POWER OF THE PRESS

Two important meetings have been held in
connection with the A.-Y.-P. Exposition series of
special events. The first was that of the Wash
ngton State Press Association, which brought to-
gether upward of fifty of the newspaper men and
women of the state. Its sessions were Of inter
est and value to the newspaper workers, and will
be reflected in the tone and trend of their future
work which means much for the welfare or
the state.
The other meeting was that of the National
Editorial Association, which brought together
nearly 800 newspaper men and women from all
over the country. What these "molders of
thought saw on their journey and at the EXPOSE
ton means much to the Pacific Northwest.
Whether or their pilgrimage was continued
with the excursion to Alaska, they had an insight
to our LAND of opportunity" that revelation
to most of them And they will go to- their re-
spective places of newspaper work with deeper
and loftier knowledge of the needs and capabilities
of our section of the country that will rebound
greatly to our honor and strength.
These typestickers and pencil pushers acquire
broader and lofter ideas of our country its re-
sources and it's possibilities by these annual gath
erings To them the Pacific Northwest will no
longer be a vague, shadowy or forceess term OF
phraseology but it will stand out as vital
reality pregnant with activity, expansion and pro-
gress To them has come a conception OF the
power and influence that lie before our citizens
and will become potent factors in the countrys
progress during the life of the present generation
Through them this conception will be given vital
form that shall influence many to better knoWl-
edge of our status, and some to an earnest deter
mination to participate in the tolls and triumphs
that await the jewellers in midst.

THE NORTHWEST LEADS

There was a time when New England was
famous for her orchards, and her fruit was known
in the markets of the world. Gradually the or
chard belt moved westward. Ohio and Michigan
fruit began to GUST those of New England. Then
Iowa and Missouri began to raise apples, and took
rank among the fruit producing sections OF the
country. Irrigation brought New Mexico and Col
orado to the front of the fruit culturiss At last
the Pacific Northwest stepped into the race and
in a few years has taken the first place of ALL We
are speaking of deciduous fruits, for both Florida
and California have long held high place for tropl-
cal fruits
Why has the center of production shifted so
persistently? Why is it that the spots where once
the best fruit obtainable grown are no longer
noted for their products? Is it because the soil is
exhausted? Is it that the fruit has deteriorated
in older sections?
We think not. 1t is because new growers have
developed ideas of value In the older sections OF
the country, with the same care and patience
which they formerly exerted, the same results
would be obtainable In these older sections, with
modern methods, much better fruit could be raised
than ever before. But the native energy and
modern adaptation to new conditions have drlfted
away to the West.
Intelligent cultivation, intelligent planting, intel
ligent care, intelligent harvesting and intelligent
packing and marketing have made he fruit OF the
Pacific Northwest not only the finest in quality,
but the finest in appearance. These two qualities
combined make for marketabty. Add to nara
work fruitful soil, an appropriate climate proper
conditions cooperation, foresight, the best meth
DDS and common sense and the results are worthy
always-West Coast Trade

LOOKING WESTWARD

Whatever may have been the prime cause OF
the recent period of depression, the wage earning
public of the East has been taught severe les
son. Their pay envelopes have been woefully de-
pleted and many entirely disappeared for long
intervals. Much may be the regret OF both
Wage-earner and employer at the financial Strln
gency of the past two years, there are, neverthe
less some educational and beneficial results to be
gained therefrom.
Deep in the minds of the employees in many
large Eastern cities and villages there is nucleus
of thought that may easily be turned to the ad
vantage of the great West. To be Independent OF
this uncertain pay check is devoutly wished for
Holding no hope for future affluence, it has sud
denly failed of temporary support. There Is Dut
one solution for the puzzle-it must give place to
a more substantial and dependable income.
Toward the mountains, the sparkling waters and
the pure air of the West an exhausted, dlscon'
tented East has turned it's head. Behind lies
drudgery, helpessness, an old age of want Bound
by the weight of TOLL it leans upon its wage stan
and peers into the future-and the West. lts
home ties are deep rooted yet it's love of home
and comfort bends the ear to the glorious promise
of independence and plenty in view OF the snow
caps of the Cascades, the Rockies and Sierras.
Does the West hear? Has it been so busy with
the normal pulsatons of it's progress that 1t is
needless of it's opportunity? Never before in the
history of irrigation activities of the West have
conditions been more suspicious. The East is
made restless by the failure of it's Saturday night
income It's people, made cautious by late expert
ence, are saving. Records OF small BANK de-
posts show heavy gains. Soon there will have
been accumulated sums sufficient for investment.
Shall these monies turn into the Golfers OF the
stock brokers, the willy mine promoters or the
watered stock of the giant corporations? Or Will
it carry it's owners into the smiling bount1ful val
Ieys where earth woos sky and man is man? The
answer will be forthcoming soon.

PASTORAL.

PASTORAL.
Tall trees their GOODNESS shed across the way,
The bee booms in the clover and the drone
OF locusts in a drowsy monotone
StartleS the Slumber of the summer day.
over the grasses truant shadows play
Fra shreds of gossamer breezes blown;
And through the meadow pensive and alone
Murmurs little woodland brook astray
We two, we two in all the golden weather
Wandering content through sunny, silent dells,
The world forgot, just you and l togetherI
So faint the sound of silver shepherd bells!
AS though adrift upon a fairy sea
We slip away to Youth and Already. - .

