SIGN A FAST ONE.
Cooley Gets HoIycross. Hard Hitting
Indian Outfielder.

A deal which has been on between
the Topeka team and the South Bend
team of the Central league was cul-
minated today, and by the deal Topeka
secures the services of Pearl Holycross,
an outflelder and a pitcher of marked
ability. Holycross will play the out
field for the local team during the com
ing season. though should he be needed
as a pitcher he will be used in the
box
Holycross played last season with the
South Bend team. He played in the
outfield, taking part in 81 games dur
ing his stay with the South Bend team
His batting average during this time
was .S05 and in fielding he made but
two errors. He was considered one OF
the top notchers in the outfield roster
of the Central league.
HolycrOSS was originally a pitcher
and only few years ago was consid-
cred one of the best minor league
pitched for the New York American
leaguers under Clark Griffith. Like
many other pitchers. though his batting
proved much too valuable to club own
ers for him to remain In the box and
he was sent to the outfield where he has
played now for three or four years
The new outfe1der of the Topeka
team is a part Indian and like all In
dians is fast on the bases. He has al
ways ranked high in the matter of sto-
len bases. From his record he will be
about the best man in the local out
field and will be as good an outfielder
as there is in the league. With good
batting and fielding averages and with
his record on bases and a throwing
arm that has always been good, the
new outfielder certainly looks like a
prize for Cooley. A contract has al
ready been received from him which
insures his playing with Topeka next
season
With Wooley. Holycross and Land
reth in the outfield this part of the
team looks pretty strong. All the men
are good hitters, fast fielders and will
make a ombination hard to beat.
Hurlburt and Siekmeyer are still under
reserve, though they will probably be
turned loose.

 A very significant fact is that most of the more important republican con ferences occur at Oyster Bay. Pres ident Roosevelt appears to be in full command of the Taft campaign, while Candidate Taft is playing golf or pre- pairing for fishing trips. We doubt whether any federal administration ever before took so active and con- spicuous part in presidential cam paign. The president is clearly guilty Of the 'pernieious activity" which is forbidden to Federal office holders under the civil service rules.-Bridge- port Farmer.

Twenty-Five years ago, the first Brooklyn bridge gave the engineer s earliest answer to the traffic problem to which the ferries were no longer adequate and became one of the modern wonders of the world. To- day there are four bridges built or building, each of the new ones far surpassing in size and capacity that pioneer structure, and there is, be, sides, the tunnels under the East and North rivers which were opened to the public early this year. Of the bridges, the newest and the greatest in traffic capacity is the Manhattan bridge, which after years of delay over the plans is now being hurried to completion to help take the pressure of the existing ave- nues of travel. The Manhattan structure stands as the latest and most advanced embodiment of the suspension bridge, while as a traf- fic channel it possesses, or will pos sess when completed, the greatest capacity of any bridge yet built. That is the main purpose for which It has been designed. to allow the passage of as many cars, vehicles and foot passengers as engineering skill can make room for within the limits of the approved design. In total length over all, including ap- breaches, from Canal street in Man hattan to Nassau street in Brooklyn the Manhattan bridge measures 6.S55 feet approximately one and five-sixteenths miles) as against the 1900 feet of the Williamsburg bridge. Its main span is 1,450 feet long and the two side spans are each 725 feet The total length of the spans is thus 2,90O feet. The main span of the Williamsburg bridge is 1.6O0 feet, the longest suspension span in the world. and that of the old Brooklyn bridge is 1895 feet.

The weighing of the mail at the local postOffice for the purpose of fix ing the rate of transportation for the railroad companies will start one minute after midnight. which means early tomorrow morning. The pe- riod during which each incoming and outgoing mail will be weighed is in- definite. It may extend over a month or six weeks and then again may be completed in two weeks. It will de- pend on orders from headquarters.
 The work is done under the direc- tiOl of the postmaster or under his sworn representative. Four copies of each daily report are made. one being kept at the local office and the other three sent to Edward J. Ryan. the superintendent of the railway mail service.

This estimate is based upon the unconserved flow. or such volume as Is available during nine mont's of an ordinarily dry year: in Gther words, il is the estimate in accordance with the present day practice of ascertaining the available power output of a stream.

