Prepared by Senator la Toilette
after a years study Of the problems
involved, approved by the Depart
ment Of Justice and the White House,
an elaborate plan of legislation has
Just been presented by the Wiscon-

less than a reorganization of the pub

as they concern the deposits Of coal,
oil. natural gas, and asphalt which
are scattered throughout hundred OF
millions of acres Of the public

Senator Ia Follette's bill proposes
that these tremendously valuable de-
posts shall never be alienatei from
The Government. His bill proposes
to withdraw from entry and sale
forthwith every acre of coal land in
the public lands. Thereafter, the
Government should permit coal to

conditions and designed TO guaran-

The Slow Gordon Setter.

Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite fayorite and much in use by
sportsmen of this country. In later
years, however. this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and English setter.
The Gordon, says Ed f. Haberlein
in Dogdom, is the largest and heav.
lest Of all bird dogs, more clumsy and
usually slow. Where most hunting is
done in woodland and thickets and a
Slow working dog is needed so as not
to get lost" almost continually he

gun, has good nose. is steady on point
and, If properly trained, very good
retriever from land and water.
The Gordon is easily trained and re.
tains his training wei, is also of good
pleasant disposition and admirable
companion. At this age. however
when so very much stress is laid ON
speed and wide range. the Gordon is

PRESIDENT WILL
 CAMP FOR r DAYS From Memphis on Speech Making Tour He Will Go to Louisiana to Remain October 5 to g.
LOCATION NOT GIVEN
Will Be in Northeastern Part of State and He Expects to Hunt for Big Game-Teddy Bears, Beware Plenty of Game in Swamps.

Oyster Bay, Sept 20.-Far from the scene of official routine and free from the details attendant upon the responsibilities associated with the office of chief executive, President Roosevelt will enjoy 17 days in camp. This is to be the nearest approach to genuine vacation that the presi- dent has allowed himself. Though nominally on his vacation at Oyster Bay this summer, there has been but few hours in which official business has not intruded.
 A phy sical anl mental recreation as complete as his cares will permit is now arranged. President Roosevelt will pitch his camp in the northeast ern corner of Louisiana on or about October 5 The exact spot is yet to be determined. The plans provide for a camping trip, but every one whc knows northeastern Louisiana knows that the canebrakes shelter game worthy of huntsman of presidential ealiber. Those who have the good fortune to make pleasant the presi- dents camp, expect that the monotony of camp life will occasionally be broken by hunt.
 While the details of the trip have not been thoroughly worked out, the main features were announced by Sec retary Loeb today. The president will leave Oyster Bay for Washington next Wednesday and on the follow ing Sunday will start on his Western and Southern tour.
 At Memphis, Tenn, on October 5, the speechmaking program will be interrupted and the president will start for the camp grounds. He will break camp on October 21, going di- rectly to Vicksburg, Miss, to make his promised visit there. The return to Washington will immediately af- ter be begun and the white house will be reached on the afternoon of October 23.
 The president will be the guest while in camp of Civil Service Con- missioner John A. McIlhinney of New Iberia, La, and of John M. Parker of New Orleans. Following the speech at Vicksburg, October 21, the presi- dent has consented to make an ad- dress at Hermitage, Tenn, on the fol- lowing day.
