Is miles, II made in the winter months
must be by pack horses mounted on
snow shoes. The snow lies light and
inclined to drift, ana often accumu-
lates to depth of from 10 to Is feet.
Small pack horses are used, and after
being specially shod with shoes with
long calks. inclining sharply back
ward, snow shoe is put on. This
snow shoe is made eight inches in
diameter and circular in form. by
placing Pinch boards with the grain
at right angles. to increase the
strength. Tenents are then cut in the
top surface into which the calks fit.
Bolts are then passed through the
boards on each side of the mind calks,
to which is connected a strap which
passes over the front of the hoof
which can be frightened by means Of
nuts on the under side. This pre-
vents the hoofs of the animals slip
ping forward, and the calks inclining
backward prevent the shoe slipping
backward, When first these snow
shoes are put on It is an amusing
sight TO watch the maneuvers of the
horse; II takes some little time for
him to get used to them. But il is
surprising to note the effect 1t has on
the ordinary animal. He walks along
with as much confidence as the aver
age Norwegian would on his skees.
and really lifts his foot to have It put
on, seeming to understand the real
necessity Of their existence. With
these shoes good loads can be packed
over quite soft snow.

Iowa to Succeed Gage az Secretary
of the Treasury.
WILL TAKE OFFICE IN JANUARY
Iowa People Are Greatly EIated Over
the Appointment and Think II
10 Well Made.

Washington, Dec. 25.-It was an
nounced authoritatively this evening
that Gov. Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa
would be appointed secretary of the
treasury to succeed Secretary Lyman
J. Gage. There will be no change in
the office of secretary Of agriculture,
Secretary Wilson, of Iowa, continuing
to hold that portfolio.
The date of transfer of the treasury
department will depend on the NUT
ual convenience of the outgoing and
incoming secretary. Mr.. Gage has
signified his willingness to remain at
the head of his department until such
time as 1t may be agreeable to his
successor to take hold. 1t is sup
posed, however, that Governor Shaw
will be inducted into his new office
some time in January. II has been
known for two or three days that
Governor Shaw was slated for the ap-
pointment to succeed Secretary Gage,
but It was not until today that the
Iowa executive accepted the tender
made to him.
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 25.-Gov. Les
lie M. Shaw was interviewed this
evening with reference to his appoint
ment as secretary of the treasury
He still declined to talk at length
about the matter, merely reiteratine
that the president had confidentially
asked him by wire IL he would accept
the position II 1t was rendered to him
He replied that he would accept, but
up to the present time no formal ten
der of the position had been made by
the president.
However, from the tone of the dis
patches from Washington, he as
sumed the president will appoint hin
and that to all intents and purposes
the matter had been fully settled.
The governors term as chief ex
ecutive of Iowa will not expire unit
Jan. 16. The legislature convenei
Jan. 13 and Governor Shaw will b'
very busy In the interim with thu
preparation of his annual message
SO that II the appointment by thu
president is made Gov. Shaw vii

OF secretary Of the treasury befor'
the goth Of January, and possibl!
later.

Proposes That Commission Should

Be Enlarged or

Preparatory 70 submitting TO voters a
proposition for increase Of taxation. for the
PURPOSE Of charging public buildings. May
or Wells may appoint a civil commission
composed Of twenty-eight members TIL
Mayor has not yet decided upon the best
method for bringing the condition OF eiee-
mosynary institutions TO the attention OF
the public. hut he has under consideration
a Plan which he deems practicable, and by
which the people could obtain facts for their
information and guidance at the polls.
Mayor Wells proposes that every ward in

commission. II he should finally conclude
81 ~ appointing such 4 commission At
least one resident OF each ward. a man Of
urquestionable ability ard integrity. would
be selected. so that the commission would
he. in the fullest s.nse. a citizens organi-
cation.
This commission would inspect all build
ings owned by the city. ascertain what i'm
p~rovements. alterations and additions are
necessary. and, in a statement TO the pub
lie. declare the best and most economical
means to bring about a change for the but
ter. With the assistance Of a committee OF
the local chapter Of the architects associa-
ton. the commission would estimate the
cost OF proposed improvements and fOrmu-
late satisfactory plans. The chapter has
assured the Mayor that its members will
serve the city without compensation
Mayor Wells believes It would be better
for a nonpartisan, disinterested body 10
conduct the investigation and suggest what
improvements are necessary TO public build
ings. than to have the suggestions come
from city officials. The opinion of a commits
sion composed OF representatives from all
OF the twenty-eight wards would give, he
believes. a s~alutary impression. as its YER
dict would be unbiased ard conservative
rough to assure the people that its coHclu-
sicns are based on real conditions.
1t seems to me" the Mayor said. that
the plan IS practicable. and would meet
with general favor. The eIeemosynary insti-
tutions are in a deplorable state and some
thing should be done for the city's wards
WHIT live in them. I should like to have all
public buildings enlarged or improved as
may be necessary. hut especially the elee-
rsCsynary institutions.
The City Hall should be finished. but its
completion IS not urgent. As i is We can
manage to transact the city's business in
it. even though parts OF the interior do not
present an inviting appearance. We can
get along In il. Tine hospitals must receive
our first attention. for the sake Of the in
valids who are housed in them.
1T is probable that 1 shall appoint a COM
mission comprising representatives from all
the wards. AT present this plan appeals to
me as the best. for every ward should be
represented and the people should know
facts in order to vote inteliisently. II is my
