A F'iiltifner - TariN Commission.

The National Grange WAS in session
in washington recently, transacting
business and discussing plans for the
promotion Of the organization through
out the United states. One action taken
was the adoption OF ~ resolution asking
the president to appoint q practical
farmer on the tariff commission.
The Changers made perfectly plain
that they do not care for the appoint
ment bit y book farmer or paner-farmer
as their representative. They want a
man ua the commission who owns and
operates farm and knows by personal
experience the problems the farmer
must meeI.

GETS IS YEARS FOR
 KILLING OF TRAPPER

The trial of Charles Grover, accus- ed of the murder of Thomas Phillips, has resulted in the conviction of the defendant, in trial before the district court at Ruby, and Judge Bunnell has imposed a sentence of IS years in the penitentiary at McNeilPs island.
 The trial brought out the following facts:
 Last May, Charles Grover shot and killed Thomas Phillip at McGrath, the junction point of the KuskOkwim and Takotna rivers. Both men were trap pers in the upper Kuskokwim region
 The shooting was the elimination of a feeling of ill-will which was en- gendered between the two by a series of incidents.
 It appeared that during an absence of Grover from his headquarters his cache and grub were burnt. He then went down the river for fresh sup plies, and upon his return found that S6 traps had been stolen. He accused Phillip of being responsible for all these acts.-Ex.

NEW PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINE PROBABLY WON'T
 BE A SOCIAL SUCCESS

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 7.-Hipoli- to lrigoyen, who will become Prcsi- dent of Argentine on October l2, may prove to be a political success but there is no indication that Ic will be a success socially.
 The Argentinians expect their presidents elect, their presidents and expresidents to show themselves in aristocratic circles, to give big balls and receptions and generally to add to the gaiety of the capital. President Elect Irigoyen has been terrible dis appointment in this respect.
 But for one short visit to Buonos Aires in July, he has remained shut up like a hermit in his ranch house in the country ever since his election. The people are anxious to see him. Pictures of him have been printed but everyone knows they are fakes be- cause there isn't a picture of Irrgoycn in existence.
 The new presidents friends excuse him on the ground that he is a prey to a terrible anxiety at the idea of be- coming president. He is said to be- lieve that South America, including his own country, will face a tremeho-

MAN WHO BUILT TOWN
 FOR WIDOWS NOW BUILDS
 FOR WORKING GIRLS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 TULSA, Okla, Sept. 9. - Charles Page, multi-milionaire oil magnate and the man who built a town-Saad Springs-exclusiyely for widows and orphans, today completed a tent city near here for working girls and pro yidcd free railroad on which to get them to and fro from it every day
 Page built Sand Springs and gath cred widows and orphans from throughout the country to populate it because he decided when he was a poor boy trying to make a living for his widowed mother, that if he ever got rich he would do just that He built the tent city because he thought living in houses in the summer time unhealthful for working girls. Bore than 100 Tulsa girls are living there now.
 The tents are l2 by IA feet, hoored, and boarded on the sides a distance of four feet, with coIlapsable canvas tops
 Two girls occupy one tent The Jent streets have gas plates every few yards so the eprIs may cook There is fresh water and at night are hght and watchmcn guard the town. There is free bath house for the girls, and they have all the privileges of the parks concessions.
 Girls who heretofore had to quit their work in the tense heat of sum mer are working all day in a temper ature of more than a hundred and bearing up under it.
 Even some of the girls from weaIthi- CT families of Tulsa ma1t application for tents, but without success, the one and only requisite being that girl is working for her living. The plan works so spIendidly that Page is con. tcmplatng the building of two hun drcd tents for next year.
