WELTYS + CORNER

One week from Thursday the bass
and salmon season will open in Penn
sylvania. Beginning with to-day ang-
lers may catch any kind of fish found
in the streams of the State. The trout
season ends July 81. Indications point
to good season.
Local anglers are of the opinion that
fishing between the city dam and Rock
vile will not be very encouraging this
season. While the Susquehanna river
abounds with bass and salmon, 1t is
said that the game fish will not be
found in large numbers above the dam.
They can get through the dam all right,
but local anglers claim that bass and
salmon will make little effort to get
above the dam.

IBOWMAN'S STORE
IS 45 YEARS OLD
Steady, Prosperous Growth
Has Marked Progress of Firm
That Began in Small Way

Forty-five years of continuous. pros
porous growth-that is the history of
the rise of Bowman g. Co. which the
store is celebrating this week. The
present modern. complete and service
giving store on Market street is the
great oak which sprung from the little
acorn that started to grow way back
in 1871 at Front and Market streets.
The Oak" is the title of a little
book which Bowman & Co. have pub
lished in honor of the occasion of
their forty-hfth birthday, and the
giant oak is aptly described therein as
rejecting the strength of great bust
ness houses built upon sound and last
ing principles. John X. Bowman was
the pioneer for the business which
has since grown to such proportions
under his care and through the assist
ance in more recent years of his two
sons, ]. W. and ii. Fl. Bowman.
One bright morning in June. 1871,
the market place in the city of Har-
risburg was the center of interest as
the farmers drew Up their horses to
observe the new sign that had been
hung out. That was the start of the
business.
To-day a handsome new structure,
one year old, Occupies the site of the
old Grand Hotel at 31S Market street
and the old Bowman store. and the
Bowmans are receiving congratulations
on their arrival at the forty-fifth mile
stone of the road OF progress.

to-day in the capital. The death of
the president apparently solves the
heated political crisis. Ii Yuan Hung's
succession to the presidency meets the
demand of the leader in the southern
provinces.
Many Attempts on His Life
Yuan shi Kai died while the storms
OF revolution were gathering in in
creasing strength. The revolt broke
out in December. 1915. when the presi-
dent announced his intention of being
a monarchy and ascending the throne
as the first emperor of a new dynasty.
His coronation was set for early In
February of this year. but was post
poned indefinitely owing to the extra
ordinary rapi iity with which the re-
volt spread through Southern China.
Several attempts were made upon the
presidents life and a bomb plot was
discovered in the imperial palace.
The establishing of a monarchy was
strenuously opposed by Japan and the
final abandonment of the plan was
largely credited to the representations
made by Toxic.
AhteIlucu 10 heSlEn
The revolt progressed. however. and in
March the governor of the Chinese
provinces demanded the resignation OF
the president. In May the provinces
of Shansi and Shantung announced
their independence and a provisional
government was established by the
generals commanding the revolution
ary forces in the south. President
Yuan Shi kai announced on MAY 26
his intention to resign when a suitable
successor was chosen. 1t was reported
little later that the president intend
ed to take refuge in Japan and dis
patches from Toxic said that he was
negotiating for residence in the
Japanese capital.
Washington, D. c., June 6. A
cableSram to the State Department
to-day from American Minister
Reinsch at Peking announced the
death of Yuan Shi Kai, president of
China.
Yuan Shi Kai was reported to have
been taken seriously i'll on May IS. At
that time dispatches from China said
it was believed in Peking that the
president had been poisoned but this
report was denied by the Chinese am
bassador at Washington. who insisted
the president was not even i'll.
The minister's message. dated at
Peking at II a. m. to-day said Yuan
died last night and Premier Tuan Chi
Jun had announced that he would
give his full support to the vice presi-
dent, Ii Yuan Hung. No details of
the presidents death were given and
no mention made of the widely cir
cuited and officially denied reports
that he had been poisoned.
Official notice of the president S
death had not reached the Chinese en-
bassy fere. and until word came
from Minister Reinsch, both the en-
bassy and the State department were
inclined to be skeptical of the first
announcement from Shanghai
It is generally believed here that ac-
cessions of Ii Yuan Hung to the presi-
dency will make possible early res
toration of order in China and bring
the revolving and loyal provinces to-
gether. Ii has occupied a peculiar
position, having taken sharp issue
with Yuan in opposition to the restor-
alton of the monarchy, and being thor
oughly imbued with republican ideals
Ii is declared to be one of the most
popular men in China because he has
abstained from factional quarrels.

SAVING THE NATIONS RESOURCES
Water Power Bills Will Save 100000
Tons of Coal Each Month

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Much that is misleading has been
written and published in reference to two
water power bills now before Congress. Both
bills will encourage the development OF water
power and save coal, because one horsepower
generated by water saves one ton Of coal each
month
A letter from Clifford Pinchot published on
the editorial page Of your valued paper on
November 81, 1916, Is misleading, because
neither the Shields nor the Myers bill will
hand over power without compensation"
Wherever additional power is made available
business is increased, and the people, the
municipality, the state and the nation all re-
ceive compensation through increased bust
ness.
Each of the two bills now before Congress
provides that the Federal government shall
always have control, and the Shields bill, in
addition, requires construction must be ac-
cording to plans, specifications, drawings and
maps approved by the War Department"
Mr.. Pinchot estimates the amount OF power
available on our navigable streams az
60 OOO,0 900 horsepower That being the case,
then the amount Of coal saved would be at
least 100000 tons a month.
True conservation Of a natural resource
prevents it's waste. Development OF power by
water uses a perpetually replenished natural!
resource that now is wasted. It saves coal,
oil, gas and other fuel-all of which are natu
raj resources that cannot be replaced.
Mr. Pinchot says that oil needed for the
navy is to be given away; yet he desires to
estop or prevent the development Of power
BY water, which will save oil. To prevent the
farmer from tilling the broad area Of this
country would be comparable TO Mr.. Pinchots
desire to prevent private parties from deyel-
oping water power.
Mr.. Pinchot is right when he recommends
the conservation Of the forests by the Federal
or state government, because that work can
not be done economically by the individual,
whose short span Of active life-about fifty
years-is small compared with the time in
terval necessary for the proper development
Of forest But such an argument cannot
be made applicable 70 the development Of
water power.
Let US do all we can 70 encourage the de.
veopment of our water power and the Guilt
walton OF our land. W. II. YATES, c. T.

The Christmas Trees Origin

prom The Peoples IONS JOurrdll
A beautiful myth concerning the Christmas
tree. the fir, is connected with St. Winfred.
In the early part Of the eighth century while
this famous missionary was hewng down the
sacred oak which his pagan people had been
worshipping tornado blasted it. Just be
hind IT, unframed by the whirlwind, stood a
young FIR tree, pointing a green spire to the
stars. Winfred turned TO his followers and
said:
This little tree, young child Of the for
est shall be your holy tree tonight. It is
the wood Of peace, for your houses are built
Of IT, It is a sign Of an endless life. for its
leaves are always green. See how it points
upward TO heaven. Let this be called the
tree Of the Christ Child. Gather about it;
not in the wild woods, but in your own
homes; there It will shelter no deeds Of
blood, but loving gifts and acts Of kindness"
A quaint old writer thus spiritualizes the
practice Of Christmas decorations: $50 our
churches and houses, decked with bays and
rosemary, holly and ivy and other plants
which are always green, winter and summer,
signify and put US in mind OF His Deity, that
the Child that now is born, was God and man,
who should spring up like a tender plant,
should always be green and fourishing, and
should live forever more" Festive carols
were chanted at Christmas in praise Of the
evergreen, the holly, the rosemary and the
bay
