Report Pope Approves Has
Aroused Interest in
Rome.

Rome. June 16.-The report that
Pope Plus has consented TO authorize
a search for the tomb of st. Peter. the
apostle of Christ and the first pope, has
excited the interest of all Rome
The tomb of ST. Peter is supposed to
be contained in the vaults under the
altar of the original basilica built BY
Emperor Constantine in A. ID. 800. In
1850 Pope Nicholas V. demolished the
church built by Constantine, prepara-
tory to erecting "a new church. The
tomb of ST. Peter. however, was left
undisturbed
Begun ia 1905.
The building of the present St. Pc
ters church was begun in 1906 by Pope
julius IT,. who laid the corner stone
In 1914 Leo y. employed Raphael to
superintend the building, and Paul Ill,
who ascended the papal throne in 1884,
intrusted the work to Michael Angelo.
Throughout the construction of the
new church no effort was made to dis
turb the tomb of st. Peter, but in 1894
the pavement of tie crypt collapsed
and Pope Clement VII. taking advan-
tage of the accident, inspected the
tomb of St. Peter The pavement was
restored and since that day no eye has
rested on the burial place of the first
pontiff of the Roman Catholic church.

MI. Mcleod was invited last March
by the u. G. z. transportation commit
tee that visited the Western Passenger
association at: Chicago, to come to the
grand council and present the railroad
side Of the two-cent rate problem. His
speech was largely statistical and his
torical, but was elaborate, eloquent and
intently listened to by the vast audi
ence. H.
It was a mastery argument from the
rail roads viewpoint as to why two
cent flat rate should not prevail.
w H1le the CraVel1ng men could not ap-
p1aud the sentiment, nor sympathize
with the argument, they could, and all
did, admire the speaker, and the many
| handshakes he received from the hun
dreds who were glad to meet him must
have evidenced to him that the travel
ing men voted him a royal good fellow.
Governor Johnson's speech was the
event Of the day. His talk was along
the line Of good citizenship. He went
into bygone days and spoke lovingly of
the old travelling man, Of the pioneer
salesman, comparing him to the mis-
sionarY, the commercial missionary,
who thru the heat of summer or the
frozen blasts Of winter, Faithfully
drove over the treeless and blizzard
swept prairie, long before the scream
Of engine or roll Of cars had broken the
eternal stiffness of the northland. What
a man he wasl What hero many
times he was! What newsbearer he
was when newspapers were few! What
an optimtst he ever was! Never a
pessimist, but always saw nothing but
the silver lining on every cloud: how
he cheered the hardy pioneer with song
and story; how he encouraged and as
sisted him in his struggling business,
What advice he gave him in buying and
showed him how to sell what he had
bought. : -
+ The pioneer salesman, the governor
said, was becoming a thing of the past.
