The next meeting of the con-

ladies who represented the -four
thriving societies of that town
invited us all to be present and
bring as many more as possible,
and their hearts and homes would

they hope to make US just as

our soil. l have learned also
that within the area of this new
county, a monument was erected
in memory of that epoch instead
of in Scuffietown, where it would
have been of some value as an
object lesson in history to the de-
scendants of those colonists.
This is one of the specimens of
what it seems to me is the angels
food upon which the generations
have been fed, to the exclusion
of the solid nutriment to be de-
rived from a study of the charac-
ters and achievements of the stur-
dy men and women who have
conquered the wilderness and
made it the fit dwelling place of
the most enlightened people on
the globe.
1t is probably too late to under
take a local history of Robson
from it's beginning, but it is not
too late to take it up from the
beginning of the Civil war and
range it around the Robson SOL
diers in the war.
The Daughters of the Con-
federacy" is an organization
ton which was created for that
purpose, and from what l have
read of their work, I feel sure
they would undertake it if they
deemed it feasible. By appor-
tioning the work among the diff
ferent chapters, the task would
be comparatively easy and in
expensive one, and with the ac-
tive and moral support of all the
people of Robson, the result
would be a history that would
enter every household and be
valued as a precious memento by
thousands yet unborn.
AS a beginning, would like to
see published a roster of every
company composed in whole OF
in part of men from Robson.
From such starting point, al
the material for a proper his.
tory could easily be obtained.
feel sure The Robesonian woulc
lend it's columns to such work ant
| hope to see it actively launched
before all the veterans pass ava!
and the best source for data il
entirely gone.

tails connected with the work h.

ganizations feel disposed to TAX
it up. The Robesonian will b.
glad to lend its columns to tn
work and render any assistanc

Superior Tobacco.


Mr.. A. T. Turner, one Of our
most prosperous farmers, was in
town a few days ago, and inform
ed us that he had 5 acres in to-
bacco that was making his
neighbors sit up and take notice.
Mr.. Turner says this field of to-
bacco was set out the 18th day
of April, and laid by the 3rd day
Of June, having used only 425
plants in replanting the entire
field a complete stand.
He also says that it was topped
over the 9th and 10th of June
and at that time the stalks, which
seemed to vie with each other ir
a race for maturity and superior
ity, have from 13 to Fl large fan
like leaves, and a yield of 140,
pounds per acre is expected.
Mr.. Chambers, manager of tn
Fairmont tobacco warehouse, ant
others who have seen this farm
are loud in their praise of Nh
Turner as a farmer and tobacc
, raiser.

standard Dividends said to be Going
Into Vast Retail Enterprlses.

Standard OIL men, with Standard
oil dividends, are reaching out for
the larger retail trade.
For more than year the work Of
absorbing or, at any rate, gaining q
controlling interest in enterprises,
which in many instances seem to have
no connection with the production OF
oil, has been going on quietly but
actively, and the complete roster
probably would make interesting
reading. Some of these concerns in
which individual stockholders Of the
Standard Oil Company are heavily In
terested are the Hegeman Drug
Company, Childs' chain Of restau-
rants, the Corn Products Refining
Co. the New York Glucose Com
pany and the National Starch Com
pany. But there are more to come.
Reports which bear every evidence
of verify are current that a great
candy establishment with many
branches in New York and other cit
les has recently passed into the con-
troll Of Standard Oil interests.
All these transactions are the out
come of what is known as the in
vestment department" Of the Stan
dard Oil Company. This is entirely
for the benefit of the large stock
holders and the work Is conducted
in an unobtrusive manner.
So thoroughly does the Standard
Oil company now cover the ground
and the earth that it has all the capt.
tai that it needs and 1t is practically
impossible to put more money back
into, the industry, which yields an
nually millions in profits. Standard
Oil dividends, therefore, are con-
stantly seeking reinvestment, for 1t
is one Of the axioms of John D.
Rockefeller himself that money must
not be idle. The head Of the invest
ment department or bureau was un-
til recently a man who is now a bank
er and broker in Wall street. There
has been a reorgination lately, but
search for good opportunities is under
the general direction of an accom-
pIished financial scout who has a
corps of trained assistants.-New
York Herald.

NO MORE LIQUOR.


