Count Ferdinand Zeppelin. called
by Emperor William the greatest
German of the twentieth century"
died March 8. He became famous at
the age of 20 as the builder of the
worlds first practical dirigible balloon.
On his seventy fifth birthday he cele-
brated by navigating the air. Before
he became famous he had devoted
fifty years to his problem, had given
up a brilliant career as cavalry leader,
and had exhausted his fortune of
$75O,000 in his efforts to conquer the
air. His first balloon experience was
had in the United States in a captive
balloon used by union soldiers in the
civil war. His airships were smashed
SO many times that the German press
began to make fun OF him; but in
1908 the tide turned. He thrilled the
world by staying aloft 81 hours and
sailing his fifth airship in a straight
course nearly 800 miles. At the close
of his career nc had earned fortune
almost as great as the one he lost.

Congressman Monders extemporaneous tribute to Colonel Cody,
made on the floor of the house when the death of the famous scout
was received, has been printed widely throughout the east and is re-
garded a a most fitting eulogy of Buffalo Bill. "Whatever others
may have contributed to the history of that time and region to the
work of development that has brought SO marvellous a transformation
into many section of the old west, of the mountain and plains. no one
will challenge Col. Codyhs premiership in contribution to those thrill
ing and inspiring episodes, to the pleasing and picturesque ilumina.
ton of those Incidents and characteristics of his period and section,
which have most charmed and challenged, inspired and thrilled, the
nation and the world. Other men have illustrated in a more marked
degree some n of the manyauractive qualities and shining virtues
which Colonel Cody possessed, but no one ever lived in the west who
combined, as he did, the sterling qualities which make men useful
in stirring and soul testing days, with the graces of person and mu
ner which complete and round out the figure of an ideal representa-
tive of a time and condition curiousIy blending the extremes of
hardship and romance, He passed away as he had lved-a courage,
Gus soul, calm-eyed and even pulsed in the presence of the inevitable,
heroic, gracious, considerate-and thus preserved for the nation the
charming ideal of character which has and will continue to make the
story of William F. Cody, ("Bufalo Bill") of intense and absorbing
interest to those, whose hearts remain young and respond to the
thrills of romance and adventure"
Mr.. Mondell has introduced a bill appropriating $4,000 toward
an equestrian statute of Col. Cody, to be erected in the town of Cody.

Increased Grazing Fees Announced.

An increase of % per cent in the craving fees on all National
Forests, instead of 50 l3 per cent as was originally contemplated,
Will be made for the season 1917, according to the plan announced by
Secretary Houston, through the local Forest headquarters. Subse.
quent increases will be based o II a study of the local conditions ON
the individual Forests, and will vary in accordance with the facts
thus obtained.
The timber, grazing, water power and other resources of the
National Forests which are used for commercial purposes should be
charged for at a rate which represents their fair value" said Score.
tay Houston. IF a charge of only sufficient to cover the cost of
administration were made, all of the profit from the commercial use
oil the National Forests would go to a comparatively few individuals
instead to al. the people to whom they belong and who are entitled to
share their benefits. The charge for grazing should be based upon
the real value of the forage on the National Forest ranges, as deter
mined by a careful survey of all the facts and not by competitive
bids, Is required in timber sales"
"Whether or not the fees charged at the present represent a fair
value o the forage is the question to be decided. The facts before
mt clearly indicate that the present charge does not represent the full
value OF the grazing privileges on the National Forests"
Modification of the original plan was decided upon, the Secretary
SAID, because OF the possibility of u variation in the real value of
grazing on different Forests or in different localities, and because in
a few instances the full proposed increase might not not be justified
A specific study, he stated, will be made of the existing conditions
upon each OF the National Forests Upon the basis of the facts OBJ
tanned, additional increases will be made when the real value of tle
forage upon any Forest is found to be more than the amount charcoal
no additional increase will be made before March l, 1918.

WHITE RUSSIAN PUREST sLAv
His Racial Habitation is the Most
Backward Region of the Empire
of the Gar.

