any more chcikens until the dealers
ease the practice of forcing them to pay
for extra useless weight by stuffing ihe
crops ot the fowls with sand and gravel.
As the retail dealers of the whole eity

this means that chicken, as an article
ot food, is temporarily at least absent
irom the city's bill of fare. It is esti
mated that the profits of the receivers
from the extra weight they obtain by
sand and gravel feeding amount to $2,
000.0000 or more every year. It used
to be customary to feed chickens that
were received here frem the west all
ilie coni they could eat. But that meth

any profit in it, the jobbers say. So
the receivers adopted this scheme: The
night before the chickens were to be un

for and came only to establish c lasting
peace between the two republics; that
they could not desist till that peace
was assured, using every reasonable ar
gument to induce the Mexican authori
ties to comply to that end. After the
renewal of hostilities, the winner or
peace was continually held aloft. The
American soldiers admitted that the
Mexican soldiers fought bravely, but
criticized the ability of their officers.
France Warned Off.
It was through the good offices of
the United States that France was
forced to abandon its plan of taking
over Mexico. Secretary Seward on
the 16th of December. 18S5. sent the
following to the United States ambassa
dor at Paris:
"It is the president s purpose that
France should be respectfully informed
upon two points, namely:
First That the United States earn
estly desires to continue and cultivate
sincere friendship for France.
"Second That this policy would be
brought into jeopardy, unless France
could deem it consistent with her In
terest and honor to dtfelst from the
prosecution of armed intervention in
Mexico to overthrow the republican
government existing there, and to es
tablish upon its ruins the foreign mon
archy which has been attempted in the
capital of that country. We should
think it wrong, as well as unwise, on
the part of the United States to attempt
to subvert by force monarchial govern
ments in Europe, for the purpose of re
placing them with republican institutions.
It seems to us equally objectionable
in vrewht- As there are about 4UVU
hens to a carload, it was not unusual
for the weight of the whole carload to be
increased 3500 pounds. In dollars and J
rents that meant over $500 extra profit
to every car. Dealers throughout the
ritv claim that all of their profits have
been eaten up by the shrinkage in
v eight of the chickens they bought from
the receivers.
Brooklyn Bridge Fools Them.
With no more ceremony than the fly
ing of two flags from its towers, Brook
hn bridge, the first to span the East
mer, is quietly celebrating its 30th
birthday this month. This first of New
orks mighty bridges took 13 years
to complete. The work on it began in
1S70 and it was not until May, 1883,
that it was opened to traffic. The cost
to date is placed at 322,400,000. At
various times, notably some six or eight
ears ago, it has been said that the
bridge was on its last legs and that it
was only a matter of luck whether or
in borne rush hour, carrying 100,000 or
not it would collapse into the East river
t-o of human beings with it. In spite ol
all this the bridge is Still in commission
and in first class shape. The bridge
lias earned 823 224,000 in its 30 years,
or about $800 00 more than its esti
mated -cost to date.
Child Life Tenure Is Lengthened.
That the youth in this city has a bet
ter chance for long life than it did 25
ears ago, while the mature person has
a poorer one, are the apparently contra
dictorv statements emanating from the
latest" vital statistics. A child under 5
a ears of age at present may reasonably
look forward to a life of 52 years, while
31 voars ago a child of that age could
e; ect to live only 41 years, according
stitutions, and replace them with mon
archies or empires.
2Vapelea Takes the Hint.
"Having thus frankly stated our po
sition, I leave the question for the
consideration of France. sincerely
hoping that that great nation may find
it campatible with its best interests
and high honor to withdraw from the
aggressive attitude in Mexico, within
some convenient and reasonable time,
and thus leave that country to the
free enjoyment of the system of repub
lican government they have established
for themselves, and of their adhesion
to which they have given what seems
to the United States to be decisive and
conclusive, as well as touching proofs."
Although the above letter was care
fully and politely written, it had no
uncertain cr idle meaning, of which
none knew better than Napoleon. An
'army under Gen. Sheridan was sent to
the east panic or. tne itio urande, to
await-development of negotiations. This
army was known to Napoleon. Mr.
Seward was firm in his decision that
the French soldiers should evacuate
Mexico on the 11th of March. 1867, al
though Napoleon had endeavored to
have it postponed until the following
November. In answer to this. Napo
leon's ambassador was informed that
"the government of the United States
would expect a satisfactory answer, in
tne meantime a military force of ob
servation would await the president's
direction." The meaning of this lan
guage was understood in Paris.

