Il need not tell you of the made

poses in this regard of the empire of

only too visible in an examination OF

Earn Profit
We earn profit frnm nr" foreign
mails from $4,000. 900 to SS.000, 0Aa a
year. The application of that amount
would be quite sufficient to put ON a
> satisfactory basis two or three orr
c:itai lines and several lines from the
east Ia South America. OF course, we
are familiar with the argument that
this would be contributing tn private
i companies out of the treasury of the
United states; but We are thus con-
tributing i'm various ways on similar
principles in effect. both by our pro-
tective tariff law, by our river and
Z harbor bills, and hy our reclamation
! service. We are not putting money in
i the pockets of shipowners. but we are
giving them money with which they
can compete for reasonable profit
only with the merchant marine of the
world.
From my observations I think the
country il ready now la try such
law and to witness its effect in
comparatively small way upon the
foreign trade of the United states. II
1T Is successful experience will show
how the policy can best be expanded
and enlarged. and the American COM
mercial flag he made to wave upon
the seas as it did before our civil war
1t is true that our foreign trade is
great and incfeaing. and this without

Uncle Sam Will Appeal from Decision
of Registrar and Receiver to
General Land
Office

HELENA, Mont, May 2O.-The reg
istrar and receiver Of the United States
land Office here rendered a decision to-
day respecting mineral claims in for
est reserves, which. if affirmed by the
department at Washington, will do
much to remove cases of complaint
which have been lodged against the
administration of those reserves In
western states.
The case is United States against
Garneau and Hickey, prospectors in
the Helena reserve who had located
several quartz claims therein Charges
were brought against each location al
leging mo discovery of minerals"
The opinion says:
The only question to be considered
here is as to whether a discovery has
been made and the forest service
mining expert contends that there has
not been because the values obtained
by him did not meet his idea of values
that should be disclosed in a dis
covery."
According to this idea, the expert
would have the discovery of mineral
in paying quantities at the very out
set of the location. Such a contention
could not be sustained for a moment
because, if such were the case, a pros
petcor would be precluded from max
ing location of mining claim in the
first instance, as paying mines general
ly are not disclosed on the surface and
are only made by exploration and de-
velopment.
Hence the decision was in favor of
the prospectors. The government will
appeal to the general land office.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 20.-A
cloudburst broke over the city this aft
ernoon and caused a panic in the dense
crowd gathered in front of the stands
on which President Taft was reviewing
the Mecklenburg celebration parade.
One person was seriously hurt.
To add to the turmoil and danger
there was a loud report and a binding
fash not fifty yards from the review
ing stand. Just what caused the explo-
sion is not known.
The crowd scattered in all directions.
Men and women rushed for the shelter
of the presidents stand, and the pres!-
dent stepped to one side to give as
much room as possible. The tremen-
dous downpour of rain was soon beat
ing its way through the canvas roof of
the stand, and almost directly over the
presidents head a great pool of water
gathered, threatening to break the COW
ering. A man rushed up, cut hole in
the canvas and let the water down in a
perfect food. The electric power was
then cut off.
The president stood smiling while the
rain poured down. After the parade he
drove back to his hotel for change of
clothing.

COWBOYS KILL 5000
SHEEP; TWO MEN HURT
Battle Between Herders of Animals
Takes Place Near Atchee,
Colorado

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, May 90
As a result of a battle between sheep
men and cowboys on a contested range
near Atchee, Colo, yesterday, 5000
head of sheep We're killed and two
sheep men were injured The sheep,
which belonged to Taylor Bros. Of
Montrose, were grazing on a range
near the hamlet of Carbinero.
It appears that the cowboys dashed
in on the herders and tied them to
trees and then rode out and killed the
sheep. They first cut the telephone
wires. Several hours later the sheep
herders were liberated.
The authorities of Garfield county
have been notified, but it is not be-
lieved the cowboys will be captured.
The range in which the crime was
committed has long been a contested
range and several murders have re-
suited from quarrels over it.
