ANTLCANTEEN LAW HURTS Commander of Department of Colo rado Finds Discipline Snffers. WASHINGTON, Sept 16. Brigadier General Frank D. Baldwin, commanding the Department of Colorado, in his annual report, urges the re-establishment of the Army canteen, "under proper re strictions, and says: i "I have been deeply impressed by the very marked ainerence in discipline ana general contentment among the enlisted men since the abolition of the canteen feature- of the post exchange. If men are un able to get a glass of beer In a decent and orderly manner in the garrison, they will resort to the vile brothels which cluster around the borders of the reservation, ' where they drink all manner of alcoholic beverages and often sink into debauchery and ruin." The repprt says the present system of confining military convicts In post guard houses Is demoralizing in many respects, necessitating the placing of recruits con fined for military offenses with men of long guardhouse records and with crimi nals. For long-term men, a return to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth or other similar institutions is urged. Recommendation is made that the course of study in officers' schools be rearranged, so all subjects pursued In any school In the army be fully completed in that year. In reference to the award of medals to successful competitors at various compe tltiond in small arms practice, General Baldwin recommends the abolishment of the system and the substitution of an In crease In the soldiers' monthly pay, he says, will tend to increase Interest In the competitions. General Baldwin speaks of the necessity for good military music as conducive to the contentment and efficiency of the sol dier, and recommends larger bands and a 50 per cent increase In the pay of musi cians.

Four men were arrested, and according to the police, one of them Is "Monk" Easman. They say that it was a meet ing of members of the "Paul Kelly" gang, and the "Monk" Eastman gang that caused the trouble, in which policemen were shot at, and for which the reserves of three police stations had to be called out The police believe the trouble started over the shooting of Dave Bernstein, an East Side saloon-keeper, some months ago. Several men were arrested for the shooting at the time, but accused and ac cuser were equally noncommittal, saying that they would "get square" in their own way at some future date.

The Orer gon State Woolgrowers' Association closed its annual session this evening. During the day President Belt presented two petitions to Congress, one asking for enactment of a law governing he use of shoddy, the other relating to a Govern ment census on the livestock Industry. Both were signed by all persons present A paper by Dr. James Wlthycombe, of CorvalHs Agricultural College, on "The Inevitable Evolution of Sheep Husbandry in Range Districts," was read by Secre tary Gwlnn. It was an- able document highly appreciated. R, B. Wilson, of the Burlington road of Portland, made an address on the shipping of lambs to market His remarks were supplemented by Charles F.

