It almost trenches on the ridicu-

It almost trenches on the ridicu- lous to think of the railroads favor ing government valuation of their properties. But it seems that it is what they are coming to. Roose- welt luck again. This is the third if not the fourth time that the rail- roads have changed base and come to favor the policies that the president proposed after first declaring that they were ruinous radicalism. This change of heart is very simple and easily explained. When the presi- dent first proposed actual valuation of the railroad properties, the roads were afraid it would depress the pa per value of their securities. in other words. squeeze out some of the wa ter. Now the question of water in railroad stocks is relative. Some of the securities are heavily watered, and that there is TO denying. Others are watered compared to what they originally cost the roads. that is to say. land values have increased till the roads are good for much heavier valuation than when they were first built. But the scheme for federal valuation aims not so much at scaling down the price at which the roads now value themselves as to fix fair valuation and prevent the injection of a larger and more unreasonable amount of water. There is some as- surance that this valuation would be on a fairly equitable basis. and the railroads were opposed to it till they
 found that the state legislatures were going ahead cn their own ac- count and making valuations of the railroads within their borders. Four states have already done this. and six more are preparing to do so- This
 scared out the railroad managers. and they are now saying that one federal , valuation will be lesser evil than I45 state valuations So they have switched to the presidents plan

WOOD FOR PENCILS.
Government Getting Anxious And
 Will Try to Grow Red Cedar.

Washington. D. C., April 22.-An important work has been undertaken by the bureau of forestry, under the direction of it's chief, Clifford Pin. chot. It is the conservation and eco homie use, as we'll as the development of the growth of rcd cedar.
 Few persons have any adequate idea of the value of red cedar as Il commercial wood, but some very in- teresting facts have been brought out by the forestry bureau concerning it. A quarter of century ago, practical ly unlimited quantities of the wood were obtainable in many sections of this country. So great has been the demand for it. however. that now red cedar actually is sold by the pound, as one buys staple groceries. and the supply is at the point of exhaustion.
 The use of lead pencils Is respon- sible for the depletion of the supply of red cedar More than 3OO.00O, COG pencils are manufactured every year in this country and in substantially every one of them red cedar is used. Nearly 100000 cubic feet of the wood were used last year in the lead in weight. being about 10000 tons. The American people. therefore. use 300 tons of red cedar a day in the form of lead pencils alone.
 Manufacturers say that no ade- quate substitution for red cedar m the making of lead pencils has been discovered. Other woods occasional ly are used and paper has come inro use by some manufacturers. but none of the substitutes for the read cedar 1 yet has proved satisfactory.
 Ii is stated by the experts of the ! forestry bureau that no wood that is grown can take the place of red ce. ! dar for lead pencils. The grain is straight. the wood is soft and easily workable and it is notably free from i knots.
 Until within a year or two. no def. | nite steps had been taken to insure q continuance of the supply of this val {, uable wood. Indeed. it was supposed that it could not be cultivated profit ably. as if was thought that second growth red cedar would not attain sufficient size to he of commercial value. Mir Pinchot had his forester, make an elaborate investigation o the growth of the tree. with a view to conserving the red cedar supply They have reached the conclusion tina the wood can he grown profitabiy through little attention. in any re zion where it heretofore has growl naturally.

MONDAY, APRIL a2. 1907.

While the army and navy are en- gagged in the laudable effort to pro- tect the uniform of the service and to secure for all wearing it proper courtesy at the hands of proprietors of places of public amusement, 1t IS interesting to note that when two marines, corporal and a private, visited the congressional library at Washington the other day, they were approached by watchman and di- rected to leave the building. The marines claim they were behaving themselves properly and were or
 dered to leave merely because they had on uniforms. The library au- thorities say they were annoying women visitors. While the depart ments are upheld in their efforts to maintain respect for the uniforms, it is regrettable that the actions of soldiers, sailors and marines at times have been such as to justify their de- barment from places of public en- tertainment. When a soldier or sailor offends or creates disturbance the reflection is not on him personal ly as would be the case if he were in citizens dress, but upon the uni form and the proprietor is natural ly inclined to regard any one wear ing such uniform with suspicion.

