perhaps, the brunette is in the major ity. But there are all types, and the blonde contributes to all this beauty that is seen as heartily as does her darker sister.
 Woman has shared with the police man the ridicule of comedians and par agraphers. Indeed, had no woman ever touched her face with paint, or twisted rat" in her hair, or made use of that which smooths wrinkle in expression or body, or pencilled an eyebrow; or were it not generally believed that each touch of the ruddy material con ceals the ravages of year, making woman young when she is older; the blatant comedian would have to leave the stage for want of laugh makers. And even were all of the above true and known, the comedian could not exist did not man laugh boisterously at his foolish banter, nor even smile when women are tauDted.
 According to the cynic again, wo- man dresses because she desires to be seen and praised. He smiles, thers- fore, when she grows infuriated that she is closely scrutinized when she walks the street. In fact, woman and | beauty have numerous enemies, and for centuries have been compelled to hear themselves laughed at and ridi- culed. In spite of all this however, her beauty Is none the less impaired, and what matters 1t, how it comes? It is more than a simple attraction. It serves to make the world happy and even good. Suppose there was none but the homely. What a monotonous existence! How the mind would grow ! tired and languid and indifferent How would grow stale and pass away that innate respect that everyone has for woman.
 Birmingham is proud of it's pretty women, even as it boasts of it's iron and steel and hustle and activity. it's

shoes, cruelty rebuking the smile that comes and is sent away. There is the beauty of every type, in every style in every surrounding, pressing on the heels of itself, pushing by without not ing the rivalry making a complete panorama of prettiness that astounds and attracts.
 Tn the ball room Birmingham is still beautiful in it's women. Here the beauty, forewarned, has come prepared for the rivalry that exists. The face is paled by exactly the proper caress of the powder puff, and the pencil that touched the brow was of just the proper shade. In the cheek, just enough artificial health is blooming to make the beauty dazzle. Crowded with such visions, the hall is an ideal scene of attractiveness, and spell bound by the enchantment, and made to dream that all is real by the alluring waltz music, one is loath to turn his head away to face duty again.
 
 In every walk it is the same. Women are pretty. And it is but natural that Birmingham, so happily abounding. should raise it's head proudly. saying: There is none more blessedl"
 Visitors say that Birmingham wo- men are exceptionally stylishly attired. Birmingham men are criticised for an apparent indifference as to their street garb.
 Madame Pinele, the French beauty doctor" known to fame, was amazed when on her visit to Birmingham last year she encountered so much dainti- ness and petite prettiness. She re- marked, too, at the precise style that prevailed, but what surprised her was that the women of Birmingham are beautiful.
 ''The very atmosphere is against the complexion" said she. "As for me, l have been unable to keep my hands

clean in Birmingham. Everything is so smoky The face becomes covered with little molecules of soot after an hour on the street. There are few pretty women in Pittsburg. Compared to the women of that city, Birming hams women are exceptionally beauti- full.
 Tt goes without saying, that the nat ural deduction is that Birmingham wo- men are more careful than those of Pittsburg To make an otherwise bad complexion beautiful, a great amount of care is necessary, and greater amount of work. I imagine that the massuers reap a rich harvest here" And the French woman shrugged her shoulders, which was as much uncalled for as it was natural with her race
 "On the contrary, Birmingham men are rather untidy. The natural sur roundings and conditions are against them, true, and the natural inaptitude of men to allow things appertaining to person only to interfere with their bus mess, or cause them loss of time, is the cause. I am impressed with the style that prevails, and the attractive ness of the women; am disappointed, therefore, that the men are so untidy, or careless. Or, rather, after seeing the men on the streets, and noting the peculiarities and their neglect, l was surprised and delighted when en- countered the women and found them so attractive"
 Visitors to Birmingham note that the brunette reigns. There are ten brown eyes to every one of blue. This Is at tributed to the fact that the climate is partial to the brunette; that she, in fact. is always considered the queen of lands of the south, where it is gener- ally spring, as in Italy and Spain. The south is high enough, too, to invite the lighter types predominating Germany France, and England. In Birmingham,

Cemetery of 4000 Dogs.

Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
 On the occasion of a lawsuit brought by q marble cutter some very interesting details have come out in Paris court concerning the dog cemetery founded on the He des Ravageurs, near Paris. in 1899.
 There are already 4oO0 graves in the cemetery. Some of them, leased for 8 long term. have cost as much as poo francs. The lowest price paid for any concession is five francs. and the expenses of the most discreet burial are 3 francs.
 Visitors to the cemetery pay 50 centimes an entrance fee. On one of the tomb stones they may read Homage to a Faithful Heart" and on another, Here Lies Black, Killed by Civilized Savage" The above victim. explains the keeper. died at the hands of an indignant con- eierge.
 Another marble slab mounted on cement rock contains the following: Neither name nor date; what matters it?" And again: Beneath these stones reside the material remains of that which during its life was my joy and my consolation."

flict over the open, clear face, neither detracting, but both, seeming to join forces, accentuating it's beauty. She wears a skirt of black or tan, and a waist of white, fluffy material, bor- dered by sailor collar, and a broad tie of blue. Is she not fetching crea- ture, a picture of daintiness, with her waving hair, and deep brown eyes, and cheeks that have known only the brush of health? Around her, standing on changing feet to keep off the bite of the wintry morning, are some dozen others, each as neatly attired and as attractive. From this glimpse, the first, one is prompted to admit that all the women are beautiful.
 At II o'clock see her who comes to shop" In smart suit she passes, her head erect, her carriage superb, show ing a style and grace that come with life of comfort, and pride the re- suit of fete and attention. She is of a thousand varying styles, with eyes of blue and brown and black, and gray. One must stand amazed, and say: "They are all beautiful in this big town of smoke and noise."
 At o'clock, mingle with the crowds from the matinee, the matinee girl in matinee attire. Over the shoulder of that stout individual a beauty glances artfully and disappears. Another, with deep blue eyes. and tint of fair ness that is superb, staring ahead. madly dashes away laughing, bouyant. full of life and happiness. Pass the merry maiden, with laughing brown eyes, and hear her recounting to a companion only those features which pleased and not annoyed.

1 toes over the highways, lowing with arching of the eyebrow; who has seen that laughing beauty peering over the shoulders of the matinee throng racing home for supper; who has seen that beauty on parade at the brilliant ball, elevating it's elbows for a touch of it's neighbours fingers, knows that young Birmingham is as beautiful in it's wo- men as is Richmond or Frankfort, or any of the cities of Tennessee or Mis- souri.
 The cynic's consolation to the home ly that beauty is no deeper than the skin, can carry with it little comfort. Life, even, is ephemeral. Everything is passing to make place for the more perfect. And because beauty is reck- lessly bestowed, visiting, like the rain and the sunshine, the good and the bad, is no unpardonable fault of beauty, and no justification for the paragrapher's ridicule. What matters it if beauty is gained after hours of toll and the exercise of great care? When 1t is, it is joy forever, and serves to make the world pleasant and even good
 To him who denies this claim a chal- lenge is issued. Any hour is suitable. Go to see for yourself. It is not neces- sary to know single name. It does not matter if every face is unfamiliar It is not essential to pause and praise. Just look and know.

" RADUALLY, Birmingham's fame
 v as home of pretty women has gone abroad.
 The average person will not be sur prised that Birmingham's women are pretty. He knows that womankind everywhere is good to look upon.
 The cynic of another place is not surprised. Every city makes the same claim. It Is patriotic. It is compli- ment that cannot be withheld. Since man could speak, woman has had her eulogy. The stereotyped theme of every poem is love for sweethearts, and reverence for mothers. So the 'cynic admits.
 The average resident of Birming ham knows the claim is true, and is proud to accept it without argument Every man in Birmingham does not know how true the claim is, or on what a firm foundation it rests. Perhaps his observation has been most casual. perchance he is familiar only with that beauty which alights from an electric car at o'clock, it's cheeks rosy with the suburban breeze, a beauty that health and innocence compel. Or perhaps he is familiar only with that beauty whose habitat is the tinselled floor of bal poudre, and an arcade of innumerable electric lights, beauty exemplified and accentuated by the maid of France and the curling tong.
 But the man who has observed all, who has seen the early morning beauty with step as light as fawn's and as graceful, it's face wreathed in smiles Inspired only by happiness and the real joy of living; who has seen the be~-y in tailored suit. tripping on its

