GATES FORTUNE TO
BUILD MODEL CITY
Multi-Millionaire Who Died in Cody
Furnished Wealth to Make
Illinois Dream City

st. Charles. Illinois. is being
made a dream city by two young
people who are sharing the $685.
100000 inheritance of Chas w. (Bet
a Million) Gates, whose fortune fell
to the st. Charles belle, Dellora An
CELL.
The whole country two or three
years & gave its approval when
Dellora Angel. with all her millions
married Lester Norris, a struggling
newspaper cartoonist and her girl
hood sweetheart This happily sit
uated couple expressed themselves
satisfied with small town life in st.
Charles and retreated to a quiet
home there.
Today the Norrises are up to their
necks in plans and projects for MAX
ing st. Charles a model community
carrying out their childhood
dreams of the day when they might
come back to their home town with
the means to make it a fair city.
Already Lester has a quarted-of-
ambition dollar theatre under con-
%struction. He has bought the town
~ a IAhiiAA5 ~ a
it a model publication. He is build
ing an 1S-hole golf course at Alta
Vista. located near his home, and is
active in preserving the beauty spots
of the district by purchasing wooded
districts. And to preserve the quiet
of the neighborhood he has bought
a dance hall, which has been a
source of annoyance. and closed it.
Townspeople are appreciative of
the two young citizens who are
using their almost unlimited means
to give them a model city.
They will talk endlessly about
this young fairy couple who have
retained their faith in the old home
town. despite their fortune.
Gates Benofactor of Cody
Charles G. "Bet-a-Million' Gates.
as he was known all over the world
for his mania for gambling, died
in Cody October 2Sth. 1913, after
he had spent several weeks in the
mountains on a big game hunt with
Ned Frost. Previous to his death
Mr.. Gates had given away several
thousand dollars to those who had
become acquainted with him in and
around Cody. and to the Cody
churches made cash gifts equivalent
to their church Indebtedness.
His visit to Cody was so colorful
that he will be remembered by all
of the residents of the county at
that time. The city of st Charles
is indeed fortunate that it is to re-
ceive the advantages of his col
lossal fortune.

NASH OUTPUT SHOWS
Big INCREASE In 1925

Riding the crest of a wave of out
spoken countrywide endorsement
and approval of the new special six
and advanced six models. Nash Mo-
tors in July did three times the bus
mess of the same month a year ago.
Added to this, it is pointed out by
the company officials that increased
production because of the heavy de-
mand will make August, in point of
both production and sales, the great
est month the Nash Motors COM
pany has ever experienced.
"In spite of a definite schedule
for greatly increased production in
August at both the Kenosha and
Milwaukee plants" said E. H. Nc
Carly, general sales manager of
Nash Motors. Orders already on
hand are greatly in excess of the
August production schedule. In fact
at this time these orders are 80
per cent greater than production
possibilities and this figure will be
increased each day as additional
orders for August delivery are re-
ceived by the factory"
Nash Motors has been in an over
sold condition practically every
month since August of last year, at
which time the special and advanced
six series cars were first announced.
Month after month throughout the
fall and winter, Nash Motors record
ed heavy gains in production and
sales. while during these same
months the entire industry reported
losses. Then came the announce
ment in July of the refined improved
series of Nash special and advanced
six models with the result that
show rooms throughout the country
were thronged with buyers and an
increased production vas made nee
essary at the factory.

BIGGEST TIE DRIVE NOW
ON WAY DOWN BIG WIND

The biggest tie drive in the his
tory of the Wyoming Tie & Lumber
company is now on it's way down
the Big Wind river at Riverton, hav-
ing been turned loose on Thursday
of last week. In this drive there
are 5000 railroad ties, and ia
1915, the first year in which a drive
was made, there were $4,000 ties
and some fence posts. These fl

mont county. particularly under the
present efficient management.
Ordinarily the tie drive, which
employs more than one hundred
men. divided into two camps, starts
about the first of July, and has
never before been started later than
9TH of the month. The high water
condition of the Big Wind and its
tributaries this eason caused the
delay. and it was only within the
past week that the conditions were
considered as favorable for turning
in considerably more than a half
million railroad ties to start on their
journey down the Big Wind to Riv-
erton. where they will be taken out
of the water, piled up to dry and
then treated in the tie treating plant
of the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way.
Under favorable conditions the
drive should be completed in about
six weeks.
One of the big sights of the year
is the Big Wind at Riverton when
these ties arrive. are caught by the
boom and piled high up in the river.

said DR.. Cole, land in this way he
finds himself working side by side
with biologist and geologist."
The statement told the study Of
mans body by instruments revealing
history collected in skeletons every.
where. The anthropologist also
works with the anatomist, he said.
DR.. Cole called attention to the
tain members Of the animal world in
every bone and organ Of his body.
Differences are noted but they are
differences Of degree rather than Of
kind. Those animals most closely re-
sembling man, he declared, are the
anthropoid apes.
"A careful study shows that they
have specialized In their way quite
as much as man has in his, so that
while they are very similar. yet it is
evident that mans line of descent Is
not through any Of these anthropoids.
1T does appear, however, that both
man and other primates have a COM
mon precursor, but that the anthro-
poids must have branched off from
the common stock in very remote
times. If this is true then, then we
might hope to find in ancient strata
of the rocks some evidences of earlier
forms Of men, who might perhaps
more closely approach the common
ancestor. This is exactly the case"
DR.. Cole went on to tell Of dis
covery Of bones of being which ap-
peared to be an attempt of nature
toward man. His statement continued
to recount the result of Investigations
revealing bones of animals seeming
to stand midway between man and
the highest anthropoids.
"Only a few points relating to man
and his history have been reviewed"
continued the statement, "but enough
has been said to indicate that the
testimony of mans body, Of his EN-
Theological lite, of his fossil remains,
strongly points to the fact that he is
closely related to the other members
Of the animal world, and that his de-
velopment to his parents form has
taken place through immense periods
Of time.
1T seems conclusive that it is i'm
possible to teach anthropology or the
pre- history of man without teaching
evolution"

