SOME SWEET TODAY.

What was tho sweetest thing
In all my day.
will not seer to speed
Tho lingering ray
Until my anxious eye somewhere has caught
A word, n smile or something that hath passed
In my small sphere. Oh, memory. thou hast
Some sweet todayi
Now fancy travels ont and centuries nm
A long and brilliant train.
1t all floats by.
Joy and sadness go
With laugh and sigh,
And Drugs of pain lilo deep in pleasures cup.
But now see two tender hazel eyes
Iurn on me, lips that smile. All. herein lies
My sweet todayl
perfume brcathes from pictures Of the mind,
And In our fancy memory carves her lore.
Our dearcst treasures in the air we find.

Commissioners Marsden Returns
from an Inspection Tour.
GREAT DESTRUCTION BY CATTLE.
Thousands of Acres I'm IIamakua ana
Kohala Observation-Disclosures Give
Hearty Co-operation-SiXtyN Miles of
Fencing Rcquired-Plan of the Work.

Commissioner Marsden, who was
sent to Hamakua and kohala by
President Dole to investigate and
report some measure for the pre-
servation of forests in those dis
tricts, returned by the Iwalani yes
terday morning with a cheerful
countenance as usual, but rend-
cred doubly so by the success of
his mission.
In speaking of his trip and Incl
dents relating thereto, Mr.. Mars
den said: "In response to urgent
appeals from many sources for the
preservation of forests on the ISL
ands, was commissioned by Pre-
sident Dole to visit the districts
named and give desired informa-
ton. Upon arrival [ found the
state of affairs certainly worthy of
the appeals for aid that had been
made. Indeed, the land is an
appeal in itself. OF course the
public will understand that the
raising of cattle without fencing off
the forest portions of the land
upon which they Craze, is impos-
sible. In riding along by certain
gulches | could see where the trees
have been destroyed. Tens OF
thousands of acres have been de-
vastated by the cattle and still the
work of destruction goes on.
Something must be done, and that
quickly too. l was very much
gratified to find hearty co-opera-
ton manifested by the heads of
the respective plantations and
ranches interested.
It was the general verdict that
the object of preserving the
forests from further devastation
was one of prime importance.
There are ten plantations and three
ranches interested in the move
ment. The former furnish about
one-third of the island sugar. The
men [ spoke with said that if the
Government would condemn GER
tain lands, they would cheerfully
pay the expenres of fencing and
would even 90 further than that
they would see to replanting al
ready denuded portions of the
land. If the Government, the
planters and the ranchers work to-
gether, as is now assured, the move
ment proposed will be most sue
cessful. 1t will take some 60
miles OF fencing to properly close
in the forest lands of the districts
named. [ shall send maps by the
next Kinau, upon which will be
represented the plan of work pro-
posed. [ hope to see the fence up
in a very short time and will look
forward with pleasure to the time
when l shall see the green shoots
of the trees appearing, free from
molestation by the cattle"
In his work for the proposed
movement, Mr.. Marsden has pro-
ven an efficient and enthusiastic
servant, as in matters undertaken
by him in the past. He has push
ed the work to a climax where
nothing but success remains and
all this in such a very short space
of time.

FIXING COR THE SURPLUS.
Railroads will he Taxed to Their Capacity
to Move the Kansas Crop.

Topeka, Aug. 5.-Receiver ]. c. Will
son, of the Santa Fe Railroad company
said yesterday that he believed this
year was destined TO be one of almost
unparalleled prosperity in the state of
Kansas. None is more intensely inter-
ested in the crop outlook than the rail-
road companies. whose business it is to
move the surplus of each recurring year
and Mr.. Wilson says that the infOrma-
ton gathered by his company points
to by far the largest corn crop the
state of Kansas has ever known. The
Santa Fe is straining every nerve to
be ready to handle the portion which
falls to its lot. and in the Topeka shops
force of 1.S00 men is being worked
full hours to put the company's roll
ing stock in order. There are several
hundred freight cars on the Santa Fe
system which hard times have forced
into neglect and bad repair. All of
these are being sent to the shops at
Topeka, while orders for many new
cars have been placed with the master
mechanic. Engines are also TO be over
hauled and placed in readiness for the
harvest. Mr.. Wilson predicts that
every railroad in Kansas will be taxed
TO its utmost to handle the tremendous
surplus which Kansas will export, and
draws a rosy picture of the prosperity
which is rapidly overtaking every
branch of business as the crop becomes
more certainly assured. 81 know fields
of corn in Kansas said he, (which

WANT 1T TO BE UNANIMOUS.
RefOrmatOry Board has Not Yet Selected a
Superintendent

Topeka. Kan. Aug. 5.-After labor
ing with the matter of selecting super
intendent for the Hutchinson reforma-
tory for three days, the board of map-
ayers adjourned to meet at Topeka on
Monday morning. No ballot was taken
upon the several candidates. The en-
they could not agree upon a man with
out dissenting voice, and this effort
will be renewed in Topeka on Monday.
1t is understood that Mr. O'Neal and
Judge Peters could readily agree upon a
man, but that Judge Nicholson stood
out for one of two men, neither one of
whom met with the support of the 9TH
er members of the board. Judge Nichol-
son, backed by the united population of
Hutchinson, wanted to re-elect Captain
Hatch to the place, and for second
choice he presented the name of eX-
Governor Lewelling.
It is understood about the state house
that Governor Morrill, indorses the can
for the place. and it is altogether proba-
BILE that when the board meets at To-
peka he will be selected, even at the
sacrifice of unanimous vote from the
board. There was some talk of going
abroad for superintendent. but it was
SeH-evident that no man experienced
and capable in the government Of such
a reformatory as has been established
at Hutchinson could be induced TO come
TO Kansas for the ridiculous low salary
OF Sl,500 year, and search was not
made for such a one

ANSWER READY TO FILE.
Wichitas DENY the Claim OF the ChOctaws
and Chickasaws.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The attorneys
for the Wichitas. in the case involving
SS0o,000 being the purchase money OF
the Wichita reservation. will tomorrow
file answer in the court of claims to the
petition Of the attorneys for the Chick
asaws and Choctaws. who claim that
the money belongs to them, and that
the Wichitas have only an occupancy
right in the reservation. The answer
states that the reservation. as far back
as 1850. belonged TO the Wichitas. and
that they We're driven out Of that part
of the country and il was taken posses
sion of by the Quapaws. who 1918 ceded
TO the government what rights they
may have acquired in the land. In
1872 patent for the land was issued
10 the Choctaws. but under a new law
passed in 1880 the claim is made that
this patent is Illegal. In addition 10
this. il is claimed that in 1866 the gov
eminent gave 20 the Choctaws and the
ChickaSaws, who had secured. as they
claimed. an equity in the land. $500. 900
for whatever rights they may have had
in the land by reason of the Illegal pat
emit II is claimed that the sale OF the
land at that time settles all equities
they may have had in the land. wheth-
er they were Of legal Or Illegal origin.
The conclusion i reached that the
Choctaws and Chickasaws have no
equity in the money paid by the govern
ment to the Wichitas for the reServa-
ton The opinion is that the case will
fall out OF court before a decree is
reached: that the attorneys for the
Choctaws and Chickasaws viii take ad-
vantage OF a provision in the law
which allows them 10 take the case
out OF court az any time and carry
il 10 the secretary OF the interior or
back to congress In the ordinary
run Of things il is believed that the
