CANNON IS OPTOMISTIC
SPEAKER SAYS NATION IS CROW
 ING BETTER.
Uncle Joe Discusses Present Condition of Country to Newspaper Men as He Called on Prest-
 dent Roosevelt.

Washington, Dec l26.-Speaker Can non was one of the callers at the Whtle House today. He desired simply to pay his Christmas greetings to the Presi- dent. but was obliged to defer them as the President had gone to the country for a long horseback ride. The Speak- CT was tn excellent spirits and talked with his newspaper friends in a char acteristic way.
 They say things are not like they were in the old days: that we are ne- coming aristocrats; that there IS no longer honesty in legislative bodies: that there is no ability at the bar' that we are liable to become monarcny; that some strong man is l'apie 10 rise up and dominate everybody.
 Put say that there Is no fair minded man who studies the history or this country from the days of its foun- dation down to the present time anu who deduces the difference between s.000.000 of the people and S0,00o,ooo who consider the telegraph, the tele- phone and the railroads; who will not say that we are markedly better phys icallv. mentally and morally. than our gra ardfathers or even our fathers"
 '"Then you believe the House of Rep resentatives is just as representative as it was in years gone byT'
 "Yes; yes, indeed" the Speaker re- piled.
 ''The House is just as representative a body now as 1t was when this coun- try had only 10,0o0.000 of people. If you listen to all that Is said. you might believe the country Is fast going to the devil is fast becoming a monarchy and will cease to be a republic. do not hesitate to say that this country Is bet ter today than 1t ever was in It's his- tory: that the people are more honest, more moral and less disposed to yield to temptations that are put in front of honest men at every turn.
 "The people are just as mighty now in the matter of elections as ever be- fore and just as discriminating as to whether a man has done his duty. No man ever gets so big that he cannot easily he wiped off the political map.
 And how quickly the people do it, too They settle man so quickly that he is soon forgotten. I venture the prediction that few of the best read men in the country could sit down to- day and give offhand the names of 100 men who have helped to make his tory in the House of Representatives. The others were defeated and forgot ten and that was the end of it. There was William J. Brown, who put through the House the appropriation of $30,0O0 to build the first telegraph line between Washington and Baltimore. He did the world an immense service, yet at the next election afterward he received hardly enough votes to count. The op- position put up a man who ridiculed the idea of sending messages by Tight ming and he beat Brown thousands of votes. So 1t is today. although the mans services now are not so easily condemned"

Many of These Much Travelled Little
 Fellows are Surprisingly Tame. St. Nicholas.
 It is surprising that there are birds which come to us only in the winter, leaving us again at the beginning Of spring for Northern lands and snow banked hillsides. where the long day and pale twilight nights of the Arctic reign. Birds that raise their broods In the far, treeless Northland, where heather, grasses and stunted alders grow on a shallow. soaking soil. un- derlaid by great depth of eternal ice, at the approach of winter gather into great rowing flocks to surge southwarth to the gentler climate of our blizzardly Temperature" winters! Yet all young country folks have seen these restless, wandering flocks of winter lovers and occasionally even in the towns and cities there arrive un- familiar companies of fat, fluffy birds, busily opening the cones of the frs and spruces, or devouring the buds of the naples.
 Many of the much travelled little fellows are wonderfully tame, and seem not to experience fear of man so universal with animals that rear their young in his neighborhood. Pine grossbeaks and crossbills. whose real homes are In the silent moss-fi filled spruce forests of the great North. will almost allow themselves to be caught in your hand. With the field rowing kinds and longspurs, this fearlessness Is not found, probably from the con- stant lookout they are forced to keep against ..le cunning and hungry white foxes and the daring trap-jawed lit- tie ermine that persistently hunt them in their northland home. But the rosy little redpolls, the creepers, king lets, little friend chikadee," as the Northarn Indians call him and all the other deep forest dwellers, are as un- afraid of us as they are of the gentle porcupines and deer of their home wOodS

Former Charges Latter With Carrying Concealed Weapon.
 The Todd Garner controversy, over which George Todd. a weIl-kro own citi- zen, was arrested tw ice by The police Monday on charges of disorderly con- duct and assault and battery. prefer red by W. H. Garner, yesterday devel- oped a new phase when Garner was arrested by Mounted Patrolmen Smith and LaPrade at 1O:20 A. M on a war rant sworn out by Todd charging Gar ner with carrying a concealed pistol.
 It will he remembered that both men had a business disagreement in tho store of Mr. Todd Monday morning. Garner complained to the police and had Todd arrested on a charge of dis orderly conduct The latter was dis charged by the Recorder Monday after noon but immediately after the trial the trouble was renewed on Madison Avenue. Garner then swore out an- other warrant charging Food with as- sault and battery.
 Todd claims that Garner drew q pis- tol on him in the latter difficulty and he therefore charges a violation of Section 1928 of the City Code.
 The cases were continued by the Re- corder until this afternoon.

His Efforts to Bring Help to Master
 Caught In Snow Storm.
 HayforlS Correspondence Sacramento
 Bee
 William vienas has probably per- ished in the snow between Hyampom and this plac That conclusion was reached yesterday, when J. w. Lattt- mer arrived here, coming by way of Peanut. and was disappointed in not finding vienas in town.
 Vienas and Lattimer were working in the copper mine. near Hyampom. 1t was oh November 29 that Vienas left the mines, expecting to go through to miles. in one day. He did not even take along bite of food. and his faith full dog Accompanied him. Lattimer re- mained alone In camp
 Five days later the dog came back to camp in a half starved condition, making great demonstrations before Lattimer, who could neither under stand its strange actions nor induce it to partake of food. The dog re- mained in camp about an hour. and struck out over the mountains toward Hayfork. arriving here the same day. The faithful animal again tried to make his troubles known, but no one could understand the message the dumb creature had to convey. The dog whined and refused to be comforted, although 1t did finally partake of food.
 When Lattimer arrived here yester- day and did not find vienas the mean ing of the dogs strange actions was understood. Lattimer is sure that Vienas perished in the storm that sprang up at midday on November 29. and that the dog kept faithful vigil over his masters body for i've days, when hunger or instinct, or both, i'm pelied 1t to return. first to Hyampom and then to Hayfork, for succor for Vienas.
 Searching parties left this morning. They will hunt through Indian Valley and over the mountain trail. hoping to find some trace of the missing man. dead or alive. Four feet of snow fen on the summit that Vienas Is supposed to have crossed.
