N 'NO-HAT" CLUB is
THE LATEST FAD
Elas.s f.
Unique Society Organized
By Residents of San
Francisco.
EEs s-
MANY JOIN BbREHEADERS
Not Regarded AS an Eceentricity, But
d Fixed Habit for Western Cltlzens
to Go Regularly Without IOp-
piece.

San Francisco, July 14.-A pen
chant for going without a hat mas
struck San Francisco all in heap. "A
"no-hat club" is to be formed.
Bareheadedness, heretofore an indl-
vidual eccenricity, is to be MADE
fixed habit and custom, just like even
ing dress or peach baskets or vaude-
vile.
A number of clubmen and society
women are backing the movement
Meetings are open to everybody, and
the charter roll will be laid on the ta-
Bile, so that any one may sign.
There will be no fees or dues.
Society men, clerks who get little
fresh air, and members in good stand
ing in the baldheaded row are expect
ed to show up strong. The rules OF
the club will command members
either to walk the streets hatless or
to carry their hats in their hands. An
other alternative will be wearing the
hat with the crown cut completely
out.
A no-hat club formed in Omaha re-
Gently now has membership OF 2oo'
and it is expected that the CLUB mere
will gain ten times as many adherents
to the cause. One of the enthusiasts
who refused to divulge his name, said:
1.-The no-hat club ought to be a
great success in San Francisco. The
climatic conditions of the city make
it possible for man to go the entire
year without headgear. Lots OF men
are hatless now. Do they not put IN
half their time chasing their hats
down the street? Besides, it causes
badness"

Colonel Bryan's Glass House.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
The Washington Herald says:
Hasn't Senator Simmons as much
right&o be against free lumber as Mr.
Bryan has to be against free barley!
inquiries the Wilson IN. Co Times
Still, you cannot prove that two
wrongs make a right a whit more
conclusive than you can prove that
two rights make wrong
To the above the Norfolk Landmark
makes this answer:
But nobody is trying to prove that
two wrongs make right. The point
in this case is that Mr.. Bryan is not
in a position to criticise Senator Sim
mons for opposing free lumber in
Republican tariff when Mr.. Bryan OPP
posed free barley in a Democratic tar
iff."
The Landmark tersely makes it
plain, that whether the position OF
Senator Simmons is right or wrong,
the point aimed at is that Colonel
Bryan lives in a glass house, but mas
rushed out and violated the time-hol-
ored aphorism that people in his posi-
ton really and positively shouldnt
have the temerity to throw stones. Ii
never has been conceded that the ket-
tie got anything for itself when il
tried to throw off on the pot for be-
ing black.
Even Colonel Bryan's sincerest
friends and admirers acknowledgs
that he either forgot his record OF
barley and some other things or has
neglected to confess that he wa
wrong but youthful when he opposet
free barley in Democratic tariff bill
Either confession or an apology j
due.

100000 yards are neeicd each year.
The khaki was inten:;cd particularly
for use in the tropics, ,ut it has been
found to be too warm. The War De-
partment said it could get in England
the kind of khaki used by British
troops in India and Africa, but the
government decided against purchas-
ing material abroad and decided on
the American-nade cotton.

HEAVY TAX ON DOGS.
Bill in Georgia Legislature Plaves the
License at $3.50.

Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Any Geor-
gian who wants to keep dog after
September / will have to pay the
state $3.50 for the privilege, if bill
introduced in the House today passes.
Since Georgia is financially embar-
rassed, any plan for increasing the
revenue is hailed with delight. The
bill provides that township consta-
bles shall not only kill all unlicensed
pups, but bury them under at least
two feet of earth. :
Dogs under three months of age are
exempt. The author says frankly thai
the state must have the money now
that the liquor revenue is no more
and that dogs are luxury anyhow.

MANY SEEK RESERVATION LANDS.
This Is the Last Big Opening the
Country VIII Ever See.

Spokane, Wash, July 15.-This was
the first day of registration for the
Indian lands soon to be opened by the
ton, Washington; the F1athead reser-
vation, Montana, and the Occur d'Al-
enc, in Idaho The throwing open for
settlement 9of these immense tracts
more than 100000 acres. of desirable
farming land-has created widespread
interest and large numbers of people
are already going into the country to
LOT ste desirable pieces, which they
viii ask the government to give to
them, should they draw one of the
lucky numbers. The registration will
continue until August 5. The places
of registration are Kalispell and Mis-
soula, Mont, for the Flathead lands !:
Spokane for the Spokane land, and
Occur d'Alene for the lands of the
Occur dAlene reservation. The draw
ing will commence August and con-
tinue until completed.
The fact that this is the last big
opening the country will ever see has
added interest to the event. OF the
three reservations to be opened the
F1athead is by far the largest. There
are 1,350,000 acres, long the home of
the remnants of three or four tribes
of Indians. The government has re-
served the timber lands, and about
100000 acres has been allotted the In
dians. The remainder, 100000 acres,
will be offered the settlers. The res
ervation lies in Flathead county, in
the northwestern part of Montana,
and on the west side of the main
range of the Rocky mountains. The
great valley is protected from strong
winds and storms by the mountains
on all sides, and it enjoys the warm,
modifying influence of the Pacific
ocean to a marked degree in winter.
The soil of the valley is a dark, rich
loan on a clay subsoil, usually with
out rock or gravel. The rainfall is
usually ample to raise most crops
without irrigation.
The Spokane reservation occupies
the southern part of Stevens county.
Washington, about thirty miles from
this city. 1t is bordered on the south
by the Spokane river, east by Chamo-
kane creek and west by the Columbia
river. It contains about $4,000 acres
of agricultural land, and also consid-
erable timberland., The soil is sandy
with a little white clay intermingled.
The climate is very similar to that of
the rest of the Spokane valley, but
there are no high winds, as the lands
are protected by mountain ranges on
either side. The land will be most
valuable for fruit raising. Soil, eli
mate and altitude render it especially
available for apple growing. With
proper cultivation all small fruits
may be grown. There is also min
eral belt, containing the great lodges
of the Deer Trail country.
The Coeur d'Alene reservation is
located about eighteen miles south
east of Spokane. 1t includes some OF
the finest farm lands in Idaho, parts
of it being now valued at $100 an acre
While the Occur d'Alene Indians have
been allotted nearly all of the best
land, it is estimated that there will
lie about 1000 good farms for white
settlers. Some valuable timber lane
| is found on the reserve
