According to an opinion rendered by tbe Supreme Coart in tbe esse of the Slate aifainct Dr. R. E. Lee Stein- er, superintendent of tbe insane asy lum, all employes of state institutions come within tbe eight-hour law. Contending that tbe eight-hour law was applicable to state institutions, Labor Commissioner Hod several months ago had Vt. Steiner arrested for working a farm band at the asylum over eight hours a day. Proceeding on the theory that the law did not ap ply re labor employed by the state save through contracts, and that the mess ore was unconstitutional attorneys tor Dr. Steiner sued out writ of habeas corpus int his behalf. Tbe Supreme ; Court decided againBt tbem on both questions, dismissing the writ and Dr. Steiner ia subject to a fine of not less than 150 and not more than $1000 for violating the measure. At a later conference between State Treasurer Eay and Attorney General Crawford, tboie officials agreed that tbe Supreme Cocrt s opinion, that the eight-hour law applied to employes of state institutions should be inter preted to refer only to farm laborers and engineers, the two, specific in stances brought before the court in the above mentioned case. With this con dition (he deficiency will be far less than should the minimum law apply to all classes of work in Btate institutions.

Tbe funeral was held Sunday afternoon in Keno. The Young: Man Modesto (Cal.) Nevs: lnis is the oay of tbe young man. Never before were opportunities open to him, never before did experience count for so little as now. Every where young men are shouldering responsibilities which would have been cosidered impossible two decades ago. Attention should be given to tbe middle-aged man. His merits do not seem to be consideied. 'I he young men of today will be mid-die-aged tomorrow. To keep their place they must march side by side with progress, Let them dare to get ever so little behind he times and they're immediately put on the shelf But any one who baa been placed there should fall right otf again. Don't stay "put." New Pine Creek. Dec. SO. (Special) The Holiday Season naa been appropri ately observed in New Pine Creek.

In 1004 he helped to or ganize the First National Bank of Lakeview, being at the time a director and stockholder in the tank. He yet retained his interest as stockholder in the institution. Politically be was an active member of tbe Democratic party, having filled offices of trust and responsibility. In the Fall of 1878, when the county seat was removed from Linkville to Lake view, Mr. McCallen was appointed county treasurer, and served for eight een consecutive years. For one year be served as councilman of this city, and for one term filled the mayor's chair. Fraternally be was a member of Lakeview Lodge No. 63, I. O. O. F., later being transferred to the Ashland lodge. He was also a charter member of Lakeview Encampment No. 18. . The death of Andrew McCallen re moves another ot tbe commanding fig ures which during his career had always been conspicuous and at times dominating in the public affairs of the entire southern portion of this sate, and the news uf bis death will carry a aevere shock to bis multitude of friends and acquaintances. Continued from first pko Any factor or any manner in wnich the one can advance tbe interest of the othr brings sunstsntial and direct benefits to toth parties. While the rsilroads have been learning ttieir les sun, the people too hsve been gradtisl' ly ascertaining that railroads represent capital, brains and courage. Wherever they neve gone they have brought improved condition, made living bet ter in every nmteriiil way. Th men and women who rode from Amedee to Lakeview on the stage on a cold, win try day can testify to this. Happily, tne sentiment referred to in the following lines of Mason's are not so pertinent now as a short time ago: "If you build aline of railway, over bills and berrenlandu, giving lucrative employment to about a million hands, it you cause a score of cities by your right-of-way to rise, where there formerly was nothing but some rattlesnskes and flies; if when bringing kale to others, you acquire a little kale, then you've surely robbed the peepul and ought to be in jail." Lakeview, Alturan and every town aurroonded by an acre of unproducing land paya the penalty in stagnation. In tbe same ratio the railroad Buffers. Naturally then, the interests of tbe railroad and of the people whom it serves are identical and one cannot be injured without inflicting a like injury upon the other. This road is a narrow gauge running thru 140 miles of almost hopeless des ert and another bundled miles of country of exceptional possibilities. The management finds no difficulty in taking care of all the traffic produced by the country at this time. But it welcomes the day when it can throw its 240 miles of trackage, its ears, en gines and general equipment into the scrap heap and replace them with $2,- 000,000 worth of troad guage equipment. In Other words the road will not only keep pace .with the development of the country, but will keep u lap or two ahead. The natural resources of the northern oountry, if developed to an average capacity would keep a broad guage road busy. All of the problems in whioh the people are vitally interested, effecting railroad rates, transportation, conven iences, etc., adjusted themselves with tbe changing economic conditions. Some years ago the people of this country said that all they needed was a railroad and big things would follow. Tbey got the railroad. But tbe big things did not materialize. 7 ben they said the rates were too hign. xne rates were reduced. Now obviously tbe next move should come from the producers. Tonnage is the life blood of a rail road. Taxed to its capacity, a smaller margin for profit would yield more satisfactory returns than a higher rate with spasmodic shippings. There is not a queation that can ever ariue between a railroad and the peo ple which cannot be eatisfatorily ad justed. A spirit of antagonism ot the people toward a carrier on one band and a policy of intolerant Independence on the part of the carrier toward the people it seeks to serve, are alike sui- II. V.

