A Peace Fleet.

In view of the coming peace confer
ence Ernest Crosby calls attention in
the North American Review TO the ma
val armament maintained on the great
American lakes by this country and
Great Britain. In 1917. not long after
Commodore Perry's celebrated meet
ing" with Britannia's sea power OH
Lake Erie, an arrangement was made
by President Monroe's administration
to do away with a fighting feet on the
waters lying between the United States
and Canada. The ship actions on the
lakes during the war of 1925 were
fought out, and neither side had re-
spectacle feet remaining. Both ma
lions agreed not to reconstruct their
lake nayies.
Whatever the motive which led to
practical disarmament on the lakes al
most century ago, peace advocates
may reasonably claim that the step
was calculated to insure peace on the
border. 1t was agreed that there should
be but four vessels maintained by each
power, one on Lake Ontario, two on
the upper lakes and one on Lake
Champlaln, each vessel of burden not
to exceed 100 tons and armed with
zone eighteen-pound cannon" All 9th
er armed vessels were dismantied, and
1t was stipulated that mo other yes
sells of war shall be there built or arm
ed"
For the last fifty years at least
fleet limited to four eighteen-pound
guns has offered no great. temptation
to fighting blood. Once, however, one
of our own eighteen Founders came
near figuring In a scrlmmage which
might have led to an ugly international
incident and possibly to breach of
the peace between Great Britain and
the United States. In 1854 John Y.
Beall and party Of Confederates hail

to capture the United States gunboat

KEGS who happened to stand in the
way of his daring plans. At the de-
cisive moment Bealrs men mutinied,
and so Uncle Sans lone sentinel gun
did not break the peaceful silence OF
nearly fifty years. This episode proved
that. as the cautious Mrs. Partington
advised her son Ike. there are posi-
bilities for mischief in single gun,
"even If without lock. cock. stock or
barrel"

The Army Mule.

Recently the quartermaster general
of the army declared that the motor
car for hauling army supplies would
supplant the mule In that case an
army institution will be doomed and
some of the soldiers amusement spoil

great humorist of the civil war. He
was kicked and cursed when he would
not pull the supply wagons out of the
mud and fed ON blessings and sugar

But with all his uncertain traits the
American mule keeps in favor for
rough work. If the army Husbands"

Notice from Land ONCE

The Waterville land Office is in re-
ceipt of the following notice, dated
Jan. 8, 1907, and signed by E. A.
Hitchcock, Secretary Of the Interior: :
Referring to the circular Of instruc-
tons to special agents Of your office,
approved by me on January 90, 1904,
relative to their duties under the act Of
February 25, 1885, % Stat, 321, en-
titled An act to prevent unlawful oc-
cupancy of the public lands, you are
advised that said circular is hereby
amended and modified as follows:
Strike out from said circular paragraphs
and 6 and insert in lieu thereof the
following:
1t shall be the duty OF the special
agent on receipt Of any charge or COM
plant or upon information being ac-
CURED by him from any source that an
unlawful Enclosure is being maintained
by any person or persons, association or
corporation, to at once proceed to Sc
cure sufficient data, including a de-
scription of the lands inclosed, with
reasonable certainty, not necessarily by
metes and bounds, nor by govern
mental subdivisions of surveyed land,
but only so that the Enclosure may be
identified and the person or persons
guilty OF the violation, as nearly as
may be, and by description if the name
can not on reasonable inquiry be ascer-
tanned, and to at once submit such
case with the data ascertained to the
United States attorney for prosecution.
1t shall be the duty OF the special
agent, and he shall be so instructed,
to be alert and vigilant to detect the
existence of unlawful Enclosures in his
district and to proceed in accordance
Herewith as hereinabove directed, and
that he is not to construe his duties as
requiring that, before proceeding in the
matter of an unlawful Enclosure, there
must first be filed with him formal
complaint by some person or persons
acquainted with the facts, but it shall
be his duty, as hereinabove stated, to
take the initiative himself.
In this connection you are further
instructed, by direction OF the Presi-
dent, to at once notify all Of the spec
ial agents and receivers and registers
of local land Offices throughout the
United States, and to give the widest
publicity thereto the provisions OF said
act of February Is, 1885, for the sum-
mary destruction Of Enclosures and OBJ
structions existing in violation OF said
act will be rigidly enforced on and al

Tramp and ssYegg."

