est d'Argoune, France, October
2 to S. li»lS. Captain McMurtry
commanded a batulion which
was cut oft' aud surrounded by
the enemy and. although wound
ed in the knee by shrapnel on
October 4. ami suffering grout
pain, continued throughout the
entire period to encourage his
officers and tuen with a resist
less optimism that contributed
largely toward preventing panic
und disorder among the troops
who were without food, cut off
from communication with our
lines. October •!. during a
heavy barrage, he personally
directed and supervised the mov
ing of the wounded to shelter
before he himself sought shel
ter. October 6 he was wouuded
in the shoulder by a German
grenade, but coutinued person
ally to organize and direct the
defense against the German at

attack was defeated. He con
tinued to direct and command
his troops, refusing relief, and
personally led his men out of
the position after assistance ar
rived. before permitting himself
to be taken to the hospital Oc
tober S. During this period the
successful defense of the posi
tion was due largely to his ef
forts. His wife Is at East

Roosevelt Peak hi Colorado to Be "T. R." Memorial
MONTROSE, COLO.—A movement has been, started here to have the govern
ment rename SnefTcN Peak, and in so doing honor the memory of Theo
dore Roosevelt liy calling it "Roosevelt Peak." The peak Is the most prominent
lHjint on tiie magnificent skyline south
* Montnwe. '^//^
Sneffeis Peak was i^meu alter one
0f the little-known lieutenants in one
of the early exploration parties that
penetrated anil mapped this section of
Colorado. It is one of the rajr^edest
peaks iu the state, anion.!? the most
formidable as an obstacle to the
mountain climber, and few care to
clamber up its dangerous and precipi
tous sides, which are covered with
jagged points of rayolite atul other
metamorphie rock. n is n.u.j leet nigu. us summit o^u..
family dinner table, ntul from its tup one gets a must marvelous view, seeing
info I'tali. Arizona anil New Mexico.
Tiie jiluii is to name it Roosevelt Peak, auJ have its new name recorded
in W sii : by Hit g.vlo-ieal survey, through the mining district around it
wuuUl still remain Sneifeis district, and the post office of Sneffels would re
main um-haiiiied in name.
If tiie United States government will agree to changing the name of this
great peak, citizen* of Montrose and Ouray will piece a suitable bronze
tablet on the summit.
It is o.uite according to the eternal fitness of things that the name of
Roosevelt should he giwn to nn Impressive mountain peak or a magnificent
scenic park in tiie wilds. The memory of Roosevelt, naturalist, hunter, out
door iiii.n and lover of the West, deserves well of its people. It is a fitting
expression <•£ htro-woislun.
Roosevelt National p:lrb is likely soon to be established by congress. The
plau is to add i-everal hundred square miles of magnificently scenic territory
to Sequoia National pr.rlc i:: California, originally created to preserve the big
trees, tht o!de> and ! r.- - t living things of earth. The bill to make the addi
tion and change the name Itns been passed by the senate. President Wilson
has express, d his iipi roval by cable from Paris.
When Did Civil War End?
Ask anybody tin- date of the Civil
war's end. The answer will invariably
be: "April. 1S65." But. in a literal
setup, that answer is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war eatiip to an end "at the pe
riod decimated in the pruelamatiod of
the pr«-- il>'nt of the 1'uitod States."
That pro.-laniMt; 'ti «as dated April
2. Thus tii" CiviJ v-ar came to
a formal conelusli i. on that date, not
In April of lS'ki.
"Up to and r. that datu" (April
2, ISCi'.), says St *tary ( ' State llay
ard's d< eiflon, ".i.e in.-.;i reetion In
those ( he confed te) si ttes was held
to exist. After that date it was held
to be at an end."

WHY AVERAGE MAN WORKS
Labor May Be Its Own Reward, but
the Home Is Thing That
Inspires Him.
The 8:10 Sausalito boat was disgorg
ing its crowd of Marin county com
muters in the morning. Said one
commuter to another, according to the
San Francisco Bulletin: "I've timed
this crowd getting off the boats. It
takes more than twice as long to get
them off at the ferry, when they are
on their way to work, as it does to
land them at Sausalito at night, when
then are on their way home."
In spite of sundry wholesome pre
cepts about labor being its own re
ward, the fact Is that we do not live
to work, but that we work to live. The
little brown house back in the man
zanita trees, with the porch lights
burning, the rush of little feet, the
welcoming arms, the good dinner, the
books and the pipe—this is life. These
are the things eternal to which the
eager .shuffling feet are hastening.
They make and motivate the things
temporal toward which move the lag
gard footsteps of the morning.
Joy in your work? Of course, but
the fact remains that you wouldn't
build those skyscrapers and string
those railroads around the world and
send big ships Into far seas If it wasn't
for the "wife and kids." _
Fine Showing of
Yukon Grains'
A fine assortment of native food:
stuffs is being assembled for the;
grand all Yukon dinner, which, ia
to be given by the Yukon. dJ>evelop-!

purpose of exploiting) Yukon pro

I A sack of 120 pouiwla of native

I ed' on the big farm of Olsen and
Chapman, at the mouth ol the Pel
j ley river, which w^p donated toy
, them0 for the dinner, ha# been
'ground into whole wlieat flour by
Igus Johnson. A special) device I
was rigged by Mr. Johnson at his |
steam laundry, where he attached I
a small mill. A fine toothsome, j
wholesome meal, as sweet as a new
nut, wag secured, and a small sam
Rie of the flour wajs baked Into
muffins, which proved fit for the
gods.
The floux will be used in mak
ing buna for tho dinner, and, every
one attending -will bava ample proof

Three fin pamplef) of grain raised
and threshed on the Ch&pman and
Olsen farm were received a few day
ago for the Yukon I Development
League, and are on exhibition at
the News office. One ia a sam
ple of oats, and the other two lots
are of wheat. All are fine, roumd
plump andi hard, and would be a
credit to any country. To those
In the grain belt# of tho outside
world, who imagine Yukon Is a
land of perpetual frost and. produces
only icicles and) polar bears these
samples are a glorious refutation.
The sample^ were brought to the

Rare Book's Price.
Collectors of rare books and manu
scripts were very much interested 1*
the announcement that a first edition
of Shakespeare's works, published la
1623, was sold at auction in London a
few weeks ago for 1,150 pounds ster
ling. The volume Is said to be In ex
cellent condition, though the binding is
considerably worn.
This costly book has Increased la
price by bounds. At the beginning of
the eighteenth century the volume was
bought for five pounds from a book
dealer. In 1800 it was valued at fifty
pounds, and in the year 1890 240
pounds was paid for It. This was a
record price until 1899, when its valu«
again Increased. The Indications are
that with the years the price of 1,15(
pounds will again be advanced, as tb«
value of the volume will be more and
more enhanced as time passes.
Good Slogan.
