outside dependency OF the nation.
That the commercial interests Of tho
east, II not its statesmen, are alive to
the desirability of promoting theisettle-
ment and internal improvement Of the
west, Is shown by the very comprehen-
sive action taken recently by the Ma
tional Board of Trade in Washington,
q powerful association. composed OF
representatives from most of the great
commercial bodies Of the United States.
The organization represents . combined
capital of billions Of dollars employing
several hundred thousand workers; Il
has been q strong factor In urging
legislation on various important In
ternal works; 1t was the hrst Of the
great commercial bodies of the East
to advocate the passage Of the national
irrigation law and it has q regular
standing committee on forestry and
irrigation.
The report of the organization this
year is most interesting and reads ~
follows -
It is gratifying to note that much
Of the legislation on Forestry and Ir.
igation matters which has been con.
nstently urged by the National Board
Of Trade has been enacted into law.
The National Board was the first or
ganization representing the CONNER
cial interest of the whole country to re-
commend q national irrigation policy
and June II. 1902 q National Irri-
cation law was enacted. There Is In
the Irrigation Fund at the present
time about $30.0O0,000 which is In
creasing from the sale Of public lands
at the rate of at least, 100000 .
year.
In the matter of Forestry legislation
the National Board of Trade recon-
mended the passage Of the bill pro-
viding for the consolidation Of the
various forestry branches Of tho
Government into the Bureau OF Fores-
try Of the Department of Agriculture.
This bill was enacted into law at the
last session Of Congress.
The National Board Of Trade has
stood against the practice Of exchang-
ing worthless "scrip" land In the
national forest reserves for valuable
public lands outside Of the reserves
and has repeate dly recommended the
repeal of the law permitting this prac-
tice. This law was repealed at the last
session Of Congress.
At the last meeting of the National
Board, opposition was expressed to
what was known as the $40 Acre Home
stead bills-increasing the homestead
entry in parts Of South Dakota, Colo
RADIO and in Montana from 100 acres to
$40 acres; these bills were all defeated
at the last session Of Congress.
Much, however, remains to be done.
The National Board of Trade has con-
sistently. advocated the saving Of the
great public domain for the use Of the
real homemaker as against the land
and timber grabber and the speculator.
Trade and commerce will increase a
population increases, and our National
land policy should be administered to
preserve our remaining half billion
acres Of public lands for those who wiil
build homes upon them. As laws which
tend to overcome this policy the Ma
tional Board has continuously, since
its meeting in January, 1902. urged the
repeal of the Timber and Stone Act.

zone Of the greatest difficulties in
arr" remarked q critic, " is to get ones
facts right, and for this you have to
go not to art, but to the people who
understand the things represented.
Il received my first lesson in this
direction when, as youth, l painted
a coast scene with ship in the fore
ground. 1t was highly praised by all
who saw it, with the exception Of an
old seaman, who, when he examined
the rigging, politely turned aside to
conceal his amusement. No ship, he
explained, could possibly have gone to
sea with the ropes and tackle arranged
as in my picture. So had to humble
myself to learn to draw reeving-
blocks, shrouds, yards, and other por-
tions of ships rigging as they really
are.
But it is not always possible to be
true to fact.
Take, for instance. typical picture
which represents a herd Of self-deny-
ing cattle grazing in meadow where
the herbage is of the scantiest, while
near at hand are unprotected fields OF
grain into which they could walk at
will. Why did not the painter include
In his picture the fences which ac-
tually surrounded the corn fields!
Simply because they would have spoilt
the composition, and consequently
reality had to be sacrificed to the de-
mands of art"

Doings In New York.

The wife of Wall street millionaire,
whose name in New York is almost a
household word, as the police declare,
unwittingly furnished the password to
a magnifcently furnished poolroom for
fashionable women at an uptown ad-
dress the other day and the place was
raided by the police. In it were twenty
women, whose finely appointed equip
ages awaited them in the street.
The appeals of the women, members
of some of New York's wealthiest fami-
lies. when the detectives and officers
gained entrance to the drawing room
and revealed themselves, formed a
thrilling tableau. Several women went
on their knees to the detectives. They
offered their rings, watches-anything
they possessed-rather than face the ex.
posurc of arrest or even the chance OF
their identities becoming known.
One woman clasped the detective
sergeant by the knees as she knelt,
pleading for her liberty. Another tore
her rings from her fingers, and offered
them ali to him, saying: "1f my name
is known there will be murder or sui.
eide in my home, for my husband will
either kill me or I shall kill myself"
