YOSEMITE PARK
GETS TIMBER

Title to approximately 10000
acres of privately-owned timber
land in Yosmite National Park
was in possession of the Federal
Government today through the
generosity of John D. Rockefeller,
jr., who paid half of the pur-
chase price. The land cost the
Government approximately So
100000 and by special proclama-
tion of Congress last March 2,
about 7,725 acres Of the area
lying outside the boundary of the
park, were added to the park
proper.
The tract contains some of
the finest sugar and yellow pine
stands of the region and before
Rockefeller and several members
of the House, particularly Repre-
sentative Cramton R0, Micni
gan, initiated steps to preserve
the lands beauty, the timber was
slated for early numbering.
Requisition of the private hold
ings in Yosmite is but the first
big step in the avowed purpose
of Congress to eliminate, as
rapidly as possible, all private
ownership within National Park
boundaries" Secretary of the IN
terror Wilbur said. He explained,
however, that in all such pur-
chases the government can con-
tribute only half of the Cost; the
other half having to be donated.

NEW YORK, May 2S dNs).
President Hoover, by merely sign
ing a letter twice a day for a
year can earn a sum of money
greater than he receives as salary
as. the President of the United
States.
President Hoover's A. L. S.
tautograph letter signed is
worth over 500. He receives
$4,000 a year and two times
S65 times $100-"et VOLTA"
This is based on the statement
OF Thomas F. Madigan in his
recent book on the lure Of auto
graph collecting called, Word
Shadows of the Great" published
by Stokes. ...........
Madigan says of President
Hoover:
.Tt is too early to predict
what place Herbert HOOver'S
will occupy among presidential
autographs. Owing to his wide
spread activities and the many
important public positions he
has held, his autograph will be
moderately plentiful in all
forms. Thus far l have not
seen many A. L. S. There
seem TO be many typewriter
letters already on the market
however. His calligraphy
handwriting is graceful and
feEfble."
George Washington's A. L. S.
brings $3.50 and Abraham Lin
coins sells for about $3.50, ac-
cording" to Madigan. Theodore
Roosevelt's A. L. S. is proper
tionately cheaper, costing $50. as
he wrote over $4,000 letters dur
ing his very busy life.

Better Agricultural Year
is Forecast By Babson
HYDRAULIC RAM SET UP
IN 1885 STILL GOING

Hydraulic rams are an exception to
the old rule that cheap things are
apt to be expensive in the long run,
says A. G. Tyler, agricultural en-
gineer, University Farm. He bases
this assertion on his recent observa-
ton of several ram installations that
have been in constant use for from
35 to As years in group of farms
located along the Minnesota River,
south of Minneapolis.
A ram was put in use on the H. H.
Pond farm at Richfield in 1888, the
entire installation costing about SAP.
This ram is still delivering nearly a
gallon of water per minute to- the
second floor of the house and appears
fit to operate another As years, ac-
cording to Mr.. Tyler. Repairs have
averaged about Is cents a year.
There has never been well or pump
on the farm.
An arrangement of four rams,
three of which are in tandem, on the
Robert Pond farm at Richfield, is in
teresting. The first ram in this group
was installed A years ago. Later, as
more water was wanted, a second
ram was installed alongside the first,
and still later third ram was put in
SO as to utilize the waste water from
the first two. Finally fourth ram
was installed farther down the hill
to use the waste from the other three.
These rams all pump into common
tank from which water is forced to
the second floor of the house about
rs feet above the first two rams.
Another ingenious installation, on
the Fred Pond place at Shakopee,
uses the water from a flowing well
to operate ram located in the base
ment of the house.
In the immediate vicinity of the
first ram mentioned, Mr.. Tyler says,
there are perhaps a dozen other SIM
liar installations. Some of the rams
are raising the water nearly 100 feet
and in one case forcing it nearly
1000 feet horizontally. In all these
cases the water is pumped summer
and winter without interruption. The
operating cost is very small only a
few cents a year for new feathers
and occasionally a new valve. Mr..
Tyler adds that rams can be used
wherever there is a fall of two feet
or more and where flow of half a
gallon a minute is available. Anyone
writing Mr.. Tyler may secure inform
alton or advice on rams without
charge.

