ROCKY MOUNTAIN ANIMALS
stitution Discovers Four
Unique Specimens.

Washington, December 80, 1911-N
HOLSTER, assistant curator of the Di-
vision of Mammals, U. S. National Mu-
scum, announces the discovery of four
new animals from the Canadian Rockies,
in paper just published by the Smith
sonian Institution.
During last summer small party of
naturaists from the Smithsonian Institu-
ton accompanied the expedition of the
Alpine Club of Canada, to the Mount
Robson Region, where they made the
first natural history collection ever taken
in that vicinity. The paper mentioned
above is the first publication issued by
the Institution on the expedition, al
though j. H. Riley, member of the
party, has written description of two
species of birds discovered on the trip,
which has recently been published in the
proceedings of the Biological Society of
Washington; both of the birds are of
the sparrow family, one a song sparrow
and the other fox sparrow.
The natural history work of the expe-
dition was under the charge of Mr.. Hol-
lister. He paid especial attention, how
ever, to the mammals, four of which he
describes, a chipmunk, manteled
ground SQUIRREL and two bats. All the
specimens come from the neighorhood of
Mount Robson, which lies in one of the
wild and UNEMPLOYED parts of British
Columbia, at about IA, 500 feet elevation.
The chipmunk is new species, and all
the specimens of it come from the re-
gion along the boundary line between
British Columbia and Alberta, from Vel
lowhead Pass northward.
The ground-squirrell is a beautifully
marked and highly-colored form of the
genus, and was found living in the al
pine meadows and rocks of the snow
covered region above timberline. The
head and shoulders are a rich and glossy
Mars brown, and the sides are marked
by conspicuous lateral stripes
While the two new species of bats re-
semble some well-known forms, ex-
ternally they are quite distinct and read
lily distinguishable by the shape of the
skull. One of tkem, curiously enough,
most resembles a species known only
from Mexico. Brooklyn Eagle.

the nation up, as he did in the years in
which he occupied the presidential

Mr.. Folwell's movement, launched
with an aim of assuring Mr.. Roosevelt s
nomination in Pennsylvania, is being
seconded in New Jersey by Sheriff
Hatch of Camden, who is organizing
Camden and south Jersey for the colo

Kansas for Roosevelt.

1t was Kansas which took the lead at
the Philadelphia convention of 1900 in
urging the nomination of Roosevelt for
vice president. 1t is Governor Stubs
of Kansas today who gives in a COM
pact summary his reasons why he be-
lieves Col. Roosevelt the man who
would win at the polls in 1912. Cover
nor Stubs, who won his own place in a
direct fight against some of the
interests" and the old organization,
who is both genuine progressive and
an able political leader declares that
Roosevelt's plurality through the Middle
West and the Pacific States would be
overwhelming. He would sweep Kan
sas, getting all the Republicans and a
large share of the Democrats. He could
carry the New England States, New
York, Pennsylvania and OHIO.
Governor Stubs finds the call for
Roosevelt call for man for the presi-
dency who believes in his heart in the
policies advocated by Lincoln; a man
who has the courage of his convictions,
and one who, more than any other man,
is responsible for the nationwide for
ward movement in the direction of a
government administered honestly,
without fear or favor, for rich, poor,
high, low, black and white"
With this as his background it is not
strange that Governor Stubs calls
Roosevelt the logical. candidate. The
States mentioned are those which must
be carried by the Republican who is to
win. Boston Journal.

Roosevelt's Influence.

Clifford Pinchot says that the ex-Presi-
dent is positively out of the race for the
presidential nomination next year. This
is only telling what Mr.. Roosevelt has
repeatedly said both in private and in
public, and there is no reason why the
people at large should not take him at
his word. 1t is amusing, however, that
the mere mention of his name sends a
thrill of terror among politicians of all
classes and descriptions. 1t is a COM
plete refutation of the assertion so
often made that Roosevelt no longer
has any influence. He still remains
the most dominant figure in the.citizen-
ship of the country. Mirror and

The Great Men List.

Mr.. Carnegie's list of great men is
arousing great deal of comment. Mr..
Edison in referring to it said that it
seemed to him excessive in the proper
ton of iron and steel workers and makers
of mechanisms it contained, but when
asked if he would include any poets in
such list, the great inventor replied,
mo, even Shakespeare was not world
mover, however wonderful his power in
expression and his capacity in forming
original sentences" Another, in COM
menting on Mr. Edison's exclusion of
poets says, ITO say that poets should
not be included in lists of benefactors of
the race is to shut out the noblest part
of racial history and to subordinate lit
erature and religion to achievements
that are intrinsically lower and more
ephemeral." Evidently every man
would choose his greatest benefactors
from among those who had most helped
the particular profession or industry in
which he was most interested. Mirror

ALMOST LOST
HIS FOOT
Operations Did Not Seem
To Do Any Good.
After Years Of Agony Doctors
Advised Amputation.
A Great Triumph for a Great
Medicine.

