Ger Land and Lake in the Canadian Woods Being Account of Canoe Trip in the Beautiful Muskoka
 Country of Ontario.


thought does not worry me, for there is the broken underbrush where my guide and the canoe have gone through, and I can follow that. So it is that I run onto an adventure. loiter by the way enjoying especially is while wandering about through a patch of them that I run across com pany in the shape of a black bruin who has been enjoying a morning nap after breakfast of fruit. l am not aware of his presence until he rises ou his hind legs directly in front of me. and so near that l can almost touch him. You, whose only acquaintance with bears has been with those behind the caged bars of circus or the park zoo, cannot realize how big bear can be when you come face to face with him in his native haunts. l cross the portage to Crane lake in record time think not of following Bills trail, but only of putting as much distance between that bear and myself as my legs will permit-and the bear is try ing to do the same thing in the op- posite direction.
 Bill, in his quaint way, laughs my fears away to some extent, as we push across Crane lake toward Black stone. A trolling line picks up a fair sized husky on the way over, and 1t is not so fortunate as was the pickerel in Six Mile. for I land him after a stubborn fight. Then for an hour the steady dip, dip of Bills paddle tells of progress across the lake. As we near the opposite shore I prepare to alight on land again while Bill shoulders the canoe for carry" But such is not the programme A command rom him causes me to duck my head be- meath the boughs of an overhanging tree and our canoe shoots into a seeth- ing mass of foam, down a sharp in cline, and we are afloat on the placid waters of Blackstone. Over at our right sparkling spring bubbles from the ground. and here we stop for our monday lunch and to await the com ing of Short Bill and Yorker.

 With a dsfi twist of the wrist Bill lays the canoe alongside the shore and Ve have crossed Six Mile.

Scheme on Foot to Land Cycling Title
 For Fenn.

Floyd Mcfarland and Willie Tenn have formed a combination and will team it this season with the vowed intention of making Fenn the Ameri- can cycle champion. This ambition the boy wonder has been nourishing for long time and he believes his de- sire will be realized. Last year Fem teamed with Kramer. but had falling out with the champion, and Mcfarland has broken with Lawson after a two years partnership. Mac and Fenn will appear as team mates for the first time next Saturday night at the meet at the Nailsburg Board Track, and as Kramer will also be there a hot time is anticipated. There will be a Dig list of riders on hand to contest in the two professional and three amateur events.

JOHNSON WHIPS TWO.

Jack Johnson. the negro heavy weight of California. had a chance to demonstrate his fistic prowess at Phis- adelphia on Thursday night. when he met two men in one ring. Johnson met Morris Harris and Black Bill. both colored. for three rounds each. taking them on one after the other. Johnson stopped Harris in one round and al- lowed Black Bill to remain three rounds. Johnson could have finished Black Bill just as easily as he did liar ris. but thought that he would give the spectators a run for their money Johnson is how matched to box sandy erguSon in a fifteen round bout at the Douglas A.

saw the contest and. according to the reports. the Ithaca eight completely outclassed it's rivals. Charles Court ney, the noted oarsman who coached the crew. also produced the varsity eights that won the races in 1901, 1902 and 1903, while the Syracuse eight, coached by Ten Eyck, took the event last year Courtney has always alvo- cated the low stroke in rowing, espe- cially in long races, and is a great stickler for form. Knights of the oar may be interested in what he says in this connection Everyone knows that there is a fundamental law of rowing. The crew that is trained to carry out the elementary principles in tho smoothest and most effective way will win. There is no Courtney stroke, no 'Hanlan' stroke. no Ten Eyck stroke, no anybody's stroke. do not believe ID a crews rowing faster than 90 strokes to the minute. if as high. By rowing a low stroke in as perfect form as pos sible. the men. think. can get a great deal more power than in a high one. and in consequence can travel down the river smoother and faster than an- other crew which is rowing a much higher stroke. Just for a moment con slider the difference in actual wear and tear on the men. Take a crew that is rowing 2s to the minute and one that is averaging 34 In a fOur-mile race this means that one crew takes about I20 strokes more than the other. In the strain and light Of a four-mils pull these additional strokes are going to count Then again a crew rowing low stroke can obviously TOW in better form than one which is yanking it's way along Form counts tremendously in actual results. or al least think it does" And. according to the crews he has turned out from Cornell in the past. there seems 10 be considerable truth in his theories

Senator Burton's Case.

The news OF Senator Burton's con.
viction at St. Louis In the second trial
Of his case was received 10 Abilene
not only with regret but with sur.
prise. 1t had been generally believed
that the first trial was to some extent
q forced conviction, the effect OF
prsjudiced court. and that on fair
and impartial hearing acquittal would
follow. While the published reports
20 to show that this trial was con-
Quoted with greater fairness than the
first, 1t was nevertheless marked by ?
desperation on the part Of the prose-
cutioD Sharpened by defeat twice DO
fore, once at the hands Of the supreme
court and once in the court Of trial.
The two attorneys who conducted the
governments case were the men who
when investigating the affairs Of the
Rialto company recommended that
noiraud order be issued against 1t as
IL was doing nothing illegal,
The chance Of a Kansas man to es.
cape conviction In St. Louis was ex.
ceedingly remote. Had Mr.. Burton
been boodler OF that city he would
have been acquitted promptly. As
one Of Kansas leading attorneys re-
marked two weeks ago: "Of course
he will be convicted In that court
but he will win the court Of appeals.
Nothing has been shown In the evil
dence Of two 6ercely fought prosecu-
tions to make the people Of Abilene
who have known Senator Burton for
20 years believe that he was actually
or Intentionally guilty OF wrong. He
was indiscreet perhaps, and he has
suffered % no man In Kansas public
life ever suffered. Yet he has never
lost his nerve nor has the smile left
his face, something that speaks Of his
own belief In his innocence. The case
will be appealed and, we believe, that
In the higher court he will win, but
by that time bis term will have nearly
expired. 10 that what the vigorous
pertinaCity Of the pursuit Of Burton
and the ignoring Of other senators
doing all and more than he has done
has meantP

An Instance in Point,

A striking instance Of the workings
Of q commission In which the mem
bers are both judge, jury and prose
cutors Is seen in the decision Of the
| United States court at Chicago this
week. The interstate commerce COM
mission sought to exercise this power
In this case, first by ruling order
ing the eighteen defendant railroads
to lower their rates on live stock to
conform with the rates on dressed
beef, and next BY an injunction, pro-
hlbiting them from refusing to obey
the ruling, After taking expert
testimony for several weeks and hear
ing evidence for two weeks more, the
court held that the ruling Of the COM
mission was erroneous and that that
body had no power to compel the
railroads to obey It's arbitrary rulings.
The Kansas City Journal points out
that had the commission had the
power to enforce this unjust ruling at
once, as the Esch- To wnsend bill con-
templAted. the result would have
been the same In the end, but there
would have been expensive and
tedious litigation, endless confusion
In rates throughout the west, and
disastrous, disturbance in business
which would have psrAlyzed the mar
kets Of the vast cattle raising region.
The railroads and the great ma
iority Of experienced shippers have
not objected to fair and intelligent
government regulation Of rates, but
the record Of the last eighteen years
has given them just cause to object
to lodging this vast power 10 the In
terstate commerce commission, or any |
other political body. During that
period the commission has often ruled |
odhand that certain rates were I'M
reasonable or diSCrimlnatlye, but
when the evidences was taken before |
court the commission has been sus-
tainsd only twice on the point that a
rate was dISOriminstivs, and not once
on the ground that . rate was I'M.
reasonable.
