Editor Register-Inasmuch as j have
received number of letters from Mary
land people, who apparently feel that the
suggestion recently made by me regard
ing the purchase OF nursery stock in that
State was discriminating in character,
permit me to say. that no such purpose
was in mind.
Prof. Symons, of the State Horticultural
Department OF Maryland, has called my
attention to the fact that the Brown lail
Moth was imported by nurserymen IN
many other States, especially the Eastern
States, and that the same or greater
danger attaches to the purchase OF nur-
sery stock in those States.
Prof. Symons is also authority tor the
statement that the fact that there was no
outbreak Of moth in the State of Maryland
during the past summer is evidence that
the activity of his department in the IN
spection of imported stock by the nur-
serymen of the State was effective, and
any danger that may have attached to the
purchase OF nursery stock in that State IS
now past.
would now suggest that wherever
nursery stock is purchased outside the
State, either in Maryland or elsewhere.
that the purchaser should see 10 it that
notice is given by the seller to the West
Virginia Experiment Station, in compliance
with the laws of our State, SO that an in
spector may be sent from the station to
examine any stock shipped into the State
when it is received.
In Justice to the Maryland nurserymen,
who feel that my article was diScrimlna-
tory, and to the Maryland State Horticul-
rural Department, desire to add that
from all the information that have been
able to receive that the department OF the
State has been very active and efficient
in its work and has had the hearty CO.
operation of the nurserymen.
Without lessening the importance OF
the warning previously given regarding
the possible purchase of stock affected
with the Brown Tail Moth, | would
broaden the suggestion so as to apply to
nursery stock coming from anywhere
outside of this State, as it is now evident
that the same conditions prevail in very
many other States, as well as in Mary
land.
Very truly yours,
J. J. CORNWELL,
President S. H. Society.

The petrified Man.

"Not very long after Barnum's Cardiff
giant went into history some young mer
appeared at Lancaster, Mo-, with the pet
rified body OF man which they SAID
they had found on their fathers farm in
Iowa while blowing" related the mar
who was telling of the incident. 1.-The
young men were exhibiting the petrified
man in tent, charging 10 cents admis-
sion. To the large and keenly interested
crowd they explained that while working
in the field one day the plow struck some
object that was hard, supposedly a rock.
The plowman stopped to remove the OBJ
struction, but could not. He called his
brother. BY their united efforts with
shovels they uncovered the rock, which
turned out to be petrified man, perfec'
in every outline.
"a great many people came to the
grave and identified the remains as a
neighbor who had gone off to war, and
returned home to mysteriously disappear
A mark under the eye and some peculiar
scars in the back were the main means
of identification, the speaker said, and
there was no doubt that the soldier had
died and turned to stone.
IA large man who had been listening
thoughtfuIlY spoke up when the speaker
had finished.
"You are sure that's Jim - p he
asked.
Certainly said the speaker. MY
father knew him well. He has positive
ly identified him.
"Know how he came to his death
"'No, sir. It's mystery.
"'Then well hold an inquest.
"In response to the amazed exclama-
ton from the oXners OF the petritied man
the inquisitor explained that he was the
prosecuting attorney of the county and
that If was his duty to see that inquests
were held In all cases where death was
mysterious. The boys protested, but in
vain. They tried to get out OF town with
their exhibit, but were arrested and put
under bond. The petrified man was laid
out in state and the coroner summoned.
He brought mallet along. The crowd
was immense, for this time the show was
free.
"'If there's anyone here who knows
how this man came to his death he will
please come forward said the prosecu-
tor.
Nobody responed, for the boys had
Jumped their bond.
"'Then will make poSt-mortem ex-
animation, said the coroner, picking up
his mallet.
"He tapped the petrified man along
side the head. 1t rolled around and
around like baby on doll rack when
the thrower hits bullseye. Then he
tapped an arm. That member also did
the twirling act, because an iron rod ran
through the center. The other arm per-
formed the same way.
"What do you find was the cause OF
death, doctor p asked the prosecutor.
"'Too much iron in the system
"Without another word he picked up
his mallet and left the death chamber.
The petrified man was patched up and
sold to a travelling Spectator for 500,
which just about covered the costs OF the
inquest. The last time heard OF thepet-
rified man he was being shown in the
Ozarks as the remains of a Persian king
who had been slain several thousand
years ago by his subjects, who thought
he was too hard.."

