THEODORE SH0ATS
MAN SELECTED BY PRESIDENT
 TO HEAD CANAL WORK.
Another Western Man That Comes to the Fore-Brief Sketch of His Cereer-Triend of Chief
 Engineer.

Although President Roosevelt failed to get any of the ''$100, 900" men he had his eye on-Elihu Root. Henry Prick. Col. John Byrne-it is thought he is to be congratulated upon the final choice of, and acceptance by, MT. Theodore P. Shonts.
 MT. Shonts, of course. comes out cs the west, He was born ia RenpsK}yaniaa, but spent his boyhood xsH{S ii family moving from the east to Center vile, in that state. when he was small child of four years. He received his edu- cation at one of the numerous small col leges for which the west is noted; his school the college at Monmouth, Ill. An interesting coincidence is that John F. Wallace, chief engineer of the canal commission, was one of his school mates, and Wallace, at that time, pres- ident of the college.
 The two men that were boyhood friends to-day are close chums; address eSch other as Teddy and John. They look forward with pleasure to their as. sociation in the great work of building the isthmian canal; the man that is the chief engineer and the one that is chief executive.
 Mir. Wallace and MT. Shonts are of about the same age; the former is 5 and the latter 49 years old. Mir. Shonts is a rich man. not at all dependent on the salary ($25.O00) that accrues to him as head of the canal work. Since 1881 he has been active in railway matters, and . year ago became president of the To- ledo. Peoria & Western road. It is said that he was recommended for tie place by Paul Morton, who is personal friend and thoroughly acquainted with his work
 As many a man that later rose to honors, Mir. Shcnts engaged in school teaching in very carly life: and it Is re- membered that he was decided success as schoolmaster. Walter WelIinsn. writing in the Record Herald. thus speaks of his talent for organization: "Mr. Shonts' executive ability and power to manage became known when ne was boy or To. Al that carry age De taught district school in the farm re- gions of Iowa. and brought up the stand ard os the institution to . degree never before known. He has great faculties for getting at the bottom of things fin his quest for knowledge. and possesses innate power to organize. These quali- ties. his friends say, have brought him success"
 Criticism has been made that the pres ident has taken for work on the stu pendously important waterway an en- gineer who has had almost his whole ex- perience with railroads. very little with hydraulic work; and for administrator . man that has handled little else than . prairie railroad" Others declare the

CROW RE ESERVAT ION. TO BE OPENED FOR sLTTLEl6ENT
 THE COMING SUMMER. Land of Promise Thousands of Fsr- tile Acres and Wide Grazing
 Districts-Indians Long Been Friendly.

Gradually the Indian reservations come under settlement. This summer the Crow lands. in southern Montana, close to Wyoming, are to be opened up to settlers.
 Concerning the Crows country. Wash ington Irving spoke thus: The Crow country is in exactly the right place. It has snowy mountains and sunny plains; all kinds of climates, and good things for every season. When the summer heats scorch the prairies, you can draw up under the mountains, where the air is sweet and cool, the grass fresh and the bright streams come tumbling out of the snow banks. There you can hunt the elk, the deer and the antilope, when their skins are fit for dressing; there you will find plenty of bears and mountain sheep"
 To-day there is considerable more of an agricultural aspect than in the day

BEAR
Roosevelt Knocked Out MT.
 Bruin on the Trail.
KILLED GAME BEFORE MAKING CAMP
Usual Luck of Prcsident Holds Good In Col0Endo MOuntains-His Ride Good For Six Hundred Pounds
 0f "B'ar" Meat.

NEWCASTLE, Colo, April 1.-The president and his hunting party reach ed here on Saturday and are now in camp on the mountains.
 When the train pulled into the depot the president, dressed in his shooting clothes of heavy tan duck, greeted the people from the rear platform. He was cheered wildly. After a speech was made and conventionalities had been observed the president gave personal supervision to his hunting outfit. The horse selected for the president to ride to camp was white and is said to be one of the surest footed mountain climbers in Colorado, but it is not not ed for speed.
 Before starting the president an- nounced that he was not going to strug- gle hand to hand with grizzly bear or strangle any mountain lions with bare hands. He does not expect to bag a record breaking amount of game and will feel satisfied if he gets one bear during the whole hunt. His rapid fr- ing rife was exhibited with great pride as protection he will constantly keep between himself and danger.
 With his usual luck the president killed his first bear before he got to his cansp. When fifteen miles out from the hunting camp the dogs struck a bear trail, and the president insisted upon going after bruin.
 Within half an hour the dogs had overtaken the bear. The president dis mounted and. after waiting in order to avoid hitting the dogs, pumped several shots into the badly Jagged bear, kill ing him.
 It was cinnamon bear. weighing about 600 pounds Golf skinned the animal. and the party finally succeed ed in reaching camp about o'clock.
 A parade had been planned at New castle but it did not take place. It had been arranged to form procession. led by miners brass band. caged bear and the presidents party on horseback. This pageant was to pass through the village streets and into the hills, where the bear was to be turned loose and given start of thirty minutes.
 The State Humane society broke up the plans on sthe ground that the bear might return to the village and harm children, as it had been caged so long that it was vicious. After the humane society had interfered the captcrs of the bear tried to sell it to the presi. dents guides, but they said they would take their game wild, as domesticated animals had no attractions for the pres ident.
 A blizzard of the Rocky mountain type has hit the presidential camp and kept the president indoors, but the camp crowd is merry one, because of the lucky killing of the big cinnamon bear.
 The president will go after grizzly bears today if the blizzard abates. Should the storm continue he probably will remain in or near camp. Although the camp is sheltered by high walls on every side. the snow swirls about cabin and tents. blinding even the ex. perienced guides.

MUST ACT
Feel That Some
 thing Must Be Done
(Valdez News.)

While the News favors sn all Alas kan convention nothing must intervene to prevent a convention of the coast towns, if 1t is impossible for all of Alas ka to meet in joint convention. Some thing must be done this fall. Those who have declared themselves in favor of self.government are ready to do everything possible for us and it is i'm possible for them to propose measures in our interest unless we shall have met and determined exactly what are the imperative demands of the district
 Never before in the history Of Alaska has there been that general feeling that something must. be done. The people of Alaska are simply tired Of the present system. It is not American; 1t fails In every point; 1t is the subject Of endless discussion without avail. There is something better in the horizon and the people of Alaska know what 1t is. To defer demanding it this year is to endure the useless system of the pres eut for another year.
 Every citizen of the Alaska should read the history of the colonies from I75O to l7S3 and compare the situation then with that of today. That memor- able convention, composed of only 8 partial representation of all the colon- ies, which sat in secret session for 20 days and then came forth with the Dec laration of Rights, has place in his tory. We Alaskans have certain rights and the only way for us to get out of the mire is to declare them.
