Lincoln was always strong with n
jury. He knew how to handle men,
and he had Il direct way of going to the
heart of things. He had. moreover, I'M
usual powers of mental discipline. 1t
was after his return from congress,
when he had long been acknowledged
one of the foremost lawyers of the
state, that he made up his mind he
lacked the power of close and sustain
ed reasoning and set himself like a
schoolboy to study works of logic and
mathematics to remedy the defect. At
this time he committed to memory six
books of the propositions of Euclid,
and, as always, he was an eager reader
on many subjects. striving in this way
to make up for the lack of education
he had had as a boy. He was always
interested in mechanical principles and
their workings and in May, 1919, pat
ented a device for lifting vessels over
shoals, which had evidently been dor
mant in his mind since the days of his
early Mississippi river experiences.
The little model of a boat, whitfield out
with his W hand. that he sent to the
patent office when he filed his applica-
ton is still shown to visitors, though
the invention itself failed to bring
about any change in steamboat archi-
tecture.-Helen Nicolay in st. Nicholas.

VIII Reserves Hurt Growth Of
Mountain West :

The limitation by congress of
the power of the president to
withdraw public lands for forest
reserves was suggested at a
meeting Of the senate committee
on public lands, which had under
consideration a bill providing for
the repeal of the timber and
stone act. While the bill was
under discussion is was stated
that there seemed to be danger
of all the public lands being
withdrawn before the measure
could be enacted. This led to a
general debate, and the senti-
ment prevailed that the area of
forest reserves within certain
territory was becoming so great
as to endanger the growth of
states. AS a remedy it was pro-
posed to amend the bill for the
repeal of the timber. and stone
act so as to limit the amount of
Withdrawals within certain pre-
scribed areas for the purpose of
distributing the reserves over a
greater range.

0R0GRANDE'S FUTURE
New Zone Of High Values in Glory Hole Appears
to Be Permanent.

The recent rich strik of high
grade free milling ore in the
glory hole at the G. R. M. Co. S
property, while of great import
ance now and will be Of still
greater Importance later, does
not come at this time as an un-
mixed blessing to the manage
ment, necessitating as it does the
addition of a varied assortment
OF gold saving devices to the
equipment of a plant, wherein no
provision for such a contingency
was deemed necessary. How
ever, this crisis like all others
which have arisen during the
company's career has been
promptly met and cared for by
Manager Hogan.
The temporary system adopted
for saving the gold, consists of
riffled plates on either side of the
batteries, rifles in the conveyors
leading to the classifers, and
from the classifers to the distri-
butors, and also in the tail race,
and crude as it appears, tests
show that it is quite efficient in
saving the particles of gold which
resist the action Of the cyanide.
Owing to the non-soluble char
acter of the gold contained in the
recent strike it was at first
thought the finer crushing thus
made necessary would vurtail the
daily output materially. This the
management has over come by
utilizing the additional discharge
with which the mortars are
equipped, but which were not
needed in coarse crushing.
AS to the extraction of values
by solution, Mr.. Hogan declined
at this time to give out detailed
statement for publication. The
writer is, however, in a position
to say definitely that since Mr..
Hogan assumed the personal
supervisioc the balance is
on the right side of the ledger
by a handsome margin, in spite
of the fact. too, that the operat.
ing expenses are nearly double tC
what they would be ordinarily,
owing to the failure of the water
power, because primarily of two
dry seasons in Succession, anC
finally by the severe cold spell
which occurred before snow fall
which dried up the limited supply

In discussion in the senate a
few days ago over the question
of proper clerical assistance for
senators, an argument incident
ally arose in which the duty Of
senators to their constituents was
entered into by Senators Bailey,
Daniels, Lodge, Hepburn, Spoon
er, Bacon, and others. In the
course of the discussion Senator
Bailey made the following state
ment: "The government is
touching the people at so many.
different places, / regret to say
that the correspondence of
senator is to-day perhaps five
times what it was in the days to
which Senator Hale refers. The
truth of it is the correspondence
of a senator has become the bur-
den of Senator's life, and the
task of writing thirty or forty,
and sometimes fifty letters is an
almost daily one with US. Writ
ing those letters for thousand
years would not add a cubit to a
mans intellectual stature"
In reply to Senator Bailey's re-
marks, Senator Hepburn clearly
and forcibly set forth his views
on the question in the following
words: 1T has been stated here
that it would be desirable could
each senator be rid of what has
been termed the encumbrance Of
correspondence incident to his
position. / do not think that
that is just in the right spirit in
which to regard this question.
We are here to represent the
people and they are edtitled to
correspond with us, and they are
entitled to be answered. For

Philippine Tariff May Cause Split
In Republican Camp.

IN Republican Camp.
(From Northwest Press Association. |
In spite of everything thus ia, |
done by the republican leaders in |
congress, with the aid of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, to prevent a dis
cussion of the tariff question, il
appears inevitable that the issue
will be raised in a short time,
and it is expected by wise poll
ticians that tariff reform will be
the paramount issue in the next
campaign. Under the guise of
the PHILIPPINE tariff bill, the whole
tariff question has been agitated
for the last few days in the
house, despite the efforts of
Speaker Cannon to stifie it. The
Philippine tariff bill which pro-
vides for free trade with the
Philippine islands, in all articles
except tobacco and sugar, raised
in the islands, on which duty
of Is per cent is retained, or in
other words the duty is to be cut
to 25 per cent by this bill. This
bill is causing more trouble than
all other legislation before con-
gress, and in fact is the first
question on which the republicans
have split since the Cuban reci-
procity question was an issue.
Heretofore the members of the
house from the northwest have
been considered staunch supper
ters of every policy of the admin
istration, but the proposed re-
duction on sugar has caused those
"beet sugar" representatives to
rebel and they are now prepared
to join hands with anybody and
fight to the last ditch the bill,
which they believe, will destroy
the sugar industry of the north
west. The 'insurrection," as it
is called, has reached enormous
proportions, as about rs republi-
cans have expressed a determi-
nation to vote their sentiments
on this question despite the
wishes of the administration
For nearly week the question
of reducing the tariff on sugar
and tobacco from the Philippines
has been one Of consuming in
terest. Congressman French has
taken a stand against the reduc.
ton of the duty on sugar anC
has given the following as his
reasons. Its passage in my
judgment would not aid the
: Filipino, nor would it aid the
American consumer, as is mani
fest from our experience with
: similar legislation touching Cuba
On the other hand its passage
, would put a club into the hands
OF the great sugar and tobacco
: barons that would enable then
either to dictate terms to, or pu'
: out of existence the independent
producer within our own country
and the one to whom eventually
we must look for lower prices te
the consumer. Within the state
which l have the honor to repre-
2 sent, approximately five millions
: of dollars have been expended
: within the last few years, il
erecting factories and developing
| the beet sugar industry. A mar
! ket has been made for the pro
duct of thousands Of acres o.
} land, and a new vocation giveI
to our people. l do not believe
in a policy which will dismantle
our industry, retard our develop
ment, and for this loss give NJ
} commensurate benefit to the
. American consumer first of all
