as follows:
: Il wired you from Wausau, Wis,
as follows, and write to confirm It:

The letter continued, stating in de-

investigation and other work here

chase and in effect obviate the nee
e9sity of your making any case in
the courts at all"
This letter, in which Senator Till
man requested that eight of the best
quarter sections be held in reserve
for him, was written just four days
before he announced in the senate
that he had not undertaken TO buy
any land in the West. 1t Is unnec-
essaIy to comment upon his proposal
made in this letter to ueH his lnflu-
ence as senator to force the govern
ment to institute a suit which would
make It easy for him personally to
obtain some of the land. This letter
purely pertaining to Mr.. Tilman's
personal and private business, was
sent in 4 franked envelope, of which
attach photograph, marked rEx-
hibit D-5."
The assault by Senator Tillman up
On Mr. Dorr was, according to the
report Of the inspectors, a wanton
assault made TO cover up Senator
Tillman's cwn transactions.

of Mr.. Dorr to the postmaster gem
eral, under date Of Nov. 90 1908,

relief from the cases which Senator
Tillman has brought against him,
saying that he had no knowledge
that Senator Tillman desired his OPP
CREATIONS, to be KEEP hidden and secret
from general public knowledge. The
report of the inspectors seems to in
'dicate that this young man, Mr.
Dorr, acted in good faith, but that
he used Senator Tillman's application
for land as an advertisement.

RAISING SALARIES

Congress is considering the propo-
Bition of raising the Salaries of the
president, vice-president and speaker
OF the house. In all probability the
action will be favorable While there
never has been any difficulty eXper-
fenced in getting men to fill there
offices at the salary which has been
paid, it is nevertheless a fact that
the money consideration has been
too low. The president OF the Unit
ed States has been compelled to
Spend all of his salary and more in
Entertaining and keeping up appear
ances and unless he has had a nice
Income from some other source he
has gone out of the White House as
Door or porer than when he went in
ne has devoted four or eight years
OF his life TO the service of his coun-
Ary and in return has received the
high honor which goes with the Of
ice. While we are not in favor Of
placing these offices upon a purely
monetary basis yet a country like
Khis should surely be able to pay its
chief officer a sum sufficient TO war
Want his entire devotion to his duties
without looking to the outside for his
livelihood after he has retired from
the office.
The salary of the vice-president Is
idoubtlessly proposed to be raised on
4 the grounds that man should be
paid something for sacrificing his
political ambitions in accepting the
place. The vice-presidency has
come to be a sort of convenient pol
.itical shelf upon which the man who
has had aspirations TO become presi-
dent can be laid without hurting his
feelings. AT the same time he has
his duties to perform and for them
he should receive just compensa-
tion.
y 1t depends largely upon who is
speaker of the house whether he
should receive a munifcient salary.
II a man is presiding in the houze
and using his power to further his
own INTERESTS and the interests OF
those who are seeking favors at the
hands of congress, he is dear at any
price, but if he be a man who is
endeavoring to pilot the house in the
enactment of those laws which are
to work for the greatest good to the
greatest number, then he is val
uable man and should be paid ac-
cordingly.

Millions of people have used oil
increasingly ever since. but not one
OF million of them ever gave a
thought to that man who had faith,

down into the earth for oil. How
did he guess It was there? BY what
spark of knowledge was he anima-
ted? He blazed the trail What
would the world have done during
the last so years without "petro-
leum," "kehosene?" II is a curious
substance, this oil that has made a
hundred Vulti-millionaires, with,
Rockefeller at their head, and illu-
minated the world. Petroleum we

WOOD WASTE DECREASING

The waste wood heap continues TO

hearts, Thousands OF cords had
been burned or dumped IN the lake

The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted, and at lit
tie more than the expense OF freight
he supplied his factory.
This is typical OF the trend OF man
ufacturing. Waste OF wood Is still
great, but II Is decreasing. What one
factory can not use. another turns 10
profit. Formerly mills threw away
half the forest-tons left in the
wod'. sawdust dumped in streams to
pollute them and destroy fish. slabs
burned in perpetual bonfires, and de
fective logs and low grade lumber
abandoned as not worth moving.

BURKE AND THE DENIS.

Governor Burke is said to have
served notice on the democrats they
must get together and support some
one man for the senatorial vacancy
Strenuous efforts are being made to
prevent his appointment of Marshall
by friends Of the different democratic
candidates. The governor readily sees
his advantage and wants the leaders of
his party to harmonize He feels he
can force this by holding the club of
Marshall's possible appointment over
their heads.
II the democrats keep up their scrap
ping over available men-the governor
may insist that to appoint any dem
oerat would cause lot of fractional
troubles and he must name Marshall
to avoid this. It will be nice for the
combination.
