THE PARDONlNG POWER.

W
 We will agree with the Hot Springs Sentinel Record when it says Par dons are good thing and that prose- cutions and convictions are better, but we wish to remind our contem- porary that the careless abuse of the pardoning power is dangerous and will have a tendency to encourage lawlessness and petty violations Act ing Governor Robertson may have been justified in pardoning several con victs recently but he should have at least permitted Governor Donaghey the proper official, to pass on the pc titions
 It appears that Acting Governor Robertson has permitted his personal friendship to influence him in the is- suance of several pardons. He should have at least waited few days be- fore jumping in and freeing so many convicts from the state prison. Tn many instances, we will admit, the higher officials are not to blame for their action. Only recently an irci- fN in, fl,sr /,i4xy which is one of the many examples that are recorded in the courts of this state almost every day A negress who had robbed her employe of a diamond locket, pleaded guilty in the circuit court and was sentenced to one year in the state penitentiary by Judge Grace. Within an hour after the sentence had been imposed her at- torney, who advised her to enter plea of guilty, secured letter from the parties she had robbed asking for her pardon. The letter, it is stated. is soon to be presented to Governor Donaghey or Acting Governor Robert son. The victims of the theft possibly asked for the pardon purely from a charitable motivve,
 The officers of the law should be upheld also. It is sliscouraging to good officers, and Jefferson county has several of them, to know that their hard work in running down criminals is not appreciated The law ought to be upheld in such cases and in these instances Governor Dona- ghey and Acting Governor Robertson should act for the best interests of their costituency
 A pardon board is what Arkansas neelS and it needs is badly. In the first place the pardoning power gives the governor entirely too much poli.- ical power and it is to be regretted that many of Arkansas chief exec utives have made use of it freely 70 further their poNtical games. The

HAVING FUN WITH wE1sER.

should be the title of yesterdays
comedy performance in the house of
representatives during the long wait
while the short" appropriation bill
was being engrossed.
Weiser of Mesa county was in the
chair acting for Speaker Lubers, who
was slightly indisposed. BY a pre-
concerted arrangement. all sorts of
parliamentary nuts were passed up
for him TO crack and he had a good
deal of trouble cracking some of
them. Motions that had for their
purpose nothing but the mystification
of the presiding officer were quickly
followed by amendments. making the
complication still more puzzling. At
length call of the house was had
and Representative Wardlaw was
"pinched" by the sergeant-at-arms
and brought before the bar of the
house He made an eloquent plea
for himself. but that did not prevent
the chair from filming him one box of
apples and one box of cigars. After
the 'foolishment" was all over. all of
1t was eXpunged from the record.

THE MEDICINE" BILL.

That measure which is always one
of the hardest fought in the legisla-
ture, the medical BILL made its
appearance in the house this morn
ing, introduced by DIR. ]. A. Whiting.
by request AS usual. the bill con-
tains stringent provisions aimed at
"quacks." physicians who advertise
concerning private diseases, and reg
ulating granting of licenses.
One section which will be attacked
by the doctors of various ''old'
schools seems to give Christian Scien-
fists free rein, 20: ii specifies that
nothing in the bill shall prohibit the
practice of the religious tenets or
general beliefs of any church"
The board of medical examiners is
given power to refuse or revoke Ii
censes when fraud is employed in
securing the license or in passing the
examination; when a person practices
under an assumed name or imper-
Sonates another doctor of some other
state or country; when there is a
conviction for crime involving moral
turpitude, or for habitual intemper-
ance.
The osteopaths claim that this
measure as drawn, would prevent
them from practicing in the state and
not only will they oppose il. but will
present a bill to establish an exam
lining board of their own.-Denver

Leadville, Colo. Jan. % District
Attorney Hogan said Saturday night
hat he would take no official action
against Engineer Gus Olsen, as the
Colorado statute does not provide for
prosecution under the circumstances.
This does not prevent private indi-
viduals from starting criminal pro-
ceedinps against Olsen, but the dis
trict attorney infers that he may not
allow such proceedings to be brought
into court. as in addition to the lack
of proper statutory law on the sub
iect. there is general sentiment in
Eagle county that no jury could be
secured to convict Olsen on any
charge growing out of the disaster.

BUILDING A CEMENT WATERING
TANK FOR THE LIVESTOCK
Much Easier Built Than One Which Is
Square-By Joseph e. Wing.

Fig. 1 shows a cross section of the
square tank The walls will penetrate
the earth only till they reach firm

Everywhere is the dog the friend

strictly the friend of woman. There
the dowry of the young woman does
not consist of hard cash as in Europe,
but in a certain number of sleek dogs
with thick fur or silken hair. The
girls status may almost be guessed by
her wedding portion of dogs. If she
receives six, she is poor; if dozen,
her parents are in easy circumstances;
and if II dozen it may be taken that
she comes from rich family. They
are carefully fattened for their savory
flesh, and their skins after death be-
come coverlets, pelisses, vests for
hunters, or bedside carpets which
scarcely ever wear out. Even to it's
fur the devotion of the dog is warm
and lasting.

