preceded by careful investigation. 1t
is peculiarly the province of the Con-
eress and not of the President. and in
deed peculiarly the province of the
House of Representatives, to originate
tariff bill and to determine upon its
terms; and this 1 fully realize. Yet it
seems to me that before the close OF
this session provision should be made
for collecting full material which will
enable the Congress elected next fall
to act Immediately after it comes into
existence. This would necessitate some
action by the Congress at its present
session, perhaps in the shape of direct
ing the proper committee to gather the
necessary information, both through
the committee itself and through Gov
ernmert agents who should report to
the committee and should lay before it
the facts which would permit it to act
with prompt and intelligent fairness.
These Government agents, if it is not
deemed wise to appoint individuals
from outside the public service, might
with advantage be members of the EX-
ccutive Departments. designated by
the President. on his own motion or on
the request of the committee, to act
with it.
! am of the opinion, however. that
one change in the tariff could with ad-
vantage be made forthwith. Our for
ests need every protection, and one
method of protecting them would be to
put upon the free list wood pulp, with
corresponding reduction upon paper
made from wood pulp. when they come
from any country that does not put ar
export duty upon them.
Ample provision should be made for
a permanent Waterways Commission
with whatever power is required to
make it effective. The reasonable eX-
pectatioE of the people will not be met
unless the Congress provides at this
session for the beginning and prusecu-
ton of the actual work Of waterway
Improvement and control. The Con-
gress should recognize in fullest fash
ion the fact that the subject of the
conservation of our natural resources.
with which this Commission deals is
literally vital for the future of the Ma
ton.
Numerous bills granting WATERFOWL
err rights on navigable streams have
been introduced. None of them give
the Government the right to make a
reasonable charge for the valuable priv
ileges so granted, in spite of the fact
that these water-poWer privileges are
equivalent to many thousands of acres

The passing years have made many
changes around the beautiful bav
whose charms drew Governor Clark
from strenuous life to its quiet, un-
inhabited shores, seeking that rest
near to Natures heart that had been
denied him for nearly three score
years. The home that he built Just
west of his buria. place was one of
those destroyed at the burning of the
town of st Andrews Bay by the Fed
erals in December, 1868. \ few old
live oaks, and the growth from the
roots of purple fig planted by him
in his yard at the rear of his house,
are all that remain of the extensive
shady grove that originally surround
ed his home.
But though his handiwork has been
destroyed, and his memory almost
forgotten page of history, yet about
his old home, and by his grave, the
mocking birds continue to usher i'm
the day with their mathis, and greet
the evening star with their vespers.
the whippOOrwill repeats its plaintive
notes throughout the night from the
magnolias and cedars, the waters
ripple upon the sandy beach, and the
storm tides send forth their deeper
notes from the shores of the Gulf, as
they did when Governor Clark, and
his estimable and piOus wife were
charmed and solaced by these sounds
from Natures choirsters. The world
may have forgotten this remarkable
man, but these sOngsters and the
never ceasing rush of the waters,
have never failed to chant their re-
QUEEN over the secluded, forgotten
and uncared for grave of this earnest
patriot, devoted friend, and affec-
tlonate parent; Natures reverend
ing tribute to an honest, courageous.

GEORGE FREIDENBLOOM
HOME FROM THE EAST.

Mr.. and Mrs. George Freidenbloom
returned last night from the East
where the former had been five weeks
having been joined at Chicago by Mrs
Freidenbloom, who had been gone
since September, visiting her old
home in Canada. Together they visit
ed in Chicago, H., South Bend and
Elkhart, Ind, Columbus, Ohio, AItoo-
ma, Pa, aid Washington, Mt Vernon
and other places of interest. George
is full of interesting stories of ais
trip, and he is giving others the full
benefit of his travels. At Washington
he met one B. Andrews, delegate from
New Mexico, who assured the Ros
well traveller that he was almost sure
that he would land the appropriation
for Roswell's public building At AL
toona he met Fred Hess, who visited
B. F. Smith in Roswell two years ago
and who is still boosting for the Pc
cos Valley. Mr.. Hess hailed the Ros-
-wellite with delight, for by him he
expected to prove his statement to
many of his friends il the Quaker
state that he had seen the ranch
where lived a bull (Slaughter's Sir
Bredwell) that weighed 5000 pounds
and cost S2,S00. 1t was Georges pain
full duty to tell him that he had fol-
lowed his natural tendencies as a
Dutchman and gotten the figures mix
ed, that the bull cost 1000 and
weighed $500 pounds. George met
Roswell people and Roswell visitors
everywhere, making him feel at home
wherever he went and making him
glad that he lived in one of the most
cosmopolitan cities of the West

(2) The Roswell loans cover by far
the greater part of the irrigation dis
tricfgof Roswell, They differ from the
they contain a higher percentage of
fine material. They are subdivided in
to sandy loan and loan. A bed of
clay underlies both soils, but that un-
der the foam is much nearer the sur
face than that under the sandy loan.
This clay is very impervious to wa
ter. When irrigation water is freely
applied, the excess seeps down until
this stratum of clay is reached, when
it accumulates and rises, gradually
filing the subsoil until the soil itself
becomes too wet with seepage water
for crops. Evaporation takes place
from the wet surface, and as the soil
moisture concentrates through evap-
Grafton the soluble salts accumulate
at or near the surface of the ground
until finally plants can no longer grow
OF the kind of alkaE found at Ros-
well, about ole-half of one per cent
in the top foot of soil is sufficient TO
prevent alfalfa growing. Drainage is
the one great need of these soils. The
water drawn off from the sub-soil
would lessen the evaporation from
the surface and carry out into the ri
vers the salt which has accumulated
near the surface, besides lowering
the level of the ground water.

FIRE BURNS EMPTY SHACK;
HOW WAS 1T STARTED

Fire broke out in little frame
dwelling on the bank of the Hondo
on South Kentucky avenue at $50
last night The house had been unoc-
cupied for a month, and the origin
of the fire is a mystery. There was
a report out that some person was
seen running from the building short
ly before the flames started, but this
story is denied. The fire department
responded promptly to tn call, but
there was no well closer than three
and half blocks and the building
was burned to the ground. 1t would
have been the same had it been a
ten thousand dollar residence. Does
Roswell need a waterworks system?
The building was the property of A.

A MOTHERS GREATEST GOSPEL

Is it possible to conceive of greater
good to be done by any mother than
to teach ner child, boy or girl, the
necessity of learning to be competent
in some one thing; to do that thing
better than anyone else has ever
done it?
1t makes no difference what the
task may be: how humble. The cry
for competent men, for competent
women, is loud and universal It
comes from every line of work; from
every quarter.
