I: PLEASANT VIEW

The farmers of Pleasant View were
o'clock to fight a big prairie fire
which started from Bacal's straw pile
that had been set afire few days
before. AS the wind was blowing
so hard the fire soon got ahead of the
farmers and before it could be put
out caused a great deal Of damage.
1t Burned several barns; one for J.
R. Jones; one for Girls. Peterson and
both barn and a house for Fred
Burquist, together with his machin-
cry, grain and hay. It burned all
of Claud Neuman's and Conrad
Hilstorf's hay. After fighting it un-
til the early hours. of the morning
it was finally put out, but not until
it had burned strip two miles wide
and over twenty miles long. Nearly
all the losers were homesteaders
just starting out for themselves.
When Jess Ashlock was coming
home from fighting fire Friday morn
ing his team fell in an old we'll, but
with little help he managed to get
them out witout any serious dam
age.
Roy Granting, who has been laid
up with a broken leg, is able to walk
around on crutches.
Miss Sarah Carlson is back on her
claim after spending few weeks in
Wilton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jess Ashlock and
Mrs. Hans Christensen and children

We hear that if we want to keep
the mail route we had better take

sick, is much better at the present
writing.

homestead in Pleasant View.

when they see their parents and ell
ders approving such educators, or at
least tolerating them.
O. What does it do for the govern
ment?
A. 1t makes justice a mookerv If
proceeds to defy it and undo the work
of the magistrates by paying the fine
and thus preventing the punishment
which he inflicts. It makes lawmakers
who create monopolias and ruin the
producer and the laborer. 1t makes
officers who will not enforce the laws
made for the peoples protection.
0 thou blessed blind pig, as a part
of a community, we worship thee.
Worship is worth-ship, recogniz-
ing of the worth-pcwer of the object
worshipped, and prayer for it's hell.
What we, thy thralls, want, o most
potent blind pig, is thy help to get
business make money and get votes

and banked with flowers. And we
will cultivate window boxes, of all
simple means, the most effective in
garlanding your house. Here we
may plant our choicest flowers, our
particular pets, or the harder mas
turtiums and pansies, as we choose.
Beautiful things they are, and so
easily prepared, just box with
few holes and little gravel in the
bottom for drainage, filled with rich
earth and leaf mold. There is new

watering and most desirable
all ready for use.
Then to complete the pretty homes
we must have the help of the chill
dren, all the children of this whole
town. To them I wish to give the
complete charge of the back yards
and front ones, too, if they want
them. Let us play the Pied Piper
of Hamelin, trilling our flutes and
telling our stories of wonderful
things, if they will but listen-and
follow. We will offer them prizes
for the cleanest and prettiest back
yard, for the best vegetable garden,
| for all such as you may see fit, and
to their elders as well, for trim
yards, beautiful effects, the most ar
tistic porches or window boxes And
to children we will offer seeds to help
them with, and in turn the agricul-
tural college will help us with straw
berry cuttings for them at 1 cent
apiece, If we can enlist the support
of our county superintendent. What
better school can they have of
wholesome responsibility, patience
and regard for others? Corn con-
tests are being entered into with
great spirit and we can get seed corn

their moral standing? I believe it not.
Wherever tried, the opposite is found
to be the case.
O. Who does the blind pig help?
A. 1t helps the man who is too lazy
to do honest work and is determined
to live at other peoples cost, at least
until it helps him into loss and trou-
BILE, perhaps the prison or gallows. To
this extent it helps gamblers, pimps
and prostitutes, but there is not a
single good thing that it does for a
community. 1t makes men, physically
full grown, towards, who cry Can't
when asked to help stop the pig raw
ages.
@. What does it do for the rising
generation?
A. It puts before their eyes a con-
stant object lesson of vice and law
breaking, and, as Carlyle would say,
prepares them for a French revolution

UNIQUE. WAY OF BENEFITS DE-
RIVED FROM BLIND PIGS.

@. What is the most sacred thing
in a community?
A. The blind pig.
@. What does it do for the commu-
nifty?
A. It breeds other blind pigs, and
besides, makes 1awbreakers and pau
pers, and dead beats and towards and
liars and criminals. It produces drunk
ards and imbeciles and idiots.
@. What does it do for the mer-
chant and tradesman and artisan?
A. It helps him to bad debts that
swell his columns of loss, because of
lessened amount of trade because of
diminished products; it adds to the
amount of his taxes, money needed to
arrest, try and board criminals; it
may put a skeleton in every mans
own closet.
@. How does it help the farmer?
A. When champion of whisky was
triumphantly asking what the farmer
would do for market for his corn if
the sale of liquor was stopped, a level
headed old hayseed cried out, HE
would raise more hogs and less hell"

In the person of Thomas Campbell of

Charge That Decree Was OBJ
tanned by CoilusiOn and
Fraud

Allega tions of collusion and fraud are
made against NJ. c. Bassett. an attorney;
C. ]. Moseley, who died last June, and
Michael Farrell in a suit filed yester-
day by John Q. Greenwood as special
administrator of the estate of Frances
A. Moseley who was the wife of G. J.
Moseley, but died several years before
him. According TO the complaint Mose-
ley and his wife jointly owned prop
erty on Oak and Octavia streets worth
$4,000. On June 4, 1907, Moseley OBJ
tanned judgment quieting title and ad-
judging him sole owner of the realty.
Michael Farrell was at that time adj
ministrator of the estate of Mrs.
Frances A Moseley, and it is charged
that Hassett, who was employed by
him as attorney, and also, it is charged
secretly employed by c. j. Moseley, per-
suaded Farrell not to defend the suit,
although he had perfect defense.
The heirs of Frances A. Moseley dis
covered afterward what had been done,
and on October 2S. 1907, had Farrell
removed by the superior court of Napa
county from his administratorship, and
Greenwood substituted. The suit filed
yesterday is for the purpose of hav
ing the judgment decreeing Moseley
sole owner of the property set aside
on the ground that it was obtained by
the collusive and fraudulent acts of
Hassett, Farrell and c. j. Moseley. The
complaint was drawn by Attorney

Stocks did not appear tempting In
Bush street yesterday, and selling IN

the prices down all along the line. NO

older stocks is partly explained by the
desire OF the Bush street folk to trade
in the new mines.
The Tonopah group went down Few
points, but not seriously, though the
trading in the issues was light. Tono-
pah of Nevada stood at $3.50, II points