Attention has been called recently to
the fact that many sections Of the
country are no longer cursed with the
tramps that "beat' the roads from city
to city few years ago. The old tramp
was a sort of gypsy, living in the open
ON stolen plumber, eked out by gifts
from tender hearted housewives. II
prosperous times have banished this
class of vagabonds from the roads and
fields, then his plea that lack of en-
ployment forced him to roam was cor
rect.
But IL the good natured and opti-
mistic hobo Is disappearing a less toll
cradle Individual has come forward to
plague the unprotected in the person
of the "yegg," or tramplng criminal.
The desperation and brutality Of some
burglars. highwaymen and pickpockets
throughout the country suggest a new
school of criminals. The former skilled
and polished burglar and highwayman
went ABOUT MS neIarlOuS Worh WIN
due regard to his own life and limb.
He didn't risk discovery If he could
help 1t. Nowadays we hear Of the
rash and clumsy burglar, the holdup
man who works in broad daylight, the
thieves who rob stores and houses In
daylight and load the plumber into
wagons standing at the door Perhaps
prosperity has not reformed the morals
of the tramp, but merely elevated his
STANDARD of living" He wants more
of the good things of life Mere 'hand-
outs" at the farm kitchen door are not
a fair divide of bumper crops, accord
ing to tramp reasoning-gold and,
jewels and silks for him, even If he
has to face death and Jail to get them.
From begging to stealing is an easy
descent for some people. The bold
criminal of today may be the tramp
that was.

Our Iron Supply and Demand.

In spite of the fact that the produc-
ton of pig iron in this country in 1900
was nearly 40 per cent greater than In
1904, there was a substantial Increase
In value per ton, evidence that the de-
mand kept pace with the volume Of
output at the furnaces. Not only that,
United States Consul Fleming reports
from Edinburgh that during 1906 there
was felt in Scotland a sudden demand
for Scotch iron in the United States.
The home production of pig iron was
recently stated officially as follows:
Twenty states in the Union produced
Dig iron In 1906 The total production Of
pig iron in 1905 was %, 992, $50 long tons
This Is an increase in quantity of 6,495, 347
long tons, or over 80 per cent, over the
production of 1904. 1t is an increase In
value from $685. 900 to 1882, 45O, 900,
amounting to $149, AS 900, or 6412 per cent.
The average price per long ton of pig
iron increased from Sab In 1904 to $l6.63
in 1906.
Owing to the enormous production In
this country for several years back the
United States ceased to figure as a
buyer In the Scotch iron market. But
a change has come over the situation,
and rush orders have been placed with
Glasgow firms since midsummer, 1906,
from the chief consuming centers Of
the United States. notably New York,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. A
heavy shipment was made to New Or
leans, the first for that port In over a
quarter of a century. And Scotland
has no reserve stock as compared with
former years. Her reserve Of 277,0O0
tons Jan. l, 1900, had dwindled to 3d.
600 tons at the opening of 1906, guam
tity less than that represented by ship
ments ordered by the United States in
the course of few weeks. Indications
are that with the Americans making
heavy bids In the markets of Scotland
condition of things may be created
which will prove embarrassing for
home consumers.

