'I IOEW THROUGH CREWC Gradually nature's wonderlands in the United States aro being brought under government control and set apart as parks, reservations and mon uments for the ueo and enjoyment of this and future generations, so that what otherwise would be lost and ob literated as the years went on Is given a permanent character. The latest step In this direction Is the recent proclamation signed and madn public by President Roosevelt creating the Wheeler national monument, In tho Rio Grande National Forest, Colo rado. Tho tract Included by the proclama tion is situated on tho south slope and near tho summit of tho continental dlvldo at an elevation of approximate ly 11,500 feet above sea lovol. Tho principal value of tho land as a national monuniout lies In tho fact that the fantnstlc forms resulting from tho rupid 01031011 of rock nnd soil make tho spot ono of oxcoptlonal beauty. Tho numerous winding canyons, bro ken ridges, pinnacles and buttes form such striking and varied scenes that It will bo much visited by tourists when It has been made accessible by road or trail. 4wwiww For Inspection of Oyster Beds. ' Attention has recently been called In tho French press to tho menaco to public health fioin tho consumption of unhealthy oysters. Tho sub ject la also attracting notice in Bel gium, where tho Royal Society of Medlcino has taken the mutter up, and ; IN I Vl&il 'THROUGH CRSyC JMW Historical interest also attaches to the region as it Is believed that the ill-fated expedition of Gen. John C. Fremont was overtaken by disaster In this immediate vicinity and was forced to turn back. This expedition which proved so un fortunate was the fourth which Gen Fremont made across the continent, nnd was undertaken at his own ex pense after he had resigned from the army in 1S48. His object was the finding of a practicable passage ta CallTornln by way of the upper waters of the Rio Grande. With 33 men and 120 mules he made his way through the country of the Utes, Apaches, Co mancb.es and other tribes of Indians then at war with the United States. In attempting to cross the great Sierra, covered with snow, his guide lost his wayrand Gen. Fremont's party encountered horrible suffering from cold and hunger, a portion of them being driven to cannibalism. All of his animals and one-third of his men perished, and he was forced to retrace his steps to Santa Fe. And it Is supposed that It was in this spot which has been designated as tho Wheeler national monument that this terrible trago- ypyv through CA'sycs dy was enacted, and skeletons ol mulbs, bits of harness and camp equlpngo found there give credence to the belief. this learned body has passed n resolu tion to tho effect that oyster beds ought to bo subjected to special in spectlon, and that measures should be taken to icgulato the rolull sale of the (luh, and that all oystors ontoilng in to Belgium should undergo a rlgoroitf examination. !fefpy ,(t May Be Served In a Great Variety ol Attractive Shapes. Stir one teaspoonful butter, tho canto of sugar, and one-hair teaspoon ful salt Into one cupful hot mlik; when cool, add ono gill lively yeast, one-fourth cupful warm water, and enough Hour to make a stiff butter. Cover closely nnd stand In a warm place. When well risen, add enough Hour to mako a dough that can bo shaped with tho hands. Let ilso again, keeping well covered, nnd when light cut it down. When It again puffs up, turn out on a well-floured dough board, knead lightly, pat out a little with a rolling pin, spread the surface with butter; thon knead until no trace of tho but ter can be seen. Roll inter a sheet about one-third inch In thickness, cut out with a largo round cutter, then roll the two opposite edges over and over, stretching a llttlo as rolled, un til they meet. Wash over with melted butter, let rise, nnd bake. The shape of these rolls may be greatly varied. One attractive form Is made by pinching off tho dough, rolling into a ball with tho hands, and cutting through tho top horizontally and perpendicularly with a knife dipped in melted butter, which pre vents tho cuts closing.. Or tho dough may be i oiled into small oval shapes, about a linger long and tapering at each end, then Joined In pairs, the ends firmly picssed together. Another pleasing shape by way of a change, Is made by first cutting the dough into long stlps, then plaiting three of them together to form a braid; or tho strips may be formed Into rlngB and linked In pairs. USE SODA TO CLEAN SILVER. Task Then May Be Accomplished in a Short Time. Cleaning the entire stock of family silver has lost its terror since It has been discovered that It may be accom lrtished In a comparatively short time by the use of soda. Place over tho fire a clean tin dishpan half full of water; when it has reached the boil ing point throv in a handful of or dinary washing soda; put in all of the silver, boil ten minutes to loosen the tarnish, remove it and wash in hot, soapy