POLITICAL NoNDEscRiPTs.

Under the heading Who Goes
There?'' the Norfolk Virsinian-Pilot
discusses "a band of political monde
acripts which bears about the same
relation to the Republican and Dem
ocratic armies as the Jesse Scouts
did to the opposing hosts in the Val
ley" The virginiansP says that
such a band exists In this section,
and, while Newport News probably
was not contemplated by the writer
there are a plenty of nondescripts on
this side of Hampton Roads
Almost every day one hears a re-
mark to the effect that some prom
fnent citizen, always regarded as
s.sstaunch Democrat is going to vote
for Taft this year Inquiry into these
reports usually brings to light the
fact that the "staanch Democrat" re-
ferYed to has never voted the Dem
ocrat ticket In a national election in
his life. Such men are Republicans,
and they do the Democratic party
more harm than opponents who do
not divide their time between camps.
There are here quite number OF
men who always vote the Republican
sfacket in national and Congressional
sesections. and yet participate actively
IN local campaigns As Democrats.
Enough there are some notable ex-
ss6Dtions, as rule these men are
aBeree, about telling how they vote
- President, and quite frequently

~ Aas suffered a loss.
The line between Republicans and
in.mocrats should be more clearly

SENATE RAISES THE APPRoPRIA
TioN FROM $500, 100 TO
100000.
OPPONENTS BEATEN
HOUSE PASSES THE MokpElL
BILL ENLARGINo THE HOME
srEADs OF DRY FARMERS.

Washington.-Oppo Of the for,
estry system in the Senate received q
decided setback Monday when by a
yea and nay vote the Senate doubled
the appropriation provided by the
House and reported by the Senate
committee on agriculture for perma'
nent improvements in forest reserves.
The amount stated in the bill. which
has been before the Senate for four
days past. was 100000. and deter
mined effort was made by Senators
Hepburn. Teller, Clark and Carter to
have this amount stricken from the
bill.
1t was defended by Senators War
rem. Smoot, Dixon, Flint, Dolliver and
Beveridge, and today when the bill
was on final passage, Dixon of Mon
tana offered an amendment raising the
amount to 81 100000, making an effect
i've ten-minute speech In support Of his
amendment. which was adopted by a
vote of 36 to 49,
Senator Hepburn denounced the ac-
tion Of the Senate as absurd and out
rageous, but the amendment prevailed
regardless of his protest.
During the proceedings Senator
Warren. in charge of the bill. arranged
for Introduction by Fulton of Oregon
of an amendment giving the states
twenty-five per cent. of the proceeds
Of forest sales and rentals. instead of
ten per cent. as heretofore. and &c.
cepted the amendment for the commit.
tee, and 1t was SO adopted.
After brief debate the House to-
day passed the Mondell dry farm
bill. permitting the homesteading of
not to exceed 800 acres OF non-irri.
gable. non-mineral and non-timbered
public lands. The bill was in charge
of Chairman Mondell of the public
lands committee, who made the prin-
cipal speech in its support.
Other western members advocated
its passage, including Bonynge of
Colorado. To facilitate its ultimate
passage the House committee retained
the title of the smoot bill which
passed the Senate some time ago, but
substituted the provisions of Mondell
for those of the bill adopted by the
Senate. Because of this change the
bill will be sent to a conference COM
mittee for final adjustment.
AS 1t passed the House 1t requires
residence upon the land and also re-
quires proof that one-eighth of the
acreage was cultivated the second
year and one-fourth the third year and
thereafter up to the time of making
final proof.

Tacoma, Wash.-Washing gold is
now in progress in Alaska and British
Yukon gold mining camps. The Yu.
kon river opened last Friday in front
of Dawson and navigation will soon be
in full swing.
This will be the busiest season ever
known to the Yukon and its tributa,
ries. During the last six months strikes
have been made that are comparable in
importance to those OF the Klondike.
Tanana and Nome. This years produc.
ton of Alaska alone will probably
reah 925 100000 making it certain that
this year Alaska will lead all American
states and territories in gold produc.
tion.
This years output is thus estimated:
Tanana and tributaries. 315,OOO,O 900;
Nome and Seward peninsula, $4,000.

Christian Association health farm a.
EdHewater. six miles from Denver, will
take on new life and be pushed TO its
capacity. The health farm has become
to be considered one Of the most i'm
portant departments OF the association
The institution at Edgewater is ths
only one of its kind in the United
States and has for its mission the
furnishing Of place where members
may recuperate. Tubercular patients
have been given place to recover
more rapidly, and the other men IL
broken health have the doors of the
farm open to them. During the past
hvs years OF its existence 42S men
have come under Its care. The Eastern
associations have assisted very much
In its paintenance, having sent many
young men here and have gone down
In their pockets to make up the yearly
shortage occasioned by the low rates
During the time that there has been
no general secretary at the farm the
committee of management has institu'
ted q policy OF retrenchment, cutting
down the number of men at the place
one-half. One OF the first matters to
receive attention under the new secre
tary will be the filing UP Of the camp
to its fullest capacity, which is fifty
men.
The crying need at the present time
is for extra bathing facilities. The com.
mittee are now making their plans to
enlarge in this connection and to pro
vide additionally for administration
purposes. To this end 1t Is contsm
plated to erect a new building on the
ground to cost about $4,000. Thia
building will contain, among other
things. physician's once and labora
