BIG CONVENTION
FOR OCTOBER
Conservation Commission VIII Join
Transmississippi
Delegates.
ADD A DAY TO THE MEETING.
Congress Promises To Be Most Inter-
esting-Railroad
Assistance.
ADD A DAY TO THE MEETING

KANSAS CI1l (Mo.), August 23.-It
is practically assured that all, or near
ly all, the members of the National
Conservation Commission appointed
by President Roosevelt will attend the
forthcoming annual meeting in San
Francisco in October of the Trans
mississippi Commercial Congress- An
entire day of the congress programme
has been set aside for the discussion of
the conservation of the ~country's re-
sources, and it is probable that addi-
tional time will be given over to the
subject
s. j. Case of Abilene, Kan, president
of the Commercial Congress, who some
time ago extended an invitation to the
Conservation Commission to attend the
San Francisco gathering has received
letter from Washington, d. c., from
Thomas r. Shipp, the Commissions
secretary, in which he says:
"Your very generous offer to make
the meeting of the Transmississippi
Commercial Congress a means of ex-
tending the conservation movement is
accepted with very keen appreciation,
and if it meets your entire convenience
to set aside day in your programme
for the discussion of this subject, the
Commission will endeavor to utilize it
to the best advantage.
please count on the Commission for
any assistance it can render in max
ing your meeting a success"
In reply sent today to Secretary
Ship, President Case says: I'm view
of our invitation extended to you, we
have added another day, making five
days for our meeting, whereby we
could give you one day and, if neces-
sary, more; say, part or all of another
day. Our congress will be second
only this year, in my judgment, to the
national conventions. We never had
as much encouragement and assistance
from the railway lines offered to us
as we have at this time for the San
Francisco meeting"
The Commercial congress will meet
at San Francisco from October 9th to
10th, inclusive.

LOST IN THE STIKINE

About a month ago Willis Hoagland and Tom Whitmore left this place with three men, Col. Wm. Grogan and Messrs Harry Hiatt and Fred Haunstein of se- attle, for bunting and prospecting trip on the upper stikine, their craft being a small canoe. They made the trip all right, did their prospecting, and October 18th left Telegraph Greek on their re- turn. As the weather had become quite cold. Col. Grogan was wrapped in blan- kets, and put in the bow of the canoe, 50 that he might keep warm and com fortable.
 All went well until they reached the big rifle just above Glenora, one of the most treacherous points on the river, owing to the narrowness of the channel and the swiftness of the water. Hoag- land was steering the craft, which was caught by the current and veered just enough from its course 20 that the bow struck 6 boulder. The canoe swung around so that the stern struck the shore, and in an instant was overturned and all of the occupants were thrown into the river. Col. Grogan was thrown

into the main channel and was instantly carried into the big whirlpool below, where he sank and was seen no more, his companions being powerlsss to assist him. Being in shallow water near the shore, the others saved themselves, but lost their entire outfit, guns, blankets, provisions and a quantity of what they believed to be rich rock they were bring ing down to have esssysd. The party supplied themselves with other provi- sions at Glenora and came on down, reaching Wrangell on the evening of Nov. 7, having been on the river thirteen days, alternately rowing a short distance and then pulling their canoe over frozen stretches. making it a trip the gentlemen will long remember.
 Col. Grogan was a man quite well known to many in this section, al well as in the interior, having made several trips into the Cassiar country heretofore. It was said that on ons of his trips into the interior he found gold nugget of enormous size-so large that he could not lift it; that he had buried it, and that it was to bring 1t out that he made this trip. Nr. Hiatt, however, says this was an error, as they simply went up the river to hunt and prospect. The drowned man is said to have been S4 years of age.

The plank managed nicely while in shallav water, but when it got into the channel little swell tipped the plank just enough to let its navigator slide into the water.

GANDERBoNE's FORECAST
lcopyright C. H. Rieth.) )
 s6yENBER

In the old Roman calendar November was the ninth month. Blessings fell early early, and the empire gave thanks just before the first frost; bat about 700 B. c. the trusts left the people so little to be thankful for after nine months that it was decided to wait while and see if anything would come of the Ro- nj an elections. Numa accordingly made November the eleventh month and had Thanksgiving fall with the first snows, notwithstanding the month gets it's name from the Latin Novem tnine.) The frisky colt will sniff the air and hear the whistling quail, and the festive calf will indicate the zenith with bis tail. The frost will paint the forest with a deep and rsddsr dye, the hired man will shuck the corn, the pumpkin vine will pie.
 The annual showdown between city and country life will be complete by the 2Oth, when the farmer will have his eel lar stocked with potatoes, turnips, kraut, honey, nuts, hams, side-meat, souse, popcorn, pickles, pigs feet, apple butter, lard, sweet potatoes and sorghum, and the city man will enter the winter with his cellar stocked with ten tons of hard coal and two gas meters.
 The man who made election bets, re- lying on his knowledge, will write sad note to his son, withdrawing him from college. The football esason will wind up, the classroom claim it's braves, and the faculty will order flowers and deco rate the graves.
 A double f1eece-lined coat of hair will come in style for dogs, and the farmer will put on the pot and kill bis fattened hogs. The air will teem with shots and squeals and sundry fayors sweet, the good housewife will render lard and serape and pickle feet, the spared old hens will get note ot terror in their cacklings, and the children will refresh their tums with good old-fashioned cracklings.
 MT. Rooseyelt's annual proclamation advancing the price of turkey ten cents a pound will be issued about the middle uf the month He will urge us to give thanks that 5, 900, 900 cubic feet of earth were excavvted at Panama in October.
 The sad-faced gobbler will address his young and fearful flock, and clip for msmory's sweet sake a small and tear
