PIT1MM
MAKING GOOD

A correspondent writing of af.
fairs at Washington says:
Senator Pittman has rapidly es-
tablished himself in the senate as
an able, energetic and constructive
statesman. 1t vas only a few years
back when it was considered i'm
p%ertinence on the part of a new
senator TO rise to his feet for any
purpose except perhaps to intro
duce a bill during his first session.
The new members were supposed
to sit back and listen to the older
members for b year or two until
they got broke in.
The writer we'll remembers when
young Beverage first took his seat
in the senate. The Hoosier states
man got right up after he had been
seated a few weeks and proceeded
to talk FOR several minutes and it
was not ten minutes before his
voice was resouDding in an almust
empty chamber. Later Beverage
delivered his more or less famous
speech on the Philippines. After
he had concluded he went around
to the older members and inquired
of what they thought of his efforts.
Among them he approached was
nur o. n Senator John P. Jones. In
reply to BeVeridge's inquiry Jones
said: Beverage, you have a re-
workable vocabulary; now 60 and
educate yourself up to your vc-
c%abulary."
But conditions have changed.
After Beverage came La Toilette
and others who smashed the old
custom into smithereens. So with
Senator Pitt nan. He wadnd right
in up to his neck and did not be-
come eDgulfed. His handling of
the fight for the Hetch Hetchy bill
WAS admirable and successful. He
then went after the Alaska Rail
road bill. which passed. This is
one of tho most important pieces of
legislation introduced in the senate
for many years. 1t means the open
ing up of vast natural resources of
Alaska and that in their develop
ment the question of transporta-
ton will be handled so that all will
be given an equal chance to ship
their products to sea level.
Alaska is an empire which has
been held back by reason Of lack
Of transportation and also by the
attempted exploitation of her re-
sources by large special interests.
The government railway will mean
that the average man Of enterprise
and ability and with small capital
will be able to secure his share of
the wealth to be gotten out of this
almost virgin field.

the Southern Pacific's control over
the Central Pacific railway and it's
subsidiary coast lines. Cancella-
ton of the Southern Pacific's 90
year lease and a perpetual injunc-
ton wa asked.
The petition charges that the
combination exists in violation of
the so-cailed Pacific railroad laws,

by congress to secure a continuous,
connected line from tn Missouri

advantages to all other roads. 1t
YVES declared further that the
Southern Pacific and the Central
Pacific are competitive lines.
1t was pointed out that the lines
of the Central Pacific form a nat
ural through connection at Ogden
for the Union Pacific and that a
restoration Of competitive condi-
tions would give the Union Pacific
a through route for transcontinent-
al traffic, and for traffic to the
Oriental steamship connections at
San Francisco. The decree sought,
the petition AYERS, would restore
competition to portions of Califor-
MIA, Arizona. New Mexico, Texas

petition, "the Southern Pacific
company prevents joint traffic or

SMOOTH HUSTLER
He Steals and Sells Horses and
Escapes

Oacoma, Jan. Notwithstanding
that a reward of $3.50 has been offered
for his apprehension, and score of
officers in the southwestern part of
the state have been conducting a
search for him, a daring thief who
made a raid on horse herds in Lyman
county Inns far has escaped capture.
The thief first appeared at Reliance,
driving into that town with a broken
down team of horses and a dilapidsted
wagon. He was leading three fine
horses behind the wagon. He stated
that he had been farming near the Mis-
souri, river, but had decided to leave
the country. and that in order to do
so he was compelled to sell the three
horses. A Reliance buyer purchased
the three horses for $270, paying $50
cash 10 the stranger and giving him an
order fo1 the remainder ON his partner
at Gregory. The horse ''rustler" lost
no time in making his way to Greg
DRY, where he secured the balance of
the 500 and then disappeared. He is
believed to have made his way into
northern Nebraska. Five other head
of horses were stolen by the thief dur
ing his raid, but where he disposed of
these has not yet been discovered. The
three horses sold by him at Reliance
were stolen from a rancher living near
Draper.
