Courthouse of Boom Days.

The court house in the village of
Richfeld was built in the early nine
ties and cost $4,000 Clustered around
it are the homes and the stores of pro-
badly not more than $50 persons. This
court house tells the story of the boom
days of western Kansas. Within it is
beautifully finished. In its spacious,
deserted court room, larger probably
than any other similar room in Kan
sas, pigeons now roost and breed. On
the lower floor is the treasurer's Office.
Its furnishings also tell of a glory de-
parted. Eight windows are there to
accommodate eight deputies and to re-
ceive county taxes. 1t was more than a
quarter of a century ago that Rich
field and town four miles south,
known as Frisco, were fighting for the
county seat. Both towns imported, fed
and clothed hundreds of outsiders IN
order to swell the voting population.
Hired marksmen patrolled the outskirts
of each town, and although there were
several "shoot-ups" nobody was killed,
and Richfield won the county seat.
few years later the Cherokee Strip
and No Mans Land, to the south, were
opened to settlement, and then followed
a rush of Morton county settlers to the
new country. Richfield had grown to
be a town of 1000 inhabitants, and
Frisco was laying its plans for another
county seat fight. But the lure of the
frontier was too great and the people

died their effects into wagons and
started for the new Eldorado. Within
week a booming, prosperous county
was reduced from a population of 5000
to 90.
Now new hope has come to the few
settlers of Morton county. Railroad en-
gineers are surveying a proposed line
from Garden City to the southwest,
which will penetrate the county, with a
station at Richfield. The people believe
that the discovery of a great body of
artesian water under Morton county
will insure the building of the railroad
and the development of its rich lands
into one of the finest agricultural sec
lions of the southwest.

District Judges Have Equal Powers

The Nevada Supreme Court has de-
cided that one District Judge has no
power to issue a writ Of mandamus
against another District Judge in his
official capacity to make him perform
some judicial act This ruling was
made recently in the case Of the appeal
of writ of mandamus issued by Judge
Peter J. Somors Of the Esmsralda Dis
trict Court against Judge Stevens of the
same Court to make Judge Theron
Stevens give deed to Edward Q. Jen-
nett for certain lots in the Goldield
townsite. At the time the writ OF
mandamus was Issued Judge Stevens
was acting as Trustee Of the Goldfield
towpsite. The Supreme COURT held
that Judge Somers had no jurisdiction
in the case, as his authority is not
superior to that of his associate, Judge
Stevens, a Judge of the same Court.

IL they did, under this constitutional
government. destroy or confiscate the
property of railroads or corporations.
Agitations, of course, may do some
harm. but wrongs breed agitation and
agitation leads to reform.
what the American people have
done in the nearly forty years of leg
islation and experience is to establish a
policy for the control of transportation
and great aggregations of capital in
corporate form.
al maintain the wisdom ana the
necessity for such reasonable control.
II has been adopted by the deliberate
Judgment of the Nation and in my
opinion has come to stay.
81 know whereof l speak when say
that prior to 1908 few. if any, of the
large shippers iu this country paid the
tariff rates. In my opinion, no lasting
prosperity, no permanent industrial
growth, should be based on such an un-
stable, corrupt aud dishonest system.
II do not believe the government will
ever reduce rates as low as the railroad
managers reduced them during the
years of paying rebates and cutting
rates. The only way to control rates
is by inquiring into their reasonable
ness through commission created
with power to fix them. this of course,
subject to the final judgment of the
highest court in the laud.
"The deliberate Judgment of this
Nation. expressed through the laws of
all the States and the Federal Govern
ment. is that great aggregations of
wealth should be controlled"

RIVAL ROADS RACING TRAINS
Southern and Western Pacific Reported
Racing Through Palisade Canyon

Oroville. Cal, Dec. 13-Trainmen
running into Oroville over the Western
Pacific from Nevada are bringing stories
OF exciting races that are now taking
place between Western Pacific and
Southern Pacific trains. For period
of 40 miles the two tracks parallel each
other. running on long stretches so near
together that we're the trsius standing
the passengers in the Western Pacific
could shake hands with those riding
upon Southern Pacific trains.
Under the new schedule the West
ern Pacific ard Southern Pacific trains
both enter this stretch of track at
practically the same moment. The re-
suit has been some thrilling races, in
which passengers have crowded to the
windows. engineers have derided each
other with triumphant shrieks of the
whistle. as, owing to stop or for other
cause, one train might forge ahead. and
brekemen have waved a taunting fare
well with lanterns to rival brakemen.
Owing to the fact that the Western
Pacific engines are more powerful, thus
far the Western Pacific has in every
instance been able to emerge first from
the stretch Of perallel track. The num-
bsr of steps is practically the same SO
that the two roads have an opportunity
to make an exact test of their respective
speed.

Prices and Wages High in Alaska

Men recently arrived from Alaska
say that prices of food in the Iditarod
country would be prohibitive but for
the big wages paid to miners. Sugar
is 20 cents a pound and bacon, ham and
-four in proportion. Horses are in
great demand and S. an hour is the
price of team. Any first-class sledge
dog will bring 500. There is a con-
stant stream of travel between the
Iditarod and the Koskuwim. Half a
ton of Iditarod gold is on the way to
Seattle, shipped on dog sledges by

County Division Caused Confusion

The division of Lincoln, forming
CLARK County, has resulted in consider
able confusion and some amusing con-
ditions. One of these is the fact that
Lincoln is left without q State Senator
residing within its borders, although it
will have representation in the upper
branch of the Legislature. Senator
Syphus was corraled by CLARK County
when the division line was run. He
could not very well move across the
boundary and continue residence in the
county he represents, but he received
legal advice to the effect that he was
still eligible to fill his position.
