The inevitable suboriination Of the
executive power and the relative inferiority
of the Senate or upper chamber To the
Chamber OF Deputies did not appear at
the outset as the distinctive traits Of the
Constitution Of 1875. They were hidden for
a while by the assertions Of the principal
actors. The supporters OF the septennate
1seven year term for the Executive) cried
30 loudly that the "~Septennial Republic"
was a @ort Of semi-monarchy that they
ended bv believing il themselves. The
personal situation Of Marshal MacMahon
and the origin Of his power explain the
illusions entertained by various political
parties a. to the real role of the President.
Certain antiquities in the Interpretation
OF the text Of the act Of 1878 kept up the
Misunderstanding. Those very ambigui-
ties provoked the violent shocks which
caused the Constitution itself to reel on it's
basis. The crisis of May 10. 1877. was caused
by diverse constructions Of the Presidential
power.
II was settled in October. 1877. when
the Republicans beat the Reactionists at the
ballot box and thus brought to an end the
crisis Of May 10 Of that year. that in the
Third French Republic the chambers
would govern and that the Executive
would exercise very restricted powers.
Evidently the key Of the whole structure
was 10 be the Cabinet" the Ministry
responsible to the Chamber of Deputies.
How are the functions OF "A Cabinet dis

or during the course OF the sitting he

Pansies in March.

Pansies in March! Why who
ever heard of such a thing? Yet
it is true. The Sun office was in
receipt of box of them Saturday
direct from the flower garden of
Mrs. Q. M. Scribner, out on the
Lake creek ranch. Last fall, when
the flowers had ceased blooming,
she had the beds carefully covered
against the coming SHOWS. When
she went out to examine them a
few days ago she discovered that
they were blossoming right along
under their winter coat of straw.
Ordinarily they would not have
put forth a petal until in the
latter part of April. The flowers
are unusually large and very ten
der, yet very wildly colored.

Tie Boom at Kidding Ranch

The Carbon Timber Company
recently entered into to a five
years lease with Mrs. d. A. Rid.
ding for the use of the slough, or
branch of the river which runs
through her place. The comp
any now has a force of men at
that place building a boom with
which to catch the ties when they
come down in the spring and hold
them until they are wanted at Ft.
Steele. 1t is the intention of the
company to abandon the booms at
the mouth of the small creeks and
to allow the ties to float immed-
lately out into the river, where
they will be caught, either in the
boom at the Kidding ranch, or in
the one just above town in what
is known as the caldwell slough"
No more attempts will be made to
drive the river during food water,
as too many ties get stranded on
the banks, necessitating a great
deal of extra work.

resident of Castle Cornell, County
Limmerick, Ireland and died in
the room in which she was born
at the ripe age of 81 years, having,
retained the perfect use of all her
faculties down to the very hour of
her death, Mr.. Hassett was plan
ming a visit to her within a few
months but the tie has been bro
ken which bound him to the old
country and the trip will not be

Col. Cyrus K. Holiday

l notice in a biographical
sketch of VIM. b. Allison, pub
lished in the magazine section of
the Sunday Post, oe March 10th,
that his roommate at Meadville
was one Cyrus X. Holiday, and
that the two boys had to cook
their own meals, make their own
bed and do their own general
homework.
No further mention is made of
Mr.. Cyrus K. Holiday, but having
been personally acquainted with
the gentleman the writer is able
to state, that so far as the public
good is concerned, Col. Holiday is
undoubtedly entitled to as much
credit as is Mr.. Allison. Mr.. Hol-
liday founded the city of Topeka,
the capital of Kansas, and was al
SO the founder and original pro-
motor of the Santa Fe Rail Road.
While he is unquestionably out
ranked by Mr.. Allison in a politi-
cal way, as an originator and pro
moter of schemes for the develop
ment of the country, without rea-
LIKING any %pecuniary benefit for
himself, he will rank with any
man of whom We have any know
ledge.

having no opportunity for com.

buying, many people are duped
When you are in the city ask
some n to take you to one OF
these catalogue houses to make
a purchase. | did that trick once
and my friend looked at me aston
ished and unkindly remarked,
fare there many such suckers as
you, where you live? Nobody
here ever goes there to trade"
When one of these catalogues
come from a mail order house, ex-
anime it carefully and see what
a wonderful book it is. Wonder
full for what it doesn't contain as
well as for what it does. Where
in do they offer to pay cash or
exchange goods for your wheat,
oats, hay, butter and eggs,
.
as does your home INGREDIENT.
How much do they pay for cattle
and sheep f. o. b. at your railroad
point. How much tax will they
pay to support your school and
educate your children. On what
page in their book do they offer to
contribute money to your church?
What line of credit will they ex-
tend to you when you are out of a
Jobr When your crops are poor
and money gone. TRY trading
at home and note the difference,
There will be a market for every.
thing you have to sell, and at bet
ter prices. There will be more
demand for your service at a high
er salary. You will have more
money in your pockets.
Mark you, this catalogue buy
ing is not confined to one class of
people alone, but merchants,
clerks, ranchmen and laborers are
alike guilty. L heard a story not
long ago about a fellow selling
bibles. He went into one home
and asked have you a bible?"
The lady did not understand him ,
but one of the children spoke up
and said "oh 'es l know where it

