MANY look for a repeal at this
session of congress of the law per-
hitting communication proofs. In
dicative of the feeling regarding
short term proofs was the dis
cussion in the senate Wednesday.
The committee on public lands re-
ported %favorably, Senator Hans
borough's bill permitting entry
men under homestead laws to
leave their land during the months
of December, January, February
and March; but recommended an
amendment providing that in
commutati> proofs no credit
should be given for such absence.
Another amendment extending
the Communication period from
fourteen months to three years
was defeated but in the general
discussion following the motion
it developed that President Roose-
welt favors the requirement for in
creased residence.

IT was Foster or some other
weather prophet who said that
the first week in February would
be unusually mild, but judging
from our local government record
it would seem the prophets were
decidedly mistaken. Commenc-
ing with the 9TH, the prognostica-
ton would have been very fitting,
and we hope that the warm wave
now enjoyed will continue for a
long time. But these same long
range weather men tell US now to
look out for the worst storm of
the season about the 18TH. This
section of the state has expert
enced severe weather but; nothing
to be compared with that which
has prevailed in other states and
in the eastern part of North Da-
kota. Verify, 1907 brings us a
winter of unusual severity.

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Many Ways in Which This Strange
Tropical Plant Is Utilized.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the baltimore Sun.
The breadfruit tree is a native Of south
ern ASIA the West Indies the South Pa
citc islands and the Indian archipelago.
In appearance it resembles somewhat the
wild chestnut. 1t grows to the height of
forty or fifty feet and has dark green
leaves many Of them two feet in lenet l.,
which are deeply divided into pointed lot j.
Hidden among the great leaves the bye :
fruit grows. 1t is nearly spherical, of
weighs four or more pounds and has a
thick yellow rind This fruit is the chief
food of the South Sea islanders. They sell
dom eat a meal without it. The eatable
part lies between the rind AMI the core
and when fully ripe is yellow and juicy.
The fruit Is better before it has fully ma
tured, and the natives gather 1t while the
pulp is white.
Before it Is ready for table use 1t must
be roasted. when it looks like wheat bread
and is both palatable and nutritious. Usu-
ally the fruit Is cut into three or four
slices and roasted or baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of a villa, join In
making huge oven, in which several hum
dred breadfruits may be baked at one time
Thus they are all supplied with bread with
out It's costing any of them much labor
Prepared in this way the bread will keep
for weeks.
The breadfruit is in season eigh, months
Of the year. When the season finally draws
10 d CLOSE the last II uits are gathered ana
made into sour paste called mabel"
This paste will keep good for months and Is
made into balls, wrapped in leaves and
baked, just as needed.
Bread is not the or'y product of the
breadfruit tree. From it cement. cloth,
finder and lumber are also obtained
glutinous. milky juice oozes from the trunk
Of the tree, which makes an excellent ce-
ment when boiled with cocoanut oil. From
the fibrous inner bark a kind Of coarse
cloth is made, and the big leaves make
good towels. The lumber Is used for build
ing houses and many other purposes. Be-
sides all this. the dried blossoms are used
as finder when fires are kindled.

When Rome Was Young.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Once more cherished traditions are sent
to the junk heap. All Of us have been
reared in the belief that somewhere about
1856 years before Christ Romulus (son or
, Rhea Silvia and Mars), along with his twin
brother Remus, was set afoat on the IlDer
to drown, that they landed in a cave and
were nourished by wolf, that they
founded a city, or rather Romulus did.
after dispatching his brother in most in
human manner, because he was able to
jump over the walls
Recent excavations on the Palatine Hill,
the original site of the city from which
the Romans went forth to steal the wives
of the Sabines, show that Romulus and
hemus were late corners; that there was
a city there ages before their appearance,
and this is proved by data that cannot be
disputed Those who have been to Rome
and seen the cave where the wolf nourish-
ed the boys and the statue of the wolf on
the Capitoline Hill. will feel discouraged.
1t seems as If we are not to be permitted
to believe anything which we learned In
youth. Italy seems to have had high
civilization hundreds of years before
Romulus, and apparently many thousands
This is interesting from an archaeolog-
ical and historical point Of view, but senti-
mentally it is not. What is the use of
feeding our imaginations with ancient
stories, which are certainly most delight
full only to find that they are intellectual
Apples of Sodom? For part we refuse,
In spite of patent facts. to believe In the
new learning. In spite Of all the evidence
that can be produced we shall continue to
have faith in the cave and the twins and
the wolf, and all the other fine stories
which have come down from ancient
times. If history teaches to the contrary.
then so much the worse for modern dis
cover!es in history. We will not give up
the wolf and her kindly care of the twins
in spite of all the archaeologists who have
ever lived,

MAKING VENEER.
An Exceptionally Interesting Indus
try in Lumber Centers.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
How veneer is manufactured is a mystery
to the majority of people. The industry IS
not only one OF the chief occupations OF
Nation. Wis, but exceptionally inter-
esting one also.
After a tree has been cut in the woods
and brought to the mill on fiat cars it is
rolled into pond near the mill. Logs are
hosted from the pond to a drag saw.
where they are cut into various lengths.
They are then put into a steam box for at
least twelve hours, in order to soften the
timber. This steam box is a large box d.
rectly behind the drag saw into which the
timber is piled. A two-inch pipe containing
holes through which the steam can escape
passes through this steam box. At the end
OF twelve hours the timber is removed
from the steam box and then comes the
process called peeling. With spuds and axes
the bark is removed easily for the timber

To enter the mill and be cut into veneer
The peeled log is hoisted on a crane to
the veneer lathe. and that is the last one
sees of the log. When it once passes this
lathe It comes out on the other side long
thin sheets of veneer. According to thick
ness desired. il IS cut from 1-1OCth of an
inch to one-half inch thick and siXty-four
inches long.
AS the veneer leaves the machine It
slides along table thirty feet in length.
Ten feet from the end is a clipper. where
1t is clipped into different widths an inch
being allowed for drying. 1t is now
ready to enter the drying process.
The drier is eight feet wide and a hun

rollers In order to heat this drier there
