LITTLE HIRED
TO REPRESENT
NORTH DAKOTA
Lincoln, Neb., Rate Expert
Engaged For Grain and
Ignite Rate Cases

J. A. Little, Lincoln, Neb., freight
rate expert, has been retained by the
state railroad board and the attOr-
ney generals office to represent
North Dakota in the grain and lig-
mite freight rate cases. it was an
n0unced here today.
Action was taken after an all-day
conference between Little, Attorney
General George Shafer and Frank
Miihollan. chairman Of the state
railroad board. Under the terms Of
the agreement Little will devote all
his time to representing North Da.
kota's interests and will be paid
jointly by the attorney generals Of
flee and the state railroad board.
Little served as freight rate ex-
pert for the state railroad board un-
til about nine years ago when he
went to Washington to serve as an
independent rate expert and COM
merce counsellor. Several years ago
he opened his office in Lincoln, Ncb.,
and has been active in numerous
freight rate hearings. He is ex.
pectcd to prove especially valuable
in connection with the Ignite hear
ings since he was active in this
state when the first Ignite rates
were established. Stanley b. Houck,
Minneapolis, who has been serving
as special commerce counsel in the
Ignite rate cases, will be retained
in that position and Little will as
sist him.
Cases Very Important
In a statement to which the attor.
ncy general gave assent, Milhollan
said that in employing Little to aid
in presenting the case Of North Da-
kota shippers and farmers, the two
state departments recognized that
the cases arc of the utmost import
ancc to the state and are working
together to provide the best avail
able assistance.
The graiE rate case was instituted
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and affects the grain rate
structures Of all states lying west
of the Mississippi river and the state
of Illinois. State, as we'll as inter
state and export rates, are involved
he said.
The first hearing in the grain rate
case will be held at Dallas, Texas
on May 8, Milhollan said, and Little
will represent North Dakota there.
Milhollan to Attend
Milhollan also will attend as one
Of committee of three. invited BY
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to sit with it in deciding the
case. Since he will sita as one Of the
judges in the case, Milhollan said
he was especially anxious to have
the best available talent to present
the case for North Dakota. A com.
mittee OF rate experts representing
20 states is working on the general
aspects of the case, he said, but
each state will be expected to pro-
tect itself with regard to rates OF
especial Importance to it.
The Ignite case is result of the
recent action of the legislature in
directing the state railroad board to
make q complete investigation of all
items affecting Ignite shipments,
either state or interstate. Action to
review the rates on Ignite already
have been taken by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, however
Both state and interstate rates on
Ignite are involved, Milhollan said.

ance to universal natural law.
We also know that the sun, the
moon and the planets enact their part
in the routine of our day and night,
our seasons, tides, etc, in an orderly
manner. There is no part of this
work NEUROLOGICAL or haphazard.
Therefore when we consider genesis
of our insignificant earth in this great
universal work, we must consider it
in accordance with universal law and
order.
Whatever this great Creative Pow
er that effects our universe may be,
this much we can know: it is an or
derly work. To know the truth of
our Grand Canyon; it was effected at
the last transition of our earth, which
at time just as regular and orderly
as the rising and setting of the sun
and moon our earth ceased its rota-
ton and passed through the heavens
by the action of similar universal
law as that which has passed comets
we have witnessed through the heav-
ems. This truth is easily explicable
in nature by natures laws; also in
true conformity to the Book of Gene
sis of the Bible, so logical that one
has no missing link to search for.

THE GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA
A MINER TELLS HOW TT WAS DUG


How many have viewed it and won
dered what has caused this great
chasm, while many are the varied
ideas conceived of its origin. Which
is true? If true, what are the reasons
that verify it as true? If one can
not explain with reasons that conform
to the true immutable natural laws
about US, he is then only theorizing
and has no foundation of truth.
Let US consider a creative work
with common sense reason, setting
aside all sympathy or apathy toward
past or present teachings. This is
known to US, that everywhere about
us is a common destruction and re-
construction, or a shifting of ele-
ments. The miner observes it UNDER
ground among the minerals and
rocks, the agriculturist observes it in
his diversified farming as we'll as in
his other work on the surface, the for
ester witnesses it in the trees and the
stockman knows its effect in his, ami
mails. These changes are not hap
hazard or mythical, they are all in
order and according to set laws.
The growth, or may we say the con-
struction, of a soil, rock, mineral, tree,
plant, animal or most anything about
us is only possible because of a previ-
Gus destruction of d like substance,
for this is law on the earth and has
always been law. That which is
cosmic substance added to the earth
is but very little. Well we know that
The Coconino sun., 1927-06-24

the atmosphere Of the earth is of the
earth alone and does not extend
throughout infinite space, though to
the average layman it is not thought
of as really a part of the earth itself
Yet 1t is as much definite part of
the earth as the terra firma and the
laws therein are just as true as the
laws on the terra firma These
changes, as well as the laws concern
ing them are all true, today as we'll
as in the most remote past we may
conceive. Outlines they are so inn
perceptible that it is impossible to
observe the change only in the terms
of many years.
There are laws Of magnetism, laws
of oxidation, laws of dissolution, laws
of fusion and many others one might
mention, yet it is sufficient to know
that they are and work directly or
indirectly one with the other.
Only when we consider directly with
these laws can we realize truth of the
great creative work about us, Just as
we well know that mans great
achievements in all ages as well as in
the present day were only possible
through the fact that these laws do
exist.
Progress and invention are from
the tendency Of the majority to hold
to the best thoughts of the past and
build upon them, while any new
thought contrary to the educated
teachings OF the day has always met

moose permits at 500 each and 35
bear permits at $25 each we're sold
to non-residents. Wyoming citizens,
acting as guides, received $35, 900
and Mr.. Sanders estimates that the
out-of-state hunters spent an ad-
ditional $4,000 in Wyoming.
when we consider that we sold
in addition, approximately 10000
nonresident game, bird and fish
licenses, making a conservative es-
innate that these stortsmen would
spend at least $25 each for fishing
tackle, ammunition, meals and gaso-
line, it is safe to say that non-resi-
dent hunters spend annually In our
state 100000.
II have not mentioned the major
item, the Wyoming resident sports
men, and can say conservatively
that the game bring the
citizens of the state $4,000 900 pei