''I look forward to my journey to Washington with a great deal of pleasure," said the chief. "I saw many wonderful things on my first and some of them seem impossible. even yet. My memories regarding some of the sights I saw and the things learned are little hay, for I saw so much that was wonderful I was sometimes bewildered. I also hope that my journey will be of ben eft to my people. With the help of MT. Lonergan I hope to make the white officers understand what the Mohaves want and why it is right that they should have it.''
 There are 800 of the Mohaves and they will ask for forty acres apiece. That means that the Indians only want 10000 of their 240, ,OOO-acre res ervation and that 22O,OOO acres will be left for white settlers.
 The tribe is not very prosperous at present, according to MT. Lonergan. For generations the Mohaves have made their living by planting corn, beans, pumpkins and other quic kly maturing vegetables on the bottom lands of the Colorado, which are flooded when the summer rains come. This a very uncertain and not very profitable method of farming. Two or three years ago the government put in a pumping plant about two miles and half below Parker. This plant lifts water seventeen feet from the bed of the Colorado and irrigates about 220 acres of land when it is in good working order. But the pump is net much more reliable than the river floods. Last summer it broke down just when it was needed most and everything the Indians had planted, excepting their alfalfa, died.
 "Not until the government takes hold of the Colorado river reclama- tion project and carries it through to completion will the MohaYes have a certain means of Livelihood" said MT. Lonergan. "When the project is completed it will irrigate the en- tire reservation and much more land that is excellent in every way for agricultural purposes. Not only will the Indians be made prosperous, but homes will be furnished for thousands of white settlers. It is my firm be- lief, however, that if anything is done toward retaining the Parker country it must be done by the gov ernment."

CHIEF GOES
 TO CAPITAL
Manataba of the MOhaYeS on His
 Way to Washington.
THE COLORADO RESERVATION
He Will Ask Great White Father to AIIOt Indians Their Share and Throw Rest Open to Set-
 clement By Whites.

En route to Washington to inter- view the Great White Father, Man ataba, chief of the Mohaves on the Colorado Indian reservation, passed through Phoenix last week. The pur- pose of his visit to the national cap ital is to urge the early opening of the reservation to white settlers, but that before the opening the Indians be allotted the lands which they pre- fer.
 The reservation comprises 240,0 ,000 acres, nearly all of which is excellent for agricultural purposes, needing only water to make it as fertile as any in the world. All that the h. dians want is 10000 acres of this, but they think it is only just and right that they be given first choice.
 Chief Manataba is accompanied on his mission by Philip T. Lonergan, the agent in charge of the Colorado River reservation and school, situ- ated about a mile from Parker. They will go straight to Washington First they will call upon MT. Valentine, commissioner of Indian affairs, and may also have talk with Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. It is not likely that they will see President Taft.
 This will be Chief Manataba's s sec ond visit to Washington. He went to the capital in 1890 as interpreter for his uncle, Arataba, who was then chief of the Colorado River Mohaves. From Needles, which was then the nearest railroad point, they went to the Indian school at Albuquerque, and from there on to Haskell insti- tute in Kansas. Though they had no special mission in Washington, they visited that placeandtalked to Grover Cleveland, who was then president of the United States. Both were given massive silver medals in recognition of their services to the government and to their people in opposing war fare against the whites. In those days the Indians of Arizoua were not wholly reconciled to the rules of the white man and Arataba and Manata. ba prevented much trouble, probably much bloodshed, by their wise coun- sels. Manataba bears his medal with him on his present journey. It is broad silver disc, twice as thick as silver dollar, with General Grants face on one side and an appropriate inscription on the other. Manataba is justly proud of it.
 Following the death of Arataba, which occurred shortly after his jour ney to Washington, his son, Hooke- rou, became chief. Hookerou died about twelve years ago and was suc- ceeded by Manataba, who, even be- fore that time, was recognized as the wisest man of the tribe. At present he is about 60 years old. He can be justly termed a self-made man. Though he never went to school he speaks English fuently and with a grammatical correctness which is truly surprising. He has always advised the younger members of his tribe to accept the educational opportunities offered them by the government, and as a result the percentage of edu- cated Indians among the Mohaves is unusually high.

Cook Not Sure of His Polar Discovery.

Dr. Frederick A Cook, in an ar ticle which will be published in Hampton's Magazine, confesses that he does not know whether he reach ed the north pole or not.
 Dr. Cook, who has been in hiding for more than year, has informed the editors of the magazine that he will return to the United States with his wife and children on December 2 and spend Christmas here.
 Dr. Cook characterizes the polar region a "region of insanity" '" where one cannot believe the evil dence gathered by ones eyes.
 Did I get to the north pole?" he continues. "Perhaps I made a mis- take in thinking I did. Perhaps did not make any mistake. After mature thought I confess I know absolutely nothing as to whether I reached the pole or not. This may come as an amazing statement, but I am willing to startle the world if I can get an opportunity, and present my case not as geogra phical discoverer, but as a man."
 Cook declares that at the time he convinced himself he had discovered the pole he was half mad. He spent two years in his quest, during that time suffering hunger and privations that he says would unbalance any mind