water. Some of it may require a hasty scrub with moistened silver polish, and all or It will need the dry polish rubbed on with a flannel cloth. While this method may be safely employed for silver, It Is a dubious process for plated and oxidized ware, since the very purpose of it is the loosening of the surface coating, bo It dirt or plate. Sterling silver Is not lnjuied by it. To give silver the antique or satiny surface which Is again in vogue, rub it with old-fashioned bar sand. Ground corundum is not bar sand, although it often passes as such, and is to be avoided, having a sharp ness that may be detected under a microscope, and which Is much too rough for silver. Anise-Zwlebach. Beat whites of five eggs, add yolks, one-hair pound of sugar; stir 20 min utes (same direction always) to a cream. Add one heaping tablespoon of anise seed and half a pound of flour. Stir together a while. Rake In long, nanow tin, rounded bottom If possible, in moderate heat for about twenty minutes. When partly cooled cut in slices of three-quarters of an inch each and brown In oven. Rice Pudding, with Currants. Half a pound or rice nnd one-hair pound or currants. Wash the rice, tie it in a cloth, allowins room tor It to swell, and put into a saucepan of cold water; let it boll for nn hour, thon take It up, initio the cloth, stir In tho cunants and tie It up again tolerably tight, and put It Into tho water for the remainder or tho time. Roll for another hour, or rather longer, and serve with sweet sauce. French Omelet. Mix well together In a basin four wholo eggs, two good tublpspoonfuls of new milk, cream, or stock, ono and a half ounces of butter, u little salt and paprika, melt ono and a hall ounces of butter in nn omelet pan, then pour In tho mixture and fry for two or three minutes, 'stirring the mixture so that all of It may bo equal ly cooked, then toward tho end of the frying form It Into a hnlf-inoon shape, turn It out on to a hot-dish, and sorve quite hot as a bieakfaot, luncheon, oi second course dish. Potatoes Baked with Onions. Wash, peel and wipe a. dozen pota toes. Put thpm in a roosting tin or earthenware pan in which four ouncoa of buttor has been previously molted. Cut four largo peeled onions Into thin slices and put them over tho potatoes, season with popper and salt. Place them in a moderately hot oven, basting them frequently with tho hot fat, turning them occasionally bo that they become -uniformly browned. Thon drain them, dluli up nnd servo. joSil T T - I .l"-2 ilfeSil riiu - ''- r---iiiiL HIS PLEA NOT GOOD SCHWAB'S APPEAL FOR STEEL TARIFF UNREASONABLE. Opposition to Revision Based Upon Fu ture Needs Present Generation Has the Greater Right to Be Considered. The views expressed by Charles M. Schwab before the ways and means committee are susceptible of no other interpretation than that tho steel in dustry, If not exactly an Infant, Is in a transitional state and until It settles down to a Arm basis the tariff should remain as it is. This is contrary to a former expression of Mr. Schwab's mid directly opposed to the position of Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Schwab justifies the tariff by ex plaining that the open-hearth process of steel making Is succeeding the Bes semer process and that the Gorman electrical method will succeed all oth ers In a few years. These changes ne cessitate the introduction of new ma chinery and the abandonment of the old at practically a dead loss. In other words, protection high protection is essential not only to the fostering or an industry but to Its continued modernization, which Is, ot course, to say that a tariff Is always necessary and always will be. The strange thing about these new processes is that, while they produce better steel, they increase the cost ot tho product. It will be a distinct de parture in tarifT making ir an attempt Is made to anticipate such future needs. Tariffs, when honestly made, aro designed to fit existing conditions The Dingley law has had a longer life than any of its predecessors and It was long ago obsolete. Its most voluble friends, in acknowledging its antiquity, never fail to discuss the changed In dustrial conditions and assert apolo getically that It was a good law when passed and fitted the conditions which isted at that time. As for a revised tariff on steel, con gress need not concern Itself about the future. It is enough if it takes ac count of tho present. And the present Is tho time when the steel trust has perfected economies and reduced the cost of Its product so that it Is almost wllthout a rival In the maikets of the world where It sells steel at a much lower price than at home. There Is such a margin between the foreign and domestic prices of. Us products that fear or tho expense attendant on tlic introduction or new methods of manufacture may be dismissed. Tho present generation, which has contrib uted heavily to the success ot the steel Interests, feels that