TRIP TO JARB|OGE


To the Editor,
My missionary trip into Jar
bidge was delight. From Charles
ton to Jarbidge and return we
travelled by pack train," and the
work Of assisting to break trail
was little strenuous, because of
fresh fall of two and one half feet
of snow, which. in some places
drifted to an unknown depth. This
on top of the old snow in the
mountains made travel real interes-
ting.
The first day we attempted to
come out from Jarbidge we were
five hours making Coon Creek sum-
nit, distance of four miles, only
to be forced back to camp because
of the severe storm which was
raging. But the passengers who
started for Twin Falls had a like
experience. The next day the
travelling was even more difficult,
hut the storm had abated. The
mail leaving Jarbidge at the
unreasonable hour of noon forced
lis into night travel. At ten o'clock
we found the fresh snow had so
covered the old trail that it was
impossible to follow it in the dark;
we therefore camped on the trail
keeping ourselves warm by camp
fire and foraging for wood, until
daylight permitted US to proceed.
On the outroming trip l was &C.
compansd by District attorney
Dysart.
My reception into Jarbidge was
most cordial. every consideration
being shown me and my work.
With one exception mine was the
first sermon ever preached in the
camp. Col. Chas. E. Hayden acted
as escort and introduced me to
the town. Men of all classes
were most courteous. l was given
pass key to the Commercial Club
rooms and made to feel at home
The services were held in the Club
rooms, which are commOdious and
well furnished.
Services VERGE held for five days
commencing with Easter Sunday.
The interest could not have been
more manifest if there had been an
old established church. Ladies
with their husbands walked two
miles from Pavlak. There were
nine men in the choir Easter night.
We had solos and quartettes by
splendid talent. Col. Hayden
presided at the Easter services.
For the five days the audience run
from AZ to 76. Considering the
present quiet condition Of the
camp, splendid offerings were
made to assist IN defraying the
expenes of the missionary. The
present moral condition Of the
town is most excellent.
Yes, the camp is quiet now, but
the decks arc being cleared for
action. The hot-air,, wild-catting
exploiting days are past. The
camp has suffered by the mis-
management Of inexperienced men,
whose intentions we're doubtless of
the best. With the exploiter, some
good men have left the camp be-
cause of the depression. But the
gold is thnre in paying quantities
and covers large areas. Rep

Normal Notes

The normal institute is progress
Ing finely. We are making up In
quality what we lack in quantity.
The instructors, F. A. Hyames, J. l.
Bunyard and Miss Mabel Etzold are
doing excellent work in the three
RS and the other branches required
by the course of study. The nor
malites are all well pleased with the
instructors.
The enrollmnt is rather small this
year, but Prof. Miller, who has been
visiting Institutes in the western
part of the state says he finds this
to be true of many of the Institutes
he has visited, Meade having but rs
and others less, Coldwater having
the smallest enrollment-9. The
enrolment of the Seward county nor
NAL is at this writing 20.
Mrs Vickers and daughter and
Miss Olive Neff visited the normal
one day last week.
Rev. Groat, who has lately moved
to Seward county. accompanied by
his daughter. who Is teacher, spent
day at the normal We hope Miss
Groat will become one of our Sew
ard county teachers. We need more
experienced teachers.
This lecture on story telling will
be illustrated by the telling OF a
number of stories and also by sill
houette pictures which Miss Rebman
will use In her entertainment.
Prof. Schwegler and Rev. Ward
visited with us Tuesday morning
Rev. Ward assisted in the devotional

big country.
Soon the railroad line will be
guarded on its sides, through the cat
tie country, with strands OF its own
barb wire; the pastures will be cut
in the middle and opening and shut

belonging to pioneer days have gone.

It might seem strange to people
unaequainted with the ways and

a barb wire gate heading of a

quickly, too, with the early days

The Open Gateway Soon

The other day a Santa Fe train
In Southwest Kansas came to halt;
the brakeman went out in front,
opened a gate; the train passed
through, stopped; the brakeman
closed the gate, climbed aboard, sig
nailed, and the train proceeded. This
sentence, in a measure, tells of the
rapid growth of the transportation
facilities in the former 'railroadless"
counties of the southwestern part of
the state.
The line of railroad is the new line
OF the Santa Fe, the Dodge City &
Cimarron Valley. 1t is poking its
way through the big cattle country
in search OF traffic. 1t found large
ranches barring the way with strands
of barb wire. The unwritten law of
the trail and the prairie ranch leaves
the wire there and the traveller opens
and shuts the gates as he goes
through. And the railroad, follow

horseback, the broncho-drawn buck

wilson TO TALK
With UNDERWOOD
House Leader to Call on Pres
ident-elect the Latter Part
Of the Week
TO DISCUSS LEGISLATION
Tariff and Trusts to Be Taken Up at
Special. Session After
March 4.
TO DISCUSS LEGISLATION

Representative Oscar Underwood.
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. who has charge of the tariff
legislation at the extra session OF Con-
gress, will go to Princeton, n. j.,
late this week for a conference with
President-elect Wilson. II is expected
that this conference will settle the date
for the extra session which the Presl-
dent-elect will call.
In his announcement that he would
call a special session. Gov. Wilson stated
that it would be called to meet some
time between March 4 and April Is.
Chairman Underwood is understood to
favor a date very much earlier than
April Is, probably about March Is. There
is a difference of opinion among the
House leaders as 10 the date. A
majority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee believe that the extra session
should not meet until after the Ways
and Means Committee has perfected a
bill revising the tariff. The committee
will begin its work Immediately after
the holidays. and members hope to be
ready to report by the time Congress
meets in extra session. The leaders ex-
pect TO try to close the hearings In the
month of January. The Democratic
members will then begin a series of execu-
tive sessions to formulate the draft Of
the general tariff bill which the new
committee Of Ways and Means. as IL
will be constituted after March 4, may
take up and report to the House. 1t is
not expected that there will be any fall
ure on the part of the new committee
to approve the work prepared for them
by the present committee, because a
ma jority of the members OF the new COM
mittee will undoubtedly be made up Of
the present Democratic membership.