Miller came over from Cedar villa last week to spend Xmas with his famtlv, Mr. Miller is a very pleasant gentleman and we are always glad to see him. We have been informed that New Pine Creek may soon have a news paper. A committee was appointed at the Commercial Club last Monday night to see if enough money can be raiaed to put in a plant here. The New Pine Creek Commerelal Club met at the Opera House last Monday night. Mr, N. E. (Juyot was elected president and J. Scott Taylor secretary. We are glad to see the club revive and feel that with a live man like Mr. (Juyot at the head much good ran be done, A man was arrested at Lakeview last week by Sheriff Snider on com plaint of N. ii. Le Hoy who claimed that the man stole some goods from his csbin, but Mr. Le Koy failed to produce enough evidence to pruve the man guilty and Justice of the Peace U. H. Aldridge turned him loose.

Adequate seivice to the people is vital to their prosperity and the rail roads on tbe other hand are entitled to that consideration which their Invest ment and efforts would command any where. Time wee when the terra "farmer" was synonomoua with contempt. It implied shortcomings which included toe whole list of human fallings. Not so today. Farming is a science. One of tbe biggest and finest In the whole world. The writer remembers the day when the small potatoes were selected for seed and the large ones sold. Any thing was good enough for seed. To- dav we know that the beat results are obtained only when we apply the prin ciple of scientific selection. We have found that "like produces like". In one section of Nebraska the "only a farmer clans" failed to raiBe enough potstoes fur their own use. Soma of the scientific Colorado potato raisers came there, analysed the soil, rented and bought ground. One damphool put out three hundred acress in pota toes. The nutlvea laughed. Thnt was their last laugh because the men who knew how took three and four hundred sacks per acre from ground which formerly hardly repaid the seed. We know something about seed selec tion, something more about crop rota tion. We know tbe value of certain chemicals in the soil, what products thrive better in one soil thsn another. One of the first leSHons well learned was that 80 acres well farmed bring, a larger return than live hundred acre indifferently farmed. It le not tbe aereage but the manner of tbe effort that counta. Back of everv effort there should be an intelligent plan. If yoo have a big place and are getting inadequate re sults, try fsrmmg a fraoiion of It and selling the remainder. Money la worth all per cent without effort and I know ot a lot ot men In this valley who are not making that on their big farms. Aside from the direct financial bene fit which will acme to you by follow ing aucb a policy cornea also the natur al increase in values which follows an Influx of homeseekers and aettlers. This country can take care of five times the present population and when Ihe increase comes we will hsve a better country, bstter schools, better roads, better and more teautiful cities. Twenty years ago Ihe land In the Salt Like Valley. Utah, could be bought very much as the sage brush lands around Lakeview can be bought for tiNiay, i. e. around $25.00 per acre. Today that I and is selling for from S2O0 to $1000 per acre. It requires no gift of prophecy to see thst a day will apeeaily come (pro vided we wake up) when there will be no cheap land in thia whole vallev. We have a country well worth devel oping, well justifying exploitation. And the reward will be in the exact ratio with our efforts and the inevit able prosperity will come Just as soon as we make It come.
