Mr. Roosevelt admitted, just before he
left Washington, that the recent session
of Congress had gotten on his nerves.
and he feels he ID entitled to long
rest, something he has not had in more
than four years. There is no disposi-
tion in any quarter to deny this is the
Presidents due.
The suggestion is made, however, that
more than likely Mr.. Roosevelt also
"got on the nerves" Of Congress, He
certainly gave the Capitol Hill statesmen
q busy winter and kept them pretty well
in state of guessing from December
until July. Yet the members of Con-

WHITMAN rs OPTIMISTIC.
Grain Ripening Fast and Big Prepara-
tions for Harvest.

C0LFAX, Wash, July 9.-0n account
of the hot weather for the past few
days the harvest season viii open in
the western part Of Whitman county
next week. Haying is now being pushed
so as to get it out of the way Of the
wheat harvest. Grain is ripening very
fast, in fact, too fast to make the best
quality of grain, but as the weather is
cooler today there is spirit Of optimism
prevalent among the farmers.
There is already great demand for
farm laborers and a prospect for dearth
of the same this summer by reason Of
the great demand for railroad hands ~
well as for farm labOrers. Horses will
be scarcer yet than men. as all that
could be purchased have been taken by
the railroad contractors, thus leaving
shortage that win be very hard TO
supply.

WAW0NA, July 9.--The lone high
wayman who held up five Yosemite
stages and private rig on Saturday Is
not yet captured. The sheriffs of tSo
counties are on a hunt for the daring
bandit. No arrests have been made. The
sheriffs found the trail Sunday morning
and followed the robbers tracks toward
Grub Gulch several miles, but there the
country became rocky and almost impas-
sible and the trail was lost. The officers
called on a suspect, ranchman. near
whose place the trail was lost, but de-
clared themselves convinced that he was
not the man who held up the stages.
The officers found $50 which the rohber
had overlooked in the express box and
$3.50 which the tourists had thrown into
the brush.
Sheriff Prouty Of Mariposa county
stated that while suspicion pointed to-
ward certain man, he admitted the
officers have no clue to work upon.

that he has been taken to Wawona for

A stranger standing in one Of the rail-
road stations might well have believed

plague, from which its inhabitants were

On the American continent there Il
no other city like Washington in this
respect. Possibly there is none like it
in the world. From busy, bustling
capital, 1t becomes almost ina night, to
all outward appearances, like sleepy
country town.
Government Machinery Grinds.
Yet Washington Is not so dead as 1t
would seem. It is true the Capitol no
longer resounds with the noise Of the

closed, and its inmates gone; the hotel
corridors are deserted and seem lonely
places. Yet the wheels Of Uncle Sans

to revolve. The department clerks are
still with us, and viii be here. Even
the heads Of the departments are not
yet at liberty to follow their chief out Of
the heated city.
The fact is that the recent session Of
Congress enormously increased the work
Of the executive departments. Several
Of the departments win be compelled to
enter upon almost reorganization be-
cause Of the enactments Of Congress.
Especially heavy is the work which the
Department Of Agriculture is compelled
to do. The meat inspection law and
the pure food law are the responsible
measures in this instance. Under each
law the organization of large inspec-
tion force will be required, and to put
these vast machines into successful
operation viii keep Secretary Wilson
and his assistants busy until the snow
flies, In the Department of Commerce
and Labor there also Is a good deal Of
to be accomplished, and
Secretary Metcalf has postponed his va.
cation until an indefinite day.
Taft Must Get Busy.
Nor will there be much doing in the
vacation line for Secretary Taft, The
final decision by Congress on the type Of
Panama canal to be constructed removed
the last excuse for delay in that UNDER
taking, and the country expects that
from now on the canal work will be
pushed as it never has been pushed be-