Practical Citizenship" Is the title of volume just issued and in it the writer has the following para. graph about real citizenship: The idea that citizenship means simply voting is in itself as entirely erron- eous as the idea that Christianity means going 10 church on Sunday morning and one evening a week. These exercises are infnitesimal parts Of the entire subject. The man who goes 10 church on Sunday and weighs out II ouncas to th- pound on Monday. or makes a dis graceful political deal on Tuesday, or grinds the face of the poor all the rest of the week. or. in fact. does anything unmanIv. lacks the proper understandings of the word Christianity. and has substituted for il the word 'churchianfty.
 which. while f may he perfectly harmless in itself. is a dangerous substitute for the real article. And the man who thinks that Citfzenshfp means to drop a bit of paper into box on certain day. or 10 move few levers oH a machine and then go svsy. makes the same mistake as does his church confrers.

The success of Congressman Lil- ley in the preliminary skirmishes in Connecticut, the loud howls sent forth by disgruntled republicans in consequence thereof and the clash threatened between such leading re- publicans as Brandegee, Mclean. Buckley and others has alarmed the members of the national committee, and so it should. It isn't going to take much more of this sort of busi- ness to make Connecticut a demo> cratic state, back in the fold once more, where it belongs. It is pret- ty generally conceded that Lilley will have a hard time of it, if he is nominated, but when the chances of Taft have been imperilled, the men who are looking out for his inter, ests have begun to take notice.

A half cut over or storm beaten hillside forest looks hungry in the dry summer time. It looks tempt ing, too, to the fire fiend, and no doubt there is such being. With the forest ready and the spirit of fire waiting, all that is needed to preclpltate a struggle for the mas tery Is. spark from a passing loco- motive or from the pipe of care- less camper, says a writer who de- sires the preservation of our forests. A thousand sparks may fall upon the canopy of green leaves made by living trees and die without doing harm. But let one fall in the dead underbrush or the heap of limbs and twigs left to season in clearing made by timber cutters and you have forest fire which has no par. allel in swift developmen except the prairie fire. It was only a passing spark landing in the dry brush of the lumber clearing which started the recent fire in British Columbia that cost S10,000,000 and destroy ed scores of lives It is an easy matter for lumber and wood cut ters to dispose of the twigs and limbs which they do not want wheh they take away the trunks of trees. They can be so piled as to be con- bustible when the forest is too wet to take fire and even when snow is on the ground. With very little ex> tra trouble they can be burned while green or as soon as cut. No wood- man will go without fire just be- cause the trees are in verdure and their limbs running sap. It would be cheaper in the long run to burn brush when it is made than wait for the rowing spark to start a destruc> tive forest fire.

ARRoR DAY PROCLAMATION.

There has never been in the history
Of the world such widespread interest
in forest culture. To save their vine
wards and orchards, France and Italy
are now reforesting their water sheds,
while in our own land the best au-
thorities claim that in 25 years our
forests will be exhausted. The rapidly
disappearing forests have caused our
government to set aside as national
forest reserves large tracts of timber
which are under the care and super
vision of the government.
Our state should not be behind the
times in this great movement. Ours
is a prairie state, an agricultural
state, and the influence of trees and
forests in producing and conserving
moisture, in breaking winds and in
tempering the climate, is well known.
North Dakota does not need forests
for lumber and fuel alone, but it needs
forests also for the great benefit that
they are to agriculture.
Therefore, for the purpose of en-
couraging the planting and cultiva-

Clean chopstioks Sure.

Seeing these quill toothpicks done
up in paper envelopes in the hotels
here" said the man from the far east,
reminds me of the Japanese eating
places. In the bigger hotels or restau-
rants they hand you the chopsticks
done up in sealed envelope. This is
with the idea of convincing you that
they never have been used before,
which is not always so. In the cheap
er restaurants they have much bet
ter plan for setting your mind at rest.
There you get a piece of wood as
broad as two chopsticks split to with
in an inch Of one end. When you take
this piece of wood you split it the rest
of the way, and there you have the
two sticks. You can be sure then that
no other person has used them."-New
