These facts" says the periodical, "show
that American competition, even If today il
does not figure formidably in the trade of
Russia, will surely be felt in this rich coun-

Americans must be offset by new Ger

Maj. l.. A. Craig, acting superintendent
of the Yosemite National Park, in his
monthly report to the Secretary Of the In

During the month detachments were

valley, Bloody canyon and Lambert Soda
Springs In addition a detachment is per-

non-commissioned officers in charge of
these detachments indicate that there has
been some trespassing with live stock dur
ing the past month.
1.-TWO sheep herders were apprehended in
the vicinity Of Alkali canyon on September
H. One, Harry Martin, made his escape
on September IA. and the other Jose juices
was elected from the park by way of Wa
wona. Four sheep herders were appre-
hended in the vicinity of Grey Peak creek,
together with about 6,000 sheep. These
herders, whose names could not be learned
as they spoke a foreign language were
brought into this camp and kept under sur
veilance for two days and then elected
from the park. The sheep were driven be-
yond the park limits. The owner is sup
posed to be one Garcia Buro. living in
Reno, Nevada
There have been no forest fires during
the month. and the danger to the park
from forest fires Is practically over as
there have been two severe storms within
the past ten days, and. Judging by the past
seasons, the storms will be more FREQUENT
in the present month than during the past
summer months.
The reports of the forest rangers indi-
cate that the flow of water in the streams
of the park has been considerably Increased

vast extent OF fur-bearing country on the

report received at the State Department
from Consul McCook at Dawson City
Dawson City is the central market Cor this

annually to the great fur markets of Lon

annual revenue of about $350.OOO The fur
bearing region extends from the Mackenzie
basin to the coast range, and from the
Porcupine to the Hootarinqua- This is the
season says Mr.. McCook, when hunters
and trappers are moving their outfits to
the various rivers and streams for the win

Buildings Improved.

Gen. J. c. Breckenridge, inspector gen
eral. says in the course of special re-
port the home:
1.-The buildings generally were found in
excellent condition, though some trouble
about foundation and tendency to leakage
was indicated. and careful attention and
matter of sanitation, though the monthly
report by the surgeon all matters and
buildings does not prevail here, as is habit
ual at military posts During the year the
stewards quarters have been enlarged.
Concrete was being laid in the areas sur
rounding the Scott building. This is an es-
sential improvement and replaces the old
tagging, which is said to have allowed
injury to the foundations as the cracks
leaked very badly. Similar improvement is
contemplated in the basement of the King
building, around which concrete walks
have recently been laid. An addition has
been constructed to the cemetery gate
lodge, and some of these gate lodges, like
the east gate, should be supplied with mod
ern water closets and bathing facilities
The road from Whitney avenue gate to
the Scott monument has been macadam-
lied. and several new roads have been con-
structed in other parts of the grounds. A
new band stand has been erected at the
hospital, at a cost of $667 "a, and the band

But this is not all. 1t was the summer
home of the martyr President Lincoln dur
ing the stirring times of the civn war, and
for this alone should be carefully pre-
served and revered by all, though other
Presidents of the United States, like Buch-
anan, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, were
wont to spend a portion of their summers
there. To build an amusement hall is one
thing and to demolish a building with such
traditions as these is very different. Other
available sites seem to be quite as eligible.
and at some of the volunteer homes the
amusement hall is thought to be better as
a separate building. devoted only to this
purpose or united, as at the Marion branch,
in a new building for mess hall and kitch-
en-, which may appear to be needed.
1.-The building used for the office OF gov
ernor and treasurer seems crowded and en-
tirely too small for the purpose, and an adj
ministration building of adequate size APP
pears essential.

which is often noted between maximum
and minimum figures, says Mr.. McCook,
is due to variations in the shade and quail
ity Of the fur, and to the time of year
in which the animal was caught. For in
stance, the pelts of bears caught in the
spring, just after the alternating process
is over, are worth more than those Sc
cured in the fall, because their fur Is soft
and thick, instead of harsh and thin In
all pelts. winter fur commands often three
times as much as summer fur In price,
and in most cases dark colored fur is
worth much more than the lighter va
rieties.
AS to the variety of furs. Mr.. McCook
says that marten pelts are the most nu-
merous, and black fox the most scarce
The latter Is the most valuable of all the
furs in the upper Yukon. a good pelt readf-
ly bringing $500. A musl1rat pelt IL worth
4 cents.

Among the contemplated improvements
1t is rumored that the Anderson building
may be demolished to make room for an
addition to the Scott building, which is now
huge pile. This addition. it is said, is to
provide room for the different location of
the amusement hall. The rooms now used
for that purpose In the several buildings
are located in the easements, as of the
Sherman or Scott building, are considered
too small and lily ventilated, and the oniy
partially occupied old dining room is not
preferred for the purpose, and the new
marble building has uses OF its own.

THE EARLY HoMEsTEADERs.
They Were Our First ExDansionists
ana Many of Them We're
Foreigners.

The homesteaders who have settled
the great west were our first expan-
sionists. Many Of them are foreign
ers. Most of the immigrants who have
taken up farms on the prairies are OF
the superior races of northern Europe
sturdy, intelligent, industrious and
ambitious to get ahead in the world;
people who are calculated to make de-
sirable citizens, and to contribute
brain and siuew to the growing repub-
lie, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
There is something striking in the
situation of civilized family that vol
unfairly changes its normal circum-
stances for those which environ hui
man beings In their most primitive
and helpless state. From the view
point OF civilized man. with his elab-
crate social organization, nature is
an obedient servant; but to the lonely
pioneer, who invades her realm with
nothing to help him but a few tools
and stout heart, she is dangerous
enemy. On every side perils threat
ened the early homesteader-not the
least being the hostile savages, who
were likely at almost any moment to
swoop down upon his home.
The typical homestead Of the Da-
kotas is fat and level. Seen from
balloon, it would usually appear as a
field OF waving wheat. There is little
timber. In the fOothilIs of the Rock
les, on the other hand, the farms are
more picturesque, whether located on
river bottoms or on the uplands of the
hills, where streams cut their way
down through the mesa lands. Water
is plenty in those parts for irriga tion,
and. in winter. game of many kinds
come down from the mountains. The
river bottom farms are rich in grass
and are often timbered somewhat.

Cloak models find their services in
great demand at this season Of the
year. The daily papers contain adj

43-inch skirts" which sizes still re-
main the standards in shop suits, al
though the new shape produced by
the straight-front corset has made
the measurement of woman consid-
erably different.
A 38-lpch bust is now the average
and the average waist measure is 25
inches. Such waist measure would
have been considered very large two
/ seasons ago, but every woman under
stands that the new waist line is no
longer the shortest distance around
the body, as formerly. The new
waist line is stretched slanting wise
around the body two or three inches
below the actual waist.
A great many people get their ideas
Of cloak models from the finely
dressed young women who pose in
the fashionable shops in the winter
to show fur and party cloaks. But
these persons of distinguished APP
pearance and mien are not really
cloak models in the usual sense. A
cloak model Of the Wholesale house,
whose hardest season is now begin

is no sinecure. A young woman with
a good appearance can obtain such a

When the summer girl is fitting
around seashore piazzas and ball
rooms in 1eecy gauze gowns the
cloak model spends ten hours day
putting on and taking off heavy win
ter gowns, which is pretty hot work
for warm day in midsummer. The
wholesale houses begin to take their
orders for winter goods about this
time and buyers come from the west

that please them. Oddly enough, most
