The Pan-American CONGRESS.

There is every reason to believe that
the next PanAmerican Congress-
which will be held at Buenos Ayres
Argentina Republic, in July, will see
the conclusion of several disputed mat
tiers which have been pending through
out several sessions. The Pan Amerl-
can congress- which is a convention OF
delegates representing the American
republics, has been conducted strictly
on a peace basis, that is, whenever a
subject came up for discussion which
did not promise to be settled amicably,
It was set forward to the next congress-
and it the second effort to bring about
a common basis of action was not sue
cessful it was again postponed. Under
this system several matters are now
pending which it is believed can be
disposed of at the next session.
The PAN American Congress has al
ready borne fruit in the peaceful set
tlemcnt of the boundary dispute which
involved Bolivia, Peru and Argentina.
The fact that war was avoided in that
instance proves that compulsory ar
bitration is practicable. The victory
for peace cannot fail to have great in
huence on the coming congress.
In all probability code of interna-
tional law for the government of the
American republics; uniform rules for
the conservation of public health and
the creation of Il commercial union,
will only be discussed, but it is be-
lieved that something definite will be
accom- plished. The awakening to the
Importance of giving more attention to
our trade relations with the Central
and South American republics makes
the coming congress more important
to the United States than any of its
predecessors.

The Public Is Interested.

The Pinchot- Ballinger controversy
than several weeks ago, and indica-
tions now are that the problem will be
handed over to Congress for settlement
The general public has been accus-
toned to looking up to Pinchot as g.
champion protecting them from the
greedy corporations and has been rath-
err upset by the position of Ballngcr
There is no doubt that the Secretary
has some right on his side and the gen
eral public has been left in quandary
as to which man should be supported.
There is no doubt that the people want
their rights protected. The only ques-
ton is which man, Pinchot or Balm
ger, is protecting them.
Ballinger has shown a disposition
lately to actively safeguard the inter-
ests of the people and declares that
all of his acts have been in conformity
with that idea. Mr.. Ballinger's policy
as outlined by his report is as follows,
Il want to get the fullest possible
measure of protection within the
law against the improper DISPOSE
ton of the public lands and if the
law is not what it ought to be we
must go to congress and have 1t
made adequate
Secretary Ballinger has recently is
sued an order for the conservation of
water power rights on public lands
and has withdrawn from entry 5000
acres of land in Montana, Idaho,
Washington, New Mexico, Wyoming
and Colorado, thickly studded with
valuable sites. This summary action
is taken until congress can have an
opportunity to pass upon the matter
1t has won Ballinger many friends
though it has simply transferred the
controversy from his department to
congress. The public will watch con-
gressional action with additional in
terest.

became the State of Maine. The farm
was in Scarboro in the county of Cum
berland. Soon changed to York county
the farm was in the town of SacO and
when that place became a city the
farm was in that part where the peo-
pie desired to be set off on account of
taxes and therefore is now part of
the town of Old Orchard.

the most pleasing one is how he lost

hungry and went "foraging" They
got a couple of pigs together with
chickens and eggs and went back to
camp when Mr.. Severance discovered
that his timepiece was missing. No
use to hunt for it. so he gave it up as
gone forever. Some time afterward the
party went to the same farmhouse and
the same negro servants were in the
Kitchen. one had the watch snugly hid
away ana was only too glad to return
it to the owner

Der and party of Portland people

had been boasting of his skill as
swimmer and as the day was a warm
one, somebody proposed swim OF
course they donned bathing suits and
in they dove, all but the boaster, he
just put his feet in and stood shiverng
for while until one of the men stole
behind him and pushed him headfrst
into the deep lake. He got ashore and
