Everybody in and around Morrison

news flashed over the wires Saturday
evening announcing the death of Mr.
John Ramsey, we'll to do farmer who
lived at Viola. Mr.. Ramsey was rak-
ing hay on his farm Thursday when
one of the mules became frightened by
the tongue of the rake slipping off the
neck yoke, and the mule started to
run, thus throwing Mr.. Ramsey vio-
lently to the ground. The fall so in
iured his spinal column as to cause
him to he totally paralized from his
neck down. He was conscious but bad
no feeling whatever from his neck
down. Mr.. Ramsey was well re-
spected ..citizen and had a host of
friends who are left to mourn his loss,
besides brothers. and sisters and other
relatives; also an aged mother and a
wife. He was faithful member of
the Christian Church at Viola and a
good standing man in the community.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian Church at Viola, conducted
by Bro. VIM. Thurman, of McMinn-
Vile, and the body was laid to rest in
the Viola cemetery Sunday afternoon
The hum of the thresher could be
distinctly heard all around us last
week, and wheat is turning out even
better than was expected.

Woods, near Morrison today.

the burial of Mr. John Ramsey this
afternoon.

8. Jones, who played thir base,
did good work all around He fully

ming by FIVE nice hits during the day;
and was fast after be got on the bases.
In justice to Barrett, who pitched
six innings of morning game it is due
to say that be pitched fine bali and
until the seventh, only two clean hits
were got off him. He had pitched
Saturdays game at Victoria, which be
lost by no fault of his own, but by
multitude of errors. He has done
good work in the box ami has lots

The Battle Greek team was schedul-
ed TO play the morning game, but did
not put in an appearance. The South
Pittsburg boys arrived at 1O:30 O'Clock
and the game was called in about an
hour after, and you bet it was hot
work.

NOTES.

A feature of the games was the fine
pitching of A. Lewis He relieved
Barrett in morning game when he was
weakening, and likewise Lasater in
the second game, and by consistent
heady pitching held down the s. P's,
aided by magnificent work of his team
who were with him. His brother Dave
Lewis, did the receiving for both
games in fine shape.
jackson, who pitched for the major
portion of the two games for So Pitts
burg, is crackerjack. He has an up
shoot that is almost unhitable, and
speed to burn. 1t was interesting to
see him work out, as he had ginger all
the time.
Doss made spectacular star catch
in centre, getting a high fly with one
hand that was sensational. He also
distinguished himself at bat and his
slugging was responsible for several of
the runs secured. He is fast player.
H. Jones did good work at first, and
his hitting was done at the right time
to tie up the game.

And again the system prevailed
against the people in defeating an
honest. effective initiative and re-
ferendum bill. That was also ac-
complished on Thursday last. The

centage of ten. and referred to
them thru an eight-per cent petit

Out in the west is the place for a
young man and his wife or a single
man to go. There land is plentiful
and good land too. If he wishes a
half section of free land as home
stead and preemption or if he likes
to buy land cheap. now is the time
to come The Canadian Pacific
Railway will build through this
part of the country this summer and
the Grand Trunk railway also will
build IN here in the near future. as
they have promised the government
to do. Six years ago this country
was all wild and no houses to be
seen much and neighbors were
from about five to eight miles
apart. The country is all settled
now and land is now selling at
fifteen to thirty dollars per acre.
If this country was no good, land
surely wouldn't raise in price so
fast; but the country is good. We
have succeeded we'll in the west in
the last few years. 1910 was a
medium dry year and the wheat did
not yield over five to fifteen

it is most of the time. got q pre-
emption of the government and
broke 100 acres and put it into crop
and the crop gave me SLABS and
the wheat crop went from 20 to 40
bu. per acre. NV wheat crop was
2100 bushels that year on the
homestead and 1400 bushels Of oats.
But we were 81 miles from town
and it was a long way to haul
wheat. Now we are II miles from
a railway town and thissummer it
will be three miles to haul wheat
as the Canadian Pacific railway has
built fifteen miles on the Estevan
extension branch and thirty miles
more will bring it here to Slayer.
P. o. There are school houses all
through the country and services
are held in the school houses bv
ministers and there will soon be
churches built thruout the country.

crude and unfair that "the system"
is crumbling of inherent rottenness.
Not week passes in which the
House does not rebuke the organ
ization by overturning some Can.
nonistic action of a standing COM
mittee. Let me give one or two
examples.
The Committee on Elections is
typical. That committee headed
by L. D. Brown has had in its Gus
tody some of the most vital mea-
sures Of the session. 1t has delay
ed action to the point Of violating
the rules of the House on every one.
/ Very early in the session DR.. w. i.
T. Stone introduced corrupt
practices act, drafted on the plan
of the Oregon law. He tried in
vain to get it reported from the
elections committee, which held
and delayed action for two months
contrary to the rules. FINALLY. the
only day of the session when DR..
Stone has been absent Mr.. Brown
reported his measure, which is not
outranked in Importance by more
than two, and recommended it for
indefinite postponement." That
was too raw for even House that
is not proving any too progressive
and the elections committee was
turned down by vote of 70 to
80. and the Stone bill placed upon
general orders.
1t is reported that when the au.
thor of this bill pressed the elec.
tions committee for an explanation
of its action, a leading member
confessed that the measure had
merelv been delayed and never
considered properly. "Why didn't
you read it," was asked, ut was
too damned long,. was the answer.
Such language and such incidents
may seem out of place here but the
real conditions should be under
stood by every citizen Of the state
When Indifference. Incidence
and ignorance are coupled with a
natural tendency to delay and de.
srroy everything progressive it is
not to be wondered at that the
people get the worst of amost every
legislative situation.
The temperance committee has
been turned down tw ice recently or
important matters. The chairman
of that committee. F. l.. Palmer
is a progressive, but a majority Of
the other fourteen members are o1
the kind that need to be rebuked
| This committee made report
indefinitely postponiug 1.-THE state
wide prohibition bill. The House
turned down that report and placed
the bill on general orders by :
vote of so to So. The same com
mittee "killed" the J. N. johnson
bill to extend local option to cite:
of the fourth class, but the House
revived the measure and it is als(
on general orders.

porations and politicians. On
Thursday the Robinson resolution
calling for an investigation into the
campaign receipts and expenditures
of the state central committees was
chloroformed and inferred before it
had chance to regain conscious
ness. The manner in which the ad-
ministration forces rode rough shod
over Robinson was sight to make
men and angels weep. First the
committee on General Legislation
DELAYED consideration as long as it
possibly could and then imposed
the usual sentence. death by in
definite postponement. - Their re-
port was opposed by the fighting
insurgent father of the resolution.
But shackled and muzzled, he was
led to the slaughter. Alex Nelson
of Otter Tail County shut off all de-
bate thru the cowardly devise Of
moving :'the previous question. :.
as soon as the matter was placed
before the House. His position
was sustained by a majority. which
of course prevented Mr.. Robinson
or any other member from setting
forth his reason for asking the in
auiry into special interest activity
in state politics. Then there was a
general justification Of votes against
the investigation on the ground
that the House had not sufficient
evidence to warrant such action.
And they voted it down. Where
upon there was great rejoicing
