ignorance. 1t has been more than

eyes when we think of certain times
of those noble men and remarkable
writer's, and the petty, miserable
jealousy of it all. Such is life too
often amongst the newspaper clan.

"Reminiscences
The father was most abstemious
in his later life, both in meat and
drink; a perfect Christian gentle
man of the old school; he was one
of the electors from Massachusetts,
when the first Harrison was
chosen president and only for the
dear mother would have gone to
Congress the following winter
He was Methodist and at one
time paid one-half for building a
new meeting house, but later he be-
came an ardent Presbyterian on ac-
count of the sermons of one preach
err. For few months previous to
his death he was regular COM
municant of the Episcopal Church.
He was entirely opposed to Pro-
hibition and taught us that it was,
and must be, contrary to the Con-
stitution."
He was a daily student of the
Bible in his later years; and, the
only other book he conned at that
time was The Pilgrims Progress,
which he declared was the most
marvellous teaching, next TO the
Bible. At that time we did not
know very much about that most
perfect English classic: Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress. The father
would quote to us, "Other sheep |
have that are not of this fold;" and
truly his mild rebuke tarries in our
ears today and tends to the making
of us very charitable; for, we had

YECKEL MEANS BUSINESS.
Yours truly,
c. Ii. SPEERS, G. p. A.

There seems to he no doubt what
ever that j. j. Nco kel will have con-
tractors at work on the Plateau VAL
ley railroad within the next few
weeks The Voice can say nothing
officially, because not all the plans
are yet worked out; but this much is
pretty generally understood;
Mr.. Yeckel has made good. He
first sent an attorney to Washington.
D. C., and obtained such government
rights of way as were necessary I"
cross certain unpatented lands along
the route. He received the field notes
and surveyor the old Plateau Valley
Railway Company, and actually ac-
duired everything which had already
been done. He has been assured by
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad of
railroad service, once the rails are
laid, and all rolling stock and equip
ment necessary. And now Mr.. Yeck-
ell has gone so far toward financing
the road that money is said to be
available to build about 10 miles of
roadbed When this is done, there
will be no trouble abount bonding
for sufficient to complete the con-
struction. Right-of-way contracts
are being closed and everything made
ready for actual work to begin.
The Voice has every reason to be-
lieye that construction work will be
under way before July Plateau
Voice.
