HERE'S A REAL GEM

''IN regard to whether the county di-
vision would tend to discredit the pres
ent county administration or not, the
answer is: Get the resolutions adopted
by the Keota Commercial Club when it
first decided to work for a division of
the county. Read it carefully. That is
our answer to that question. Are we
going to sustain those resolutions?
say no, and for one am going to fight
the proposition clear to the Governor Of
the State. "-E. G. Hoyt in Raymer En-
terprise.
Acting on Mr.. Hoyt's suggestion the
News editors have been busy trying to
unearth those resolutions. D. w.
Schoonover, secretary Of the club, was
interviewed, and professed entire ig-
norance in the matter; if any snch reso-
lutions were passed he was not there to
record them. w. R. Stewart, president
of the club, got his first information
about the resolutions from the Hoyt ar
ticle. Members are unanimous in the
assertion that the resolutions exist only
in fervid imagination.

ANOTHER GEM

"WELD COUNTY has no debts, the
taxes are lower on our people out here
than any other place that you can find,
taking actual valuation of property and
everything into consideration. '-Hoyt.
Very true. 1t is not everywhere that
spectators and land grabbers can hold
idle land and pay taxes on it at an as
sessed valuation Of only one dollar an
acre.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES


~ says "His.ory repeats itself" And
here are two stories, set in far separated
countries, which may serve to illustrate
the saying.
The 6rst of the incidents concerns 4
German city of the eleventh century, at
time when there was a general revolt
of the towns of western Europe against
the expressions Of their fcudal lords.
Ii was in the year 1898 that the burgh-
es of Rhineland city, finding the exac-
tions of their overload too intolerable to
be borne, rebelled against him. A stub
born struggle followed, the baron, who
claimed the city as his personal property,
camping before it with his army of hired
braves.
For weeks the warfare continued. The
attacking army pressed ever closer to the
gates of the city. The meal in the bins
grew low and lower. Starvation stared
the burghers in the face, and from all the
streets Of the city there rose plaintive
moaning, even the cry of children for
bread.
There were many of these little mouths
to be fed and the sound of their wailing
pierced the hearts of the mothers of the
city as they fought beside their husbands
on the walls.
Then there came to the beleaguered city
a message from neighboring town which
lay outside the realm of the warning baron.
"Send your little ones to u.s. it read.
"We will feed them till the savage fight
is over"
So when the next morning dawned the
mothers formed long procession of their
children and. leading them under flag
of truce. they issued from the chief gate
to make their plea kneeling before their
lord.
..Let our little ones go forth from the
city, they begged. ''See how their
young eyes are sunk deep in blue hollows,
and how their baby bones seem to start
through the Aesh."
But the baron jeered: "Back! Back
with them into your novels. Let the
whelps of the litter starve." And the
bandit soldiery beat and MANNED them.
X X X x
The other tale is modern, its scene be-
ing laid in rich manufacturing city of
America, ..the land of plenty
As it happens, the people Of the whole
country have long been taxed to keep in
fatness the lords of the eity (the mediae-
val term may we'll be employed here I,
paying toll to them every time they bought
wooden carmen, to keep out the cold and
the wet. But none of that toll has been
used by those lords to make gentler the
lot of the laborers of their realm.
Finally the toilers rose against the bar
ons, and, as in the case of the ancient
city, the lords brought their hired soldiery
to suppress the revolt.
And now still another resemblance be-
tween the old town and the new has es-
tablished itself, since friendly folk of an
other commonwealth sent word to the
mothers of the hunger-girt city, ''Lend
US your little ones and we will feed and
clothe them until your trial-time is past. !"
So the women gathered some of the
children in procession and led them to the
railway station, which seemed to them as
the gateway to plenty. But the lords Of
the city would not have it so. "'Back,
back with the brats to your novels and
your empty aourbins!" they cried, and

DR.. Ellis spoke of the good work
that is done by lodges, but repudiated
the lodge as a substitute for the
church. "When the lodge member be-
comes so absorbed in his organization
that he has no. time for the church,
the lodge should be given up"

Loss in Basement.
The principal loss to the contents Of
the building will probably be in the
basement, where the company had
stored several thousand dollars worth
of advertising matter. for both the fur
mace company and the Quick Action
Range Company. Altho tarpaulins were
spread over the printed matter it is
feared that there will be severe loss
from water damage.
The loss to the building has been es-
timated at s2,00O,. and the building
could not be replaced for that amount.
On this loss the company carried ST.

building the company carried $4,000

more than cover the loss.
