Production and distribution have not proceeded in we'll ordered fash ion in all departments of our nation al life. and congestion has conse- ouently followed says Banker Clews. What we need is raadjustment, and a toning down of excessive activities, which have resulted in lifting values to unreasonable and unstable levels. This process of sobering or readjust- ment which we are now passing through has been accomplished py the most natural of forces-a tight ening of the purse strings. We call this liauidation: and it is doubtful if it has yet run its course. In spite of the recent rally lower prices are still expected for stocks, and ere long we may witness some diminished ac- tivitv in certain departments of in dustry and possibly diminution or purchasing abilities-not merely owing to higher prices, but also to the sobering effect of reactionar! tendencies.

HOW MOOSE IS sTALKED.
It Is Easy to Creep Up on Big Bull
 in Canoe.

It is a very easy matter, requiring little skill but silence, to glide along in the twilight or moonlight, keeping the canoe in the shadow of bordering trees. until, when rounding the point. the great amorphous bulk of moose looms large in the middle distance.
 If old at the game. it is no trick to steal forward each time his head goes under water in search of the tender roots. until within easy range. says a writer in Recreation. Thus have ad- vanced until forced to stop for safety's sake. for bull moose is not an animal to be trifled with. know of two fel- lows who. only last fall. paid for their curiosity with a narrow escape. It was before the season opened. They were out at dusk in their canoe, float ing along some yards from shore, and on rounding point saw moose short distance ahead. They were un- armed, but felt no fear. for they ex- pected every second that the beast would turn and make off into the woods. Nearer and nearer they glided until with the rush of an avalanche he was upon them. There was noth- ing for it but to dive into the water and swim, which they did, reaching safety on the opposite bank. After smashing the frail canoe into pieces. the moose calmly went ashore and disappeared in the woods.

AVERAGE LEGISLATURE.
Bungling. Gooddhearted Amateurs,
 With a Leavening of Crooks.

The legislature couldn't make one good law in three months, let alone three thousand without turning in some direction for aid and counsel. Our well-meaning farmers, and gro cerymen. and manufacturers, are probably endowed with that profound ignorance of basic problems which comes out in the form of loud con tempt for science and theory But now they are in the language of the committee room. up against 1t. They have got to make three thou- sand laws in three months. without much of an idea, in some cases, of what the blessed things are all about. X good many of our farming and manufacturing friends would really like to make good laws; but proba- bly, not one of them is competent to draw a bill that will hold together. To make it worse, these laws, good or mad will come down forcibly on every man. woman and child in the state.
 In view of this fact-that the leg islature, made up of bungling. good hearted amateurs with leavening of crooks. is bound to turn out just about so many laws anyway--do we citizens. the real interests most vitally affected by the mass of legis- lation. take any adequate measures either to put in abler men, or to sup ply accurate and thorough-going in- formation as a basis for the legisla- tion? Not at all. We send our legis- lators down to the capitol. and go on. serenely vague. about what we like to call ''our business" The snaifs on the thorn. Gods ill his Heaven. all's right with the world. And mean while the attorneys for the railroad and the public service" company. and the big brewers and manufactur- CTS are drawing up bills which our farming friends don't understand. and are crowding them through with doubtful statistics and spacious req soning which our farming friends may question. but which they have neither the time nor the resources to dispute.

of 640,0O0 acres occupied in short time by the whites. There was an other partitioning year ago. The In- dians were allotted small parcels of land h two counties. They had to give up their old tribal forms and take on some of the incidents of civiliza- tion. Their lands were allotted to them in severalty, and thereby they became freemen. The supreme court of the United States has passed on that point. So, in the recent threat ened war, the United States soldiers would have dealt, not with an Indian uprising, but with United States re- bellion.
 There were once 25,000 members of the Ute family, which numbered in the recent trouble not more than 200 warriors. When Gen. John c. Ere mont crossed the plains in 1s41 the Utes numbered about 1S,000. In four years of war with the Comanches they had lost five times as many warriors as went on the recent march.
 From 1860 to 1865 the United States had continual trouble with the Utes. At the time of the building of the Union Pacific railroad in 1S66-7 the Utes massacred many white men in an attempt to drive back civilization. Hundreds of Utes were killed. Small pox spread among them. and by 1876 the tribe which had once contested the plains with the Comanches and Apaches numbered about 5000.
 The last conference of the Utes with a Great White Father occurred a short time ago. It had to do with another opening of their reservation. Appah. Red Cap and other White river Utes would not consent to the plans of President Roosevelt. They and their followers. remembering the words of Red Cloud. took their wom. en, children. ponies and arms and started for Wyoming. but the Indian commissioner was not uneasy about the outcome of the exodus. especially as the lands which they sought in Wyoming were part of the national park system.
 When the Utes were persuaded a few weeks ago to go to the South Da kota fort. pending a conference in Washington, they were allowed tc keep all their arms and ammunition To-day they have incomparably bet ter arms and immeasurably less land and power than their primitive an cestors.
 It is as Chief Ignacio has said: Ute Indian no more big and strong Ute all gone. By-and-by there be n, more Ute Indian White man get all Great White Bear Hunter do what h, can for us-'

Orders have been given by the Panama canal commission for the collection of samples of sand, dirt and gravel. from along the line Of the big ditch and in other points m the canal zone with view to having them analysed in this country to see whether there may not be con- siderable amount of gold and other valuable minerals dug out in the construction of the canal. An enort is being made to secure an appropria- tion of $5,0O0 to have these analysis made at the Jamestown exposition where the government is now put ting up its apparatus for the analy- sis of black sand" This black sand work has been carried on for two years past at Portland, Ore, and has proyed of immense value, allow ing the separation at a very small cost of gold, platinum, iron ore, zir- con and a number of the rarer min erals from ground hitherto consid- cred worthless. It has always been known that there was gold on the Isthmus of Panama. There are good having placers that have been work ed for fifty years in Nicaragua, north of the canal zone, and there are all most equally good gold fields to the south. Old records show that there were once profitable placer workings at the very summit of the great Cule- bra and if the government finds 1t possible to recover this gold at small expense it may go far toward de- fraying the cost of the canal. The commission is not saying much about the investigation. but it is being car ried on nevertheless and should 1t prove that there is bonanza in val uable minerals along the line of the proposed canal. but the Republic of Panama and the old French Con- struct.on company will have every reason to be very sorry that they ever sold out the United States.

MIR, RILEY DID NOT KNOW. Woman Reporter Asked Question Hard
 to Answer.

A friend of James Whitcomb Riley tells story of an encounter the bach. elor poet once had with woman re. porter. The energetic young woman after strenuous effort had finally caught Mir. Riley at the telephone. This is the conversation that fol lowed:
 'Is this MT. Riley?"
 "Yes. That is Miss"
 Miss Jones, of the Courier-Journal I've been trying all day to get an in terview with you, MT. Riley"
 "Ah, would it were view instead of an interview" said the poet, gal. lantly.
 "Oh, thanks. How long will yoi remain in Louisville, Mir. Riley?'
 "Only a short time."
 "Is your wife with you?"
 No, ma'a am, she is not.
 "Where is she, may I ask?"
 You may ask, my dear Miss Jones, but I find 1t very difficult to answer I am in absolute ignorance of her whereabouts. For aught I know to the contrary, she may right now be at the other end of this telephone!"
 There was much laughter, and after ward an effort to resume the inter view. But in vain. MT. Riley had es caped.-Home Companion.
