Santa Fe. Aug. 20.--Lew Wallace

Through the dim corridors and thick
walled rooms Of the Palace OF the
Governors; he indicted once more the
stirring chapters at the close Of Ben
Hur and retired TO his bed room TO
pen the lines that describe so graphi-
cally the crucifixion. Col. Ralph r..
lTwitchell In eloquent tribute to the
former governor OF New Mexico. told
of the life OF Wallace. as WARRIOR a
statesman, an executive and most i'm
portant. as a writer.
'"The Man and His Book was the
subject of the lecture TO the summer
school, and the announcement of the
title and the name of the lecturer, was
sufficient to bring out q large audi
ence that crowded the assembly room
Of the Old Palace. The lecture was
beautifully illustrated with lantern
slides. collected from far and wide by
Colonel Twitchell. That the discourse
strikes a popular vein Is manifest
from the fact that Colonel Twitchell
has already had so many demands for
the lecture that he could spend the
next few years on the lecture plat
form giving this brilliant address.
Especially interesting to Santa
Feans were references to Lew Wal
laces stay of three years in Santa Re

his foibles and his admirable qualities.
There were "reminiscences by people
still living in Santa Fc. among these
being United States Senator Thomas
Il. Catron, Hon. Rafael Romero and
others who were on intimate footing
with Wallace. The method Of writing
Ben Hur and the literary excel ence of
the book were emphasized. 49,
Mrs. w. II. Bartlett read the Cha
riot Race with fine effect and the mu-
steal program following the choral
exercises In the patio, included Mo
zarts Flowers and Fancies by the
summer school ladies' chorus, and a
solo by Miss Clarbel Fisher The
Swallows" both selections well de-
serving the encore they received.

Speaking of forestry in the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Woolsey said;
Il do not feel that we have as yet
passed the stage of conservative lum-
bering. Our market prices are in
many parts of the west still extreme
" low. There are large bodies of over
mature timber which the govern
ment and private owners must dis
pose of before the stands can be
brought to their highest producing
capacity. This development takes
time and must be dependent upon
the construction of logging railroads.
Hand In hand with this conserva-
tive numbering must always come the
classification of agricultural land, for
1T is recognized that there are many
Isolated tracts in the national forests
which must be opened to agricultural
settlement.
More than 100000 acres have
been opened to settlement in New
Mexico and Arizona forests since
1906. supplying homes for 1000 set
tiers"
Mr. Woolsey was loudly applauded
