DR.. Thos. e. Green is a world wide
traveller and delivers a mans size
address. He was delegated by the
governor of Illinois to represent that
state at the Worlds Peace conference
recently held at St. Louis. This con-
ference was presided over by Andrew

parts of the world appeared there.
The Globe Democrat said, of DR.
Green's lecture that it was the great
est address of the occasion andsupon
his conclusion thouands of people
entered into demonstration,
hundreds crowding about him.
Mr. Green is probably the highest
priced professional lecturer on the

August ,. The prelude TO MIR. Green's
lecture will be given by the Inter
national Grand Concert Company

HAUL SEED WHEAT FREE IN KANSAS

Seed wheat will be carried free by
the Kansas railroads to needy Kansas
counties this fall. An order granting
the railroads permission to transport
seed wheat to Kansas points from
places within the state free of charge,
was handed down yesterday by the
public utilities commission upon ap-
plication of the Santa Ee, Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific lines. 1t is
certain that the Rock Island will
make the same arrangement the or
der applies to all roads in the state.
A delegation from Pawnee county
called at the state house yesterday
morning to see what could be done
in the matter. A. III. Lupfer, former
Seate senator, headed the committee,
accompanied by E. Rowe and G. w.
Lawrence. They applied first to the
utilities commission, and then to the
railroad officials, and upon applica-
tion of the latter the emergency or
der was issued. The free rate will be
granted only on proper certification
by the county com mmissioners that
the farmers are in need of help.
Two weeks ago Charles NJ Sawyer,
state bank commissioner, sent out a
circular letter to about 300 bankers in
the western part of the state, asking
their Judgment on the proposition of
supplying seed wheat TO the farmers
in the western part of the state. His
proposition was to have the bankers
finance the purchase of seed wheat,
and sell it to the farmers on long
time notes, so as to tide them over
until the next harvest in places where
there had been crop failure this
year
THE local banks write me that in
nearly every case they can handle the
proposition rightat home,' said com
missioner Sawyer, ''if some arrange
ments can be made to get the seed
wheat hauled in free This is judging
from the answers already received,
about one-fourth probably, of all the
letters sent out. But there is going

This is the way the Macon Times

Last Saturday, the band, of which
Wa-Keeney can be justly proud, un-
der the leadership of Chas. Steinber-
ger, and some of the Wa-Keeney
boosters motored to Togo and Hill
City in the interest of the coming
Chautauqua.
A very nice concert was rendered
at Togo in the afternoon, while two
good programs were given in Hill
City in the evening.
To say that the Hill City audience
was appreciative, would be expressing
it mildly, for every selection was
loudly and earnestly applauded, while
little impromptu speeches, telling of
the merits of the Wa-Keeney Chau-
tauvua, were made by B. Smith,
county clerk of Graham county, and
J. w. Phares of this city. NJ
After the concert, the, Wa Keeney
delegation were invited to go to the
Hotel de Shoup, where they were
served sumptious dinner by the
Hill City Commercial Club.
The royal treatment received at
the hands of our neighbors will do
much in encouraging our new band,
some members of which have never
footed horn in public before, and
we might add that Wa-Keeney ex-
tends a grateful hand and hopes
that she may be able to show re-
turn of fellowship and apprecition
to her sister city in the near future.

HELIOGRAPHS AID
IN GUARDING FOREST

Supervisor Macduff Of the Siskiyou
forest reserve has recently received
at the head Office here a heliograph
outfit for installation in the reserve
TO aid in the reporting Of fires with
in the territory. Messages are
transmitted by these instruments by
the means of mirror flashes, and the
ones received here are the regular
U. S. army type. One Of the instru-
ments will be established at Snow
camp. at the head of the Pistol river
in Curry county, and another on
Pack Saddle mountain on the Win
chuck, 20 miles distant, and it Is eX-
pccted that no difficulty will be ex-
perienced in reading the mirror flash
messages at this distance on reason
ably clear days.
Later another set of two instru-
ments is expected to arrive, and
these will be established on High
Dome and on Ship mountain. These
four hellograph stations will cover
the territory not already covered
with telephone, and will be of great
assistance in the patrol of the forest
during the season of fire danger. The
fire guards were sent into the forest
on the first day of the month, eigh-
teen new men going on at that time.
Five more will be sent out on July
1st, making, in addition to the reg
ular men, thirty who Will be in the

with the system as well organized
as it is here, the probability OF dam
age to the timber of southern Ore
gon is reduced to a minimum. The
telephones now follow all the more
accessible trails, and with the install
Iation of the heliograph system no
point will be so remote that word Of
danger can not be received within a
few minutes
