alton Of the frontier.
VI course, in its fuller meaning, the
frontier OF the days Of early settlement
In the west Is the only one; that of today
is merely a statistical fiction. The census
takers ind an average population Of less
than two persons to the square mile and
draw a frontier line. Beyond. they say. is
"uninhabited." Yet across that boundary
are houses, sheds, corrals, barbed wire
fences, high grade cattle and wrinkIed-
neeced sheep. The frontier Of today is n
matter Of mathematics and theory: that
OF thirty years ago was definite. Men
could name the section line at which ciyili-
cation ceased and savagery began. The
rising tide Of immigration met with a re-
sistance that gave distinction to it's border
and clothed its advance with dramatics.
The bad man" and the homesteader went
side by side; the town lot promoter and
the dance house manager, the preacher
and the cowboy. The builders of new rail-
roads and drivers OF freight wagons on the
long trails were there; professional sharp
ers came with the Woodworking farmers.
The struggle with conditions was often
ll-advised. Out Of western Kansas and
NEBRASKA during the five years following
1880 moved a quarter of a million people.
The cattlemen fenced up the land again,
including alike the public domain and the
abandoned claim, thinking that never again
would there be inquiry for the property.
Or late the tide has turned westward opee
more and with a better understanding Of
the limitations OF the soil and climate
another effort is being made to settle
permanently the vast level expanse known
In western parlance as the "short-grass
country" Perhaps Il can be done, but it
Will not be by agriculture alone, and those
eager advocates Of settlement who are
urging special methods of crop-raising as
adapted to semi-arid western lands, may
have much to unlearn when the west meets
with another series Of drouthy seasons.
However this may be, It is certain that the
new settlers are entering on their task

Tributes IN Sailor nao1 Waves Sewn nth Blossoms

Why not make floral tributes to the re-
public's sailor dead a permanent feature
OF Memorial day throughout the country?
Thus to honor the naval heroes, whose I'M
marked graves are in the deep, elaborate
preparations are being made along the en-
tire coast OF California.
The ceremony consists largely in strew-
Ing flowers upon the ocean, which is thus
made literally 20 blossom as the rose. The
unique and beautiful idea originated with
Mrs. Armitage S. c. Forbes of Los Angeles.
CAL to whom the inspiration came in a
curious manner. Being among other things
q newspaper woman, Mrs. Forbes was anx-
ious to provide her paper with an original
Memorial day story. While bordering over
It one morning she sang a ~favorite song as
she went about the room, Cast Thy Bread
Upon the Waters" In her preoccupation
she substituted. unconsciously, flowers" for
bread" Cast Thy Flowers Upon the
Waters" she caroled and suddenly
stopped. Why not cast flowers upon the
waters which covered the sailors last rest
Ing place and thus inauguTate a custom
which should become a part OF the Me-
mortal day o~bservances7
Omaha daily bee., 1902-05-25

In places where flowers are not abundant
leaves can be substituted and beautiful
wreaths and garlands they make, as every
one knows.
This year Mrs. Forbes hopes to sue
coed in getting a ship sent out from Key
West to strew flowers over the Havana
harbor, and thus do honor to the victims
OF the Maine. The secretary of the navy
has promised the ship IL she can get the
flowers. but there arises her difficulty. for
Mowers do not grow at Havana or Key
West. This obstacle she hopes to over
come by having flowers donated by
patriotic women. two OF whom. Miss Helen
Gould OF New York and Mrs. Posey of Los
Angeles, she hopes may furnish all the
overs that are necessary.
There is no reason why every ship at
sea should not have a floral service Of its
own on Memorial day. The sailors could
make paper lowers. They are deft with
their fingers and could while away many a
tedious hour by making and the de-
signing of flower anchors, ships, flags and
such other emblems as suit their nautical
taste. The work would have the charm Of
novelty and appeal to the hearts OF all who
go down to the sea in ships.

will be prepared thus to survive in lean
crop years.
With the irrigationists reaching out from
the river valleys and the settlers moving
further westward over the only open plain
remaining this side the Rocky mountains,
with Pullman cars rolling where the stage
coach and the saddle pony have been, since
the beginning OF American settlement the
only modes Of conveyance, it is evident
that the frontier-even that Of the census
takers fiction-is passing into ancient his
tory. With it goes much Of the picturesque
in new lands. The cattle herd winding
along the dusty trail has some attraction
for nearly every one; the same herd hud-
died into a rumbling, dirty train Of stock
cars gets scarcely a glance and not a single
thought. The cowboy with his sombrero
appeals far more to our Imagination than
does the hired man following the harrow.
Yet 1t is out Of the civilization typifed by
the hired man and the cattle train that

deliberately trimmed with flowers and
launched from the wharf among the other
emolems sent out to sea. There is also a
rumor that they are designing a marvellous
anchor, which they will present to Mrs.
Forbes. to be used by her as her tribute
to their departed comrades, whom she is
interesting the country to honor.
II Is Mrs. Forbes notion to have the
observances In memory of the sailors sim
pie, but as impressive as possible. The
preliminary ceremonies are TO be held on
shore and will consist OF patriotic speeches
and songs, an address suitable to the oc-
casion and part or all OF the service for
the dead OF the National Association Of
Naval Veterans. After this the onacers in
charge and the school children are to
march down to the end Of a wharf. A
firing squad of soldiers will pseeede and on
their arrival will fire a salute over the
waves. The flower strewing will then begin
and thousands Of blossoms will be cast
upon the waters, some in garlands, some in
nautical emblems, others loose. but all OF
red. white and blue. The effect of the sea
poisoning with the national eolors is
most beautiful and stirs alike the heart OF
young and old.

support OF the highest officers Of the navy,
who heartily endorse her plans. Dewey,
Sampson, schley. Evans and many others
have written to her expressing their ap.
probation Of what she is trying to do for
those who have gone aloft forever.
Through the courtesy of the secretary OF
the navy and OF Colonel Stone Of San Fran
cisco a revenue cutter is to be placed at
Mrs. Forbes disposal for the ceremonies
this year. This will go out from Santa
Monica. flower trimmed and flower laden.
and impressive ceremonies will be held at
sea under the auspices Of the Naval As
ISOLATION Woman's Relief corps Of Los
Angeles. In addition to this a service will
be held on shore by the children.
1t is the ardent desire OF Mrs. Forbes
to have her floral tribute to the sailor
dead become a permanent feature OF Me-
mortal day throughout the country. It
need not be limited to the coast OF Cali
fornia-wherever there is water-be It

school superintendents was most enthusi-
astic. As a result OF this. on Memorial
day. a month after the idea was born,
beautiful ceremonies in honor Of the sailor
dead took place in the Pacific coast towns
near Los Angeles.
To Santa Monica this year belongs the
distinction Of having Mrs. Forbes in charge
Of the ceremonies. Long Beach and other
places along the coast have been eager to
get her. but she gives the preference to
