A SHATTERED EMPIRE.

The great western wilderness,
once so vast, so wide, 80 beautiful
in its sombre colorings, It's loneliness
and It's very desolation is being con-
quered day by day and year by year.
Soon the home OF the white man will
be found in the fartherest, most mac
cessible solitude Of the once un-
claimed territory
Charles Il. Clark expresses the

thought OF the vanishing public do
main in a beautiful poem in the cur
rent number OF Pacific Monthly, the
opening stanza of which is as fol-
lows:
zone time, way back, when the year
marks fade
God said: II see must lose my west,
The prettiest part of the world
made,
The place where I've always come to
rest,
For the White mans growed till he
fights for bread
And he begs and prays for chance
to spread
Every day this thought is exem-
plified in our own experiences; we
see the hungry horde fighting for
bread in the crowded cities, begging
for chance to spread" We see
the long line of homeseekers pour
ing nto the west, searching its far
therest isolated valleys for a place to
plant a home; upturning its sacred
mountain wales in quest of a shelter
ed spot in which to settle and live.
The great program of civilization
is being enacted all about us, silently
in some ways. noisily and boisterous-
ly in others, but ever surging ahead,
ever pushing into new frontiers, con-
quering new wildernesses, Drawing
new perils.

Umbrellas in the House.

There was presented to Represen- tative Gunter at the morning session of the House yesterday a handsome umbrella, heavily mounted with gold. It was presented from the Municipal Code Committee. On one end of the handle it bore the inscription of the members of the House who served on that committee and on the other the members of the Senate. These were J. H. Norville. c. M. Sherrod. J. W. Strothers, J. Fl. Cranford, Norman Gum and W. F. Lowe.

 Another recipient of gold handled umbrella was Col Sam Will John. This came from the Judiciary Commit tee of which he is the chairman. It was inscribed as follows: "Presented 10 sam Will John by the House Ju- dietary Committee or the Legislature of l907."

The coun- ties which had five prisoners or less were given forty-five cents a day. while the larger counties were given only 30 cents a day for the feed of prisoners. The sheriff of Jefferson county was allowed a smaller amount than the sheriff of any other county.

liberal. With little apparent EFFORT being
made to support the market prices declined
rapidly. owing to the developments in the
financial world, crop reports ana other
news which ordinarily would have caused
considerable influence were seemingly tg-
nored. Toward the middle of the session
the selling became less urgent, but the

show any great change.
If anything, there was a little more life

kinds especially selling more freely partly
due to there being some good outside buy

was no great change, the most Of the cat

Holders of common to medium kinds COM
planned about the trade being weak on. their
kind, but the feeder buyers helped out by
taking quite a good many of the warmed
up and habitat steers.
Cows and heifers did not show any great
change, the market for the most part
being steady with yesterday
There were very few feeders in sight
aside from warmed-up steers which were
shipped in for beef. At the same time
there was a very fair demand and the mar
ket was in good healthy condition. Prices
were fully steady with yesterday. In fact
stockers and feeders have commanded firm
prices all the week.
