TOBACCO LEAF TARIFF
BEFORE B-COMBuTTEE

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The tobac
co free leaf question was taken up to.
day by sub committee of the senate
committee on finance, and number of
tobacco manufacturers were heard in
opposition TO the removal of any Of the
restrictions governing the sale of tobac
co in the leaf. The hearing was upon
the Bradley amendment which would
permit the purchaser to sell the leaf
without the payment of tax and all
subsequent purchasers to make similar
transfer so long as the tobacco was not
manufactured in any form.
Tobacco manufacturers contended to-
day - this would open the door TO
tho possibility of great frauds, and that
would materially reduce revenues.
The proposition to reduce the tax on
smoking and plug tobaccos, cigars.
cigarettes and snuff was also discussed.

WELCOME!
B Y w. E. VIGU S

In the trying siege of Vicksburg,
They dug their way TO victory
Through trenches long and deep.
They heard the roar at Perryville,
That belched from cannon mouth
When Bragg's retreating army
Was driven further south.
From Lenoir on to Knoxville,
In battles wavering tide.
They fought the hosts of Longstreet
From field and mountain side.
They marched with gallant Sherman
From Atlanta to the sea,
And suffered in the hardships
That made our country free.
Near the Spotsylvania courthouse,
Ihey remember yet too well,
That yawning bloody angle
W here their noble brothers fell.
Around the pits at Petersburg,
In the crater s mighty roar,
They held aloft our banner
When the field ran red with gore,
AT RappahannocIz. Lexington,
Malvern Hill and Seven Pines,
They wove wreath of glory
That with luster ever shines.
From Stone IS River to Atlanta.
They marched with solemn tread
Where every hill and valley
Drank the blood they freely shed.

At charlottesville and Antietam
They raced the CALLING fire
With patriotic devotion
That we always must admire,
At Martinsburg, Pea Ridge, Mill
Springs.
Yorktown, Winchester and Bald
Hill,
Their heroic achievements
Volumes in our history fill
They held the flag at Gettysburg
And fought with bated breath
Through that Devils den Of carnage
Where thousands sleep in death.
At Fredericksburg Cold Harbor.
And on fields without name,
Our history has recorded
Their everlasting fame.
In the clutches Of starvation
Within Libby's grewsome walls
Their patience and long suffering
Our memory still recalls.
That priceless crown of liberty
With Jewels so richly set,
They have won by deeds of valor
That we never can forget.
To this glorious Grand Army,
With its fast dissolving ranks,
a peaceful, united country
Offers up its grateful thanks.
Write their names in golden letters,
Radiant as the shining sun,
In honor of the victories
That they so dearly won.

TO THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
WELCOME!

To these timc-honorcd heroes,
Each with badge upon his breast,
We extend n hearty welcome
To our city in the west.

Open wide the city's gates;

Who fought to save the states.
Around the flag at Sumter,
In Charleston "a placid bay.
These sons of freedom rallied.
Twas they who saved the day.
1t was in the early sixties
When the cruel war begun,
That they met in awful conflict
At the battle Of Bull Run.
In that battles raging vortex,
Though the sky with gloom was
The ship Of state was anchored
With the banner at the mast,
On bloody plains at Wilson creek
Where the noble Lyon fell,
Their courage never faltered
Through the widest rebel yell.
At Henry and Fort Donelson,
With valiant foe intrenched,
They hurled their deadly missiles
Till the earth in blood was drenche
They were on the field OF Shiloh,
Where their valor stood the test
Through the seething hell of fury
In that fateful hornets nest,

Sun spot. Are pIscovered.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Four large sun
spots, more than 10000 miles in dia-
meter, have been discovered by Father
James L. McGeary, Marquette Univers-
ity astronomer. Upon these spots,
which are visible to the naked eye. ac-
cording to the astronomer, Father
McGeary thinks may be placed at least
part of the responsibility for the
series of mysterious magnetic disturb
ances that interfered with telegraphic
and telephone service in America and
in Europe Saturday night.
Father McGeary also believes that
the proximity Of Mars to the earth
may have had an important part in
the strange magnetic disturbances.
the earth being in magnetic field of,
both that planet, which he presumes
to be magnetic, and of the sun, the
magnetic influence of which. he con-
tends, is probably increased by the
spots upon its face.
The influence of the northern lights,
which are now plainly visible in this
part of the world at night, and the in
creased power of magnetic earth cur
rents also play part in Father
McGeary's explanation of the recent
disturbances. the astronomer admits
that his explanation is largely theoreti-
cal, but points out that it opens up a
remarkable and hitherto unexplored
field for scientific research.

Spokane, Wash.-In a speech on the
conservation of natural resources de-
livered here. President Taft declared
that he would ask Congress to author
ze the issuance of $10,000,000 in bonds
to complete irrigation projects already
begun in the West and on which work
had been stopped for lack of funds.
This has been the hope of many set
tiers in the arid regions who had
taken up lands in expectation of pro-
curing a supply of water to make them
fertile and the Presidents declaration
was enthusiastically cheered.
The President declared that many
newspapers had drawn unfair infer
ences as to the attitude of his admin
istration on the general conservation
OF natural resources.
1.-The truth is,' he said, "my admin
stration is pledged to follow out the
policies of Mr.. Roosevelt in this re-
gard, and while that pledge does not
involve me in any obligation to carry
them out unless 1 have congressional
authority to do SO, 1t does require that
take every step to exert every legiti-
mate influence upon congress to enact
the legislation which shall best sub
serve the purpose indicated"
The President declared that Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger is in ac-
cord with him as to the necessity for
promoting, In every legitimate way,
the conservation of natural resources.
The President also has praise for
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot and
refers to his wonderful work for the
conservation of the forests, supported
by Mr.. Roosevelt"
President Taft declared, as to water
power sites, that Congress must
authorize the government to allot
these sites to private interests for de-
velopment. the government retaining
general control and supervision.
He declared, also, that he would
urge upon Congress the necessity OF
an authoritative classification of public
lands to prevent difficulties Of the
past, such as the setting aside Of coal
and mineral lands as agricultural
lands, and vice versa.

At the request Of Attorney General

session to make up the final assess
ment of railroad and corporate prop

The Union Pacific was assessed at
$7,135, 900 and petitioned for reduc-
ton of $1,OOO,000. The board was in
clined to grant some concessions,
some of the members advocating a re-
duction of even 100000.
The Santa Fe is assessed at $5,555,-
900 and asks reduction of 100000 or
more. 1t is probable that the board
will agree to knock off mile of track
age in Pueblo county, which would re-
duce the assessment by about $4,000.
The Pullman company will not receive
any reduction and its first assessment
may be raised, Notwithstanding fig
ures were presented to show that
Colorado is from 20 to 80 per cent
higher on its assessment OF Pullman
