and extended through the last coach,
when the Southern Railroad put
its new streamlined THE Southern
er" on display at Union Station this
morning. Furthermore, the line was
continuing throughout as Washing
ton train-sophisticates and just
plain curious folks inspected the
new Diesel-powered train. You have
until 8 o'clock tonight to see it.
The new train has a stainless
steel exterior, and emphasizes blue,
beige and green in interior decora-
tionS. Its seven cars are appropri-
ately named for seven Southern

North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi. 1t is one
of three units that will go into
service between New York and New
Orleans via Washington Tuesday.
One of the first persons In line
this morning was Representative

the cab and posed for pictures and
greeted railroad officials. He found

Robert Frost Sees Capital Now
More Tolerant Toward Poets

More than 500 persons who over
flowed Coolidge auditorium in the
Congressional Library heard Mr..
FroSt'S discussion of the role Of a
poet in a democracy. Several hun
dred others were turned away.
The poet also delivered an open
lecture today, under the sponsor
ship of the Committee Of Nom
Resident Lectures, in the Agricul-
ture auditorium at the University
of Maryland.
He identified a conservative as a
person who says he won't do what
he's just about to do" Then he
declared that ''the government of
which I dream is going to refuse to
take its own advantage, just as I
hope to see the common man refuse
to seek his own advantage, as was
expected only of gentlemen in the
old days" .
Mr.. Frost read a number of his
poems. When he had completed his
discussion, such a volume of ap-
plause followed that he returned
to the platform and gave four more
readings.

Robert Frost, Pulitzer prize win
ner and outstanding American poet.
said here last night, in his Gus
tomary ironic tone, that washington
in the last few years has become
more tolerant toward poets and
named Vice President Wallace as
the person who had convinced him
of the change.
His reference to the Capitals
aversion to poetry followed his in
PRODUCTION by Archibald MacLeish,
librarian of Congress, who recalled
that Mrs. Eugene Meyer, co-sponsor
with the Library of Congress in the
series of discussions by leading
American poets, had been afraid at
the start that residents would not
patronize such program.
The poet recalled that five or six
years ago he came to Washington
with the same feeling that writers
of poetry were not popular here.
While on that visit, he related, he
had lunch with member of the
administration, now the Vice Presi-
dent. and that for two hours the
affairs of the Republic were laid
aside while they talked Of poetry.

Walton League Hears
Page Explain Efforts
To Build Up Stocks
29 Reservoirs Set Aside
As Wild Life Refugees,
Convention Is Told

How the Government is helping to
build up fish and game stocks on
vast land and water development
projects of the West was explained
today to the Izaak Walton League
In annual session here by John C..
Page, commissioner of the Bureau
of Reclamation.
Mr.. Page told more than 200
sportsmen and conservationists at
tending the leagues 18th annual
convention that irrigation con-
struction has converted more than
100000 acres of nearly worthless
desert land, where once a jack rab-
bit could hardly exc out a living,
into livable habitat for wildlife."
He explained that 90 reservoirs on
reclamation projects have been set
aside as wildlife refugees by execu-
tive order and that additional ha-
vens will be created as reclamation
projects are extended.
Grand Coulee Program.
"At Grand Coulee Dam, whose
hydroelectric power plant began op-
Grafton last week." Mr.. Page said,
a sweeping program was launched
by the bureau for the conservation
of migratory salmon and steelhead
trout of the Columbia River.
"The Fish and Wildlife Service is
cooperating in carrying out the
greatest single INSTRUMENTATION
scheme ever undertaken. Thousands
of big salmon and trout are being
trapped and tranSplanted for spawn
ing to tributaries of the Columbia
below the dam. Hatcheries have
been built and 2,500-foot tunnel
driven through a spur of the Cas-
cades to provide cold water for hold
Ing ponds and the hatchery"
The league was warned yesterday
by Seth Gordon, executive director
of the Pennsylvania Game Commits
sion, that wildlife refugees of "enor-
nous size" defeat their own purpose.
Small Areas Urged.
Speaking at the Fish and Wildlife
Services Patuxent experiment sta
ton, Mr.. Gordon told delegates that
protected areas should not be large
enough to enable birds and man.
mails to spend their entire lives
within the refugees.
The protected areas, he said,
should be designed for harboring
and increasing wildlife "for the
benefit of the surrounding terri
tories" In the far West large
refugees usually are necessary, Mr..
Gordon said, but in the Midwest and
the East comparatively small pro-
tected areas serve the purpose
equally we'll"
DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson, director of
the Fish and Wildlife Service, de-
scribed beneficial" results attained
through laboratory tests at Patux-
ent, the Federal Governments first