To build this tank is an extremely

his trench for the foundation; it need
be no more than eight inches wide
and perhaps Is inches deep, then puts
in his concrete floor and on it the
box for inner form, then the walls,
and all of it ought to be put in on
the same day. Make a rich mixture,
rather wet, so that it will pour, and
keep it agitated well with sticks as it
is poured in so as to work all air and
bubbles to the surface. Take off the
inner form in "a hours and paint the
inside with a wash of cement and
water, thick as gravy.

put in before the tank is built, the in

Mink Farm in Oregon.

Tom Staten has established a farm
for the raising of mink at Rattlesnake
Point. on the upper klamath lake.
About a hundred of the animals are
housed in cages or cabinets, and seem
n do well. and thrive in captivity, as
thew are all fat and sleek looking.
The animals are SO tame that they
will take food from the hand, although
one has to be careful in handling
them, as the mink is treacherous and
has very sharp teeth. AS mink IN
this county increase about five fold,
MI. Staten expects to have something
over 500 in his cages next year. The
value of their fur alone will aggre-
gate about $4,000, but live female
minks sell for a much higher figure
than their hide alone is worth.

PENNSYLVANIA Giant Pine.

A giant white pine tree was cut in
Cameron county which produced the
following number and length of logs:
Twelve 16-foot logs, two 14-foot logs,
eight 12-foot logs, three 10-foot logs
and six 8-foot logs, and the whole
bunch scaled the magnificent total of
10000 feet board measure. The butt
log measured sixty inches, or five feet
in diameter at the small end. The
tree was not 1874 feet high, as it would
seem from the figures, but had two
forks and three branches Of immense
size, hence the large number of logs.
The tree was cut down during the
deepest snow of last winter, and hence
it was not much broken because the
snow deadened the fall.

CENTER OF OUR POPULATION.
Its Migration Westward Remarkably
Uniform in Rate and Direction.

Its Migration Westward Remarkably
Uniform in Rate and Direction.
The Center of population in 1906
was in the State of Indiana In 1890
the center was twenty-three miles
east of Baltimore, in the State of
Maryland, or virtually on the Atlantic
shore line.
It's migration has been slow and re-
markedly uniform, both in rate and in
direction It has lowered for ITO
years along the goth parallel of iati-
tude. and it's total variation in lati-
tude has been less than one-third Of
one degree.
The westward movement has aver
aged less than a degree in a decade
notwithstanding the incredibly swift
occupation of a vacant continent by a
movement of population westward,
The easterly position of the center of
population is in part due to the fact
that the eastern part of the continent
was first settled and was settled from
the east The easterly position of the
center of population is also due to
the more evenly distributed and more
abundant resources of the eastern
half of the United States.
It should not be forgotten that the
geographical center of the United
States lies some hundreds of miles
west of the Mississippi river. The
eastern half of the country therefore
embraces the Atlantic lowlands, the
prairies and Great Lake plains, the
Gulf lowlands and the forests and
minerals of the Appalachian Noun
tains and Appalachian plateaux. Over
against these are the arid and noun
famous areas of the West.
Certain areas will be reclaimed to
incredible productiveness. and the
mineral wealth is vast; but the CEN
ter of population may be expected to
remain permanently to the eastward

FIRST CATCH YOUR COON,
Then Cook 1t After Tom Murrey's
Recipe and Rejoice.

Recipe and Rejoice.
''Tom Murrey, who could cook any
thing and cook it a little better than
almost any chef I ever new" said an
epicurean New Yorker, used to say
that if you don't know how to cook
a coon about all you'll get out of it
if you try to cook one will be a big
lot of grease and a bad smell.
tom Murrey's recipe insists that
you first catch your coon. The coon
Is a rowing, reckless, rollicking free
oooter, whose range covers miles of
woods and thicket and swamp and
ED. There is excitement and toll and
trouble, skill against skill, cunning
endurance against endurance, when
you have caught him you will be in
proper mood to eat him.
zone mistake that the ordinary
of the coon's fat is left upon it the
better, and that the coon should be
roasted whole in the oven. AS a coon
in good condition is covered an inch
or more thick with fat, the greasiest
kind of fat, the result of such a man.
ner TO cooking may be imagined.
when Tom Murrey cooked a coon
he cut Off all the fat he could. Then
you cut the coon into pieces, cover
ing them with cold water, made
strong with salt This is to draw out
the blood, which is hot and super
abundant in all alternating animals.
when the blood has been extracted
pour off the water and cover the parts
with fresh water to which handful of
saleratus has been added. Let the
meat remain in this water not less
than one hour nor more than two
hours, then remove it to fresh water
and boil it until the meat is we'll cook
ed through.
"Have ready frying pan, with plen-
ty of butter melted IN it, favored with
onion Fry the coon in that until it
is nicely Drowned. 1t is then ready
to serve, and it is almost as good cold
as it is hot.
That's the way to cook a coon.
And when this misjudged provider of
something more than good to eat is
thus prepared the eater of it will have
a regular Oliver Twist look of eager
expectancy on his face as he passes
up his plate for more. Even the still
more despised woodchuck, treated &C
cording to this same recipe may be
transformed into a dish that no fried
chicken that ever was, will be asham
ed to have mistaken for itself"
