LETTERS FROM
OUR SOLDIER BOYS

American Expeditionary Forces,
Dec. 25th, 1917.
Iron County Record, Cedar City.
Dear Editor sat down few
nights ago TO read the home paper,
the first | have seen since left home,
and sure enjoyed reading the news
from home | am in the u. s. Army
and | am enjoying my work trying
TO do my bit to help my country. !
have already seen active service at
the front Our casualties were small,
only few being killed and wounded,
but believe me it is queer sensa-
ton to hear the shells whizzing over
your head and bursting all around
you and not knowing when one is go
ing to burst among us, but | pulled
through all right.
would like to see all the boys who
have joined the colors since ] left
home, but | guess J will have to wait
until get back.
Today is Christmas and we have
had pretty good time. We had some
contests between our battery and an
other battery but the honors were
pretty even, each side enjoying them
selves exceedingly, and we had talk
from our Colonel which was the best
event of the day, so altogether we
spent a pretty Merry Xmas.
Well can't think Of anything more
to write so will close. Give my best
regards to the people of Cedar.
remain, Yours truly,
l.. r. HASLAM.

A Friend of the West

Secretary of the Interior. Franklin /
X. Lane, has been warm friend OF /
he west in his stand for fair legis-
lation which would permit develop
ment of our great natural resources
such as oil, waterpowers and mines.
In doing this he has been most I'M
Justly attacked.
Mr.. Lane can see that great natur-
al resources without development
are worse than useless.
So-called eastern Conservation
lists" have used the natural re-
sources of the west for years, as
good vote getting material.
A few men like Lane have dared
to point OUT the folly of a policy
which restricts production.
The war has proved that they are
right for we are today In the midst
of the worst fuel and oil famine the
nation has ever seen and yet political
interests are still blocking legisla.
ton which would throw open tn,
great natural storehouses. OF the ives
under proper safeguards.
Our water powers run to waste I,
the sea and our oil lands are with
held from development.
Measures are now before congress
which would permit this sorely need
ed development of both oil and wat
, er power resources and still the dc
I lay continues.
Y Secretary Lane and his sense {
t vision as to the country's neet
mean much to the nation at tn
!. time.
:. Let us hope that the "conserv
!. ton" farce for political purpose
: which permits our oils to waste
: the ground and our waters to was

CHAPTER X.
Gordon Invites Himself to Dinner
and Does Not Enjoy 1t.

Big Bill and his companions reached
Kamatlah early next day. They re-
ported at once to Selfridge. 1t had
been the intention of Wally to vent
upon them the bad temper that had
been gathering ever since his talk with
Elliot. But his first sarcastic ques-
ton drew such snarl of anger that
he reconsidered. The men were both
sullen and furious.
The little man became alarmed. In
stead of reproaches he gave them SOFT
words and promises. The company
would see them through. 1t would pro-
tect them against criminal procedure,
But above all they must stand pat In
denial. A conviction would be impos-
sible even If the states attorney filed
an indictment against them. Mean
while they would remain on the COM
pany pay roll.
Gordon Elliot was a trained investi-
gator. Even without Holt at his side
he would probably have unearthed the
truth about the Kamatlah situation
But with the little miner by his side
to tell him the facts, he found his task
an easy one.
Selfridge followed orders and le
him talk with the men freely. All o.
them had been drilled till they knew
their story like parrots. They wer'
suspicious of the approaches of Ell
lot, but they had been warned tina
they must appear to talk candidly
The result was that some talked to-
much and some not enough. They lie
slip admissions under skillful examl
nation that could be explained on n
other basis than that of compan
ownership.
Roth Selfridge and Rowland outdi
Themselves In efforts to establish clos
social relations. But Gordon was car
full to put himself under no obligation
Within two weeks Elliot had I'll
ished his work at Kamatlah.
"Off for Kusiak tomorrow" he to-