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, in alluding to
the situation of affairs in Mexico,

First Forest Reserves.
It was in 1891 that president Cleve
land authorized the first national for
est reserves which were made in what
was then Washington territory. Since
then, they have been increased to In
clude reservations in 20 states and ter
ritories, amounting to 163.743,443 acres.
In addition to these there are 23,748,850
acres in Alaska and 65,950 in Porto
Rico. For the administration, -protection
and Improving of these great
areas of forest lands, the United States
government last year expended the sum
of 35,530.219.55 out of the 36,540.861.31
of available appropriations for that
purpose, or less than 3 cents per acre.
The total amount of lumber now stand
ing in the national forests is nearly
600.000,000.000 feet board measure. The
sales of timber from the national for
ests amounted to almost 31,000,000 rev
enue last year, an increase of over 10
percent from the year preceding, and
these forests are becoming. more valu
able each year.
In addition to the national forests
are those in the different states which
are administered by each state accord
ing to) Its own discretion. The increase
of these state reserves and the estab
lishment of a better system of caring
for those which have already been made
is securing the hearty efforts of pro
gressive citizens in every locality. For
some reason women have been more
active than men in wocklng for for
estry legislation. In some states the
entire movement for a forestry depart
ment has been initiated by the women,
especially organized women. The vil
lage improvement clubs in the smaller
towns have brought the forestry move
ment home to the citizens in a prac
tical manner which they could easily
understand.
Referestratlen Work.
In localities where the native trees
have been destroyed, either from lack
of care upon the part of the owners of
the land or because of the greed of the
lumbermen, the reforestratlon work

defective administration and just criti

It appears that the department's
practice has been to base its state
ments of the cost of the service upon
payments made during ""the year as
shown by the accounts settled by the
auditor for the postoffice department,
irrespective of the years in which the
obligations were incurred. In this
connection the report says:
"Notwithstanding the great zeal dis
played in the effort to place the de
partment on the socalled paying basis
and the resultant injuries to the ser
vice, the claim of the former post
master general that the service actual
ly yielded1 a profit in 1911 has no foun
dation in fact, as Is shown herein.
"It is to be further noted that the bal
ance sheet as heretofore prepared con
cerned itself entirely with the reve
nues from postage and the operations
of the department and expenditures
under the appropriation for the service
of the postoffice department. In ad
dition to this, the department should be
able to make a complete statement of its
financial status, which should include
the administrative expenses of the de
partment, the expenses of the audi
tor's office, and a fair charge for the
maintenance of federal buildings used
exclusively or in part for postoffice
purposes as items of cost. It has not
been the custom to include these in
the balance sheet. Furthermore, due
credit should be given the department
for the service performed In handling
and carrying franked and penalty
mails."
The report declares that the failure
to fill vacancies in the latter part of
1910 and during 1911 was not justi
fied, and goes on to say that 'instead
of making deserved promotions, a con
siderable number of transfers from
other departments were made, at sal
aries in excess of the entrance grade.

postoffice department."
Certificates Mystified.
It la further stated that "in ordsr
to effect these transfers the postmaster
general certified in each case where
the transfer was at a salary in excess
more than 40 years old is diminishing.
That is. the tale prepared in 1882
showed that a man at 40 years of age
could reasonably expect to live 221-2
vears more, while the tale now issued
shows that a man at 40 may expect to
live onlv 22 years and one month. From
40 vears on there is a constantly increas
ing diminution of the expectancy of life
as compared with the statistics of 31
years ago.

his explorations and on his great
fledge expedition across the Greenland
continent, sharing with him in the
honor of deciding the question of the
ixistence of the "Peary channel."
Vhen Peary made his discoveries at
the northern end of Greenland during
his voyages in 1891-92 and 1893
1S95. and when he explored Indepen
dence bay. which stretched from east
to west, he was inclined to believe that
the bay continued farther westward and
terminated its course in the supposed
"Peary channel." He baptized the final
point of his attainment Navy cliff. East
of this promontory a huge glacier, the
"Academy." projected into the sound.
During his voyage of 1898-1902 Peary
reached the northern point of Peary
land In latitude 83.39, which was the
limit of Greenland proper. He and most
of the Polar explorers who followed
him believed Pearr land to be an Is
land separated from the continent by
Independence bay and "Peary chan
nel." Some doubt still existed as to this,
and other explorers "made efforts to
determine the facts. Mr. Koch, of the
Danish expedition, reached Cape Bridg