Carbon Timber Company.

The Carbon Timber Company
have purchased from Capt. l.. G
Davis the two ranches bought by
him of Willard Caldwell and j. B
Maghee recently. This purchase
was made by the company in
order to get control of a branch of
the river which flows around by
the hills on the east side Of the
river, and is known as the cad
we'll Slough" They will put a
boom in the slough just above the
Hot Springs property and fill the
slough with ties in the spring,
holding them there until tl.ey
are wanted at the boom at Fort
Steele, when they will be foated
OH down.
The company have also entered
into a satisfactory lease with
Judge kuykendall for the right to
use so much of the above slough
as runs through his lands, thus
getting control of the entire
slough, which is two miles in
length.

In Justice Court.

Judge Winsor held a short ses-
sion of court Monday in which he
placed a fine of SO and trim
mings on one William Powers for
chasing Mrs. Winsor on the east
side last Saturday. 1t appears
that Mrs. Winsor had been down
to the electric light plant with her
husband and was returning home
alone about dark, when she espied
a drunken man making toward
her. She ran as fast as she could
with the man after her. but he
was too drunk to make much
Roadway. Mrs. Winsor ran into
the residence of }. F. Simonson
for safety. The man had fallen
down several times or he would
probably have given her an unple-
SAINT scare.
Powers claimed that he remem-
bered nothing of what took place
and admitted that he was too
drunk to know what he was doing.
He is now in the cooler, rejecting
over the situation and will remain
there until his fine expires, hav-
ing no money with which to pay
it.

Free Timber

The Government during the
past year has furnished $75, 600
worth of timber to settlers and
ranchers in or near the reserves,
without charge. One of the reg
~ulations of the Forest Service pro-
vides that legitimate applicants
may secure what timber they need
by what is conveniently called the
free use" privilege. Fifteen
thousand permIttees in this way
obtained timber to supply their
wants.
From these figures it may read
lily be seen that the settlers are
securing very material assistance
without cost from the forest re-
serves. At the same, the free-use
business has been 80 handled that
the material taken out has i'm
proved the condition of of the
forest. Dead timber which would
otherwise have rotted or helped
to spread forest fires has been re-
moved first of all. Where it was
necessary for the settlers to have
green wood the rangers, so far as
possible, marked trees which we're
suppressed, diseased, or from
some other cause no longer in a
condition for further growth. In
this way the ranchers secured ma
terial which they desired, and at
the same time the forest was left
stocked with the thriftiest trees,
whose chance to develop will be
unhindered.
The greatest amount of free use
was on those reserves which lie in
the semiarid parts of the West,
where there is least timber. On
a number of reserves the value of
the material for which permits
were issued exceeded $1,000, and
on the Wenahe Reserve in Wash.
ington and Oregon, the Bear Riv-
er Reserve in Utah and Idaho,
and the Weiser and Henrys Lake
reserves in Idaho it exceeded 81
900. If there had been no re-
striction on the settlers in secur-
ing this material, great waste
would have resulted, because the
settlers would have paid no atten-
ton to the future good of the for
est or it's value as a protective
covering. Another distinct ad-
vantage of the system is that a
settler, when he has secured his
permit, is sure of being able to
get the material from the locality
assigned to him without interior
ence from other people. r ~
Very little change in the handl-
ing of the free use business is con-
templated for the next year. The
experience of the past year has
shown, however, that methods can
be ystematised 30 as to give yet
better service to the people and
be more economical to the Forest
Service.
This branch of the work of the
Forest Service gives good evil
dence of the fact that the aim in
the administration of the forest
reserves is to aid in the perma-
nent development of the country
and place only such restrictions
on the cutting of timber as are
necessary for the maintenance of
a permanent timber supply and
the conservation of water needed
for irrigation, for cities, and for
the generation of power.
The free-us privilege has been
granted freely to ranchers who
are building up homes, and
enough timber will be reserved
to supply their wants even if this
will considerably reduce the
