This Office is looking for some
man who wants to save the coun-
try and who wants no public
office 1t is our observation that
the man making the most noise
Is doing it for his own benefit.
Scattered along through the
pages of history there are excep-
tions but these are few. When
ever some starts out making
speeches who is not candidate
and never expects to be one, we
want to turn out and hear him.

Last Tuesday all our base ball
enthusiasts went to Quinter in
autos and by rail to witness a
game of ball between Grainfield
and Quinter The game was
played under protest from Grain
field as a new pitcher and several
Wa-keeneyiteS wore Quinter
suits. The game was called at
5 p. m. and both teams lined up
like professionals. Grainfield
went first to bat and they
batted like fiends, but they only
scored one run. Quinter went
to bat but couldn't touch up
Ryan for any hits The pitcher
for Quinter was a left handed
slab artist from Lincoln and he
is dandy Art Keraus caught
him and he caught a good game
Since was on third and played
excellent ball as did the rest of
the Quinter team. The Grain
field boys had Ryan and Roger
for their battery and they are
artists hard to beat 1t was a
fine game and Grainfield won in
the first inning by one score.
The Wa-Keenevites returned
home feeling that they were well
paid for their trip to the busy
town of Quinter

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
Board of Equalization Meeting.

WA-KEENEY, KANS., June 6, 10.
The board of com miSSionerS of
Trego county met today in the
Office of the county clerk as a
board of equalization.
There were present w. F..
King, chairman. F. B. Walker
and r. B. Briggs commissioners,
and the county clerk.
The board was called to order
by the chairman and remained
in session during the 9th, 7th
and 9Th.
Several parties came before
the board and presented griev-
anceS, claiming over assessments
of their real estate.
The board after thorough COM
parisons of adjoining properties
find that the relative values
placed on the properties by the
assessors of each township and
equalized by the board of review,
is not materially unjust and de
cided that change of individual
tracts was not necessary.
The board finds that an equit-
able basis of values between
townships has not been reached
by the assessors and tie follow
ing changes were made on the
real estate of Ogallah, Wilcox
and Wa-Keeney townships. Ogal-
lab and Wilcox township each
raised 10 per cent. Wa-Keeney
township reduced 25 per cent
Such changes being noted on the
assessment rolls now on file in
the office.
The board found that numer-
Gus mortgages had not been
listed for taxation by the parties
owning them, and ordered that
without further notice they be
extended on the tax roll.
In the matter of legal resi-
dence for taxing purposes of 9
part of the personal property OF
H. J. Hille, lengthy discussion
was had which showed a varied
difference of opinion, Mr. Hille
claiming his residence in WillcoS
township and part of the board
claiming Wa-Keeney city as his
residence.
On motion the following mo
tion was made and a vote of the
board taken:
Resolved, That the notes
moneys and mortgages of II. j
Hille be taxed in the city of Wa
Keeney; voting for, F. B. Walk
er, against, w. F. King and r
B. Briggs.
The request of j. p and J. w
Marquand to have the tax on the
improvements on lots 10 and /:
in block s in Ogallah was allowed

The County Fair.

At the meeting of the Com
mercial club Thursday evening
the most important question up
for discussion was the county
fair proposition. The committee
that was appointed at the last
meeting to formulate plans and
estimate the probable cost, made
its report, which was accepted
and every member of the club
present seemed to be in favor of
county fair and stock sale the
first week in September, 1St,
End, and Bird.
1t was decided however. that
in order to legally complete
plans and close up the necessary
contracts with a carnival com
pany and other, attractions
and amusementS, that an in
corporated Fair Association
would be necessary, conse-
quently the committee appointed
last week consisting of L. S.
Myerly, J. w. Bingham, M. W.
Mason, D. S. Gilmore and Ed
Porter, was made permanent,
given the authority by the club,
with instructions to act at once
and commence to solicit stock
for a fair association, which after
properly organized and incorpor-
ated. could legally proceed with
the proposed fair arrangements
and make it a success.
The Fair Association will be
an organization in which every
citizen of Wa-Keeney and Trego
county, particularly the farmers
and stockmen, should be inter
ested, as it will not only cause to
be placed on exhibition each
year the products of our dairies,
orchards, fields and live stock of
every description, displaying the
possibilities of an enterpriSing
and progressive people, secured
from the virgin soil of western
Kansas, which was once called
the Arid Region" by Secretary
Wilson, but will also bring TregO
up to the top notch as the home
of profitable agricultural pur-
suits, the thoroughbred horses,
cattle and hogs and last but not
least. the helpful hen.
Therefore it is your duty as a
loyal Trego county citizen, no
matter in what part of the county
you may reside, to subscribe for
a few shares of the Fair ASSO-
cation stock at once, as the as
sociation should be perfected
within the next ten days, and
alSO norSonallU assist with VOuT
influence in organizing one of the
best incorporated companies fol
everyone concerned offered fol
sale upon the market. Get busy
today, encourage the committee
by securing number of these
shares and be one of the boosters
who assisted to start the TregC
County Fair with sufficient tinan
cial backing to make it a success
and profitable to investors.

1t Needs Attention.
DEMOCRATS MOST ACTIVE
Amendment Would Allow Inter
state Commerce Commission
to Regulate Rates.
By Ernest q. walker.

mail Special to The Advertiser)
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The house
of representatives has put an impor-
tant amendment, with reference to
Hawaii upon the Presidents railroad
bill. 1t was offered by Representative
Good, of Iowa, and adopted by sub
stantial majority after some debate.
The amendment extends the authority
Of the interstate commerce commission
"to any common carriers engaged in
the transportation of passengers or
property by water from one place in
the Territory of Hawaii to another
place in the same Territory"
The vote on division stood ayes So,
noes 81, and then there was vote by
tellers, when the amendment carried,
ayes los to notes, 50. The amendment
was plainly aimed at the Inter-Isand
company. Representative Miller, of
Kansas, who was the last to speak to
the amendment was very strong for it.
81 want TO say just a word in favor
of this amendment" said he. "The
steamship company that is doing bust
ness over in the Hawaiian Islands, or
from one island to another, owns prac-
tically everything over there. There
is not any question about the exist
ence of a monopoly now.
"The territorial legislature in the
Hawaiian Islands is under the influ-
ence of the steamship company and
other similar interests as much as any
Legislature of the mainland was ever
under the influence of any railroad or
other corporations.
"You talk about schooners running
from one island to another, continued
Representative Miller, cor these little
vessels. l will say that they are, owned
by the steamship company and the
company not only owns the steamship
lines themselves but they own the land
ings and nobody, whether he has a
small amount of money or a large
amount of money, except some one in
terested in this steamship company,
can do business of any kind over there
without the consent of this steamship
company. 1 want to say that if ever
there was a monopoly on earth 1t
is the steamship company that is doing
business and robbing the people of the
Hawaiian Islands and, in my judgment
this whole matter ought to be put un
der the interstate commerce commits
sion -
Representative Stevens, of Mime
sofa, member of the interstate com
merce committee, opposed the amend
ment but Representative Dawson, Of
Iowa, also favored it. Representative
Kahn, of San Francisco, also opposed
/ the amendment.
If the railroad bill becomes law will
the provision in question as part Of
lit, shippers and others will have the
ight to complain of rates for waite
Transportation and the interstate com
merce commission will have the powe
to annul rates which seem to be un
reasonable.
There seems now to be some doub
whether the bill will become law a
this session of congress, although the
weight of opinion seems to be that i
will