The Unbending omoOt.
(NeW York Times.)


 Everybody must admire the magnificent courage of Senator Shoot. He is willing to stand alone amid a wicked world in consistent defense of the true faith of high protection. Most of Americas great ndustrialists against him. Financiers diff fer with him Our leading authorities econ omics and government almost unanimous in holding that the Hawley-Smoot tariff was a mis- take in time, in rates and in effect. But none of these things Senator Shoot. Instead of ad- hitting for a moment that any of the tariff taxes are too high, he maintains that they not high enough. But for the increased rates, he argues, many would have been out of work today; and he apparently believes that if all the schedules had been acked up sufficiently prosperity would by this time have returned in full flood
 The Utah Senator is usually cold as icicle, but he grows quite hot in his impatence with those ignorant and short-sghted people who intimate that "the new tariff is retarding business recup eration." His specific reference plain. It was to the address of MT. Lamont before the Academy of Political Science on Friday He brought no rail- ing accusation against the tariff, contentng him. self with pointing out that it certainly inop- perfume at the time of it's enactment, and that it was not happy method" of inducing foreigners to buy more of goods while surely not making it easier for them to pay their governmental debts to Washington" But what seems to grieve Senator Shoot was MT Lamonts statement that had made recovery from business depression slower and more doubtful by hanging the load of a new tariff act around necks.' But he and those who think with him now given to under stand that they mighty lucky not to have that load made much heavier and are notified by Senator Shoot that he will make it soon all about handicap and believes that the American horse galloping back toward prosperity will win all the greater triumph by being made to stagger along under severe tariff impost

ReappOrti0nment and Prohibition
6NeW York World0

The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibi- urging that the system of reapportionment, ten years late in coming into effect be amended once more: this time to exclude aliens from the count which representation in Congress is based Unless this change is made the board believes that "n crisis in American history the issue may be determined by the representatives of aliens. |" Presumably such a crisis would be represented by a vote in Congress the question of amending the Volstead Act repeating the Eighteenth Amend ment
 The readiness of the leaders of the Prohibition movement to make loyalty to Prohibition supreme above all other and all other considerations has always been impressive In this case, the pro- posal made by the Methodist board is obviously in conflict with the Constitution: Article l, Section 2 of which requires that representation in Congress shall be based not on count of natlve-born cltl- zens of naturalized citizens but on the whole number of free persons" This provision of the Constitution the Methodist board would willingly ignore in it's desire to hold for the agrarian sec tons of the country the top-heavy representation in Congress which they enjoy.
 No doubt it this fanatical devotion to a single cause which enabled the leaders of the Pro- hibition movement to take full advantage of the extraordinary opportunity manufactured for them by the war. It is this fanaticism however which has turned sentiment against Prohibition in the postwar years and won many converts to the move ment for repeal.

HOOVER ON ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

In his recent message to Congress, President Hoover devoted some pointed paragraphs to the present distressing economic conditions which exist in all parts of the country with the exception of Alaska. Wisely he cautioned the Congress that
 Economc depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement." Temporary re- lief can from those agencies, but neither law nor fiat can bring about permanent settlement As he remarked Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body the producers and consumers themselves"
 It is evident therefore, he visions it to be the duty of Congress to enact such laws as will bridge over the gap until the natural healing agencies can affect cure Any legislation enacted is to make good the part of the Government in seeing as he phrased it. NO deserving person in our country suffers from hunger and cold"
 He further emphasized this view by saying: Oui immediate problem is the increase of employment for the next six months, and new plans which dc not produce such immediate result or which extend
