DEAN RUSSELL ON
JOHN BURROUGHS
Head of College of Agriculture De-
livers Address Before Fort
nightly Literary Club

Dean H. L. Russell, head of the
College of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin, Madison, at the opening
meeting of Fortnightly Literary club
Friday evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. E. Cole, delivered an ad-
dress on the naturalist, John Bur
rOughs The speaker said that Bur-
roughs was not a scientist but a
naturalist who saw nature as the
panorama is spread everywhere,
Burroughs was born in the state of
New York on April 8, 1897, and was
the only one of a family of ten chill
dren who had a taste for literature.
Even his mother did not read his pro-
ductiOns and a brother who lived with
him for many years probably never
pursued one of his charming volumes.
His interest in bird life was early
stimulated by chance visit at West
Point where he saw a portfolio of
Audubons magnificent delineations of
North American birds This exper-
fence kindled the fire that burned
steadily throughout his life.
For time he taught, had a position
in Washington, but later returned to
the soil and ever after lived clc~~
nature.
Life on the Hudson
The life of Burroughs on the Hudson
was narrated by the speaker, telling
of his love for the wild, how he
sought the secrets of nature and re-
vealed them through his charming
books. His work smacks of the open,
whether he treats of literary or nat
ural subjects. He had the idealism
of the poet, in fact he was more poet
than scientist.
Burroughs held the lower animals
come as near to reasoning as they
come to having language. He con-
lsidered them simple reactions to out
ward objects or inward wants.
The speaker closed with dealing
with the philosophy of the naturalist
a philosophy so broad that 1t included
the very highest conception of the
universe. His views are discussed in
'The Light Of Day." Leaf and Ten
drill" "The Breath of Life, and "Ac-
cepting the Universe" His close con-
tact with nature kept him in world
of reality rather than one of ideality.
The lessons that he teaches us start
ed with the grass of the field, the
bird in the bush, and then pushed
back into the realm of thought where
he found the supreme immanent in all.

Elroy Cop
In Mx-up

Night Policeman II. w. Smith, Ell
roy was badly beaten up one morning
early while on duty. We are nat ia
miliar enough with the facts to give
the details of the affair for in this,
as in every event, there seems to be
two stories. However it is alleged
that Mr. Smith had some alteration
with a party Of four, two men and two
women which progressed until fight
ensued in which the officer lost the
first round.
James Campbell OF Elroy was ar
rested for connection with the affair
and was released on bail.
Mr.. Smith is now able to sit up at

WILLIAM NJ LITTLE WRITES HE RECALLS MANY
NAMES MENTIONED BY @. D. BRANDENBURG TN
HIS ARTICLES--ANECDOTES OF CAMPAIGN DAYS

reminded me Of something that occur
red at Lodi during the presidential
campaign of 1872. That was very
hot campaign and Mr.. Smith came to
Lodi and gave very radical speech
for Horace Greeley. After the speech
some one jumped up and proposed
three cheers for General Grant and
they were given with a gusto. Mr..
Smith lost his patience and said,
why don't you cheer for the mean
est man in the country" Some one
jumped up and proposed three cheers
and a tiger for Geo. B. Smith and
they were given with even more vim
than the others. Mr.. Smith never lik-
ed Lodi as a place to lecture in after
that.
| read during that campaign par
ady on I want to be an angel. think
it was in an Albany, Wis. paper. The
first verse has always stayed in my
memory:
81 want to be liberal
And with the liberals stand,
A plaster on my sore-head
And tribune in my hand;
And there before my comrades
Who helped me in the fight
I'll vote. for Horace Greeley
And then sneak out of sight"

With the total value of the pro. duCte of Alaska imported to the United States. estimated at $2,S91,- S92, for the month of August this year, as shown by the monthly sum mary issued by John w. Troy. col lector of customs, there is evident decrease from Alaska exports from the same month last year amounting to A.416.734 This decrease is ac. counted for in two products alone, canned salmon and copper ore.

 One bright spot in the summary is the materially increased business through the port O. Nome with Si- beria. In August 1920 foreign goods exported to the states through AL aska was valued at approximately $60O0O which was largely made up .of Yukon territory products. For the same month this year the total value of foreign merchandise ex- ported to the states was S102966. composed principally of furs, whale. bone, ivory, walrus teeth. reindeer lawn. hair seal, etc, mainly passing through Nome from Siberia 4 sub. stantial gain was also shown i1 the movement of herring as compared to year ago, figures for August. 1921 being s194,76o as compared to $45 for year ago.
