and old and new friends, all upon pleasure
bent, are included in the big list.
Among the novel affairs of busy week
was a cooking tea" given by Mrs. James
E. Leach of Boston. Each guest was re-
ing" and to bring knife. plate, spoon and
fork. Upon assembling, the party was
divided into couples, partners being Sc
lected by lot-butterf1y caps provided for
the women. chef caps for the men, tiny
aprons for all and to each couple culinary
task assigned.
The ingredients necessary to produce
some astronomical delight with very
necessary recipe attached were next
furnished, and the fun began. Beef was
toes stuffed, sandwiches made. dessert
prepared and coffee brewed, after which
came a discussion of the good things.
A book party at the Berkshire inter-

FUEL FAMINE SITUATION.
Mr.. Hill Says Conditions Are 1mprov-
ing in the West.

ThA fuel famine situation in the north
west seems to be improving, according TO
a letter from JAS ]. Hill just received oy
the interstate commerce commission, Mr.
Hill wrote from New York and added a
postscript to say that the latest advices in
dicated another heavy snowfall but that
the temperature was more moderate, and
that with continuance of seasonabe
weather he thought the railroad situation
would be much improved shortly. The let
ter was addressed to Chairman Knapp and
said:
Il have Just received report from North
Dakota that all main and branch lines are
open and weather more moderate. Thirty
four loads of fuel and supplies have been
delivered on Hannah line. All trains NOV
ing fairly we'll Snow is drifting some In
several places, but not enough to obstruct
movement of trains. The extreme cold
weather seems to have let up, and II we
can have five or six days of reasonable
temperature I feel sure that we will be
able to take care of all points SO as to avert
any suffering.
"Herewith I inclose some photographs
taken along the line, which show the local
conditions and will give you to some extent
an idea of what we have to contend with.
Bearing in mind that the temperature has
been from 10 to 80 below zero for most of
the time for the past month, and lLgh
wind blowing, you can form some idea Of
what we have had to contend with. Yours
truly, JAS. j. HILL.
P. S-since writing above have report
of heavy snowfall in North. Dakota. Tenn

perature all lines will be opened quickly.

engines on the track, the big rotary snow
plows stalled in impenetrable drifts and
gangs of men neck deep in the cuts trying
to clear the tracks with shovels In some
of the pictures the tops of telegraph poles
barely show over the crest of the drifts,
and in others the crossing signals are buried

Altogether it was a decidedly interesting

where bounty of S. was paid by the au-
thorities for every head brought in by the
head hunters" said ]. ]. Medlin, now OF
Laramie, Wyo., but formerly Of Pata-
gonia.
THE head hunters up to six years ago
went out at regular intervals to hunt the
Terra del Fuegans and when they returned
with the heads the bounty was paid out
without any question. This tribe OF peo-
pie are lower than the dogs and had to
be exterminated for the safety of the more
civilized people. The bounty was taken OF
about six years ago, and now there are no
head hunters. Some of the former hunt
ers still continue their slaughter. but it is
frowned on by the decent people.
'sThe climate around laramie, Wyo., is
pretty much the same as the winter climate
of Patagonia. The summer climate of that
region, however, Is pretty much the same
as we are given to understand the climate
of hades Is all the year round.
1.-THE ordinary tribes of natives are gentle
and as honest as the general run of people
In South America.
Some day there will be a big rush to
Terra del Fuego, or the Land of Fire, as
the country near the Straits OF Magellan is
called. There is plenty of placer gold there
and plenty of rich quartz. Several parties

We do not want cheap labor. We want
well-paid labor. We desire not only we'll
paid labor, but want that labor steadily

When Fairbanks first came to Washing
ton he had much more influence than the
average senator. He was very close to
President Mckinley He had charge of
| the Mckinley campaign before the nomi-
mating convention and every district in the
state declared for the Ohio man. He was a
delegate at large to and temporary chair
man at the st. Louis convention, and was
responsible for the sound money plank in
the platform as against the democratic 16
to 1. During the campaign no man worked
harder for the success of the republican
ticket than he. and afterward, when he had
been sent to the United State Senate, no
one was more ardent supporter of the ad-
| ministration than he. At the second con-
vention which named Mckinley, Fairbanks
represented his state and was chosen chair
man of the committee on resolutions He
was at the bedside of Mckinley after he
was shot. and. only left there when If was
thought Mckinley would recover, to ad-
dress Thanksgiving service of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Cleveland Ohio.
Barely had he finished his speech when
word was received that Mckinley was
dead.
Political Conditions.
Mr.. Fairbanks preferred to remain in the
chair. Many of his friends advised him
! to decline the place. but he refused to do
! this. holding that the position was an i'm
portant one and that the filing of it was a
matter that could only be considered in the
light of public duty.
The position that Vice President Fair
banks is in today is considered by astute
politicians to be about like this: The old
Hanna machine is still practically in force
in most of the states which he controlled.
Roosevelt has done little or nothing to
build up a machine, and has very small
following among the men who dominate
conventions. The Fairbanks machine in
| Indiana is stronger than it ever was, Bev-
eridge being completely routed at his re-
cent attempt to gain control of it. In
| Ohio Foraker holds the politicians with
no uncertain hand. In Illinois, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Iowa the feeling is considered
strong for Foraker. Cannon, Foraker
and Penrose favor him. 1t Is said the
program will be to at first bring forth the
favorite son of the various state Of the
middle west. which Is now conceded to be
the central fighting ground, and after that
to throw the combined strength to Fair
banks. AS the matter now looks Fair
banks is master Of the situation.
