ing for continuance of the hearing.

posed county were present at the hear
ing Wednesday evening, the speakers
for division being H. H. Northup, of
New Raymer, H. E. Churchill and

Local Men Buy Keot. Townsite

For more than five years the Keota
townsite property. consisting Of the
southeast quarter of Section "a. and
twenty acres along the west side Of the
southwest quarter of Section IS, has
been sort Of trading proposition with
Chicago people. In that time it has
changed hands several times, and
numerous mortgages have been given;
but it has never been possible to buy
individual lots, exceptsuch as may have
passed into private hands before. the
Chicago people got the townsite. This
condition has tended to prevent building
at Keota, and has without doubt pre-
vented the town from making the growth
it would otherwise have made.
With the intention of relieving the
situation, 90 that Keota business and
residence lots may be put on the market,
a stock subscription list was circulated
last week, and money raised with which
to buy out the owners interest and clear
the mortgage against the property. The
owner, ID. J. Splane Of Chicago came
on Monday, was accompanied by r. A..
Martinson and M. l.. Haworth to Greeley
on Tuesday for an investigation of the
title, and left this morning carrying his
money back to Chicago. The local COM
pany will organize and incorporate at
once, and lots will then be placed on sale.
The biggest individual interest in the
deal has been taken by S. w. Fox; but
as he buys the east eighty acres out
right, he will have only minor interest
in the townsite company. Mr.. Fox
already owned 120 acres just east Of his
new property, 80 this eighty makes q
very desirable addition to it.

LoNGFELLow,s BIRTHDAY.

The International Longfellow so- ciety, organized to study the writings of the great poet and to perpetuate his memory by suitable memorials, will celebrate to-day the 10th anni- versary of the birth of the bard The center of the Longfellow observance is Portland, Me, where he was born on Feb. 27, 1S07.
 Portland has two shrines favored by pilgrims to the birthplace of ''the poet of sympathetic gentleness and universal bard of women and yonng people," The principal Longfel1ow museum is the old colonial house at Hancock and Fore streets in the Pine Tree State metropolis, where the poet was born The shrine is the house in Congress street where the poet lived, for many years, and which was wift to the Maine Historical society from Longfellow's sister.
 For many years the three-st ory house where Longfellow was born was used as tenement, and all re- minders of it's literary association were obliterated. Then it came into the possession of the International Longfellow society, which has mem bers in every country of Europe and in Asia, Africa and Austria, as well as in America, the old house was re- stored and stocked with furniture of the colonial period, as we'll as with exhibitions of various kinds relating 1 to the poet and his works.

ECONOMIST ON THE WAR

One of the most distinguished of American political economists is Dr. Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale, and the author or numerous works on ecOnmlc topics Prof Fisher who is 50 years old to- day, having been born on Feb. 27, 1867, at Saugerties, N. Y.-has writ ten much on the economic aspects Of the great war To him the most ter rible calamity is not the cost of the war in human lives, not the tremen- dous cost in mOney-"not filled graves wrecked cathedrals, or gutted treasure boXes'-but "the emptied cradles of the coming generation" That to the distinguished American economist is the great tragedy the world must face. In his opinion. it is the quality and. not the quantity of human life'' that should be held pre- cious, and he sees war wasting the young and vigorous men who should be the fathers of the next generation, the while it spares the physically or mentally weak, the aged, the 1nhrm, the insane, and other defectives. It is the latter who must now perpet- uate the human race, and the result will be, he fears, men and women less vigorous mentally and physically, deficient morally, and probably of much smaller stature. After the war, he fears, Europe will be vast hos- pital full of invalids, vast alms- house full of paupers, vast ceme- tery full of graves"
 Prof. Fisher does not believe that peace will bring an immediate re- duction in the high cost of living. After the war is over prices will probably not retreat" he says, "but will move upward even faster than before. There may then come the familiar boom period, which may eliminate in a commercial crisis in a few years after the close of the war, as was true after Crimean war, the American Civil war, and the Franco-PruSsian war; He believes that a strong anti-war movement will develop after the conclusion of the struggle, declaring that German viO- lations of neutral rights twill surely prove a powerful stimulus to safe. guard those rights in the future" :" National bankruptcies and revo1u- tions he also considers among the probable results of the war in some countries.

AMBASSADOR sPRING-RICE

On a winter day in 1886 a very quiet wedding ceremony was per formed in St. Georges church, Han over Square, London. The bride- groom wore "a bowler hat' and oth- CT rather unconventional garb for a wedding and was introduced as
 Theodore, Roosevelt, a ranchman from North Dakota, while, his bride was Edith Kermit Carow' of New York. The American ranchman's
 best man at the wedding was young
 Englishman, Cecil Arthur Spring Rice, then serving his apprenticeship in the art of diplomacy It is unnecessary to enter into de- tails regarding the future career of the bridegroom, but it may be re-
 marked that the best man is now Sir Cecil Spring-Ricc, who has for sev- eral years served as British iambas- sador at Washington. Sir Cecil was
 born; 5S years ago to-day, Feb. 27, 1859, and was educated at Oxford.
 His first service in Washington was
 as. secretary of embassy, and he also served in a similar capacity at Brus- sells, Tokio, Berlin and Constantin-
 ople, as charge d'affaires at Teheran, [ and as first secretary at St. Peters DurS, DoIOre ne became a Iull neOS- ed diplomat as minister to Persia in 1906. His next post was as minister to Sweden, which he held until his ap pointment to the Washington post
 In the latter he has displayed great ability, tact and discretion in criti- cal period in the worlds history Sir Cecil is a cousin of Lord Monteagle, a peerage bestowed by Queen Vic-
 toria upon his. grandfather, Thomas
 Spring-Rice, as a reward for his ser-
 vice as colonial secretary, and chan
 cellor of the exchequer. The ambas-
 sador has in his veins some of the
 most aristocratic blood of Ireland, in
 culding the Fitzgeralds, the De Veres,
 the O'Briens, and the clans of Perys
 and Lascelles.

SANTO DOMINGOS
 PROGRESS

This is the Independence day of the
 Dominican Republic, and, although
 Uncle Sam has of late found it neces-
 sary to modify the island republics
 Independence" to a certain extent, it
 is not truthfully to be said that the
 governmental experiment has been
 total failure. Santo Domingo com
 prises what was formerly the Span
 ish part of the island of Hayti. In
 1921 it was incorporated with the
 neighboring "black republic" but on
 Feb. 27, 1844, the people rose in arms
 against the Haytian republic" and set up an Independent government
 This has continued ever since, with
 the exception of a brief period in the
 sos when Santo Domingo reverted to Spanish rule. In spite of their re- cent difficulties, the people of the Dominican Republic are peaceful and law abiding, as compared With the
 black citizens of Hayti. Santo Dom ingo has it's professional rebels anad
 bandits, but in the last decade the
 revolutions have been confined within
 marrow limits and have interfered little with the business of the people
 at large. It was ten years ago that the United States entered into treaty by which the DemOnlnlcan RepubIlc gave Uncle Sam absolute control of the customs as a guarantee for the payment of the $17,000,000 national
 debt This virtual protectorate has had a stabilizing influence, which is appreciated by the masses of the
 peaceful and industrious people. Con- trary to the general belief, Santo Do- ! mingo is not "black republic" like Havti op1v bo11t a third of the pOD-
 ulation being negroes Spanish blood preponderates in the remainder, and the government is entirely in the hands of white men. Education is almost universal, anad very few are
