Not until he became a plain citizen on
Sept. Is would he talk of politics, and
then he found the tide Of events bear
ing him along inevitably and irresisti-
bly,.
The eighth stage Of Roosevelt's ca
reer began with his assumption Of the
office of governor Of New York state
and the ninth with his Inauguration as
vice president of the United States
March 4, 1901.
A tenth phase is just opening for him
as the chief executive of the greatest
nation in the world.
President Roosevelt's ancestry and
his rearing and education, coupled with
an excessively aggressive nature, mani
tested Enthusiastically even in his very
early boyhood, seemed to presage for
him more than ordinary career.

amiab1e with the tenderfoot from the
east.
Mr.. Roosevelt not only wore a CO.'S
tune which he considered appropriate
for killing grizzlies, but he actually
killed more bears than the best Of the
''bad men," and his unquestioned BRAY
cry and fearlessness won him, as it al
ways does with the Bret Harte type of
man, unbounded respect and love.
What the men Of the west thought
of the tenderfoot was shown when
Theodore Roosevelt called for volun-
teers for the rough riders, among
whom were some Of those who tried to
''take the frills off the New York dude"
when he first appeared among them
and who today lovingly and Loyalty re-
fer to him as a leader whom they
would follow to the death.

gone, and their records are more or less
prosa;c, but the History Of Theodore
Roosevelt stands out again picturesque,
dramatic and alive with the intensity
of the mans nature, an intensity which
differentiates him at every step Of his
career from his predecessors or success
sors AS police commissioner Mr.. Ro0se-
welt made lew York seethe with eX-
citement. Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts, seeing for him
self and testing the prCbity and capa-
bility of his corps. BY day he fought
the other police commissioners, he up
set old time rules and enforced old time
'blue laws" because, as he explained,
they were in the statute books and
must be obeyed until they were re-
pealed.
The sixth phase Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
career was brief, but most satisfactory,
and was embraced in the short time Of
his service as assistant secretary of the
navy. Colonel Roosevelt was nominal
ed by President Mckinley on April g.,
1897. On April II he rendered his resig-
nation as police commissioner to Mayor
Strong of New York city.
From the very first Roosevelt fore
saw the possibility of a conflict with
Spain, and be set about preparing his
department for it. He pushed repairs
on the ships, he worked with might
and main for the navy personnel bill
and visited the various naval reserves
throughout the country. He left moth
ing undone in fact, that would secure
the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came. 1t is
an open secret that he it was who first
realized the tremendous opportunity
that the war would open in the east
and who had Dewey, in whom he rec
ognized the right man for the pl1ce,
appointed to command the eastern
squadron. And naval officers agree
that the rema rkaDle skill in marks
manship displayed by the American
gunners was due to his foresight. He
saw the necessity Of practice, and he
I thought it the best kind of economy to
burn up ammunition in acquiring skill.
A characteristic story, Of the truth
of which there is no doubt, is told re-
garding Roosevelt's insistence on prac-
tice in the navy. Shortly after his ap-
pointment he asked for an appropria-
ton of $8OO,OOO for ammunition, pow
der and shot for the navy. The APP
preparation was made, and a few
months later he asked for another ap-
preparation, this time Of $5O0,000.
When asked by the proper authorities

MRS. ROOSEVELT AND THE
CHILDREN.

Mrs Roosevelt was a playmate Of
Mr.. ,Roosevelt's sisters and Of Mr.
Roosevelt himself when they were chill
dren. They went to the same dancing
class, were identified with the same set
in society, and there were great
many people who predicted that as
these children grew up they would
marry. However, as is well known,
Mr.. Roosevelt's first wife was Miss
Lee of Boston, and at the time of that
marriage Miss Carow was abroad
where she remained for some time
Mr. Roosevelt met her in Europe after
his wife's death, and their engage
ment was not announced for some
months When it was announced, the
congratulations were most sincere from

his energies were bent with redoubled
force to getting the navy ready. When
war did finally break out, Mr.. Roose-
Velt was for rushing matters, for TAX

terms from there.

FARMING IN THE FAR WEST.
Report on Agricultural Conditions on
the Pacific COaAt.


the Pacific Coast.
The Department ofrAgriculture has is-
sued report on the general agricultural
conditions in the Pacific coast region. 1t
says that although the tendency for the
past twenty-five years has been toward a
gradual reduction in the area Of Individual
farms and ranches they are still of size
much larger than the average farm of the
east or even Of the middle west. This Is
particularly true In /. California Another
distinctive feature, especially in the great
valley areas of California, Is the use Of
machinery Of great capacity, which means
an economy of human labor, but often also
means waste Of grain. Every effort is
made to combine several operations into
one. Transportation Of the enormous guam
tl,y of Pacific coast wheat has been re-
duced to a science. A large saving Is made
by loading ships directly from the cars,
trains being being run from the wheat
helds to Idewater at very few hours no.
tice. In Washington and Oregon, however
the wheat is run through an elevator
where 1t Is recleaned and mixed with 9th
er grades of wheat to bring 1t to the re-
quired standard grade after which II Is
resacked and loaded on the vessels or cars
for final shipment. About 27,45O, 600 bush
els OF wheat are exported annually from
the Pacific coast, with total value Of
about $40. 100000. OF the 100000 barrels
o. -four annually shipped from the Pacific
coast ports during the past ten Years,
nearly one-half is cl slred at San Francisco
The report says 1t has taken about 36.-
100000 bushels of wheat to supply the for
slgn markets with Pacific coast wheat and
nour. or this amount California ports fur
nished more than 10000, 600 bushels.
Another bulletin on irrigation In Califor
MIA. based on investigations of experts and
speclai agents. urges that the state should

whether already acquired or to be acuuired
hereafter. and provide an efficient svstero

tions to this end are the creation or q
