 He very urgently recommends that stock cattle only, other than those owned by Indians, shall be allowed to come on and into that portion oi the addition lying south of the Little Colorado river during the time named, from December to May 1, oi the following year; also that no out. side stock other than that owned by the Indians, shall be allowed upon the portion of the reservation indi- cated between these dates-May l and December of the same year; and fur ther, that no sheep other than those owned by the Indians be allowed thereon; also that this privilege be allowed to stock cattle which natur- ally drift upon said portion of the ex- tension and not to cattle to be driven thereon; that the north line of the privilege granted shall be the center of the Little Colorado river, and that stockmen or their cattle shall not go north thereof.
 He is of the opinion that when the final decision in this matter is reached it would be right to lay such decision before the Board of Supervisors of Coconino county, Flagstaff, Arizona; also to acquaint you with the result; likewise to furnish you with list of the stOckmen whose cattle are to graze on the extension, in case the privi- lege recommended is granted.
 In connection with this subject the office has to state that the statements and recommendations contained in the report of Frank Mead, above referred to, have been considered very care fully. His recommendations are ap- proved. You will SO advise the pro- per officials of Coconino county, Ari- zOna. You will also obtain from them list of the names of stockmen who are to make use of the grazing privileges indicated. When you shall have obtained such list you will fur nish this office copy of the same for use and information. You will also see that no other white men graze stock cattle upon that portion of the addition south of the Little Colorado river other than those included in the list furnished you by the proper off, cials of said county. They should be permitted to graze, as indicated, their cattle from December l to May 1. After that time you will see that their cattle are removed beyond the limits of said addition to the Navajo reser- vation- During the time that stock men have the privilege of grazing upon the lands in question, you will look after the interests of the Indians and see that they are not interfered with. The Indians should be encour- aged in the business of stock grow ing, and in the pursuit of agriculture and gardening where practicable on said addition. Every effort should be made to promote their general welfare and interests.
 You will advise the proper county officials of the action taken by this office upon the matter under consider ation, and also the stockmen inter- ested in the subject. From time to time the office would be pleased to

Chiefs Joseph and Geronimo, two 0f the most famous Indian chiefs alive,
 will make their home on the Indian
 reservation at the Worlds Fair dur
 ing the seven months of the exposition. Four miles of Standard gauge rail-
 road tracks have been laid in the
 Palace of Transportation at the
 Worlds Fair. Even this does not exhaust the floor space of the spacious structure.
 The largest pipe organ ever built has been shippe' from Los Angeles to St. Louis. It will be placed in the Festival Hall at the Worlds Fair. The organ has 145 stops, and some of the larger pipes are five feet in diam eter.
 The Palace of Agriculture at the Worlds Fair is the largest building ever built to contain a single depart rnent. It is l68O by 548 feet, and cov- CTS 23 acres. The buildingis finished, and the installation of exhibits Is in progress.
 Connecticut's building at the Fair is finished and the furnishings are be- ing installed. The building is a re- plica of the Sigourney mansion at Hartford, and much of the woodwork in the original structure has been placed i'd the reproduction.
 Workmen are installing the wonder full floral clock at the Worlds Fair. The steel framework, which was made in Milwaukee, Wis, is being placed. The flowers that will conceal the mechanism are in pots in the green. houses, and will be installed about April l5. The dial of the clock is 1l2 feet across.
 The sculpture adorning the Worlds Fair grounds at St. Louis, embracing creations by the worlds greatest sculptOrs, has cost more than half a million dollars. Sculpture was never used so freely in adorning an expo- sition grounds, and critics say that the offerings never possessed so great artistic merit.
 The exhibit of the Philippine Islands at the Worlds Fair will cost more than million dollars. Over 1000 native Filipinos will comprise part of the exhibit, and forty acres of ground are required for the native buildings and villages. An accurate reproduction of section of the wall around ancient Manila is one of the architectural features.
 The Worlds Fair special stamps will be sent from Washington to the frst-class postoffices of the country on April 2l, but are not to be placed on sale, however, until April 30, the day of the opening of the exposition at St. Louis. The one-cent stamp bears the likeness of Robert R. Livingston, the two-cent stamp bears the likeness of Thomas Jefferson, the three-cent stamp will bear the portrait of James Monroe, and the ave-cent stamp will be adorned with the face of William Mckinley. Upon the ten-cent stamp there will be map of the United States, showing the territory included in the Louisiana purchase.

