FORESTRY SERVICE HAS
PROBLEM FOR SOLUTION

Washington, April 3.-The forestry
service has submitted to the attorney
general the question of the legality of
the practice of so charging commercial
companies for the right of conducting
water through the reserves for the
development OF power and other pur-
poses as to cause them to contribute
to the expense of maintaining the re-
serves. The service has heretofore ex-
acted payment for pipe lines taking
water from the streams in the re-
serves, but the right to do so has been
questioned, and it is now the purpose
to secure the attorney generals view
on the point. The forestry administra-
ton takes the position that the COM
mercial companies should pay some
thing for the service they receive,
through the conservation of the waters
of the streams on which they rely, and
they find their only opportunity in the
charge of the right of way. Practically
all the water used by them is conveyed
through pipe lines for the production
of electricity, and the demand is con-
'antly increasing

WILL BE GREAT YEAR IN
BASEBALL ANNALS

The season of 1907 promises to be
the most successful in baseball hist
ory. There are more professional clubs
under the national agreement, which
is the supreme government OF base
ball. today than at any time since the
league consisted of eight clubs forty
years ago. Listed under this head OF
the. Legitimate there are thirty profess
sional baseball leagues throughout the
United States, and these will average
seven clubs to the league. This gives
iis 210 professional baseball clubs to
entertain the sport-loving public, from
the cosmopolitan cities to the small
hamlet These clubs will try out
and employ regularly twenty players
during the season. That means 4.200
professional ball players and on the
payrolls of the various clubs and
through the support of the public
1 SS40, 900. or nearly q million, is paid
out to boys and men throughout the
country who can dexterously catch
and hit a ball.
Aside from the professional players
SO listed, there are hundreds OF semi
professional leagues. In which tht
players receive salaries ranging from
$50 to 500 q month, II II were pos
sible to reach anything like an aeon

ICES the Importance of the Office OF a
baseball league president, but when it
is considered that Pat T. Powers, pres
ident of the Eastern league and presi-
dent of the National association of
minor baseball leagues, has under his
executive control more than 5000
players and club property valued at
not less than s3.000o00, the import
ance of the position can be better un-
derstood.
From the official records 1t is shown
that 100000 people attended games
in the major leagues alone last year
Add the minor league attendance to
this and 1t would probably include the
entire population of the United States.
When these figures are seriously
considered the popularity of baseball
as national pastime can be the more
readily realized. Nothing like it has
ever been recorded in the world. the
Olympic games in ancient Greece not
being excepted.
To be conservative, we will estimate
that the attendance in the two major
leagues and the twenty-odd minor
leagues aggregated 75,00O.000. The
prices OF admission in the minor
leagues are lower than in major
leagues The prices there are from 25
cents to so cents. while In the big
leagues they range from so cents to
81. Taking the rather low average OF
40 cents to the man. Il will be seen
that s3o.ooo.o0o was paid out by the
people last season for the enjoyment
of a sporting pastime.
This would come near running the
government OF the city OF New York
and would be more than enough to pay

SLANG UP TO DATE

mote quarters there Is still belief
that a winning club gets the larger
percentage of the receipts OF the game
so played. This Is erroneous. The
clubs divide equally, win or loose. But
that is not the point. A baseball club

the winners draws greater crowds at

American public loves winner. It

BLITHESOME AND JOYOUS
SPRINGTIME is HERE

Evidences that spring is here multi
ply each day and no longer is there
any doubt that Old Boreas has been
conquered by the genial rays of the
vernal sun.
The cottonwood trees, than which
there are no surer or more reliable
vegetable barometers of the changing
seasons in Colorado, are putting forth
their leaves in anticipation of the sum-
mer months, confident that all danger
of snow and frost is gone Another
harbinger of warm weather in our
colder latitudes is the coming of the
birds back to their familiar haunts
after having spent the winter along
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean sea. Many of these
feathered visitants have put in an ap-
pearance within the last week or ten
days.
Robins, sparrows, and other birds
of the harder varieties, remain with
us all winter, but the tenderer species
fly away to the tropics with the advent
of November, and bask in the sunshine
of the south until the reign of the ice
king Is broke. They have come back

here once more. The dandelions are

HAS THE HUMAN SOUL
WEIGHT AND SUBSTANCEf I.

Five Massachusetts physicians have
been endeavoring to ascertain by
series of interesting experiments
whether the soul in the human body
has any material effect
They have conducted their inyesti-
cations for a period Of six years in a
sanitarium in that state, Weighing
people at the point of death. The bed
and the patient have been placed upon
a specially constructed pair of scales
and the result carefully noted when
the spirit leaves the body. They now
announce that when the soul departs
1t diminishes the body by certain
measurable amount.
The difference between the weight
of the live human body and the same
body the moment after death, or when
the soul has quit It, was found to be
one-half to one ounce, and to this, II
is said, there can be no other possible
solution except that 1t is the weight
of the human soul. In every case the
loss was shown after all known sci.
entifc deductions, such as the loss o
respiratory air, of moisture. and of al
excretions OF the body. had been taker
into consideration.
In order that the experimenting
physicians might accurately ascertain
that this unaccountable loss was no
due to some peculiar characteristic o
sex. both men and women have beei
subjects OF the experiments.
