some contending that the boun-
Diary line follows the guide line
between 1872 and 1888, giving
Adams 81 townships and Het-

The division, as given in the
governors proclamation, gives
the counties the same as stated in

EVERY resident of Dickinson
should, if he has not already done
so, set a few trees and Towering
shrubs. This will insure shade
and beauty for each home and be
of untold benefit to the city.
Tree planting is a personal and a
civic duty. In many parts of the
city, especially in the newer por-
tions, trees are being set outside
the side walks, thus providing
for shady walks and beautiful
streets. The cost is but little.
Let 1907 be a record-breaking
year for tree planting in Dickin.

American Troops Are Withdrawn.

Havana, Cuba, Jan. S.-The posi-

distant date, has alarmed the bank
ers throughout the island. Inc oanA-
ers have just issued an announce
ment that in the event of the WITH
drawal of Uncle Sans protection they
will refuse to make loans on crops.
They say American troops are rec
essary to insure political and lnouS"
trial stability and the safety OF sucn
securities and they will not take any
risk. It is believed that the eVacua-
ton of the island by the American
army will result in wholesale starVa-

AN ENGLISH PAPER cR1TIcIsEs
THE PRESIDENT SEVERELY.
There Has Been an Astonishing
Change in Feeling Of English Peo-
pie Toward the President-Accused
of Uncertainty, Want of Veracity or
Incapacity for Coherent Thought.

London. Jan. AN astonishing
change in feeling toward President
Roosevelt on the part Of Englishmen
is making Itself evident in signs not
to be mistaken. When he first enter
ed the White House the English pa
pers regarded him as one Of the fore
most figures of the world. The lead
ing journals refused to print anything
rejecting even slightly on the presi-
dent.
A short time ago some English pa
pers ridiculed his spelling reforms,
while others expressed indignation.
More recently numerous direct criti-
cisms have been printed, eliminating
IN a long article in the Morning Post,
headed. "Is Roosevelt's Influence De-
clining?" An affirmative answer to
the article is given in an outspoken
manner, saying:
president Roosevelt talks IN hasty
and exaggerated language, turning
this way and that. which may or may
not argue certain incapacity for
consecutive thought but that Is apt
t. lead men to doubt either his sin
cerjty or veracity.'
The writer, who is anonymous, says
he thinks Roosevelt is sincere, yet
one meets high ch&ractered Ameri-
cans who are persuaded that Roose-
ve,r has led to them.
