German Race of Ama.o...

Once again Kaiser Wilhelm does the diplomatic thing. Recently the kaiser gladdened the hearts of 500 Lithuanian girls by accepting petition which they sent to him when they heard that ar engagements were making for the fall imperial hunt in the northern provinces of Prussia. The Lithuanian girls are famous horsewomen, and on this ground they petitioned the kaiser that he accept the services of 500 of their number as his guard of honor while he remained in their province. In offering themselves for this duty they stipulated that their sovereign should rely upon them and permit of DO other bodyguard. The province of Lithuania is the most northern of the empire. The women would make perfect type of amazon and are mostly descendants of the race that became famous under the Jagel- lons.-Chicago Chronicle.

In hIs Report 10 the Secretary of the Interior, Governor N. O. Murphy emphasizes strongly the facts that the territory of Arrzona has a large number Of tracts of fer tile land in vicinitIes where Nature has provided excellent sites for storage reservoirs; and wherever irrigation is employed iLtelIigentIy as it is in many localities already, N never fails to produce profitable returns. He cites many instances where Federal storage reservoirs could be established with entire- absolute certainty of the National government being well repaid in the salc of public lands, which would be sure to follow. Loca- tions on the Gila, where much has already been done for irrigation, at the Buttes, at Riverside, San Carlos all within government control are referred to as some oftho larger projects that are high ly necessary to the development of the country and of sustaining q rapidly increasing population.
 Other sites mantioned are locat- ed in Apache, Navajo, Pinal, Pima Santa Crus and other counties of the territory, comprising an i'm mense acreage needing only water and human labor to make it as productive as any in the world.

MODEL TOWN NO MORE.
Pallman, Ill., Is Made Commonplace by Decree of the Supreme
 Court.

Pullman, H., used to be model town to look at. It is no longer good to look at; people who live there say that II a better town to live in. hut there's less fame in that.
 No more will travelling Engilshmen exclaim at its wonders, or Frencn monographists write learnedly of 1t without seeing 1t.
 The change of Pullman into an ordi- nary humdrum suburb is due partly to the extension of Chicago's city limits, but mainly to a decision of the Illinois supreme court that the Pullman com pany was formed for building cars and not for landscape gardening, municipal government and the sale of cabbages and baking powder atretail.
 The company has five years in which to sell such of it's effects as do not con- cern the making of ears. Two of the three parks are destroyed and the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad run across the famous athletic field, once one of the finest in the country.
 The stone wall and gate that once fenced in the town are removed. All it's streets are part of the Chicago system now. The Pullman Gas company has been sold to fhe Chicago gas trust, the city has taken over the water pipes and the steam-heating may go out of busi- ness.
 The residents are getting gas, water and groceries eheaper--for Chicago marketmen can now sell at their doors but they are little nervous about the prospects about getting along without steam heat.
 A new company will probably be formed to take the residences and un- used land under charter that will per- init these functions. But the old Pull man company, is going to build cars and nothing else. The model villagc is a model no more.
 AS a superintendent says:
 "The company has no more consider ation for it's employees than the en- ployes have for the company. It was their complaint that brought about the outrageous attack upon NIT. Pullman and ended in the decree of the supreme court.
 "They got what they demanded from the state, and why should they expect the company to continue the violation of its charter by maintaining parks for them? The company needs the land and will put it to use."
 So Pullman as model town dies with its founder.-N. r. World.

SPRUCE TIMBER SCARCE.
FaDsF-Makers May He Driven to the Cae Of Some Other Wood or
 Material.

The forthcoming report of s. ". Matthews, commissioner of labor for the state of Maine, will contain a chap ter devoted to the pulp and paper man. ufacturing Of the state. A table will be published showing the acreage of spruce timber lands in Maine, the amount of that wood used each year for manufacturing paper and give other data concerning the industry. The commissioner will also urge the adop- tion of some other material, if possible, from which news paper can be made, says the New York Times.
 Maine people are much agitated over the fast depletion of the state forests by paper makers, and it is possible that a bill will be introduced in the next legislature prohibiting the cutting of spruce for term of years. It is hoped that by this method the forests will have chance to gain lost ground in season to prevent the complete ex- termination of that valuable tree. The paper-makers are, therefore, doing much thinking as to what course to pursue, and it is likely that before long they will substitute poplar or birch for spruce timber.
 An experiment now being made in Missouri with cornstalks for making paper is being watched with interest here. It is said that thus far fair suc- cess has been made with that material and gocd quality of paper has been made. Much of the timber cut in Maine goes to New Hampshire, where one mill alone turns out 24o tons of paper each day frcm spruce timber. ..s

 Another week has rolled around and the country IS lightly covered with snow; cattle are enabled 10 reach out Tor better grass. as also what sheep are being wintered on the northern ranges. The light snowstorm of Wednesday last has done much to inspire the despond- ing farmer. who was already predicting shortage of water and consequently of crops. It is confidently expected that more storms will follow, and that the water supply will be all right. We had an excellent time 1t our Sun. day School Conference and many famiI- far faces from Apache Go. were seen on our streets. There were as many visit ors in Snowflake as at any other time in it's history. The Sabbath Schools are becoming great factor in educat. ing and training the young people in ~ay they should go. The Snowfiake school alone, reports 300 members.
