This Is Life

A little work, little sweating, a
few brief. flving years; a little joy, a
little fretting, some smiles and then
some tears; little resting in the
shadow, a struggle to the height, a
futile seach for Eldorado and then
we say good night. Some moiling
in the strife and clangor. some years
in doubt and debt, some words we
spoke in foolish anger; that we
would fain forget; some CHEEKY
words we said unthinking that made
a sad heart light; the banquet with
its feast and drinking-and then we
say goodnight. Some questioning
of creeds and theories and judge
ment of the dead. while God, who
never sleeps or wearies, is Watching
overhead; some little laughing and
some signing; some sorrow, some
delight, little music for the dying,
and then we say goodnight - -Ex

ATHLETES SHOW
GOOD MATERIAL
Upper Class Men Win Track
Meet, Points AZ to IS

Although Saturday was bad day,
and no crowd could be expected,
Coach Woodward had his two teams
out for good work out.
Owing to the smallness of the
crowd and bad track no good time
was made.
The 100 yd. dash was the first
event, taken by Saltmarsh, Erb 2nd,
and Greeves 3rd.
The high jump followed, taken by
Thomas and Erb, who tied at ft 10
in, with Miller a close 3rd.
The pole vault taken by Beasom.
Saltmarsh End, and w. d. Johnson
3rd.
The relay race was won by the

And the town team had the
coach too"
Carroll took the shot put with
Bard close End, and Beasom 3rd,
The hammer throw taken by Bard
with Erb End.
Saltmarsh took the 220 yd dash.
with Erb a very close End and Ever
hard 3rd. This was the closest race

finished in fine condition, Carroll End
and Rudd 3rd.
Broad jump was taken by Erb,
Saltmarsh End, Greeves 3rd.
440 yd dash taken by Saltmarsh,

SIX AMENDMENTS
BEFORE VOTERS
People To Vote On Local County
Option Again In Two
Years

Besides the county option ques.
tion, which will be brought before
the voters at the next election under
the provisions of the initiative, there
are SIX constitutional amendments
proposed by the last Legislature.
Thev are as follows.
The revenue amendment as pre-
sented this time leaves the question
of limitation of tax levy, at just
where it has been ever since the
adoption of the constitution. 1t
adds to the power of the state the
right of tax inheritances, tax in.
comes and tax franchises and licen-
ces.
The second amendment proposes
to place it within the power of the
legislature to fix the salary of the
attorney general,
The third is the equal suffrage
amendment. which submits to the
voters the question of complete
equal suffrage in the state.
The fourth authorizes independent
school districts to increase their
limit of in debtedness for construc.
ton of school buildings.
The fifth requires the question OF
creating any new state institution
to be submitted to a vote of the
people before any legislative action
in that direction shall become effec.
tive.
The sixth proposes an amend.
ment which will allow the leasing OF
state school lands for agricultural
as well as grazing and hay purposes
to which it is limited under the
present provision.

Twenty Eighth Year.
WESTWARD THE
COURSE of EMPIRE
Tide of immigration Still Headed
For Hand County

y Since the first of this year the
Northwestern road has carried
over 800 cars of immigrant goods
into Huron, the greater number of
which were destined for the points
west of there. From March lst to
18th there were 1873 cars left there,
bound for Hand and Hyde counties
and points west of the river.
Out of these new settlers Hand
county has received an ample share,
enough to swell it's population by
from three to FIVE hundred. Build
ings are going up in every direction
and the county is receiving just
what it needs, more men to till the
soil and aid in the development of
its resources.
The Press has, since it's last issue,
added from 25 to 30 families to it's
list of new settlers, who are arrlv-
ing at the different stations in the
county, and then it has been impos-
sible to secure them all. Of course
a few of these newcomers have
rented improved farms, but the
great majority of chem have bought
the raw land and are putting up
their own buildings.
Hand county is on the eve of the
greatest development and prosperity
in its history, and now is the psy-
Geological moment to tell the world
about it. The course of empire"
has taken it's way westward until
it has found the garden spot of the
agricultural belt, and there it has
settled in peace and contentment.
