CLARK OF MISSOURI.
MAN WHO MAY LEAD DEMOCRATS IN
NEXT CONGRESS.

Qualities That Have Made the Bree-
"esterner National Figure.
Foreefui as an Orator and n Ready
Debater-A Unique Personality.
Political prognostlcators at the na.
tional capital predict that the leader
OF the minority in the Fifty-eighth
congress will hail from Missouri. The
honor Of marshaling the forces Of the
Democracy in the next national legisla-
ture. it is said, rests between Champ
Clark and David a. De Almond. both
of whom have ably represented Mis-
souri, constituencies for many years.
In point of length of service Mr.. De
Almond has a small advantage over
his no less distinguished contemporary.
Since his election TO the Fifty-second
congress Mr.. De Almond has regularly
been returned. Champ Clark first APP
peared in congress as n member of the
F'ifty-third house, but fell outside the
breastworks" in the succeeding cam
palgn. He succeeded in the next and
since that time has been continuously
elected.
1t is safe to say that there is proba-
bly, no member of congress whose
name is better known to the country
at large than that of Champ Clark.
This is due in a measure to the fact
that he devotes much of his spare time
to lecturing on the public platform,
and still more so that he sends broad
cast over the country. through the me
dium of the largest newspaper syndi-
cate in the world, weekly letter on
live political topics. This letter is. of
course, Democratic in tone. for Champ
Clark is first, last and all the time
Democrat.
In connection with this feature of
Mr.. Clark's labors the following Incl.
dent is pertinent and characteristic.
Mr.. Graft of Illinois. replying to a
statement of the Missourian, made the
remark:
Il think it is well known that men
who have genius to design great struc-
lures or to write poems or to deliver
magnificent speeches like those deliv,
cred by my friend from Missouri sell
dom have any business sense"
Il have sense enough to get some
pay for my speeches outside of con-
gress,' retorted Mr. Clark. convulsing
his auditors.
In his own style of oratory Mr.. Clark
has few equals. A few years ago he

Quick Silver In Eastern Chihuahua.

That there is quick silver in
eastern Chihuahua has been
known for some time; especially
in this so on the Mexican. side of
the Rio Grande opposite Terlin-
qua, Texas.
The Stillwell mining companies
have been having this section
explored for some time and it is
believed with promising results.
They have discovered II territory
II miles north of San Carlos on
the Rio Grande "a miles long and
one.fourth of mile wide con-
tanning deposits of ores bearing
quick silver and formation very
similar to the Terlingua district.
One vein, 10 inches wide, shows
rs per cent quick silver. This
section particularly resembles the
portion of Terlingua wheie the
Marposa mine is located and
which is producing heavily at the
present time.-Chihuahua Enter

The Way to Make a Cannon.

MIGHTY TREES OF SIERRA.
Greatest In Size Of All Creations Of
the Living World.

During all these ages nature has
favored the growth of forests on the
Pacific mountains, providing the pc
culiar conditions which make them
far different, much greater in size,
more luxuriant, than any other in
the world. OF all the creations of
the living world none is SO great in
size, so majestic in presence, as the
mighty trees of the Sierra and the
Cascades For here the air is always
fertile with moisture. Clouds blown
W from the Pacific ocean rest among
the mountain SUBMITS, even crown
ing the tops of the trees themselves,
and here discharge their rain. The
soil is deep and spongy with CEN
turies of decomposing vegetable
matter, furnishing an unequaled
nurturing place for vegetation, and
there are no extremes Of heat in
summer or depths of cold in win
ter. Every condition has been ia
vorable to unexampled exuberance
of growth not only of the larger
trees, but Of all manner of under
growth, vine, shrub and brake. A
huge tree falls, decays and is yell
lowed with thick moss. Immedi-
ately scores Of young frs and cedars
spring up along the top of it, the
first chance Of bare spot in the
wood. Old burned stumps, gather
ing soil in their hollow interiors,
are nurseries for colonies of young
trees, some strong individual final
ly shouldering out the others, grow
ing larger, and, as the mother stump
drops away, sending its roots down
ward into the earth through the dis
migrating textures until it in time
becomes a great tree.
Even where the lumberman has
laid the country waste with AK and
fire the new growth, creeping in 81
lently from all directions, clothes
the naked land with green within a
year or two, a tangle of vcrdure al
most impossible. Some of the old
cuttings of Wisconsin and Maine
have become all but barren wastes,
the new growth coming in slowly or
not at all, but here reforestation,
unless prevented by continued fires
or cultivation, goes forward imme-
ately. There is no hindering the
work of the fertile earth and the
moist winds, and if these hills when
cut over could be protected they
would again produce great forest,
though none of us might wait to see
the harvest.
We hear much of the magnitude
of western numbering operations.
Truly they are great and wonderful,
and yet so vast are the forests that
men have barely notched the edges.
An eye that could see the continent
length would hardly perceive the
puny cuttings Of the few loggers
among the great trees, though he
might see the blackened evidences
of the forest fire.-Ray Stannard
Baker in Century.

The Word "Creole.n

A creole, strictly speaking, is any
person born in this country of for
eign parents. Because the word is
from the Spanish criollo, a child,
the use of it has been restricted,
first, to children of foreign parents
born in Louisiana and, second, to
children Of Spanish or French par
ents born in Louisiana, and then in
the north the word has been per-
verified so that it is believed to i'm
ply some strain of negro blood in a
person to whom it is applied. 1t
does not imply anything Of the sort.

LAST WEEKS REUNION.
The Attendance OF Veterans was Very
Small. Enjoyed by Those
Who Participated.

The reunion of the Colorado
Concho Confederate Veterans
Association, held at this place on
last Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, was very successful when
considered from the standpoint
of arrangement and amusement;
but the attendance of veterans
was very small, especially of those
who were camped on the grounds.
The local arrangement commit
tee had everything in readiness
for the occasion and the program
was all that could have been de-
sired by the visitors.
The association was called to
order Wednesday morning at 8
O'Clock by Major J. w. Ratch-
ford, of Paint Rock, and Col. A..
J. Baker, in his usual eloquent
style, welcomed the visitors, the
response to which was delivered
by Col. j. G.. Stocks, Of Ballinger.
After some soul-stirring music
by the band, which included
Dixie, the favorite of all, Rev. w.
L.!Whltley offered the invocation
and the association adjourned for
dinner.
In the afternoon Col. A. J.
Baker introduced Col w. l..
Lowrance, of Dallas, who deliv-
cred most interesting address,
giving the audience some valuable
historical facts.
The second days program was
was given by the Daughters of the
Confederacy and was a success in
every way, as is every movement
in which this organization takes
an interest.
Friday concluded the reunion
and with its close the veterans re-
turned to their homes much re-
freshed by the outing and reiolc-

hymens alter one Of Sherwood s
most lovely and charming daugh-
tiers, Miss Maud Moore.
The Methodist church was
beautifully decorated and as the
wedding march, played by Miss
Gertrude Noelke, permeated the
still, cool atmosphere, Mr.. Will
Noelke and Miss Inez Brock, Miss
May Allen and Mr.. George Brock
marched up the aisle and were
followed by the bride and groom
and in the presence of Il large
crowd Rev. NJ. j. Allen spoke the
solemn words that made them
one. Mr.. Noelke has lived in
Sherwood from his early boyhood
and 10 well known throughout
the entire country as a young man
of good morals and aside from all
else a Christian gentleman. He
is one of Irons best citizens and
among the leading ranchmen of
the county. Miss Moore too, is
well known in Sherwood. She is
a devout Christian, a lady of re-
tinement, is very popular among
the young people and special
favorite among the older ones.
She has been IN the employ of
Frank w. Roberts for several
moths, being one of his most
efficient clerks. She will be
greatly missed. }
This fair young couple left i'm
mediately after the marriage
ceremony for their ranch ID miles
from town where he had prepared
a lovely home for his bride. =
