The trust question. by enforce

solving itself and is maintaining the

Tuesday evening the Press published
a dispatch from Sacramento bringing
The word that the state highway COM
mission has ordered accepted the sur
vey for the state highway from san
Diego to Ell Centre. A few days earli-
er the Press had received a telegram
saying that Engineer Fletcher of the
commission had recommended that
such a survey be made. In view of the
earlier telegram. it was thought the
later one implied that the survey had
been ordered made.
More comprehensive reports now
coming, however, indicate that the sur
Ney has actually been ordered accepted
and bids called for the road. As a
matter of fact, the route has been thor
oughly surveyed hy the engineers Of
San Diego and Imperial counties. and
Engineer Fletcher is known to have
gone over the road several times and
checked m the route To- he followed
from the data which had been fur
nished him by the two county sur
NeyorS.
The present indications, therefore,
are that he has accepted these coun-
ty surveys as the state survey.
The statement published in other
papers, however, that bids are called
for, must be taken with a grain of salt
IN connection with dispatch to the
Press printed below. including a short
age of money for road building.

1t may be interesting information
to many to know that preachers of
the gospel like other people, do not
always find their lines falling in pleas
ant places, but have to battle with
life and meet every event that comes.
Some heretofore umwritten history in
the life of DR.. c. C. Weith, published
in the st. Louis Republic of Sun
day, Oct. 27, may interest you:
On the back of a COW pony Rev. G..
C. Weith, one of the new members
of the state board of education, trav-
ersed 500 miles of southwestern pan
handle to reach desirable entrance
to the promised land that was opened
to settlement in Oklahoma in 1898.
He is a pioneer of the Cherokee
Strip and was once possessed of a
valuable homestead in what is now
Garfield county A graduate of the
normal department of the Valparaiso
university, being a resident of that
state for fourteen years to 1885, Weith
was among the intrepid young bloods
from the tenderfoot districts whose
geographical knowledge became prac-
teal in surveying one of the greatest
Indian reservations opened to settle
ment in the west.
-Four cowboys and myself, with
twenty horses, left Syracuse, kas.,
several days before the opening OF
the Cherokee Strip, determined to
encircle that great body of land until
we found a desirable point of en-
trance said Weith. I'VE crossed
the western part of Kansas and en-.
tered the panhandle of Texas, turning
south and skirting the western bor-
der of the Cherokee Strip.

turned east and followed the line to
the present site of Hennessey. There

awaiting the firing of the gun that
was the signal to enter the strip. We
had fine horses and they were suf-
