Across my window glass The moving shadows of the peo ple pass. Sometimes the shadows glide along the hall; Ana neighbors come, to call, Bringing a word or smile To cheer my loneliness a little while. But as I hear them talk. These people who can walk And go about the great green earth at will, I wonder if they know the joy of being still. And all alone with thoughts that soar afar High as the highest star. And oft I feel more free Than those who travel over land and sea. For one who Is shut in Away from all the outer strife and din. With faithful Jain for guide. Finds where Great Truths abide. Across my window glass The moving shadows pass.

But the importance of t-ie precedent Involved is as great us the iu-tuul is sue is small. The essential fact of the situation is that the company is attempting by appeal to congress to establish the right of water power companies generally to take and ,use fcr their own purposes what Nation al forest land they ilease in spite of the government and the courts. Hav ing attempted by subterfuge and de fiance to ,avold complying with the reasonable conditions imposed under the law by the government, and hav ing failed at all points on a state ment of the facts, this company is now endeavoring to got from the leg- branch of the government what the executive and Judicial branches have properly denied. There 'is nothing unusual or ex ceptional about this case, and noth ing to warrant special treatment. This company has been asked to do nothing that Is not required of all other companies under similar cir cumstances. If the Hydro-Electric company of California Is allowed the special privilege which this bill is de signed to give, other companies jvlll demand the same. It Is perfectly obvious that all the expense and burden of this contest has not been undertaken by this com pany merely to avoid a charge of $75 j a year. The underlying fact Is that ! if the company accepts a permit it recognizes and accepts the right of the government to exercise, in the public interest, a moderate control. If the bill basses the company will escape government control altogeth er. A precedent of enormous value t, the water power interests will thus he established, and the work ol controlling monopoly In water power will be checked and hampered accord ingly. There Is no reason whatever why the property of the people should be given to these companies unconditionally, forever, and for nothing, which is precisely what this bill proposes to do. did not take a hard surface street in preference to macadam. Jackson street is In position to pro fit by their misfortune, and from present Indications it will do so. If the progressive republicans do r.ot show more ability to get together upon a certain candidate and stay by him to the end the republican, nomi nation will 'be a gift to Taft. , 4 A CONSERVATIVE FIGHT. Gifford Pinchot, chief forester un der the Roosevelt administration, did valuable and patriotic work in bring ing on the conservation movement and thereby attracting public atten tion to the manner in which the re sources of the country were fast fall ing Into the hands of a few syndi cates. To Pinchot more than to any one else in the United States is due the credit for saving the coal of Al aska for the benefit of the public. In view of that service many peo ple will be glad to see him succeed in a fight the national conservation association is now waging to kill a t)ill to give a right of way through the Mono national forest to the Hydro-Electric company of Califor nia. As set forth in a statement from the conservation commission the facts are these: , For more than two years this com pany has been contesting the right o? the government to regulate in the public Interest the use of lands with in the National" Forests. In the face of the protest of local forest officers and entirely without permission from the government, the company dug it3 ditch across the National Forest lands concerned and had begun to lay its pipe line when It was stopped by a temporary restraining order. The chief contention of the com pany was that the location by It of fining claims, covering the land across which the pipe line was to be lcld, removed this land from the Jurisdiction of the government. These claims wer, evidently fraudulent. Af ter hearing testimony and oral argu ments from both sidss, the Master in Chancery, to whom the suit was re ferred by the court, in his report (October 17, 1909) recommending that a temporary injunction should be granted, said of the claims: "On the question of good faith of these mining locations, I have given the evidence and arguments of co.:n f;el the most careful consideration. I am entirely convinced that the great preponderance of evidence shows that they are nothing but pa ler claims, made with a view of ob taining a right of way for their pipe line across the forest reserve. Ir. my opinion, the seven claims men tioned are not valid mining locations at all." It may be added that the seven claims were sold to the company by their locators for $10 each, or $4 mor than the recording fees. Mining cialms at $4 each are not to be taken seriously. , On its face the question at issue is small, and doubtless was selected for that reason. It concerns the running of a pipe line a distance of only 3800 feet within a National Forest. The value of the land for National Forest purposes will not b seriously reduced THEY WAXT A GOOD STRE There Is evidence that a. very large number of the residents of Jackso.h street are ready to follow the leaV o Mayor Matlock and ask for '.jit-' surface paving on their thorougli,jire. Many have always wanted hard sur face paving and a sufficient number have come over to that way of think ing during the past few days that a test would no doubt show a ma jority to be favorable to the 'better class of work. This is a good situation for it would be unfortunate to have Jackson street macadamized unless far better results could be secured than were secured on East Court and West Al ta streets. Those are not excellent streets even in the summertime and in the winter they are but little better than the dirt streets. While he north siders are improv ing their street they should do It right. There are many living on west Alta and East Court who regret they If those Mexican insurrectos get over into the U. S. they may be dis armed and sent to the rock pile.