George w. BrownelI.

Decatur county has been called upon
to yield to the grim reaper one of it's
leading citizens in the passing of
George Wilmer Brownell, who died sud-
denly at his home 2. miles north of La
moni at very early hour on Monday
morning, April 10. Death came almost
without warning. He complained of be-
ing in some pain Sunday and of feeling
somewhat fatigued. His family, how
ever, were not unduly concerned as he
had on the day previous been about his
customary duties apparently in his
usual good health and good spirits.
| His very sudden demise was to an eX-
tent, fulfillment Of his own wish, as he
had often been heard to express the de-
sire that when his time came for pass
ing away he might go quickly.
Since 1881 Mr.. Brownell has been a
citizen of Decatur county, living the
entire time since then at the home in
which he expired, on the farm north of
Lamont to which he has given his con-
slant attention since coming.
George Wilmer Brownell, son of
Samuel and Eliza Thomas Bfownell, of
Providence, Rhode Island, was born
July IA, 1889, at Oswego, New York,
hence was in his 10Th year at his de-
mise. At about the age of % he left
New York to come into the then rapidly
developing west, and sojourned for a
time in Michigan and Illinois, and then
going to st. Louis, Mo-, where for near
ly twenty years he filled the position
of master mechanic of the Vandalia
lines. On Februry II, 1880, he was mar
ried to Mrs. Crawford, who survives
him, together with their daughter Edna,
who is graduate of the Lamoui public
schools and a student at Graceland
College, is widely and we'll known in
this part Of the county.
Mr.. Brownell is survived by three
sisters, one living i'll this county, Mrs.
Harry Ferguson, two others in Bing-
hampton, New York, Mrs. A. Farnham
and Mrs. Mary Lane. A nephew, Mr..
Frank Lane, of st. Louis, was present
at the funeral services which were held
at the Brownell home at two o'clock p.
m. Wednesday the 21st, in charge of
President Frederick M. Smith, of the
Latter Day Saints church who delivered
the sermon and of1iciated at the grave,
the interment being in the Lille ceme-
terry. The large attendance at the
funeral despite the almost impossible
roads testified to the high esteem in
I which Mr.. Brownell was held by his
fellow citizens. A fearless, out-spoken
and intelligent man he was we'll known
and liked by the community in which
he sojourned and recognized as man
of, generous impulse and good citizen.
He made no religious creed but was a
man who was animated by the broad
principle of service to his fellowmen in
need. in the passing of Mr.. Brownell
Decatur county loses respected and
useful citizen.

Death of Elmer E. Rowell.

After short but very severe illness
Elmer Il. Rowell passed from this life
at the hospital in ST. Joseph, Tuesday
afternoon, to which place he had been
taken the Friday previous for an opera
tion for the removal of cancer from
the stomach. The operation was not
performed, however, on account of the
weak condition of the patients heart
and it was soon conceded that the end
was near. The remains were shipped
to Benkelman Wednesday and funeral
services were held at the M. Il. church
on Thursday afternoon by the Rev.
Cannon, of McCook, assisted by Rev.
Chader, Of this city. The funeral ar
rangements were in charge of the
Modern Woodmen and Knights Of
Pythias lodges, of which deceased was
a member. The funeral was largely at
tended and a large and beautiful floral
tribute was paid the deceased by his
brother lodge members both here and
at McCook.
Deceased was born in Iowa in June,
1859. The greater part of his life has
been spent here. The widow, three
children, the mother, one sister and two
brothers live to mourn his untimely
departure. He lived we'll his life and
was deserving of the deep esteem in
! which he was held by his fellowmen.
His death brought the bitter cup of
sorrow to the lips of relatives and
1 friends. His heart was heart of gold.
, He was one of natures noble men in the
truest sensc-brave, generous, manly.
His was the soul of honor and his friends
and friendships were sacred to him.
lii presence of such sorrow, how cold
and impotent are words and how doubly
deep would be the grief over the grave
did not the rainbow of christian hope
span the dark gulf between time and
eternity, and such pure, bright lives
/ inspire the belief that there is better
world beyond, where, freed from the
corroding cares of earth, the good and
/, true are reunited "after lifes titful
fever
To the broken hearted wife, mother,
children, brothers and sisters who sit
in sorrow where his footsteps shall
never again find echo we extend the
sympathies of those who loved him as
a brother. When they have drained
! the cup may the peace that passeth all
understanding come to them from one
who cares for each little sparrow that
falls.-Benkelman (Neb.) News.
I The subject of the above sketch was
the youngest child and son of Mrs. S. A
Rowell, of McCook, Neb., and nephew
of Mrs. j. G. Cochran, of Decatur City
and Mrs. Z. ]. Stanley, of this city and
a cousin of Dr.. w. Rowell.
i Mrs. Rowell who our readers will
kindly remember having spent the past
summer visiting her two sisters, Mrs
E. ]. Stanley. of this city and Mrs. J. G
Cochran, of Decatur City, and numerous
other relatives and friends in this
county. We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to the relatives and friends in
their hour of sorrow.
