Governor Sanders insisted that New Or
 leans is the logical point for holding the big show. while MT. Gould pointed to the fact that San Francisco has 17,500O00 to expend on 1t and is asking no aid of Congress. The reception each speaker re- ceived indicated that the congress is di- vided on the subject of lending its in dorsement.

 can Live Stock association of Denver, and Congressman w. P. Borland of Kan sas City, representing the Fifth Missouri district, delivered address before the con- vention. MT. DeRicqles spoke on Live Stock and Transportation.' and MT. Bor- land on Inland Waterways

BURRS AND OTHER OFFICERS
 OF COMPANY STILL IN JAIL

any business dealings with you and l have been wondering what was the req son To be frank with you, we are about as discouraged with the mining business as you are and we decided to discontinue all mining operations and direct olr energies toward the financing and devel- oping of California oil properties.
 We have been sending to you reg ularly our magazine Securities and if you have been reading it you must have noticed the splendid success we have met in our oil operations. The Coalinga Aladdin oil company the New York Coalinga oil company and the Consolidated are all companies that have been financed and developed by us, and they are all three conspicuous successes In the Coalinga field, and we can look forward to a time not far distant when all three of those com paying California oil companies.
 Would you like to change, upon a reasonable basis, the stock you hold In the British American Copper Mines and Smelling company for stock in one of our active oil companies?
 From your standpoint such an ex- change would seem very advantageous, as your British American stock, as it now stands, is of little or no value, and would perhaps be the only way Of saving the money you have invested in British-American stock"

RESCUED FROM
 BURNING MINE

Canyon City, November 22.-All the miners caught in the workings of the Fremont mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, which took fire in an underground mule stable late this afternoon, are being hoisted to the surface one by one through an airshaft which offers the only way of escape.
 More than 160 have reached the sur face and mine officials declare that all but two of the men employed under ground have been communicated with and are known to be safe. It is hoped these two also are safe.
 The fire has been driven to the main haulage shaft by ventilating air cur rents and the main shaft is now burn ing fiercely. Many of the miners still underground have bratticed themselves in chambers where the air Is good and will await rescue parties before at tempting to reach the air shaft The main passages are full of smoke and they were ordered to wait until the fan at the air shaft could clear the passages before attempting to escape

FEEDING THE WILD THINGS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
Around our house are many trees with
holes in them which are occupied by the
squirrels and birds. Every day we put
crumbs and nuts outside on the snow for
them. There are chickadees, snowbirds,
sparrows and crows. II would make you
laugh TO see the crows. There are four
of them. and while three OF them fly down
for crumbs the other one perches on
tree and keeps watch. If any one comes
he gives the signal and away they all will
fly, cawing as they go.
The squirrels are dear little things, and
they know just as we'll as we do that we
will do them no harm. They are SO tame,
One is especially tame. and comes very
often for nuts, and if he hears any noise
he sits up and looks toward the house in
such a wise way with his bright little
eyes. I forgot to say that they are red
squirrels. The birds are so tame that when
we throw crumbs to them they stay upon
the ground and wait for them. Some
times in warm weather. when we leave the
door open, the sparrows hop right into the
house and pick crumbs from the floor.
Perhaps you may think this letter is dry"
but 1 don't know how TO describe the ways
of the dear little things. If you want to
find out about them, spend winter in the
country and see how tame they are. Your
friend. EDITH RANGER (aged 1i.

SUMMER IN THE cATsKIILs.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One
summer our family was spending the vaca-
ton in the Catskill Mountains. My younger
sister and I found great pleasure In seek
ing the interesting sights OF the wonderful
Catskills. We thought the most interest
ing thing TO be seen was a place where
water was bottled. It was very interest
ing to watch the process OF bottling the
water and to see the pure water run
through glass pipes. Many men are en-
ployed by the company. In entering the
building we first passed through the pack
ing room. and from there into the bottling
room. As I have said before, the water
runs through glass pipes. Gallon bottles
are filed with the water and corked. The
same men that I'LL the bottles put them
on rolling boards. These rolling boards
carry the bottles to the packing room
Here other men put each gallon bottle
into a separate case. Then the cases are
put on rolling boards, which carry them
to the shipping room. Visitors are always
welcome. They are always treated very
nicely and are invited TO drink as much Of
the pure water as they want We did not
go to the shipping room, so do not know
exactly how they ship the water. The
building Is very cool. because Of the fresh
water, which is constantly running through
il. All the cottages and hotels are fur
nished with the spring water, which ADDS
greatly to the comfort and delightfuiness
of the beautiful Catskill Mountains

sUNNY'S ADVENTURES.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
am going to tell you about my little rabbit,
His name is Bun-Bun. One day mother
came home with two boxes filled with little
the smaller one she gave to my friend.
You can imagine my surprise when
opened the box to find a dear little white
rabbit with large pink eyes. In the other
box was a little black and white guinea
pig. did not like him as well as / did
my rabbit. AS ii was very cold I fixed
place in the cellar for Bun, but he got out
and crawled under the furnace and red
hot coal fell down and scorced a big spot
on his lovely white fur. I felt very badly.
but on looking close 1 found that it was
only the top of the fur that was burned.
Then the weather became very mild, so I
fixed 4 house for Bun-Bun in the back
yard. with screens to let the air in 1 fed
him and had gone out to play when my

paved down the screens and had caught
Bun-Bun by the back of the neck. I ran
for a pail OF water and dashed 1t over the
cat, who was so scared that he dropped the
rabbit and ran up the fence.
I feed my rabbit carrots, cabbage and
lettuce and other green vegetables.
Hoping this may interest the readers, I
am, constant reader,

SOME TASTY DISHES.
Cream Cheese Makes Appetiz-
me and Nutritious TIdbits.

There are many delicious ways of using
cream cheese in salads. sandwiches and
desserts, and cheese, of course. always
adds much 10 the nutritive value of dish.
Cream cheese sandwiches are always ac-
ceptable at afternoon teas and small card
parties and may be varied endlessly.
Cream cheese and minced walnuts make
delicious filling. So do jam and cream
cheese. Currant jelly may be used instead
or the jam, and for change one of the
slices OF bread that form the sandwich
may be brown instead OF white. Again
one may spread thin slices of brown bread
the delicious homemade variety-with
peach marmalade and cream cheese Thin
slices or preserved ginger and cream
cheese make still another palaTable filing.
Spread thin slices of homemade bread with
little butter and then with q layer of
cream cheese. Lay the ginger over the
cheese. not mixing the two together so as
