Weather Conditions

Birmingham. December 3.-7 P. M)- The weather has been generally cloudy over the northern portion of the country and over the greater portion of the Mis- sissippi valley during the past "A hours. Temneratures have risen slightly over all sections except the Atlantic slope.
 This increase both in cloudiness ana temperatures is the result of the prevail ing falling pressures. An extensive anu very well defined low pressure has moved down from Canada and now overlles the northern Rockies. Other less intense areas overlie the western gulf states and the western lake region.
 Rain has fallen over the northern tier of states from the Pacific eastward to Minnesota, and also over the guif states and the western part of the lower Missis- sippi valley.
 Fair and colder weather prevails over the Atlantic slope, where the pressure is relatively high.
 The pressure is falling steadily over the greater portion of the cotton belt, and as a result the cloudiness noted Monday night over the gulf coast has extended inland and now covers most of the states bordering the gulf Rain was occurring at D. m. in western sections with Pales- tine reporting nearly an inch during the past 2f hours. Temperatures have risen slightly in all sections, except along the Atlantic coast. In Birmingham the mean temperature was II degrees above nor mal Conditions seem favorable for con- tinued warm weather in this section Wednesday,, with the present cloudiness increasing and probably causing rain within the next "A hours.

Will Be Disappointed

Certainly new members of Congress from the north or south or any other section of the country who expect to come to Congress and on their first ap- pearaEce in that body grab a place o1 several important committees, are going to be very much disappointed.
 It happens that Alabama does hold several very important chairmanships, and the majority of the important chair manships are held by southern demo- crats, but this is true because they hap pen to be the ranking members of the House on those committees when the party came into power, and by long service and close application to the duties of the committees they have inherited the charmanships, and they have proven the fact that they are entitled to .heni, by the ability they have shown as lead CTS.
 It is not believed that any serious diff ferences will arise over this question when the next House is organized. New members cannot ask for much, no matter where from and all of the old members of the House who are democrats from the north are perfectly satisfied with their treatment in the past and they ad- nit that there has been no disposition to show favor to southern democrats simply because they are from the south. and all this talk is sprung now 'purely for the purpose of trying to create trouble where there is absolutely no eX- cuse for it.

HAVE
GREAT Time

Sunday evening the members of
the Society Dania entertained
number of their Grand Officers.
who were here on an official visit to
the lodge. Grand President C. w.
Hansen of San Francisco, c. H.
Duborg, Grand Vice President, of
Reno; c. M, Beck, Treasurer, and
Sophus Hartwick, publisher of the
Bier" of San Francisco, made up
the party of visiting members.
At the conclusion of their lodge
work, the members, with their
families, guests and invited friends
enjoyed several hours of dancing at
Valhalla hall At midnight a ban
quet was held at the Hotel Rahbeck.
The tables were beautifully decorat-
ed with flowers and on one side of
the dining room a Danish flag was
draped while directly opposite the
stars and stripes floated from the
wall. The supper was delicious,
and much credit belongs to Mr.. and
Mrs. Rahbeck for this part of the
function.
M. Jacobsen acted as POSTMASTER
and each of the visiting members re-
sponded with remarks, which were
made in the Danish language. They
drank to the health of the visitors
and the long life of the Society
Dania and it was 2 o'clock before
goodnight was said.
Monday the visitors, with the
officers of the local lodge, were en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Jacob
sen. A big spread was served and
all report that they know how to do
things at the Jacobsen home.

HAVE YOU
SIGNED UP?

Some two weeks ago a movement
was begun with the idea of organiz-
ing military company in and for
Douglas county, this company to be-
come one of the battalion of State
Militia or National Guards, now be-
ing organized within Nevada. AS
was stated at the time, this was to
be the last company to be organized
or allowed under the existing laws.
1t was also stated that several other
Nevada communities were anxiously
waiting to see what Douglas county
would do, for in event failure of OBJ
tanning sufficient volunteers, the
opportunity would be withdrawn
from this section. Since the petition
mas been under process of circulation
this section has been mentioned by
papers all over the coast, as being
the one which would have one of the
best and most enthusiastic COM
panies in the state. Thus has Doug
las county already been advertised
to the outside world through this
medium, and if the company is
formed and organized such adver-
Using will not stop. There is a
possibility that the boys of Douglas
county may make an enduring name
for this community, either through
drill or rifle practice, as other
National Guard organizations have
already gone into competition, not
only with other National Guard
organizations, but with the regular
army and achieved honors, which
have brought their particular COM
munities into the lime light.
At first there was much enthus-
iasm over the possibilities offered,
but for some unknown reason EGen-
eral Apathy has taken command,
with the result that, instead OF be-
convinced that the organization of a
company would benefit the COM
munity, the reverse idea seems
prevalent. AS to the question of
dollars and cents, a national guard
company would benefit the COM
munity to the extent of something
like $4,000 a year. The militia in
Douglas county would not be of
benefit to a single community or
settlement, but to the entire county.
If the young men of Douglas
county fail to take advantage of
this important offer at this time,
and by such failure allow company
E to be organized elsewhere, Doug
las county will be overlooking bet,
one which will undoubtedly put her
''on the map" in a way which will
bring pride to every citizen of the

The primary election, insofar as

town, had an exciting fight with
a bobcat one day last week.
"Browning wa- hunting" says the
paper, "and while passing under
some trees down on the Little Mo-
reau river the bobcat leaped down
from an over r-hanging limb onto
his head. He managed to shake
off the animal and only suffered a
few scratches about the face and
neck, however his cap and coat
were badly torn by the cats claws.
After shaking the animal off,
Browning succeeded in killing it
with a couple of well-directed
shots. 1t weighed thirty pounds.

WALL PREACHER MEETS DEATH
n. o. Ross, of Wall, Falls Under
Wheels While Attempting
to Board Train at
Murdo

Rev. H. O. Ross. pastor of the
Congregational church at Wall,
while attempting to board the
westbound accommodation train at
Murdo Monday morning, was in
some manner, thrown under the
wheels of the moving train and his
lower limbs severed. He had de-
llvered sermon in MurdO Sun
day and started for home Monday
morning when the accident occurr-
ed. AS far as we can learn, there
were no eye witnesses to the trag
edy, the time of the departure of
the train being about five o'clock
in the morning, and it being still
dark, neither tralnmen or passen-
gers knew of the disaster. The
injured man was not found for al
most an hour after the accident,
when medical skill was summoned
and he was taken to a place where
he could be given assistance, but
the loss of blood and extreme ex-
posure was too much for human
endurance and he died shortly af-
ter being placed under the care of
physicians.
The remains were shipped to
Wall where the funeral services
were held and irterment made.
Rev. Ross was a married man
and leaves wife and seven child
ren to mourn the loss of father
and husband.
