magnificent The trees hadn't suffered
at all from the axe during their entire
growth, although the civilization there
is of the oldest. We went through the
Caucasus by pass which used to be
the principal road between Europe and
Asia. The scenery here is magnificent
The mountains are higher than those
of the Swiss Alps and the glaciers are
of about the same size as those OF
| Switzerland.
mt. Elbruz is the highest peak. eigh-
teen thousand and two or three hun
dred feet, with a double summit, which
was loaded with ice. It is glorious
feature of the landscape. Even the
lesser mountains of the range are high
er than Mt. Blanc. We went back to
Moscow across the Trans Siberian rail-
road into the forests of the Urals, which
are not very we'll known. Manchuria
has fine forests as has Siberia. Man
churia is far richer in species than
either of the forests in. the Caucasus
or any other part of Russia. Man
churia has rich land, and is fertile and
beautiful. 1t is just the place for farm
ers and there is room for many set
tiers. Many species of trees make up
the forests, but they are not extremely
heavy and in many places the forests
are rather open. I have never seen
more beautiful valleys for farmers in
any country whatever.
From Vladivostok we went down
through Korea, calling at four or five
places We then went on to Shanghai,
Hongkong, Singapore and India. From
Calcutta we went up into the Deodar
mountains and I had a good view of
the highest point of the Himalayas. We
also visited Egypt, going up the Nile
valley and seeing the great improve
ments the British have made there.
They have truly made the desert bios
som like a rose.
From Ceylon / went to Australia.
Mr.. Sargent left me at Shanghai. I
made a tour through three-fourths OF
Australia. studying the flora and geol-
ogy of the country, with special ref
erence to the glacial period. In the
New Zealand country the flora is we'll
defined and it would take years to tell
all that is there. I then returned to
Manila, and visited Manila, and now
and now I am going home,
for I have a years correspondence
waiting for me-
Mr. Muir while here was a guest at
Oahu College. Last evening few
friends were invited to hear a talk by
the famous geologist, and he enter
.ained the guests for hours, recounting
some of his experiences.

James Mcneil whistler was extrava-

throat trouble, it's owner had the audac-

got partial revenge by charging a big
fee. He still further got even" the
next day by sending for Whistler to

dissenting from the decision of the
majority in refusing a writ of habeas
corpus to Charles H. Mover, President
Of the Western Federation of Mines,
when he was held as a military prie-
oner at Telluride by oder of Governor
Peabody. The opinion, containing
nearly 10000 words deals exhaustively
with the situation created in this state
by military rule and cites a mas Of

Stature can suspend the writ of habeas
corpus.
Justice Steele says in part:

part of the state than it has been the
past year The meetings are more fire.
quent and the keen interest manifested
has resulted in making il social and
intellectual center in the community
1t goes hand in hand with the church
in fostering good morals, and the state
in making good citizens. 1t overcomes
the isolation of country life and supple
mebts the work of the public schools.
Farmers are taught to transact business
in a businesslIke way, and TO defend
their interests at the polls and 90 advo-
cate them before political conventions
and state and national legislatures.
They acquire clear estimate OF their
Just share OF the wealth they produce,
and OF the public burdens they should
bear, and not be content with injustice
on either hand. Thus il seeks To make
the farmer prosperous, intelligent, inde-
pendent and conservative citizens.
