Major Comstock possesses a
tide acquaintance among prom
pent men and there has been a
recession of visitors all summer
b his hospitable home. The lat
st visitors were G. Z. VanLoan,
f the Denver Post, and "A. l..

ne of Hearst's papers. The fol-
bwing is from VanLoan's write up
b the Denver Post:
There are several Saratogas in

bnly one of them is noted for
both, and this is Saratoga. Wyo "A

season. Perhaps it was only 266;
| have always had a poor memory
for figures.
In our party was a man from
Chicago. All he knew of Wyom-
ing had been gathered from a cas-
nal inspection of the truthful tales
of Owen Wister-which is a pref
ty good way to get a line on Wyo-
ming from a distance. What he
knew about trout fshing-well,
let that pass. At first he was in
clined to tell about the great trout
fishing in the California noun
tains, but after he had listened to
a few tales from Earl Comstock
and Badly Sisson he found there
was no opening for an amateur
Munchausen.
Mr.. Comstock welcomed the
visitors at depot. On his arm he
carried a large basket full of fine
fresh trout with the sheen of the
water still on their notified sides.
The man from Chicago caught his
breath.
Where did YOU get those fish"
he demanded.
Oh said Mr.. Comstock, with
airy nonchalence, 81 just stopped
under the bridge on the way down
to the train and snapped out a few
for your lunch. How do you like
our city?"
But the man from Chicago had
swallowed the hook.
"Under the BRIDGE" he repeat
ed. why, that's right in town
herer'
"Su u-ure!" said Mr.. Comstock,
easily. "We often snap out TWEEN
ty-five pounds of fish before break
fast. That is when We cant spare
the time to go up or down the
river where the fishing is really
good. 1t used 10 be better. but
all the kids in town are fishing
there at this time of the year and
l only got about eighteen in half
an hour"
'.Eighteen-in-h alf-an-hour!'
calculated the mar from Chicago.
Then, slowly, "And he says that
isn't really good fishing! When
do we start?"
"Oh, some time after lunch"
said Comstock.
Two hours yet" groaned the
man from Chicago. "Why waste
all that timer"
We missed him shortly before
noon and a search of the town
ended in his discovery under the
bridge in the middle of the town,
industriously failing the water
with some flies which had been
highly recommended.
"They must have stopped bit
ing" said he, sorrowfully, when
We dragged him away to the hotel.
Mr.. Comstock, who is blessed
with a long, sad face and can tell
a Joke or string n tenderfoot with
out a telltale twinkle, explained
that the trout took a full two
hours for incoming.
That afternoon we drove out
with Badly Sisson 10 see if all the
wonderful stories about the Sara
toga trout fishing were true. The
man from Chicago who had come
over 1900 miles to whip that par
ticular stream, was first into the
water, and inside of five minutes a
joyful yell and a dipping of the
rod indicated that there was some
thing doing in his quarter. That
fish got away. He a a leaper
aud managed to shake the hook
out of his mouth. Badly Sisson
then waded in and took three out

from Chicago marveled.

It an absolute necessity, the aver

by the large number of phones

he was not in when we got there it
meant another trip to some other
physician. Today we reach his res
idence by phone in few seconds

one in the same length of time, thus
saving valuable time and allowing
us to remain at home. We find we

have goods deliver to us without

bad weather the telephone proves to
be the housewives best friend. One

calls 1t "her friend on the wall"
Our most distant friends are always
within call and in case of need can
be summoned at a minutes notice.
AS. a social aid the telephone is so

informal affairs would be difficult.
The business man already knows
the value OF telephone to him and
Il is not a question OF having a telo-
phone but a reliable telephone that
interests him. Many important
deals are now closed daily over the
telephone and important matters in
volving thousands OF dollars are de-
cided after conference over the
phone between two men who may

SCORES INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGES
Mr. McGavin Pays His Respects to So

Washington Jan 2S-Internatonal marriages of
American heresses to titled foreigners were de-
nounced on the floor Of the House Of Representa-
1ives to-day by Mr.. McCiavin, of illinois, who

PERFECTING DRAINAGE SCHEMES.
Private and State Lands May Be Conveyed
to the Nation for Reclamation
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington Jan. 2S.-Friends of the drainage
bills introduced in both houses of Congress hope
there will vet be passed at this session some bill
not open to the objections urged against those now
on the calendar. The difficulty has been to ar
range some plan for drainage of state and private
lands which will inevitably be involved in any ma
tional drainage scheme Senators Flint, Latimer
and CIapp each has a measure in the Senate and
the three have been meeting recently with repre-
sentatives of the reclamation service to consider
what could be done to perfect their bills.
II has been decided, virtually. that the only way
II, which the government carry on reclamation
of swamp lands is TO have private and state lands
convened TO the nation. Certain lands have been
conveyed by the government to the states on the
understanding that they should be drained and re-
claimed. Where such agreement has not been kept
II js nrposed to have the lands reconveyed 10 the
national government Private owners may be in
drced 10 convey their swamp lands TO the govern
mont with the understanding that, when drained
not tn exceed I60 acres per individual snail be
ret 1rned ali in of that quantity to be sold
and the proceeds less the cost of reclamation re-
turned to the former 1t is not Intended that
the government shall exact any profit for its WORK
The details of this plan are not yet worked out
bnt il is so far along that it is expected the
amended bill can be introduced next week Win
the full approval and backing of ali interests
affected.

ing spring at Rome the headquarters of the inst-
tute. He also asks for appropriation of $500

The Italian Ambassador has informed the State
Department that twentyfour countries are now pay
ing their share in the establishment Of the insti-
tute. which started at the international con-
vention AZ Rome in June, 1906. At that time the
United States, through the American Ambassador,
informed the italian government that 1t wished To
placed in the fTst group of nations whose quota
for the support of the institute is $4,000.
This appropriation, the Secretarys letter says
was voluntarily made by Congress, and because OF
the possibility Of the institute coming into existence
during the fiscal year 1908, the State Department
included this in its estimates last year Con-