All the old officers were re-elected. Messrs. Ayre of Baker, Cunningham of Umatilla, Young of Wasco and La Fol lett of Crook were elected delegates to the National Association meeting in Portland January 11. Congressman Williams, who was here in attendance on the Woolgrowers Associa tion and who left for home tonight, said that while forest reserves that are forest reserves and not sage brush lands, are all right and proper, the people of Oregon had not asked for the miscellaneous withdrawals of land being made. "Who is doing this reserve business, and for what purpose?" He said the only object In Orejrcn. where the rainfall makes the forest, not forest the rainfall, was to keep the timber out of the hands of the trust speculators In the East, but the people of Oregon should be consulted and their lanus should not be taken away by the wholesale In sage brush plains. He added that settlers and people were leaving Central Oregon on that account and the Mnrnn,i nnmnanlps had stoDoed bulldlnjr extensions there because of this unfavor able condition. Pnper by Dr. Withycombe. The paper by Dr. Wlthycombe, of the Oregon Agricultural College, Is In part as follows: Thirty years 4 have wrought great changes in sheep husbandry on the pub lic ranees of this state. But the next 30 years will witness greater changes. It must be admitted that in the -earlier days ) of range husbandry, there was grass in plenty for all comers. Who then neara or a range war? Or who thought then that the thousands, yes, millions of acres of luxuriant grass would disappear in less ,than three decades of time? This has happened, but at what cost to. sheepmen? It seems not at great cost, for there is perhaps a greater number of sheep on the range today than ever before. We see then that despite the denudation of large range areas, our flocks have multiplied. This has been made possible through methodical evolution. In pioneer days of the Industry, but little, if any, effort was made to supplement the ranges with do mestic forage plants. In these later days large areas of reclaimed land are utilized for the production of forage. This is capable of being extended until the production of feed may reach mam moth proportions. Herein perhaps lies the greatest factor in the evolutionary prog ress of the industry. This practice of uti lizing available lands for more Intensified systems of crop production will gradually become more general. When these sys tems re better understood by sheepmen, , radical changes in the handling and mar- , ketlng of sheep will be in evidence- Wool will be made subsidiary to mutton, or at j least mutton will be made fully para- j mount In value to wool. Instead of hun- dreds of thousands of sheep being offered for sale at seasons when markets are congested and values demoralized, they will be held to be finished for the block and offered when the supply of good mutton is unequal to the demand. This will be found to be practicable for there are large bodies of fertile land contiguous to the ranges, whereon profitable crops of cereals and roots can be grown. These will be usod as supplementary feed with alfalfa and other hays. The ne cessity of succulent food will .not be so great as In many other agricultural dis tricts, as the climate Is Ideal for the curing of the very best quality of hay. These choice hays with a small supple mentary feed of grain will put an excel lent finish on sheep. If roots, such as the mangel-wurzel can be economically pro duced, they are excellent for maintaining a healthy condition of the animal, as well as for producing a superior quality of ' mutton. The subject of growing a variety of sup- , plementary feed on the farm in connec- ; tlon with range husbandry, has received but little thought from many sheepmen. There are perhaps greater opportunities than will at first appear to the casual ob server. Alfalfa will grow everywhere when sufficient moisture is supplied. This Is the ideal general-purpose hay, but for putting a first-class finish on sheep, a more carbonaceous feed should be com bined with It This can be found in the beardless barley, 'a cereal that flourishes In the cultlvatable soils in range districts, A small supplementary feed of this bar- ley, cut when In the dough stage, will be n, rnv oPalaJaband ""j0"3 a,ndl will make a splendid combination with . nlfnlfR hnv fr flnD,ir. ,w Yh block. It is along these lines of more Inten sified methods of handling the range flocks that the future prosperity of the indus try will rest Even with the diminlsh ment of the productiveness of the open range, the development of better systems of crop production, will maintain the in dustry upon its present scale. There Is no doubt as .to the future prosperity of the industry if rightly handled, ijhe consum- ers of both mutton and wool are increas ing more rapidly than the flocks of . the world are multiplying. If it ware not for the general use of wool substitutes, the price of wool would be much higher than It is at present The future of range husbandry seems bright for the flockmaster. There are many avenues through which he can reach suc cess. His wool-bearing sheep are also the popular size for mutton. There seems to be no incompatibility between a good fleece and a popular carcass. Hence, when range sheep are properly fattened they will command a premium ir the market The range ewe crossed with a mutton sire will produce a market lamb that cannot be excelled, and there will be an Immense trade In these range lambs some day. When modern packing plants shall be es tablished at accessible points. Incredible numbers of these lambs will be slaugh tered and forwarded In refrigerator cars to the great cities of the continent They will not be shipped alive to suffer the1 tor tures incident to a 1000 or 2000-mile trip. There will be but few old wethers, or aged ewes to be disposed of at nominal values. The wethers will be largely disposed of as lambs and the draft ewe will be fattened and rushed to market as soon as possible after her lamb has been marketed and before the great supply of grass-fed mut ton Is available. Thus the flocks will be kept rapidly changing, yielding maximum returns both for mutton and wool. The great, bulk of the range flocks will be young ewes, wnicn at maturity, vwu yield a double return in the form of wool arid offspring, xnese are tne evuiu- (SpecIal.)-Mlss L. Floy Kesson, who has recently been elected to the princlpalshlp of the Con servatory of Music of McMlnn vllle College, was born at Byron, Minn., where she finished her education in reed organ music In 1S94. Thereafter she completed the regular musical course of the Conservatory of Pillsbury Academy at Owatonna, Minn., graduating from the instru mental department and finishing the teachers' vocal course in 1901. After completing a post graduate course in vocal music under Miss Morehous at the Northwestern Conservatory, Minneapolis, November, 1902, she opened a studio at Elgin, .

