PLEASANT CALLERS.

We are pleased to state that we had
the pleasure of call yesterday from
G.. N Norton, of Pennington and his
son, H. H. Norton, D. & r. G. agent
at Ignacio.
Mr.. Norton and the writer for
years roamed over the same Kansas
territory Mr.. Norton was then in
the cattle business and the writer
was, 35 years ago, herder boy on
the central plains of Kansas.
For years the Norton family have
made their home in the San Juan,
where they have been engaged in the
fruit and stock business. They love
the San Juan, and will love it more
when all the good things have come
to this section that are in line to
come.
Mr.. Norton stands for the best, the
best there is for the human race on
this old earth. He believes in fine
farms, fine herds and good business.
He believes in the higher intelli-
gence playing a part in everyday
life. The San Juan has many good
families, but it needs ten thousand
more families like the Nortons. Then
would Immediately come a broad
gauge railroad from Denver, rail
road to Gallup, beet sugar factory,
excellent wagon roads and hundreds
of other improvements that would
place the old San Juan in the front
rank of all sections.

WHAT HAS PRODUCED
CHANGES SINCE 1898?

The year 1898 was one of glory for
the United States. The armies and
navies Of the United States that year.
liberated Cuba, captured Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands and put
Uncle Sam at the council board of
the nations of the world as a full
fledged member. The name of Ad-
miral Dewey, on account of his VIC
tory in destroying the Spanish fleet,
became a household word. The ad-
miral's name had scarcely been known
and the Philippine Islands were even
less known. Dewey's victory was so
complete and SO unexpected that the
American people marveled among
themselves. A delayed dispatch from
the other side of the world, COM
ing by obscure means, told the story.
Dewey's fleet had been at Hong
Kong, six hundred miles or more
from Manila Bay. The admiral had
received information where the Span
ish fleet could be found and he ask
ed no further questions. In the Ian
guage of Whitman, he "sailed on"
Dewey practically settled the war
with Spain. Cities and states cele-
brated the event. Public buildings
and hotels were named dewey"
Congress passed vote of thanks and
the position of admiral was revived
to honor Dewey. The country had
called for volunteers and two men
had responded for every man need
ed. Great Britain expressed SYM
pathy for the United States and ev-
erything went well.
These events were eighteen years
ago.
What has transpired to put to
death American patriotism since that
day? Has it been the talk concern
ing the surrended of the Philippines I?
Has it been the increase of taxes :?
Has 1t been that we have been de-
voting ourselves to money making and
that we have reckoned everything on
cash basis? Formerly in our years
of war we have not counted the dol
lars. The first move in congress in
1898 was to give President Mckinley
$50, 100000 with no questions asked.
What living man prefers the senti-
ment of his country today to that Of
1898? Are we nearer Christian
ideals today than then? Are our
young men doing bigger things for
themselves and the world now than
then Are we going forward or back

DEATH OF JOHN EWING.

The death of John Ewing at his
home in Del Norte last Saturday
takes away one of the most distinc-
tive types of sterling manhood Colo
days of her civilization. Just step
ping from boyhood to manhood, John
came to Del Norte in 1874, and cas-
lily stepped in line with the most bril-
liant galaxy of young men that was
ever given to a western early day
community, fraternizing at once with
Adair Wilson, John G. Taylor, Thom-
as NJ. Bowen. Alva Adams, Ezra T..
Elliott, Ross Hart Harry Adist, Jake
Ellison. Fergie Graham and a score
more that made the old gateway
memorable. Wilson, Taylor, Bowen
and Ellison had preceded John Ew-
ing to the line of review beyond.
Plain as an old shoe, and honest in
all the word implies, the game al
ways had to. be square with John.
iit hIitN ht was i''i Oii
"a hair trigger, and was always alers
to avoid displeasure for his fellows,
He saw the big show early and was
glad to take to farming and stock
raising. During the eighties he rep
resented Rio Grande senatorial dis
trict in the senate and tho he avoid
ed public office he was mayor of Del
Norte at the time of his death. His
going out is sad loss to the veter-
an group of old time friends that
fave been with him for 30 or 40
years.
John Ewing was born at Zenia, o.
in 18d8, coming to Colorado to Del
Norte in 1874. He was married to
Miss Ida Van Liew in 1879. One
child, Charlie Ewing, who now re
sides in Del Norte, was born to them.
The Ewing ranch at Embargo
creek, near South Fork Of the Rio
Grande, is monument to John Ew-
ing's well directed energies and his
loyalty to environment that played a
considerable part in shaping use
ful and progressive life that lent in
fluence all about him for good.
The great morale of a man like
John Ewing bequeathes a splendid as
set which must live on where he has
lived.
In plain terms, hardening of the
arteries" stole upon an exceptfona,
vigorous health to hurry our friend
beyond those scenes.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Presbyterian church at Del Norte
and Governor Alva Adams who had
come from Pueblo to join with friends
in their last tribute, eulogized the life
of his departed friend.

GENERAL CONDEMNATION

which will close here today that the
fragmentary reports made on Ameri-

reputation of American exporters
which contains elements both of
sreat good and great harm. Certain
american consuls, commercial organi.
zations and banks have done use
'ul service in sharply calling atten-
ion to specific dereliction on the
part of Americans in the export
trade.
''In itself, this has done good, but
t is apparent that many newspap-

made these specific complains the
basis for concentrations highly dis
'reditable to all American foreign
