Clifford Pinchot in a speech at
Nashville declared that party
ties among the republicans in the
west were weakening and that
the present tariff was morally
wrong. In New York the past
week Mr.. Pinchot's friend, ex-
President Roosevelt, had the re-
publican state convention en-
dorse the present tariff bill as
being a just measure and just
what the country needed. How
such bosom friends entertain
such divergent views on such
important questions is one of the

COTTON CROP CONDITIONS.

The bureau of statistics or
Monday, through its crop report
ing board, issued a statement Of
conditions as gathered through

giving an average condition Of
the cotton crop on Septembe,

The government report had de-
cided bullish influence and the
market experienced an advance
of more than a quarter of a CEN

For some time those who have
watched condition reports have
taken the position that we woulC
gather another short crop, ano

MEAT PRICES TO GO
HIGHER, SAYS SWIFT
CounseIs Consumers to Be More
Economic in Purchasing

Denver, Jan. 12.-Meat prices have
not yet reached the top notch, accord.
ing to the opinion expressed by Har
old Swift, head Of the sheep depart
ment of the Swift packing plant at
Chicago, who is here attending the
Colorado stock show.
men who have corn sell it rather
than feed it to live Stock" said Mr..
Swift. The result is a scarcity OF
live stock. The beef sent to market ia
not the best grade, because the ami.
mails are not fed thoroughly before
sold.
"As long as the scarcity continues
it is well to educate the people to use
the cheaper cuts of meat. They are
just as good as the more expensive
cuts, if cooked properly, but the PEG.
pie have come to look upon them with
disdain."
L. E. Leonard, general manager of
the Union stock yards at Chicago, de.
clared the future price of meats de-
pended upon the price of grain.
1--WE must begin to avoid waste, like
the thrifty farmers abroad" he said.
1--WE must produce o grain per
acre. Do that and we have solved the
problem of beef scarcity"

Cost Of File Protection.

Cost Of Fife Protection.
Recent investigations made by the
government. show that it costs more
th3n six times as much per capita each
year for fire protection in our cities as
It costs in the city Of Berlin, where
che figures are higher than for London
and Milan. The average per capita in
over $50 large cities in this country
IL $1.65. In Berlin the cost is 26 cents.
in London 10 cents and in Milan II
cents per capita for the year.
We can seldom take q lesson from
Europe, but this striking contrast
should serve as a hint. European
cities could not build the finder boxes
often found in America because the
material for c%lapboards, shingles and
wooden rafters is not to be had. But
as a rule the people Of those cities do
not have as roomy housing as the peo-
pie Of American cities. Europeans
build chiefly with a view to economy.
Their materials are all but fireproof
and the building restrictions rigid and
well lived up to. We cannot initiate
building methods, but we
can emulate Europeans in attention
to fire preventives and f1reproof con-
struction within congested districts.

QUAIL STARVING IN KANSAS
Governor Asks Farmers to Supply
Feed for Birds.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 12.-Deputy fish
and game wardens have been report
ing to Governor Stubs that quail and
other birda are dying in large num-
bers from starvation. The ground
throughout the state has been covered
with snow and ice for forty-two days
and the birds are unable to find grain
or ground seeds to eat.
The governor issued a proclamation
calling on farmers, and especially chill
dren, to hunt out the places where the
birds stay and to scatter grain neal
the places for the birds to eat. The
quail and other game birds are very
valuable in destroying noxious insects,
in addition to their edible qualities,
and the governor wants them pro.
tected.

at Reception.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Marquis de
Vfllalcbar, the Spanish minister, was
greatly surprised when informed that
he had been transferred. @
"You greatly surprise me-" he said.
II do not understand it at all and
there must be some mistake; don't
you think it likely that your CORE.
spondent at Madrid is in error?"
The minister was asked if anything
had occurred here which might have
led to his transfer. In reply Marquis
de V%illalobar denounced as absolutely
untrue the story to the effect that he
had been the leading figure in an un-
pleasant episode at the recent diplo.
matte reception at the White House.
On this occasion, the story ran, the
Spanish minister was separated with
the other ministers from the foreign
ambassadors and that he resented this
discrimination.

A Secret. of the Frozen North.

A Secret. of the Frozen North.
This ista good time to spring a polar
story, and perhaps that accounts for
the revival Of the Andree legend about
his having reached Canada and per-
tshed there after rounding the pole.
Two days after Andree assembled. with
two companions, from a point in north
western Spitzbergen in 1907 he dis
patched a pigeon message. which was
FOUND the fourth day after the ascen-
sion. The balloon had made 145 miles
In two days, and that is the last word
from the i'll fated explorer.
Andree carried along thirteen buoys,
each having a special significance,
TO be cast overheard at various stages
OF his flight. The one designed to in
dictate the passing Of the pole, minus
any message, turned up two years
after the ascension in the coastal cur
rents of Spitzbergen. How far it had
been north could not be conjectured.
There is something plausible in this
tale from the Canadian wilds about "a
house falling from the sky" among
the Indians. who looked upon the event
sas a miracle and cached the imple-
ments and fittings OF the strange Wis
5itant. likewise the bodies Of. three
men found in, the debris. The place
~ not hard to visit, and without doubt
this latest .clew, win lead to apothe'
romantic polar search.
