Facsimile Of Last Memorandum Of
Colonel Roosevelt, Peneiled Few
Hours Before He Died.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
OF this interesting document which car
ries a message from him who, being
dead. yet speaketh." In the leading
article of the current number Of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import OF this
last penciled notation OF Mr.. Roose-
velt. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl-
edged leader Of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penclled by his own hand few
hours before his death and addressed
In the form of memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
tion as Chairman Of the National or
ganization he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above In
facsimile:
"'Hays
see him; he must.go to Washington
for 10 days; see Senate and House;
prevent split on domestic policies
Here Is evidenced as clearly as II the
few words filled volume Mr.. R0ose-
velt's realization OF both his RESPONSE
bility and his obligation. The simple
MEMORANDUM marked the inauguration
Of definite party policy, to be carried
through TO a no less definite conclusion.
1t was more than a passing thought or
a mere suggestion. 1t was Message,
sIgnifying the need Of immediate and
unremitting vigilance in achieving
complete unity Of action In resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those Of wider range soon TO be thrust
upon the country-a true soldiers call
first to close the ranks.
Nothing could be more Characters
tic or more clearly illustrative Of the
breadth Of vision, the foresight, the
directness In method and the palnstak'
Ing attention of the man. Nothing,
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
1t is to reconcile oneself to the decree
Of Divine Providence that the re
moyal Of that great patriot at this cru
clal moment was not uptimefy, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestige Of animositles which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he SC
ardently desired against all things un-
American was attained.
THUS we find the Republican party
resuming full Legislative authority
thoroughly united and invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which so often
carried 1t to victory In former years.

EATON EDITOR TELLS
,RAYMER-GROvER GAME

Although We have told Of the game
at Eaton, II is sometimes good to get
the testimony of disinterested par
ty, so We give below the account OF
the game as II appeared in the Ea-
ton Herald, blushingly admitted by
it's editor to be "the best gosh durn-
ed paper in the world"
After describing the game which
preceded our game. the Herald says:
Then came the real game OF the
evening when New Raymer played
on tie with Grover, these two
schools being ahead In their part OF
the county. There were many root
ers from each place and as the Eaton
crowd was about evenly divided in
sympathy there was keen rivalry on
the floor and in the gallery. At the
end OF the first half Grover lead thei-
opponents by a score of IL to and
II looked like a walkaway. In the
second half however New Raymer
popped up and made more baskets
than Grover did. II they had been
able to cage third of the baskets
they tried for in this period they
woulds have won the game The
final score was 10 to 10 in favor of
Grover.
THE dry landers were well pleas
ed with their treatment here. They
say We have fine gym and fine peo.
pie. The game> was a clean game,
well offlciated and everyone went
home satisfied, Grover little more
satisfied than New Raymer."

HIGH SCHUCL WINS
FROM KEOTA HIGH

Las. Friday evening the basket
ball teams of the keota and Raymer
High Schools met on the Raymer
floor and our boys added anoher
game to heir victories. However. 1t
was a victory that they had to work
for, as the Eeota lads PIT up stiff
battle and except that the locals got
started first with a small lead. play
ed an even game to the end Of the
chapter.
The score at the end of the first
half was Is TO Is in favor of Ray
saer, and the second half resulted In
ldatng eleven points to each side OF
the tally sheet. 50 the game ended
with the score 80 to 26 in favor of
Raymer.
When We remember that this was
lac first Meeting OF these teams and
that oar bows hl1 the advantage OF
ia. ais tA .aer uwn door, it rs
quite evident that when our lads go
to keota for the re.aIa game they
will need to be up on their toes to
hold the Keota lads down.
The game between the girls did
not take place as the visiting team
declined to play. several Of their
payers being indisposed, and there
would be no use in going against
the undisputed champions Of eastern
Weld county unless in the pink of
condition.
In fact Raymer's II. S. Girls team
not only are champions, but they
are the unbeaten. and some Of us
think the unbeatable girls team.
II makes little difference to them
wether it's Ravmer or Grover floor,
they 80 right to making baskets and
preventing their opponents from get
ting any worth speaking of and keep
II up with steady consistency that
warms the Raymer blood wherever
and whenever they trot onto the
hoer.
Npw. don't conclude from this that
the Grover girls team is slow, they
are net; but as lively bunch OF
sweet girls as you ever saw In bask-
ct ball bloomers and they go after
the ball from the start with all the
vim they can command and keer
right on until the end Of the game
with pluck and courage that we
admire; but it's no use when they
face the unbeaten queens of the
dry land region.
Our boys are taking lessons from
their sweet-hearts and in time they
too will play to win all the time.
It's a little tedious waiting for
them to learn the lesson, but when
it's learned what celebration we
will have!

