A Newspaper and It's Late Owner

w. R. Nelson the editor and owner of the Ran City Star whose death occurred on Tuesday morning, had established wider influence than any other newspaper proprietor in this country. The Star under his management came to have, perhaps, |; larger circulation than many other American newspapers, but it circulation which had an abiding faith in 1t subscriber for the Star always subscriber.
 The Star constantly appealed to what best in It always consistent always fighting what it believed be right, and always fcarlessIy opposing the wrong. impractical sentimental Iattery the Star mas been strong advocate of prohibition much because it believed the liquor traffic to be morally bad because it believed the consumption oi aco- holic liquor to be economically bad The Star has sympathy with professional reformers with men and women who believe that the world be made perfect in twinlng of an eSn by the s,roke of a pen. It relies upon the process of edu ,atng the people, and it may be said to be one of the very few papers in the country within the last forty years that has succeeded in moulding public opinion.
 For many years the Star has influenced public sentiment in Kansas and Missouri other force and as no combination of forces have cone. The hardest task of the Star been in Kansas City itself where in conflicts with ring politicians and combined evil influences. it has frequently suffered defeat, of which it has always emerged tndis- mayed and with confidence in ultimate triumph.
 The esteem in which the owner of the Stcr WAS held was manifested in touching way ,iurinS his last illness Day after day he lay on his death bed the mail of the office laden With mes ges of condolence and prayers for his early covery. These letters from all classes, washer women day laborers, wealthy merchants and bank CTS.
 During MT. Nelsons ownership of the Star il charged and never suspected that it was ever under selfish sinister influence. and in the absence of such suspicion ay its great strength and its widespread influence.

First and Last Steps
By j. C. GOODWIN

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: Tomorrow will be the com pletion of the Roosevelt Reservoir in every sense of the term, as it was built for practically one purpose and that was to store water When l think of the completion it carries me back ill memory to the beginning. I think it was in the year 1890 that the senate of the United States for the first time appointed committee for but one object and that was to deermine the practicability of build ing dams to create reservoirs for the storage of water for reclamation purposes.
 This committee after having visit ed various parts of the west, came to PhoeliM to meet @ with ,,l,s,,a" the board n1 citizens MT. John $. Armstrong and myself from Tempe, being appointed among others on the committee
 Some time before col w. C. Brec- kenbridge, who now resides at Tue son, with Col. J. H. McClintock and John Norton, visited the reservoir site. MT Breckenridge made con- tour survey of the reservoir and an estimated cost of the dam, and the amount of water the reservoir could contain. And made this report tQ tine beard cf supervisors of Marieopa county The committee met with the citizens committee and the board or supervisors, and for the first time the report on the Roosevelt reservoir was made officially to the federal government Senator William Stuart of Nevada was chairman of the sena- torial committee, Senator Higgins of Texas N"s one of the members of the committee. l do not remember any of the other members. Major T. P. Powell. United States geological survey, was q member of the party
 This was the beginning. Mir. Ar thur F. Davies afterward made a re- port and finally the reclamation act was passed and the secretary under President Roosevelt issued the proc lamation, ard set aside the money for the building of the reservoir. and the completion and object of the reservoir will have been completed when the water pours over it for the first time

the reserves even more might have been gained with less loss.
 The British losses. which total more than 12.000 as reported by French. are very close to the estimates recently published; so they create no surprise The German losses, according to this report. numbered several thousand dead. 12,oOO wounded and many pris- oners. @sw%

 Since the battles with which Field Marshal French deals. the British have had a rest. which the other allies on the western front are now also enjoying after their efforts on the Yser and in the Woevre. although in the latter quarter some liveliness is still appar- ent
