There is much objection to the proposed site
for the station at Gloucester 1t seems to us that
the plan suggested by Mr.. Sproul is by far the
most feasible one. Chester has a fine river front
which is we'll adapted for station where the inl-
migrants could be handled with the least ex-
penSe.
One objection made to Chester is that it is too
far from Philadelphia for the location of the site
but this objection is hardly tenable. Secretary
Stradss is undecided as to where the station shall
be located, but he would DO well to give the Of
fer of Mr.. Sproul serious consideration.
We hope that Chester will get the station 1t

case Of Mr. Roosevelt. Various offers are being
made for the services Of Mr. Roosevelt when he

ident a large cash bonus if he will live in one Of
those places. The magazines will also pay him
well for literary work, Altogether the President

is the article by Ny Richard Watson
Glider in the current Century Maya
zine. 1t is not easy to write calmly
of Mr.. elders most inspiring article.
Situated as he is. and has been, the
writer of Lincoln the Leader Is
peculiarly fitted for a task which
comes to him by right. His verbal
picture of "That inordinately tall
countryman, with a shawl thrown over
his gaunt figure. crossing alone the
little park between the White House
and the War Department. If appealed
to by some distressed private soldier
or citizen could order justice done BY
a written sentence as surely as could
any Asiatic autocrat by issued edict," -
this picture. / say, is so clear, and st
cleverly typifies the Lincoln Of whom
Mr. Glider writes, that there is hardly
necessity for further elaboration of his
theme.

subject altogether unpleasant Miss
Laughlin has. in the main, made a
distinct addition TO the literature OF
the troublous times Of the early six
ties. She is at all times temperate
and she is at all times essentially fair,
but at the same time she exploits by
name a man who might as well not
be mentioned. Miss Laughlin. by the
verv nature Of her subject, is forceo
to this attitude. doubtless. and her con
tribution to the history of most re-
markable period is of great value on
that account. but il is to be regretted
that the exploiting of the deeds of
assassins are made necessary, and this

stumps on the University Farm. Two
dry oak stumps were used for the test,
the stumps measuring about twelve
inches in diameter. On Oct. % a hole
two inches in diameter was bored in
the stumps to a depth of about 20
inches. One pint of solution composed
of equal parts of nitric and sulphuric
acids was poured into the hole and
then sealed with a plug dipped in par
affin. On Nov. 81, thirty-four days
later, the stumps appeared nearly as
sound as before. the wood being
charred just a trihe around the hole

FIRING SLASHINGs.

Editor The Ranch:
Just listen to this what the Legis-
lature is going to do: a bill Will be
presented to the Legislature early in
the session prohibiting the setting out
of fires in slashings or clearings in
the state from June l to October 16,
1909 the period of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition. The purpose of the
bill is to prevent forest fires and keep
the atmosphere clear of smoke during
the time of the Exposition. The bill has
been endorsed by the Exposition Off
Gals and meets with the approval of
lumbermen generally and a strong
effort will be made to secure it's pass
age.-Seattle Times.
Mr. Editor, if people are expected to
obey laws we must certainly have
sensible laws. The law about burning
slashings is making law breakers every
year, and now the proposition to stop
would mean for one year! Say! 1t
makes me tired to think that anybody
is such a big fool as to think we
farmers will stand such a deal
l certainly believe in law and order,
don't intend to break any law, but there
is a whole lot of people that will see
that we have plenty of smoke If we
don't burn our slashings. Not one big
fire in fifty is started by burning slash
ings the big smokes come from big
fires set by logging companies where
they are working.
Cannot something be done about this
matter to keep from having such a
law passed? Do you think if 1 was
here looking for q location and no
clearing was being done, and the law
would not let us clear;-dO you think
| would stay here? Well, I guess not!
Neither would anybody else with good
sense.
1t is not the big timber men that are
wanting such laws, it is the big fools,
that do not know what they are talk
ing about. Now, Mr.. Editor, like The
Ranch. And | believe it is the very
paper to make n deuce of a fight right
on this subject now. If | can help you
just sing out.
