Elks Want a Reservation.
Nc Henry Presents Petition OF Milton Lodge,
B. p. o. E. WANT Public Lands Used.

Hon. John G. McHenry, Repre-
sentative for this district has pre-
sented petition of Milton Lodge,
No. oI3 Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, for an American elk
reservation in Wyoming, which was
referred to the committee on public
lands.
1t is believed here this is the be-
ginning of a movement on the part
of the Elks of the entire country
that will culminate in the setting
apart Of a considerable tract of pub.
lie land, which under the auspices
OF that order will be used to propa-
gate and protect that specie of wild
animal.
Mr.. McHenry is following the
matter up with energy and as a
great many of the senator's and rep
resentatives in congress are mem
bers of the order, the necessary leg
islation 10 compass the result is
likely to be enacted in the near fu-
ture.

Want keal Pure Food.
State Changers Demand Elimination Of Poison
Gus Stuff.

A Pure Food bill in the interests
of the millions of consumers, and
not of the few wealthy manufac-
turers and mixers, is demanded by
the Pennsylvania Grange at the
hands of the present Legislature.
The State Oranges Legislative and
Executive Committees met at Har-
risburg, and after discussion of
bills pending i'll the Legislature Of
interest to the farmers of Pennsyl-
vania adopted resolutions declaring
in favor of Pure Food bill which
will not permit the use of any adul-
terants.
This action was taken in the
form of a resolution declaring that
as the Federal Government had re-
cognized the use in small quantities
of benzoate of soda and other adul-
terants commonly known to be in
furious to health, and was continu-
ally changing its regulations, the
Grange deemed it best to call upon
the Legislature to enact a law
which will not allow any such adj
ded substances deleterious to
health.
"A resolution was also adopted
demanding the enactment OF law
which will require railroad CON-
panies to be responsible for forest
fires which occur in woods along
their lines. A bill to this effect
will be introduced in a short time.
The committees determined to
oppose any laws which have for
their object the changing of the
present statutes relative to oleo or
rem ovated butter.

Grange Opposes School Code Bill.
Asks That the Commission Revise It's Work
for Next Legislature.

The great grange of Pennsylvan-
ia has come ont emphatically a.
gainst the new school code bill.
Its legislative and executive COM
mittees in session at Harrisburg ad-
vised that the educational commits.
sion be continued and asked TO re-
wise its work, and after thorough
debate, the committees adopted the
following resolutions
WHEREAS, The school code pre-
pared by the educational commits
sion is very voluminous, and
WHEREAS, 1t was not complet-
ed until after the legislature was in
session, thus giving the members
little time and many of their con-
stituents no opportunity to study
its provisions, and
WHEREAS, 1t provides for many
and important changes from the
present laws, and
WHEREAS, The people of the ru-
raj districts had 10 representation
on the commission therefore be it
ReS0I0ea, That the enactment in.
to law of the proposed school code
by the present legislature would be
premature and be it further
ReS0i0ed, That the interest of all
will be better conserved by contin-
uing the commission, allowing it tc
revise its work, and requiring it to
have its report printed and distrib-
uted among the people at least six
months before the next Legislature.
THE Big ROAD PROJECT.
The committees declared in favor
of general hearing by the legisla.
ture of all persons interested in
good roads and to carry out this
idea adopted a resolution calling
for general meeting of all persons
in good roads, to be held
in the capitol the second week in
March.
The following declarations were
made on general road legislation
With some amendments we favor
the passage of the Jones bill on
township roads, which provides
State aid of so cents for each dol
ar raised locally up to a miximum
Of $50 per mile.
We demand a reorganization of
he State highway department to
he end that this branch of our
government shall lay out a COM |
olete system of State roads connect
ng our large towns and county
seats. for preparing bulletins on
ownship road construction, main
enance, etc.
We are opposed to building the
boulevard from Philadelphia to
oittsburg, tor The reasons that
here are no plans as to routes,
est or kind of construction, and
10 plans of any State roads in 9TH
r sections of the State.
We have been working for near
y four years without any plans or
ystem, and we believe that the ,
lrst thing necessary is to make ar ,
angements for a complete system
If State road construction, to the .
md that each county may know
What it may expect. Il
ACTION ON OTHER MEASURES.
These resolutions were also
Idopted:
WHEREAS, The State roads {
'uilt by present methods wear out
n few years, therefore be it
Res0l0ea, That we are unalter-
bly opposed to bonding the State
or payment by future generations
or roads long since worn out.
Res0lOed, That we favor an a. ,
nendment to the present trolley
aw, compelling the companies
operating lines to carry freight in
he rural districts.