strength and growth and material des velopment. If the beauty does coma with care, so much higher should that beauty be prized. In her way woman contributes to the best interest of ev- cry city, and while the fact that shs aids in making 1t beautiful is not the chiefest duty that she performs, it is nevertheless something greatly to her credit, and in return for which she de- serves praise.
 The people of-Birmingham and Ala bama do not believe that no woman has lived as beautiful as she, the last of the Ptolemies. There are women today in every city, as beautiful as was Cleopatra.

Opening Of Coenr T. Aiehs Indian Res
ervation for Settlement.

This paper has been asked by a num-
Der of people for information in regard
to the Occur d. Alene Indian reserva-
ton, when it will be opened for settle
ment, the character of the soil and
country, etc. We have received from
Congressman Burton L. French, at
Moscow, copy of letter sent him by
Acting Commissioner G. F. Larrabee,
at Washington, D. C, The letter is as
follows:
Sir-This Office is in receipt of your
letter of April Is, 1907, requesting that
you be given all available information
relative to the opening of the Occur d
Alene reservation, in Idaho.
The Act of June 81, 1906, GA Stat.
325), provides that after the survey of
the lands within the Occur d. Alene
Indian reservation, in Idaho, and allott-
ments therein to the Indians have
been completed, the surplus lands not
reserved for agency, school or otner
purposes shall be classified as agricul-
tural, grazing, or timber, appraised and
opened to settlement and entry under
the provisions of the homestead law at
not less than their appraised value, by
proclamation of the president, which
shall prescribe the time when, and the
manner in which, the lands shall be
opened to settlement. The act also ex-
tends the general mining laws to the
lands embraced within the reservation.
Mineral entry may be made for any
of said lands, but no mineral location
will be permitted for any lands allotted
in severAlty to the Indians.
In interpreting this clause the office
has held that the act also applies to
lands in the occupation of any Indian.
All coal and oil deposits in or under the
lands within the reservation remain the
property of the United States, and the
secretary Of the Interior is authorized
to reserve such tracts for townsite pur.
poses as in his opinion may be required
for future public interests.
The lands that will be thrown open tt
settlement and entry will aggregate ap
proximately 80, 900 acres.
l am informally advised by the com
missioner of the general land Office tina
the survey of the reservation has beef
completed and the examination of tn
survey in the field is now being mad
and will be completed by July LIST
After the survey has been accepted tn
work of making allottments will com
mence and under the act must be com
pleted before the lands can be classife
and appraised
AS the work of making allotment
will require considerable time you wi
readily see that it is not possible for tn
reservation to be opened to settlemen
this year. Very respectfully,
G. F. LARRABEE,
Acting Commissioner.

DOWNFALL OF BILL.

I've got a letter, parson, from my son
away out west,
An nv OF heart is heavy as an anvil
in my breast,
To think the boy whose future l had
once so proudly planned
Should wander from the path of right
an come to SIGH an end!
l told him when he left US not three
short years ago,
He'd find himself a-plowin' in a
mighty crooked row
He'd miss his fathers counsel, an
his mothers prayers, too;
But he said the farm was hateful, an
he guessed he'd have to go.
l know thar's big temptations for a
youngster in the west,
But believed our Billy had the cour-
age to resist,
An when he left warned him of the
ever waitin' snares
That lie like hidden sarpints in hfe's
pathway eVeryWneIeS.
But Bill he promised faithful to be
keerful, an allowed
He'd build a reputation that'd make
US mighty proud;
But it seems as how my counsel sort
O. faded from his mind,
An now the boys in trouble O. the
very wurstest kind!
His letters came so seldom that
somehow sort O. knowed
That Billy was a-tramping on a
mighty rocky road,
But never once imagined he would
bow my head in shame,
An in the dust d waller his Of dad
dy's honored name.
He writes from out in Denver, an the
story's mighty short;
just can't tell his mother, it'll. crush
her poor Of heart!
An so reckoned, parson, you might
break the news to her
Bills in the Legislature, but he doesn't
say what fur.