A sketch of white Russia. the first
part of old Russian soil to feel the
power of the invader, is given in a
statement issued by the National &C.
ographic society.
White RUSSIA comprises four Rus
sian governments. Vitebsk, Smolensk,
Moghileff and Minsk. 1t is said that
the name is derived from the predomi-
nant color of the peasant dress. This
division of Russia is bounded by the
Pripet river basin on the south and by
the Duna, or southern OWNS, on the
north. 1t supports a population of
about seven INT one-half million, two
third of which is white Russian and
the rest Lithuanian, Jewish IND Pol
ish. Here, likely, is to be found the
purest Slav type. almost unblended.
This region, blanketed by swamps and
marshes, and smothered in forests, is
one of the poorest, most backward re-
gions in European l.ussia.
Firms dwelt here before history be-
gan for Europe. They were expelled
by Lithuania, who in turn gave way
before migrating Slavonic tribes.
The country finally passed back
to the Lithuanians, then to Poland,
and was won piecemeal by Great Rus
STA. Polish oppression and religious
persecution worked a wholesale DESC
lation here, and thousands of peasants
fed into Russia, while those who re-
manned intrigued for Russia's coming.
The whole of the region was not an
neXed by the Great Russians until the
end of the eighteenth century. Starva-
ton a swept this land again and
again with as terrible effects as those
experienced by India in the grip of
famine.
THE White Russian is not of so
sturdy a build as the Great Russian,
nor so comely as the Little Russian.
He is less aggressive than his north
ern neighbor, and more heavy than his
southern neighbor. His hair and Eyes
are light, and his face is generally
drawn. The garment peculiar to him
Is his white overcoat which he
wears on all special occasions as
proudly in sweltering July as In the
winter. His villages are small, iso-
lated and badly kept. His homes are
primitive. His fight for existence is
a bitter one. From his ranks are
recruited the workmen for the hard
est least-paying tasks of the empire"

WHEN YOUTH WAS GLORIOUS
MANY There Are Living Who Gould
Have Directed Mark Twain in His
Search for Material.

The adventures of "Sam" Clemens
and his comrades would fill several
books of the size of "Tom Sawyer"
Many of them are of course forgot
ten now, but those still remembered
show that Mark Twain had plenty Of
real material, writes Albert Bigelow
Paine in st. Nicholas. 1t was not
easy to get money in those days, and
the boys were often without it. Once
"Huck" Blankenship had the skin of
a coon he had captured, and offered
to sell it to raise capital. At Selm's
store on Wild Cat corner the COON
skin would bring ten cents. But this
was not enough. The boys thought
of a plan to make it bring more.
Selm's back window was open, and
the place where he kept his pelts was
pretty handy. Huok went around to
the front door and sold the skin for
ten cents to Selms, who tossed it
back on the pile. Then Huck came
back, and, after waiting a reasonable
time, crawled in the open window,
got the coonskin and sold it to Selms
again. The boys did this several
times that afternoon, and the capital
of the band grew. But at last John
Pierce, Salm's clerk, said: "Look
here, Mr.. Selms, there's something
wrong about this. That boy has been
selling us coonskins all the after.
noon" Selms went back to his pile
of pelts. There were several sheep.
skins, but only one coonskin-the
II he had that moment bought.
Selms himself, in after years, used to
tell this story as a great joke.

Box Elder Canon as a State Park.

Congressman Mondell is trying TO preserve for the benefit of the
public the famous Box Elder canon, in Converse county, and has in
troduced a bill authorizing the conveyance to the county of all lands
embraced in this wonnerful region, for park purposes. Mr. Mondell
is of the opinion that this plan would be more likely to succeed than
one attempting to create Il national park of the region. National
parks, because of the attendant expense to the government, are get
ting more and more difficult to secure. The Box Elder canon is one
of the most beautiful in the state, and the Yellowstone Highway runs
within a few miles of ii. With the region made into a park, good
roads could be constructed to it from the Yellowstone Highway, and
it would soon become a famous camping place for tourists.

Our calling our minister home and break with Germany may

there will be no hanging back on the part of the American people,

UNCOVERS GERMAN
PLOT TO START VAR
Evidence Found By Arrest-Card Call
ing Man to Army Bears Date of
July II, 1914.

New York, Oct. 22.-Conclusive evil
dence that Germany modified her forces
long before the date on which she admits
having done so has been obtained by the
arrest by department OF justice agents
of Christopher S. Sehnurrer, a graduate
of the University of Leipsic, having de-
grees in surgery and arts, it was an
nounced at Newark, n. j., Saturday. The
man was in hiding at Lake Hopatcong,
where he was working as laborer.
In Schnurrer's effects was found card
issued by the imperial German govern
ment directing him to report for military
duty ON July II, 1914, fortnight before
Germany started hostilities on the plea
that Russia was already modifying. Ger
many was obliged to admit that some of
her troops were on Belgian soil early in
August, but the Germans have insisted
that their mobilization did not begin un-
til the latter part of July, or when Rus
STA was found to be preparing herself.
Sehnurrer's card, according to the gov
agents, is conclusive proof that
before any effort was made on the part
of any nations at war except Germany.
