 Washington, May 8.

Washington, May 23. 1 Special. )--The resignation of Secretary of War J. M. Dickinson was surprise to the public but not to those who were in his con. i fidence. MT. Dickinson rela- tions with the administration have been entirely cordial and harmo- nious. He resigned because of business demands upon him in his home state, Tennessee. He entered the cabinet, as subse- quent events proved, at a consid- erable sacrifice, relinquishing a salary as an attorney for a railway company twice that of his federal office, and since he has been with the Taft administration he has had the misfortune to lose a large part of his fortune, which he will now endeavor to retrieve. Those who know the facts are assured that there is not the slightest po- litical significance in the step he has taken.
 Henry l.. Stimson, of New York, who succeeds Mir. Dickin- son as Secretary of War, first came into national notice as the republican candidate last summer for governor of New York who was nominated in the convention by former President Roosevelt. President Taft, as soon as Mir, Dickinson indicated his earnest desire to quit the cabinet, was predisposed to MT Stimson, but consulted Senator Root who heart fly approved the idea oi the ap- pointment. He has had no expe- rience in military affairs, but as an active and leading member of the New York bar his practice has embraced considerable rela- ton with governmental affairs.
 Something unique and indeed aboriginal in the way of petition has reached congress. Ithas come to Speaker Champ Clark and bears 66 signatures in what looks like blood every name in red. It is a protest from the Chippewa Indians of the White Earth reser- vation in Minnesota against what they allege is an attempted legali- zation of fraudulent land sales of their reservation. The signatures are in the prints of thumbs dipped in poke berry juice. The first name signed to the document is that of a chief, May-zhuc-he-gwo nobe.

sufficient courage to shake his head In
contradiction when the Sunday school
visitor, who wished to show OF his

that Sarah. Abraham's wife, WAS the

pasture cannot be had. this feed is
equally good in producing flow of
milk or in putting fat on animals. One
acre Of q crop harvested as silage will
feed twice as much stock as the same
amount harvested In any other man
ner.
Like glass fruit Jar. a silo must be
water-tight and Jointless to keep the
silage from molding or "dry firing. .
For this reason. and also because no
painting or repairing is ever neces-
sary. solid-wall concrete silos are
coming into general use.
The best silos are built circular in
shape. Tho size depends upon how
many animals are to be fed daily. the
quantity In pounds for each animals
daily feed, and the number of days it
may be necessary to feed them. The
silo should be of such size that layer
of silage at least two inches in depth
will be removed each day after feed
ing has begun. This prevents a thin
top layer from molding. A dairy COW
requires about. forty pounds Of silage
per day. and the following table is
based on this amount Forty pounds
is also the average weight of a cubic
foot of silage

Since the silo and its contents are
heavy, it must be built on solid
ground. The bottom of the foundation

five feet into the ground. Dig the pit

many miles from . railroad and few
people visit 1t In the course Of year.
Those who make tho trip. which is
usually done from the little northern
Wyoming town Of Sundance. feel
amply repaid for their visit.
A. one approaches the Devils Tow
or his amazement and awe increase.
It seems incredible that any forces OF
nature could have carved the solitary
monument that rears its head 80 far
above the brown plains. The sides OF
the tower rise sheer from the ground,
its sides Of limestone being fluted,
giving 1t an almost organ-like appear
ance. The rock presents the same ap-
pearance from every side. and to scale
1t seems to be an impossibility. 1t ia
said that few years ago man and
woman successfully negotiated the as
cent of the DEVILS Tower, but they
were compelled to drive iron spikes
In the face Of the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids. To ascend the
tower without the use OF some such
means would be an impossibility.
Some doubt has been cast on the story
Of the ascent, however. and many
claim that the summit has never been
reached.
It is not unlikely that, In the course
Of year or two the government will
send an Official expedition to the top
of the DEVILS Tower monument, and
that stairways and ladders to the sum.
NIT will be constructed. Surveys
have been made and 1t is not impos-
sible to build series of ladders and
stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top OF the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with su-
perstitious awe and the medicine men
ascribed its construction to the DOW.
ers Of darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men In
christening the rock the DEVILS Tower.
Indian legends add not little to
the interest surrounding the DEVILS
Tower. Occasionally the rock IL Wis
tied by Indians from adjoining reser.
vations. the Crows and Cheyennes be-
ing located about 200 miles westward,
while the Sioux stop at the tower
every year on their way from their
agencies In the Dakotas to attend the
Crow Indian fair at Grow agency. Red
men and white united in regarding
the great rock with awe. and pioneers
who remember the inspiring sight as
they crossed the plains, are glad that
the government has preserved this
great natural monument for the bene-
At Of posterity.
