Sizemose Makes His Getaway

Russell Sizemore's presence is
greatly desired by the Stanley
county authorities. He drove
away from his place northwest of
the city last Wednesday night,
without telling ibis acquaintances
of his destination, and so was not
there when Sheriff Coyne went out
to place him under arrest Friday.
A warrant has been issued
charging Sizemore with a statutory
crime and since his disappearance
cards have been sent out to the
sheriffs of the northwest Offering
$50 reward for his arrest and de-
tention. His alleged victim is a
fourteen year old girl who lives
with her parents near Willard.
That he will be able to keep out of
the officers way very long is not
believed, since there is only one in
existence that will answer his des-
cription. He is thought to have
driven south and taken to the
reservation country beyond In

What is Possible

Southwestern Washington has
little community known as Gray's
River, which stands as an example
of what a group of energetic farm
ers can do, although confronted
with adverse conditions. Virtu-
ally, it is shut off from the outside
world, for its only means of trans
portation is a small river steamer
that plies the twenty miles to
Astoria, Oregon, whenever the tide
will permit.
These people wisely concluded
that their hopes lay in marketing
concentrated products, to consist
almost entirely of butter, eggs,
dressed veal, poultry and pork.
The combination of the dairy COW,
the hen and the hog has made good,
and helped to build a community
of contentment and prosperity.
The same forethought that guild
ed them in the selection of pro-
ducts to be produced has been
manifested in the advancement of
their dairy industry. One finds
them almost unanimous in the
raising and breed of dairy cattle.
They have built up their dairy
herds by the use of pure-bred sires
of their chosen breed. In the pur-
chase of sires, it has not been a
question of price so much as
question of efficiency. Sires of
proven merit have been exchanged
within the community, and their
period of usefulness thus very
greatly prolonged.
In order that every COW may be
made to pay profit, many of
them weigh and test the milk from
each COW, and weed out the unpro-
fitable ones. And to further add
to the profit from their limited
resources, and to conserve the
fertility of their soil, they are
growing clover and making good
use of their barnyard u. anure.
AS a result, one finds substantial
and well arranged barns, comfort
able homes, with many modern
conveniences, and a contented and
happy people.

EDITOR KERNER IS INJURED
Leg Broken When Thrown from

E. II. Kerner. editor of the
Pilot at Ash Creek, was the victim
of lamentable accident Friday
evening, resulting in injuries that
will take weeks to heal. He was
returning from the office at Ash
Creek to his homestead few miles
northeast of Grindstone. A wheel
of the buggy in which he was rid
ing struck washout and he was
thrown out, landing on the ground
in such a manner as to break his
left leg, a compound fracture of
the bone about six inches below
the hip being the result. The ac-
cident hap pened about four o'clock
and he was found about nine
o'clock by neighbofs. He was
taken to a ranch nearby and DR..
Heinemann telephoned for. The
injured man was given immediate
attention, taken to Cottonwood
and from there to Lead, where he
was placed in the Homestake hos
pital. The break is a very bad
one, but DIR. Heinemann assures
us that the patient is getting along
very satisfactorily and there are
no prospects of serious results.

bound to succeed, and that's the

Semi Centennial Anniversary

Memorial day this year will be
in commemoration of the semicen-
tennial of the cruel war. There is
comfort in the fact that the battle
fields of the republic have been
covered by SO many years, and that
meanwhile SO many wounds have
been healed. But there is deep
solemnity in that other fact that
SO many graves are opened to
receive, as the months pass, the
scattered remnants of the veterans
who fought the best they knew.

