w ASHINGTON.-Some idea of the
w gigantic task which confronts
Walter L. Fisher of Chicago, the new
secretary of the interior, can be CLEAN
ed from the fact that approximately
5000, 100000 iE expended annually in
the department of which he has just
been made the chief 700,000000 acres
Of public land is under his immediate
jurisdiction, not including the terri
tory Of Alaska, and nearly $4,000 en-
ployees take their orders from him.
The Importance of the department
to the country at large cannot be
overestimated, especially at this time
when the country is insisting upon an
administration favoring use of the ma
tional resources of the country on the
public domain and in Alaska, which
will not only permit immediate devel-
opment, but conserve these resources
for future generations.
| Establishment of the interior depart
ment was the direct result of the ac-
cession Of territory following the Mex
lean war and general increase In pop
ulation, wealth and business. 1t was
made sort of catchall for govern
rnent business which could not be con-
veniently transacted by any other de-
pertinent.
At the present time the secretary of
the interior has supervision over the
following Offices and institutions:

A A result of the action Of congress
"A at the last session in making a
special appropriation Of $4,000 for the
purpose, DR.. G. G. Abbot, director Of
the astro-physical observatory of the
Smithsonian institution, will be able
to complete within the next year an
investigation which was begun In 1906
and which, If 1t arrives at the ex-
pected conclusion, will result In
discovery of the first rank, such as
is not often made in astronomical
work.
This investigation is expected to
prove that the radiation of the sun va

which boil weevils may be killed Is
by the removal of the infested plants

until the boil weevil is
. grown is from two to three
weeks. The progeny of single

November can reach the amaz-

The boil weevil eats nothing

this food is not available. The

and is not attracted by lights.
During the summer the boil

LEG CUT BY MOWER.
Young Farmer of Mill Township Step- ped in Front of Moving Machine.

A young farmer hand, J. T.

 The wound was a serious one, and after temporary attention to it by the farm hands, word was sent to the city.
 Dr. ]. P. Randolph was hurried to the scene in Valley Reds" fast touring car.
 Dr. Randolph found the fibula completely severed and the uDula nearly so. Amputation was neces sary but the patients condition was such that only temporary relief could be given. An ambulance went after him early this morning. His condi- tion is critical from shock and loss Of blood.
