SUDDEN DEATH
FROM APOPLEXY
John w. Bennett, Old War
Veteran, Found Helpless
Passes Away.

,,. Early last Friday morning John
W. Bennett, living at his place
south OF town, was found on the
oank of the little creek which
passes through his place, in a
helpless condition brought about
by a stroke of apoplexy.
MIR. Bennett, who was 72 years
old, was making his home on a
small tract of land which he own
ed and was taking his meals with
the family of Jimmie Gregg, who
lives on his place. Not coming
to his breakfast at the usual hour
friday morning from his house
across the creek, Jimmie went
over to see what the matter was.
Not finding the old gentleman at
the house he called and receiving
a talnt answer in the direction of
the creek, went there where| he
found HIM lying just across on
The other bank where he had lfal-
len when struck with the disease.
Mr.. Bennett was only able to say
a few words after being found,
put made the family underst tand
that he had not felt well and
had started over to get some hot
water In which to bath his feet
and sustained the stroke just as
he was crossing the creek.
Deceased was man of good
address and pleasant hammered,
and is said at one time to have
been well fixed in this world s
goods. He had met with re-
verses of late years, and recently
had proved up on "a homestead
near town. He also owned the
small tract Of land where he lived.
lie was an old civil war veteran
and was drawing a pension of $12
per month at the time of his
death.
His nearest relatives it would
seem were two nephews. j. w.
Bennett, Jr., of Gate, Wash, and
Russell Bennett, of Rollins, Wyo.,
whom he had raised, and who
were telegraphed for. Both came
promptly in response to the call
and were here in attendance at
the funeral on Tuesday.
The funeral services were held
at the Baptist church, at 2 p. m.,
the sermon being preached by
Rev. Thompson, and the services
at the grave being conducted by
the members of the G. A. r. post,
and Undertaken Graham.

about five miles from town up

to the justice court Tuesday,
charged with an attempt to kill

taking two shots at Mr.. Kitchen,

WILL CALL SCHOOL BOND
ELECTION.

Owing to the continued favor
with which the question of new
school building is meeting with
the people, and owing also to
requests for the submission of a
bond issue, the school board has
practically decided to call such
an election. Before, however,
this election is called there will
be further conference with citi-
zens and taxpayers of the town
in order to determine finally the
question of submission and also
to be able to fix the amount nee
essary to be voted for a first
class building, as well as deter
mining upon the proper course
to pursue in order that there
may be no factional fight over
the question, and that all may
pull together for that which is for
the good OF the whole. The indi-
cations are that people are ready
to meet each other half way in
the question Of location and build
ing.
The school board is influenced
also in this decision by the de-
mand for placing in the school
manual training and domestic sci
ence. 1t has come to the point
where, if the school would keep
abreast with the progressive
moves OF other towns, there must
oe facilities supplied for carry
ing out of these practical courses
of study. There is, too, an urgent
demand for a gymnasium. For
years there has been a place
where the boys and girls of the
.own could play basket ball but

The People Still Own Valuable
Water Powers.

A study of western rivers by
Geological Survey engineers has
developed the fact that many very
great water powers are still own
ed by the government. A large
number OF power-site Withdrawals
have been made by the president
on the recommendation of the
Geological Survey since May, 1909
when the first of these recommen-
datlons was made. The power
site Withdrawals now outstanding
aggregate 1,747 ,522 acres, distrib-
uted along the important power
streams of the western States
Reservoir Withdrawals have also
been made to the extent of 94,9O8

These Withdrawals have been
made in anticipation of much need
ed legislation, the present gold
placer law under which oil or
gas land must be acquired being
inadequate and resulting in fraud
and waste. 1t is also evident that
the government should retain sup
ply of petroleum for the Ameri-
can navy, in which every ship
is now equipped with oil-burning
boilers.

Great Phosphate Reserve Owned
by Uncle Sam.

Another mineral resource of
the public domain that is of great
potential value is the rock phos-
phate of Idaho, Wyoming, Utah,
Montana, and Florida. In the
discovery and classification of the
lands containing it the Geologi-
cal Survey has contributed not
ably to the welfare of the farm
ing interests, for phosphate is
n necessary plant food, being in
deed equal to potash as fertiliz-
er. The worlds supply of phos-
phate rock is very meager, but
fortunately the largest known de-
posits have been recently discov-
cred in the public-land States.
AS result Of geological examina.

lands now stand withdrawn await
