ALMOST INSTANTLY KILLED
Henry Hyder Meets Death by Falling
Under Loaded Wagon.

Saturday forenoon between clever
and twelve O'Clock Henry Hyder. Sol
Of A. Z. Hydsr, Vandever, fell unde
loaded wagon and was so badly in
jured that he died in about two hours
The deceased leaves wife and twt
small children.
1t seems that Henry Hyder anG
brother had gone for load of woos
and were returning and ~ they wer,
driving down steep hill Henry Hydel
fell from the wagon in front and wa!
caught with his back against stumI
and the hub of the wagon whee
! crushed him SO severely that the back
was broken and the abdominal muscle:
badly torn and broken.
He was assisted home, . short dis
tance away, an died within two hours
after the accident. DR.. V. l.. Lewis
was called but the unfortunate man
was dead when he arrived. An ex-
animation showed that the back was
broken and other injuries sustained.
The remains were buried in the neigh.
borhood cemetery, Sunday.
The sad accident touched the COM
munity deeply and the most earnest
sympathy of all the neighbors was
manifested by every act of kindly
assistance that could be rendered.
The Hyders are quiet, industrious
and respec ted people of the Vandever
neghborhot d. Misfortune has visited
them with :. heavy hand the past year
or two. A. c. Hyder, father of the
deceased is IN failing health and
has been fer some months. Mrs. Hy-
der has also suffered with several at
tacks OF galIstones recently and in I'd.
dition one son, John. was severely cut
with an axe in the shoulder while
working in timber. Since that time
their son-in-law, "Fonney" Beyers,
died a few months ago, leaving a
wife and several children, and now
comes this additional sorrow.
The father is widely known over the
county and respected by all who know
MIN. For several years he was
constable and acted as a deputy under
several sheritfs. He has many friends
over the county that will sympathize
with him and his family in their hour
of deep grief.

CHRONICLE GOES TO

Increase Of Postage and Freight Coupled
With Other Heavy Increases, Rem

ty if Paper Cotinues.

The new postage rate went into
effect July !, which adds considerable
to the expense of producing a news
paper. Besides that there has been a
freight increase of rs percent, to say
nothing of the other expenses. which
are constantly increasing. These con-
ditions have forced US to increase the
price OF the Chronicle to $500 a year.

We have no apologies to offer for
this advance in price nor do we think
the public will consider any necessary
for every one Is aware of the great
advance that is now with US on every
class OF goods, whether 1t be to eat,
to use or to wear.
All persons who have paid thier sub
scriptions ahead will receive the paper
to the end of the time at the old rate
of 81. 50 a year but all who are behind
will be charged the old rate to July l
and after that date the the price to
them will be $500. Our increase in
price IS far less than the increase in
prices of things we have to buy and
we do not pretend that the price of
81. 90 year is the limit to which we

REINDEER BEEF.
Large Quantities Of It Will Soon Be
ComingFrom Alaska.

1t came out OF the great Norrhlanc
the other day--just q brief two line
telegraph dispatch from the semi.
Arctic region of Alaska. This was
what the wire read, REINDEER herd
ers are arranging to ship thousands OF
carcases to help relieve the meat
shortage in the United States and
Allied countries.
There, far away in the almost un-
known Northland. thought of by most
of ls as nothing but bleak and hostile
territory. Uncle Sam has been grad
ually gathering by infinite pains and
careful tutoring of the primitive peo-
pie, a vast herd of animals, the
Alaskan reindeer.
Today, with all the world at war and
many nations loudly clamorlng for
food, he has at his command gather
ing Of horns and hoofs that number
tull hundred thousand animals. And
now from the vast gathering come the
first carcases to feed the people OF the
United States and perhaps be shipped
to allied countries.
The average full grown beast will
dress at very low average of 500
pounds. So Uncle Sam stands in
command TO an army of beef weighing
at least $1,000, 900 pounds.
The Alaskan Reindeer Service was
begun IN 1892, when at the insistence
OF DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the United
States Congress issued grant of
$2O4, 500 to purchase siberian reindeer
for shipment to Alaska. From then
until 1912 no less than 5000 animals
were imported.
The reindeer is three-fold utility.
1t supplies splendid meat, rich milk
and valuable hide. The last named is

The Proposed Lincoln Statue.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is of late that only too frequent
ly we read in some paper or periodi-
cal comments upon the much discuss
ed Lincoln statue by Mr.. Barnard. 1t
occurs to me that in view of the fact
that Great Britain has given an i'm
portant site for a statue of Lincoln
dn Parliament Square. London) is
sufficient reason to conclude that. In
order to do adequate justice to the
surroundings. neither Barnard's nor
any other statue not expresstvely
composed for the place can be ap-
propriate. l consider it a patriotic
duty on the part Of our artists and
art lovers. in appreciation of the Brit
ish governments offer. and more so

tions are fighting shoulder to shoul-

bodying the character of the great

GOES TO CONFERENCE.
House Passes Oil Land Leasing Bill
Which President Favors.

