No Cash for Lincoln.

Lincoln will awaken tomorrow morning
70 a fun realization Of having lost $4,000.
Al the last session Senator Burkett got
an appropriation OF 100000 and the promise
OF $4,000 more at the present session of
congress for an addition to the Lincoln
federal building Notwithstanding that he
was going out Senator Burkett asked the
appropriations committee to give Lincoln
$4,000 more in order that an addition
might be built TO the postoffice and court
mouse building in keeping with the design
OF that structure, but the appropriations
committee could not see any good and
valid reason why congress should appro-
pirate $500 900 for an addition to a federal
building that is already adequate. So.
Lincoln will have to content itself with a
10000 'lean-to."

figurativeiy speaking. The Nebraska sena-
tors were not at all satisfied with the ex-
plantations Of Mr.. Hitchcock and they
showed it I'm their manner. They were hot
all through and they about reached the
conclusion that this was probably the most
opportune time to try out the question Of
whether they, as senator's. had a right to
dispense patronage in Nebraska so far as
postoffices are concerned. or whether the
postmaster general is going to reserve to
himself that prerogative In order 70 test
their strength, it is a pretty safe guess
that Mccartney and Mcleod will both lie
rejected in the executive session tomorrow.
The senators have no objection to either
continuing in their jobs until the 1st of
July, but on that date they say J. w.
steinhart must be made postmaster at
Nebraska City and Otto Zuelow at schuy-
Ter, or else a war Of reprisal will be made
against the Postoffice department.
A case somewhat similar to the above
mentioned cases came up in executive ses-
sion yesterday when upon motion Of sena-
tor Gamble the nomination of Charles f.
Hackett was rejected. Mr.. Hackett, who
has served as postmaster for some time,
was endorsed for reappointment by Repre-
sentatives Burke and Martin. It is said
that during Mr.. CANDLES recent fight for
reelection Postmaster Hackett entered the
campaign vigorously in opposition to Sena-
tor Gamble. His utterances are alleged TO
hav ebeen so unseemly and bitter that
Senator Gamble would not overlook them.
and therefore when the nomination came
up yesterday he stated to the senate that
the gentleman was persona non grata and
the senate thereupon rejected his nomina
ton.

The Great Conserva-
ton Novel
INTRODUCTION.

Ny Dear Mr.. Garland You
have been kind enough to let me
see the proofs Of "covanaeh,
Forest Ranger. I have read it
with mingled feelings-wifh keen
appreciation Of your sympathetic
understanding Of the problems
which confronted the foresf serv-
ice before the western people
understood it and with deep re.
eret that I an, no longer officially
associated with its work, al
though I an, as deeply interested
and almost as closely In touch
as ever. ----'-
Western frontier people faced
life with a manly dependence on
their o~1 courage and capacity
which did then, and still does
them high honor. Some Of them
we're naturally SLOW to see the
advantages of the mem order. But
non that they have seen it there
is nowhere more intelligent, con-
pinced and effective support of
the conservation policies than
in the west. The establishment
of the new order in some places
was not child's play. But there
is a sfrair, of fairness among the
western people which you can
always count on in such a fight
as the forest service has made
and MON.
The service contains the best
body of young men I know and
many splendid veterans. IT is
nine-tenths made up of western
men. IT has met the west OF, its
own ground, and it has non the
contest-an episode Of which
you have so we'll described-be-
cause the west believes in what
it stands for.
I have lived much among the
western mountain men, differed
with some Of them and worked
with many Of them. Sometimes
I have lost, and sometimes I
have non, but every time the
fight was worth while. I have
come out Of it all with a respect
and liking for the west which
will last as long as I do. Very
sincerely yours.

CHAPTER I
TEE DESERT CHARIOT.

= EE VIRGINIA WETHERFORD-
began her return journey into
the mountain west with exulta-
ton. From the moment she
opened her car window that August
morning In Nebraska the plain called
to her, sustained her illusions. It was
oil quite as big, as tawny, as she re-
membered 1t, At arena for the epic
deeds in which her father had been q
leader bold and free.
Her memories Of Roaring Fork and
its people were childish and romantic.
She recalled wildly the stagecoach
which used to amble sedately. not to
say wheezily. from the railway to the
Fork and from the Fork back to the
railway In the days ten years before
when she had ridden away in it a
fearful, despairing. long limbed girl
and fully expected to find it waiting
for her ut Sulphur City, with old Tom
Quentan still ~ its driver.
The first hint Of 1.-THE new west"
came to her by way of the pretentious
Hotel Alma, which stood opposite the
station at Sulphur and to which she
was led by q colored porter Of most
elaborate and kindly manners.
This house, which furnishes an ex-
cellent dinner and an absorbing mix
ture Of types both American and Eu-
ropean. was vaguely disturbing to her.
1t was plainly not the old. time west
the west her father had dominated In
the days before the invasion" 1t
was indeed distinctly built for the
tourist trade and was dlled with all
that might indicate the comfortable
uearness Of big game and good fish
ing.
Upon inquiry as to the stage she
was amazed to hear that an automo-
bile now made the journey to the Fork
in i've hours and that it left imme-
diately after the midday meal.
At 2 o'clock, as the car came to the
door, she entered It with sense Of
having stepped from one invading
chariot Of progress to another, so big
and shining and up to date was Its
gnttering body, agiean with brass and
glowing with brave red paint.
AZ they whirled madly down the val
Icy the girl was astonished ut the
transformation in the hot, dry land.
Wire fences ran here and there. in
closing fields of alfalfa and wheat
where once only the sagebrush and
tie greasewood grew. Painted farm
souses shone on the banks Of the
creeks end irrigating bitches flashed
across the road with an air ot business
and decision.
For the first half hour II seemed ~
e the dominion Of the cattleman had
ended, but as the swift car drew away
from the valley Of the Bear and
climbed the divide toward the north
the free range was disclosed, with
few changes save In the cattle. which
were all Of the harmless or hornless
variety, appearing tame and spiritless
In comparison with the old time half
wild broadhorn breeds.