penchant for telling current hap-l

gave him field almost to himself

To keep pace with the demand
for new hill billy songs. he turned
them out so rapidly that he became

which he telephoned from Menu

not 70 be done out Of his resolve to

IN the operation Of the Coliseum, a

When Calgary decided to launch a

Weinard TO break in eight yoke of
LonghornS specially imported from

cattle baron. AT the Winnipeg stam-
pede, which did not survive many
years, he was given full charge of the
Indians.

Changes Considered
In Hail Insurance

The state hail insurance board has
proposed several changes in coveraee
and premiums designed TO offer Mon
tana grain farmers better service.
The proposals will be submitted to
state farm groups in time to deter
mine their attitudes before the legis-
lature conyenes in 1913. Chairman Z.
K. Bowman said
One proposal would raise the mini
mum allowable loss from to 10 per-
cent, thus eliminating great number
OF small loss claims and saving about
$40 for each claim requiring investi-
cation.
The board also proposed giving
farmers with 81 percent or greater loss
the full payment for 100 percent loss.
A third proposal would provide for
lowering premium rates on farms
where machines other than combines
are used in harvesting The chairman
said records of the board showed that
losses were much greater when COM
binrs were used, because harvest Is
delayed longer and the grain skaters
more easily when it is ready for COM
bining.

They buried Phil weinard in the
picturesque Salmon Arm country. in
British Columbia's interior, and thus
ended the picturesque career Of an
adventurous frontiersman who was a
friend Of both red man and white.
He was a pal of Charlie Russell.
famed cowboy artist, and he counted
as his personal friends, Two Moons,
chief Of the Cheyennes. and Rain-in-
the-Face, famed Sioux warrior.
He knew the Indians intimately and
spoke Blackfeet like a native. In the
Little Rockies he met the characters
who later made history on the Cana
dian plains-Big Bear, Poundkeeper,
Piapot. Louis Riel and his lieutenant,
Gabriel Dumont.
Weinard was born in 1868 in little
town on the Rhine in Germany. He
was old enough to remember the des-
cent of Won Moltkes legions into
France and at play in the chestnut
groves heard the far guns of Sedan
sealing the doom of Napoleon,s second
empire.
Shortly after the close of the Franco
Prussian war, the family moved to
America, settling in Minnesota. Young
Phil did not stay there long, however
The lure of the wide, open spaces
carried him into Montana territory
His life in those eventful years was
crowded with adventure - steamboat
ing on the Missouri, riding the range,
bullwhacking on freight outfits from
Fort Benton into the Canadian coun-
try, and mingling generally with buff
falo hunters, whisky traders. soldiers,
gamblers, prospectors and Indians.
Weinard lived in Helena for some
time in the early days and knew many
of the interesting personalities of those
days -"Calamity Jane" the carp
brothers, Harry Longabaugh, Chicago
Jo' and others. In Helena he became
well acquainted with Charlie Russell,
and the proud owner of a number of
his very early sketches. 1t was with
Russell and a character named Long
Green" that Weinard headed north
into Canada in 1882 Russell soon went
back to Montana but Weinard re-
manned and worked on the main line
of the Canadian Pacific railway.
He packed supplies to Major Rogers
in that great engineers epic search
for the right of way that would even
tually carry the c. P. r. over the Sell
kinks, through the pass that bears
his name to this day.
In 1898, when news of the Klondyke
gold rush reached his ears, the rest
less Weinard determined to get in
