Scenic Beauty of the Ozarks.


A question which has always
remained unanswered in the mind
of the writer is why should the
people of Missouri make long and
uncomfortable trips each year to
the mountains Of Colorado, Cali
fornia and New Mexico in search
of 'scenery" when right in their
own state, in easy reach within a
days ride from the uttermost
border, there is spread out a
panorama Of hill and mountain
and dale which cannot be sur
passed anywhere in the world. In
our own delightful Ozarks can be
found all and more than can be
found anywhere in the land, and
the cost for sightseeing is merely
nominal.
The writer has seen the fa1
famed Berkshire Hills of Massa-
chusetts, the Green Mountains OF
Vermont, the Catskills of New
York, the Rockies in Colorado,
and in none of these sections is
there to .be found anything more
beautiful or more enhancing to
the eye than the Ozark mountain
section Of Missouri offers. The
mountain peaks touch and kiss
the sky, the hills and valleys are
clothed in almost fadeless green
through summers sun and winters
snow; purling streams dash down
the mountain sides and carry life
to the growing crops in the fruit
full valleys; sparkling rivers, with
deep shady pools, invite the angler
to trial Of skill, and the gamey
bass, the trout and jack salmon al
ways reward his efforts. In the
open season the hunter finds
the chattering squirrel, the fleet
winged quail, the migratory duck
and goose and other feathered
targets. The tourist in search of
lrest finds surcease from the cares

of business and the ill are restored

to health.
Lying back in lazy content up
on some lofty mountain peak, the
tired one has spread out before
him panorama of loveliness that
gives rest to the mind, vigor to the
body and inspiration to the intel
lect. The purple mists upon the
distant mountain tops, the clear
bracing atmosphere, the maturing
crops in field and orchard, the
flash of swift.m owing trains down
a distant mountain side afford a
picture to be seen in few sections
of the world.
One of the most beautiful sec
tions of the entire Ozark range is
to be found il. the famed and
picturesque Arcadia Valley,
reached in a few hours from st.
Louis and Poplar Bluff via the
Missouri Pacific IRON Mountain
route. Here man has done a great
deal to assist nature, and the re-
suit is a spot which can only evoke
exclamations of delight and sur
prise from the most blase, no mat
ter where he has travelled or what
he has seen. Standing on the sta
htion platform, one has but to turn
his head and there flashes before
his vision the rugged heights of
four historic mountains.
Of to the northeast short dis
tance is bold and old Pilot Knob,
where more than a generation ago
was located one of the most fa-
nous iron mines of the world and
where are still evidences of the
work done in times past in wrest-
ing ores from the bowels of the
earth.

full and restful outlines of Arcadia

the prettiest resorts-Ozark Inn

STRONG COMMITTEE NAMED
FOR MILK PROBE.

President W. F. GUIDE of the Cham
Der Of Commerce has exercised excel
lent Judgment in the selection of the
milk investigation committee. author
ity for the creation of which was grant
ed by the Chamber at its first fall
meeting last week These are the men
upon whom has been laid the duty of
probing the milk question:
J. Louis WiIlise, chairman;
T G. Dulin,
p ". GUY
George W White
w j. Hoover.
it IS particularly fitting that the
Chamber of Commerce should take the
lesd in the movement to bring TO light
all the facts bearing on the local milk
situation and to hasten the settlement
OF a controversy in which every per
son in the District is interested. The
Chamber of Commerce is an associa-
tion Of business and professional men,
gathered together for the purpose of
promoting, by organized effort, the vel
fare of the community. It is in posi-
tion to reach a fair conclusion as to
the rights and interests of the con
sumers of milk, the producers of and
dealers in milk, and the District
Health Department,
By consenting to serve on the com
mIttee the men who have been chosen
as the agents of the Chamber to make
an investigation show they appreciate
the importance of the work before
them. When their character, person
Blity, and business affiliations are
considered, no promise that their probe
will be thorough and unprejudiced is
needed. When they have concluded
their inquiry, and when their report is
placed with the conclusions reached by
The District Commissioners after the
milk hearing they viii give this week.
we will undoubtedly be in possession
of information upon which the mill
controversy can be eIuably settled for
all time.

