houses for boats, launches, bicycles,
Sumner cottages, children's playhouscs
and other purposes. It's primary use,
however, Is for automobiles
Such a house can be bought from SO
up, and when it is considered that the
cost of storing or automobile for a
season at the seashore is about $40
and in tn? city about $25, so far as eX-
pense is concerned, the new idea Is an
economizer. The fact that the house
can be moved from place to place
makes it convenient for those who
change their location frequently, and
as nothing but a few screws and bolts
are used in its erection, it Is not a per
manent fixture on the land where it is
put up. Means are provided for ven
tilatiOn, and the solid earth furnishes
the floor of the house Used as a sum-
mer cottage, it can be taken to the sea.

CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZUELA.
Reference to The Hague Court a
Great Triumph for Arbitration.

It will be remembered that during the
second session of the last Congress Great
Britain. Germany and Italy formed an al
lance for the purpose of blockading the
ports of Venezuela and using such other
means of pressure as would secure a set
tlement of claims due, as they alleged. to
certain Of their subjects. Their employ
ment of force for the collection of these
claims was terminated by an agreement
brought about through the offices of the
diplomatic representatives Of the United
States at Caracas and the Government at
Washington. thereby ending a situation
which was bound to cause increasing fric-
tion, and which jeoparded the peace OF
the continent Under this agreement Ven
ezuela agreed to set apart a certain per-
centage OF the customs receipts Of two
of her ports to be applied to the payment
of whatever obligations might be ascer-
tanned by mixed commissions appointed
for that purpose to be due from her, not
only to the three powers already men,
toned. whose proceedings against her had
resulted in a state of war. but also to the
United States, France. Spain, Belgium,
the Netherlands Sweden and Norway.
and Mexico, who had not employed force
for the collection of the claims alleged TO
be due TO certain OF their citizens.
A demand was then made by the so
called blockading powers that the sums
aseertained to be due TO their citizens by
such mixed commissions should be &C
corded payment in fun before anything
was paid upon the claims Of any of the
so-called peace powers. Veuezuela, on the
other hand. insisted that all her creditors
should be paid upon a basis Of exact
equality. During the efforts to adjust
this dispute IL was suggested by the
powers in interest that Il should be re-

DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA.
Legislation Is Needed and the Survey
of Public Lands Urged.

l call your special attention to the Ter
ritory of Alaska. The country Is develop
ing rapidly, and it has an assured future.
The mineral wealth Is great and has as
yet hardly been tapped. The fisheries, If
wisely handled and kept under National
control, will be a business as permanent
as any other, and of the utmost import
ance to the people. The forests, If
properly guarded will form another great
source of wealth. Portions of Alaska
are fitted for farming and stockraising,
although the methods must be adapted to
the peculiar conditions of the country.
Alaska Is situated in the Far North; but
so are Norway and Sweden and Finland;
and Alaska can prosper and play Its part
in the New World Just as those nations
have prospered and played their parts in
the Old World Proper land laws should
be enacted and the survey of the public
lands Immediately begun. Coal-land laws
shold be provided whereby the coal-land
entryman may make his location and Sc
cure patent under methods kindred to
those now prescribed for homestead and
mineral entrymen. Salmon hatcheries, ex-
clusively under Government control,
should be established The cable should
be extended from sitka westward. Wagon
roads and trails should be built, and the
building Of railroads promoted in all le-
sitimate ways. Lighthouses should be
built along the coast Attention should be
paid TO the needs OF the Alaska Indians,
provision should be made for an officer,
with deputies, to study their needs, re-
lieve their immediate wants, and help
them adapt themselves to the new con-
ditions.

THE ARMY.
System of Promotion by Mere Senior
ity Is Not Veil.

The effect of the laws providing a gen.
eral staff for the Army, and for the more
effective use of the National Guard, has
been excellent. Great improvement has
been made In the efficiency of our Army
in recent years Such schools as those
erected at Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley and the institution of Fall maneuver
work accomplished satisfactory results.
The good effect Of these maneuvers upon
the National Guard is marked, and ample
appropriation should be made to enable
the guardsmen of the several states to
share in the benefit. The Government
should as soon as possible secure suitable
permanent camp sites for military man
euyers In the various sections of the coun-
try. The service thereby rendered not
only to the regular Army, but to the Ma
tional Guard of the several states will be
so great as to repay many times over the
relatively small expense. We should not
rest satisfied with what has been done,
however. The only people who are con-
tented with a system OF promotion by
mere seniority are those who are con-
tented with the triumph of mediocrlty
over excellence. On the other hand, a
system which encouraged the exercise OF
social or political favoritism in promo
tions would be even worse. But it would
surely be easy to devise a method of pro-
motion from grade to grade in which the
opinion of the higher officers of the serv-
ice upon the candidates should be decisive
upon the standing and promotion of the
latter Just such system now obtains
at West Point.

PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
Need There,f Is Recognized Now as
Never Before.

The study OF the opportunities of recla-
nation of the vast extent of arid land
shows that whether this reclamation is
done by individuals, corporations, or the
state, the sources of water supply must be
effectively protected and the reservoirs
guarded by the preservation of the for
ests at the headwaters OF the streams
The engineers making the preliminary ex-
aminations continually emphasize this
need and urge that the remaining public
lands at the headwaters of the important
streams of the West be reserved to in
sure permanency of water supply for ir-
rigation. Much progress in forestry has
been made during the past year. The ne
cessity for perpetuatlng our forest re-
sources, whether in public or private
hands, is recognized now as never be-
fore. The demand for forest reserves has
become insistent in the West, because the
West must use the water, wood and Sum-
mer range which only such reserves can
supply. Progressive lumbermen are striv-
Ing, through forestry, to give their busi-
ness permanence. Other great business
interests are awakening to the need OF
forest preservation as a business matter
The Governments forest work should re-
ceive from the Congress hearty support,
and especially support adequate for the
protection of the forest reserves against
fire. The forest-reserve policy of the Gov
ernment has passed beyond the expert
mental stage and has reached a condl-
ton where scientific methods are essential
to its successful prosecution. The admin
istrative features of forest reserves are at
present unsatisfactory, being divided be-
tween three bureaus Of two departments.
II is therefore recommended that all mat
a.
those involving or pertaining to land
titles, be consolidated in the Bureau of
Forestry Of the Department Of Agrieul-
ture.

WASHINGTON, Dec 7.-President
Roosevelt's message to Congress was read
before the Senate and House today. The
text of the message follows:
To the Senate and House of~Representa-
tives:
The country Is to be congratulated on
the amount of substantial achievement
which has marked the past year, both
as regards our foreign and as regards our
domestic policy.
With a nation as with a man the most
important things are those of the house,
hold and therefore the country is espe-
cially to be congratulated on what has
been accomplished in the direction of pro-
viding for the exercise of supervision over
the great corporations and combinations
of corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce. The Congress has created the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor, includ-
ing the Bureau of Corporations, with for
the first time authority to secure proper
publicity of such proceedings of these
great corporations as the public has the
right to know. 1t has provided for the
expediting of suits for the enforcement Of
the Federal antitrust law; and by an
other law 1t has secured equal treatment
to all producers in the transportation OF
their goods, thus taking a long stride
forward in making effective the work of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
