my share OF the profits, received a

Why He Hesitated.

When the matter of securing cold
storage accommodations from the Titan
company came up. | was manager of the
Elgin company. but as there were two
new men in the concern l felt some hes
itancy about going ahead with the cold
storage arrangements until l had con-
suited them. 1t was on May 20 that the
manager of the Utah company's cold
storage warehouse asked me what space
/ desired 10 secure. / told him that !
would give my answer when | had con-
suited with Messrs. Peterson and Rob
ison. At the time the Elgin company had
loco pounds of butter stored at the Utah
warehouse. On the following morning
May p, ! received a note from the man
ager of the Utah company in which I
was informed that all of the available
space had been disposed Of / at once
wrote a letter of protest copies of which
are in the possession of both the Elgin
company and the Utah Ice & Cold StOT
age company.
AT that time | had no thought of ever
becoming connected with the Jensen COM
pany. II was not until nearly two weeks
later that / received the offer to become
interested in the new concern.

EIsin Stock for Sale.

But owing to this undeserved attack
! viii say that my stock in the Elgin
company is for sale. ! think Messrs. Pc
terson and Robson lack the experience
10 appreciate what / accomplished for the
Elgin company. When | took charge of
the concern il was in debt S34 000. with
assets amounting To only 5000 When l
resigned, the company did not owe a cent
and had a substantial surplus.
Il became interested in the Jensen
company after leaving the Elgin because
/ thought il a fine opportunity Both
Mr.. Jensen and Mr.. Henningsen have met
with great success in other fields. Mr..
Jensen in Kansas and Mr.. Henningsen
IN Montana. They understand the cream
cry business thoroughly and there is no
doubt of their success here.
Their entering the field in Utah Is a
direct advantage to the farmers and
dairyman of the state. They are now
paying p cents for butter. At this time
last year. while manager of the Elgin
company l paid Il, Is and 10 cents n
pound and was compelled TO store 10000
pounds Of butter. This new concern can
find a ready market for all the butter
produced here

NEW EVIDENCE
IN LAND CASES
Government Attorney Pre-.
SentS Forms of Orders
Given Employees.

Former Assistant Commissioner Of the
Land ONCE John II. Fimple was the
hrst witness called at this mornir g's
session OF Criminal Court, No. !, TO
testify in the trial OF John A Benton,
JooSt Schneider, Frederick HYDE and
Frank A. Dimond, charged with Illegally
securing public lands through fraud.
Before continuing the taking Of testi-
only one TO testify yesterday, Assistant
Attorney General Pugh presented a
score or more printed forms Of orders
governing the conduct Of employees in
the General Land Office.
These orders relate to methods of Uro-
cedure IN accepting applications for
tracts Of forest lands and specifically
state that employees shall maintain alb
solute secrecy concerning the names OF
individuals making application and HE
time such papers are filed. They also
contain even more stringent rules, re-
curing the greatest secrecy to be OBJ
served n the event that investigations
are to be made by the Government re-
garding rights Of title which may be
questioned
In view of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. which. have been applied for
by Attorney Campbell. counsel for
Benson, Mr.. Campbell objected to the
entering Of such papers as evidence.
Besides this reason. he also objected TO
incompetent" Justice Stafford over
ruled the objection. and an exception
was noted
Mr.. Fimple then was called and asked
concerning the system in vogue at the
General Land Office IN regard 10 the
subjects treated in the printed rules
which We're offered as evidence by Mr.
Pugh. Mr.. Fimple declared that such
printed forms were distributed among
the clerks in the different departments,
and that each was supposed 20 be fami-
liar with the contents. Upon crOss-ex-
animation. he admitted that perhaps
one or two clerks might be ignorant OF
the existence Of such rules.

clared himself candidate for tax as
sessor-Breckenridge Democrat.

The Waco Times-Herald will have
nothing to do with the idea of COM
pulsory education. 1t does not be-
lieve in substituting the idea of chill
dren obeying the state instead of adj
herring to the motto Children obey
your parents That is nice sound
ing phrase, and the position of the
Times-Herald would be admirable if
all parents were worthy to be parents
children at heart. But unfortunately
such is not true, and the condition
should be handled as it really is and
not from an ideal, or what we wish
it was, standpoint. 1t is a fact right
here in Texas that thousands of chill
dren are being deprived of their school
opportunities because the parents are
either ignorant and Indifferent to the
value of education, or because they
are so contemptibly selfish that they
put their children to work like work
stock with no thought of their needs
for the future We hear a great deal
said about SO many children being I'M
able to buy the necessary books to
attend school, This, unfortunately,
may be true in many instances, but
where one child is out of school on
this account dozen stay away be-
cause the parents want to make money
and Indifferent to appreciate the
value of good schools. The state
should take the child out of such con-
ditions and guarantee it a good educa-
ton. Sometimes it is as needful that
parents obey as that children do.
