vfve Civilizations March.
One of the remarkable features Of
country life in America is the singular
dugout canoe. No matter how thickly
settled a section may become or how
long it may have been settled, these
two survivors Of early settlement linger
on as stubbornly as ever. Today in the
thickest settled parts of New England
and New York tl~ rail fence is met
with, while the shad fishermen of the
Potomac and James rivers and Chesa-
peake bay, on the banks of which the
first English settlements in America
were established, still manufacture and
employ the old dug0ut canoe in making
the rounds of their shad nets.
The dugout canoe is the simplest and
most primitive water craft known and
was used by prehistoric man, both in
this country, Europe and Asia. 1t is
made out of log Of wood by trimming
the outside down to the proper proper
tions OF boat and by digging out
the inside with an adj and by the aid
Of fire. The Potomac river dugout is to-
day pretty much the same as it was
in the days of Powhatan and differs
from the general run of dugout canoes
in the absence Of a curved bow and
stern and in having rather high sides,
which rise to a summit from either
end of the boat, being highest in the
middle, where the seat is placed

Little Joke Which Denver Paper
Played on ITSELF

The Joke seems to be on the Denver
Times. In recent issue it says:
General Passenger Agent Lomax of
the Union Pacific worked the Asso
ciated Press for a good advertisement
yesterday and the papers this morning
printed it. 1t is that the Union Pacific
announces a rate of S33 from Chicago
and $25 from the Missouri river to Cali
fornia, Washington and Oregon. This
rate was authorized in June at the
meeting of the Transcontinental Pas
senger association in Colorado Springs.
and every transcontinental road has
been carrying large display advertise
ments of the rates. One of the Denver
morning papers this morning printed
the press dispatch, placing a border
around the story, while on another page
in the same paper was display adver-
tisement of the rates."
In the same column with this Eek
pose" it prints as news item the sub
stance of that same Associated Press
dispatch. 1t says:

FENCES MUST COME DOWN.

In the past great tracts of the public
domain have been fenced in by persons
having no title thereto. in direct def
ance Of the law forbidding the mainte-
nance or construction of any such un-
lawful Enclosure of public land. For
various reasons there has been little in
reference with such Enclosures in the
past. but ample notice has now been
given the trespassers. and all the re-
sources at the command of the Govern
ment will hereafter be used to put q
stop TO such trespassing From Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message.
John 8. Mosby, Special Inspector Of
the United States Land Office at WASH
ington, has arrived in Omaha on his
way West, and will at moe begin pro-
ceedings for the removal of fences from
Government lands. Colonel Mosby
says that tracts containing thousands
of acres have been illegally fenced in
by cattlemen, and that his purpose is tc
have these fences torn down. Notices
will be served upon the alleged vio-
~lators. giving them sixty days in which
to remove the fences.

RoosEvELT's MESSAGE
TO the NATION.
Principal Points I'm the Presidents
Message.

mt8sekts
President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress onveys lucidly an idea OF the pros
perity Of the country, and touches partic-
ularly upon the necessity for the regula-
ton Of trusts and the imperative require
ments Of the army and navy.
The President uses vigorous Ian
guage against unlawful monopolies, I'M
lust discrimination and fraudulent over
capitalization which have injured inter-
state trade, and recommends that Con-
gress pass a reasonable and effective law
for the regulation OF combines. A gen.
eral reduction of the tariff, he believes,
would not bring about the desired result.
In reference to anthracite coal, the
President urges that it be put on the free
list.
Interesting comment is made on the
isthmisn canal project, the progress OF
negotiations with Colombia, and the adj
v~sntages which will accrue from the pro-
posed waterway.
The development of the navy is one OF
the chief desires of the President. He
earnestly recommends that there should
be no halt in the construction fighting
craft for the nation.
OF the Philippines he says peace has
been permanently restored and he is
generous of praise for the achievements
of the army in the Orient islands.
The practical, war-preparatory system
in the military service is commended.
and there is strong recommendation OF
the establishment of a general staff.
The needs OF Alaska are not forgotten,
and it is urged that Congress consider .
revision of legislation for that Territory.
The reports of the Postoffice Depart
ment are referred to as indicating the
striking increase Of business activity
throughout the country.
The giving OF scientific aid to the farm
ing population has shown good results.
In the matter of the merit system in
the public service President Roosevelt
says much beneficial progress has been
made.
The message also contains recommen-
dations for economy in the Printing De-
partment and the preservation of his
toric buildings.

which is heartily approved. that the
