Bills In the Legislature

I've got letter, parson, from my son away out west, An my ol' heart is heavy as an anvil in my breast, To think the boy whose futur' had once so proudly planned should wander from the path O right an come to sich an end; told him when he left us only three short years ago, He'd find himself a-plowin' in mighty crooked row; He'd miss his fathers counsels, an his mothers prayers, too, But he said the farm was hateful an he guessed he'd have to go. know thar's big temptation for a youngster in the west, But believed our Billyhad the courage to resist, An when he left warned him of the ever-waitin' snares That lie like hidden sarpints in life's pathway everywheres. But Bill he promised faithful to be keerful, an allowed He'd build reputation thatd make Us mighty proud, But it seems as how my counsel sort Q faded from his mind,
  An now the boys in trouble O the very wustest kind! His letters came so seldom that some how sort O knowed That Billy was a-trampin' on mighty rocky road, An in the dust'd waller his ol' daddy's s honored name. He writes from out in Denver, an the story's mighty short; I just can't tell his mother. it'll crush her poor ol' heartl An so reckoned, parson, you might break the news to her Bills in the legislatur', but he doesn't say what fur.

CATTLE RANGES GOING FAST
Public Ranges Rapidly Receeding Be- fore On Coming Rancher
 Supply Declining

The big cattle ranches have reached their Hast ditch in their retreat before the settler, which has resulted in the declining supply of beef cattle in the United States available for packing houses of Chicago and other cities. The
 last ditch" appears to be the Rio Grand, for cattle buyers at the Chicago yards now point to the fact that the next convention of the Texas Panhandle Cattle Growers Association will be held at Fl Paso, which is not in the panhandle" at all. They dwell on the fact that ten years ago the greatest cattle shipping point in the world was Amarillo, for that was the heart of the great free range country which now has been cut up into smaller tracts for farms. The cattle rancher has either had to turn 10 farming the thousands of acres in his one time pastures or retreat further west, This year Amarillo would stare at cow-puncher as curi- osity, almost, said a cattle buyer.
 l hear they are trying to get the flour millers' state association to meet there and that fact just about tells the story. Wheat instead of beef, that is the crop to-day down there, and the rush of farmers to the Texas Panhandle means the same in other states that once were cattle states. The number of cat tie on the farms and ranches in Iooe was nearly million head less than in 1908 and in 1910 the de- cline was even greater. There is only one result, beeves will be higher later on, although for the next few months cattle prices will be on a sag. There has got to be a lively increase in beef growing on the farms to make up for such changes as have taken place in the range country of other days. The growers of beef will be we'll paid. '" Report of the United States De partment of Agriculture show that the cattle other than milk cows numbered 7,I3I,ooo in 1909 as compared with 5I, 566, GOO in Ioo6. In Montana, Wyoming and other cattle states, the changes show the inroads of the farmer with cows instead of beeves, a decline of the numbers of beef cattle and increase in the number of COWS, and enor- nous increase in the acreage in crop.

CAPTAIN JARVIS
BORN IN BERLIN
Was an Alaskan Hero and Had
Received a Medal For
Resculng WhaIers.

Captain David H. Jarvis, who COM
mittee suicide in Seattle, last Friday,
was born in Berlin, this county, August
oath, 1862. and was member of the
well known Jarvis and Truitt families of
Worcester county. His father was Z.
II. Jarvis, of Berlin, and his mother
Sallie M. Truitt. daughter of David
Truitt. of Berlin.
Graduating from the Central High
School. in Philadelphia, Jarvis entered
the Revenue Cutter Service in 1881,
graduating as cadet in 1888. He was
the youngest cadet in the service and
when he became lieutenant, in 1888.
he was the youngest man Of that rank.
Serving on various stations in the
Revenue Cutter Service until 1888, Capt
ain Jarvis had since then been continu-
ously identified with Alaska and Artic
waters, except in the winter of 1894. He
was in command of the overland relief
expedition to Point Barrow during the
winter of 1897 and 1898. when he sue
ceeded in rescuing the ice-bound whalers
and received hero's gold medal and
the thanks of Congress. He was also
in command Of the revenue cutter Bear
when she made her most famous trip to
Alaskan waters in 1899, and in the fol-
lowing year was assigned to especial duty
at Nome. In 1902 he became collector
of customs for the district of Alaska,
but still retained his status in the Reve-
nue. Cutter Service. In 1906 he severed
his connection with the Government,
having entered the service of the Nor
gan-Guggenheim syndicate. He soon
became confidential man, treasurer and
general manager, with headquarters at
Seattle.
When he returned from his expedi-
tion he was praised as hero by Presi-
dent Mckinley in message to Con-
gress. In the past two years he had
been condemned and criticised before
Congressional committees by opponents
of the Alaska syndicate, and at the
present time Judge Wickersham, the
Alaskan Delegate in Congress, is urging
the adoption Of resolution calling upon
the Department of Justice to explain
why it did not prosecute Jarvis in con-
nection with what is known popularity
as the "Guggenheim war;" in the Key
stone canyon fight in Alaska, when a
force of Guggenhein workmen under
Jarvis and others fired into and killed
several citizens who tried to construct
railroad through the canyon against
the will of the Guggenheim crowd,
which had previously indicated that it
did not care to use the canyon.
Jarvis was treasurer of the Alaska
Katalla Syndicate Company, one of the
Morgan-G -Guggenheim concerns. 1t is
said that Jarvis was once offered the
Governorship of Alaska; in fact, the
charge was made last year in sworn
statement submitted to Senate inves-
tigating committee that he was offered
this place and declined it because he was
then employed by the Alaska syndicate
and retained as its confidential agent.

Editors Messenger, Snow Hill, Md.
Gentlemen 1T is almost impossible
for me to write to all the folks Of Wor-
cester and just tell them in heart to
heart manner how much appreciate
the privilege of attending the 18th In
ternational Sunday School Convention,
which pleasure was made possible by
them.
] should thank you very much IL you
could allow me short space in your
columns. just to say few words in an
effort to show my appreciation of the
manner in which our Sunday School peo-
pie so eagerly took hold of the matter.
had long been entertaining a sort of
desire to attend the great Rally of the
nations Sunday School leaders, though
altogether without any hope of doing so.
At the last moment, however. the un-
expected privilege and honor came to
me. secured my credentials and has
tily departed for San Francisco, the
chosen city for the activities of this
great Convention. My credentials con-
stitute me Maryland's delegate, but you
know | had rather count myself Wor-
cester's representative.
The time is not far distant when Wor-
cester County is going to have within
her confines Sunday School organiza-
tion which shall be an honor to her peo-
pie, a credit to her churches, and a
mighty force for the education and
Christianization of her people. How do
! know?
Why, | know we are going to have it
because we want it, Because when we
want it we will go to work for it, and
when we go TO work for it we will get
it.
We are just now getting into line.
Six months ago our county would hard
ly thought of sending representative
across the continent. It's a credit to the
county of Worcester, and an honor to
the President of her Association, worthy
OF much larger man. We are just
beginning to get the larger vision, and
l feel confident, that with such sympa-
thy and earnest support the work in
Worcester will take on proportions of
greater magnitude, that the Sunday
School spirit is going to so get hold of
the people that we shall soon have a
live, energetic, enthusiastic, and eff
cient corps of workers, all spending
their energies for the promotion of the
Sunday School interests and the saliva
tion of our boys and girls.
Again thanking the people of Wor-
cester for their splendid show Of inter-
est in the Sunday School work, am
yours for success
