FOREST COMMISSION N WEST.

When Governor Folk of Missouri
announced on the second day of the
White House conference that his first
act on returning to his home state
would be to appoint a state forestry
commission, the applause that greeted
the announcement indicated very plain
ly the intense interest that has been
aroused in the question of general
conservation. In a short, though very
forcible talk, Governor Folk admitted
that until recently he had been but lit
tie interested in the idea of forest con-
servation; he added, however, that
since coming to Washington and list
ening to the statements made at the
conference, he had come to a very
lively appreciation of the necessity for
conservation and reforestation, and
therefore his first official act on re
turning to st. Louis would be the ap-
pointment OF a state forestry commits.
sion.
Governor Folks announcement was
followed by a simila announcement
from Governor Toole of Montana, and
the urgent Recommendation was made
by both OF these speakers, as well as
by many other members of the con
ference, that a forestry commission be
appointed in every state represented
in the conference, which has not al
ready such a commission.-Wyomint

LANDER GUN CLUB AGiTATiNG
BETTER GAME LAWS

The members of the Lander gun
club are already discussing the need
OF better laws for the protection of
game and fish. especially the latter,
says the Wyoming State Journal.
Most of the members are enthusiastic
sportsmen and they do not want to
see the fishing and hunting ruined.
They say that more fish are dragged
out OF the streams through holes In
the ice In the winter eason than are
caught with rod and fly in the sum
mer.
All agree that there should be a clos
ed season on trout fishing during the
spawning season. The Colorado law
permits trout fishing from June 1st to
Sept. LIST and many good sportsman be-
lleve that Wyoming should have q
similar provision in the game laws.
The local club may also take up the
matter OF stocking this section with
the common Bob White quail and Mon
golian pheasants. two game birds that
should do as we'll here as they have In
Colorado where they YER introduced
a few years ago.

PLANS CHANGED AS

The county commissioners, in ses-
sion today, received a telegram from
Chief Quartermaster D. Z. Mccarthy
of Omaha, stating that the depart
ment had decided to change the sup
ply point of the Fort Russell maneuver
camp in the Grow creek forest re-
serve, from Islay on the Colorado and
southern, to Dale creek, on the Union
Pacific, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
The commissioners have been consid-
ering plans to construct a county road
from Islay for the convenience OF the
.teamsters, troops and visitors to the
camp, and in spite of the change of
base this plan will be continued. On
Sunday next the commissioners and
the county surveyor will take a trip
from Islay to the maneuver camp and
will lay out a road which will make
more convenient the journeys Of auto
mobiles and other c~onveyances from
Cheyenne to the camp, the best wa
gon route to the camp from Cheyenne
being by way Of Islay.

oREGoN's PECULIAR SITUATION

Oregon, a republican state, is likely
TO have a democratic United States
senator, although the majority in the
legislature is republican. BY their
peculiar election laws in Oregon, the
people are given the privilege of ex'
pressing their choice for senator and
the legislature in this particular in
stance stands pledged by signed agree
ments to choose the man named by the
people. The new senator will be Gov,
G.. h. Chamberlain, q very popular man
and one who has been twice elected
governor.
Probably n of the reasons for the
great popularity of Chamberlain, or
rather for his selection at this time, is
the fact that Oregon has had a great
deal OF graft and her representatives
in congress during the past four or
five years have been mixed up In
questionable and extremely shady
transactions. Senator Mitchell, now
dead, was connected in such a man
ner with land frauds that he was tried
and convicted by a jury of his peers in
his own state. Binger Hermann, q
representative in congress and at one
time commissioner OF the general land
office, was tried for alleged maladmin'
istration of anairs in the land depart
ment. One other representative was
also connected with shady work, leav-
ing the people OF Oregon to believe
that 1t was time to make a cleaning
out of the men who had been looking
after petty graft and fraud to the det'
riment of their usefulness to the com
monwealth.
If the Oregon Legislature stands by its
prediction pledge, it will follow the
lead of Kentucky, and send to the
senate a man opposite in politics from
that OF the Legislature. If it does not
do so, there will be no end to the polit'
ical howl that will roll over Oregon.
'vox populi o Del" will be the Mace
DOMAIN cry.

known victims there were only seven

| already has surpassed that of the Ben
ders' butcheries.
The parallelism Of the two affairs is
| otherwise remarkable. The circum.
| stances of the earlier were as follows
In 1871 a family Of four came over
from Germany and opened a small
store on the country road which runs
rom independence, Kas, to the Usage
mission. The members Of the family
were the father, called both William
and John; his wife; their son, John;
and their daughter, Kate, a girl of
%, who claimed to be a spirit medium.
1t was through the machinery of
spiritualistic n that the crimes
were committed. The victim was
seated in the Usual dark room with
his head against a curtain. One Of
the Benders, standing behind the cur
tain, then struck him over the head
with a hammer. Afterwards, to make
certain, the victims throat vas cut,
he was stripped of his ~valuables, and
was buried at night.
Discovery came May 4, 1878,
through the disappearance of DR.. vii
liam H. York, whose brother traced
him as far as the Benders' store. I'm.
able to follow the trail beyond, the
brother returned to the Benders' place
and there caught sight Of something
that had belonged to DR.. York. AS a
result OF these suspicious circum'
stances an investigation began, but
known, to detain the Benders, who
disappeared and never were heard of
again. There was a rumor that the
Kansas farmers of Labette county
lyncheG them, but it is wholly unsup-
ported by evidence and therefore is
almost certainly untrue.
The crimes of the Blenders were the
| wonder of a generation and the name
of Kate Bender especially occupies a
terrible eminence in the history OF
crime. Yet if the evidence in the La
porte affair is not modified or in part
belied the cas- of Mrs. Guinness is
more singular and horriic. The Ben
ders had the moral Tor immoraD sup
port of one another-the terrible re.
lief which comes to those who share
a fatal secret. Mrs. Guinness may
have had an accomplice in Lamphere
or another but that has not yet been
established, and it is not improbable
that many II not most of her crimes
were committed by her alone.
In any event she achieved a terrible
immortality, leaving a name at which
the world may well grow pale. The

In the consular service. Those who
desire to enter 1t are now obliged to
take a civil service examination and,
therefore, there is an opportunity for
