seven OF his men were shot, four of

OF trouble said Mr.. Johnson
And this week I've been ceIebrat-
Ing an event-I have passed the thou

specific. 1,02S convictions In just 10
months, or since July l, 1908 These
convictions were In New York, Wiscon-

Seven of my men shot and four
killed. and a $4,000 reward offered for
my life by the thugs of the country
was just one chapter in my first days
spent in the Indian service OF the gov
ernment down among the natives In
Indian territory said w. r. Johnson,
chief special officer for the suppress
sion OF the sale of liquor among the
Indians today. One man now in jail
there testified on the stand he had
been hired to Kill Mr. Johnson.
II was an experiment of the fed
cral government when about four years
ago it sent w E. Johnson TO the In
dian territory to see what he could
do toward suppressing the sale OF
liquor by the whites TO the Indians
When he sized up the situation he
found himself practically alone among
l,i00 900 people with but four courts
and eight judges, 5000 criminal cases
on the dockets untried. and a strong
sentiment favoring let well enough
alone" But with spirit unbafhed
by a mountain of difficulties, with 4
resolution determined and fixed, Mr..
Johnson faced the army of obstacles
that arose before him The result was
that he did his work we'll. the govern
mont wasyso much pleased with it that
1t thereupon established q new de-
partment and placed MI, johnson at
its head
The first years appropriation for this
work of suppressing the sale of liquor
among the Indians was $4,000; next
year 1t was increased to $4,000; the
next to $4,000; the next to $4,000 and
Friday Mr.. Johnson received a tele
gram from Washington that this year
$4,000 had been recommended, and
will no doubt be appropriated
This increase will permit him to
add to his force of nine regular special
officers working on salaries He also
has 20 to rs deputies in various parts
of the country. besides sheriffs and u.
S. marshals who assist him on occa-
sion. In addition to this regular ap-
preparation the department of justice
pays probably $4,000 a year toward
covering certain court expenses where
1T is necessary to prosecute criminals
So with 5000 criminal cases set be-
fore him. Mr.. johnson could hope for
no assistance down there from the
regular courts, $50 the only thing
1 could do was to institute a regular
knock-down- -drag-out plan of action. 4"
He rallied about him Il little band OF
Stalwart Young fellows and started in
to raid the dives, He broke into the
places; smashed up the bottles and
barrels of whisky and beer; threw the

he saw In several small enclosures In
this vicinity In these fields there were
several head OF stock confined, shiver-

scanty picking OF the remnant of the
harvest. which had been graZed to the
limit before the snow.
What excuse has a man who SO
cruelty treats an animal? A faithful
servant that helped to plow that same
field, reap the harvest and store the
same and then turn him out to dig
through the snow for the scant crop

that people who keep stock on the

FRICTION IN GARFIELD.

You do not hear fault found with
paying tithing by the man who does
pay tthing promptly" and you do
not often bear fault found with a
country newspaper by man who has
paid for 1t. After a long experience we
find the person who finds fault with
the newspaper Is almost certainly one
who owes for his subscription.
Rapid motion makes friction. If this
paper keeps on gaining We cannot
please everybody. Still as long as we
try to do right, to be truthful. hope
full and give the news, the paper will
grow in usefulness as 1t does In clrcu-
lation.
We have had a good many people
praise the paper this week and havo
taken In new subscribers, three in one
day.
We do not wish to criticize harshiy
or unjustly, or to find fault without a
cause. The public have the fun right
to know about public matters. so as to
give praise where praise and credit are
due.-Panguitch Progress.

The LIGHT Of the Stars.

! Various endeavors have been made
to estimate theylight of the stars. In
the northern hemisphere ' Argelander
has registered $4,000 stars down to
the nine and q half magnitude, and
with the aid of the best photometric
data Agnes NJ. Clerks System Of the
Stars" gives the sum of the light of
these northern stars as equivalent to
lao Of full moonlight, while the total
light of all stars similarly enumerated
In both henliSpheres, to the number of
about 100000. is roughly placed at
1-18O of the lunar brightness. The
scattered light of still fainter celestial
bodies Is difficult to compute. By a
Photographic method Sir William Alb
hey rated the total starlight of both
hemispheres at LOO of full moonlight,
and Professor Newcomb from visual
observations Of all stars at just 728
times that of Capella. or 1-S9 of the
light of the full moon. ~
1t Is not certain. however, that the
sky would be totally dark If all stars
were blotted out Certain processes
make the upper atmosphere strongly
luminous at times, and we cannot be
sure that this light would be totally

If the traveller wants to get real

glimpse which shall long be happy
memory, let him journey to the old
fishing village Of Scheyeningen. not
far from The Hague. Its fishing feet
Is an imposing one and is best seen at
night, when the boats are drawn up on
the beach. Each has a number, and
these are painted on the sides in such
large figures that they can be read
at considerable distance. At night
when the fishermen begin to come to
land the women of the village walk
down to the beach with their knitting
in their hands to meet them. They
wear their wooden shoes, some OF
which are made to look especially
clean by anapplication of whiting. and
they make a merry ciatter as they go.
Industry is characteristic of the woln-
