Land Commissioner Hermann has embodied in his annual report a recommendation for some sort of national protection over the public forests not included in the reserves. This recommendation has grown out of the serious forest fires in Colorado and the consequent de- struction of vast bodies of timber at the headwaters of streams.

Williams School News.


 Judge Johnston received the con- tract for supplies for rooms during the year.
 New blackboards have been put up in room three, which is a great improvement - over the one in front especially.
 School is moving off nicely the second month, and pupils are showing more interest and doing better work than last month.
 Several of our school children have already moved away and several more expect to leave the city before the winter is over.
 Tuesday afternoon we were fav- ored by a call from two of the Los Angeles teachers, or rather former teachers, who were en route to the Grand Canyon.
 We are making our opening ex- ercises as interesting as possible; every Monday morning all the pupils meet in the principals room we are crowded, to be sure, but all seem to enjoy the exercises. Opening exercises from g to 9:15.
 Last week all the rooms were photographed separately and then two together. Satisfaction seemed to be general, except that the pho removed the hat from one of the boys, which detracted from the general beauty of the picture.
 Our list of visitors is not very large up to date; we would be pleased at any time to have the patrons or any one interested in the Williams school call in and | inspect our work; it not only en- courages the pupils but the teach CTS as we'll. You will always re- ceive a cordial welcome in any room. L. E. GIFFoRD.

A BALLOT LAW CONFERENCE
Senator Quay and Colonel Guffey to
Meet Today

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 5-Senator
Quay arrived here last night, and is the
guest Of Governor Stone, at the execu-
tive mansion. The Senator is in the best
of health and declared the stories of his
Illness to have been greatly exaggerated
He is here to meet Col. J. NJ Guffey. the
Democratic leader, on the matter of pre-
pairing a ballot reform bill that will be
acceptable to all parties
The conference will be held at the
Lochiel Hotel tomorrow afternoon, when
Mr.. Quay viii be accompanied by Mr.
Snyder, President pro tempore OF the
Senate, and Mr.. Durham, the Insurance
Commissioner. Guffey viii have with him
Senator Cochran and Representative
keller. The differences will hardly be ad-
justed, as the Quay people will insist on
the party circle for wholesale voting and
Guffey will not insist on the elimination
of the circle which has been his main
contention.

difference between the traditional Greek
god and the average American.
1t should be remembered. in the first
place, that beauty. and the type of
beauty which is prevalent in any com
munity. is largely a question of climate
as well as the habits of the people.
There are places on this earth in which
nothing as beautiful as the Melian
Venus or the Relvedere Apollo could be
developed in a thousand years. There
is no use in hoping that people will be
tail and stately, when the cold stunts
them from childhood; nor in thinking
that they will escape cretinism if they
live in the peculiar conditions of the
Alpine valleys; nor in expecting them
To have clear and beautiful compilations
and vigorous bodies if they dwell where
they have to have fever and ague to be
in the fashion The Greek type was
produced partly by the civilization
which favored its development. and
partly by climatic and social conditions
which did not require the endurance of
TIE severest cold or heat, or the most
exhausting and cramping toll. The
Greek of today is as rule not uncome-
ly. The American type owes some of its
distinguishing features to the climate
which-originally produced the American
Indian. and which is gradually toning
Celt, Saxon, Latin, Snd Slav down to
the same general lines of face and
figure.
But. climatic conditions aside. and it
should not be forgotten that the spirit
of evolution is not done with us yet,
and that the power which produced the
variation of species can create new
races of men if it is given time enough
there is something in the fact that
our popular amusements are different
from those of the Greeks. The average
American does not become an all
round athlete He is likely to devote
himself to some one sport and make a
speciality of it, and so he gets himself
abnormally developed on one side and
leaves the rest of his physique as he in
herited it. When croquet was the fash
ion-and let us hope that that fashion
will never come in again-it was found
by medical authorities that among lit
tie girls of from ten to fifteen years,
who were the class most devoted TO the
game. there was a distinct tendency in
many cases TO deformity; one shoulder
was lower than the other. Lawn tennis
had many redeeming qualities; it called
for alertness and vigorous exercise, but
all the development Of the arms was
one sid.d. Golf is open to the same OBJ |
lection, but it has the merit Of keeping |
people in the open and making them |

