The American National Live Stock
association, of which Ora Haley Of his
city and AL. Bowie of Chugwater are

Call for Convention.
"Our convention at this time carries
with 1t more than passing Importance.
This country has suddenly had a dis
astrous experience in its financial cen.
tiers that has destroyed values and 50
shattered public confidence as to cause
the currency to almost disappear. Ov'
er~-speculation, reckless inanciering
and wasteful extravaganza are among
the main causes for this crisis. Stock
where but a month ago fair profits
were promised, and they are now being
forced to accept greatly reduced prices
for their live stock to possibly Offset
losses and money shortages of the
'frenzied financiers' of some large owe
capitalized corporations, that, on short
time money, have undertaken to cap
ture and control every market, avenue
of transportation and territory.
Forest Reserves and Grazing Lands.
"At the convention the policy of the
national administration regarding con-
servation of natural resources will be
given much consideration. This, in
connection with the inland waterways,
covers a field OF immense Importance
to stockmen, for wrapped up in it are
ministration, forest reserves and graz
ing lands. This association is on rec
ord in favor of these policies, which
can be expressed in three words-cam.

ties will be present at the meeting to
discuss these vital questions.
President Roosevelt has said that
the administration of public lands SO
az to prevent waste of our natural re.
sources is the greatest question now
before the American people, and in
his recent speech at Keokuk, Iowa, ne
expressed the desire to hear from those
actually interested in the following
words:
What President Says.

from California state that am effort
is being made by the California sea-
men to secure state training ship
for San Francisco. The naval train
ing station for boys at Goat island
fails to meet the requirements OF the
merchant service, according to most
captains, as the boys are trained for
naval work, which practically units
them for the merchant service.
In the American merchant marine
to-day there are comparatively few
American sailorsa Most Of the seamen
are recruited from English, German
and French sailing ships that come to
the American ports. BY reason OF the
large wages paid in American ships,
and especially in the coasting trade,
the men are able TO make from two TO-
three times as much as in the ships
of their own nationality.
Among sailors the American ships
are known as supplying the best food,
while the English ships are commonly
known as hungry limejuicers."
Another point advanced in favor OF
the school ship is that IT would have
tendency to Increase the number Of
American sailors and officers.

state That "steamer Made seamen"
Lack in Nautical knowledge
and Are Not Equipped
az OFFICERS.

Seattle, Wash-With the passing |
of the sailing vessel, which is giving
place to the modern fast steamer, the
old-time sailor is becoming merely
memery. The change Is more notice-
able in the officers Of vessels than IN
the sailors. Many Of the old captains,
however, deplofe the undermining OF
the sailor and officer. The modern
sailor is little more than steVedore,
while the mates are scarcely more
than chief stevedores, according 70
many of the old-time shippers. This
has been brought about by the short
runs of the coasting vessels and the
fact that the mates chief duty Is TO
superintend the loading and unloading
of cargo. On the short coasting runs
navigation is done almost entirely by
what is known as dead reckoning.
This is accomplished by the log, the
compass and local knowledge Of the
waters. The ships are seldom out OIL
sight Of land and the earlier knowl-
edge of navigation gained by the Off
GERS before they apply for their papers
| is, in many cases, practically forgpx-
ten. The handling Of cargo becomes
the chief work of the officers, with the
exception of the captain, and even ne
seldom makes use of his knowledge o.
navigation, aside from that of ceaC
reckoning.
In the old school OF ships one OF th'
first things the officer was taught wa'
seamanship; secondly, navigation, an'
at the present day some of the mos
successful captains are those who &C
quired their knowledge in the old-tim
vessels.
/ Seamanship is so seldom used i
the modern vessels that it is locke
upon more as a hindranee than a
aid. The training Of cadets on man
of the larger steamships makes stean
ship officers of them, and they ente
upon their officers duties with only
book knowledge Of steamanship
sailing vessels.
The state training ship, aceordin
to the old salts, gives youthful aspi
; ants to sea life practical know
edge of seamanship, and for this re-
son most Of the old sailors are stanc
advocates of nautical school f'
boys. The plan has been worked o.
successfully in the east, and repor

paris.-The consumption Of beer IN
France has increased by more tnan
40 per cent. during the last five years.
In 1906 it reached the imposing to1ai
Of 317, 100000 gallons.
II does not appear that the Increased
use of beer has diminished in the
slightest degree the consumption Of
wine and cider. But Consul Mason IS
quoted as saying that, as the consump'
tion OF beer increases, that Of alcohol
especially in the perilous form OF aD'
sinthe. is slowly but steadily decreas
ing.
The statistics Of 1904 show that
during that year the amount Of ap'
sinthe sold for drinking purposes IT.
France fell off more than 10000 gal
ions. or 2.S per cent. This is not
a sweeping or conclusive reform, put