MARK GIBSON.
If the
ground could have its original crop of
lorest trees restored, it might after a
term of years, become productive of
larger revenues than could be secured
from any other crop, since trees were
the natural product of that soil.
When the first forest protective
measures were adopted by the United
States government, they were severely
opposed by most classes of people. Only
a few were able to understand that
they were needed for the protection, of
the people themselves. Now lumber
men, mine owners and other repre
sentatives of large industries, depend
ent upon the natural resources of the
country, are nearly all cooperating with
the government in the enforcement of
every protective measure.
One of the largest gold mining com
panies in the world, located in South
Dakota, at first vigorously resisted the
attempts of government forest officials
to limit the amount of timber they cut
down each year. A small part of this
timber was used in the construction
work of the plant, but the bulk of it
was allowed to waste. An official of
this company recently visited the for
estry department headquarters in
Washington and said: "I want to thank
you for the benefit your -work has been
to us. But for the restrictions you
placed upon us 10 years ago we might
now be facing the necessity of having
to buy lumber and ship It In for the
use of our plant. With the system of
conserving the timber we have upon
our own ground we know that we will
have sufficient to last us for cen
turies." Fire the Greatest Menace.
One of the greatest menaces to for
est reserves is that of fire, and the
fire protective measures comprise an
important part of tbt work of the for
est rangers. Frequently men and
horses suffer death in the forest fires
which grow beyond their control, and
the most rigid precautions are continu
ally being taken to stamp out every
small blaze before it can be fanned
by the -winds into serious volume.
The forest fires come from a num
ber of causes. Lightning is one of them
and this Is the one appearing in most
unfrequented places. The railroads are
constantly responsible for small fires,
but the railroad companies themselves
are keenly alive to the menace and do
all in their power to prevent fires.
Many roads employ men for the ex
press purpose of putting out fires
caused by Bparks dropped along the
railroad track. When the wind is high
these sparks may be carried for miles,
however, so that a fire resultant from a
train may be kindled far away from
the track. Campers and hunters have
been responsible for forest fired de
stroying millions of dollars worth of
property and a campaign of education
upon this subject is sweeping over the
country.
The Boy Scouts have become Inter
ested in the matter of forest fires. In
some states they rendered valiant ser
vice last year In fighting fires already
under way, while their training makes
them ever vigilant not onlv to nrevxnt
danger from any of their own camp
fires, but also to extinguish any small
fires which have been started in the
woods by other agents.

and that the vacant position could not

Many of these certifications were un
justified. "The records show that during the
four . years from March 4. 1909, to
March 4, 1913. vacancies which were
allowed to exist for periods of from
one month to more than one year ag
gregated the equivalent of 34 clerks
employed continuously during the
above period."
The committee asserts that imme
diately before the time when the new
administration was to take office there
was a "complete reversal of policy, and
that all available places in the depart
ment that had remained vacant for
months were filed. On January 21. 1913."

feet," the committee says, "were carried f
by the press, delivered personally by
representatives of the department at
postmasters' conventions and in offi
cial letters to postmasters at first and
second class postof flees. "It is as
sumed by the committee that the
stress laid upon this matter induced
many postmasters to exercise drastic
economy at the expense of the ser
vice. The result has undoubtedly Justi
fied such complaints of imperfect and
unsatisfactory service as have been re
ceived recently from New York, Phil
adelphia and elsewhere."
Rural Mall., Suffer.
"The practice of delaying action un
til the pressure for It became too
strong is even more noticeable by ex
amination of the records of the divis

says. "During the greater part of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 191i. rural

only in cases of extreme emergency,
except where a net saving to the gov

Coming to the question of financial
conditions, the report describes the com
prehensive study of the finances ot the
department for the fiscal years 1909 to
1912. inclusive, as outlined above, and
says specifically:
Really a Deficit.
"Instead of surplus of $219,118.12 for
that year (1911). as claimed by your
predecessor, it Is clearly demonstrated
that there was in reality a deficit of
more than three-quarters of a million
dollars. Furthermore, a close analy
sis of the financial statement for the
fiscal year 1912 discloses the fact that
the admitted deficit of $1,785,523.10 fir
that year was understated by nearly
$100,000."

The strike at the smelter is con
sidered over and the big smelting plant
is now working two-thirds of the
smelter with a full crew. There are
750 men at work, of which number 150
are the members of the striking force
who have returned to work. The others
are new men, and because of their
greenness, the work Is a little slower
than it was under A&e old order, but
the smelter officials expect to have the
plant running with a full force within
another month.

TALLYHO AND 20
PEOPLE OVER CLIFF
Denver. Colo.. May 31. A tallyho In
which there were about 20 people was
hurled down a 60-foot embankment at
Mount Morrison park, near here, late
last night.
The party left Denver early Friday
to spend Memoril day fishing on Turkey
creek beyond Mount Morrison. It was
composed of two tallyhos laden with
young couples from this city. On the
return trip, and after dark, while the
lead tallyho was entering a narrow
trail along the cliff side, another con
veyance attempted to pass. The driver
of the tallyho. it is reported, pulled his
horses sharply to the right and the
animals, becoming frightened, plunged
the tallyho down the side of the ell A.
Members of the second tallyho has
tened to Morrison for aid. Calls for
ambulances were hurriedly sent into
Denver.
After midnight the rescue parties re
turned and the injured, some 15 in num
ber, were taken to various hospitals
in the city, although no one was
fatally hurt.
The accident occurred at a point on
the Mount Morrison road called Cowan,
about 18 miles south of Denver. Mem
bers of the party believe the escape
from death was due to the fact that
the side of the cliff down which the
carriage fell, is rolling and not steep
enough to cause a hard, long drop.
Only five women were among the in
jured, the est being men. The people
were seated in the tallyho in such a
mannr th eatth men on the right-hand
side struck the ground first, as the
vehicle topped over the side.