WINNING $4,000 FOR NAME
MAKES DREAM COME TRUE

A case of when dreams come
true" vas brought into stern reality
this week when Hans Slmonson, of
Bismark, N. D., went to Chicago to
receive a $4,000 cash prize he had
won In a world contest, conducted
by Sears-Roebuck and Company, to
find a name for a new tire. Until
a few days ago young Simonson
was bending e a drawing board
in the Drafting Department of the
State Highway Commission at Bis
mark. The $4,000 prize was award
ed at a banquet last night in the
Hotel Sherman in honor of the
successful contestants in the con-
test, when the announcement of the
winner was made. Mr.. Simonson
won over close to a million COM
p%etitors with the name "Allstate.'
Young Simonson for a good part
of his twenty years has known
what he would do If he ever got
enough money to carry out his life's
ambition. One of a family of six
brothers and three sisters, he spent
the romping years of his boyhood
on a cot in a hospital, amusing
himself drawing pictures. From the
hospital cot he graduated to crutch-
es and promoted himself from his
pencils to oils. A few years ago
he triumphed over the crutches and
last July secured a position in the
drafting department of the Highway
Commission at Bismark in the hope
OF picking up some technique of
drawing.
When asked after he received his
check for the $4,000 how he would
spend the money, he said: "I am
going back home to spend Christ
mas with the folks. Then 1 am
coming back to Chicago to go To
the Art Institute to study" Adver-
Using art? oh, no. His life am
bition are two-to draw political
cartoons and originate a comic
strip.
This tire naming contest, which
probably is one of the largest ever
staged in point of response brought
entries from close to a million
people. submitting a total of 2.353.-
476 names. They were entered
from every state in the union.
every province in Canada, from
Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, South
America and several points in
Europe and in twenty-five different
languages, including one in Winnie
oago, India and several in the
raised letter writing of the blind.
The second prize of $1,000 was
awarded to Donald S. Gray. of
Ames, Iowa, for the name Dear
born S. R. Cords and the third
prize of $500 was taken by a wo-
man, Mrs. e. M. Decker, OF Fort
Thomas, KY, who submitted the
name IS. R. Argosy." In addition
to these three capital prizes the
company awarded 1857 honorable
mention awards for names of un-
usual interest and merit.

DOING WITHOUT
SLEEP
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

/ HAVE always rather envied Hall.
L Besides having an alert and versa
tile mind, which will do almost any
short time, he can work most unreal
sonable hours and after snatching a
little sleep 60 at 1t again with COM
plete refreshment. -Four or FIVE hours
are all he needs, and If necessary he
can get on with less. / have always
prophesied that doing with so little
sleep would break him down ultimate
ly, but he is fifty years old now and
seems as fresh and vigorous as he did
at twenty, so that If he does break
down he will have gained a consider
able working period.
OF course I know all about Edison
and Napoleon and those geniuses who
are said scarcely to have needed sleep
at all, but Edison is a genius and as
deaf as a post and SC is saved much
of the physical wear and tear thai
m to ordinary mortals, and Ma
poleon had fits. Hall is normal in
every other way excepting that he
needs very little sleep.
1 have always argued that sleep,
being simply a regular attempt of the
body to repair the waste occasioned
by the mental and physical activity
which goes on during our waking
hours and to rid the body of the poi
sons which naturally accumulate,
would be practically done away with
sometime when scientists shall have
discovered proper antitoxins to be in
jected into the veins. 1t isn't at all
a visionary or an impossible thing,
and now the Du Points are working
on 1t with some assurance Of success.
If they succeed, all that viii be nee
essary when a man wants to stay up
all night to balance his bank ccoun
or to finish a book he has begun ear.
lier in the evening, will be to swallow
a tablet or take a hypodermic and 10
the heaviness of the eyes disappears I;
he feels as If he were waking from a
good nights rest; he has had his. sleep.
There are those sleepy heads who
are welded to the box springs and
who find it difficult even after a good
nights rest to drag themselves from
under the down comforter, who will
not look with satisfaction upon the
doing away with sleep or even upon
the reduction of the amount necessary
to get on with. They enjoy the mere
comfort OF sleeping. Physical and
mental unccnsclousness pleases them.
They could sleep twenty-four hours q
day II the opportunity afforded.
Sleeping. excepting as 1t recreates
me, seems a pure waste OF time. IT
isn't that / do not sleep well. but that
have to sleep so much. I've always
hated to give up what was doing
and go to bed, and yet If ! cut down
on my sleep I feel 1t the next day. /
seem NJ to get interested in a book
or n problem or a conversation that
the clock does not strike and I realize
that 1t is time to go to sleep. If the
Du Points succeed in discovering any
thing which will cut down the amount
of sleep necessary, I shall be one OF
their first customers.
