NOW in LAND OF
HIS FOREFATHERS
Roosevelt and Party Mt The Hague.
Received by Queen Wilhelmina
and Prince Henry.

THE HAGUE--Specinl.-
dOre Roosevelt Friday entered the
Land of his fOrefathers. He was
received by the Queen of the
Netherlands with all the hOnOrs
an emperor might expect. When
the Roosevelt party arrived at the
frontier station OF ROOSendaaI,
they were met by a special train
sent at the direct request OF
Queen WIIheImina.
A distinguished party of officials
and military men formed the recep-
ton committee, among them being Ar
thur Beaupre, the American minister.
A day OF much travel had been map
Ped out for the former President.
From the border the special train
started for Het Loo, nearly eighty
miles west of The Hague, where
Queen Wilhelmina awaited the ma
TONS guest at the famous castle. At
Het Loo Mr.. Roosevelt was received
in the main hall of the palace by the
Queen and Prince Henry.
Their welcome was so cordial as to
seem entirely personal, formality be-
ing left in the background to be sup
piled by the troops and retainerS in
and about the palace. The royal
coach used on gala occasions by the
royal family was put at the disposal
Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
BRUSSELS Special-Theodore
Roosevelt's brief stay in Brussels
came to an end Friday morning with
one of the most enthusiastic ovations
that the former President has received
since he emerged from the African
Jungle. The Roosevelt party left for
the Netherlands on the 1853 train,
given god-speed by a great crowd
which damned the station and filled
the streets about.
All the pomp that has marked the
departure of Mr.. Roosevelt from other
cities was observed here. Foreign
Minister DaVignon bid him farewell
on behalf of the Government and there
were at the depot, besides the throngs
OF commoners, representatives of the
king, the army and the navy.
An interesting feature of Mr..
Roosevelts stay here was his meet
ing with Colonial Minister Renken,
with whom he discussed the situa-
tion in the Congo, and commented on
the plans for reform promises under
taken by King Albert after the death
of his predecessor, Leopold.
Before the departure, a formal in
vftation was delivered to Mr.. Roose-
Welt from the Burgomaster and the
Councillors OF Antwerp. asking him
to halt there for luncheon on his way
10 Het Loo.
The Independence Beige prints a
statement TO the effect that the Bel
Einn Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty 10 Animals has, through the
American legation, sent to Mr.. Roose-
Wit protest against the slaughter OF
anlrnnis on the African hunting trip.

ter to the gallon.
When Prof. Metz's analysis was
submitted to Hon. H. G. Rizer, act
ing Director of the q. S. Geologi-
cal survey, he said the most inter-
esting feature to him is the pres
ence of Potassium Chloride, a de-
post of rare commercial value.
The only deposit of Potassium
salts of commercial Importance,
known in the world, is monopoliz-
ed in Germany, and it has long
been the wish of the department
that deposit of this rare and val
liable salt could be found in this
country.
This matter should be taken up
with the U. s. department again,
and the attention of our Senators
and Congressman should~be called
to the outlook. In any event, Col
fax now has two wells located a
half mile apart, each affording a
fine flow of gas, and this is prov

invaded the gas reservoir was only
1 ] inches in diameter, yet the flow
of natural gas was amply sufficient
to furnish blast for twenty-horse
engine. With larger pipe the
flow can be greatly increased. The
drill has been sunk about fifty feet
below the reservoir of gas, and the
entire depth of the well last even
ing was 7I0 feet. Mr.. Hart ex-
poets to secure an artesian flow of
water within the next fifty feet.
The we'll on the court house
square was begun in January 1899,
and was finished in June that year.

that well has gone OH from that
