VALENTINE. Neb.. Feb. 22.-(speciaI)-
The Abernathy twins, who rode from Okla

Cyrus and Byron Dowell of this county.
two small youngsters aged II and II years,
who arrived here late Saturday night after
having ridden $50 miles in about three days
and spending two nights out on the open
prairie with nothing for a bed EXCEPT a
saddle blanket apiece and no companions
except the wandering coyote.
About a year ago complaint was filed
against Thomas Dowen, a ranchman liv-
ing near Mullen, Neb. in the southern
part Of the county. for not sending his two
boys to school. He was arrested on this
charge and the boys and their father were
brought to town. The boys told a most
pitiful story Of abuse. and how they were
made to herd cattle ali day with only cold
meals, while the father went In to warm
food, and also how they were beaten when
ever they resented such treatment. On
promise Of sending the boys to school and
treating them good the father was re-
leased and given custody OF his children.
But once more at home the overwork and
abuse was continued. The boys were forced
to get up At and o'clock in the morning
and work all day herding cattle and far
were all abed. The little fellows have been
doing mems work and more
During the summer the little chaps tried
to run away, but were caught before they
could make good their escape But last
Sunday, week ago. they decided to make
another attempt, and leaving their herd
at noon they started south and once they
sDied their father across a valley and
whipped up their horses into a run and for
several miles there was a hot chase, but
the father failed to catch them. That night
the boys made their bed on the prairie.
The next day they arrived at Mullen, hay
ing taken circuitous route. From Mullen
they rode 70 Hecla, Eeb., and from there
across country to Valentine. distance OF
seventy-fivo miles, through the sand hills.
That night they again camped In the open
prairie, but managed TO find hay stack
to sleep in, where they said they managed
to keep warmer. On the rest OF the Jour
ney they were sheltered and directed on
the way by sympathetic ranchmen.
Upon arriving In Valentine they started
out 20 find County Judge Quigley and
County Attorney Tucker, who had looked
after their needs a year ago. Today At
torney Tucker fitted them out with new
clothes complete.
The boys are very anxious 20 20 to
school having attended school only for a
couple OF weeks in all their lives, the rest
Of the time being compelled to herd cattle.
They were started IN school here today,
not even knowing their letters
Attorney Tucker says they will be looked
after and kept In school from now on. and
that their father win be made to pay their
| way. as he Ia well-to-do.

NORRIS ON PULP AND PAPER
Agent Of Newspapers Defends This
Clause Of Reciprocity Agreement,
PRICES ARBITRARILY ADVANCED
Combine UsinE Its Funds 60 Buy Tim
her Lands in Canada Instead
of DeveIping Ita
Plants.

WASHINGTON. Feb z2.--Ths pulp and
paper clause Of the agreement was de-
Tended before the finance committee Of the
senate today by John Norris. chairman Of
the paper committee OF the American
Newspaper Publishers association. He
elaborated the agreements which he pre-
scented In the same behalf before the ways
and means committee Of the house, declar-
ing that he spoke for daily newspapers,
which pay S55,OOO,OOO per snnum for their
print paper. f6OOO.OO0 more than they would
pay II normal conditions were permitted"
He dweit especially upon the following
points:
The increase OF $3.50 per ton in the price
Of print paper by paper makers since the
enactment OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff not
withstanding the reduction OF s2.25 per ton
in the duty; the increase Of price from $50
TO S5 per ton since thrty-two mills were
merged into the International Paper COM
pany; the alleged effort Of paper makers
to 'starve the market" and Increase prices;
the complete dependence upon Canada for
pulp wood to keep the American paper
mills going; the inaccurate character Of in
formation supplied to senator's about the
supply Of pulp wood in various parts OF the
United States; the somewhat higher labor
cost in Canada Of making a ton OF print
paper; the ability of American mills to
make paper cheaper than can the Cana
dian; the failure OF bulldozing methods to
obtain pulp wood from Canada. and the eff,
fective application Of the paper clause IN
the pending agreement to the serious sit
uation now confronting American paper
users.
Combine Advances Prices,
Mr.. Norris submitted an extensive array
~ L.. 81.
These included much that was brought be-
fore the ways and means committee re-
Gently and also important material which
he said he submitted TO the congressional
committees In 1909.
During July, August and September
last" Mr.. Norris said, the larger paper
companies refused TO quote any prices for
the year 1911. Subsequently an agreed and
uniform price Of $45 per ton was demanded
by them. The largest user Of print paper
in the United States. whose contract will
soon expire, will probably pay an advance
of 100000 per annum upon his present price
Large newspapers whose contracts are ex-
piring are unable to obtain bids at any
price except from the mill now supplying
them.
What else can we expect when congress
fattens and fosters concerns like the Inter
hatohal FapeT company, Whlch gathered
together thirty-two mills, most Of which
were tributary to denuded timber tracts
and to exhausted water courses? IT con-
