More Land Frauds.

Washington, Sept. 80. - Secretary
Hitchcock intimates that the next al
legged land conspiracy case to reach the
federal government probably will be
that of w. N. Jones, a big lumberman
of Portland. Ore, following the cases
against Representative Binger Her
mann, ex-commissioner of the general
land Office, who was convicted in Ore
gon and also in the District of Colum-
bia.
I'VE have a lot of cases in Idaho,' 81
said Mr.. Hitchcock. ~ have reason
to believe that the extent Of this offend
ing has been very great and we intend
to follow the investigation, nc matter
where it strikes.
"Some men in official positions who
have been convicted complain that
their salaries are too low and try to ex.
cuse themselves on that ground. II
official salaries r too low they ought
to be increased. 1t is more honorable
to increase official salaries htan to try
to make up the deficit by crime"

HOW TO sELL o
Instance In Which Salesman Made q

Instance In which Salesman Made a
$4,000 Sale by Being Alert.
In the Worlds Work Is a story Of
good craftsmanship. The writer says:
At all times the travelling salesman
should be quick to see the unexpected
opportunity-and it might be added
that often such al opportunity Is
brought to light by the impression
made upon the customer by a genuine
leader" Once a bright young
salesman went into the office Of a
Memphis merchant to sell him a bill
Of carbons for his arc lights. He was
conscious of having a distinct advan-
tage in a carbon that he could sell al
$11, for which his competitors wera
obliged to get $16.5O. You can't sell
that carbon for Sill, can your in.
quired the merchant. Yes, sir; there
Is no mistake about it," quietly an
swered the young man. IF you feel
any question about it just let me send
you what you need, and If they are not
all right In every particular you have
only to notify me and / will come here
personally and ship them back to the
house."
well, on that understanding" re-
piled the merchant, you may ship me
5000.
This time 1t was the salesman's turn
to be astonished, for this was a sensa-
tional quantity for a merchant to buy
for his W use.
May / ask" inquired the young
man, "how you are going to use SO
manyT
Certainly" answered the mer-
chant, drawing a set of contracts from
a pigeon hole of his desk; here are
the contracts for a $4,000 lighting
plant that l am going to put in across
the street"
"Signed them7" inquired the young
man.
No, but I'm going to tonight" an.
swered the merchant, for I've thrash
ed the details of this thing wei until
I'm sick and tired of them"
Now" responded the salesman,
1--WE demonstrated to you that 1 can
beat those people all to pieces on the
price Of carbons, and I give you my
word that l can do the same thing on
the plant that you propose to put in.
Put of the signing Of that contract
until tomorrow night, get on the train
with me and go to our plant in Chi
cago and I will show you that l can
save you money on equipment"
The merchant finally agreed, with
the result that the salesman who saw
this opportunity sold the merchant o

CACTUS FOR CATTLE
4 Kind that Is Found In Hawaii
Which Ii SpineIess.

4 Kind that IL Found In Hawaii
Which ID SpineIess.
The announcement that Luther Bur
bank, Of Santa Rosa, has developed or
was developing q spineless cactus,
which, II spread throughout the arid
regions Of the Southern United States,
would add greatly to the value of
stock food and render the fear and
damage Of drought in those Southern
cattle regions needless, has led to some
remarkable results in Hawaii, says the
New York Tribune.
The announcement recalled to some
of the older inhabitants the fact that
In their boyhood a spineless cactus
was found In these islands. Strangely
enough, however, and %curiously con-
firming Luther Burbank's opinion Of
its value as a cattle food, the speci.
mems discovered always grew where
they were protected from cattle. Not
a single cactus was found where the
wandering herds had access to 1t.
When n of these plants was brought
to the cattle, however, they ate it, even
to the roots.
The spineless cactus was thus shown
to be a cattle food, and further exper-
iments have proved still more fully
the same fact. The result has been
that several c%attlemen, especially those
owning grazing lands subject to
droughts, have planted thousands OF
cuttings from these spineless cactus
for the purpose of providing forage
and drink for their cattle In time OF
extreme drought, for it must be re.
membered that the cactus stores mois.
ture and Is a source of water for cat.
tie, as well as food. In all cases, how.
ever, these paintings have been pro.
tected from the depredations Of cattle
by fences, and are expected to be used
only In times of extreme drought.
Cattlemen in these lands are famil-
lar with the fact that when driven to
1t by hunger and thirst cattle will
browse on even the prickly cactus, the
gigantic prickly pear, which grows in
these islands. The younger growth OF
the cactus. though just as prickly al
the older, is not SO harsh, and the cat
tie are able to eat 1t, though theil
tongues, threats and the walls of thell
stomachs oon become filed with the
prickles. These seem to do them nc
particular damage, except in occasion.
al instances, though they must be 9
source Of more or less irritation.
Samples of the spineless cactu.
found there have been sent to Mr.. Bur
bank, with all the information abouI
1t obtainable. He has replied that this
Is probably a species which is founG
In Africa and has been brought Their,
at some time. 1t has a longer auG
thinner leaf, so-called, then the prickly
cactus and is less juicy and nourish
ing. Mr.. Burbank says that the spine
less cactus he is developing will b.
the more %succulent variety, affordins
much more valuable cattle food thar
any Of the spineless varieties which
have been found in various parts O.
the world.
The demand for cuttings of tn,

 {" We want simple rules. not compli- cated rules, because complicated rules offer too many loopboles.

WISHES IT GOOD LUCK
SENATOR MORGAN TALKS OF PAN-
 ANA CANAL.
Alabama Man Declares Tint He is In Favor of Voting All the Money Necessary to Complete
 Waterway.
By R. H. Watkins.

Ny H- II. Wutkfm1s =
 Washington, Nov. 20.--(Special. )-l that President Roosevelt may want to push the canal ahead as fast as pos sible and the faster he pushes it the better will I be pleased. But at the same time, If he goes so fast that he butts his head against stone wall, l do not want to be responsible for that. ,"
 Thus spoke Senator Morgan today when asked in relation to his attitude on the question of providing money for the Panama Canal. He did not care to make any comment of the question of a choice of plans for the canal, the con- sulting engineers having decided Tn fa- vor of a. sea level canal. It Is well un- derstood that the Commissions recom- mendation Is to come before Congress for It's approval. as the money formerly appropriated was with the understand ing that the canal was to be built with locks.
 General Morgan said that until he sees the recommendations and the reas- ons that led them to decide upon sea level canal, he could not make any conn ments on their action.
 The Senator at the last session of Congress said he did not propose to take any obstructive course in retard- ing the building of the canal The Panama Canal was determined upon in face of his opposition, but while Con- gress finally gave its verdict In favor of that project. he merely wished the project well, although he was without faith In the feasibility of the plans that had been adopted.
 He announced then and again today that he favors backing up the President in his efforts to build the canal at Panama.
 It is well known that Senator Morgan does not believe that a sea level canal Is practicable to build, and he does not believe that local look canal at Pan- anna would prove practicable to main tain
