cities. The bill which the Senate
has just passed has had stormy
history. Some weeks ago Senator
Elkins of West Virginia presented
a bill i'll the Senate during the
absence of Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island, who has been in
Florida for his health. Simultsne.
ously with his return, Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, presented
a bill much less searching than the
one presented by Senator Elkins,
but Lodges bill was Immediately
taken up and reported, while Sen
ator Elkins' bill had long been
pigeon-holed. The reporting of
Lodges bill and the ignoring of
that of Elkins caused the belliger-
ent West Virginia Senator to make
some remarks in the Senate parlia
mentary but severe. directed main
ly to Senator Aldrich. He plainly
indicated that it was the intention
of Mr.. Lodges bill to play around
the subject with view to excul-
pate the tariff influences on high
prices. Mr.. Elkins evidently struck
a popular chord, for the responses
through the press, by letter and
telegram from different parts of the
country have influenced the major
ity in the Senate to accept and
present bill sufficiently searching
in terms to make the investigation
under it find whatever there is.
1t seems strange indeed, that bread
and meat and other substantials
should be higher in this country
of plenty than in the densely
crowded countries of Europe
strange that we are exporting food
stuffs to different parts Of the world
where the ultimate consumer pays
less than do our own citizens.
Granted that we are extravagent
and wasteful and that we lack
thrift such as is practiced in France,
Germany, Italy and in the Scandi-
navian countries. There would ap-
pear to be other reason why house
keepers pay more for their substan-
tials Of life in America and why
the s. hotels in Europe are better
than the So hotels in the Uuited
States.

In a wild state the potato vine Is
very hardy and will grow to a consid-
cradle height. 1t is said that the In
dians did not cultivate the potato ex-
cept for the leaves, which became
known as their tobacco-hence the
leaves and stalks of tobacco are large,
but there are no signs of potatoes at
the roots. So much for cultivation.

After two days of tiresome trekking we
passed the Jimcrow mountains and de-
bouched upon the plain beyond. My love
of the unvarnished article makes me de-
test a low lying country, so l hastened
toward the hills that doomed up ahead.

erward l had brushes with them, and,
though no damage was done, they gave
me an infinite amount of trouble.

presence of number of whanghoos in
the canyonic hill country ahead of us. I
pushed on with renewed vigor and soon
was amid the gorges of Notabadland.
After several days of bootless hunting,
during which l bagged nothing but a
score or SO of gerenocks, 36 dheros, 16
mollycoddes and one dofar or whart-hog,
I offered to the natives liberal allow
