 ''Tom" Ochiltree shorts con- tempestuously when he hears extrav- agant yarns about the craftsmanship Of cowboys. By way of emphasizing his opinion on this subject he tells of a fellow down in Texas who held a silver half dollar between fingers for a cowboy to shoot at, "and he never did it again." says the colonel, always pausing at this point. 'Hand shot off, l suppose" some nearer usually ventures. "Sh' say not" calculates Tom. ''The cowboy hit him in the leg, and serves him right, too."

ALASKAN FORESTS.
Some Huge Trees Grow in Our Great
 Northern Territory.


 If l were to tell you that in far off Alas ka, whose resources arc just becoming known, there is an eXten- slyc forest in which are found num- bcrless trees from six to eight feet in diameter and 200 feet in height you would question my vcracity," said an official of the interior department the other day to a Washington Star re- porter. Nevertheless, that is the fact he added. "Prcsidcnt Roose- welt recently created forest reserve, embracing most of the islands of the Alexander archipelago, lying on the southeast coast of Alaska. These is- lands, mountainous in character, ex- tend along the coast for about 26O miles, and from the shore to their out CT limits Is about 50 miles. It is fact that practically every foot of soil is covered with dense vegetable life, trees of mammoth size growing abundantly from the coast clear up the mountain sides to an elevation of 2,OO0 or 2,500 feet. Practically all of the valuable timber of Alaska is con centrated in this group of islands, and has been but little cut.
 ''People generally have miscon- ception of climatic conditions in Alaska, especially in the southeastern panhandle. It Is a matter of record that on the Alexander archipelago there is an annual rainfall of 80 inch es, most of the moisture descending in the form of a gentle mist, keeping the soil constantly damp. The warm Japan current runs in close by, mod eratlng the temperature. Snow is practically unknown, yet a few miles III on the mainland the winters are severe. There the effects of the Japan current are but little felt. The forests of the archipelago were re- gently studied by an officer of the navy department sent for that pur- pose. He reported that only the spruce and hemlock reach the pro- portions l have given you, although yellow cedar, a most valuable wood, often reaches diameter of three or four feet. The smaller trees are the alder, cottonwood, poplar, maple, willow and red cedar. No doubt when the timber supply of the United States becomes depleted, as it cer- tainily will at the present rate of cut ting, the virgin forests of Alaska will make valuable contribution to the nations supply. The president was fortunate in reserving this rich spot before its presence became known to timber speculators and before the hand of man worked devastation throughout its length and breadth. :"

Not Properly Supported.

In his concluding biennial report, Judge Frank Hill, late commission CT of agriculture, says: "The bu- reau of agriculture of Arkansas has never accomplished in this state what similar bureaus have accom- plished, and are accomplishing, in other states. The reason for this Is plain. Other states are investing $1O,O0O to $1OO,OO0 each year in pushing their agricultural interests. Arkansas invested during the last two years $375 per year. This $375, as well as the salary of the commis- sioner and his deputy, is paid from the general revenue in Arkansas. The natural resources of our state are superior to those of any of the states, and in my judgment our poor showing in this census is due largely to a lack of systematic ad- vertising and encouragement and education of our farmers. The advance in all lines of ag- riculture in the state of Louis- jana in the last decade has been something phenomenal, and has followed a careful adjustment of law and painstaking, studious ef fort to educate the farmers and en- courage them to adopt improved methods"

A Plea For the State Guard.

Adjutant General Chas. Jacob son has addressed a circular letter to members of the legislature urg- ing the necessity of an appropria- ton for the state militia. In urg- ing the appropriation Gen. Jacob son says: 'The state guard cannot maintain its standing without some financial assistance from the state, and to this end 1 enlist your sym pathy and cooperation. The office of adjutant general, as well as all other military positions connected with the guard, being without pay or allowance, the period has now ar rived, it is believed, when the state should supplement the act of the federal government by making a reasonable appropriation for its mil itary establishment. The national government contributes one million dollars annually, apportioned ac- cording to representation in con- gress, to the several states, this sum, however, being solely availa- ble in arms and equipments. No money allowance is granted, there fore the need of Arkansas lining up with her sister states by making a suitable appropriation for handling the supplies annually furnished by the government at Washington, also for the general conduct of concerns relating to the state guard"

NAVAL MIDSHIPMEN.

TWu To Be Appointed By Senators
 From Each State.
 Hartford, July 12.-Under the pro- visions of the naval appropriation bill approved by President Roosevelt July 1, the title of naval cadet" was changed to "midshipman," and two ad- ditional midshipmen will be appointed from each state upon the reeommenda-i ton of senators, thus giving each sen atof authority to select midshipman for he naval academy at Annapolis this year.
 Senator Hawley is desirous of re- commenting to ], the secretary of the navy for appointment as one of the midshipmen at large from Connecticut the best equipped young man for the position, and with this object in view he will be pleased if the young men who aspire to an appointment as mid- shipmen and who can meet the re- quirements indicated below, will for ward to him a formal application in their own handwriting, giving full name and address, age, height, weight, names of institutions of learning at tended, and the degree of progress
 
 Applicants should also forward with application letters of recommendation from persons of standing in their re- spective communities testifying to the applicants character and moral fitness for the position of midshipman.
 Senator Hawley is expected to be at the Allyn house, this city, on July 22 1902, from 10 a. m. to 12 m., and rom to p. m., to meet those applicants who desire to confer with him in re- gard to the appointment, and coiasider the applications on file with vicsv of determining whom he shall recommend as principal and alternates, of which there shall be five. Should the prin- cipal fail in the entrance examination the first alternate shall be appointed providing he is qualified; if not the second, and so on down the list. All applicants at the time of their exam ination for admission must be between the ages of 15 and 20 years, physically sound, we'll formed and of robust con- stitution.
 The principal and five alternates se- lected vii be examined on August II, 1902, by the local board of the United States civil service commission at any of the following places in Connecticut: New Haven, New London, Middle town, Hartford, Winsted and Willi- mantle, and at Washington, D. C., on September 15. 1902
 Three days will be required for the examination embracing the following subjects: Punctuation and capitals, grammar, geography, United States history, worlds history, reading, spell ing, arithmetic, algebra and geometry. The physical examination will be con- ducted by q board of three officers of the navy at the naval academy later in the fall
 Owing t o the very short time before the designation of principal and alter mates must be made August l, 1902 1t will be impossible and impractic- able to hold q competitive examina- ton, therefore the above course has been adopted.
