GOLCONDA CATTLE co.
RECEIVERS ON NOTE

Judge Graham has made an order
which will compel F. A. Hyde, of land
fraud fame, to pay note for $3,057.30
given in January, 1909, to the Golcon-
da Cattle company, an organization in
which Congressman William Kent has
ar interest. Hyde tried to prove
through his attorneys that the note had
been without consideration, but the
Court could no see it that way.
1t appears that Hyde, while engaged
in acquiring government lieu land
a al exchanging it for forest reserve
property, entered into bargain with
the cattle company to secure it 1000
acres of forest reserve land. This was
in October, 1902, and he admits that
he received $500 in payment for the
same, the land to be delivered as rap
idly as possible. AS the company was
anxious to secure the property in as
large parcels as possible the agreement
was that its own agents should do the
selecting. Hyde though that six
months would be time enough for this,
he now says, but as matter of fact,
Congress, when it met in 1905 and re-
pealed the acts of 1900 and 1907, un-
der which the exchanges of lieu for
'orest land were being made, cut off
HYDE from the possibility of fulfilling
his contract. At that time he had put
the company in possession of $4,000
worth of property only. Suit was
threatened on the surplus of money ad-
vanced, and to avoid litigation he
made the note which was the basis of
the present action.
The note being given several years
after Hyde got the money, he thought
that there was no legal considera-

FIRST SHIPMENT
FROM BONANZA

For several days past the Bonanza
Mining company has been sorting the
ore on its dumps on Winnemucca
mountain, and tomorrow the first load
will be hauled in for shipment. AS yet
it has not been definitely decided
where, the ore will be shipped for
treatment, some of the company fav-
oring one place and some another. 1t
can be handled at almost any place, as
the rock is all free milling.
Today 7. H. Murphy will finish his
ditional so feet, making a total depth
of 100 feet. The ledge has been en-.
conutered at the bottom of the shaft,
and from the 50-foot level down the
ore is apparently of uniform value.
A short crosscut will now be run for a
distance of IL or IA feet to strike the
footwall, where the richest values lie.

SELECTING 4 SUPERVISOR.

The auditor, clerk and recorder OF
Lee county will be called upon>to fill
the vacancy on the board of superyis-
ors caused by the death OF 3. D.
Smith, the Fort Madison member OF
the board. Just what disposition these
county officials will make of the mat
ter is not known to The Gate City,
but it is understood that l. y. Hosier.
a former member OF the board, is a
candidate for the place and if such
is the case the appointment could not
be bestowed upon a more competent
or conscientious citizen. He is es-
peciaily we'll qualified for the place
ON account OF his former experience.
He is Fort Madison man and as
successor to Mr. Smith would come
from the locality that the now mourn
ed supervisor was elected to repre-
sent. AT the recent election Mr.. Hos
Ter was solicited to make the race
again for supervisor but was not at
that time in such health to make the
race. Fortunately his health has i'm
proved and he is now able to attend
TO the important duties of a supe1vis-
or. 1t would be an appointment that
The Gate City feels would give salts
faction to the citizens OF Lee county,
because it would bring 10 the office
the ability and experience of man
whom all had learned to respect and
to appreciate. It would be very
gracious act on the part of the DEM
ocratic members of the board to wel-
come Mr.. Hosier back to the Office
for he would be of immediate assist
ance. on accoun. of mis- former mem
bership. The appointment of Mr..
Hosier would make the political COM
plexion of the board two democrats
and one republican. The selection OF
republican to succeed Mr. Smith
could not be criticised because the
precedent was established when a
democrat was selected TO take the
place of j. NJ Bisbee who was the
republican county recorder at the
time of his death. The partisanship
| feature of the case should be elimi-
mated for the good of the service in
this particular case. and The Gate
City feels that it expresses the opin-
ion Of the tax payers of Lee county
in general when it suggests that the
selection of Mr.. Hosier would be a
most beneficial and worthy one.

MISSION or THE RED CROSS SEAL


During the next few days the papers
will contain many references to the
Red Cross seals-the Christmas seals
which serve double purpose. Almost
everybody buys Christmas seals
pretty little emblems Of the ynletide
that are used on various Christmas
packages. A gift does not seem prop
erly prepared unless its wrappings
are fastened with seals. The Red
Cross seals answer this purpose just
as well as do the regulation seals, and
they answer the far greater purpose
of exemplyfying the real spirit OF
Christmas. The spirit of Christmas is
the giving spirit. 1t certainly is
Christmaslike TO bestow comforts on
the afflicted, to bring joy where there
is sorrow. The money derived from
the sale of the Red Cross seals is all
sent on a mission of mercy. 1t is
used where needed in the homes
where the white plague is a menace
The fact ought to induce very large
sale OF the seals this year.

sister and shines with brighter rad
lance, for it is the self-centered
thought of love. The very air is sur
charged with kindness to the others.
All the thoughts of this week will be-
about what Mary will be most pleased
with and how happy mother will be
when she sees that nice-but that. s.
telling and half the pleasure comes
from the concealment. Half the good
of giving comes from keeping the left
hand from knowing what the right
hand is doing Nobody doubts the
pleasure of Christmas morning but
the pleasure of the week before is just
as intense and is longer drawn out.
The morning of Christmas day is rich
in its reverence and smiles, but the
week before Christmas is educational
to the soul and heart The heart be-
gins to sprout at Thanksgiving and it
swells and swells until the week be-
fore Christmas when 1t is ready to
burst out into full bloom from the ac-
cumulated sap of human kindness by
which it has been fed. The week be-
fore Christmas has nevc- had its dues.
The brightest week before Christmas
that ever happened was some twenty
Or fifty years ago-it is tedious to
count dates. You remember all about
Lit. You were a little thing, but you
never in after life were quite SO I'M
portant to yourself There were wfis-
perings which ceased when you enter
ed the room and when you woke up
toward midnight you found the lamp
still burning and your mother still up
and working on something that she
put under the chair when you turned
over In your bed The old turkey COB
bier in the pen was gobbling all day
long TO his former associates on the
loutside and eating corn with glut-
tony which was to bring its own rec
ompense. You found out for the first
time that the business world had been
working over time all year especially
to stock up IN Christmas gifts for
boys and girls. You had your own
gifts for the others hidden where even
one of Poe's wonderful detectives
could not have found them--in the
middle Of the woodpile, or hung down
in the unused stock well in the field.
There Is never a week before Christ
