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.

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.

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

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?

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. What has omnlsciunep to
do with inero fucts?
