CARNEGIE RETURNS HOME
He and Family Are Well After Visit in
Foreign Lands.

New York, Oct 24.-Andrew Car
negie leaned heavily on the arm of his
secretary as he walked down the gang
way of the White Star liner Baltic, Sun
day, from Liverpool. He did not re-
linquish his hold ON the supporting arm
until he had entered a carriage to be
driven to his Fifth avenue mansion,
and in walking the length of the pier
to the elevator displayed signs of
fatigue.
Mr.. Carnegie declared, however, that
he felt splendidly and had enjoyed the
voyage immensely. He was relieved of
the tediousness of the custom routine by
leaving baggage on the pier for inspec-
ton, Mrs. Carnegie and daughter, Miss
Margaret, remaining until an Inspector
began opening their baggage.

ODtalned Large Number of Options
While in Dawson Two
Years Ago.
Mr.. Ethelbert Belknap of Yonkers,
N. Y, has arrived in Dawson, accom-
panied by Mr. G. H. Loweree, and
a result of their visit may be several
Oil gushers spouting in Terrell coun-
ty in no distant day.
While here two years ago on a
business trip Mr.. Belknap became
impressed that oil could be found in
TINS section, so much so that before
his departure he bought from a hun
dred or more land owners of the
county options with the privilege of
boring for oil. He returned to the
north, and nothing further was heard
OF him and his oil wells until he
came back last week accompanied by
Mr.. LOWeree, who is said to be an
expert oil man with a wide and sue
cessful experience.
The gentlemen are not inclined to
talk much of their plans, but it is
known that Mr.. Loweree has looked
over much of the land on which Mr..
Belknap obtained options, and is we'll
pleased with the prospects.
1t is reported that a stock COM
pany is being formed, and that a
number of experimental wells will be
bored before a great while.

WILL CONSIDER PHONE RATES
Council Win Have Before 1t Tonight
Petition of Company to In
crease Its Charges.

VI 10 1A~
crease, Its Charges.
The city council will meet in reg
ular monthly session tonight, and
among the matters to come up for
consideration is the ordinance that
was introduced at the last meeting
of that body to amend the franchise
of the Dawson Telephone Company
so as to permit the company to
raise its monthly rates for service.
The. company wants permission to
charge $500 instead of $3.50 per
month for residence phones and
$500 instead of $3.50 for business
phones.
What action the council will take
cannot be forecasted, as there has
been very little said about the mat
ter, and apparently very little inter
est in it.
Some have been of the opinion
that, under the new charter, the mat
ter would have to be referred to and
voted on by the people, but it seems
that is not necessarily the case.
While the new charter provides that
no franchise shall be granted that
has not first been submitted to and
ratified by the people the concluding
clause of that section of the charter
says "they (the counciD shall have
the power and authority to
provide for the forfeiture, amend
ment or the renewal of franchises. Z"
From this it would seem that the
council has the power to either grant
the amendment to the franchise that
is desired by the company or to refer
it to the people.

GEORGE WAsHlNeToN-THE MAN

George Washington. president, sol
dier, patriot, statesman, farmer, aristo
crat, was born lis years ago. The
twenty-second day OF this month the
American nation will, in various de-
grees and manners, do homage to the,
memory of George Washington-the
man. Every American school boys
first impression of great man is.
embodied in George Washington, the
father of his country. the man who
never told lie. He learns of Wash
ington's one hundred strict maxims to
guide him in ideals Of responsibility.
Perchance the school boy is more i'm
pressed by having to recite one of
these maxims as a part of the exer-
cises of the day.
1t is true that in the early history of
the nation the name of Washington is
connected as patriot. general and pres
ident, but when we seek to know why
George Washington was such, we
learn of the man. He was known as
virtuous man, man with high ideals
of honor and duty who impressed and
inspired all who came in contact with
: him by his extreme respectability. He
was a chivalrous man whose courtesy
extended to men as we'll as women.
He was God-fearing man whose SOL
diers found him on his knees in the
woods before a great battle, praying
for divine aid
The story of Washington and his
cherry tree is discredited by many to-
day. 1t is only the most cynical bias
