During the afternoon Roosevelt
motored about the city, taking in

When he returned he ordered an.

Although the British embassy
sanctioned the kaiser's attendance
at the maneuvers today, saying it
did not reflect on the genuineness
Of the kaiser's grief, the wisdom of
the action is generally doubted
here. The chancellor was among
those who objected before the trip

to listen to the chancellor advice.

Warden Nowlin of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last Of the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesticated. Several
ranchmen in the Rocky mountain coun-
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the pri-
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barret Littlefeld, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising Of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest
ern Colorado J. B. Dawson, a Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head Of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
In nearly every state in the Union
the killing of deer is forbidden ex-
cepting in the fall and during a lin
tied period If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand is there.

GREAT FIRE AT BRUSSELS
Exposition Building and Most of Val

A fire at Brussels which start
ed in the Belgian section of the inter

the Belgian and English exhibits and
damaged all the other sections, includ-
ing the American. The loss is esti-

During the progress of the fire the
exhibit of the diamond industry was
burned and pillagers invaded the ruins
to hunt for the gems. The police has
tened to the scene and were about to
seize the looters when the cry was
raised that the wild animals in Bos-
tocks exhibit had escaped. There was
a wild stampede and in the midst of
the excitement the robbers got away
with many gems.
The fire spread to Avenue Sol
bosch, adjoining the exposition and
forty private houses are on fire there.
After the exposition buildings had
been blazing for some time the fire
men blew up a number of buildings
with a view to checking the progress
Of the flames.

ures in the French section was Robins

There were also in the French section
eight Goblin tapestries and hundreds
