GROMING BIG TREES.

The forest service is raising sew
eral acres of Bigtree seedlings on the
Tahoe National forest in California,
at more northerly point than any
natural Bigtree grove. While the gi-
ant sequoias are found in the forests
Of the Sierras at various points
throughout total range Of some $50
miles, in the northern two-thirds of
this range there is practically no nat
ura, reproduction, 1t has consequent
ly been question whether the species
would not practically disappear from
this region when the present mature
trees die.
The most northern existing grove
of Bigtrees is on the Tahoe forest, but
about thirty-four miles southeast of
the site selected for planting. This
site is on a moist flat not far from
Nevada City, and is about 2,70O feet
above sea level The first seeding
was done in the fall of 1910, with very
successful results, and last fall an
additional area was seeded
The method used in planting the
seed was that known to foresters as
'thc seed spot method" Spots about
six feet apart each way were pre-
raIed by pulverizing the earth with
a garden hoe. Seeds were then drop
ped on these spots and lightly press
ed IN the soil with the foot. The flour
ishing condition of the young seed
lings gives good reason to expect a
future growth of Bigtrees at this
point. With protection of forests from
fire there seems to be no reason why
the Bigtrees should disappear, even
though scientists regard them as sur
vivals from a past age, botanically
speaking.

CAUSE FOR DIsTRUsT.

1t has come to pretty pass when
conditions are such that men high up
in the councils of the nation can not
be trusted to do the fair thing in po-
litical affairs by their fellow men.
The contest between the Taft men
and the Roosevelt men shows that
there is so much unfairness in the
political world Of business that not
even such a prominent man as Sen
ator Root of New York can be trust
ed to act as temporary chairman of
the national convention at Chicago.
We are not saying that Mr.. Root
would or would not be fair in his de-
cisions, but the fact that great por-
ton of the Republicans of this ma
ton feel that he will not be fair is
certainly indicative of a lamentable
condition in the political affairs of
this country. Men do not arrive at
such conclusions without cause. They
look into the past and refresh their
memories in regard to what the Re
publican and Democratic national and
state conventions have done in order
to carry the point desired by the pre-
siding officer.

MORE TROUT FROM
THE DURANGO HATCHERY

Thomas L. Hamor, the best trout
fish man in the west, came over from
the Durango hatchery last Thursday
evening, putting 25,000 fry in the Los
Pinos, east of Osier, and bringing
100000 spawn for Denver, to be dis
tributed in the streams of northwest
Colorado. During the evening Mr..
Hamor met number of our live fish
ermen, the kind of people he likes to
meet.
Since Tom Hamor became superb
tendent of the Durango hatchery, that
branch of the Colorado fish industry
has become recognized as one of the
top-notchers, supplying a larger num-
ber of streams and covering a lar ger
area than any other hatchery in tho
state.
Last October, when the floods were
playing havoc over southern Colorado,
the Durango hatchery came near be
ing destroyed, but by hard and fast
work all was saved except about $780,
600 fry. There was about two feet
of water in the hatchery building.
Mr.. Hamor justly prides the prog
ress being made by his hatchery this
year and expresses the hope that it
will be one of the prides of the state
when a recapitulation is taken this
fall.-Alamosa Empire.

Popular State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Leaves to At
tend Teachers Institute

The state superintendent of public
instruction, Hon. Helen NJ. Wixon,
was a guest of the Strater over night
on her way to spend today at Fort
Lewis in attendance at the teachers
institute. Mrs. Wixon expects TO re-
turn to Durango tomorrow evening
and will spend Sunday evening and
possibly Monday here in order to
have a brief visit with her Durango
friends.
Durango has every reason to be
proud of her former resident, and
the fact that so many of our towns
people and especially those of her own
sex used their right of suffrage in
her support at the last election is
gratifying, when we remember how
successful Mrs. Wixon has been in fill
ing the highest office a woman may
hold in this state. She is especially
gifted along many lines and She has
used her ability unsparingly in her
efforts to do everything possible to
further the cause of education in
Colorado. We do not know what her
plans for the next two years are, but
we trust that she will be willing to
continue the work so well begun, and
we are quite sure that the women of
the San Juan, as well as of the state
in general will, in such case rally to
her support, as in the past 1t is not
a case of politics but of good schools

Three Commissioners VIII BE Chosen
to Have Entire Charge of All
City's Interests

The convention delegates were in
session again last night and made
considerable progress in the way of
outlining a charter for its considera-
tion later on.
The plan agreed upon is one pro-
vldlng for three commissioners. One
commissioner shall be ex-officio mayor,
supervisor of the fire and police de
partments, streets and alleys, ceme-
terry and city parks and shall be in
spector of buildings and the health
officer at a salary of $3.50 per month.
Another commissioner shall have
charge of the city water works and
sewers at salary of S125 per month.
The third commissioner shall act as
city clerk and police magistrate. He
will be the city's bookkeeper at n
| salary of SIPS per month.
1t was the general expression that
the work of these three commission
ers should be as Independent of each
other as possible in order to secure
the greatest efficiency possible and
for the purpose of establishing and
definitely locating responsibility. Our
present system Is weak in this re-
spect.
From the discussions that took
place concerning the method of hold
ing elections, it is to be presumed
that the convention will decide upon
a headless ballot, each candidate to be
nominated by at least twenty-five pc
titioners, each candidate to have not
more than one vehicle for taking vo-
ters to the polls, each candidate to
file expenses. In case no candidate is
elected at any election, the two high
est will be voted for at another elec-
tion held two weeks later.
II is apparent that some have mis-
understood the action Of the delegates
which can best be explained by stat
ing that for all practical purposes the
convention is now working as com
mittee for the whole. When this COM
mittee Of the whole has finished its

FROM BUSY CENTERS
Stories of Real Life as Told by
Wire, from Every Section Comes
Tales of the Busy " ord.

