State Board Of Horticulture

The State Board of Horticul-
ture OF Wyoming has just issued
a very neat pamphlet entitled
Fruits Adapted to Wyoming"
Ii you are interested in fruit cul-
ture, or are curious or anxious to
see what is being done in that line
IN Wyoming, drop a postal to
Prof. Aven Nelson, secretary,
Laramie, Wyoming, and he will
send you this pamphlet, or he will
mail it to any friend in the east
to whom you wish it sent. The
booklet shows growing apple trees
heavy with fruit and also pears
and currents. Some of the pic
lures are taken of the apple ex-
hibit at the state fair at Douglas,
1909. The pamphlet is a surprise
even to those who have believed,
heretofore, that fruit could be sue
cessfully grown here in Wyoming.
Why not try it? Send to Prof.
Nelson for this pamphlet and you
will be persuaded to try to raise
some apple trees yourself.

do at the age of 10 years. Her

Her hearing is good and she is in

by a great many people, who knew
her for a good, kind, loveable old

ceedingly rad ical departure from
the past practice of the govern
ment as it not only fixes a never
ending federal toll upon the coal
resources of the western states
but it would probably lead to the
establishment of the federal police

mining operations
On the maximum rates fixed in
the bill the state of Pennsylvania,

would have paid into the federal
treasury for ihe year 1907 approx
imately TWENTY-FIVE million dollars.
Wyoming would have paid last
year about one ard a half millions.
"Senate bill No. 54SS provides
for II lease system for oil or gas,
similar in a general way, to the
bill providing for the disposal of
coal. Both this bill and the coal
bill places in the hands of the
secretary of the interior the right
to Withdraw, at his pleasure, from
entry, such portion of the surface
of oil and coal lands as he may
see fit; also would grant him auth
ority to restrict development and
production.
"Senate bill No. 54S6 relates to
water powers on the public do
main; provides for permanent
withdrawal of all lands which the
secretary of the interior believes
might be used in connection with
water power development. AS
this would necessarily have to be
practically absolute it would either
prevent or greatly restrict the use
of such lands for any purpose. 1t
proposes a permanent charge to
be paid into the federal treasury
from water power development
and contains many provisions
which it is believed are in dero-
CATION to the rights of the people
within the states.
Senate bill No 54S9 is a bill
to provide for the sale of timber
and timber lands. 1t would affect
Wyoming principally thru repeal
of the timber and stone act, giving
nothing in lieu of it. We have
little, if any, public land averag-

mondell on Ballinger's
Conservation Bills

the Cheyenne Tribune, Mr.. Mon
dell states his position with rela-
t;on TO the administration land
ond conservation measures in the
following clear and forciable man.
ner:
"There have been many mistate-
ments in some newspapers as to
nv position with regard to certain
bills prepared by the secretary of
the interior. The purpose of
which it has been stated is to car
nv out the recommendations of the
Presidents message with regard
to conservation and while / am
fully confident you understand my
position / have thot it might not
be amiss to state it briefly and
that you might be interested in
seeing the bills.
THE secretary of the interior
suggested to me that he would be-
glad TO have me introduce these
bills if J felt that I could concienc-
iousIy do SO. After looking them
over | informed the secretary that
as the bills did not accord
with my views in the main,
either as to their purpose
or as to their form, l could not
concientiously, either in justice to
myself or in fairness to the adj
ministration, introduce them as
mine, but that l should be glad to
introduce them by request. 1t
was not deemed wise to have the
bills introduced in this form, and
there the matter ended as far as /
was concerned.
Later, Mr.. Nelson introduced
these bills in the senate, stating
that they had been drawn in the
interior department and were in
tended to carry out the recommen-
dations with regard to 'Conserva-
ton contained in the Presidents
message. ] am enclosing copies
of the bills for your information.
They are rs follows:
Senate bin No. 54S4 proposes
the classification If al! the public
lnirI> and their division into ug-
ncultural lrn,is noi requiring ir-
rlgail"n, irri4nb'- agricultural
l"n'is, water power lands, timber
lands, cmal imlnis. oil land-, natural
gas lands "a d niln r divisions.
ut has ever been general,
believed that any such ciassitica
iIon could intr;l'ptully br made
h"u II would tn' an entire Iever sd
OF Il policy ~ provide, rs the
ol | proposes, that such classitica-
ton shall be final and conclusive.
Ii such classification is had it
would, of course follow that all
the laws would have to be made to
tit the classitications.
Senate bill No 54S5 authorizes
The secretary of the interior TO
withdraw public lands from loca-
ton, settlement, filing and entry:
Pending submission to congress
OF recommendations as to legaliza-
ton respecting the land withdrawn
lf,'n his opinion. such conditions
and emergencies exist as to re-
qulre the temporary withdrawal
OF the lands pending congressional
considerations
The bill also allows the secret
airy to withdraw for the purpose
OF examination and classification.
1t might be pertinent to suggest,
IN view of the widespread with
drawals which have been made
without specific authority of law,
That Withdrawals under this legis-
%lation, and rewithdrawels, would
De likely to- be so genaral as to
amount, at one time and another