ELKART, Ind.-"I narrowly escaped
losing my foot, because of swelling
and sores on my ankle. They dis
charged a great quantity of matter
and some pieces Of bone. We tried
everything to make the errptions heal,
and had two or three operations,
which did not seem to do any good
After three years of agony the doctor
advised that the foot be amputated in
order to save my life. Ny family
would not consent to this, but began
to give me Hoods Sarsaparilla.
ITO make a long story short, Hoods
Sarsaparilla effected a complete and
wonderful cure. The sores healed up,
the discharge ceased, the swelling
went down, and 1 could walk as well
as anybody. 1 have had scarcely a
sick day since. The cure was perfect
and complete. 1t was a great triumph
for Hoods Sarsa parilla over impure
blood. The germs certainly got the
worst of it from Hoods Sarsa parilla
in my case, and I believe it will cure
in all similar cases, so 1 warmly rec
ommend it," Henry Jenkins.
Thousands Of intelligent and eco
nomical men and women have come
to know by experience the great value
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and to regard
it as common sense" to use this pro-
prietary medicine in many diseases
and ailments.
Hoods Sarsaparilla effects it's won
derful cures not simply because it
contains sarsaparilla, but because it
combines the utmost remedial values
of more than twenty different ingred-
tents, which are the very remedies
successful physicians prescribe for the
same diseases and ailments, but are
not all found in any other medicine.
There is no real substitute for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any
less to make, and yields the dealer a
larger profit.

Four Boys Drown at East Jaffrey

East Jaffrey, NJ H., Jan. 4.-Pinned
to the bed of the Contoocook river bv
heavy sled on which they broke
through the ice, four boys were drowned
today. Two of their companions were

for half an hour.
The victims were Alpha Paradise, IA;
Emery Santest, Is; Alfred Robichaud,
10, and Leon Chouinard, Z.
The two rescued are Thomas La
Froniere and Raymond Bouvais.
Five of the boys on a double-runner
were being pushed across the ice by a
sixth on skates. Near mid-channel the
ice gave way. Four never reached the
surface alive.
Lusty cries for help from Bouvais and
La Froniere were heard by woman in
nearby house. She telephoned to
central, asking help.
The fire alarm was sounded and about
fifty men responded
Meanwhile Cecil Wellington, IL, and
Lean La Fleur, 8, attempted to rescue
their playmates. H. H. Hunt and G..
f. Wellington tossed one end of rope
toward the boys and one after the other
the two We're saved.
After the two boys had been taken
from the water much of the ice was
cut away near the spot where the acct
dent occurred. With the aid of boat
hooks the bodies of the tour drowned
We're recovered. Two doctors worked
rover the bodies, but We're unable to
bring back life.

The story of the northward advance
into the future Vermont is interviewer
with the story of the New Hampshire
Grants" Permit me to recall few of
the we'll known facts.
The boundary between Massachusetts
and New Hampshire was long in dis
pute, but in 1741, Benning Wentworth
was appointed royal governor of New
Hampshire with commission which
described the southern boundary of his
province as follows; Beginning on the
coast three miles north of the mouth of
the Merrimac, it was to follow the
windings of that stream at a distance
of three miles, as far as Pawtucket
Falls from which place it was to run
directly west until, as the commits
sioner says, "it meets with our other
grants.
Before this time, the western bound
airy of Massachusetts had not been off
cially defined. But the understanding
was that Massachusetts extended to
within twenty miles of the Hudson
River. Governor Wentworth naturally
concluded, therefore, that New Hamp-
shire must extend to within twenty
miles of that river, and the New
Hampshire Grants" were made on the
basis of such an Interpretation. Ben
nington, chartered in 1919, occupied the
extreme southwestern corner of New
Hampshire as Governor Wentworth
understood it.
During most of the final French and
Indian war, the Champlain Valley was
too exposed for rapid settlement. But
with the fall of Montreal in 1850, the
tide of migration set strongly north
ward once again, and Governor Went
worth granted charters with a liberal
hand. In a few years, one hundred
thirty towns within the present Yer
mont were surveyed and granted, sixty
of them in the year 1861. The Middle
bury charter dated Nov. 2, 1861, was
one of eight granted during that year
within the present Addison County.

By the end of the Revolution in 1873.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut We're filled with settlers, two
thirds of Vermont was occupied, all of
New Hampshire except the extreme
north, and in the present Maine, sub
stantial advances from the coast had
been made.
And by 1910 Vermont and New Hamp-
shire were filled, except in the noun
tains, and Maine was nearly half occu-
pied.
So, in something less than two hun
dred years, New England had expanded
to nearly fill six states of the future.

cent. over previous years, while 1904
persons were injured by vehicles, an in
crease of "a such accidents.
Statistics of this character are almost
worthless. Every case should be spec
flied; Age and sex of the party killed,
and the nature of the vehicle, and
manner in which it was run. Four
hundred and twenty-three persons killed
upon the streets when there shouldn' t
be one, is a fearful record. And in
addition to this we are told that 2O04
were injured.
The remark by The Brooklyn Eagle
that the police power to protect life
and health must be broad enough to
regulate the use of vehicles, is emf
nently correct And, therefore, its de-
duction is correct, that if one law has
failed to do this another should be drawn
that will: or, if the difficulty is with the
decision of the court, other courts
should be given the opportunity to ex-
plain the sense or intention of the law.
One thing is certain, that, sooner or
later, such laws will be sustained and
enforced. And the enforcement must
be long continued one. The following,
which we copy from the Boston Jour-
nal of January 9, illustrates that this
absolutely essential condition for
the protection of the lives and rights
of the people hasn't yet been reached.
Any attempt to control the matter
short of this is futile, and always will
be. Murder after murder will take
place, and infinite suffering from in
juries received, besides unjust annoy
ance from interference with vested
rights:
