Survey Studying Conditions
On Rocky Mountain Border.
Washington, Dec 2S.-How to make
use of the high lying plains which bor-
der the Rocky Mountains on the east,
and extend from Texas north thru
western Kansas, Nebraska and Mon
tana, is problem many have tried to
solve. No other unoccupied tract is so
attractive to the settler: the land is fiat
and easily worked, and the soil OF great
fertility. But hardly any tract has
proved so delusive and disastrous to
those who have settled upon 1t. A few
years OF humidity followed by many
more OF drought made successful farm
ing Impossible. and drove off all but the
most stubborn settlers. Experience has
shown that without some means of sup
plementing the water supply the high
plains cannot be utilized for farming,
but must remain grazing country.
Within the last few years the United
State Geological Survey realizing the
immense potential value lying unused

900, or / per cent less than the record
of last year This calculation treated
Porto Rico and Hawaii as American
territory. AS to imports the review de-
clares:
Imports have gained slightly. They
will aggregate at least 100000, a
gain of $50 per cent over 1900, leaving
the balance OF domestic exports over
imports not far from $3.50 100000, or the
third largest excess in the country's
history
The review stated that the activity In
transportation was unprecedented. The
outlook was treated, In conclusion, as
follows:
MANY elements of strength and some
Of the opposite character present them
selves to view. The questions of ex-
port trade, checked by relatively higher
prices here end lack of new demand
abroad, particularly in Germany, which
country is reported selling iron and
steel products below cost, are obstacles
to increased shipments by this country.
On the other hand, English trade adj
vices are rather better. and the predict
ed early suspension OF hostilties IN
South Africa and the resumption OF
large gold shipments from that section
are favorable features presenting them
selves. Europe apparently must buy
our wheat and cotton freely. but as long
as domestic activity in trade, particu'
larly iron and steel, continues, the need
of a foreign outlet is not regarded as
pressing. If only a portion of the high
hopes INDUCED in as a result OF the re-
cent conferences of capital and labor
materialize. industrial peace and thru
this sustained commercial good feeling
and prosperity will have been power
fully furthered"

HUSBAND WHIPS DENTIST.
Farmers Wife Accuses Latter of Try

known dentist of this place, saved him
from severe chastisement at the hands
OF the Hey Rubes." DR.. Crayton's al

Mrs. Marion L. Pearce.
Mrs. Pearce had been having DR..
Crayton do dental work for her. About

but Mr. Crayton and herself. While in

to kiss her.

whipped him there until he ran back
into the office. When the dentist could

Mrs, Pearce's home and beg Mrs.
Pearce's pardon. DR.. Crayton took the
next train out OF town and has not been
heard OF since.

TO ARBlTRATE CLAIM.
State Department Provides for Settle
ment of "Pious Fund"

State Department Provides for Settle
ment of "Pious Fund"
Washington, d. c., Dec. 2S.-The state
department has Just added another to
the long list of arbitrations which it has
arranged within the last few years for
the settlement of American claims. This
arbitration will provide for the settle
ment Of the "pious fund" which has
been a subject of diplomatic exchange
between the United States and Mexico
since the Mexican war.
The claim arose thru the failure OF
the Mexican government to pay to the
archbishop of California interest on
lands belonging to the Jesults for which
the Mexican government acted as trus.
tee. The claim was submitted to the
Mexican claims commission In 1877 and
Judgment given in favor OF the church
for about 81 600, 600. The Mexican gov
eminent said that that payment extin-
guished the claim, but the state depart
ment held that the interest began again
from the date Of the award and has
run until a present it amounts to an
other million dollars. Personal repre-
sensations by the Archbishop of Cali
fornia, who recently was in Washington
and other dignitaries of the Catholic
church, caused the department to press
the matter, with the result stated. The
name OF the arbitrator and other details
remain to be announced.

Anim.ls In Operas.

Wagner has introduced animals into
all but three OF his operas cThe Fly
Ing Dutchman,'' Tristan" and "Die
Meistersinger'') -horses In "Rienzi,"
.aTannhauser," die Walkure" and
'Die Gotterdammerung." swans In
"I,ohengrin'' and "Parsifal," birds in
"Lohengrin." "siegfried" and ode
Gotterdammerung," a ram In ode
Walkure" and a bear and dragon in
"Siegfrfed." The swans, the dragon
and the forest bird are expressed by
some Of the most beautiful music in
the operas.
Wagner has been much criticised
and was at the time much laughed at
for this use of animals in serious opera,
but not even his friends and brother
musicians could argue him out Of it.
Other composers, 1t is true, had oc-
casionally introduced animals into the
opera, notably Mozart in the Magic
Flute" But IN Mozart's opera the anil
mails have no essential connection with
the story. Their Introduction is al
most as accidental and irrelevant as
the happenings in vaudeville.
Wagner was the first to make the
animals part Of the cast, dramatically
connected with the whole. Our AMI

while water for irrigation sufficient for
the cultivation of grain on the grand

Impairment Of hearing robs one of
many of the joys of life, exposes to dam
ger. interferes with capacity for useful
ness, limits ability to transact business
and earn living. Many annually ADAM
don their plans, ambitions and hopes on
account of loss of hearing.
In nearly every case of partial or COM
plete deafness there Is another feature
that to many is more troublesome than
the difficulty Of hearing-the distracting
head noises. These make such an inn
preston on some as to almost drive
them insane. The everlasting buzzing,
ringing, swapping. rumble or roar dis
tracts them by day and prevents rest at
right.
Nine cases out Of ten OF head noises
and progressive hardness of hearing are
due to catarrh Of the middle ear or Of
the tube leading from it to the throat.
1t should be understood and constants
ly borne in mind that to restore the
