Post.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Ex-Secre
tary of State Richard Olney of Bos
son, having declined the chairmanshiI
of the federal reserve board, the pres
ident is driven to the revision of the
entire list on which it had been tenta-
lively decided.
Besides OIney, the men the president
is understood to have chosen were Paul
NJ. Warburg of New York, Harry A.
Wheeler of Chicago, w. P. G. Harding
of Birmingham, Ala, and DR.. A. c.
Miller of San Francisco. Warburg has
accepted. 1t is considered certain
that Wheeler and Miller will follow
his example. 1t is also thought Hard
ing will accept.
The presumption in administration
circles was that Warburg or Harding,
should the latter accept, will be given
the craftsmanship. There is much
speculation as to who will be selected
for the fifth vacancy.

SPLlT=LOG DRAG
EASY AND SIMPLE
ID. WARD KING. THE INVENTOR
TELLS BOISE PEOPLE HOW
TO USE 1T.
Claimed to be the Greatest Utility of
the Kind for Keeping Up Good
Roads Ever Built.

Boise Statesman Speaking to {
crowd of over 200 persons, D. Ward
King, the Missouri farmer whose meth.
ods of maintaining good roads have
been stamped with the approval of the
United States government, gave his
lecture at the Commercial club rooms
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. King is not
an orator but his interest in his sub
ject and his straightforward manner
make up for any shortcomings in for
ensic ability.
He explained how, almost by acci-
dent, he stumbled on the split-log
drag as a means of repairing and
maintaining q road to the nearest
town over which his children could
go to school and by means of which
he could get his mail and supplies to
the farm with the least difficulty.
Takes to Outdoor Life.
He told how, when he was compelled
through i'll health to take up an
outdoor life he had gone upon farm
and because he had absolutely nc
knowledge of farming and because
each farmer had different method
and he could not determine the best,
he was compelled to experiment and
in this manner had come into the habit
of seeking out the solutions Of his
farming troubles in his own manner.
1t was in this way that he took an
that had been built for
the purpose of breaking down com
stalks and dragged it out upon the
road and found he had made dis
covery which has revolutionized the
and care in six states.
Drag Works on All Roads.
The efficiency of the King system
depends entirely upon the people, said
Mr.. King, the drag will do its work on |

There are three essentials of a good

Colorado Coal Operators Send TeIe
gram to President Wilson Today.

DENVER, Col, May 5.-That recent
criticisms of ]. D. Rockefeller, Jr., in
connection with the Colorado coal
strike were unjust because he has no
interest in their properties and hadn'

the declaration of 20 of the principal
coal operators in Colorado in tele-
gram to the president.
The operators stated that they re-
fused to negotiate with the United
Mineworkers for settlement of the

Napoleon not only read great deal, but read with profit. His memory was extraordinary.