Chicago, July 2O-LR)-With re-
ports at hand that cutting Of wheat
had begun in North Dakota and that
weather conditions northwest were
favorable, the wheat market took a
decided early swing downward to-
day. Many traders were apparently
acting on opinions that recent sharp
advances in price had discounted
crop damage and advices, and that a
reaction was to be looked for. Ram
in parts of Alberta had some furth-
er bearish influence. The opening.

l-2, was followed by setbacks all
around with Sept. touching $l.5S 3D.
and December $l.54 IA.
Favorable weather over the corn
belt led to lower prices for corn and
oats. Starting at SAC decline to
l-8 advance, Sept. $l.O6 "a to To,
corn underwent a material drop that
carried Sept. down to $l.O4 Ia
Oats opened unchanged to l-2c off
Sept. 45 So. Later. the decline be-
came general.
Lower quotations on hogs weaken
ed provisions.
Subsequent rallies failed to last.
notwithstanding that the movement
of corn remains relatively small.
Corn closed weak, 1-2c to l 5-8c net
lower, Sept. $1.O4 ga "a 78c.
Heavily increasing receipts of win
ter wheat here counted as a depress-
ing influence later, although the
market appeared to become oversold
at times. Chicago arrivals of wheat
today totaled 427 carloads. The mar
ket closed easy 3-4c a &c net lower,

mentioned"
Continuing, he discussed the dis
cOvery of bodily remains in the fos-
siliferous rocks which form series
showing increasing complexity.
Evolution is the only key found tt
the geographical distribution of ami
mails and plants and to the differ.
ences noted between them, he assert
ed. He pointed as evidence of evolu.
ton to the vestigial organs in ami
mails and plants.
"There are in man, for example
very many structures Of no conceiv-
able present use, but showing re-
semblances to organs i'm other ami
mails which are useful" he said. The
appendix vermiformis, and the wis
dom teeth of man, he pointed to as
examples. He also pointed to the
similarity of various organs in re-
lated animals.
All Organs Used
"Probably there is no structure in
the human body" he said, (which
was not at some time used for a
different purpose. AS the use of the
organ changes in evolution it's struc-
ture correspondence changes and We
see most complete series of inter
grades between the earlier and the
later conditions"
He explained that there was no
such thing as species in nature, but
that the words Species" genus"
family etc, were terms used to
describe the fact that animals and
plants differed among themselves and
differ to different degrees.
Intelligent teaching Of biology or
any intelligent approach to biological
science is impossible if the estab-
lished fact of evolution is omitted. he
declared
discussions of the methods by
which evolution has been brought
about is less essential, but the fact
of evolution must be appreciated and
the evolutionary point Of view must
be emphasized for any understanding
of the growth of the universe. of the
earth, Of plants or animals; for any
proper grasp of the facts of structure
or function of living bodies as in
volyed in medicine and in animal and
plant husbandry; psychology, whether
OF normal or diseased minds, must
constantly remember the processes
OF evolution; human societies with
their diverse customs, are untelligible
without the facts of their origins and
changes"
While he said there we're varied
opinions as to the causes of evolu-

"Thence we turn to discussion
Of Darwin's work, declaring his ac-
complishment was twofold.
'In the first place he established
organic evolution as the only rea-
sOnable explanation of the past his
tory Of living things. Secondly, he
offered in natural selection what
then appeared an adequate explana-
tion for the origin of species and
henceforth the causes of evolution"
Detailed Discussion
Continuing, he went into a de-
tailed discussion of the two accom-
plishments of the scientist, declaring
that although theories Of natural Sc
lection had suffered decline with
in recent years, no other hypothesis
of the causes of evolution has COM
pletely replaced it.
With evolution of all other living
things, both animal and plant, "over-
whelmingly attested by the facts" he
declared it mot only impossible, but
puerile to separate man from the
general course of events.
Moreover, the evidence for mans
existence is becoming clearer year
by year"
Physiology, he said. is making evil
dent the animal foundation of hu-
man intelligence, asserting that
mans claim to independence in the
universe lies not in the pretense that
this planet was made for him, but
in the claim that he transcends the
material universe insofar as he COM
prehends it.
1T appears that the races Of the
eastern Mediterranean, like other
primitive people, had their tradi-
tions Of the origin of the world. The
story in Genesis apparently descend
ed to the early Hebrews and to theil
neighbors in Mesopotamia from a
source far antedating the appear
ance Of the Jews as people and
their sacred writings.
Historical Facts
Archaeology and ethnology must
reasonably indicate that in its origin
this Hebrew Babylonian tradition
may be compared with the stories
of many other primitive peoples. We
take the story in Genesis seriously
into account as historical facts be-
cause it is our tradition handed
down to US through many genera
tions.
