LESSONS IN CoDYS LAST BUFFALO

OOL. WILLIAM +. CODY, cndearingly
known as Buffalo Bill has killed his last
- buffalo. Apparently this is actual TACT
with the colonel and is not after the diva style OF
continuous fareweIls Not that the well advertised
Snowman would not do it again, but because i'll his
line of art the field is limited. There are only
1900 buffalo LETT in America since his unerrlng rifle
at the Lille ranch near Guthrie brought the two
thousandth one low All of them are i'll private
herds or public parks and have become so cNpens-
i've that the price is beyond reason, even Tor ad-
vertisng purposes.
However. the spectacle is impressive as mark
ing an epoch Within the memory of Col. Cody
buffalo traversed the plains i'll such vast numbers
that no estimate could be made OF the size OF the
Iherds ONLY little while before the abOrgincs
had treated the buffalo as a gift from the Great
Spirit Indians did not hunt buffalo for sport
until taught by the example of white men. \ tribe
often camped down the wind from feeding herd
cautiously killed animals that followed good graz
ling and detached themselves from the man body
and remained for considerable periods within the
vicinity of a bountifu supply of fresh meat. In
earlier military operations in the west federal
troops found it possible to adopt the Indian plan
Iof using a buffalo herd meat supply without
frightening the animals and causing a stampede.
But the repeating rifle and the butcher sports
man soon came to the plains. Buffalo running
and shooting thirsty animals at watcrholes and
rivers by the light OF fires kindled along shore be-
Icame sorry forms of sport lnnumeraDle Du1aIoeS
were LETT for the yutures they fell, Others were
skinned and left. The carnage continued until the
greatest herd of wild cattle ever discovered almost
completely disappeared. There are now about 2OO0
bison scattered about in the United States and
Canada in small herds in parks or upon fenced
ranches, or kept in menagerles, The ml9hueSt
hunter" whose boast was that he killed siXty-hve
buffalo in one day, surviving the passing OF the
herd that supplied him with targets, appears as the
central figure in tableau upon an Oklahoma ranch
that tvpihcs feature of the advance OF the white
man across the American continent. The Osages
and the Pawnees who accompanied him are, like
the bison, picturesque figures lingering upon the
horizon as the sunset marks the end OF the day Of
the wild bison that roamed at will across an I'M
fenced country from Canada to Mexico, and of the
equally wild Indian who once looked upon the con-
tinent as his and was unacquainted with the res
ervations and ratons from the agency, or with the
ownership of oil wells and automobiles, and par
ticipation in college sports.
Col. Cody killing his last buffalo draws atten-
ton to the brevity OF the period covered by the
building Of an empire in the west

NO EVIDENCE OF SPIRIT

Editor Herald: Spectator, writing in
the Public Letter Box, wants to know
lin words that mean something
whether mans soul continues to exist
after physical death. There is an
enormous bulk of evidence collected by
psychic research societies in support
of the souls Immortality. But this
evidence, although in some instances
most conclusive, fails to reach the
skeptic, and the reason is that all evil
dence of immortality, to be of any
lasting benefit to the inquirer, must
be felt in his religious faculties and
not merely understood by his intellect.
I have known materiaistic Spiritual
lists hunting for objective proof of i'm
mortality for nearly half a century
and never long be satisfied with the
evidence. 1t had to be continually re-
newed to stimulate their vanishing
faith.
Spectator wants light and logic, and
not flowers of empty Verbiage," but
there is no infallible dicta that will
supply the evidence to everybody;
what is evidence to one person may
not be evidence to another. Yet | be-
lieve that psychological science not
the pSyChOlOgiCal science manufactured
by materialistic college professors) will
prove most conclusively the existence
and the immortality of the soul But
let every inquirer refrain from mere
logical disputation, for the evidences
of immortality naturally flow through
the higher faculties of intuition and
reflection. Mere logic is generally a
species of mental jugglery and no
source of plain truth.

OPPOSES SKYsCRAPERs

Editor Herald: l think we must
commend the wisdom of our city coun-
ell refusing to permit an increase
in the height of buildings.
There is no reason why this city
should encourage these mOnstrositles,
as we have abundance of room in
which to spread out. They are not a
thing of beauty and do not add to the
grandeur of any city, and the skyline
Of other cities which have permitted
them from necessity is hideous and
ugly.
We do not want to cause any greater
congestion in our streets than will be
caused by a uniform development OF
structures of the present limit, as 1t is
quite plain, judging from their present
crowded condition that if all the pres
ent Iusiness district was uniformly
built to the present limit we would
have all we could do to get around in
fomfort
Nor is it right to think OF granting
any special privilege of this kind now,
after having denied it to all the enter
prising owners who have shown their
confidence in the city by building
heretofore.
Let the city spread out, divide up
its business, give other property own
ers a chance to reap some benefit from
our growth.
Why should the municipality help
Mr. Merritt in his desire to make a
fitting memorial to his fathers con-
spicuous by putting the whole city of
Los Angeles behind it? And as the Los
Angeles Investment company admitted
they could afford to rent the stories Of
their proposed building which would
go above the present building limit
cheaper and so obtain more profit, as
they would figure no land cost against
their construction it would operate to
prevent some other property owner to
Just that extent of profitable oppor-
tunity to make use of his land