Since accepting the position just mentioned she has studied voice culture and harmony with Wlllard Patten, one of the most eminent teachers and composers In Minnesota. Miss Kesson brings with her the very highest commendations. tlonary developments predicted. The In dustry will not suffer an appreciable re duction of Its magnitude, but better systems will bring a larger revenue per capita from its flocks. There are, In the 'opinion of the flock master, discouraging features In the pres ent status of the Industry. These perhaps are more Imaginary than real. The prob- lem of grazing rights In the public domain' is gravely agitating the minds of many sheepmen. Forest and other Government reserves are regarded by many as seri ously menacing the future of the Industry. These reserves, however, may prove a blessing In disguise. There Is remote dan ger that the zeal of the scientist to do something for posterity, may warp his judgment In the main the principal ob ject for which these reserves are estab lished Is sound. Government control of the pasturing of these reserves does not nec- essarily mean the abridgement of the rights of sheepmen, . but rather the Judicious control of their pasturage assures the perpetuity of range husbandry. It is neither a wise nor sound policy for sheep- men to antagonize this movement. They should, however, present through organi zation an united front In opposition to the theory that sheep should be excluded from these reserves. The theories as to the damage wrought by our flocks on conifer ous forests are the delusions of Imprac tical scientists, or those who are Incom petent to express an opinion on the sub ject ASK ROOSEVELT TO OUST Electrical Workers Make War on Bookbinder in Government OfQce.

The earthquake felt at this place last Friday afternoon was no doubt caused by a disturbance at Mount St Helens. John Lewis, of Olequa, who recently returned from the mountains, says that there Is fire smouldering beneath the surface of St Helens and that at one particular spot on the mountain the rock Is too hot to allow the hand to touch it without causing a burn, and that a hissing noise can be plainly heard and steam issuing from a small fissure. On Friday at the hour when the slight shock was felt here several parties were near the summit of St Helens and so severe was the shock that they were thrown to their knees, rocks were hurled in different directions and the trees .swayed to and fro as if In a hurricane. It Is the opinion of many who have re cently visited St. Helens that the old mountain will at an carly date become, a very active volcano. NORTHWEST DEAD. Alvln Manring. GARFIELD. .Wash., Sept 16.

Fanciful Death. New York Press. Deadly as was the lightning stroke that killed young Percy Barrows In Crotona Park on last Saturday afternoon. It played a strange prank in that one moment. The revelation of that grim freak of fancy was made yesterday at the autopsy held by Coroner O'Gorman. The skin on the lad's left side was white, unburned. unblacked without any mark, indeed, save In one spot. There, near the neart, the bolt had printed a maidenhair fern, down to the minuttst shading away and with a perfec tion of outline that even the most skilled of photographers would find It difficult to equal. Symbolical of lnnlcence. of all the fine freshness of youth, that fern Im age was the sale mark of death. Light ning has made strange transfers to hu man bodies many a time, but nearly al ways of nearby objects. What makes this latest freak peculiar is that there Is not a fern within a rod In any direction from the tree under which Barrows was stand ing when he was struck. Sdme persons who vle"d the lad's body yesterday formed the fantastic Idea that the light ning had picked up the Impression many miles away, perhaps, to place it at last as a seal unon its victim.

How many men and women are suf fering; from a debilitating illness for which doctors can find no satisfactory explanation and which ordinary medi cines fail to cure. A recommendation of a. change of air Is often the result of fruitless experimenting. Many, how ever, are not able to follow such advice, and others, unfortunately, find no benefit after all their expense and trou ble. This, for a long time, was the ex perience of Mrs. George Allaire, of No. 4 Knox street, Worcester, Mass. She says: "I was so greatly run down in health that the doctor who was attending me said I would never get well. I was wretchedly III," she continued; "I had lost so much flesh that I was little more than skin and bones, and I was ghastly white. I couldn't eat nor sleep, couldn't work In fact, was so weak that I spent more days in bed than.,1 did out of it. I suffered considerable pain in the re gion of my liver, my stomach was out of order, and I was so miserable that I began to think the doctor was right.