other words, it would pass the
making of public laws from the
congress to the executive.

average individual unacuuainted with
this particular trade The importa-

round numbers, in 1908. to 100000
pounds. valued at $4,000, while the
quantity imported in the decade end

Shakespeare's Gre etest Play.

It is Impossible to sly which of
Shakespeare plays is the greatest"
1t is safe to say that th,- greatest of
his productions are The Tempest"
Julius Caesar" Hamlet" Lear"
Macbeth" and "Otnelio" but to pitch
upon any one of these six, or of the
others, as being the greatest would be
bit of objectionable temerity 1t is
a question of individual taste and
judgment Some claim that Hamlet
bears the palm, others are found to be
in favor of giving that high honor to
Macbeth" while each one of his Is
or 20 greater plays seems the great
est" to some people Perhaps the
most talked of. if not tire most popu-
lar, of the ShakespeaTean dramas is
Hamlet" while the majority of the
profounder Shakespea~ car critics
unite in pronouncing The Tempest"
to be the high-water mark of the great
dramatist's wonderful genius.

must surely be made of the statue of
Sir Sidney Waterlow, erected in the
otherwise beautiful park bearing his
name on the western slopes of High
gate hill. 1t would take the skilled
pen of an expert on the staff of the
Tailor and Cutter to do full justice to
the sartorial beauties of the sculp-
tors art. To the layman the out
standing features are Trilby hat and
an umbrella in one hand; a key, prob
ably meant as symbol, but rather
suggestive of prehistoric sanitary ar
rangements, in the other, and the
body clothed in frock coat and an
overcoat. The name of the sculptor
is not visible on the monument, and
the park keepers will not divulge it.
They are either ignorant or kindly

Abyssinia. who is reported to be

ing the immediate succession of the
heir apparent, is lady who was once
a great beauty and who had four pre-
vious husbands before she became the
wife of Menelik Her first husband
was one of King Theobald's generals,
her second she divorced, her third
was killed by King John, her fourth
was, as has been euphemistically eX-
pressed, removed" and in 1863 she
married the late emperor The fact is
sometimes lost sight OF that many of

gin and is one of the oldest Christian
bodies in the world

Game and AirShips,

European sportsmen are, it is said,
worried over the effect of airships on
game. All animals, and particularly
game animals, are frightened by large
objects in the air, and often become
frantic upon their near approach. This
fact has been frequently noted by
travellers in balloons, dirigibles and aer-
oplanes. Any general use of flying
machines would therefore result, ar
que the sportsmen, in frightening the
game into inaccessible regions. But
just here lies the beauty of the air
ship; no regions are inaccessible to
it. Jungles. swamps, deserts, noun
tain peaks, present no difficulties to
the aerial sportsmen. And, besides,
there is every reason to argue that
long before the air lanes reach the
congested state foreseen by the sports
men all the game animals not exter-
minated will be "airship broken"

letter he wrote over his own sigma

revelation has ever been made" Upon
the questions of God and the future
life he was an out-and-out agnostic,
claiming that they were matters that
had never been settled and concern
ing which he had no right to make
any statement He never once denied
the existence of a personal God or a
future for men after death. but con-
tented himself with saying, Il know
nothing about them. one way or the

Inc Calm of GaIiiee.

The calm of Galilee on a perfect
morning of spring is like no other
calm have ever known. 1t Is gentler
sweeter than the wonderful calm of
the desert. There you seem to be
coming into the very presence of God
the Father. AS you draw near to
Galilee, it is as if, with the handful
of humble fishermen. you drew near to
God the Son. Galilee takes your hand
as a friend, and draws you to it. 1t
seems to breathe upon you and give
you peace.-Century.
