Eluding Care.

G1UU1AS 0n1V'
When haggard you begin to look,
And shirk your bill Of fare,
Oh, HE you to some rustic nook
And thus forget your care.
The gay mosquito there will come,
And chase you through the night.
Perhaps a snake will scare you some,
Fen though it doesn't bite
The wasp will greet you with sting
The busy ant will prowl.
In discord by the hour will sing
The melancholy owl.
Amid such strange companions set
Who take you unaware.
You're pretty certain to forget
Your ordinary care.

CATTLE RAISING IN ALASKA ON
 LARGE SCALE

w. R. Bell, of Billings, Montana, for 30 years in the cattle raising busl- ness, Is going to the Kenai peninsula with 50 head of COWS and several mares and horses, because he thinks that country offers great opportuni- ties with it's hundreds of acres of hay to raise cattle on paying basis.
 MT. Bell has recently returned from four months" visit with a guide to many points in the Kenai peninsula country. While there he filed on a section of land, with partner, of GAO acres, upon which he will engage in the cattle raising business. He has located in the Kachmak bay region. He has left for his old home in Mon tana to get an outfit which will com prise 50 cows, seven or eight mares, horses, and farming implements, and will return to Alaska and proceed to the Kenai country where he will erect buildings on his homestead and do other work towards opening up his cattle ranch. If the success attains his efforts which he confidently ex- poets he will operate on a very large scale.
 Bell is favorably impressed with the country for cattle raising. He says that hundreds of acres of fine hay Is to be found which as feed for cattle Is excellent, it having good food values. He tells of one COW, seven years old, which had lived on the growths of the country solely, weighing 976 pounds when dressed. Also he is of the opin- ion that cattle of some kind have roamed that country for many years. He saw unmistakable signs of this in several of the old Russian settlements he visited.
 While out to the westward he met professor c. c. Jorgenson who be came interested in his plans, and re quested him to loan the Kodiak ex perimental station a stallion which he will bring to the country along wftf his cattle and horses.
 When a man like Bell, with 30 years experience in the cattle business over the great ranges of Montana elects t' cast his lot in cattle raising on tn, great hills and valleys of Kenai benin sula on a large scale, because he be lieves there are unlimited possibilities in that industry, it we'll becomes th' farmers now in that section and those contemplating engaging in farming ol other pursuits out that way to con slider seriously the question of cattle raising.

IOWA BUILDING TO Be
DEDICATED IN MARCH
Exercises Held at That Time Will At.
tract Thousands of Visiting
IoWanS.

The chances are the Iowa Building
will be dedicated early in March. EN-
met FINLEY, of Council Bluffs, who is
chairman of the house committee of
the Iowa Commission to the Panama.
Pacific International Exposition, is
looking into this matter now and will
make a decision in few days.
1t is thought that inasmuch as
March is pretty good month in Cali
fornia, that the dedication exercises
held at that time will attract not only
thousands of the 1owans resident in
California; but also will bring together
great many of the Iowans who an
nually make pilgrimages to the Pa
cific coast.
There has been some discussion by
the members of the commission rela-
tive to the maintenance of an Iowa
band at the Exposition grounds. The
distance is so great, however, that up
to the present time favorable consider
alton has not been given to this item.
One enthusiastic musician has writ
ten to the Commission urging that a
band be created by asking each county
to pay for the salary and expenses of
one member: This would mean a band
of 80 pieces, some band. There is
little chance, however, that this will
be carried out.

IT CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION

Washington, D. c., Jan. 90
President Wilson vetoed the immi'
grafton bill yesterday because Of
the literacy test for admission Of
aliens. His message was received in
the house and referred to the i'm.
migration committee, whose chair
man, Representative Burnett, will
move next Thursday that the meas
ure be passed over the executive We
to.
Much informal discussion among
members of the house followed the
reception of the veto, and advo-
Gates of the bill expressed conf
dence, other members asserted that
the required two-thirds majority to
force the measure into law over the
head of the chief executive could
not be procured.
Three times has an immigration
bill containing restrictive literacy
test been vetoed, first by President
Cleveland, next by President Taft
and now by President Wilson.
Twice congress failed to override
the presidential disapproval and
yesterday house managers were in
sistent that the veto should not be
considered until there had been
time for reflection
The president in his message
frankly told the house, which orig
mated the bill, that he hal no pride
of opinion on the question and was
not foolish enough to profess to
know the wishes and ideals Of
America better than the body of her
chosen representatives know them.
eff the people of this country
have made up their minds to limit
the number of immigrants by arbi-
trary tests and so reserve the policy
of all the generations of Americans
that have gone before them, it is
their right to do so," ne said. Il
am their servant and have no IL
cense to stand in their way. But I
do not believe they have"
