Some What Crippled

While at the outing at the Cotton
wood last Sunday George Thompson
had themisfortune to be badly, but
Fortunately not seriously hurt. Those
in the party are 10th to give the eX-
act happenings but from the best we
can learn George was giving an eX-
ibition of his horsemanship and ir
some way met with his misllap.
Just what happened will probably
never be known but Georges person
and wearing apparelis much the worse
for the experience and he is still nur-
sing a spraincd ankle. Our opinion is
that his feelings would not have been
so badly hurt if it had been some
thing besides shetland pony that did
the damage.
Honest George we are all glad that
1t was no worse.

How Louisiana has Suffered From
Low Sugar Tariff

The editor of the Lampasas (Texas)
Blade, returning -<rom a trip to Ala
bama, through Louisiana, reports as
fellows Of conditions he found in the
latter state as a result Of the low sug
ar tariff.
Undoubtedly the sugar producing
section of Louisiana has suffered more
as result Of the new Tariff law than
any other section of the South al
though it seems that no section has
escaped injury. Large cane planta-
tons along the Southern Pacific. Rail-
road this side of New Orleans have
been abondoned There is nothing
growing in many of the fields this
year and nothing grew in many of
them last year But few of the mills
were in operation any of the time last
year. and many of them are going to
ruin and will have nothing to do this
year.
I'VE talked with a travelling sales
man who said he used to do a good
business through the section referred
to, and he said that there was not
enough business there for him now to
Justify stopping at the towns along
there as he passed through: that the
merchants he used to sell to are now
broke and out of business. The own
ers of the mills and plantations are
broke, as rule, and but few of them
IRE tyring to do anything this year
We asked this drummer why so many
of the planters, mill men and mer-
chants had gone broke and he said be-
cause the new Tariff law had put the
producers of that section out of busi-
ness and paralyzed everything. He
said the sugar refiners could now
buy raw sugar in Cuba anG other for
eign countries at prices below the cost
of production in louisiana; that as a
result the sugar trusts are making
bigger profits than before, and at the
same time consumers are paying as
much for sugar as they paid before,
if not little more"

secured by Congressman Charles b.
Timberlake from the U. S. Depart

tment of such bulletins are issued to
the retiring members of Congress Mr..
Timberlake recognized the worth of
several bulletins just off the press to
the farmers in his district and believ-
ing that they should have the same he
resorted to some diplonmancy and Sc
cured fairly good number, getting
them from members of congress living
in the larger cities Of the east where
the demand for such bulletins is not
so great as it is in the agricultural
communities
Mr.. Timbcrlake has the following

DR. Googman the vetinary. who has

received telegram Monday notifying
him of his appointment for work for
the Government in Chicago and left
that evening for his new position.
This leaves Sedgwick county without a

appointed up to the present time and
the state game wardens have not
made It practice to seek out viola
tions of the federal law.
The situation is summed up by
State Game and Fish Commissioner
Fraser in this language:
We thought our last Legislature
would amend our present game laws
to conform with the federel rules, but
to coform with the federal rules, but
unfortunately that was not done. Con

sage chickens from August 1st to

Some Curiosity

This office has on display in its show
windows a curiosity that is well worth
seeing and one with any imagination
may easily form one of any number
of stories of same.
What happened in the Long ago"
will never be known. 1t may have
been quick sand possibly and very pro-
bs hiIv an indian raid but what ever
the cause the relic is some curiosity
never the less and any one is free to
come and see one of the few recics of
the caarlv days when huge OK trains
took TIE place of our steam trains and
automobiles of the present day.
On July 29th while fishing in the
South Platte river just east OF Ovid
at the old ford where Fort Selgwick
Originally stood NJ NJ. Kapp and Art
Catron saw sticking a few inches out
of the sand piece of wood they COM
menced digging and found that attach
cd to the wood was a chain continual
digging brought to the surface an old
OK yoke for OK team and a tail
chain The Bows in the yoke have
the pins in same so that apparently
the oxen died in mid stream in harness
: Tie links in the chain show the work
of the water on same many of them
being nearly rusted into but they are
all together and are encrusted in
places with sand and gravel
The wood is we'll preserved and dim
ly outlined on one yoke is the letters
L, S. which leads one to believe that
,ho outfit probably belonged to the gov
ernment during the early days of the
country.

Harry Il. Thaw and Party in Julesburg

Harry X. Thaw the man who has
made a most extraordinary fight for
liberty from the Insane Asylum of New
York TO which he was committed after
killing Stanford White for repeated
and continual insults to his wife, and
his party consisting of c. S Whaiton,
of Chicago former L. S. Congressman
from Illinois; F. X. johnson of New
York City; and p. E. Pendleton of
Concord, n. II. passed through Jules
burg on Monday afternoon on their
way to Denver and on to San Fran
cisco.
The party was met at Breul, Ne5r.,
by r. j. Dobell Secretary of the Lin
coin Highway in Colorado, and Harry
Moore of Big Springs and they found
the party almighty interesting and
entertaining one. Mr. Thaw may be
paranoic but IL he is he certainly does
not show it either in his talk or ac-
tons. A man with as much publicly
as Mr. Thaw has had must necces-
unless he acts very different else
where he is no different than hun
dreds of other tourists who are trave-
ling via auto and we have met many
who showed many more signs of in
sanity than did Mr.. Thaw.
Mr.. Thaw was at Hastings, Nebr..
and intending going west over the
white pole line but changed his plans
on the receipt of telegram from The
Lincoln Highway Association in Colo
RADIO asking him to travel over their
regarding adviser reports on this
route by advocates of the other high
way
Mr. Thaw was especially corteous
and submitted in being photographed
bside the Big Sign of the Automobile
Club of Southern California ct Big
Springs and again by their sign at the
State line between Nebraska and Colo
RADIO.
An incident which happened just as
he was entering Big Springs goes to
show the humane side of his make
up. Just before reaching Big Springs
two dogs ran out and commenced bark
ing beside his machine. He accident
ly ran over and killed one of the dogs.
He Immediately stopped his car paid
the owner for the dog and also paid
him for burying the dog and expressed
that he did not want to feel that the
poor fellow was lying out on the
prairie.
Mr. Thaw is travling in a six clyin-
der Packard and is driving the car.
He stopped few minutes in Julesburg
where the party refreshed themselves
at the soda fountain and then pro-
>ceaded to Sterling where they ate din
ne- and went on to Fort Morgan for
the night. They arrived in Denver
early Tuesday and after resting there
few days will proceed westward.

The farmers in the grasshopper sec
tions should not allow these reports
to keep them from using the poison.
The use of the bran is probably the

danger of loss from the use of poison
if properly used. than there is from
