lCnntinuedl

Before we realized it we were
in Paradise valley. This valley,
which was once a field of snow
and ice is now thickly covered
with grass, a vivid green, inter
spersed with wild flowers of
(which there are 400 varieties, we
were told. This is truly flow
er garden, natures own and you
can not have one flower. There
are growths of fir, cedar and other
trees but not dense. We found
the grass and flowers growing
right up to the snow line and
trying to push their way up
through the snow as well. We
have never seen such beautiful
green grass before or since. 1t
was a plasure to just look at 1t
and we had a refreshed feeling
afterward, as one who receives a
good cold drink OF mountain
water on a hot day. The flowers
and the grass seemed to partake
of the purity and freshness of
the snow.
We left our car and l think we
must have been an hour climbing
up to the snow line. We sat
on a grassy bank and made snow
balls. This was the first of
August. Night began to come
down; the sun had almost SET
and there was a chill in the air
We watched the sun set on Mt
Tacoma, a acknowledgements
event in our lives. OF to the
east so far, so far, a great arch
of deepest blue spanned the sky
reaching from one range o.
mountains to another, so distan
as to be almost indistinct. Thu
whole sky was diffused with tn
faintest softest pink; the grea
arch grew deeper and wider ant
seemed to lift and pass on to tn
other side of the mountains. w
saw new shades of color in thi
high altitude we had never see
before. Obi the depth an
heighth and breadth, the immen
sity of space; you are over
whelmed with a sense of the In
finite. The great ice rivers com
prominently into view; we coul
trace them far up the mOuntai
side by their hard, clear, brigf
blue color. How near we SCENE
to the great yawning chasms

State Lands
Open 10 Lease

A grand total of i28,437 acres
of choice grazing and agricultur-
al land located in almost every
county in the state is now open
to entry for leasing purposes from
the state, that amount having
been ordered cancelled by the
land board because of the failure
of the former lessees after due
notice, to advance the lease mon
ey for the use of the land as the
law requires. AS a result some
of the larger sheepmen and
sheep companies in the state can
not continue to use the land un-
der the. old lease and it is open
TO those who desire state land
either for grazing or agricultur-
al purposes.
Some of the items of lease
money due to the state but which
were not paid after a 30-day no
tice, and due the state Jan. 4, 1916
ae as follows: Sl6O, S2O7, $500,
$50. $1,000, $3.50, $40, Sl60,
si63. The list includes several
hundred of leases.
This land is now open to
lease" said Governor Alexander,
chairman of the state board of
land commissioners when dis
GUESSING the cancellation. LAS l
understand it, it includes some
very choice grazing and agricul-
tural lands which can be leased
from the state by those who wish
land Of this character. In view
Of the fact the old leases have
been cancelled, those who wish to
secure such land should be in
formed Of the fact.
The land board also passed a
resolution to the effect no lands
after being selected shall be re-
leased until properly advertised.
The board having about finish

ganization of the land department

set of rules for the future gov
erning of the board.
At the present time all of the
employees of the land department
are holding but temporary posi-
tons, the land board some time

this snow mountain; to the glis-
tening white pinnacles and the
ice caves far below. Most Won
derful of all, we could see in the
distance those noted mountain
peaks, Mt. Adams, Hood and Hell
ma, all clothed in everlasting
white.
Here we were, 5000 feet and
more up in the air. you might say
viewing these wonders of nature.
We felt like so many atoms lost
in space. Night was upon us
and we hurried down the noun
tain side, glad to be once more
with our auto friends and to know
we were still on earth. We found
them seated around a huge bon
fire telling stories The night had
grown vry cold SO we heaped
the logs up; whole trees, dead
timber brought from the silver
forest. We were burning on
one side, freezing on the othr; so
we went to bed trying to keep
warm until the morning.
Soon sharp streaks of light,
like a powerful flash light, began
to pierce the mountain here and
there. Soon the moon came
creeping slowly up, clear and
cold. The stars came out, so
cold and brilliant they seemed to
pierce us with their light. We
tried to sleep but tn cold was
penetrating and we were glad
when morning came.
The the sun came up warm
and bright. The frost was melt
ing and running in a stream off
the top of our car. After a
while we went down the hill and
filled our African water bottle
from a little cool clear mountain
stream. At Z o'clock we stood
at our camping place and
watched a party away up on the
mountain side. So far away
were they that they look like SO
many small dark objects on this
great white mountain.

