3 Mexicans Killed

Three Mexicans were run over and
killed and their bodies ground to
pieces by Missouri Pacific freight
train near Kang Center early last
Monday morning. They were Jose
Mareino, Hose Pereg and Vincent
Candaleria.
The bodies were taken in charge
by the coroner, DIR. e. o. McC1eary
and W. w. Griffin, undertaken. and
taken to Olney Springs where an in
quest was held. The jury's verdict
was to the effect that the men came
to their death by accident. due to
carlessness on their own part. The
jury was composed of Sam Woodruff,
E. B. Parrish. O. L. Hiatt. H. B. Mill
house, A. A. Ladd and w. N. Dennis.
The men had evidently been asleep
on the track and when killed their
bodies rolled and ground under a
whole train. The bodies were cut
and chopped to pieces in a horrible
manner.

Rich Land To
Be Redeemed

Olney Springs-The election here
last Saturday to vote on the question
of a drainage diDtrict resulted in n
unanimous decision in favor of the
proposed plan. Directors were elect
ed as follows:
j. N. Bishop.
S. T. Husson
T.. Is. Parrish.
The district takes in over 1000
acres running from OIney east to the
road leading north and south at the
King Center school house. but one
40 acre tract being east of that road
The district is of like width north and
south.
In organizing his drainage district
and putting in the system the lands
will either be reclaimed or saved from
seep. There is portion of the 2 2.00O
acres which is already seep land and
much of the balance 10 being damag
ed. The land is some of the finest in
the county and takes in some of the
fine orchard tracts in the vicinity.
With the organization of this drain
age district the directors are EN-
powered to proceed with the neces
s-ry arrangements and the first thing
will be to have an engineer make
complete survey and eStimate the cost
of the system. An estimate was made
at one time, a couple or three years
ago. but it will be higher now than
then. That estimate was. it is stated.
between s35 and $40 per acre.
1t is not known how long 1t will
take to put in the system but the plan
is to rush all preliminary work so
that the dttchcs may be run this fall
and winter.
with the reclamation of the seen
land in that vicinity some rich soil
will be brought under cultivation and
it will also eliminate what is now -
rather unsightly place. The district
is organized under the laws of Colo
rEdo and the district may proceed in
manner similar to an incorporated
town or school district as to voting
bonds and such other conduct of the
district association.

Sunday Morning Talk
OUR MASTERS FAITH IN .Us..

Our Master asks nothing of us which He does not return in still greater measure. His first and su = preme demand is personal trust. He asks that the soul shall venture upon putting itself without reserve into His hands for salvation. The one thing for a man to do if he is to do God's will is to believe on Him whom God has sent The faith that outleaps all possibilities and comes to realize what Jesus Christ is in meeting our human needs is what makes men His disci- ples and brings love and obedience.
 Just as truly. however. as the Lord asks faith, He also gives it, and that in he face of still greater difficulties than we encounter in trusting in Him. He gives it in every term by which He designates those who have been brought to believe in Him. When He speaks of them as "my disciples" and is not ashamed to call them brethren, He associates them with Himself in 8 way which makes Him responsible for them So when He allows them to be called Christians He puts His own name on them in an eminent degree.
 More striking still. is His action in allowing and inspiring His apostles to call them saints or conSecrated per- sons. term applied in the Epistles not to a few eminent disciples but to the whole body of those who confess His name He makes the advance Of His cause dependent in great measure upon our faithfu1ness in commission and labor He has put that treasure in earthen vessels, that He may shew His confidence in His people.

MEETING THE SITUATION.

We'll may attention be directed to the improvement that has been
 brought about in our army transport
 service since the time when we en- tered the, war It was maintained by Germany that the United States could not become a potent factor in the war because it would be impossible to get it's forces across the Atlantic. It cer- tainly was a rnonstrous task to be faced and if we had been left to our own resources and organization for handling that job it could not have been accomplished in time to have had our forces take the part they did in ending the war. We were not equipped to meet the requirements. but fortunately by a recognition of the need on the part of the assoeia ted powers of getting our forces across at the earliest possible moment sh .ps were withdrawn from other service and used for the transportation of our troops with marked success.
 Since that time this country has been doing much for itself. It has received: the benefit of vessels con- structsd but it has also acquired much additional tonnsee so that for some time it has been solely respon- sible for the rapl1 manner in which the troops are, being brought home.
 Especially noiawu: thy in this re- spect is the recent accomplishment of the transport Great Northern which made the rodnI rip from New York to Brest and back. again in twelve days being ajale to take. or. i:s load in Bres4 Tharbor in the short time of five hours. That is probably snly one of the nnary instances of magnificent attainments 1n this direction but t shows what can Le accon plished through ,preparat:pp when the need exists. It shows how well we are now, meeting the. situation.

SHOULD HAVE THE FACTS.

From the statements that are. be- ing made from day to day it is quite evident that there is much to be harmed yet in connection with the provision of the treaty of peace con cerning the Shantung peninsula and how it came to be enscted in that form.
 There are declarations on the part ef Japanese representatives to the ef- feet that Japan does not. intend to hold the whole of the peninsula ex- cert for a brief time. say six months o- year, that it then proposes to re- turn all but the Kiauci1au district to China even as it has agreed to, though such does not appear in the treaty But even if such is the intention and promise the treaty calls. for the Jap snese control of the Shantung rail- way and mines and nothing is said about giving them back. the terms of the treaty being to the effect that they will become and remain Japa- rese, property. ~
 On the =otller hand it is a dmitted by President, Wilson that Japan forced the allies to give. it Shantung that they did not approve it but it was the enly thing that could be done in or der to get Japan to join the league ef nations and stay in the peace con- ference, and it is declared that he hfnted that Japan had made prom ises that would be of value to the United States
 It -is- to be sincerely hoped that these promises of vaife to the United States were not exacted from Japan at the expense of China, toward which this country has always stood as a friend but it is quite evident in regard to the intentions of Japan. the promises it has made and the basis on which the treaty provision was set ncd that the facts should be revealed Otherwise we can hardly have an open cDrenant penly arrived at.