"The common understanding Of
the new prohibition law is that It
permits druggists to sell liquor on
doctors prescriptions" said County
Attorney John ]. Schneck Of Topeka,
THAT is a mistake. Liquor can be
kept in stock, but even that, as the
ownership of a government revenue
stamp, is prima facie evidence that
the druggist is violating the law,
Alcohol and liquors can be sold only
in tinctures and compounds. When
sold otherwise, the druggist is break
ing the law.
1.-THE Legislature wisely provided
against doctors prescriptions. Had
they not. Kansas would probably
have nearly all the physicians in the
country locating here"

LEoPARDs ATTACKED HER.
Miss Essie Fay Was Injured at the
Parker Carnival at Lawrence.

Saturday night great deal of ex-
element was caused at the Parker
show when Miss Essie Fay, one of
the young women who do stunts"
with the wild animals was attacked
by leopard while in the cage with
the animals. Miss Fay by mistake,
turned her back on the animals and
quick as flash one of them had
jumped at her and threw her down.
In an instant the other alimals flew
to the help OF their comradel Had
1t not been for the brave work Of
Miss Fay herself and Of that Of the
attendants, she might have been fa-
tally hurt. AS 1t was she escaped
with some slight wounds. DR.. s.T.
Gillespie was the attending physician
and dressed the wounds Of which
there were a number Of laceraticns
caused by teeth and claws.

carnival. The total number Of tick
cts sold for the week was 4s.6sS.--

to show that he can beat Weston's

him the first Of next week.
Walsh left Boston on the afternoon

he will deliver before Weston gets
there. He was here in November,

Walsh averages about five miles

He reports the roads in bad shape

this statement. Sergt. Walsh uses

TOOK I'M ESQ. 900. 10s MORE
THAN THEY PAID OUT
Kansas Insurance Companies Have
Rich Pickings.

Insurance companies Of all kinds.
fire, life and fraternal, have had rich
picking in Kansas during the past
ten years. Assistant State Insurance
Commissioner Ike Lewis has made
some tabulations on premiums re-
ceived and losses paid in this state
during the last decade. They show
that the fire, life and frAternAl com
panles combined, took in 39,6O6.1OS
more in premiums than they paid
out in losses. Out of this amount,
Of course. must come the cost Of Sc
curing the business.
The total premiums received by
the three classes Of insurance COM
panies combined aggregated $S7,-
479,792. The total losses paid ag-
gregated $47.s73,689.
Life insurance companies showed
the. greatest profit. In the ten years
they took in $32,950,851 in prem
iums and paid out $1O,S39,6S2.
Fire companies ranked second as
profit getters. In the same period
they received $29,O79,S56 in prem
iums and paid out $15,S22,22O in
losses. The big earnings Of both fire
and life insurance companies on their
Kansas business is no doubt respon-
sible for the organization of SO many
fire and life insurance concerns by
Kansas capitalists recently.
Fraternal insurance concerns
came nearer paying back what they
received in premiums than any other
class Of insurance companies. They
took out in premiums $25,449,OS6
and paid in losses $21,711,7S7. Still
all Of them claim they are in flour
ishing condition. If this is true, then
the old-line life companies either
made a tremendous profit or else
sQuandered their earnings on high
salaried officials.

NOT THE SAME BILL.

One of the Portland papers has
criticised the state senate because ii
passed the military committees ar
mory bill. It says that this measure
was rejected by he people last
June. This is far from being true.
The armory bill upon which the
people voted last spring appropriated
800. 900 for the erection OF armories
and all the money was to be paid
by the state. The present bill con-
tains an appropriation Of $4,000 and
the bill requires that when armories
are built the localities in which they
are erected must pay an equal
amount with the state.
AS the armory bill now stands, 1t Is
a meritorious measure. The oregon
national guard must be maintained.
Since it is to be maintained the state
should own the armories. By doing
so the guard companies will be pro-
vided with quarters that really meet
their needs and in addition the state
will save thousands Of dollars 1t Is
now paying out for rent.

(walla Walla Bulletin. ,


Plans are practically completed
for the sinking Of artesian wells along
the ditch of the Walla Walla irriga>
tion Company, to secure water for
the Gardena project. The Burlin-
game ditch, which supplies the land
near Gardena. takes water from the
Walla Walla river near Meador Park.
Incorporators OF the company have
Just secured a loan of $4,000 from
the Walla Walla Safety Deposit Conn
pany, and this money is to be used
in the sinking of wells, acquiring of
more property and the improvement
of the land included in the project
Several wells will probably be sunk
and with these wells flowing the ir-
rigation of the tract will be independ-
ent of the amount of water in the
Walla Walla river
Irrigation by means of wells prom
ises to change conditions in the Walla
Walla Valley to great extent. maxi

they are now. and making individual