SILENT GROWTH OF EMPIRES
Census Developments Show States
Great Growth in Population

The nation grows, expands, along
several lines, each having it's own
story to tell, and the story of each
being essential to the completed
tale. China has population, so has
India, and each is striving in our
time to bring about conditions that
will balance numbers with achieve
ments. Population, us such, is
only one phase of American
growth. If there had not been
growth along other lines it would
not be very pleasureable phase.
The presence of population having
been revealed by the count, the
next thing is to find out what this
population is doing toward its own
sustenance and advancement, and
what it is contributing toward the
general progress of humanity.
Bulletins from the census bureau
containing the desirable facts will
be issued at intervals for some
time to come. One of the latest
of these has to do with manufac-
turers in the west. 1t shows, as
might have been expected, tremen-
dols growth during the ten years
that elapsed since the previous
census was taken. Every state
and territory shows an increase in
the percentage of capital invested
in the various industries. If in
three or four instances these in
creases are small, they are COM
pensated for by the increased pro-
duction of old plants. In capital,
of course, the percentage increases
are heaviest in the newer states;
in the territories industrial under
taking had to be built from the
ground up. Thus the increase in
capital in New Mexico is SO per
cent, in Oklahoma 141, in Arizona
1913, in Wyoming III, in Idaho
234. On the other hand, as init
mated above, the percentage of
production increase is more evenly
distributed over the western terri
tory, except that it jumps far
above the normal in Oklahoma and
Idaho.
The group of states which in
cludes New Mexico, Arizona,
Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Missouri,
Wyoming, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas and Utah produces about
one-tenth of the national output of
manufactured articles. The manu-
featuring concerns employ about
$4,000 salaried clerks and about
100000 wage-earners. The annual
pay rolls amount to about 1915,
100000 a year. While the growth
of western manufacturers has been
great, there is nothing to show
that it is of character to disturb
or seriously to injure the industry
of any other section of the country,
1t is a growth that is keeping pace
simply and naturally with a de-
velopment that is national and
wholesome. Christian Science

Danger On The Mexican Border

Danger On The Mexican Border
We had hoped that by this time
the danger on the Mexican border
would be a matter of history.
Unfortunately, the leaders of the
insurrection can not control their
own men, and there is grave danger
that a condition of anarchy is
rising in almost every state of our
sister republic.
Too great praise can not be given
President Taft for his refusal to
intervene, or to declare war, or to
create such a condition of things
as will lead congress to declare
war. He has taken his stand firm
ly against Intervention, and has
given good and sufficient reasons
not only for massing the army on
the frontier, but for holding it
there until until congress specifi-
cally makes declaration of war.
There is a very considerable
portion of the American people
who are anxious for war with
Mexico. Some of the land pro-
moters would be very glad of
an opportunity for exploiting and
settling up the great estates in
which land is held in the best part
! of Mexico. They fear that their
raw material is largely used up in
the United States, and chance to
colonize Mexico would be god
send.
Then there is large class of
people interested in the manu-
facture of materials used in war,
in the building of ships, the manu-
facture of cannon and other fire.
arms, and all sorts of ammunition
used in war. If war were declared,
every factory of this kind would
be working on full time and there
would be a marked revival of these
industries, of which they are in
need.
Then we have a class of politi-
clans who would welcome anything
which would divert attention from
the problem of working out the
reforms on which the people are
determined. The Spanish war
put back the work of reform from
five to ten years; and foreign war
which would give our people some
thing else to think about would
enable a lot of hoary abuses to re-
main untouched.
Then again, there is a large
amount of property owned by
Americans and American corpora
tions in Mexico. We have a class
of men who look upon property as
more sacred than human life itself;
and they would regard the con-
quest of that country as exceeding
ly desirable, as it would furnish
them an opportunity to exploit the
mineral resources, as the land
spectators would like to exploit
the land. Again, we have a lot of
pure jingoes, who are always spoil
ing for fight, provided somebody
else does the actual fighting.
! Against all these classes the
president has stood 6rm, and in
this he is backed up by the best
men in both houses of congress,
and by the. conscience of the
Ameican people. Nothing he has
done during his entire career is so
praiseworthy as this stand that he
has taken for fair dealing with
Mexico, and particularly so be-
cause some of our own citizens
were more anxious to see . battle
than to protect their own lives,
and have been accidentally killed.