Art Notes
BL ELIzBETH wAGGoNER

HI HE event of especial interest in ar
tistic circles for the coming week
Il is the opening exhibition at the
Blanchard art galleries, when a repre-
sentative showing will be made of
paintings by Southern California ar
lists. The first exhibition of the sea-
son is always noteworthy, and on this
occasion most of the canvases come
fresh from the studios, only two in
the entire collection having ever been
exhibited before in Los Angeles. The
exhibition opens on Monday evening
with a reception and private view and
will continue during the month of DC
tober.
The Painters club will follow with
it's annual exhibition to be held in
this gallery in November
The excellent exhibition, which has
been on during the summer at the
Steckel gallery, will be taken down the
middle of October to make room for a
collection of paintings by Mr.. e. w.
Rollins, which come from his studio at
Arrowhead. Several changes have been
made in the present exhibition from
time to time, certain paintings being
taken for exhibition elsewhere and 9th
ers added in their places. A couple of
large canVases by ]. Bond Francisc :
are missed from the walls, and a new
portrait by John Hubbard Rich of Mr..
Anthony Anderson, occupies proml-
nent place in the gallery. The portrait
is a fine piece of brush work and in
teresting in color. The simple handling
of cool, gray tones, with the interest
concentrated in the painting of the
head and hands, recalls Anders Zorn' 4
portrait of Mr.. William b. Ogden, one
of the most interesting examples In
this country of that artists wonderful
mower in portraying men. 1t happens,
however. that Mr.. Rich himself has

it is a most exasperating case. We
shall go on the theory that parents
and adults need help and wise direc-
ton just as much as do the children" ="
And he adds that a vigorous campaign
will be waged against divekeepers
and proprietors of similar places that
harbor and corrupt the youth of the
community, remarking, in conclusion
that 1--WE shall make a special effort
to reach the causes of crime"
All who have the slightest famil-
iarity with Judge Lindsay's writings
will recognize that he traces the causes
of crime infinitely farther back than
the dive or the dance hall and one
need only study his THE Beast and
the Jungle" now running in Every
body's Magazine, to see that he has
delved deep. Assuredly he belongs to
the modern school of criminology,
which will eventually eXtirpate crime
by roofing up it's causes. But this is
a world struggle that is only now
looming up above the horizon.

CORDOVA PLANS TO
TAKE MANY OPTIONS

GLOBE Oct. 3.-The Cordova Min
ing company will within the next few
days complete the taking over of

however, that only about lo per cent

parently grouping its holdings with

means that many of them will never

guished painter

His choice of subject, Augustus Saint

from his personal acquaintance WITH

Miss Ada NJ. P. Chase, who has taken
an active part in matters artistic our
ing her residence in South PASADENA
as supervisor of drawing in the public

A number of these have beenyexhibited

this is the first time they have been

and "The Poplars" is charming with
its delicate tree forms and subtle color

plicity in contrast to the dramatic ef-
fects of more conventional treatment.
Mrs. Brooker has devoted much of
her time to painting in oils during tn
past summer as departure from the
methods of her color etchings, and the
results of her work in this medium will
doubtless be shown at the coming eX-
