On March 8. 1913. the issuance of
permits was extended to England,
Scotland and Wales, but the refusal
to allow the Importation of cattle from
Ireland was continued. On May 8.

considered 1t safe to permit the ship

fact that the same were detained for
inspection by an Official of the board
OF agriculture and Fisheries at the

ain, the issuance of permits for Irish
cattle was resumed. The Importation
of Irish cattle, therefore, is permitted,

Friedrich, heir to the duchy of Neck
lenburg- -Strelitz. is the lucky man.
Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklen.
burg-Strelitz, sister of the late
Duchess of Teck, and consequently an
aunt of Queen Mary. is said to be re-
sponsible for the royal match, for
there are matchmakers in royalty as
well as among ordinary non-titled folk
At present the direct line of the
grand ducal family of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz is in danger of dying out. That
Is one reason why Grand Duchess Au-
gusta is SO anxious for the young peo-
pie to marry. II this match succeeds
she has reason to be quite proud of
her ability as real matchmaker. She
will be second to none. She will have
succeeded where the late King Ed
ward. as well as many other people OF
title. have failed.
Marrying Patricia" has been one of
the problems of royal English society
The Colorado statesman., 1913-10-25

Mrs. Thompson pleads guilty to the
full indictment of being a clubwoman
but all the organizations to which she
gives allegiance are concerned with
affairs of moment to the state and to
the nation generally. Believing fer
vently in the useful woman, Mrs
Thompson long ago joined the temper
ance crusade and she has always ear
nestly, by word and deed, promoted
its tenets. She is perfectly logical in
her position and believes that state
wide prohibition is the one way to
combat the alcoholic evil She holds
the other method Of throwing precau-
tions about the sale and regulating
the traffic has not resulted in suffici-
ent benefit to warrant continuing this
way. What is out of reach of all, the
strong as well as the weak. ceases to
be temptation, and for this reason.
she has thrown all her enthusiasm
and personal influence against modify
ing the strict laws which now hold
against the sale of strong drink

unfortunately. he has no means of re-
newing his ducal franchise.
1t was something OF a shock to Mr..
Zimmerman when he learned, Novem-
ber IS, 1901, that his daughter had
eloped with the duke and been mar
ried very quietly in London. Miss
Helena had been travelling abroad
with her aunt as chaperon. The duke
had been attentive to her for more
than year. but denials always fol-
lowed rumors of an engagement. Lon
don knew very well that the duke
had been adjudged a bankrupt in Au-
gust preceding his wedding, and that
his career as young man had been
wild and filled with unusual esca-
pades. Mr.. Zimmerman made the best
of what he considered bad bar
gain. There is nothing wrong with
the dukes title. He is William Angus

BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS PATRICIA. is ENGAGED

for several years. 1t has been a diff
cult problem. Princess Patricia Ia
beautiful. She always has been. Mar
rying her to suitable prince was not
difficult because of her lack of charm
or beauty, for she is one of the most
attractive and popular of the royal
family. There were suitors from far
and near. But Patricia herself was
the problem. She smiled on them or
at them. She coquetted and firted.
She led them to believe that perhaps
she really cared. But in the end, when
the fatal question was asked, Princess
Patricia laughed. and the answer was
always NO"
Princess Patricia is twenty-seven
years old, old enough for even a royal
princess to consider matrimony seri-
ously. Years ago, when royalty mar
ried at sixteen, she would have been
considered an old maid. Today she Is
Just the right age" for matrimony.
She was born on March II, 1886. st.
Patrick's day and her own name, Pat
ricia, evolved the name Pat" and as
Princess Pat" she is known to her
dearest friends and to the people who
are most interested in her
Princess Pats" whole name is
Princess Victoria Patricia Helen ELL
zabeth Of Connaught. She is the daugh-
ter of the Duke of Connaught, COVER
nor general of Canada, the only broth
er of the late King Edward.
Princess Pat" In spite of her title,
was brought up simply at Bagshot.
The Duchess of Connaught had her
own ideas as to how princess should
be trained and educated. She brought
up her two daughters according to
those ideas, with the result that the
two princesses, Margaret and Patricia,
were considered the most beautiful
girls in England when they were first
formally presented at court.

