the principal speaker last night at
the co-operators' congress. He adj
dressed a crowd that packed the
theater on subjects concerning the

interrupted by vigorous applause
when he touched upon some patrio-
tic subjects. The farmers were
with him from the first.
Other speakers of the day were:

subjects proposed by Governor

said to come from the Nonpartisan

it was carried by a substantial
margin.

and went to Big Sandy for an adj

csnss Will Have to be Paid

city commission at its regular meet
ing this morning that District Judge

from this time on the ordinance
would be rigidly enforced, and that

censes to T. J. Young & Sons, appli-
cations for which had been made
previous to the test suit. and re-
ferred the application of Ferdinand
Nelson, who operates the Webster
hotel line, to the police commits
sioner.

constitutiOnality Of its taxicab Ii
censing ordinance after drafts of the
new state automobile licensing law
had been received in Fargo, it's
wording appearing to imply that
automobiles would be exempt from
any other tax. The city, in its suit,
held that it taxed the occupation,
and not the machine.

ALCOHOL AND LONGEVITY

Prohobition advocates tell us that moderate drinking cuts fifteen years off the average mans life. This is probably the reason why that jocund young man Chauncey Mitchell Depew, despite his eighty-fourth birthday, is hale, hearty and full of optimism. He has been a moderate drinker all his life. So he is really only sixty-nine years old. Of course if he had been compelled by prohibitory laws to re- frain from the wine-cup he would doubtless now be ninety-nine, but he probably doesn't worry about that. Galapagos turtles live to be 200 years old because they never drink alcoholic beverages, but who wants to be tur- tie, and it is question whether a tur- tie gets as much fun out of life as our Chauncey has had during the few years that his bad habits have allowed him to live. Alcoholic liquors are poi son, say the alleged Scientists" who note the effect of alcohol fumes on guinea pigs. Mir. Depew has been pois- Oned these many years but hasn't found it out yet.-Ex.

DEATH OF PIONEER
 IN SAN FRANCISCO

Charles Gracey, one of the pioneers of the west, died at his home in San Francisco ol the 14th of May, accord ing to advices received by Mrs. O. D. NJ. Gaddis.
 Mir. Grdcey was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1S42, and emigrated to the United States in early manhood. He learned the trade of blacksmith and operated a shop at Pioche, Nevada, during the early seventies. Prior to that time he mined around Grass Val ley, California, and in the placers of that state. After leaving Pioche he went to Eldorsdo Canyon and took charge of the Wharton properties. Af- ter the death of the owner he mined for some time in Mohave county, la ter going to California, where he own ed mining property. He was married in the early seventies and his wife was with him when the end came.
 Mir. Gracey was one of those broad minded, whole souled fellows who made friends wherever he went, and his many friends throughout the min ing camps of the west will learn of his demise with sincere regret.

ABANDONS NEW WIFE

Manuel Rosales, Mexican, who had taken unto himself a wife last week Friday, is charged by the woman with abandonment. It appears that Rosales had been living with another Mexican woman, who is now about to become a mother, and concluded to quit the new wife by ejecting her from the family home at Athos. He was ar rested and is being held in the county jail until the proper charge is lodged against him.
 A favorite pastime of the Mexican or cholo, is to pick up a woman at Fl Paso and bring her with him to his employment on the railroad or the mines, and when he is ready to leave and tires of the woman abandons her to her fate. Something should be done with such fellows, but our present law is inadequate, unless they are arrest ed on a white slave charge.

MARVEL OF AUTOMOBILE
 WAS FORECAST BY EDISON

Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard, was the first well known Am erican to prophecy that the automo- bile would revolutionize transporta- tion. Nearly twenty-five years ago he is quoted in the New York World: ''The horseless vehicle is the coming wonder. Ten years from now we will be able to buy a horseless vehicle for what you would have to pay today for a wagon and a pair of horses The money spent in the upkeep of the horses will be saved. A great inven- tion, which facilitates commerce, en- riches a country just as much as a discovery of gold" Looking back from the pinnacle of 1918 automobile development, it must be a source of great satisfaction to automobile man ufacturers to know his prediction was conservative rather than radical.

POSTOFFICE INSTALLS AUTO
 MATIC CANCELLING MACHINE

The Kingman post office has just installed an automatic cancelling ma chine and is quite proud of the fact. The Kingnan office has grown rapid ly during the past several years until it is rated with towns having double the population. While the town is just now suffering from a lack of young men the business is keeping up remarkably well. As soon as matters adjust themselves Kingman will take on a boom that will open the eyes of the oldest inhabitant, and the King man office will have to secure larger Quarters.