A gentleman whose beautiful

public had an old gardener who was
in the habit of showing parties
around the beds. At such times he
would, in a hurried, Cabling voice,
explain the names to the visitors.
When nearing the exit gate he
would, however, suddenly pause and
draw special attention to a pretty
cluster Of modest posies, and then, in
a significant tone of voice, exClaim:

A Dispute Which Goes to Show That
Though the Bowery Is Dead Its Soul
Goes Marching On.

New York, Nov. ia battle for
commercial supremacy between New
York and New Jersey opened today
with arguments before the interstate
commerce commission for and against
New Jerseys plea to divide the port
of New York into two separate parts.
The busiest part Of New Jerseys
waterfront is now g. part Of the port
of New York, and freight rates to the
nearby cities are the same as those
in the greater city. New Jersey in
application seeks to have her water
front exclusive Of the port of New
York, thereby giving an advantage in
freight rates amounting approximate
ly to the lighterage charges of those
goods which have to be transported
to the New York side Of the harbor.

aged %, while the latter was asleep,
and, two hours later, went to the

with which he had threatened to shoot
Police Chief Richmond.
Gilman. according to the police, ad-
mits the shooting. He is believed to
be mentally unsound. When the po-
lice asked him the reason for his acts
he said: "I felt that [ should do it.
ut would be better for them"
Nelson Gilman, who is IS years
old, was taken to a private hospital,
where it was said the chances were
against recovery.
Gilman and his cousin had attended
the Elks fair here last night and
later went on an automobile ride,
I parting the best of friends. About 4
o'clock in the morning, John w. Gill
man. in passing by the room Of his

was at first thought that death had
been due to a hemorrhage, but later

the right temple. The indications
for time pointed to suicide, but

is AGAIN ACCUSED
OF STEALING AUTO
New Britain Youth, Who Was Arrest
ed For Offense Last June, Back
In Tolls.

Stanley Fedrocich, better known
as Stanley Fedorczek and sometimes
employed under the alias of Stanley
Frederick, a New Britain boy whose
sole claim to fame lies in his ability
to get into trouble, was arrested by
sergeant George Kelly in Denison's
garage Saturday night on the charge
OF having stolen an automobile.
MIR. Denison called the poIice and
SAID there was a young man in his
garage who acted suspiciously. Ser
geant Kelly investigated and found
Fedro6ich, who was wanted bv the
Hartford police for stea1ine 500 eo
from Cranton's Coffee House in Hart
ford almost a month ago. The young
man had driven into the garage with
Fora runabout that Tailed with the
description of one stolen from Will
liam McKone of Hartford Friday
night. The license plates on the car
belonged to J. B. Ryan of the Film
Tree Inn, Pennington, but where the
young man got them is mystery The
original huber plates were hidden in
found in the car. The youth said the
coat was his own and the automobile
belonged to his brother.
The young man was taken to Hart
ford yesterday.
1t is not impossible that after the
Hartford police get through with him
Fedrocich may be brought before the
local court as Mr.. Denison claims that
he stole a micrometer from his gar
age and pawned it at Bessie Fien-
COLDS pawn shop.
Last June Fedrocich was arrested in
Springfield for the theft of an auto
m obile in Hartford. At that time he
was caught only after being chased
and shot at by the police. He was
sentenced to one year in Jail, but judg-
! nnent was suspended during good be-
havior and he was placed in charge of
the local probation officer.