CRITICISM FOR TAFT

Editor Herald: | wish to reply to
cne OGrady, presumably fellow
townsman, who in a recent cOmmunica-
ton commencing President Taft for
promoting Justice White, stated that
the Socialist party is bitterly opposed
to the Catholic church, refers to said
church as the best friend of the work
ingman and in conclusion declared
that Taft stood up for the rights OF
the church in the Philippines.
Now, | have no desire to enter upon
a discussion OF religion. To me reli-
gious beliefs are ineXplicable except
in this: that l can understand how,
when any certain creed is instilled and
drilled into the plastic mind Of a child
by parent or priest who is revered
as an infallible fountain of truth and
knowledge, that particular belief be-
comes a part Of its very being and
when the person reaches maturity he
can no more put it from him than can
a crooked tree. bent when a tWig,
straighten itself. Religious intolerance
mas transformed rational beings into
fiends incarnate and drenched the
earth with innocent blood. on the
other hand, religious zeal sends self
sacrificing men and women to the ut
termost parts of the earth TO carry
their gospel to the sO-called heather.
| cannot commend the president for
promoting Justice White for the rea-
son that. in my opinion, no man no

FINANCIAL PROPHETS ARE SILENT

TT HERE does not seem to be any rush on the
part of New York fnanciers to pose as
prophets of either prosperity or calamity for
the coming year. Los Angeles is far enough from
Wall street to be independent and go on being
prosperous without asking permission OF the
money center.
Last year there was an abundance of prophets
at this time All of them said 1910 to be a
marvel of prosperity, but they changed their
minds when they discovered that the administra-
ton was taking the subject of regulating corpora
tions seriously. Now they possibly are awaiting
the results of the rate decisions before telling the
rest of the country what kind OF business condi-
tions it is to be permitted to have.
Apparently the only trouble about prophecies
by financers of national reputation is that they
shape them according to their own desires and
motives

SAYS EGO PERSISTS

Editor Herald: Allow me to answer
the best and most important question
that l have seen in the Letter Box:
Does the ego persist, and what re
mains" after it has passed the so
called portals of death. It enters into
the neW mode of consciousnessl
spirit life'-With the education and
development it had in the body, to
evolve in the new state of conscious
ness, which is the spiritual law, to
continually progress from the terres-
trial to the celestial, ever keeping its
identity, becoming more and more in
dividualizcd, like unto the perfect mind
divinity (the purpose Of life) is to ma
cure a spiritual being, which all stu
dents know who make a study of dag
nosing conditions and controlling them.
Mind over sO-called matter and the re-
suits are so startling and convincing
that the mind can readily grasp-does
the ego persist, as life is eternal.

ASKS BUILDING FOR DULUTH

Editor Herald: Having read an ar
ticle in your paper about Mr.. Merritt 5

the city council refuses the offer of
such a magnificent building as is
planned why not try Duluth? 1t has
been your home, Mr.. Merritt, and the

Surprising Facts About the Patent
Medicine Business.

'The Fourth Estate" has been warn
ing publishers about the risk in allow
ing credit to new medicine concerns. It
is said that there have been only one
or two Of the thousands of new pro-
prietary medicine houses which have
made any considerable money that have
started the past twenty years and only
a few more that have met with even
moderate success. It; is the general i'm
preston that the business is immensely
profitable while the facts are that there
is larger percentage of failures than
in any other line. The new concerns
generally start with lots of confidence
in the merits of their goods and adver-
Using, but soon exhaust their capital
leaving dealers who have stocked their
medicines with unstable goods on
their shelves It is the experience OF
many publishers that have accepted
this new business that they have been
compelled to charge off their bills to
profit and loss.
There are many old and reliable
medicine houses that continue to do a
good or increasing business from year
to year but the new ones are finding
it more and more difficult to become
established.

March receipts to date are nearly
100000 less than last yexr. and the
shortage at the five principal western
points since Jan. 1, compared with
1909, is now about 100000.
The average weight of hogs re-
ceived at Chicago last week was 22(
pounds, against PIG the previous week
and 2O9 a year ago. This does no:
mean that a lot of big hogs arrived
but the few pigs and lights are show
ing up, making the bulk of the croF
weigh 2o0@250 pounds which insures
a high average weight.
There has been no perceptible
change in the consumptive demand
for meats and lard during past week
and the cash premiums which are be

indicate to what extreme short sellers
may be forced before they are able to

cattle shortage for so many years that
ths country became skeptical. Glaring
headlines would announce that range
cattle were about all gone and immedi-
ately there would come q deluge from
the big western ranges that would make
the proposition look silly. All the time,
however, there was gradual cleaning
up and this, carried on for number of
years. is now resulting in shortage
which is as real as it is serious, says
the Denver Record Stockman. 1t took
several years Of continued cleaning
up" to bring it about and it is no doubt
going to take several years of breeding
to remedy.
The steer market may experience an
occasional setback, but 1t can not last
long.
The recent jump in hog prices Is an
other instance of the strong grip which
the producers have on the situation
just now.