Slices off a thick wedge of his fortune and confers it upon some deserving institution. But it is. to be observed that Mr. Archibald always does the slicing. No one ever hurries up and takes money away from him. And when he is engage in a business undertaking he can figure costs and credits down to the ulti mate decimal. "I learned to do this in I.eesburg, Ohio, where I was born," said he to a friend. "I began my business life by clerking in a grocery store in Ohio. The wives of farmers would come in with eggs and butter and trade them for calico and sugar and other commodities. In those days there was no such thing as a one price rule. We got what we could and, as markets had not been sys tematized as they are now, and trans portation facilities were poor, we paid what we had to, and roughly tried to figure out a profit. One could not take' a slate and half an hour and do that figuring in the rear of the store, either. It had to be done right off the reel and convincingly. I've learn ed a lot of other things in business since then, but the best training I ever had was in thayiittle Ohio gro cery store. It taught me the value of absolute knowledge of the details or my business." Some one suggested that Mr. Ar fchbold probably laid the foundation 'of his fortune there. 1 "Let me tell you." said he, Impres sively.

The land-classification board of the United States Geological Survey is administered by a chairman and a general advisory committee, the lat ter made up of the chiefs of branch es, divisions and sections of the sur vey; whose field work supplies the greater part of the fundamental data that form the basis of the board's ac tion. Within the land-classification board are subordinate boards, each of which deals directly with one of the natural resources and certain public land problems related thereto. The number of these subordinate boards may be increased or diminisHed from time to time-as the exigences of the work require. At present there are subboards that deal with the classifi- y.i vh rhi The Kind You Have Always KouTlit, ami which Itns been In nso for over 80 years, has bovno tbe sljjnatara of n i - ami has be'en niacio iimler his pcr tJ; jCJ&ffiyhi r BOnal supervision sliWo Its infancy. af-f.

The fundamental purpose for which the board nnd subboards were creat ed is to carry out the mandate of the organic act of the geological survey, In which It is charged primarily with the classification of the public lands. This work of classification involves many questions as to procedure In public land matters, partly incidental to the classifications and partly the result of statutes recently enacted, in the administration of which certain responsibilities devolve upon the sur vey, either directly or in cooperation with other bureaus in the interior de partment. The board's activities have during the last year or. more been largely In creased, by certain cooperative agree ments with the general land office, by virtue of which the commissioner re-f quests information on the mineral or power value of lands for which pat ent Is asked, cither before or after examination by special agents. The office of Indian affairs likewise re fers to the geological survey lands listed for patent and lands which it is proposed to eiminate from the res ervations and throw open for settle ment, in order that the mineral or non-mineral character or the power value of the lands affected may be determined. Proposed eliminations from national forests are likewise re ferred for report as to mineral char acter and power value, and all Carey Act lists are submitted to the geologi cal survey for a statement as to the sufficiency of the proposed plan of irrigation before the lists are approv ed for sebregation.