Misplaced Mustard Plaster

The story OF misplaced mustard
plaster and the consequent losing of
a goodly portion Of cuticle by we'll
known knight Of the grip, as told by
Conductor - of the North Coast
Limited, is well worth retelling and is
also illustrative of the old saying that
"A woman away from home is woman
without head"
The story, which is vouched for, is
that very dignified and refined ap-
pearing lady and her husband were oc-
cupants of the sleeper on the North
Coast Limited on trip between Butte
and Spokane, few days ago, in COM
mon with number of travelling men.
During the early part of the night
the lady in question was compelled to
arise and administer to- her husband
who was suffering with intense pain.
She sought the aid Of the conductor
and with cloth from the trains medi-
cine chest and mustard furnished by
the chef OF the diner was able to con-
coct powerful mustard plaster.
Armed with this powerful pain killer
she made her way back to the sleeper
and placed the plaster on the back Of,
as she supposed, her husband, who, it
appeared had dropped into sound
slumber. She then sought the ladies'
dressing room to remove all vestiges Of
the plaster from her hands.
When she returned to her berth, for
she found the right one this time, her
husband inquired, amid groans OF pain,
as to the whereabouts of the plaster.
She replied that she had already applied
it to the ailing portion OF his anatomy
and with a woman's persistence sue
ceeded in persuading him that what
she said was so and the afflicted man
dropped off to sleep.
In the early hours of the next morn
ing the occupant Of the next berth
awoke with smarting pain on his back
and he investigated and found that he
had acquired mustard plaster but had
lost considerable amount Of cuticle.
T, With sounds Of muffled rage he dressed
and made the rounds Of the car in a
vain attempt to find which one OF his
fellow drummers had perpetrated the
practical and vile joke upon him. He
swears that in the future he will always
demand an upper berth. Spokesman

What tho Jews Want In Russia.

What the jews Want IN Russia.
Concessions to the Jews OF Russia
have long been expected. not merely
because they were promised by the gov
eminent, but for the reason that 1t
would seem a stroke of policy for the
rulers. The pressure of foreign capt.
talists may enter into the problem, for
In spite of official statements to the
contrary the country cannot afford to
provoke too far the Jewish bankers of
the world Absolute equality through
out the whole empire which means
"entire freedom to come and CO. as
presses 1t, has been the dream. not to
say the demand. of the Jews. But to
give the race the full measure of rights
expected would, 1t is insisted by the
Russia for Russians" party, "be con-
sidered reward for disorder. treason
and revolution" The solution evident
ly lies in some safe ground between
extremes.
Russia has here a momentous prob
lem to solve. Had the spirit Of justice
been more In evidence In recent years
this situation would not arise to plague
her rulers at this critical juncture In
her national life The Russians have
been schooled to tyranny. Suffering
prosecutions themselves at the hands
of the cruel and INSCRIPTIONS autocra-
cy. they have shown no fellow feeling
for other unfortunates. rather avenged
their own wrongs upon the helpless
Jews who happened to be under their
power. 1t Is a sad trait of human ma
ture that victims of oppression from
which there is no escape vent their pas
slouate protest upon the nearest of
their fellow men who are unprotected.
There seems to be no doubt but the
Russian rulers, shamed and alarmed
by attention the continued outrages
upon the Jews attract among other ma
tons. have made more or less sim
cere effort at reform. But the feeling
of hostility proves ineradicable. Sol
diers and police sent to put down anti
Jewish violences have Joined the mobs
and encouraged their fiendish work
One ray of hope shines through all
the gloom, however If ii proves true
that the douma is to have the settle
ment of the Jewish question in its con-
troll. The national assembly, If ut all
democratic In composition. should
teach federation and respect for the
rights and opinions of others. Jews
are in that body and in the natural
course of things will show themselves
able and patriotic colleagues. as good
Russians and as good citizens as the
race is certain to acquire Importance
through representation in legislative
councils. The czar has aimed to enlist
the peasants on his side as against the
radical revolutionists. In the Jews he
may also find allies on the side of or
der. If the habit of outbreaks under
this or that provocation or for no provo
cation at all can be uprooted in Russia
there will be less chance to veil an at
tack on the Jews with the pretense
that some righteous cause was at the
bottom of 1t and the mob got away
from its leaders.