But this man Stimsonl Horrors!
He's Roosevelt's man; he's a trust
buster; he's a progressive, and so is
the man who urged his nomination OH
the convention. The old guard in the
Republican party is against Roosevelt
and StimsoE; big business is against
Roosevelt and Stimson; why, even
Charlie Murphy is against ROose-
welt and Stimson, and, so, the
journals mentioned clasp hands in a
logical cause and work together with
Charlie for the election of Charities

WHAT HAS NINETY CENT
GAS PRODUCEDi

AprOpos the interview in Sunday s
Times with "an official" Of the Wash
ington Gas-Light Company on the
question of cheaper gas or the Dis
trict, it would be interesting to know
what 9O-6eut gas has produced for the
local monopoly in the way of net
earnings
The official in question wound up
his statement yesterday with these
words:
Moreover, we believe that the people
Of Washington will be larger users
Of gas on the cheaper basis.
Just why this should be a matter of
speculation Is not clear. The Gas
Company reduced the price Of its
product from 81 TO 90 cents per thous-
and cubic feet on July l, 1899. More
than a year has passed, and in that
time the peorie of Washington have
been users of gas "on the cheaper
basis" What has been the result
Has The Gas Company made more OF
less money! Have gross earnings in
creased, aud. if so, how. much? Have
expenses increased, and, If so, how
much? How do net earnings for the
year ending June 80, 1910, compare
with net earnings for the year ending
June 80, 1909?
These are questions 10 which the
public would like answer. Now that
the melon has been cut, what objec-
ton can the gas officials have TO let
ting the people in on the secret Of the
melons size2 IF the officials are really
considering seriously further redue-
ton in the price of gas, why can't
they give the public information as
to the result Of he reduction so rc-
Gently granted?
It's barely possible that net earn
ings have been so much greater on
the 90-cent basis than on the dollar
basis that the insiders think a basis
still lower would produce even greater
earnings. IF this is true, 1t is easy 20
understand why the records of the
past year and three months are
zealously guarded. If exposed they
might point to the necessity of a re
duction too great for the comfort of
the profit takers.

ROOSEVELT, ROOM 212, AND
CHARLIE MURPHY.

What a perfectly delicious time the
New York papers are having. We have
been aware for many years that poll
tics makes strange bed-fellows, but
never, did we expect to note the spec
tacle of the World, the Sun, the Post
and the Times tucked away in Room
2l2 with Charlie Murphy.
How pleasant it must be, this opera,
tion of supporting John A. Dix, whose
name was sent from Room 2l2 to the
Democratic convention hall and jam
med through before the supine dele
gates had a chance to think twice
Charlie Murphy selected Dix, advocate
of an increased duty on wall paper, and
Dix selected as his State chairman w
A Huppuch, his associate in the wall
paper business, who asked the Ways
and Means Committee Of Congress to
increase the duty on wall paper.
Mr.. Dix, be it known, announces
himself as favoring revision of the
tariff downward.
1t is doubtful if New York has ex-
perienced in a long time a situation
so thoroughly humorous and devoid OF
logic as that in which the metropolitan
press Is the center. Henry L. StimsOn
trust buster, is presented to the people
as a menacing character because his
nomination was forced against the op-
position of the bosses, and because the
forcing was done by Theodore Roose-
welt. John A. Dix is presented to the
people of New York as the savior of
the State; the man who viii head off
new nationalism; who Will drive the
Black Horse Cavalry out of Albany;
who will put an end to corruption; Mr..
Dix, in fact, is the political Diogenese
whose lantern would burn to a crisp
corruptly tainted and sordidly selfish
politicians.
1t happens that Charlie Murphy is
the Dix lantern bearer; the same Muir
ply from whom the World invited