CHICAGO, June THE Taft and
Roosevelt steam rollers met in head,
on collision in the first meeting of the
national committee, and the Roose-
welt roller got the hardest bump.
These things happened:
First-Roosevelt men attempted to
find out the strength of the Taft
forces involving question of pub
licity in the hearing of the contests
They found out that Taft has thirty
nine votes in national committee to
Roosevelt's fourteen.
Second-Roosevelt men sought to
arrange for delays in the contests by
demanding eight votes only be re-
quired to compel a roll call. They
were voted down viva voce.
Third-1he Taft men defeated the
Roosevelt plan to reduce the repre-
sentation in the south, plan which
would have put most of the Taft
bread line delegates out of business
That vote was put over before the
Roosevelt men had time to offer any
opposition.
Fourth-The Taft men revived the
Conklin resolution of the convention
of 1880 which binds all hands not
to bolt and will try to slide it through
the coming convention to head off any
run OUT by the Colonel.
Root is now sure of election as TEN
porary chairman.

SPIRITUAL TYRANTS OF INDIA.

India has been well named "the un-
changing east" and especially where
farming is concerned. In the main
the native farmer of today is as prim-
tive in his methods as his ancestors
were 1000 years ago. He abhors in
novations as he does the Bombay
plague, writes George Cecil, we'll
known English traveller, in Farm and
Home. Nothing will induce him to
make the soil more fertile, either by
|irrigating or by manuring it, and as
to reclaiming land, such a thing never
enters his head. Indeed, any attempt
to change the earth's surface is view
ed by the village greybeards with the
greatest disfavor. "Khuda' (God) has
intended India remain certain shape,
and if an alteration is desired, He
will send an earthquake" is their sim
pie way of looking at things.
"If you run contrary to the will of
Khuda,' cholera will ravage the coun-
try, and serve you right" is what the
priests have to say upon the subject,
and as the natives go in deadly fear
of their spiritual tyrants it is not sur
prising that the word of the alleged
holy men is law. Meanwhile, the In
dian jogs along, content to farm at a
net profit which may reach as low as
5 per cent. Were the patient black
man to operate on large scale, his
gains might be appreciable. Unfor-
tunately for him, his activities are
more or less minute and he has to
give long credit.
Agricultural machinery is practical
ly unknown in India. Attempts have
been made to introduce steam plows
and other tools, but without success.
In some cases the natives were frank
ly afraid Of the devil machine" as
they term any machine driven by
steam, while in others they simply re-
fused TO tolerate a contrivance which,
doing away with hand labor, deprived
them Of their living. The cogs disap-
peared from the wheels, new driving
straps mysteriously snapped, bearings
became unexpectedly heated, piston
rods broke off and driving wheels
wobbled suspiciously. In fact, the
prejudiced blacks saw to it that every
thing should go wrong; and, after a
few desultory attempts to force the in
novation down their throats, semi
enlightened employers withdrew the
unpopular steam plow, returning to
the hand plow with the biblical wood
en- plowshare which had served their
forebears for generations.
Today, the only farm machinery to
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-10

work, it will, under Roberts Rules of
Order, rise and report to the conven-
ton. When it reports to the conven-
tion its report will be accepted but
not necessarily approved. Then 1t will
be the work of the convention to go
over each section of the charter and
vote for its rejection or approval.
When the convention has completed
this work the charter will be ready
| for submission to the people for rati-
fication or rejection. If ratified the
next step will be the election of the
officers as provided in the charter.
One can see that there will be every
opportunity for thorough considera-
ton of every part of the charter. No
one yet can say that any suggestion
will be finally approved by the con-
vention when all delegates will be
present, but it is fair to presume that
no great changes will be made in the
plan outlined in the detail work of the
| delegates,

BEYOND THE ALPS.

This is the season of the year when
the college graduate occupies a promi-
nent place in the public eye, when
his class play, class day exercises, the
formalities of the close Of his college
course and the good advice received
at commencement time get good po-
sition in the newspapers, and rightly
SO. The time has long passed when
the college man, in rounded periods
and eloquent voice announced that
Beyond the Alps lies thine Italy,
but the college man is scaling the
Alps that separate the college domain
from the life career with the same
energy and success as any Of his pred
ccessors.
There has been in other years and
there still may be a disposition on The
part Of some to laugh at the gradu-
ate, ond the seriousness with which
he sometimes takes himself; but this
quality Of mirth is Of the variety that
does not laugh so well at the end of
the stcry. For the college man wi,h
his knowledge Of sines and cosincs,
his intimate acquaintance with Plato
ard Herodotus and Juvenal, his abil-
ity 10 scan Greek poetry and explain
Egyptian architecture is not the i'm.
practical man his critics would have
you believe.
His training might not be along the
line Of work that he will follow all
his life but il has been no less thor
oneh and it shows in his ability to
apply himself 10 the tests that come
up in daily life. When the graduate
emIges from college with his expert
ence and sheepskin, the Alps that
intervene between him and his Italy
may be in the mastery OF a lot of
elemental detail work in the office or
shop to which he has gone but the
experience of thousands Of COLLEGE
men has shown that they are capable
and ready TO do such work and do
II well; and this quality alone is suffi-
cient recommendation for the thor
oughncss Of their training.
1t in not an uncommon thing for
men with bachelors or masters
degree, fitted to step into an instruct
orship in college at good salary
to start in on pittance in order to
learn some business more to their
liking. Thousands have crossed these