BIG MERGER OF
GOULD ROADS
SAID TO DEPEND ON NORTHERN
SECURITIES DECISION.
In Case That Form of Corporation Is
Held Legal, the Gould Interests
Will Be More Completely Unified
Ten Thousand Miles of Road In-
yOlyed

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The Gould inter-
ests are getting ready for the con-
solidation Of the eastern lines they
control into convenient groups. Ar
rangements incidental to taking over
the Pittsburg, Carnegie & Western are
said to have been completed. The
scheme does not involve, however, the
unification of the entire Gould sys-
TEN, having in view merely the con-
solidation Of the Gould property in
the central states and Pennsylvania.
With the completion of the sPittsburg-
Baltimore line, it is expected that a
similar deal will bring the Western
Maryland, the Virginia Central, the
Little Kanawha, with the new lines
projected directly by the Wabash, into
one eastern group.
Nothing will be done regarding the
proposed combination of Gould's west
ern lines until after the supreme court
has announced it's decision in the
Northern Securities case. Should the
! decision be in favor of Mr.. Hill, q
similar corporation is to be formed to
take in all the Gould lines. This
will mean united system Of 10000
miles of road. When completed it
will reach across the country, altho
j the stretch from Salt Lake City to
San Francisco will be over Harrimans
| Southern Pacific. The total capital
ization of the Gould roads is $416,-
| 2S5,900, and the bonded Indebtedness
| $430,703,620.

MINNESOTA POLITICS
Question Of VeracIty-Red Wing Re-
publican Comes Out for Dunn-Thon-
as Lowry Finds No DisaftectIon from
Roosevelt

Frank A. Day emphatically denies that
he was present with other democratic
editors at a conference in Bob Dunn's
office, which was surprised by Frank
Eddy. He says:
THE incident never occurred and the
entire story is a fabrication. The Senti-
mel is proud to number Mr.. Dunn among
its friends. the same as it does scores
Of other good republicans, but when it
comes to state politics it is not necessary
to say that the democratic ticket will re-
ceive the Sentinels support. Mr.. Dunn
understands this perfectly WE'LL but he is
not SO narrow between the eyes as to let
it affect his social relations with old
time friends
Frank Eddy did not tell the story for
publcat ton, but it spread pretty rapidly
and found it's way into the Fairmont
News Now it approaches a question of
veracity.
The Red Wing Republican, edited by
!sJens Grondahl, and owned in part by
| Tams Bixby, came out to-day for Bob
Dunn. Mr.. Grondahl has had no time
for the Van SAINT administrations and was
expected to locate in the Dunn camp.
| Thomas Lowry, who has returned from
the east, says the New York opposition
ITO. President Roosevelt has been greatly
J exaggerated. He does not look for any
opposition in the convention, and takes
mo stock in the stories of Senator Han
\ mas designs. The stories of republican
I disaffection. Mr.. Lowry believes, can be
/ traced back to democratic sources.

THE VIBRATIONS OF FISH

There is nothing more curious than the
appearance and disappearance Of psrticu-
lar varieties of fish in certa in waters. The
fisherfolk of Breton are suffering serious
ly because the pichard suddenly left the
west coast Of France. Now, it is an
nounced according to the testimony of
fishermen, that the shark has returned to
European waters. In the Baltic, where
sharks had been extinct since 1859, they
have made their temperance in consid-
cradle numbers, and several fishing boats
report having whole draughts of fish de-
voured from the nets. which were broken,
in the Belt and the Cattegat. A fisher
man who fell overheard narrowly escaped
with his life. Shoals Of sharks. some Of
them Of large size. have been seen off the
German coast, and they are even reported
as becoming far from rare m the Nortf
sea- Their presence Is attributed to their
pursuit of the herring shoals on the west
coast Of Norway.

Van SAINTS Prophecy.

Governor Van SAINT is a riverman,
and he is loyal to the Mississippi.
He predicted in his speech yesterday
before the State Agricultural society
that as a result Of the construction
of the isthmian canal the Mississippi
will be revolutionized," and that in
the future the great trade movements
will be north and south instead OF
east and west.
Going somewhat into detail, the
governor predicted that the time is
coming when the Mississippi valley
will export it's products via New Or
leans and when great steel steamers
will be constructed and barges of the
same material built and loaded right
here with Minneapolis flour. It will
be carried down the river and put IN
vessels at the mouth Of the Miss1s-
sippi for Hong Kong, Liverpool and
Rio de Janeiro. This is by no means
an idle dream; it is the logic OF the
situation"
Railroad men jeer at such pred1c-
tons, and point to the small traffic
the great river bears to-day as com
pared with what it once bore. But
history is little more than a success
sion of changes in commerce and poll
tics. The old way passed, the present
way may not last. The tendency fol
two generations has been to ignore
the Mississippi, because trade lines raj
east and west. Once a great trade II
| bulky commodities is established
along north and south lines, the Mis-
sissippi will be utilized on grant
| scale just as surely as the Great Lake
are to-day for the traffic along line
| of latitude.
1t requires two or three trans
continental railroads to make up a
big an aggregate of traffic as tina
annually water-borne thru the So
canal When the Mississippi vale
has 5OOOO,O0O people the processio
of vessels up and down the river ma
be as continuous as at the 500 to-day

NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD
An Attack on the Riddle of the Universe
from an Astronomical Stand Point
Alfred Russell WalIace's Book, "Man's
Place In the Universe

- : & + 8 i - "
The riddle Of the universe keeps thrust
ing itself before men with an increasing
insistence which would seem almost to in
dictate an impatience to be solved. And
every statement Of the riddle is met by a
thousand minds ready and eager to at
tack the problem from some angle or other,
perhaps not with the hope Of discovering
the answer, but, at least, with the hope
Of helping a little in the right direction
From no source has the question come
with more force than from the starry
armament, and from no source has
seemed to come such overwhelming proof
of mans insignificance and utter little
ness. 1t is something of a daring propo-
sition, therefore, for one to go to that
very armament for evidence to show that
man is the supreme creation of the uni
verse and has for his home the most ia
vored spot therein. Yet that is just what
Alfred Russell Wallace has done in his

The Beef Trust Again.

At the convention of the National
Live Stock association in Portland,
Ore, yesterday, John w. Stringer
dwelt on the fact that, with the prices
Of meat high and, Notwithstanding
large degree Of prosperity many
Woodworking, honest stockmen have
lost their fortunes within the last
year. MI. Stringer's conclusion that
packers are getting all the profit in
the meat business is not far from
right. If present conditions continue
long, it will be surprising indeed If
the cattle-raisers do not form great
cooperative establishments to slaugh-
ter and dress their own cattle.
Similar enterprises are successful
in Denmark, and there is no reason
why they would not be successful here.
The product Of such associations
would have little trouble in getting
control of the market as against the
nroducts of the beef trust. 1t ought
to be possible for the cattleraisers
and others in the livestock industry
to raise by cooperation sufficient
capital to start large packing-houses
and to meet any tactics the trust
might resort to. The public has
learned enough Of the ways Of the
beef trust in recent years to be in a
mood to make business Of patron
izing opposition, especially If that OPP
position Is afforded by the stockmen
themselves, who have suffered even
more from the operations Of the trusts
than the general public.