ALASKA EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

The u. S. department OF agriculture
has recently issued the annual report
of Alaska agricultural experiment sta
tions for 1912.
In the minds of many, Alaska means
scantiest vegetation; to such read
ing of the report named above will
be found worth while. OF especial in
terest are the pictures showing fruits
grown in Alaska. These pictures are
reproduced from photographs and
clearly show that Alaska is by no
means a bleak and barren land.
The Alaskan farmer is more de-
pendent upon the sunshine than the
farmer in the states; indeed the sue
cess or failure of his crops is deter.
mined to a large degree by the abund.
ance or lack of sunshine during the
growing season. The work of the
Alaska experiment stations Is largely
concerned with efforts to adapt crops
to the peculiar climatic conditions.
A feature of especial interest In this
report is the account of the results
Of the eruption of Mount Katami. 1t
will be remembered that from June 6
to June s. 1912. there was a fall of vol
canic ash from Katmai volcano. This
volcano Is about 80 miles west OF
Kodiak where station Is maintained
for experiments in live stock breeding.
AS result of the eruption the station
herd had to be brought to Toppenish,
Wash. to pass the winter, since 1t was
found more economical to bring the
cattle to food supply than to take
food supply to the cattle.
While the first effects of the volcan.
ic erption were disastrous, the report
states that it will eventually prove a
blessing in disguise. since the ashes
have made cultivation OF the land
much easier.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-10-25

Drogo Montague, duke of Manchester.
earl of Manchester, Viscount Mande-
vile and Baron Montague. He inher-
tied from his father profiigate tenden-
cies and the ducal seats OF Kimbolton
castle. Brampton park. Huntington
shire and Sanderangn castle, in Coun-
ty Armagh, Ireland. But these prop
critics were hopelessly mortgaged be-
fore Manchester began his search for
an heiress. There was no marriage
settlement. but the duke confidently
expected that Mr.. Zimmerman would.
once the duke had captured his daugh-
ter, open his heart and his safe de-
posit box.
But Mr.. Zimmerman knew more
about the duke than his grace reck-
oned on. He had heard, doubtless,
about his escapades.
So. when Kylemore castle. a beau
tifui estate comprising $4,000 acres
in County Connemara. Ireland, was
bought to provide a permanent home
for Manchester and his bride, it was
learned that the purchase price of
$315,000 had been provided by Mr..
Zimmerman, who went a step further
aud protected himself by taking title
to the estate. The duke really be-
came tenant of his American father
in-law. The duchess of Manchester
carried the same shrewd American
business sense into the management
of her household affairs. She holds
the purse strings and has had a con-
slant struggle to keep the duke with
in reason in his expenditures. Mr..
Zimmerman has never made a settle
ment upon his reckless son-in-law.
He has provided handsomely from his
millions of securities. consisting OF
railroad, industrial and mining stocks,
for the two children.

CATTLE DISEASE ERApIcATEp.

Owing to the fact that many import
ers OF pedigreed British cattle, sheep
and swine are unaware that the pro-
hibition against the importation of
ruminants and swine from Great Brit
ain, on the ground of the presence of
foot-and-mouth disease in these coun-
tries. has been removed, the British
Ambassador through the state depart
ment, has requested the secretary of
agriculture to make wide public an
nouncement that the disease has been
eradicated and that importations to
the United States are now permitted
The United States department OF
agriculture. in order to prevent the
introduction OF this and other dis
eases from abroad, has been exercis-
ing very watchful supervision over
all importations of live cattle from
foreign countries. On June 20, 1912,
as the result of a cablegram advising
a fresh outbreak of foot-and-mouth
disease in Cumberland, England, and
later cablegrams advising OF the detec-
ton of foot-and-mouth disease in the
Liverpool market and among Irish
cattle from Swords. Dublin, and later
reports during June. July and Decem-
ber. 1912. as to the presence of this
disease, the department discontinued
the issuance of permits and concealed
outstanding permits. and continued to
refuse such issuance throughout the
year 1912. On January IS, 1913. the
issuance of permits for cattle from
the Channel islands. where there had
been no case OF foot-and-mouth dis
ease. with transshipment at South
ampton subject to the supervision of
