little dubious for old earth. Chairman

and Howard Ayres OF the Business
Mems club Of the same city ap-

favorable report on Representative
lKeifer's bGl for a survey OF a canal
along the route OF the old Mama and
Erie canal.
Lest in the agitation his bill for a
survey for a ship canal from Toledo

For a half hour he answered the
questions our curiosity prompted. and
then We went to our cots. On the
morrow, Gibbons guided us to the spot
and, promising to return In a week,
left us. We had established our camp
under shelter of the. .precipitous cliff
which oyerhung the river, eaten our
supper, and were lelsurely strolling
about admiring the romantic surround
ings, when Bowen found the money,
Our surprise Is now easily understood.
Under ordinary circumstances a

but, with Gibbons strange tale fresh
In our ears, we stared at each other In
speechless amazement. We looked the
shining money over and over to make
sure. We scanned the bald face of the
cliff, glanced at the wild forest and
the river, peered into the blue sky

the presence OF the money. Then we
tried for signs OF recent human pres
ence, but none existed. We searched
for other coins, but found no more.
Finally we went to our couches In the
tent, there to speculate and theorize
on a possible explanation OF the mys-
terry until, through sheer exhaustion,
we fell into hlghty sleep.

Christian Scientist, but she is also a

her to point out that many very wor-

"And SO, Herbert" she said In closing.

The small boy relapsed into pro-

In local and central administrative

ward stockmen. There Is large de
mand for grazing privileges on the
national forests. and the policy of the
government Is TO make fair distribu

Is illustrated by Wyoming case. Six
years ago a single sheep owner was
grazing 10000 head of sheep or AZ
per cent OF the total number on the
forest. AS new settlers entered the
country they derived the benefit of a
