SHORT CUT TO YELLOWSTONE

The forest service has crew at
work this week making final survey
of the Buffalo Hazelton road, prepar.
atory to completing construction
work begun last summer. This strip
of road, crossing the Bighorn nation
al forest, forms an important link In
the Black and Yellow trail leading
from Belle Fourche, South Dakota,
through Sundance, Moorcroft, Gil.

Basin, and Cody to the east entrance
of the Yellowstone national park.
According to forestry officials. the
completion of the Buffalo Hazelton
road comprises one of the most i'm.
.portant road projects in the national
forests of the west. The successful
outcome of the Black and Yellow
trail is said to have depended to q
great extent upon this stretch of road
leading as it does across the Bighorn
mountains, and the work accomplish.
ed last year fully demonstrates the
feasibility of the route. With the
completion of the work this year, the
Black and Yellow trail will be placed
on the map.
Not only will the advantages oi
this road be felt along the route ot
the Black and Yellow trail. but by
tourists from Colorado points az

trail connects with the Black and
Yellow trail at Buffalo and persons
desiring short cut to the park will
have access to the Buffalo Hazeltor
road across the Bighorn mountains
in preference to going around by

These things were interpreted as
evidence of hostility to the North,
and one which the American people
have found it very difficult to over
look.
But is it not possible, after a
lapse OF fifty years, to take an UNI
biased view of the matter? How

earthly, both men of strong North
ern sympathies, assure us that at
no time had the English Government
any thought of recognizing the in
dependence of the South, and that
the only thing for which they could
be justly blamed was the manner
in which they dismissed the re-
monstrance about the building of
privateers. The proclamation of
neutrality and the recognition of
the South as a belligerent power
was made with no unfriendly
motive. Mccarthy says, It was
made at the instance of some of
the most faithful friends the North
ern cause had on this side of the
Atlantic, conspicuous among whom
in recommending it was Mr.. w.
E. Foster. If such a proclamation
had not been issued, the English
Government could not have under

the Southern ports. If there was

Cause had many great and enthusi-
astic friends, whose words even now
cannot be read without a thrill of
gratitude. DR.. Newman Hall, in an
address before General Grant, the
officials of the United States, and
the principal members of Congress,
stated that thousands of enthusiastic
mass meetings were held throughout
Great Britain to express sympathy
with the Northern Cause, while not
SO much as one was attempted on
the side of the Confederacy.
Many of the middle class and the
whole of the working class were for
the most part with the North. These
men, and especially the cotton oper-
atives in Lancashire, suffered much
as a result of the war. The block
aiding operations of the North pro-
duced cotton famine which threw
thousands out of work; yet they re-
manned firm in their sympathies for
the National Government, and chose
rather to starve than to petition Eng
land to aid a cause which upheld
slavery. Such spirit of self-denial
could not have been surpassed even
by those who were citizens of Amer
lea.
Henry Ward Beecher tells us that
the Southern sympathizers in Par
lament would at any time, for three
years, have voted for the South
against the North, but that they
feared a revolution on the part of
the common people. These men, al
though not then having the ballot,

and it was this which held the South
ern sympathizers in check.
Thus have | reviewed the great
differences of the Anglo-Saxon ma
tons. Disputes we have had since
the Civil War, but the Christian
good sense of both nations has found
a peaceful solution, and the relations
have steadily improved until England
gave substantial proof of her
friendship for us during our war for
the liberation of Cuba.

were the equally liberty loving and
sturdy Dutch of Holland, would
have looked upon the measures of
the British Parliament as tyranny.
They rebelled because they were

wrung from reluctant tyrant that
great charter which is the foundation
of our liberties on both sides of the
Atlantic, who possessed strong con-
victions as to their rights and
privileges under the English Con-
stitution. We have scarcely an in
stitution which does not find it's
parallel in Great Britain and the
British Colonies. Both alike are
lovers of freedom, and, notwith-
standing that England is nominally
a kingdom, both have practically
the same principles of government.
for they are both q government of
the people, by the people, and for
the people"
Each country has reflected it's vir-
tue and influence upon the other in
such way as to make them equally
progressive. To show the influence
of England upon America since in
dependence may not be an easy task,
That it has been great no one can
deny. Some of the most progressive
and energetic of Britain's sons have
helped to develop this country; the
industries of Great Britain have been
the examples which we have follow
ed, and in fact many of our greatest
industries have been literally trans
ferred from the British Islands. In
tellectually, we have been influenced
by England's scholars and thinkers.
| This naturally comes from a common
language and literature.
| Much of our moral and religious
progress has received its inspiration
from England. The modern anti
slavery movement began there. 1t
was Wesley, an Englishman, who
first denounced slavery as the sum
of all villainies;" and an English poet
sang,
Slaves cannot breathe in England;
if their lungs
Receive our air, that moment they
are free.
They touch our country and their
shackles fall"
England set an example to the
nations by emancipating the slaves
throughout the Empire. This ex-
ample, no doubt was felt through
out this country, and made WILDER
force, Clarkson and others, the
forerunners of Garrison, Phillips
and Lincoln. The great English
revival was one of the sources of
our religious progress. With other
immigrants, it brought the local or
lay preacher, whose work in the
evangelization of the Union has been
so great.
Such in part is England's influence
upon America. What has the United
States done for England? Some
times we hear the question, What

