Washington.-Une assert
ing that monopoly now is in process
of formation whose object is to OBJ
tain possession of the water power
sites of the country, Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the Bureau of forestry, who
returned from an extended inspection
in the west, declared that remedial
legislation must be enacted at the
coming session of congress if this
great natural resource is to be pre-
served to the people.
Looming up as another big problem
which will confront congress will be
the question of the disposition of vast
areas of coal lands in the west, but
principally in Alaska 1t is important
that congress should take prompt &C.
ton on this important matter, Mr..
Pinchot said, for tha protection of the
country's fuel supply and also to pre-
vent a monopoly in this product.
When national forests were men
toned Mr. Pinchots countenance
beamed with delight. He declared that
he had never seen the forests in a
more satisfactory condition. The per-
sonnet of the service was at higher
standard and the district plan of or
gantzation, which was put into opera
ton in December last, was in admir-.
able shape, he said.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that the recent
trip of Secretary of Agriculture Will
son through the west has had most
admirable effect in fostering the con.
servation sentiment. "It developed
] tho fact" continued Mr.. Pinchot, that
| the people in the region where the
most complaints came from were

AT EW YORK.-It would be interest

which shook Manhattan island and
the territory about 1t during the Hud-
son Fulton celebration.
An interview with these two old
water-adventurers would be a pleas.

expert, has ventured to reach beyond
the veil and ask questions; surprising,
too, in one who has called up the
spirits of the dead for advice as to
whether he. should marry again?
: Especially as the interview, If au-
thenticated, would have brought good
money from the newspapers.
But there is no vagueness or un.
certainty as to mundane impressions
of the celebration. There has been
no room for cavil or criticism. The
millions in town and the millions who
came to town unite in expressions of
satisfaction and praise. Only one dis.

America. But New York is glad that
it is over.
Ten Of millions of dollars poured
into New York because of it. If one

the United States debt look small.

Add the receipts of the railroads,
the street car lines, the restaurants,
the steamboats,, the stand owners,
the souvenir sellers, the saloons, the
hundred and over takers OF money
for which New York is famous, and
you reach a total that speaks for the
abundant and generous prosperity Of
the country.
Add, then, the money left in the
stores-it looks as though this would
double the sum.
The feeding capacity of New York
was certainly put to the test, and
yet there was no strain. Add mil
lion new mouths to fill each day, and
the consuming capacity becomes en-
larged. Yet no one went hungry if

MUTE SHOWED HOW

punches were growing in the tracks
of the old mule.
What did it?" he asked himself.
But he didn't leave the farm. For
days. however, he asked himself the
question, What did it?" And final
ly the answer came to him.
ut was the packing of the earth
by the weight of the mule"
The next year, when Campbell
sowed his wheat, he rolled it with a
home made roller for days and days.
His neighbors laughed at him.
When the wheat sprouted every ker-
mel came up, and SO did that planted
by his neighbors, who again laughed
at the fool Vermont machinist who
thinks he knows how to farm"
Then came the long, hot days, and
the neighbors' wheat dried up and
burned.
j But Campbell's didn't. His fields
were green, and in the time of har
vest it was found that he had raised
the biggest crop that country ever
saw. Campbell's theories had beer
proven, and the next year every farm
er in that country packed his wheat
