The bill was to have been "Salome," but was changed at Roosevelt's request. The papers today, for the first tlmo since his arrival, have not fea tured tho visit of the former presi dent. Tho election returns have crowded his name out of the papers. "I am deeply touched by tho many kind things you have said about me," declared Roosevelt, in answering an address made by M, Garron, presi dent of the municipal council, which gave a reception and luncheon at the city hall today in tho American's honor. "If I havo failed to live up to them In tho past, I will make special ef fort to fulfill them In the future. I have learned that there Is something besides .sightseeing for ah American In Paris." Roosevelt made his reply to M. Carron in"French. "You are a mau, and are France's faithful friend,' declared Carron in his address. "You proved this by your remarks on race suicide, for certainly ;France needs to follow your advice on this subject. "Paris would bo proud to have a Theodore Roosevelt among her citi zens," was another of Carron's tributes. Albans in Revolt. Ofla, Bulgaria, April 25.

That the head of Halley's comet Is much larger than was at 'first belloved, and that its tall has grown to 1 lengih of approximately 15,000,000 miles, Is the theory of tho scientists who aro observing tho wnnderer from the Carnegie observatory on Mount Wilson. While not advancing tho theory that tho comet's head, which is sur rounded by cyanogen gas, is grow ing larger "steadily, tho observers aro of tho opinion that such Is tho case. They suggest that tho expanding gas may bo responsible for this, al though they bollove the gas will ho compressed as tjie comet nears the earth. Tho comet Is vlslblo from the ob servatory for 40 minutes each morn ing, shortly beforo sunrise. Its color now appears to bo a palo yellow, blooding into greon in tho tail. THE SUBURBANITE'S DREAM. SETTLE Pacific Northwest to Be Scene of Activity in Secretary Wil son's Campaign for Settlers for National Forests. OREGON IS IDEAL LOCATION Campaign Inaugurated to Induce IIomcsQckers to Settlo in National Forests, Instead of Going Across tho Border to Canada Chief For ester Graves is on Ills Way to tho West. UNITED TOE3S LBASED WIBB.l Douver, Colo., April 25. Tho Pa clflc Northwest will bo tho sceno of tho greatest activity in tho campaign inaugurated by Secretary Wilson, through tho forest service, to induco American homeseekors to take up homesteads within the national for ests Instead of rushing across tho border Into Canada. This was tho opinion expressed today by Paul G. Redlhgton, assistant district forest er, who. makes his headquarters here, , . Colorado and the. Rocky mountain district will not be greatly affected by the campaign, Redlngton be i lloves, becauso tho supply of timber hero is limited and tho precipitation Is not great enough to admit of re duction, of tho forest area, which might seriously endanger protec tions of -tho water supply. Under an act of congress, passod Juno 1, 1906, tho secretary of agri culture is given authority to list for homesteader entry such lands with in natlqnal forests as are valuable for agricultural purposes providing tho deforestation of them does not Intcrforo with protection of the wa ter supply. Whon such lands are listed tho government sells tho tim ber on them at public auction and then turns them over to tho home steaders. The commutation clauso of tho regular homestead act, which permits aettlers to secure tltlo at the eiyl of 14 months of residence by tho payment of a small sum In cash, docs not apply to forest lands, how ever. According to advices from Wash ington, Socretary Wilson has under. taken to promote sottlomont in the West by calling attention to these forest reserve homesteads and with that end In view Chief Forester Graves has started on a trip throughout tho West. Tho heavy precipitation In Westorn Montana, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nor thern California makes thoso states tho Ideal location for working out -Berryman In Washington Star, tho homestead plan and It will bo la that territory that most of tho effort to secure settlers will bo applied. In tho Rocky mountain region, Ari zona, Now Mexico, .Utah, Nevada, Eastern Montana and South Dakota some land In tho forests fs open for aomestead ontry but not nearly so much as in tho states first named, according to Mr. Redlngton. "One impression I would Hko to correct, said tho assistant forester today, "'Is that tho forest servlco has retarded settlement in tho West. This impression has no foundation in fact. Since tho act of Juno-il, was passed more than 85,000 acres In Colorado forests alono have been homcstcaded, which means'that 800 families-havo boon brought, hero and given homes In tho last threo yearp. "Naturally tho settlers claims aro Investigated beforo tltlo 'is given them, but there is no such mass of rod tape connected with proving up on tho land as seems to bo tho gen oral belief. Thie Is proven, I think, by tho fact that a vast majority of tho claimants in this state havo se cured their titles without tho slight est trouble. "Whllo tho secretary's present campaign does not affect this dis trict as much ns it does a groat many Others wo will continue to pursue tho course wo havo always followed horo that of giving every bona fide homesceker all tho assist ance within our powor." a RECOVERING FROM THRILLING BALLOON RIDE UNITED I-KEHS LKABSD WIIUS.
