CORRESPONDENCE.
NEWDALE.
(Too Late for Last Week.)

(Too Late for Last Week)
Last Sunday, in response to a call
from the pastor of the M. f. church,
Rev Chas. r. Mathis, the three Sun
day schools of his charge, Swink,
Newdale and Benton, came together
in an all-day convention at Swink.
All three schools were well repre-
sented and much interest and enthus-
iasm were manifested. As the day
was ideal, and expectations of the
good things in store ran high, those
who lived farthest away did not re-
greet the carly rising nor the long
journey.
The forenoon session consisted OF
the regular Sunday school service,
followed by 4 rousing sermon by the
pastor, on the theme, The Bible an
Inspired Book"
After the noon intermission, dur
ing which time an excellent dinner
was served at the parsonage, the
schools united in a song and praise
service. Then followed a series of
interesting and instructive papers
and short talks on the practical prob
lens of the S. s. Those who attend
ed this session for the purpose of re-
ceiving help could not have been dis
appointed. AT the close OF the dis
cussions of practical themes the pro-
gram assumed different nature and
became literary. Each school was
well represented in this part and sew
eral interesting and uplifting selec-
tions were well rendered. Among
these was song of his own compost
ton sung by Rev. Mathis. At five
o'clock the convention adjourned to
meet again at 7:3o.
The evening service began at 7:45
with a united song and praise service
led by the Newdale chapter of Ep-
worth League. After which Rev. y:
C.NThurlow OF Rocky Ford delivered
the message, which was well receiv-
ed and highly instructive. A large
crowd was present. Another one will
be held in the winter at Newdale.

AS result of the fight that has
been made by the Republican papers
against the policy that was being pur-
sued in arranging for the Public
Lands Convention in this city, Gov
ernor Shafroth this week was forced
to invite President Taft to the con-
vention. The invitation went forward
to the president Wednesday and re
qucsted him to be present and ad-
dress the convention. On Friday,
Governor Shafroth appointed list
of delegates-at-large to the conven-
ton.
This does not alter the fact that
every effort has been made to stack
the convention before these two acts
were performed. / is well known
fact that the general list OF delegates
was inspected by those in charge of
the convention before they were pre-
scnted to the proper authorities for
appointment. Conferences were held
by those in charge over practically
every name that would be presented
for appointment. Nevertheless, the
Republican press in general is taking
the position that, if he can, President
Taft should either come to the con
vention or should send some repre-
sentative of the administration, who
is fully qualified to present the gov
ernment's policy with regard to con
servation in the west. To be sure the
convention will resolve against him.
1t has been stacked for that purpose,
but, on the other hand. the president
will have an opportunity to tell the
people of the west the facts about
conservation as he sees it, which
would, to large extent, offset the
criticizing resolutions which have
probably, already been prepared and
which will be adopted. The feature
of the matter to date is the exposition
OF the attempt to pull off a Demo
cratic convention and the forcing oi
those in charge to rescind their for
mer position, which was that no rep
resentative of the government would
be invited

Dry Farming Methods Successful:

Idaho Falls, Idaho. Aug. 2I.-That
dry farming methods, when properly
followed, are successful has just been
demonstrated by Professors Briggs,
Kearnev and Shantz, of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, who in behalf of
the department, have completed an
investigation OF the dry farms in this
valley. Professor Briggs. before
leaving this city. stated that in all
OF the travels of the committee it has
not seen either irrigated or non-ir-
rigated farming which produced bet
ter results than were to be found on
the dry farms here, in the face of the
fact that the year has been one of Sc

The present manner of valuing cor
porate property by the state board OF
equalization as compared with the
manner OF valuinP local property by
the assessors is to be tested in suit
which the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany has brought in the Federal
Court against Pueblo, Otero and El
Paso counties to prevent those coun-
ties from collecting the amount
which is due them under the valua-
ton as placed upon the Santa Fe by
the board of equalization. The board
in arriving at the value of the road.
asccrtained the total value OF the en-
tire system, including tracks, rolling
stock. terminals, and all other proper
ty. 1t then divided the total valua-
ton by the number OF miles and gave
to each mile of road in Colorado a
value equal to ore-third OF that sum.
The Santa Fe claims that in so doing
the board imported terminal values
from Illinois and placed them in Col
orado. The question that arises is,
can terminal values be assessed out
side the state in which the terminals
are located? The suit is brought in
;he Federal Court and temporary
injunction has been issued restraining
the counties named from attempting
to collect the taxes until after the
question is settled. The road also
charges that it is assessed higher
percent according to its-value than
has been charged AGAINST local prop
erty in these counties. The road
maintains that while its property is
placed at onc-third its total value,
the assessment aginst local property
does not amount to twenty per cent
OF its total value.

The Bill provides that no

constituting this to apply to its own
case. The object of the bill was
apparently to remove if possible,

thus afflicted. But if you raise
your eyes from these sad mourners,
up to the high column again and
look closer, at the large procession,
you will see the victims of death
are not prostrated, not sinking
down into darkness and destruction.
No, they are all walking upwards.
Strong rays of light are streaming
forth upon them from above and
are drawing them upwards towards
the full light and they are aware
of these rays. They are enjoying
the light and the warmth and
wandering forth with joy and
happiness into the light and life
eternal.
That is the meaning of this mo-
numcnt-the aim not to depress us,
