Clarence Lowe, OF Morrisville, N. r.,

longed attacks Of appendicitis. The last
attack came on about three weeks ago
Making no permanent improvement,
the attending physicians decided that an
operation would be necessary to save
the patients life, and few days ago
the appendix was removed. The sur

severed appendix contained what close

Commissioner Richards. who will be

one Of the best equipped men in the
country to deal with questions relating

land laws. AS surveyor general of the
land Office for Wyoming and as state sur
veyor and land officer both in Wyoming.
Colorado and California, as governor OF
Wyoming and as assistant commissioner
and finally commissioner of the general
land office, his experience Is such that
he cannot but be one of the most val

Mr.. F. H. Newell, the second member
of the commission. has given many years
to the study and development OF the r.
rigation problem, and has been partieu-
larly interested In the development and
cultivation of the vast tracts Of arid
lands in the western country. His
familiarity with the conditions as they
exist and Of the land laws Is unques-

makes him an aid of more than or
binary value to his associates on the
board.
Prof. Pinchot, chief of the bureau OF
forestry of the department OF agricul-

valuable aid to the officers OF the land
office in the settlement of questions aris-

it necessary to seek exit from Colombia
by the back door, or down the Orinoco,
because the ports and main Travelled
roads were in control OF his enemies.
Thus 1t CHANGED that the revolt which
sent him upon his wanderings was the
most profitable to the world that the
land OF revolutions has ever produced
He travelled 25 600 miles, and almost
every step was through regions hither-
to unknown to the pioneer of any race
or civilization.
Having begun Journey to save his
life, Reyes, the lust OF the explorer and
adventurer aroused in him, continued
on and Tn, and science and trade have
him TO thank for the result. A canoe
rip down the Orinoco was followed by
journey on foot along the banks Of the
Yapura. He and his companions pro-
ceeded through entirely unknown re-
gions, for the greater part uninhabited
even by Indians, and at last reached the
great Amazon, where, building canoe,
he fioated down to Para and the Allan
tic. Only a few months elapsed after
the completion of this trip before firm
of English ship owners awaited them
selves OF Reyes discoveries by placing
line OF steamers along the route. A
trade sprung up that has developed into
one of the best-paying industries on the
continent.
The chief explorers brother, Enrique
Reyes, died OF fever, and the remaining
brother, Nestor, was killed and eaten by
cannibals near the headwaters OF the
Parana. The last OF the party, his
nephew, Felipe Calderon, fell by poi
soned arrow from an unseen hand just
as they were upon the point OF reaching
the frontiers OF civilization again.
Such sacrifices, however, were not
made in vain, for Reyes proved what
had never been suspected before, that
South America from IS degrees south to
ten degrees north of the equator is sup

system imaginable.
His work accomplished and the veil

FIELD BEANS.
Crop Well Liked by Farmers.

The field bean acreage throughout
leading districts of northern and mid
die western states appears 10 be up TO
tie average this season, and in some
localities substantial increases are
noted. Prices received for beans the
past several months have generally
been satisfactory TO growers, and to
this fact is largely attributed the favor
in which the crop is held by farmers.