Increasing Commercial Conservatism

Bradstreet's record of business fail
ures in 1903 shows that they num-
bered 9,76s. being a decrease of 2
per cent from the record of 1902, and
per cent from that of 1901 while
they are the smallest reported for
sixteen years, with the exception OF
1889. the increase over that year be-
ling IA per cent. 81.
The proportion of those in business
failing in 1903 was seventy-slx one
hundredths of 1 per cent, which Is
the smallest percentage recorded in
twenty-five years. The liabilities,
s154,277,O93, were 45 per cent larger
count of suspensions Of financial in
situations and large industrial estab-
lishments during the squeeze and
heavy liquidation incident to over
capitalization for speculative get-rich-
quick purposes thru industrial stocks
Bradstreets figures are interesting
as disclosing the soundness of the
general business situation of this
country last year, when the Wal
street game with inflated industrial
stocks received a big jolt and specu.
lators in inflated securities came tt
grief. Since the collapse Of the stee
trust boom, bonuses Of common stocl
have not the attraction they hat
awhile ago. The practice of buying
up plants for an industrial combine
and paying for the value Of bust
ness in preferred stock and giving thu
seller an equal amount of common
stock to put rainbow aspect on thu
transac tion is not near so alluring a.
formerly.
It is especially gratifying to know
how securely the vast majority of per
sons in regular commercial enter
prses kept their heads level during
the speculative industrial debauch o
recent years. The abstention of Amer
team business men in such large mum
Sbers from irrational investments i
iaasubstantial securities is a mos
hopeful promise for the steady, con
'servative conduct of business in tn
future.

d Mr.. Hepburn OF Iowa broke out in a

protests against the suggestion before the

argument. We have consolidated our cleo

Automobiles and Carriages.

One of the American consuls in
France has been making inquiries to
ascertain whether in the home land
Of the automobile the vogue Of the
horseless vehicle is having an injuri-
Gus effect on carriage manufacturing.
Automobile authorities, as well as
carriage makers, agree that it has not.
There has been little or no decrease in
the demand for carriages, and the
bodies of automobiles are largely
manufactured by carriage makers.
When the manufact ure of automobiles
first began it was impossible to get
the large carriage makers to provide
the bodies. Many Of their workmen,
however, perceiving the opening, es-
tablished factories for the manufac-
ture Of automobile bodies. Their sue
cess was great, and before long the
carriage makers embarked In the
business themselves.
| We suppose that conditions in this
country are much the same. While
our carriage makers express some
alarm for the future Of their business
owing to the Introduction Of the auto
mobile, they say that they have not vet
suffered much. It would naturally be
thought that carriage makers would

The Private CRATER.

The flood Of talk about grating
sometime since brought out something
about grating in private business. It
was remarked that bribery was quite
as common in private as in public
business. Enough was said to show
that the political CRATER is not SO
very far removed from the CONNER
cial CRATER.
The president Of a large corpora
ton says in most interesting article
in the World to-day on "Grafting in
Private Business" that he is con-
WINGED that so far as the federal gov
eminent is concerned it is much more
honestly conducted than large private
businesses, especially those conducted
by corporations. Graft in private
business consists in the individual en-
ploye taking for himself something
that belongs to the employer or else
injuring his employers business by a
dishonest promotion of his private in
terests. The travelling man or sell
ing agent Of one corporation will
bride the buyer of another to pur-
chase his houses goods. OF course,
where the buyer is himself the pro-
prtetor Of one business, and the seller
the proprietor, Of another, there Is no
field for the operation of private graft.
But modern business is conducted on
such large scale and SO largely by
means Of corporations that the own
ers of many businesses, the stock
holders, never have anything to do
directly with their affairs. Sometimes
even presidents and managers of cor
porations are found among the graft
ers. A few thousands more or less in
the profits of a big house or establish
ment mean nothing to these officials
but a few thousands more or less ir
their pockets mean much.l
If the prevalence of graft in pri
vate business is anywhere near so ex
tensive as this corporation presiden
says it is, even our worst municipal
governments will compare favorabl.
with it, and our federal and STATE
governments become paragons of in
tegrity.
Perhaps we haven't commenced t.
reform in the right place.
