COLORADO COLONEL"
BY WIN. c. CAMPBELL.

When a railroad attorney turns his
hand to literary work his books are
not likely to he dull His calling IL
in itself d suggestion of life, hustle and
variety, and his point of view IL natu-
rally that of the traveller and cOsinopol-
itnn. "A Colorado Colonel and Other
Sketches" by William Carey Camp
bell, Is chiefly remarkable for the fnct
that it il permented in every line by
the spirit Of the West. A western story
written by tenderfoot Is invariably
as much or color as IL a western land
scape painted by an eastern artist from
a photograph In both while the out
lines may be wholly western, the at
mOsphere is that of the East.
Mr.. Campbell lives In Prescott, Ari-
zona, and IL general attorney for the
Santa Fe & Phoenix railway and the
Prescott & Eastern railroad. Formerly
he lived in Topeka, Kansas, and he is
substantially IL product Of the West.
Hence In describing western scenes and
western people he never touches a
false note. His westerners live and
breathe in their natural atmosphere.
His book consists of one tolerably
long story. a Western Colonel" and
nineteen shorter sketches of life and
New Mexico and Arizona. The story
and sketches are alike kaleidoscope
and In some instances unstudied and
sketchy after the impressionist style.
The delightful Colonel Golden 8. Fer
guson ID q mine promoter or boomer
Of the Colonel Sellers style, and his
peculiarities are exaggerated In the
story to the point of the buriesQue.
The romance is furnished by the love
affairs Of the younger people. whose
fortune 1t il to become associated with
him.
After saying that the local coloring
ia always perfect, the character Of the
short sketches will be pretty well sug-
gested by their titles, which are as
follows: "The Bucking Bronco"
"Quien Sabe!" The Eagle and the
Jackrabbit," "a Cat Greek Conversa-
tion," 1.-The Backsliding at Cat Creek"
I'm Arizona" Soda Springs Smith"
"Governor for Five Minutes" pixies
Peak by Moonlight" Colonel Jackson
of Colorado" The Medicine Man."

1.-THE Opening Of the Cherokee Strip"
"Christmas on the Huerfano," Heap
Big Injun," "Fables Of the Desert" "A
Kansas Emigrant," AT the Bright
anger Irau, NE Cow CdtcneT.
While there is much quiet humor and
some exaggeration in the stories, they
are In no way sensational. They are
smoothly and entertainingly written
and make easy reading. A few of
them appeared in magazines or news
papers before they were put In book
form.
The work is handsomely illustrated
by a large number of half tones from
photographs and drawings. The ty-
biography. paper, presswOrk and bind
ing are highly creditable to the pub

A GREAT MAGNET.
Such d the Character of the Planet We In

Such b the Character of the Planet We In
habit.
While We know that the earth is a
magnet, no one Is able to say what
makes 1t 80. The fundamental secret
of terrestrial magnetism has not been
solved. Then, too, there nre various
changes In direction which mark the
behavior of the needle that remains
to be explained.
These questions are often asked:
what influence is 1t that makes the
needle swing to and fro to a micro
scopic extent every day? Why is 1t
that the diurnal swing is greater in
years of sun spot abundance than at
the minimum stage of solar activity?
Why do the Indications of the needle
differ In summer from those Of winter?
What is the key to the mystery Of the
long period movement that makes 1t
necessary to rechart the situation?
What causes the cOnvulslve behavior
of the magnets for few hours or days
when there is a great outbreak Of
sun spots? And Is there any relation
between the weather and the fiuctuA-
tons in the earth's magnetism There
are theories on these subjects, but no
generally accepted doctrines, but the
human mind is so constituted that 1t
will not rest until further light Is OBJ
tained.

srkAMBoATINo IN UTAH.
Steamer UnAins VIII Ply ON the Grand
AAd Green Rivera.

ma Green Rlvefa.
A few days ago the Inhabitants of
the little town of Moab, located on the
Grand river In eastern Utah, were as
tonished at the sight of genuine
steamboat making It's way slowly up
the river and stopping in front Of their
place. There was no wharf to tie to.
1t was the steamer UndIne, Captain
Summerville, that had made Its way
down the Green river from Green Riv
er station, on the Rio Grande Western,
to It's junction with the Grand, and
then up the Grand to Moab. The de-
tails Of this Initial trip are given by
the Grand Junction Sun. The Undine
il sixty feet long, with ten-foot
beam, and Is capable of carrying thirty
tons of freight. The time occupied In
the trip IL not stated, but Captain
Summervtlle announced to the people
of Moab that he would carry their
freight to and from Green River sta
ton at a much less cost than the pres
ent wagon haul. This proposition was
enthusiastically received by the farm
ers and fruit growers Of that section,
who thus saw way to get their fruit
to market Instead OF permitting 1t TO
rot on the trees, as has been the GUS
tom heretofore. II he can obtain
enough freight the captain will inau-
gurate regular service. The currents
of these rivers are very swift. but II
the Undine Is built as she should be,
there Is no reason known to the News
why steamboat service should not he
successfully inaugurated on these riv-
ers. Steamboating in the very heart
of the continent may strike some peo-
pie rs novel, II not Impractical, but 1t
should be remembered that the Green
and the Grand are both might rivers
with volumes of water exceeded by
few streams on the continent.-Denser
