GONG WELL KEEP
TAFT EATING At
EXPRESS SPEED
HURRY WILL BE THE WATCH
WORD or DINNER FOR PREsI-
DENT ON ST. PATRick's
DAY.

President Taft will experience thu
sensation of eating on time schedule
when he dimes at the annual banquet
Of the Irish Fellowship club at the
Hotel L,aSalle on March II, according
TO statement made by Patrick H.
O'Donneli Thursday night. The presi-
dent must catch a train out of Chi
cago at II p. m. and for that reason
gong manipulated by Manager George
Gazely will sound at certain intervals
and the dishes will be removed from
the table regardless of whether the
diners are through with the course
served Or not. There Is to be no ex-s
ception to this rule. and ii is said that
the president will have TO eat fast to
keep pace with the schedule.
This rule was passed upon at a
meeting of the Irish Fellowship club
last night held at the LaSalle hotel.
The banquet Is set for o'clock sharp
in the evening, st. Patrick's day, and
all arrivals after that hour will be
turned away. The members of the
arrangement committee are DESTROYS
Of impressing the Importance of ar
irving on time at the banquet, as it is
imperative that the president leave
the table in time to catch his train.
Walters Drilled for Speed.
The arrangements for the reception
of President Taft has been completed
and large corps of walters will serve
the guests. The walters are to be
drilled in making the most speed pos
sible and when the last gong rings at
10 o'clock the tables will come down
and will be cleared away
It is said that this arrangement was
made on the suggestion of the presi-
dent SO that no delay might be ex-
perienced, and 1t Is intimated that
there may be a surprise in store for
him, for when the gong strikes his
plate will slide gracefully from under
his hand and he will Sc it float across
the room, borne by a man clad neatly
in the costume of the knight of the
table Speed will be the goal of every
man who attends the banquet and it
is needless to say that the Twentieth
Century limited will be outdone.
Time Allowed for Courses.
Three minutes will be allowed for
the consumption of the consomme, FIVE
minutes for the oysters. fifteen min
utes for the roast, with one minute
and half allowed for each cordial.
Ten minutes will be allowed for the

Stevenson against the merchant ma

GUESSING AS TO
MANEUVER GROUND
The NORTH DAKOTA NATIONAL
GUARD ON THE oUI VlvE AS TO
PLACE OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
RILEY, SPARTA AND AMERICAN
LAKE POSSIBILITIES.

There seems to be q whole lot OF
guessing going on as 10 where the
North Dakota national guard will en-
camp next summer. Recently IT was
reported on good authority, although
not officially, that the troops of this
state would go to American Lake,
Wash, again. Now word is going the
rounds Of military circles in the north
western states that North and South
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin will
encamp and hold msneuvers in con-
nection with a portion of the regular
army at Sparta, Wis.
This Is reported here in Fargo but
there is nothing officially back of 1T
as far IS can be learned. A report
comes from Aberdeen, s. D., stating
that Col, A. s. Frost announced at the
inspection of the company at that
place that the four states above named
would go to Sparta.
Capt. @. G. Grafton, commander of
Co B. of this city, said today that he
had heard this report but that he be-
lieved there was nothing official in
It, There is a. lot Of guessing going
on Just at the present time az to where
the troops of this state will go, but so
far nothing Of an official nature has
been given out" was the way he put
II. Fort Riley. Kan. has also been
mentioned as possible encamping
place.
The troops of this state are very
anxious to go to American Lake again
this summer. They took this trip two
years ago and found conditions at that
maneuver ground so admirable that
they want to go again. 1t is the gem
eral opinion too, that the encampment
will be held there.

new PINE TREE
NURSURY OF MONT.

Missoula, Mont, March 8. = A few
weeks hence, when the frost is out of
the ground, the department of agri-
culture will plant new garden to
raise 10000 pine seedlings. .'-F' .. ...
The Savenac nursery, the twenty
fifth of its kind maintained by the de-
partment of agriculture for its forest
work, is. situated in the Lolo national
forest on Savenac creek, Montana,
near De Borgia. The ground was plow-
ed and narrowed last fall, the irriga-
ton bitches run. and an ample! water
system installed The tract will be
laid out in $50 beds. each four feet Ly
twelve. over these will be broadcast
the best of, the seeds of native conifers
gathered in the forest the past autumn
To prevent mice and birds from eating
the seeds each bed will be protected
by lath and wire frame. This will
also serve to shade the, delicate plant
let's during the tender period of their
first years life, A water system will
supply the means of sprinkling the
seeds and irrigating the young trees
during the warmer, 'drier months One
man will be kept constantly at work
watering the thirsty soil and otherwise
caring for his interesting charge.
The Savenac nursery will have an
annual productive capacity Of /, 500, 900
seedlings, When year old-begin-
ming probably in the spring of 1911
these will be set out in transplant
beds. where they will be expected to
develop in two years more into re-
spectacle young trees, Thence they
will be removed to their permanent
home in the hills of the Lolo national
forest. Planting and direct seeding
will be done on the great burned areas
visible to passengers on the trains of
the Occur d'Alene branch, and also on
extensive burns around the headwaters
of the Rattlesnake river in the Mis-
soula forest The work is designed to
add to the national timber. supply in
the coming years and to aid in the
regulation of the flow of Montana
mountain waters The Savenac nur-
sery will bring the aggregate annual
plant producing capacity of the twen-
ty-fiVe national forest nurseries up to
100000 seedlings. '''''''.--

Two weeks ago pork chops were re-

formerly sold from II to 20 cents, is

in price of ham is Identical. Lard,

Wheat Under Pressure.

Liverpool, March s-The wheat
market was under pressure of slightly
increased offerings prompted by the
early American cables yesterday and
the pressure to sell Australian steam
ers due off the coast Following the
opening the market showed further
decline Of A6Ac with moderate
realizing in the weakness in Buda
Pesth and predictions Of further
heavy increase in the European Wis
ible and expectations of liberal ship
nents from Argentina this week
These influences were partially offset
by the fact that there was no pres
sure to sell La Plata cargoes and this
had a steadying effect. At midday the
market was steady at the decline and
%Ghc lower than yesterday
Corn was nominally a penny lower
on the cheaper American offerings
and the weakness in American cables.

PRESIDENT TAFT

washington. March s.-President
Taft is not as strenuous in his sports
and exercises as his predecessor but he
is getting to be quite an tdept with the
gloves and 1t will probably be news to
many that there is hardly day he is
in Washington that he does not have
round of boxing. wrestling and such
ike violent exercises.
He does not do this because he likes
it particularly. but he has found 1t is
good for his health and helps keep him
in shape for the work Of the day.
DIR. Charles r. Barker is Mr. Taft's
sparring partner. and their set-tos are
held the first thing in the morning,
generally before the rest OF the Taft
family have arisen. The president
would find 1t utterly impossible to
weigh in. even at the welterweight
limit. while DR. Barker. in condition.
will barely tip the scales at the light
weight. so when they shape UP for the
bout, they compare as would Battling
Nelson and Ed Dunkhorst. the human
what some years ago would have been
called bully time.
DR.. Barker took charge of Mr. Taft
IN 15U3 men MS patient was the sec
rotary of war. and a patient in the
strietest sense of the word. Now 1t is
different, and the doctors patient is
the nations president, and the nation
is entitled to know how he is taking

are, and the usual stock of dumbells
