Hubbard had been suggested as good
men to take Mr.. Mellen's place on the
program. AS yet they have not been
communicated with.

Department Makes New
Ruling in Favor Of
HOmeSteaderS

1t is now possible for homesteaders
to enter land included within perma-
nent or temporary forest reserves An
act for that purpose was passed at the
last congress and was approved by the
president, June II, 1906. The land to
be withdrawn must be shown to be
valuable chiefly for it's agricultural
purposes, and the secretary on exam
ming it must decide that it may be
occupied for agricultural purposes
without injury to the forest reserve.
Chief Forester Pinchot has issued a
bulletin on the subject of these with
drawals which was approved by the
secretary. June %, 1906, and which
has just been received by the local
land office. Following are among the
main points concerning the withdraw
ing of lands:
l. Only lands chiefly valuable for ag-
riculture and not needed for admins
or for some other public use will be
classified and listed under the act.

BEN TILLMAN.

James Creelman, writing in Pear
sons Magazine for June, gives the fol
lowing pen sketch of Senator Tillman
of South Carolina:
He is tall, deep in the chest,
sinewy, loose-limbed and awkward
There is not a more formidable figure
TO be found in America. The coun-
tenance is singularly coarse. The
brow is wide but not high. 1t over
hangs a dead eyesocket and a single
living brown eye. The nose is large,
long and feshy. 1t is the nose of a
born commander of men. The cheeks,
which once were fiat, are now pudgy.
The Jaws are heavy and have a terri
fc grip. The mouth is thick-lipped
and has a brutal suggestiveness. The
chin is wide and square, the chin of a
desperate. The neck is thick and mus
cular. But the head is almost Napole-
onic in its strength and symmetry,
and it is ordinarily carried high, with
an air of defiance. The face makes
one think of piracy cannibalism. 1t
is the splendid outline of the head that
explains and redeems it. Not that
there is any trace of cunning or
treachery in the countenance; yet it
is beyond comparison as an example
of savage masculinity. Still that
fierce brown eye can soften compass
sionately and can twinkle with sun
niest humor; and those terrible lips
can quote Greek and Latin and talk
Of flowers and poets and children. For
the face is but a mark to hide very
honest, very human man, who entered
the Senate at the head of a fiery
farmers revolution, mOb-leader ours
ing all things conservative-to grow
into a national legislator whose intel
ligence, industry and rough integrity
have won the respect, if not the love,
of most of his most fastidious antog-
onists in the Senate"