 This much may be said of Mir Bryan's credit, he seems to foresee the will of the people better than he did when he advocated free silver. There is no doubt but that the people desire an extension of the trial-by-jury system, and it is also apparent that there is growing de- sire for an application of the plan of initiative and referendum, cum bersome as it is. Both of these in noyations are in line with square deal. ."-Ansonia Sentinel.

siderably. On the other hand. the Kickapoos remaining in the United States have dwindled in numbers.
 Meanwhile number of white men with plenty of money to spend have been urging the Kickapoos to leave Oklahoma, in order that the lands they now hold there may be gobbled. With a view to this end. they are try ing to persuade congress to consent to the relinquishment of the lands in question, and incidentally to pay over to the Indians the money now to their credit in the treasury-this money to be used, at least in part, for the pur- chase of lands in Mexico. These lands have already been acquired by the white men aforesaid, who have estab- lished a bank at Eagle Pass. on the Rio Grande. from which point they propose to finance the migration, in cidentaly assuming management of what remains of the funds thereafter.
 It is a highly benevolent scheme. especially from the white mems point of view. They acquire the lands they want in Oklahoma; they secure pos session of the funds belonging to the Indians, and for part of the cash they sell to the Kickapoos other lands which they have secured for small price in Mexico. As for the Indians, they are between the devil and the deep sea. If they remain in Oklahoma they continue to be subject to the dis tresses to which they have been ex- posed. On the other hand, If they go to Mexico, they lose all the rights and privileges which they now hold from our government; and 1t is alto gether likely that within a few years they will find themselves exposed to the same sort of crowding on the other side of the border-the country to which they are going being very desirable for cattle raising.
 If the Indians could be let alone. they might be happy: but they suffer all sorts of annoyances at the hands of the whites. and at present their one desire Is to get away. Unfor- | tuuately. the Mexican government. which protects the so-called Mexican Kickapoos in their reservation rights already granted. refuses to extend those rights to our kickapoos or to any of the other tribes which want to move to Mexico. Hence it is that. to provide for our Kickapoos in Mexico, the white spectators aforesaid have been obliged to acquire a large tract of land near the reservation of the Mexican Kickapoos. Many of our Kickapoos have already settled in this tract. paying rent. and. II they can get permission to use the money
 belonging to them which our govern ment holds. they want to buy the

At the election of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Mrs Donald Mclean of New York, the present president general, was re- tained in her position. This is a matter of much interest to women all over the country, as these ancient Daughters" despite the fun often made of their parliamentary squab- bles and their much ado about noth- ing, are nevertheless of interest to some people. Of course, one has to show revolutionary ancestry to be eligible for membership, and some who have not succeeded in qualifying through the army branch of the ser vice may be interested to know that they have a better chance now than ever before to examine the naval rec ords of the revolution and possibly find a revolutionary ancestor who served on the water. It has been a great regret to genealogists for long time that the records of the navy in the revolution were so incomplete and scattered. Now, however, they have been collected as far as possible from the original documents and printed by the libray of congress as public document. This book is on sale by the superintendent of documents at the government printing office, and can be had by any one interested in
 makig a search of the revolutionary
 naval records.

Dissatisfied With Treatment at Hands of Whites, They Are Anxious to Sell Lands and Go Into

The Kickapoos are looking toward the land of Mexico as their Eldorado. They are dissatisfied with the inter- ference and annoyance suffered at the hands of the white residents of Okla homa and are anxious to dispose of their lands and move bag and baggage into the land which promises to give them larger liberties and opportuni- ties.

The sudden appearance of the scrap
book of Algernon Shaw, who SO sud
denly and mysteriously disappeared
August /, 1899, together with letters re-
ceived about the same time from hts
mother asking that another search be
made for him, recalls attention both to
the mystery of the disappearance and
the unfaltering hope of his mother.
Among other things in the scrap book
which was thus suddenly thrust at the
police was a pen drawing of Shaw by
himself, which is reproduced with this
article. Lettered on the picture is the
following: MFR. Algernon Shaw; ar
tistic profile taken when he needed a
haircut; sketched by himself" The
likeness is readily recognizable by
those who knew him, but it probably
antedates his disappearance by four
or five years.
The scrap book seems to be without
method in it's arrangement and much
/
to connect it with Shaw himself, ex-
cept the general presumption that be-
cause it is in his scrap book it had
either some interest for him or some
relation to him.
BY far the greater portion of the
book seems to be made up of clippings
that date with tolerable consecutive
ness from February, 1891, to the end of
1892. Then there are a few clippings
from January. 1892, and the notation
apparently in his handwriting: "Came
on the Springfield Graphic January 80,
'93: left the Union Jan. % CSat1, '93 J"
This clearly relates to papers in
Springfield, Mass. The remainder of
the clippings seem to date from 1895,
There is another notation thus: Got
on the N Y World February 18th '95.''
The last of the clippings seem to date
from October and November, 1895,
though there are two or three clippings
not pasted in place which bear dates
as late as 1897; and there is one clip
ping from the Advertiser of July 8,
1902. which was three years after he
disappeared, clipping which relates to
his disappearance. and seems to show
that whoever had the scrap book In
possession knew its relation and felt
some interest in the matter.
At first blush the suggestion would
be that the sudden and mysterious re-
| appearance OF the scrap book eight
years after the disappearance of the
man. might prove a clue to the expla-
| nation of the mystery. But in all
probability it has no relation whatever
