of public works OF Chicago.
The elder Mr. Patterson and his
son were at the Holland House In
this city today and both expressed
decided opinions upon the subject
The father declared II To be his be-
lief that socialism is one of the
widest ianaticisms of the age"
He added that the real reason his
son gave up his municipal office was
because he had been asked to do
things for which he could have been
indicted and for which he should
have been Indicted had he done them
While he did not at all agree with
his sons theories. Mr.. Patterson said

My son came in contact with prac-

THE MANILA OBSERVATORY
Declared One of the Best Equipped in
the World.

Father r. E. Brown, assistant to Father
Algue. who is IN charge of the observatory
in Manila, arrived at San Francisco. Mon
day. on the liner China on his way to Eng
land.
The Manila observatory is one of the best
equipped in the world. The seismograph
there made a splendid record of the Cali
fornia earthquake of April 1S
Three times day. said Father Brown, q
Geographic report is received at the Manila
observatory from zap, Guam and the fifty
eight other stations scattered throughout
the provinces. With this information 1t is
possible to detect the brewing of typhoon
five days before 1t develops. When the in
struments at Manila or elsewhere tell of
the approaching storm warnings are sent
by wire to numerous points on the Chinese
and japanese coasts and to Formosa
The trolley cars ruined our magnetic
observatory" said Father Brown. I'VE
have daily records. however, for fifteen
years past and that for our purpose
constitutes complete cycle. we can make
estimates by the aid of that data with fair
accuracy.

Seized Two Colombian aunboats.

Two chiefs of the San Bias Indians--John
Davis of Rio Mono and Onalipilele of
Playon Chico-arrived at Panama Monday
from their country and called on President
Amador. They reported that on last Mon
day the captains of two English sloops an
chored off the Isle of Pines on the coast
Of the San Bias country. had been taken
prisoners by the Colombian gunboat Carta-
gena. Following this. the commander OF
the gunboat had conference with Mana
guina, an Indian chief. who, since the In
dependence OF the republic, has given the
Panama authorities much trouble Upon
leaving, the commander OF the gunboat
told Managuina he would return to the
coast next week. These movements on the
part of Colombia cannot be fathomed at
Panama, and have created much interested
Document.
A cablegram received al the State De-
partment from Gov. Magoon at Panama
confirms. in measure, the report that
Colombian warship had seized the captains
of two British schooners at point on the
Colombian coast. The governor says
however, that the commander of the Car
thagena, the Colombian ship, upon dis
covering that the men were British SUBJ
1ects, immediately released them. Further
trouble II not expected.

BRAZIL LOWERS DUTIES.
New Tariff Designed to Promote Trade
With This Country.

Secretary Roots proposed visit to South
America has begun to bear fruit. Brazil
has just announced a new tariff, which re-
duces the duty on -four and many other
American exports 20 per cent and is de-
signed to promote the development of COM
mercial interchange between this country
and Brazil.
Condensed milk, rubber seals, watches
varnishes. typewriters, pianos, ice boxes
scales, windmills and inks Except writing
inks) are other articles on which the 90 per
cent reduction in tariff is granted. But
-four is the most important commodity IN
the list, and the duties on breadstuffs have
long been the subject of dispute between
Brazil and the United States.
Failure to reduce the duty on flour almost
caused a breach OF the relations between
the two countries many years ago, and be-
cause of the expectation of large quantities
of -four to Brazil the change in duty favor
able to this country is of great impor-
tance.

CHECKING THE LAND DUNES.
Forest Planting in the semi-Arid
Region

Region.
Retaining the barren sand hills Of the
middle west with forest cover, to supply
timber when there Is a dearth OF It, Is one
of the more striking of the important forest
planting projects of the forest service. Four
Of the national forests have been estab-
ished In the non-agrcultural region with
the express purpose of getting a firm grip
on methods which will overcome natural
difficulties and set up object lessons for the
benefit of the people. These are the Mo
brara, the Dismal river and the North
Platte reserves in Nebraska and the Garden
City reserve in Kansas. The Nebraska re-
serves have responded so well to careful
treatment that hundreds of thousands of
seedlings have been planted out and mil
lions more are being raised In nurseries for
use in other reserves. Thus, for the first
planting on the Garden City reserve, just
completed, most of the trees were taken
from the nurseries in the Dismal River re-
serve.
The Kansas reserve lies In a region of
scattered, barren sand hills, interlaced with
prairie on which grass thrives we'll enough
to support live stock. The origin of these
bills. in itself interesting reminds one In
a way of that Of the sand dunes which
encroached from the sea upon the fertile
fields of western France and laid them
waste. In both cases the wind has been
the enemy of the soil, for in France wind
drove the sand of the seashore inland. and
in the middle-western region of our coun-
try wind drove eastward the sand which
the Arkansas river had carried down in
foods and afterward exposed to dry The
sand hills were formed long ago, and the
action of the wind is now largely checked
by the spread of the carpet of grass, which
binds the sand weherevr there Is enough
moisture TO encourage 1t.
The semi-arid conditions of the region
necessarily restrict the selection of trees.
Right choice of species. the crux of forest
planting generally. Is here especially de-
cisive BY its aid together with right
planting methods and right care of the
plantation, treeless region. one therefore
In which wood is scarce and a highly
valuable commodity, can be made to pro-
duce useful woods, and at cost so slight
as to satisfy good business judgment Thus
on u light, sandy surface, whose only cover
is wild grass and weeds, a merchantable
forest crop is to be grown. In addition
to the general demand for wood. there will
be special demand In connection with the
Garden City irrigation project, which is
within few miles of the Garden City re-
serve.
