arrived Monday from Clayton
and are getting settled for the
year in Roy. Rev. Wilson met
with an accident which injured
leg so he came on crutches but
is improving rapidly and will
soon be able to take up his duties
here.
This will settle the muddle we
made with the Methodist preach
ers, Rev. Pratt is the minister at
Solano Circuit and is on duty
there but will live here this Win
ter that their little daughter may
attend High School in Roy Rev.
Wilson is the regular Minister
here and will take active charge
of this circuit.
We are glad to have them both
here. This gives Roy four resi-
dent Clergymen and one intermit
tent. Four preachers and no
saloons is better than four
saloons and no preach er as it
once was.

Another Tragedy

Another tragedy occurred in
Roy Monday resulting in the
death of Mr.. C. J. r. de Clemen-
ceau, electrician, who came here
last week from Ell Rito, N. M.
and was employed at the Roy
Garage on some electrical work
expecting to go soon to Springer
to take charge of the electric
light plant there. He fell with
a telephone pole, he had climbed
and was st2&ushed that he died
22 hours later without 'regaining
consciousness.
A telephone pole was broken
off by an auto the night before
and Joe Gillstrap, owner of the
Phone system, went to reset it
and at the request Of j. w. Beck
Mgr. Of the Roy Garage he with
the voluntary help of Garage
employees; started to move the
pole to less dangerous position
1t was entirely broken off at
bottom and all the others declin-
ed to climb the pole to loosen the
wires. Mr.. Clemenceau put on
his climbers and went up the
pole against the protest of the
others and reaching the top, in
stead of loosening the wires he
cut them with his pliers. The
pole toppled over of course and
ne, being strapped to it fell with
it His breast and ribs were crush
ed and he suffered a concussion
of the brain from which he did
not rally.
At z O'Clock next morning he
died.
The body was laid away in the
Roy Cemetery Tuesday afternoon
Rev. O.W. Hearn reading a
short service at the grave.
Mr.. Clemenceau was a useful
citizen, an expert electrician
and a highly educated man,
having been schooled by the
franciscan Monks in Paris,
France. He has no relatives in
this country and claims apparent
ly with good authority that he
is a relative of Premier Clemen-
ceau, of France. He was very
eccentric in many ways, one of
his peculiarities was going
barefoot,
Mr.. Beck who has known him
long and intimately, held him
in high regard and Mr.. Gil
strap, who was with him at the
accident especially grieved at his
death. The community as
whole regrets his untimely end.
A fitting tribute to his memory
is the words of Ebert Hubbart,
whom he greatly admired
Life is a Voyage and we are
all sailing under sealed orders.
We plan, plot, scheme and ar
range, and some fine day Fate
steps in and our dreams are toss
ed into the yeasty deep. We
grin and bear it-anyway we
bear it; it is the only thing to do, Il
Over the evening of our dreams
there steals the thought that we
have been used by an Unknown ,
Power for an Unseen End"
Fate is frequently out of the
things we want and gives us ,
something just as good, and the
strange part of it is--it is just as
good. |
''Merciful Christ! Is this for q
me? you cry, and Fate answers :
"For you"
The years go by and there :
comes an earnest suspicion that :
all is good even the wormwood
and the gall" " y

 The Senate military committee, with Secretary Baker as it's first witness, opens hearings tomorrow on the s12,- 000,00o,000 army appropriation bill. Several other witnesses will follow, but the committee hopes to report the bill next week.

 Senate and House conferees will be- gin work tomorrow on the $1,610, 900, . 900 naval appropriation measure, and deadlocks between conferees on the agricultural. postoffice and rivers and harbors appropriation bills promise TO be settled during the week. The Sem ate is expected to instruct it's con- ferees to yield and strike out the Gore amendment to the agricultural bill in creasing the government guaranteed minimum wheat price to s2.50 a bushel.

 Consideration of the Underwood rule. proposing limitation of debate dur ing the war. will be resumed tomorrow by the Senate. Indications are that Senator Borah's amendment providing for discussion of treaty in open in- stead of executive session will be de- teated. but that the Underwood rule amended to permit one hour and a half speeches instead of one hour as origi- nally proposed will be adopted.
