Union Pacific Not Responsible
OMAHA, NEB.. August ~, 1911
Editor, Grit Advocate,
Julesburg, Colorado.

Cultor, Uflt-AQVOcaCe,
Julesburg, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
From time to time merchants and
other business men along our lines, are
solicited to go into advertising schemes
involving the use of Union Pacific time
cards or maps, and. from information
that has reached us, am led to to be-
leive that the advertising solicitors
sometimes convey the impression that
the Union Pacific is primarily, or re.
motely interested in these schemes.
Without attempting to pass on the
merits of this form of advertising, l
desire to say that the Union Pacific is
not interested in it, in any way what
soever, and l would be very glad
if you will say so to your readers in
the columns of your paper. Any such
solicitor of advertising. who represent
himself as being connected with this
Company, either directly or indirectly,
is fraud and should be so treated.
Yours truly.

Bread Cast Upon Waters

One of the Denver's well known
citizens, Mr.. Phillip Argall furnished
our correspondent the following story
of the Wireless: On the accession of the
recent wreck on the passage of Alaska,
in which so many citizens of western
States were involved and their lives en-
dangered, the wireless telegraph came
constantly to their relief and in one
case was the carrier of friendship and
unexpectant assistance.
During the first night of great dis
comfort and anxiety, when all the res.
cued were crowded on ship already
carrying full complement of passen-
gers, when the excitement of the res
cue had abated and the real loneliness
and wretchedness of the situation was
borne in upon the victims and when
they were trying to sleep on benches,
chairs, decks and in every conceivable
position, the wireless operator on the
rescuing steamer came to our friends,
Mr.. Argall, and asked him if he was
from Denver and if he was member
of DR.. Coyle's Central Presbyterian
Church. He admitted both charges,
wondering what was going to happen
to him this time. The operator went
away again and soon came back with
another message that some one in Sc
attic was waiting his command to make
any provision that he requested and
friends would meet him on the warf.
1t so happened that some member of
Central Church who remembered Mr..
Argall's open-handed generosity to
others, some years past, is now living
in Seattle and has son who is in charge
ST the Wireless Station. and out uf the
wreck and disaster came the reward
of the past kindness, and the bread
cast upon the desert came home upon
the raging waters, at time when human
kindness was most needed and the re-
membrance of a friend was grateful as
never before.

Why we Don't

L Occasionally we are asked why we do
ot publish all that happens. 1t is for
vhnate for these particular individual
that discretion occasionally demands
the omission of unpleasant items.
Should we publish all that is told us
we would be with the angels in about
20 minutes after our papers We're mail
ed We try to print all items that are
news, or that will encourage help or
cheer any of our citizens along life's
rugged road. We all doubtless would
enjoy reading 'all the news" when its
about the other fellow, but we never
cared to lend aid to the gossips in the
spreading of scandals that only leave
sorrows in their trail.

Typewriter Machines in slam.

Vice Consul General Hansen, at

Department that a large number OF
typewriting machines are sold every
year in Siam and hat those Of Amer.
lean make appear to be the most pop

fitted with siamese type, but many
Of the natives retain the English
characters, however, and it is thought
that the Introduction of this type will
have great deal to do with the final
abolition of the ancient sIamesd
characters and the use Of the stand,
ard keyboard.
So far the sales of only two Amer
lean machines have been pushed in
Siam. These sell in Bankok at $50
to 400 ticals, or $3.50 to s167, each. A
widely advertised English machine
only IT'S to $50 ticals- $65 to S95-
but it has been found to be Of inferior