BEAUTFY THE lei farm
BY PLANTING TREES

There Is no other improvement
that beauties the farm home as does
a nicely kept grove Of trees. Ny ia
ther set out one OF the first orchards
and groves in Lancashire Co., Neb-
raska about the year 1866 on his
homestead near Lincoln. Many Of
his neighbors laughed at the idea of
planting an orchard on the bleak
prairie but some OF those same
neighbors bought apples from these
same trees in few years after. We
know not the future Of this country
as fruit growing country but it is
worthy of a trial especially for FAM
lily use.
II has been demonstrated that for;
est trees especilly Of the hardy var
tiles will grow nicely here with
proper planting and cultivation.
Some nice groves can be seen only
few miles from here southeast of
St0neham few miles also, north and
south Of Willard are some very nice
groves. The different species Of the
cottonwood. the elm, ash, and will
low are some OF the very hardy var
eties for this climate.
For ornamental trees one cannot
beat the evergreens. the spruce and
pines right at our doors in the Rocky
Mountains.
Lilacs and rose bushes will grow
in nearly any soil and will add much
TO the beauty OF the front yard.
How we enjoy thinking Of the old
orchard and the beautiful shade trees
back OF the old home and how We
can almost smell those lilal bloom,
along with the beautiful pink and
yellow roses. set out by. the hands
that have finished their work on this
earth and have gone to beautify an
other home for us.
As they set out and cultivated
those trees that made our childhood
home beautiful, 80 must We beauti-
fy our Colorado homes. II you ever

Sterling Morton and see the beauti-

ural or planted Is beautiful. We on

College, who says: what is the use
Of treating grain for smut and then

The drill should first be cleaned

A little incident that came to light
after the game last. Friday night was
very unpleasant feature OF what was
otherwise an evening OF splendid
sport and the best OF feeling. When
the young man The Enterprise man
stays with came to 20 home he found
that his mackinaw and driving nit
tens were not In the car where he
had left them. A fash light and
little investigation discovered the
missing articles In Under the back
seats OF two visiting cars. The visi-
tors disclaimed any knowledge of
how they got there, and II was init
mated that they had been put there
by some Raymer party to get the
visitors In bad. We are not 80 anx-
i0us that the guilty party be pun
ished. as we are that no innocent
party should rest under suspicion
Therefore. we want to say that lit
tie investigation satisfies us that the
act was done while the game was go
ing on; that none of either team
knew anything about 1t until the ar
ticles were missed 1t was supposed
that evening that the same party
had lost some money taken from his
clothes in the dressing room, but the
next morning he discovered the
purse In the pocket OF another pair
of trousers. However Leslie Felker
did find his pocket book on the floor
of the dressing room, minus all OF
the change that was In II when he
came. or course. we all know that
there is always tendency to attrib-
ute any missing of property to theft.
II there is any thieving going on.
In this connection II might not be
out of place to call attention that
playing jokes on ears. such as shut
ting off the gas, serewing down the
points in the coil box and other ex-
hibitions Of cuteness might get one
! into trouble. The habit OF keeping
your hands off from other people S
things is a mighty good habit to ac-
quire. We have said we feel certain
that certain parties did not Jake the
things; we have not said who we
thought did take them. We don't
know, but We would like to, but we
don't propose to brand any commun
I ity for what is the crme OF one or
two individuals.
