News and Comments
Free Coal for Politics Only.

Welsh coal imported on account Of
the Pennsylvania strike is now being
admitted duty free in this city as "an-
thracite not yet analysed" This is IL
legal. The tariff on coal containing
less than 80 per cent carbon is 81 cents
per ton. This provision was inserted
in the Dingley law in an underhand
manner to make the people think that
anthracite is free when it is not. But
II is the law. The only reason for it's
non-enforcement is the fear in WASH
ington that the delay of analyzing the
coal and the added cost of the tariff
upon 1t when it so badly needed would
lose votes to 'the party" next Tues
day. And so it would, and so It should
But il "the party" wants votes, why
not seek them honestly by promising

Where He Belongs.

That an effort is to be made to Sc
cure pardon for William Miller, of
$40 per cent. Franklin Syndicate fame,
is clearly indicated by the fact that a
motion has been made before Judge
Asrinall. in Brooklyn, for the dismis-
sal of all outstanding indictments
against him. The hearing was post
poned until Monday, when the district
attorney Of Kings county will oppose
the motion. There may not be the
slightest reason to suppose that even
the first preliminary step in the direc-
tion of pardon cam be successfully
taken, inasmuch as something is do
irg'' in Miller's interest it seems worth
while to say that, being in Sing Sing
under ten years sentence, he is in
just the right place, though it might
be wished that the period OF appoint
ed residence there were longer. - New

A TTORNEY JOSEPH M. BLAKE
"a of Canton, who had been so.
journing in the west for over two
months, returned home Thursday
evening looking rugged and tanned,
showing evidences of having rough
ed it, while gone. Upon request he
related some of his experiences and
gave a vivid account of his trip. His
story is so different from the usual
stereotyped tale that appears in mag
azines or is found in tourists guides
that 1t will be read with interest.
Mr.. Blake left Canton August "a,
determined to see the west and see
it right before he came back His de-
termination was carried out. The in
cidents related below lead up to the
time he went into the mountains after
big game. That is another story.
The first week was put in at the
home Of his uncle, NJ L. Blake, at
Sheridan, Wyoming. and his house
was headquarters during the entire
stay. From this point pilgrimages
were made to the various points of
interest and to the game fields.
DUST WAS EVERYWHERE.
"The Yellowstone park was delight
full" said the narrator. THE weather
was delightful--the days warm, the
nights cool. The only unpleasant
thing about 1t was the dust, which
permeated everything. Our crowd had
many charming people in it, some
from England, the east, the south and
one gentleman from Hong Kong,
China, who knew Mr.. James Barber,
sr.
Our first days journey carried us
about forty miles to the Fountain ho-
tel, upon approaching which we saw
three or four bears in the distance
at the hotel dump. Upon reaching the
hotel, every man with a camera start
ed for the dump to photograph the
bears. / did not get started quite as
soon as the rest, and was some dis
tance behind. The crowd went up to
within 80 or 80 feet of the bears on
with their cameras that they did not
observe big cinnamon bear in their
rear among the horses.
"As l approached, the big awkward
cinnamon ambled leisurely from
among the horses and started toward
the crowd. sat down upon the
ground to watch results and almost
howled with delightful anticipation
TAKEN FROM REAR.
"The ungainly brute slowly crossed
the little bridge over the stream and
got within 80 feet of the camera crowd
before they saw it. The fellow who
saw him first gave wild yell and
then you should have seen the sprint
ing. The bear stood still and there
was board grin upon his countenance.
"The trip to within a half mile of
Yellowstone lakes is through a dry
country made interesting only by the
wonderful freaks of nature found
there. There are boiling springs of
all kinds, geysers that spout hot wa
ter into the air, boiling pools of differ
ent colored mud. pools of clear hot
water whose seemingly bottomless
depths reflect almost every color of the

at intervals with streams. dry and
otherwise. The rolling hills are call
ed hog backs and follow each other
in endless succession until they merge
into the mountains.
"The hills are covered with a scant
growth of grass, which when dried re-
tains all its nutriment, affording the
very finest pasture for cattle which
cover the hills. Along the Little Big
Horn river the land is fiat and in
habited by prairie dogs, rattlers and
owls The owls are little fellows not
quite as large as our screech owls.
Their legs are long and their bodies
short and stuffy. and very much re-
semble little brownies. The rattle
snakes here are not plentiful but later
saw them in large numbers.
"The grouse VIC were shooting are
called willow grouse. They are about
the size of small chicken and re-
semble in build and color our familiar
ruffed grouse. Our plan was to drive
the grouse into the narrow draws be-
tween the bills where they took ref
uge in the low thickets of wild plum,
chapperal and wild cherry bushes.
The bushes were SO low that they did
not interfere with the shooting and
the sport was great. The plums that
grow on the bushes are small and red
and very sweet and delicious. They

in the world.

are absolutely honest. You can leave
your camp for weeks and they will
not disturb anything. The only
thing they steal is steer once in
awhile, and then only enough to fur
nish them with beef.

camped is the one which settled Mon

Cured along it and in former days the
bones Of horses, and men and the re-

horns attached to skulls in fair state

"One Of the strange things which
this outdoor life produces is an in
ordinate desire for bacon. You want
it three times a day and want 1t bad.
We had wild ducks and grouse all the
time, but seldom ever touched them,
preferring the hog. They say out there
that II it had not been for bacon the
