Speculation as S to: the Opening Of

>N6Vl&otlVu. g !.
"Now you see it and now you DON'T
about expresses the gist ct speculation
as to opening of navigation. The pros.
poets appear to be based upon the move
ment of the great ice fields on Lake
Superior, which are moved back and
forth with the changes of the wind. The
heavy winds Of the past week did much,
however, towards breaking up these
fields and thereby frightening the
prospects OF an early boat along the
north shore. The Booth company's
boat, Bon Ami, is ready at Two Harbors
and is waiting the chance to get out.
AS to general conditions in marine
circles it is considered unlikely that
navigation will be in full swing before
the latter part Of April.
The Duluth Herald of last Saturday
says:
I'm the harbors of Lake Superior the
ice thickness ranges from twenty to
thirty five inches, and 1t would be al
most impossible to break it up for some
time yet. On all these ice fields. how
ever, there is good covering of snow,
and marine men say that this is one
promising sign, as the snow causes the
ice to become honeycombed much
quicker than would the sun or good
fall of rain:
"It has GOT been found profitable to
try to force the opening of navigation
with the lake steel freighter. This was
tried a couple Of years ago. and it cost
the vessel owners about $1,000,O0Q to
repair the boats.
ENGINEERS are at work on several of
the fleets, fitting them out, but some of
the vessel owners have not yet com.
menced this work on their boats. Little
chartering of boats has as yet been
done this season."
But this outlook may have been ma
terially changed by the action of the
strong wind early this week. So now
you don't see it and now you do.
Navigation will open-when 1t opens,

Eno,l.h Patent Medicines.

At the present time in Great Britain
there are no less than 100000 makers
or vendors of patent medicines. and
these patent medicines are computed
to supply a revenue of 1881 900 to the
state. The patent medicine dealer
reaps his harvest from so-called in
durable diseases. Consumption cures,
cancer cures, epilepsy cures, paralysis
cures, make up the large majority Of
patent medicines. =. - - -

The Man With the Whistle.

You hear it in the morning
When the stars are still-in sight,
You hear it often through the day :.
And sometimes late at night,
Its cadence through the atmosphere
In bubbles seems to ooze,
It gives the world healthy tinge
And drives away the blues.
No matter If the day is bright
Or murky clouds prevail,
He pipes away with all his might,
His, spirits never fail.
And should he chance to pound his
thumb
You'll seldom hear HIM "cuss,"
The puoker in bis lips delays
The swearing impetus.
The man who owns the whistle
IL not blessed with worldly wealth,
Yet every ripple tells tale
OF ruddy, robust health,
And better yet, spirit that
Mistortunes never down,
I'd rather own that whistle
Than house and lot in town.
There are men in every station
Whom tho world delights to know,
There's the man that runs the nation,
And the man that yields the hoe,
There's the man before the footlights,
And the man behind the gun,
But the man behind the whistle
Holds a mortaRe on the sun.

Affecting Issuance of Land
Patents.
A Washington special says: Presi-
de Mt Roosevelt today sent the following
letter to the secretary of the interior,
cancelling his order Of Feb. IL relating
to the issuance of evidence of title
under the public land laws:
my order of Feb. IL, 1907, relating to
the issusnce of evidence Of title under
the public land laws, Is hereby cancelled.
for the reason that congress did not ap-
propriate IN amount sufficient to en-
able the commissioner Of the general
land Office to properly carry out the
purposes Of the order, which we're to
have such examinations made of all ap-
plications for patent az would facilitate
the issuance OF title to bona fde settlers
and homeseekers, would reduce illegal
entries to q minimum, and bring the
work Of the land Office up to date. With
the amount actually appropriated it Is
not possible to carry out the order, or
to provide with certainty for the de-
lection of fraud without causing un-
reasonable hardship to bona fide settlers
and home makers.
I'm order to accomplish as much as
can be accomplished with our present
means IN preventing illegal acquisition
Of public lands, the commissioner OF the
general land Office will detail all his
available field and Office force in such
manner by ooncentratlon or otherwise,
AZ will as effectively as is possible with
the actual appropriation restrict fraud.

A Letter From Kansas.

STERLING, KAs., Feb. A, '07.-We
have had a beautiful winter so far,
only one snow as yet, but this
morning it is the coldest, the ther-
mometer showing one below zero.
Prospects are fine for big crop
this year. Wheat never looked
better and the acreage is large.
Last summer was good for my
trade. had all / could do at good
wages and the prospects are bright
for work next summer. | had
thought of coming back there this
winter to see the old friends once
more, but changed my mind and
went to Amorillo, Texas to see my
son, Alpha. l found him o. X.
and hard at work. They have q
fine trade. like that part OF Tex
as fine. They have a city there of
from 10000 to 10000 people.
see by the paper that some Of
my old friends are passing away
and others are marrying = but
such is life.
While was in Amorillo l had
the pleasure of meeting William
Kibbcs' son and also Clark White
sides son. They are both doing
well.
remember well when DR.. Cason
came to Montgomery and when he
first started in business, for went
there Oct. 20, 1865, and left there
Oct. 5, 1900. So time flies and
waits for no man.

The Peoples Lobby.

Washington is watching with
much interest the working out of a
distinctly new idea in public af-
fairs. This is the peoples Lobby,
a non-partisan organization de-
signed to foster a wider knowledge
of national legislation, and to in
dorse OF oppose such bills as af.
feet the general welfare of the peo-
pie.
The basic idea is that, if the peo-
pie knew the facts on legislative
matters, public opinion will find
such wide expression that it can
not be disregarded. Channels of
publicity are not lacking. The
Peoples Lobby has the support of
a large number of leading news
papers and of such publications as
"Success, ""Collier q" and "Ridg-
way's".
An important branch of the work
of the organization is the careful
complying of the public record of
every senator and representative.
The people have right to know
from an unprejudiced source, what
their Legislators are doing. The
influences brought to bear on mem
bers of congress will also be ex-
amined into; this mears a history
of the "third House''-the secret
lobbyists, who are so successful
in influencing legislation for the
henefit of the especial interests
which employ them.
The plan seems broad enough
and practical enough to augur
great public good if intelligently
carried into effect. The personnel
of the Governing Committee and
of the men in charge of the bureau
in Washington would seem to
promise this result, and the will
, lingness of the people to indorse
the project and to support it with
their subscriptions is a'.' ste,' oy
! hundreds of commune, .ons re-
ceived from every state in the
t Union and from Panama, Hawai-
and the Philippine Islands. En-.
thusiastic letters are still being
received daily, and the organiza.
|, tion continues to make it's appea
, for subscriptions for any amount
from ST upward.
