fact that the reception which precedes
the banquet is quite distinct from the
latter and is open to the public. There

Taft can be, and that the possibil-
ity of his losing that state is a neg
ligible quantity.
The Tribune forecast of the cleo
tion of house members is that the
repu blicans will elect 214 and the
democrats 1877. The majority
would not be so large as in the
present house, but it would be
sufficient. An extremely large
majority has its drawbacks.
Possibly the republicans will
fail to elect the governor of one
and another important state. The
situation is so complex and uncer-
tain that positive statements would
be unwise. But if the national
election were to be held today Mr..
Taft would be chosen president
with a republican congress to work
with him. Chicago Tribune.

Because the who is of job will find it i'm

Because Mr. Bryan with hi. kaleidoscope views. will

A "Hollar" From Indiana.

John Shawhan has friend liv-
ing at Williston, N. D. His name
is Holler and he is a typical nor
wester. When he goes fishing
none but the little ones fall back
and the crops grown in that Sec
tion are simply enormous, so
large in fact that the ground is
titled only every other year. 1t
requires the odd year to haul
away the grain grown the previous
year. Holler tried his hand at
growing potatoes this year. Ac-
cording to his letter to his friend
Shawhan the potatoes we're sent to
market on flatcars, three potatoes
making load. He explains that
four potatoes might be placed on
a car, but the railroad company
objects to overlooking the rolling
stock. Shawhan drew picture
of the potatoes of the kind Hollar
thought he had, and sent it to
him. A last issue of the Graphic,
the local paper, contains repro
duction of the pen and ink draw
ing and it is making Williston ia

ileve the potato story.-The Tip

that q tremendous fight is being
made on Governor Hughes in

time he believes it will fail, just
as the campaign which was made
against him failed in 1898.

in view of the governors efforts

behind the governor and polls and
straw votes which showed the

In the contingency of sudden

would be vltiated. There are no
symptoms of such landslide, and
as the Tribune sees it now Mr..
Taft, who needs only 242 electo-
rial votes, will get 295 to 1873 for
Bryan. Its possible that Mr.. Taft
may have more, for q slight allow
ance has been made where overen-
thusiasm was suspected. Even If
sufficient allowance should not
have been made, it remains true
that Mr.. Bryan cannot be elected

these last two states were set aside
from land naturally destitute of trees,
that the government might try forest
planting on them, Il will probably sur
prise most people that they should

National forest business is chiefly of
three kinds. grazing, timber sales, and
special uses; the latter comprising the
use of the lesser resources of the for
ests and the permits involving the de-
velopment Of water power. IL is in
teresting TO note the states in which
the largest volume of each of these
three kinds of business is done and
study the causes which make their
revenues correspondingly larger.
Montana, California and Colorado
lead in timber sales. In the case of
Montana and California this fact is
mainly due to the accessibility of the
timber In the national forests. The
fact that the timber can be readily
reached and quickly transported to
market has created a heavy demand
which is reflected in the volume of
business. Colorado Is almost absolute
ly dependent upon the national forest
timber for its mining operations. Each
of these states will receive over $780,

A TERRAPIN FARM

to every small boy In the country, as
well as many of his elders, to add Mr..
Terrapin to his available assets when
ever and wherever he has the temerity
to show himself
So great has been the raid on the
terrapin in all our inland waters in
recent years that experts say that, un-
less something can be done to renew
the supply and restock the streams, it
will be but comparatively few years
before a Pennsylvania terrapin will
be as rare as violets in December.
In an effort to avert this catas-
trophe In turtledom. Commissioner
Meehan instructed Supt. Jerry Il. Birk-
hous, of the state hatchery at Torres
dale, TO start some experiments with
these hard-shelled. highly priced river
dwellers, and see IL the state can re-
stock its waters with terrapin as it has
done so successfully with fish.
Thus 1t happens that some score or
more OF the biggest and healthiest
members of the family of terrapin are
living a life of ease and luxury in
probably the most sumptuous and aris-
tocratic surroundings that ever fell to
the lot of members of the race OF

lected with the utmost care from the
best streams in the state, and are sup
posed to be of just about the right ago
for propagation. II care and attention
can bring results. the fruits of the de-
partment's efforts ought to be most
gratifying, for no herded stock OF
king was ever tended and nursed and
fed with more solicitude than Supt.
Birkhous bestows upon these lucky
turtles.
A visit to the Torresdale hatchery is
full of interest. The location itself is
picturesque and historic. Situated
just beyond the big city filtration
plant on the banks of the river, the
hatchery occupies what was once
known as the Harrison estate, in it's
day one of the show places of the Del
aware and the site of the noted Har-
rison spring. On these grounds is now
located "Terrapin Farm" while thou.

their farm on the Harrison estate
most certainly find their lines cast in
pleasant places. Inside their inclos-
ure is everything to make a turtle
happy-the deepest pools, the mud

warmest and sandiest kind of a sand
bank for use as sun parlor.
This is perhaps the first attempt
ever made to breed terrapin for stock.
