QUITE a general impression prevails
in political circles that Hon. VIM. G..
Wheeler, of GAINESVILLE, will secure the
endorsement of Senator Spooner for the
appointment of q. S. District Attorney
to succeed to the vacancy caused by the
death of D. F. Jones. Such an honor
would be we'll bestowed and the selection
would receive the cordial approval of>the
republicans in the state. The Gazette
truly says of Mr.. Wheeler:
"He belongs to the class of men that
combine ability with popularity and his
name is familiar throughout the state.
The people of GAINESVILLE as we'll as of the
county have peculiar interest in him,
because he is product of the county
seat town. They have watched his de-
velopment from boyhood and rejolced
over the success that he has won. Mr..
Wheeler is a growing man. He has not
attained the full measure of his allure.
That he is competent to fill the Office
of United States district attorney and
fill it we'll, is conceded by all who know
him. His many friends will be glad to
have the honor of the appointment come
to him, and the Gazette voices the SEN
timent Of the county as we'll as a liberal
sentiment throughout the state in saying
to Senator Spooner. Kindly consider
Mr.. Wheeler's name"

TEE forests of the Philippines are
thought to contain about 500 species
more than 400 being now known. There
are 81 species of palms, % of the oak
family including two oaks, and 9 conf
fers with only one true pine the last
named growing in dense forest above a
height of 1000 feet in the island of Luzon
At least so species are valuable. One of
the most important is the yang ylang
tree, yielding much priced oil; but
others furnish cocoanuts, gutta percha,
varnish, many dye woods and some fine
cabinet woods. A system of forestry
has existed IS years. Between 100000
and 100000 acres of government lands
have been cared for by about IS fores-
tiers and 100 subordinates, and the regu-
lations have been on the most scientific
European model.

THIS new agricultural machine takes
the field for efficient naming. There is
nothing like it going. So sure is it in it's
work of amputation that it may we'll be
doubted whether it was not primarily
intended for that purpose. Since the
opening of the corn shredding season,
accidents have numbered at least one
day. and not one ia hundred of the
farmers use the arm taking implement
1t will not he long before the empty
sleeve will be the mark, not of the veter-
an, but of the young and vigorous farm
er. This machine is peculiarly savage;
it never stops with finger; it is scarce
satisfied with an arm; it has even taken
in the head. In these days of machinery
it might be supposed that it's users were
SO accustomed to the tricks of belts,
wheels and teeth, that they would keep
out of the combination. But the corn
shredder seems to have tricks of it's own.
Inventors have something to study out
that this machine may be made safe.
Evidently, the machine does not know
any better and it must be left to those
who use it and the inventors to so regu-
late matters as to prevent these serious
accidents. The machine should be made
to go out of the naming business and
contine itself to corn husking.-M ilwau-

sovereign.

SOME people are of the opinion that
the century about to close has been so
fruitful in inventions and discoveries
that there is little left to the next CEN
fury to bring forward in the way of
great and surprising discoveries. There
is not the least foundation for such a
belief. All that has been done between
1900 ana 1900 is just so much prepare
ton and accumulation OF material for
the great work to be done between
1900 and 2O0D. THE thoughts of men
are widened with the process of the
suns" we are told, aud nobody denies it..
Not only all we know will be improved
and bettered, but thousand things be-
sides, of which we never thought.

In the morning the prudent traveller
whose quarters are on the right hand
side of the train has a fine string of
snowy mountains in sight from the
first breaking of day. This is the
Culebras Range, not lofty mountains as
compared with parts of the system
further north, but very good to look at.
There is no monotony in mountain
chain, as there is in prairie country,
though in the one case you have the
same things before your eyes for hours
at time while in the other objects are
continually changing. Here we have

near hills hide them from view.
Here is Trinidad, named by the pious
Spaniards for the Holy Trinity; here
we see what great coal mines have
grown out of the prospecting of those
large ants, which the soldiers of Kear-
ney's army saw in 1916, bringing parti-
cles of anthracite coal to the surface and
making their ant. hills of them. And
here we enter the region of adobe houses
which prevail from this latitude south
ward and which always make first
impression of being very miserable little
mud heaps. Here they are yellow,
further along they are bright brick red, {,
partaking as matter of course of the
color of the soil. The eye is continually
misled in the calculating of distances ;
as it rests on the passing hillside at a
fancied range of 100 yards, it is bewild-
cred at finding that objects are really a
quarter of mile away. A group of

1t is dark, being December, when we
reach Hutchinson, where we are fed and
where the roaring of great steam
whistles proclaims manufacturing
town. Here, in fact, commercial use is
made on large scale of the salt waters
which, being so widely scattered in this
region, cut so large figure in the ex
perience of the first explorers. Some
were glad to make their soup thereof,
finding it, when done, already seasoned
to their taste; others, arriving choked
with thirst at long-pursued stream,
would be struck with despair at finding
it bitter salt.
Here we cross the Arkansas, and the
fancy is led away up it's winding bed to
the solemn mass of Pixies Peak, under
whose mighty shadow it's first sources

early settler with taste for isolation
here is Fishers Peak, scene of an episode
of the Mexican war, when an officer
started to climb it before breakfast and
returned to camp on the second evening;
thus first giving rise, perhaps, to the
story now found attached to most
mountain peak in the west. And here,
most interesting and authentic of all, is
old Uncle Dick Wooton's ranch and
toll house, built in his old age by one of
the picturesque early band of trappers
and Indian fighters, who occupied him
self with improving the wagon road
over this range. The place is plainly
visible on the right, shortly before the
summit is reached; the old man died
there only some five years ago, but it
is already tumbling into decay.
The Divide.
The train labors up the mountain side
views Of distant snowy peaks superim-
posed upon the nearer mountains. The
line between Colorado and the territory
of New Mexico-nearly the last of our
once numerous sisterhood of territories
is crossed at almost the same time as
the divide of the Ration Range, the high
est point on the A. T. & S. F. system,
1922 feet above sea level; we drag
through weary tunnel, and emerge
into foreign lands. A poster on the first
section house is headed "Aviso;" !" these
dark faced laborers in the track gangs
are Mexicans their mud villages and
swarming brown babies belong to
another civilization than that we saw
yesterday from these same windows.
} The harder the climb on the other
side the more easily do we slip down on
this. The train runs, as they say, like
scared wolf; the children lean out at
the windows to watch the two mighty
engines scuttling ahead as they appear
on one side or the other in rounding the
sudden curves And presently we find
ourselves down on the plain at the town
{, of Ration, which you must pronounce
, Rattoon, and where, it is gratifying to
observe, the drama of "Quo Vadis' is
soon to be presented at the opera house.

Thence we pass forth over the wide
plains that are known by the Spanish
