THE PATHf|NDERS

Lake Telegram tells an interesting
story Of Sheriff j. B. Simpson of
White Pine county:
The New York Sun begins an
editorial in these words:
"In adopting as her cross state
highway the route of the pioneer.
Missouri follows the lead of the
modern pathfinders. The men
who first cut their way through
forests and wild land cared more
for direct available route than a
scenic and picturesque road and
those that came after them have
found the first crude surveys the
best"
When big Sim" was sheriff of
White Pine county, Nevada, he
was given warrant for the arrest
Of two suspected horse thieves.
He took their trail, found his
victims. it IL said, near Fillmore,
in the state IF Utah, and told them
it was lonely road over which he
had come, and he wanted their
company back. They proested
that they were out of his jurisdic-
ton. but he proclaimed his
authority much as did old Ethan
Allen at Fort Ticonderoga-"by
the great Jehovah and the CONT
mental congress" At all events,
they returned with him and " hen
they were about to be arraigned
their lawyer explained to the
court that the whole business was
illegal; that the sheriff who ar
rested them had no possible
authority. al he was far beyond
then boundary of the county and
state.
The late Judge Rives was on the
bench and turning to big Sim
he said: "Did you arrest these
menu" 81 did," was the reply.
"Where did you arrest them?"
was the next question. 'In the
sagebrush east Of here" was the
answer. WAS it in the state OF
Nevada?" asked the Judge. Your

tIons; got the men,"
Go on with the case, Mr.. Dis

and the incident closed. In the
same way the Pike county man
whenhe pulled out for the west had
the zone thought, which was "to
get there" If he met a trapper
or hunter. he probably asked how
the grass was ahead, and If there
was any mountains to cross. The
rest was left to his own instincts
One followed another until there
was road; Then alter long years
came railroad; befor the scream
Of the locomotive the wild beast
and savage man retired, and 10
commerce had new highway.
But Missouri may take full
credit for her part in being a path
finder for the far west. Lewis
and Clark made their real start
for the west in Missouri. Fremont
did the same, and II was Jessie
Fremont's father who, pointing
toward the setting sun, exclaimed:
There lies the route to India"

BOARD Is FIRM; JUDGES SCORED
Chairman Howe Advises Jurists To
Observe lndeterminate Sentence
Law As II Appears in Code.

Des Moines.-Chairman Howe, OF
the state board of parole, has served
notice on those district judges who
pay no attention to the indetermin.
ate sentence law. that the board will
not give consideration to the sen.
fences which they provide.
This board of parole will give no
attention to Discriminate sentences
fixed by district judges" said Chair
man Howe. THE new law fixes the
maximum limit for practically all
crimes and that alone will guide
the board. For instance, in robbery
cases the law fixes not to exceed
ten years in Jail. If a district judge
sentences man to six years that
man will stay the full ten years If
the board thinks he ought to stay.
The district judges have absolutely
no authority to fix sentences definite
ly and they ought to stop the prac'
tice. 1t only tends to create trouble
with prisoners who are given determ'
mate sentences"

Of convenience, the COWS should face

enough for both grain and roughage to

1t is advisable to have two feed alley
