HINT TO PANAMA.
Not to Sell Its Timber Lands to For
eigners Is Given.

Washington. Dec. 23.-In answer to
an inquiry by the state department as
to the exact effect of recent legislation
in Panama regarding foreign owner
ship of lands in the republic it is learn
ed that the decree simply removes a
prohibition upon holding of Panama
lands by aliens whose government does
not permit Panamaians to hold lands
in their countries. AS many of the
American states prohibit alien land
lordship, Americans would under the
old law be unable to secure title to
lands in Panama, a situation which is
met by the new legislation.
There is no information in the state
department to indicate the existence Of
a plan for the wholesale acquisition of
lands in Panama by foreigners. The
department, however, has not failed 70
let it b. known to the government If
Panama that it would view with regret
any wholesale and inconsiderate dis
posal of the timber lands in the re-
public to foreign syndicates. The OBJ
lection is based upon sound public
policy having regard not only for the
business interest of Panama but of
possible serious injury to the Panama
canal resulting from the deforestation
of the country.

DR.. COOK HOME TO STAY
Will Devote His Life to Trying to Con-
vince the People.

New York, Dec. 23.-Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, from a temporary refuge at the
home of his brother in Brooklyn, today
telephoned to his interviewers that he
intended to devote his life to con-
vincing the American people that he
really thought he had reached the
north pole. When the traveller arrived
last night from Europe he announced
he would go to the Waldorf-Astoria to
spend the night. Instead he went to
the home of his brother in Brooklyn.
Asked over the telephone today if he
was going to stay in this country, DR..
Cook said:
Certainly am, most certainly. L
am. I never had any other intention
than to return to my native land. I
am an American citizen, entitled 20
protection under the American flag.
and I expect to claim that protection
My wife and my two children, who are
now abroad, will shortly rejoin me ard
we will make our home here"

NO THIS DOES NOT PAY.
How Restaurant Man Fails to Pro-
fit by Business.

Does Topeka make a profit from
the men on the state payroll who have
their residence in this city? Is the
question a man about town asked
the State Journal today after seeing
a state official at breakfast at a down
town restaurant. The man about town
might well ask that question if the
story he told about the breakfast was
true. He said:
Il saw this official eating his
breakfast and 1 went over to talk to
him. He was eating pancakes. He
had four fat cakes on his plate and
beside him sat glass of water and
q little dish filled with two big pieces
of butter He buttered his cakes
poured all the contents of a quart jug
OF syrup over them, and then fished
them out from this pond, this lake,
and ate them. He washed them down
with a glass of water and took his
check for ten cents and paid his bill
in a majestic way at the cashiers
counter.
81 will always believe that the res
taurant man lost money on that break
fast. Had the guest ordered anything
else besides the cakes the host might
have had a chance to recuperate his
losses. But he did not. not even cof-
fee. Figure it out yourself. A quar-
ter of a pound of butter, at 80 cents
per pound; a quart of syrup. at forty
cents gallon! half pound of wheat
flour at three cents a pound; a quar-
ter of a pound of ice in the water, at
fifty cents per hundred; waiter SER
vice, light, heat, rent, dishwashing,
laundry of ma plzin, interest on invest
ment in furniture and fixtures, wages
to cashier who collected the dime, add
all these items up in proportion and

ORANGES AND WINE.
Freely Distributed at Washington by
Frisco Lobby.

washington, Dec. 23.-The San
Francisco delegation that is here to
put through legislation that will give
that city the Panama canal exposition
is the most active lobby Washington
has seen in years. Every member of
the house and senate has received
from the Californians large box of
California oranges, accompanied by a
case of California wine. There seems
to be no question that the Californians
have made a pleasing impression with
these Christmas gifts. New Orleans
boomers look cross every time they
see a man eating an orange.

been selling on its merits so far this
fall. but the mood of the market Is
changing, and the bullock. with quail

The demand for feeder cattle Is
still strong at the same range or
prices that have ruled during the
early fall. and cattle are going back
into the country at a rapid rate to
consume the immense corn crop which
was never before harvested with SO
little loss This feeder demand is an

November that direction is down

In the same direction, thank fortune,
