This was the most important work
Of the afternoon, but in connection
with this a communication was read
to the conference from the New YORK
conference. This letter contained three
resolutions. First, that the office OF
the district superintendent Is super
nuous. That 1t is a great expense TO
any conference TO maintain these eld-
ers. and the office could be elimlnat-
ed and the superintendents placed in
charge.
Second. that bishops with larger
circuits than those in charge of the
district superintendents could be
stationed with greater advantage and
less expense TO the churches.
Third, that lay delegates should be
represented in the assembly of the
conference.
Resolutions Adopted.
These resolutions were read by the
secretary and occasioned many stir
ring debates. Judge Killetts chap
ioned the resolutions and spoke warm
~ i'm their favor. He stated that these
resolutions enveloped the sentiments
that have been expressed and felt by
the members of the conference for
many years and that now was the
time to consider the question. After
number of speeches on this sub
iect, the motion carried and the re-
solutions adopted.
An amendment to the constitution
was provided for changing the date
of the opening of the conference from
the first Wednesday in May to the
| first business day in May.
Rev. ]. H. Fitzwater and Rev. c,

A PIONEER GONE
Came To Audubon County In Year Of
1876. Gone To Monte Christie,
Texas To Reside

Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Shingledecker, who
have lived in Audubon County for IS
years or more are transferring their in
terest to the Sunny South Land.
Wishing more congenial climate in
which to reside during the sunset Of.
their lives have chosen Monte Christie,
the Utopia of the United statss-as
their abiding place hsnceforth. They
have certainly used good judgment in
choosing their new home. Near
enough to the tropics to raise tropical
fruits and vegetables and far enough
from the wintry zephyrs of the north
land to sympathize with their friends
left behind. The Shingledeckers are
first class people and the County is un-
fortunate in losing them. May success
be theirs.

HUNT MOUNTAIN SHEEP
W. c. Harmed, Who Went Into Noun
tains Of Northern Wyoming Sends
Back Trophy Of His Prowess

A report of an interesting hunting
expedition comes from the far West
together with generous portion of
rocky mountain sheep to bear evidence
to the ''folks at home" that the tale is
true.
Mr.. w. G. Harmed, son of Rev.
Harmed, of Extra, was one of the party
which went, early this month up into
the RAMS Horn Mountains in north
ern Wyoming, to hunt mountain sheep.
OF all of Americas big game, it is the
wariest and most difficult to get. Its
home is in the highest, widest and
most inaccessible parts of the noun
tain ranges of the West. Merely to get
up into the places where the sheep
dwell, taxes the strength Of the ordi-
nary hunter. But to find them there
and, finding them, to geta "bead" on
them before they whisk from sight be-
hind some crag or down into some far
away canyon, is still another matter;
and the man who lays one low must be
lucky as we'll as skillful, while to reach
the spot where it fell and to bring it
back again across yawning chasms and
over sheer precipices il some imes the
most difficult thing of all.
At any rate, Mr.. Harmed, who is a
skillful huntsman, WAS likewise lucky,
and succeeded in bringing one of the
creatures down. Getting it into camp
proved Herculean task, involving q
night adventure in . dep canyon,
which the hunters sought to follow
down to the lowlands. A noisy noun
tain stream occupied the canyon floor,
and they followed it until they reached
place where the stream plunged with
roar into abysmal depths somewhere
below. A member of the party was
lowered oyer the edge by blanket in
the hope that hs might find bottom.
He failed; but he dislodged a stone
from the wall beside him and listened.
1t fell SO long before striking bottom
that he asked to be raised up very
quickly. This was the signal for a
weary tramp in impenetrable darkn IS
back up into the mountains again, for
the canyon was SO narrow that they
could not camp.
The point is that they finally brought
the sheep out of the mountains, des-
pite difficulties. Some of it came to
Exira and We Journal editor partook of
a portion one day this week.

TO FERRET OUT GRAFT
The Iowa Taxpayers Association EN-.
ploys Inspector To Work In Every
County In The State Of Iowa

For many years, a custom has grown
among dealers, that have business rela-
tions with public officials, that is a
menace of good business principles, as
well AZ good morals. Every man in q
public Office is aware of it, and if he is
an honest and honorable official he is
humiliatsd by the stigma that is
thrown on him, and his Office by less
scrupulous officials. In the past twen-
ty years merit of the article to be sold
does not enter into the transaction If
the buyer is making the purchase for
the public. In all cases the seller holds
out q consideration to the official,
which in many cases is accepted, and
the salve to hi, conscience is that they
all do it," We, who live in close COM
munity, like Guthrie County, do not
suffer from this species of graft like the
more densely populated cities and
counties, but we have been informed
that it has been attempted here. The
fact that the attempt to bribe the Off

evidence that if it had succeeded moth
ing would have been said about il. Ac-
ton blythe Taxpayers of the state to
stop this method of securing business,
is taking form and the following letter
received by one of the trustees, explains
itself.
Dear Sir:-During the last few years
the corrugated pipe concerns in this
state have been paying commissions to
township Trustees in payment for or
ders given them for Corrugated Cul-
vert Pipe.
This Association has arranged to en-
ploy an inspector in every County of
the state and with the assistance of
your County Attorney, proposes to pro-
sscute every official receiving any dis
counts, commissions or bribes, in pay
ment for orde S for corrus ated culvert
pipe road tools etc., from either COM
pany or its agents.
A violation of the statute means two
years in the penitentiary, so govern
yourselves accordingly.

Aboard Steamship Fernando Poo
At Sea, November 20, 1911
J. w. B. Cole,
Dear Friend: We are having fair
weather now, and we are just coming
out of the Red Sea into the Indian
Ocean. arrived at Port Said, Egypt,
Nov. 18th at 2:30 p. m. and went ashore
at 400 p. m. only had 31a hours
ashore SO l spent most of my time run
ming around the streets and writing
post cards to my friends. Port Said is
city composed of most every race on
earth and is the western terminal of
the great Suez Caual. There are about
fifteen or twenty ships here all the
time. The city is built of stone and
the houses are very much like the hou-
ses of Spain. The Egyptians are a
brown race as I suppose you already
know and they are nearly all Moham-
medans. They dress almost the same
as we do especially in Port Said, with
the exception of hats for they wear red
turbans on their head and the Natives
compare favorably 10 the Americans in
Size
At 1880 p. m. we sailed from Port
Said for Suez through the Canal which
is only IS miles away but which took
US until 2:so p. m. the next day to get
there. We passed down through the
Canal and on one side fifty feet away
We could see the sandy desert of Africa
and on the other side was Asia. We
passed many ships while passing thre'
the Canal and also in the Red Sea. We
have hardly been out Of sight of some
ship. We arrived at Suez at $50 p. m.
Nov. 18th and passed ont into the Red
Sea. We only stayed at Suez one hour
and half and at 400 p. m. we sailed
for Alden in Arabia.
Nov. 18th the weather was fine and
the Red Sea as smooth as ice the sun
was very hot and had to put on my
light clothes. We made 235 miles.
Nov. 18th, weather was fine, sea
smooth. We made 2s6 miles. The
heat is fierce.
Nov. 10Th, weather fins, sea smooth
We made 2S5 miles.
Nov Goth, weather fine but warm,
sea somewhat rough. We are passing
out of the Red Sea into the Indi n
Ocean Land in sight ahead. We
made 265 miles up to now. We are due
at Alden sometime tomorrow before
noon. Alden is only 244 miles away
and | will tell you what I have seer
there from the next port l stop al
which will be Colombo on the Island
of Ceylon providing nothing happens.
Goodbye and give my best regards t.
all my old Audubon County friends.
