The pupils that started the fun had
retreated into the Conway home,
closely pursued by the victorious
pupils of the Miller School
Police Judge w. E. Arnett, in
questioning one of the little mem
bers of the victorious Miller band,
asked him what started all the
trouble which resulted in Mr.. Con

the arrest OF seven of the Miller
School boys. The boy replied. I'VE

we took them into camp at base

DROP FREIGHT RATES
But LET ROADS LIVE
Wallace Says Rail Tariffs Must Be
Dropped: Roads Remain Private

The American farmer is determined
freight rates. Henry Wallace, secre-
tary Of agriculture, declared in an ad-
dress 20 five thousand Iowa farmers
in Davenport, Iowa, last week
The farmer has no quarrel with the
railroads" Wallace asserted. The
farmer doesn't want government own
eTship, but he does insist, and will
continue TO insist with increasing
force, upon the reduction of rail
freight rates to a point where they
are IN equitable proportion 10 his
market return and the costs of pro-
dEciug and marketing.
Some persons believe that II farm
ers had their way they would put
rates SO low that the railroads could
not possibly operate he continued.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth The farmer has q direct inter
est in efficient railroad operation and
knows that their returns must be suf-
flcient 20 keep capita! in the business.
There was nothing in the three
years experience with government
control of the nations railroad system
to cure him of the belief that private
ownership, properly regulated, is best
"A way must be found TO bring
down freight rates without nnpairing
in any way the efficiency OF the coun-
trys transportation service"
He gave this comparison of what the
average revenue for hauling ton Of
freight one mile, would buy in 1918
and in 1921.

of commissioners Of Carbon county,

fences across old roads in the southern
part of the county at points where
homesteaders have closed the roads by
fences enclosing their claims. The
position of the county commissioners

kEEPING RANGE CATTLE
UNDER FENCED PASTURE

The experiment Of keeping range
cattle in fenced pasture is being tried
out quite successfully by d. c. Mason
of Pitk1n, who has about 100 head q
his ranches under Tomich Dome. He
has around 1000 acres well fenced
and very good native pasture supports
them in good shape. That is would
do better with selected seeded grasses
and irrigation is of course true. In
fact irrigated pasture well seeded i
claimed to carry q COW brute to the
acre.
Mr.. Mason declares that there arO
very great advantages in fenced pas
ture and thinks that more and more
our ranchmen will come TO II. The
stock becomes tame and puts on flesh
easier. There are no expensive losses
from poison and other dangers Of the
range. OF course he has an unusually
good layout, and one capable Of being
made twice as good, since over 800
acres of the 1000 can be plowed and
irrigated in time.