UNITING THE sHIPYARDs.
A Combination of Several of the
Leading Plants Perfected

BATH Me. May Sit is stated on the
best authority that a combination of the
following shipbuilding plants has been
perfected: The Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco. the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company. of Newport

this city.
1t is also affirmed on authority that can
scarcely be questioned that E. w Hyde.
]. s. Hyde, and j. f. Andrews will hold
practically the same positions that they
ill today. which is an additional guaran-
tee that there is not the slightest danger
of the closing of the iron or windlass
works.
Edward w. Hyde, President of the Bath
Iron Works, was in the city today, but
returned to New York later In an in
terview, he said:
There has been no change in the situa-
tion and the proposition of combining
four shipyards is still In contemplation
Nothing definite has, as yet, been ar
rived at, however. The proposed organi-
Zation is not at all in the nature of

We are unable to agree With the Eu-
ropean papers which recognize in Mr..
]. Pierpont Morgan a man who is not
only able but eager TO take over the
elder continent and make it a deer park
for American billionaires. But he is a
person of Importance. and. barring some
eccentricity of manner, of substantial
respectability. His opinions are valua-
bile. They ought to be, judging from
his monumental success as a master
of finance and industry. So when he
tells us that what this country needs is
more ships, we are quite ready to agree
with him, especially as Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie declares that what his distin-
guished associate says is correct.
We do need more ships, and there is
not the least reason in the world why
we should not build and have them.
Business exigencies have compelled Mr..
Morgan to buy a large foreign mer-
chant fleet. Sixty or seventy big steam
ers cannot be constructed in a day, but
future additions to that feet. it is as
well to remember, can be produced

A BLACK HILLS CELEBRATION.

of the Reservation to SETTLERS.

Gen. Anson Mills has been invited by

rnittee to be present at the celebration OF

ing of the Black Hills to settlement. The
Black Hills Reservation was obtained by
treaty from the Sioux, and to sign the
articles a commission was sent out from
Washington. of which the present Sena-
tor Allison of Iowa was a member.
The first attempt to come to an agree
ment with the Indians was nearly fatal
to the commission. There was great op-
position among the Sioux to disposing
Of the reservation and especially among
the younger braves, who did not want to
sell it. The older men. such as Spotted
Tail and Sitting Bull favored giving
it over To the Government. and while the
commission was talking over arrange
ments with the Older chiefs some miles
from a fort, the younger braves showed
tight, and Senator Allison and the others
only saved themselves by a quick retreat
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
signing of the treaty will be celebrated
in true Western style. with frontier sports
and games. There will be present num-
Der of noted Western scouts. Buffalo Bill
among others. as well as all the living
officers who fought in the Sioux war with
Generals Crook and Custer.

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.
Lower Prices Excite Little Interest
Among Buyers.

FALL RIVER, Mass. May 5.-Local
brokers report that the sales in the
print cloth market during the past week
amounted to about 2250 600 pieces, of which
10000 were regulars and the remainder
odds. Despite the big drop in the price
of all makes of print cloths. buyers are
exhibiting but little interest in the mar
ket.
The sales for the week are not large in
the aggregate, but compared with any
other weeks sales recently they reach an
exceptionally high total The bulk of
the week business was the sale of a
big lot of regulars at the reduced figure
on Tuesday evening At that time it ap-
peared as II the manufacturers might
have an opportunity to unload large lots
of goods at the new figure. but later it
developed that buyers could not be in
terested in this market, even at the
present rock bottom figures. Immediate
ly after the announcement of the cut
came the news that outside manufacture
ers were underselling, Fall River buyers
having offers of goods at 21a cents.
Cloth, however. cannot be manufactured
here on that basis except at a loss, as
the margin between cotton and cloth at
21& cents is against manufacturers.
While the selling committee is prepared
to fill any orders for prints at present
prices, many manufacturers prefer to
hold goods rather than transfer them on
that basis. They are not in sympathy
with the action of the committee and
openly criticise the last cut. But the
offer of the Eddystone Manufacturing
Company to purchase at the new figure
was too large an order TO refuse. and
