cles."
The comparative few who take
this view, however, overlook one
very important fact. The Democratic
House will not pass the reciprocity
bill as being in itself a fulfillment OF
prediction promises to revise the
tariff downward, but merely as step
in that direction. Other objects of
reciprocity are the promoting of
closer friendship with Canada and
the keeping of faith with President
Taft, who was assured that if he
called an extra session the Demo-
cratic house would pass the reciproci-
ty bill.
Those who opposed the passage of
the reciprocity bill by a Republican
administration on the ground that
manufacturedarticles were not treated
the same as raw products, are obvi-
ously not justified in opposing the
passage of the measure by the Demo-

between Indiana and Illinois, or any

President in no Hurry.
President Taft doesn't want the
Democratic house to do anything in
extra session but pass the reciprocity
bill. Schedule ''K," he feels, should
remain as it is until revision can be
based on the results of an investigation
by men appointed by himself. The
President has apparently forgotten
that the people have said they want
the tariff revised this time from the
Democratic, not the Republican, view
point.
Schedule TX" Must Go.
Chairman Underwood, of the new
Ways and Means committee, upon
hearing that the woolen interests are
preparing to march upon Washington
in force, declared that while they
would be treated fairly, the woolen
interests might just as well make an
assault upon Gibra1ter as upon the
House.
In other words, schedule ''K," tax
ing women's clothing 165 per cent,
stockings 76 per cent and blankets,
l65 per cent, has got to fall.
The mere thought of it is enough to
make any man with red blood in his
veins feel like jumping in the air and
giving an imitation Indian war-whoop.

Northern Arizona will probably be designated in the very near future as the official transconti- mental route of the American Au- tomobile association, letters in the past few days to T. c. Norris, president of the Arizona Good Roads association, from A. l.. Westgard, special representative of the above organization in New York city, showing decided pref erence for making the selection. Excerpts from Mir. Westgard' s letter are as follows:
 "I believe that within year or two a route will be developed west of Gallup, N, M., and as discussed by us during your re- cent trip to New York. l should, in fact, be glad to take the oppor- tunity sometime to survey the route from Laguna, N. M. west ,and looping northwesterly through the Moqui Indian reservation, taking in the Painted Desert, the Grand Canyon, Coconino forest, if possible the Cliff Dwellings, thence utilizing tn e territorial highway from Flagstaff to Pres colt and Phoenix.

IMPORTANT NEWS
 ID ENTRYMEN

Important instructions under date of August 4, 1911, by the act ing secretary of the interior, have been issued to all United States land officers in regard to consttuc- tive residence during the first six months of entries.
 The instruction is, in substance, as follows;
 The practice of according credit for constructive residence covering the period of six months following the allowance of an entry will not be allowed on or after the first day of December, 1911; in all instances where ordinary final five year proof is submitted.
 The acting secretary's explana' ton is given in part as follows:
 In the matter of proof submitted under the homestead law, it seems that a practice has existed accord ing to entrymen, where residence is begun within six months follow ing the date of entry, credit for res idence beginning with the date of entry. The result is, that where party takes up an actual res idence just at the expiration of six months he is accorded a construct i've residence for the intervening six months, and thus permitted to secure on proof of residence for period of only four years and six months.
 There is clearly no statutory au- thority recognizing the period of constructive residence referred to. On the contrary, the statute IS specific in requiring five years res idenc.

WHERE SEA is DEEPEST.

One Place in the North Pacific Has
$1,000 Feet OF Water.
The ocean has been sounded in nearly
all directions with modern appliances
and these scundings show that the floor
| Of the ocean consists OF vast undulating
plains lying at an average depth OF about
two and 4 half miles beneath the surface OF
the waves. In some places huge ridges and
cones rises from these submerged plains
to within few hundred fathoms OF the
sea surface or they may rise above the sur
face As volcanic islands and coral atolls.
The greatest depth hitherto recorded is
in the Challenger (or Nero) Deep in the
North Pacifc-5,26e fsthoms. II Mount

OF water would roll over the peak OF this,
the highest mountain in the world.
The greatest depth in the Atlantic is in
the Mares Deep, between the West Indies
and Bermuds-4 ,662 fathoms. The great
est depth in the Indian ocean is SIS faith
oms, in tie Wharton Deep, between Christ
mas island and the coast Of Java. We now
know fifty-six of these deeps where the
depth exceeds three geographical miles,
ten areas where the depth exceeds four
miles and four places where it exceeds 1--we
miles.

salt, says Harper's Magazine, toward the
poles and in the deeper layers OF the ocean.
1t has long been known that tine very salt
water OF the Mediterranean flows as an
undercurrent outward through the Strait
OF Gibraltar and thus affects the salinity
OF the deeper waters of the Atlantic over
wide area.
Although the amount OF salt in sea
water varies, the composition OF sea water
remains very constant; slight differences
have, however, been noticed along the
continental coasts, in the polar regions
and in the water in direct contact with
deep sea deposits.
The temperature Of ocean water varies
at the surface from twenty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit, at the poles, to over eighty
degrees Fahrenheit in the tropics. The
cold water toward the poles has an an
nual variation Of less than ten degrees
Fahrenheit at any one spot, and the warm
water Of the tropics also has an annual