Make Elk City a Clean Town.

A psblic-spirited citizen recommends
to the Mining News that it start cam
paign for clean and tidy town for Elk
City The suggestion is good one and
timely one too. At this season of the
year when nature is robing herself in
her most gorgeous attire man should
do all in his power to assist in the work,
for, after all, natural surroundings
have greater influence on the character
of the Individual than does any other
agency. First thing Chicago's new
mayor did was to inaugurate general
cleaning-up in the city, and for days
and weeks large forces of men will be
employed in carting away and burning
the accumulated waste of the winter
Chicago's movement will serve double
purpose; it will improve sanitary condi-
tions, and make the big town more at
tractive to strangers, and cleaner and
better place to live.
Elk City, with its pure mountain air
and sunshine, doesn't have to look SO
much to sanitation, but the attractive
side should not be sighted. There is
use for the rake and the match, especi-
ally in the business district. Old bar
rels, boxes and filings can be removed
: and the appearance of the town would
be much improved. Even little level
ing off and grading on the street would
not be an effort made in vain.
Elk City has already established a
reputation as center for busy people
who seek rest tand recreation in the
mountains every summer. BY little
effort from the citizens more can be ad-
ded to the towns popularity as noun
tain resort. More visitors and business
callers will come to Elk this year than
any other year in the camps history,

a considerable period, was arrested by

plish what 1t was recommended to do.
1t is doubtful whether the complainant
will be able to satisfy the court with
sufficient proof, in which case, under
the laws of Idaho, the phenomenal"
one will be allowed to decamp for pas

which he leaves nothing. Legislation
has accomplished much in protecting
the morals of the people and compelling
attendance of children at school, but it
seems the law can offer no protection
for the gullible public. The American
people like to be humbugged, too, and
the humbugger usually selects medicine,
religion or politics, and sometime all
three to work his graft.

The Gift From the Forest Reserve.

liz Vl1t AVAu tuS VASSt N$oSA W.
The donation by the forest reserve
of 81, 900 to the fund for the improve
ment of the Stites-Elk City mountain
road is handsome gift to worthy
cause, and, aside from the mere matter
of dollars and cents, the service has
performed an act that will tend to de-
stroy the cordial hatred many people
have had for it, and will give the public
better understanding of the depart
ment's plans and purposes. So far as
Mining News knows the donation came
without solicitation from any resident
of the district, and, there having been
no request made to the department for
such assistance, makes the present one
very thankfully received, at the same
time proving to those who didn't know
that this district has natural resources
that even Uncle Sam recognizes it as
his duty to assist in making useful.
If one believe half he hears in regard
to the practices of forest reserve offic-
ials in the past, he is forced to the con-
clusion that the service was created for
the double purpose of giving positions
to political pets and teaching civility
through the presence of officials. No
doubt the forest reserve policy to begin
with lacked the perfection that can
come to departments of government
only through trials and experience prob
ably the service given was largely the
within of car who didn't understand
the duty of his Office, and whose orders
were interpreted by understrappers
whose lack of knowledge in the common
school branches totally untitled them
for position in the meanest walks of
life. This paper does not want to be
understood as trying to excuse the re-
serve department for the many gross
injustices it has done to many citizens
in the past, but it does want to call at
tention to the fact that great changes
have been made for the better, and are
still being made. The service is on a
different plane than it was few years
ago. The department in Washington
is distinct from other departments, il
is thoroughly systematized, laws are
are followed now instead of rulings
and the forest ranger is required to pass
the civil service examination, which in.
sures the settlers that he is able tt
interpret correctly the orders from the
department, and also carry on intelli
gent correspondence with his superiors
The forest reserve policy in America
is just reaching the age where it is be-
ing realized as blessing. All of ths
northern countries in Europe have de
partment of forestry, and Germany
particularly, is paying close attention
to protection and growth of forests
Nature was so generous in bestowinl
her gifts in America that it appears tt
some extravaganza can never exhaus
the supply. To the originators of thu
forest reserve department it appeared
differently, and some day all American
citizens may be able to agree on tina
point.