the sacrifice of freedom-these work
ing people now control the English
House of Commons, and it was
largely due to this fact that we had
England's goodwill and sympathy
during our war with Spain. If we
have quarrelled with England more
than with any other European State.
it is because, by virtue of her Colo
NAL Empire, she is our neighbor.
Great Britain is a world-power, and
Canada is the second great power on
the American Continent, ranking
only below the United States; and it
is this rather than any enrnity on her
part that causes her interests some
times to clash with ours.
Perhaps it is too much to expect
that future differences will not arise
between us, but if we continue the
cultivation of friendship, these dis
putes will always have a peaceful
solution.
There are many things which bind
these two countries together in the
closest bonds of friendship. No two
other nations have so many things
in common. The ties which bind
them together are so many that
they are a strong argument for
friendship.
We are largely one in blood. 1t
is true that millions of immigrants
have settled in this land; but ethno-
logists tell US that though the
Angle-Saxon stock has been made
rich and strong by score of cross
ings with the most vigorous and
intellectual of modern races, it
nevertheless remains Anglo-Saxon.
We speak the same language that
language so rich in endearing terms,
as mother, father, home and heaven,
the language of a common Bible,
dear to all alike, and the strongest
link that unites us as race. We
have a common literature. Where can
we find anything to surpass it /?
From Beowulf to Chaucer, from
Chaucer to Shakespeare, and from

ing, it is a literature of which any
race might be proud, a literature
which is unsurpassed by any age or
or country and this literature
poetry and prose, history, science,
philosophy and fiction is the common
inheritance of all Angle-Saxondom.
English books fill our shelves, and
our books are in every library

It will always be we'll to remem-
Der that at that time, England was
fighting almost single-handed, not
only for her own national existence
but for that of the oppressed
nations of Europe; that the Orders
in Council were the result of Ma
poleon's Milan and Berlin DEGREES,
which inflicted as much injury upon
American commerce as any act of
Great Britain; that American writer's
acknowledge that half the crews of
American ships were British de-
serters having false projections, and
that the English authorities had
exercised their asserted right of i'm
pressment very sparingly; and also
that long before President Mad
ison's warlike message was sent
to Congress, a bill for the repeal of
the Orders in Council was passed
through Parliament, and that five
days after America had declar-
ed war, and at least three weeks be-
fore the declaration could be known
in England, the measures had been
Internationally repealed.
Could our fathers have possessed
the spirit of the American govern
ment of today, and had they the same
means of communication which we
now possess, the second war with
England would never have been
fought.
We pass now hurriedly to the
period of the Civil war; for all
other matters of controversy are
of small consequence as compared
to this.
When the war broke out, it was
expected for many reasons that the
sympathies of England would have
been extended to the North. The
enc reproach which Englishmen had
always been casting in the faces of
Americans was that they tolerated
and upheld slavery, and the English
possessions to the North of us had
been the destination of every slave
who sought to escape from bond
age.
To the surprise of every one,
however, the tide seemed to turn
in the opposite direction. The
upper classes sympathized with the
South, and the Government showed

Birds and Trees

A European naturalist points out an
interesting fact about birds and trees
to which, he says, no attention has
hitherto been paid. This is that GER
tain species of birds show a prefer
ence for particular kinds of trees.
According to the observations of this
gentleman jays and rocks prefer the
oak, finches the lime-tree, blackcaps
the laurel, thrushes the birch and the
ash, and woodpeckers the beech, while
the nightingale loves especially to
frequent groves of nut trees.
If this is so very interesting field
for observation is offered, in which
young and old can alike take part
Only a knowledge of the principal
varieties of trees and the ability to
recognize the common species of birds
are required to fit one for investiga-
ton in this field.
No one who has not tried it can
form any conception of the intense in
terest that simple walk through the
fields or woods is capable of awak-
ening when the stroller has some
definite object in view, toward which
his thoughts and his observations
are all tending.
No better object of the kind could
settle the question whether certain
birds do prefer certain trees, and if
so, what trees and birds are oftenest
found together This is an exercise
in natural history that would have
delighted Louis Agassiz, who was
continually urging his students to-
study nature in preference to books.
1t is also said that bluebirds prefer
to build in old apple trees or stumps,
the song sparrow builds on the
ground or among bushes, the
meadow lark and blackbirds build in
marshy, low places near the ground.
swallows build under the caves of
houses or in banks of sand or soft
clay, woodpeckers make their nests
in old trees, orioles build in high
trees, catbirds like thickets to build
in, wrens build in odd places, crows
| and eagles build in high trees and inI
crevices of a high cliff, cowbirds build
no nests but lay their eggs in nests OF
smaller birds.
