Develop the West.

The people of the west, regardless of
locality, are united upon one point; they
want the natural resources of the west
developed and people put upon the unde-
veloped lands. The object of the public
lands convention to be held in Denver,
September $3.50, is for the purpose of
agreeing upon a policy to bring about
that result. The future policy of the
government in the administration of the
public domain depends upon congress.
The west has the balance of power in
congress if it can agree upon a policy
and work unitedly for it regardless of
party political lines. The meeting prom
ises to be the most important ever held
in the west. Governor Hay of Washing
ton has just written Chairman Eddy Of
Denver, calling for more copies of Gov
ernor Shafroth s call, and adds:
''I shall take pains to see that this
state is represented at your convention
by the strongest delegation obtain

Chicago-A panic was caused in the

for preservation six live rattlesnakes.
The attendants had neglected to pro-

was the reptiles drank. After swallow

got out of their prisons and proceeded
to run riot. They were in the last

PARIS GETS HEAT WAVE.
Worst in 25 Years and Much Suffering
Prevails Everywhere.


Paris.-Paris is sweltering in the
worst heat wave in 25 years, which is
made more severe by the phenomenal
drouth, not a drop of rain having fallen
for a month. The thermometer has
iisen steadily for the last eight days
from SO to 81, the latter figure being
attained yesterday.
All indications point to a continuance
of the heat for several days.
To add to the suffering of the people
there has been a partial break in the
water system. Two big leaks in the
main water pipes necessitated the cut
ting off of the supply.
Many deaths have been reported, the
daily average being six until yesterday
when IL were reported.
At Fontainebleau the drouth was re-
sponsible for the spread of a fire that
broke out in the most picturesque part
Of the forest, IS acres of which were
destroyed. The garrison troops were
called out and succeeded in getting this

Hootings in House of Commons.

London.-The last act of the parlia-
mentary revolution was ushered in Mon
day with a revolutionary scene. For
the first time in its history the house
of commons refused to listen to a speech
by the premier. For the first time in
its history the speaker was compelled
to invoke the rule which empowers him
Gin case of grave disorder" to declare
the sitting adjourned on his own re-
sponsibility.
No such hostile passions have been
given free rein in chamber which ira
ditionally carries on its debates with
chivalrous courtesy since the stormy
days of the Gladstone home rule bills
Probably there has been no such pas
sage in the American congress since
the reconstruction era.

CONTROLLER BAY POLICY
WRONG, SAYS ROOSEVELT
Government Should Retain Control in
Alaska to Prevent Monopoly
Essential to Development.

New York.-Theodore Roosevelt has
an article on the development of Alaska
in a recent issue of the Outlook, in
which he raps the interior department
for its attitude in the Controller bay
cases.
Referring to the Controller bay case,
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
In this connection 1 wish also to
call attention to the essential fact as
regards the Controller aay situation.
Controller bay, under actual conditions,
offers the only chance, or at any rate,
very much the best chance, for free
outlet from the great Bering river coal
fields.
1t was the imperative duty of the
government service to keep this outlet
free and not to dispose of it to any indi-
vidual or individuals.
Elimination Unfortunate.
1.-The government should have held
this land in perpetuity, permitting it's
use by any individual or corporation
only under conditions that would sub
serve the general public interest. I'M
fortunately, the interior department last
October eliminated from the government
reserve not only the 800 acres the elm
nation of which was mistakenly recon-
Inended by the agricultural department,
but IL, 800 acres. Whether there was or
was not improperly in the way in
which the elimination was brought
about, or whether or not there was i'm
propriety in the action which resulted
IN the instant filing of claims by Mr..
Ryan and others, does not go to the
root of the matter.
The root of the matter is that no
such elimination should have been made
by the interior department. The pub
lie interest demanded that this land
should be kept under public control and
that to prevent monopoly it's use should
be permitted only under such conditions
as the public need required.
Favor Development.
Remember always that such action
would not have hindered development;
it would have favored development, for
it would have enabled any honest cor
poration to come in and do its part in
developing the country without fear of
being crowded out by some other corpo-
ration which, through unwise govern
ment action, might obtain a monopolis-
tic right
1t is absolutely essential to the pro-
per development of our waterways
within the United States and it is es-
sential to the proper development of
The Alaska coal felds.''
He declares two factors to be respon-
sible for retarding progress in this di-
rection: "Great capitalists who wished
to develop Alaska by making enor-
nous fortunes for themselves outside
of and in defiance of the law" and the
congressman who, "under pretense of
hostility to the corporations, decline to
permit the passage of legislation which
will enable them to do their work hon
estly and develop the coal fields with a
fair profit to themselves while doing
justice to others.''
