN THE NORTH

BERLIN, April 24.-The North Sea
treaty signed here yesterday was made
public today 1t takes the form of a
joint declaration as follows:
The governments OF Germany, Den
mark, France, Great Britain, the Meth
erlands and Sweden, influenced by the
wish to strengthen the bonds of neigh
borly friendship between their states
and the treaty contributory toward
! universal peace, concur in the policy OF
the lands bordering on the north aim
ing at preserving the existing terri
torial status quo.
They declare, therefore, that they
are firmly resolved to maintain and
mutually respect the existing terri
torial rights of their states in these
regions.
If any circumstances whatever should
arise which in the opinion of one OF
the above mentioned governments
should threaten the existing territorial
status quo, the signatories of this dec
laration will confer with each other
in order to arrive at an understanding
through an agreement among them
selves upon such measures as they may
regard useful in the interest of pre-
serving the present status quo of theii
possessions. The present declaration
will be ratified as soon as possible an'
the ratifications will be exchanged II

BALL"
The game is on and the seasons

the Kamehamehas put in the wedge
and the Punahous and the st. Louis
boys widened the breach on Saturday
afternoon at the league grounds, dem
onstrating that they had not forgotten
the contour of the field and were still
ornaments to the game.
There were several hundred enthu-
siasts out to see the christening and
therell be more next time. The Ha-
waiian band was stationed aloft in
the grand stand and Berger came in
promptly between innings and sawed
off, whether or not in the middle of a
note, whenever the pitcher scratched
gravel.
The Diamond Heads in the initial
tussle marked up five to the three Of
the Rams and altogether it was a close
fought game. No one scored after the
fifth inning, the Kams, in fact, not re-
cording anything after the fourth
Lota was the Kams heavy boy and
hit a three-bagger, a two-baser and a
single out of four times to bat. Annoy,
the China pitcher, went to the well on
several occasions without being brok-
en- and proved himself worthy of the
respect of the Kamehameha batters
He pitched a generally good game.
The Diamond Heads made good in
the first, got three in the third and one
in the fifth. The Rams made two in
| the second and one in the fourth and
| put up a strenuous fight for more, but
| they could not overcome the lucky
third of the Diamonds.
In the second game the Puns shut
out the Saints. At the end of the sew
enth the score was one to nothing and
the Puns put in three in the eighth. 1t
was a stirring game and the eighth
was the extreme of the fun. Hoogs
struck out and McCorriston was killed
by third to first, and Henderson went
to first on Gleasons' error, w. Desha
walking. Hampton swatted for three
bags and scored Henderson and Desha
and Hampton came home on Bruins
triple Pretty business and wild eX-
| element. Hampton gave a splendid
exhibition in the box. Hoogs for the
Puns on second showed to advantage
and gives sure signs of speedily becom-
ing a star player,

OFFICIAL. PAPER
Of CANAL ZONE

The first number of the Canal Rec
ord" a newspaper omcially published
by the United States Government as a
record of events in connection with
the building of the Panama Canal,
reached here in the last mail directed
to District Attorney r. W. Breckons.
The progress of the canal is the sub
ject of the leading story and it tells OF
the fine work which is being done. In
the month of March nearly three and
half million cubic yards Of material
was excavated from the big ditch, of
which 100000 yards was handled by
steam shovels and the remainder by
dredgers The mean rainfall at the
eleven stations of the canal was SO in
ches.
An interesting feature of the paper
is the fact that there is not single
advertisement to be seen, though near
ly column is taken up with social
notes in which the doings of the An
| con Art Society, the Pedro Miguel Wo-
mems club, the Empire Woman's club
and the Ancon Woman's club, take
prominent place. Church and lost and
! found notices are also numerous.
There is an interesting article on bu-
bonic plague, telling of the measures
being taken to prevent the importation
of the disease from San Francisco and
Guayaquil. One of the regulations
prohibits the bringing in from an in
fected port of anything which may
serve as food for rats-rice, potatoes,
grain, ETC., or in which rats may nave
harbored, such as hides, etc"
The official character of the paper is
shown on the first page, where, at the
head with the name of the paper in
bold type appears the official seal of the
Canal zone, Isthmus of Panama. The
seal shows a full-rigged ship under
full sail passing through a canal with
mountains on each side and bears the
motto, THE land divided-The world
united"

Yesterday was an unlucly day for
the Chinese teams in the Riverside
League games played at Aala Park,
and both teams lost The first game
between the japanese A. c. and tn
Chinese A. c. was a walkover for the
former team, they winning by the
score of 11-3. In the second game be-
tween the Alohas and the Kaalas it
took eleven innings to decide, but the
Kaalas nosed out and won by the close
score of 1919.
John Lo, who was in the box for the
Athletics, did not pitch as well as
usual, and the sons of Nippon seemed
to hit him at will. English, who pitch
ed for the Alohas, did very well, and
if he had had better support his team
would have won.

BOYS BAD MISTAKE

EtMIRA, N. Y, April 24.-Con-
gresham j. Sloat Fassett says that
a message he sent to Senator CASH
dy in Albany from the Washington
ONCE of the Western Union telegraph
company, urging the senator to vote
fer the anti-racing bills, was changed
in transmission by the boy operator
in the capitol at Washington so as to
give the impression that Congress
man Fassett desired the senator not
to lend his support to Governor
Hughes measures. The simple inser-
ton of the word mot" in this mes
sage is declared to have caused the
legislatures failure to pass the bills,
as their fate hung on one vote
Congressman Fassett did not know
until he met Senator Cassidy at the
state convention in New York that
the telegram had been falsified. The
reason Fassett did not make a state
ment before this, he says, is because
he considered it Senator Cassidy's
affair and not his own. Cassidy de
clares he will vote for the Agnew
Hart bills at the extra session called
| for May IL.