The administration Oil land leasing
bill. urged by the President and three
members of the cabinet, by Fuel Oil
Administrator Mark L. Requa and
Bernard NJ. Baruch. chairman Of the
War Industries Board. was passed by
the House yesterday and now goes to
conference.
1t is hoped that under this measure
oil production will be stimulated. pro-
viding an adequate supply so that es-
sential industries will not be forced
to shut down, such as railroads. steel
and munition plants and shipyards.
This measure would open up more
than 100000 acres of public lands
in the west for development
There is a very acute difference be-
tween the Senate and House on relief
clauses for those claimants who have
already developed claims on naval
reserve No. 2. which 1t is hoped will
be reconciled in conference.

Mr. Burleson has stated that he

"Belittled Wars Importance"
Citing number of other editorials
from Hearst newspapers. Col Roose-
Welt declared:
These quotations show that Mr..
Hearst has steadily endeavored to be-
little the vital Importance to our
country of this war and to excite the
hatred of our people against allies
who are faithfully fighting beside US; !;
and such conduct can he of help only
to Germany. to the enemy which we
are fighting. Just as long as Mr.
Hearst's publications are permitted
in the mails, Mr.. Burleson is without
excuse for excluding any other pub
licat!ons from them. The administra-
ton by its acquiescence permits the
continuance of Mr.. Hearst's cam
paign. which necessarily tends to give
aid and comfort to Germany and to
impair the morale of our own people.

shred of justification for their action
and inaction. Mr. Burleson is, of
in the matter. Mr.. Hearst's papers
are so important and Mr.. Hearst's
position among the administrations
political friends. supporters and ad-
visors is SO prominent. and the action
in connection with reinstating him in
his cable privileges was so purely de-
pendent upon the President himself
that no subordinate of the President
can accept or be credited with the
chief responsibility for any action or
inaction of the administration in re-
lation to Mr. Hearst. The admins
tration is responsible for the tolera-
tion of Mr.. Hearst's anti-ally, anti
war and therefore anti-American ac-
tivities. and for the reward neverthe-
less given him: and the service rem
dered on the other side by Mr.. Hearst
was service to the administration and

ORDER
TO GUIDE DRAFT
"Work or Fight" Ruling Not
to Affect Labor, Says
Mr.. Baker.

Formal denial that Provost Mar
shall General crowders work or
fight" regulations were promulgated
with intent to affect labor conditions
was made yesterday by Secretary Ba-
ker. They are purely military meas
ures. the Secretary said. designed TO
modify certain privileges in the way
of deferred classification in the draft
now granted some rcgistrants and are
not intended as an indirect conscrip-
tion of labor.
Seeretary's Stat ment.
Tho Sacretarv'S statement follows: ::
my attention has been called to the
ing occurring because of the reEula-
tion issued through the provost mar
Shal general affecting persons en-
gagged in less essential industries.
One suggestion is that this is be-
ginning of a series of regulations for
the purpose of affecting labor. 1t is
not the intention of the department
through this or any other means to
affect labor by military regulations.
The sole purpose of this order is to
guide exemption boards in their duty
to apply the provision of law affect
emption and deferred classification"
Departments Will Not Conflict.
Replying to a question as to how
the regulations would affect the
workmen of draft age who strike,
Mr.. Baker said that. while the regu-
lations were silent on that subject. it
was not the War Departments ,inten-
tion to affect the labor situation in
any way through this indirect meth
cd. He added that the whole question
of the relation of the government to
labor was under the administration
of the Labor Department and that the
War Department had no intention of
intervening.
That the regulations will affect the
labor situation was foreseen and this
effect was a point in favor Of the
regulations urged by their civilian
proponents. The shortage now ex-
isting in some lines of industry, par
ticularly the non-skilled branches, is
expected to be materially relieved
when the regulations become effect
i've and men of draft age now en-
gagged in what the War Department
terms unnecessary lines of endeavor
turn to essential work.