it Is timo It had some of tho benefit of the sacrifices it has made. Taft and the Panama Canal. Mr. Taft, accompanied by engineers nnd experts, is to visit Panama. Pre liminary statements nro to tho effect that tliero Is to bo nn admlnistrativo upheaval and there may be serious changes in tho plans. If thoro aro abuses and errors thoy should, of couro be corrected. But tho thoughtful citizen who reads of tho probablo and posslblo defects of various kinds will bo privileged to smile when ho recalls the extremely rosy reports of progress that havo been officially promulgated slnco Col. Goethals took charge of tho work, says the St. Louis Republic. Tho sugges tion that possibly things woro not as reported was met by ofllclal sneeia and threats of Ananlaslng woro held over those whoso skepticism led them to tako the reports us possibly too op timistic. A fuither announcement is that Mr. Taft will issumo tho personal direc tion of tho work nftcr ha has assumed ulhce. Mr. Taft knows a groat deal about tho canal and tho canal zono. Personal direction will Involve hard work on his part. Can it bo that ho knows so much about It that ho 1b un willing to trust tho work to another? 5Sr USE OF HARRIMAN'S MONEY. President Roosevelt Must Have Known How It -Was to Bo Spent. Four years ago In the last week of the campaign Kdward H. Harriman went to the White House at the im vitation of President Roosevelt to con fer about the political situation in New York. As a result of that conference Mr. Harriman returned to this city and Im mediately raised $260,000, which was turned over to the Republican national committee for use in this state. Mr. Harriman, in a subsequent letter to Sidney Webster, declared that as a result of the fund he raised, "at least 5u,000 votes were turned In the city or Nov Yoik alone, making a differ ence of 100,000 votes In the general re sult" This money In the last hours of tho campaign could not have been used for any legitimate purpose. Mr. Harri man did not pretend that It was used for a legitimate purpose. On the con trary, he took pride in the fact that 50,000 votes were changed, making a difference of 100,000 votes in the re sult. In other words, Mr. Harriman boasted that his campaign rund pur chased for tho Republican candidates 50,000 votes that otherwise would havo gone to the Democratic candidates. Whether or not Mr. Roosevelt had the slightest intention ot respecting the "moral obligation" to Harriman implied by this contribution ot $2G0, 000, he could not have been Ignorant of the purpose to which this money would be put. "You and 1 are practical men," said the president in one of his letters to Harriman. As a practical man and a practical politician Mr. Roosevelt knew there was only ono use for $200,000 at the end of a doubt ful campaign. Knowing all this he not only encour aged Harriman to raise the money, but led Harriman to believe that as a re ward he would be allowed to help shape the railroad policy of the ad ministration. New York World. People Demand Consideration. Tho plea of the trust barons is for a continuance of the present regime of high prices. It can be nothing else. For if it were not that, the interested Industries would not be begging for tariff favors. They are not begging for something which will do them no good, but for something which will do them a great deal of good. But it can only do this good by keeping up prices that is, by compelling the peo ple to pay the difference between tho cost of an article in the foreign mar ket and tho tariff-made price at home. The very presence of these men in Washington is an admission of every thing that has been charged namely, that protection does raise prices; that tho consumer pays the tax, and that tho question involved Is one of privil ege and not of right. There is not one representative of industiy who has asked for high protective taxes on tho ground that they would reduce prices. If these people thought that this would bo tho effect ot a high tariff thoy would turn tree traders to-morrow. Thoro Is, however, a right In the case, and that Is the right or tho people. Will Roosevelt Be Busy? In tho assertion that Mr. RoosovoK will bo exceedingly busy for a few weeks wo find room for exception. Tho cause of his unusual activity is given as the arduous tusk of preparing re ports for both the house and senate on the secrot-servlco resolutions nnd tho reply to tho Foraker resolution. If Mr. Roosovelt were In tho habit of dealing with such harsh and hard things as facts wo might agree with tho story. The collection and colIoca tlon of actual Information Is neither au agreeable nor an easy mattor. It requires patience, persistence and tho exertion of arduous effort. But Mr. Roosevelt ns a supremo fact hater will not bo hampored by cuch obtrusive and annoying features. Ho will tako his stenographer In hand nnd out of the depths of his rnncv dlctato reports which will bo mnrvols of homlletlcs.
