NEW
NATIONAL
Palo Duro Canyon Proffered to
the Government by Texas
WONDERFUL NATURAL FREAK
Sit of PropoMd Park Excel Yellow
stone In Wildnoee and Beauty.
Scenery It at Impressive and Impos
ing as Colorado's Grand Canyon. -
A national pars containing uiauy uui
- al wonders and beauties will be es
tablished In the Panhandle of Texas it
success follows the movement now on
foot with that purpose in view The
Texas state legislature at its last ses
sion passed a law ceding to the United
States government a large piece of ter
ritory for use as a national park, says
the Kansas, City Star. It is expected
that congress will accept the gift and
make adequate appropriation for the
necessary improvements and assume
the care and protection of the property,
- Embraced In this proposed park la
the Palo Duro canyon, which is said
to excel in wild scenic beauties the
wonders of Yellowstone park. The
Palo Duro canyon begins near the bor
der line between New Mexico and Tex
as and extends' southeast to Us outlet
In the foothills below the cap rock of
the plains. It has a length of about
200 miles. That portion of the canyon
which has been ceded to the federal
government for national park purposes
is about forty miles long and has an
average width of about five miles. In
many places the canyon broadens to
width of ten miles and more. The
walls along Its course are precipitous
and rise to a height of from 500 to
1,600 feet.
This canyon is looked upon by geol
ogists as a wonderful freak of nature.
The country adjacent to it and extend
ing outward for several hundred miles
is almost as level as a floor. It is a
great depression situated in the very
heart of what is known as the Llano
Estacado, or Staked Plain. There is
such an absence of all ruggedness of
formation of the country adjoining It
that the giant offset in the earth's sur
face is not noticeable until almost the
very brink of the canyon is reached.
It has the appearance of having been
created by the sudden dropping out of
the bottom of a long strip In the crust
of Mother Earth during the formative
period.
The wonders of Talo Duro still are
comparatively unknown. Its wild re
cesses never have been explored. Its
physical features are wholly different
from the bare and monotonous plains
country in the midst of which It lies.
So little known was this beauty spot
that when the bill providing that It
sbocld be taken over by the federal
government was before the last legis
lature 90 per cent of the members of
that body were unaware that such a
canyon existed In the state, t It is iso
lated from the more populous parts of
the state, but it is situated close to
two railroads. There is an entrance to
the canyon within two miles of Canyon
City on the Santa Fe railroad, and it
may be easily reached from Amarillo
and other points on the Fort Worth
and Denver railroad. Notwithstand
ing the proximity of these towns to
the canyon but few attempts have ever
been made to explore Its depths and
remote meandering. It Is occasionally
visited by ranchmen and sportsmen,
and much of the knowledge that Is to
be had of what 1b contained between
the precipitous walls Is obtained from
these men. What few explorations
that have been made were confined to
the more accessible" portions ' of the
giant depression. Its grassy valleys
afford grazing ground for many cattle.
These glades are well known to the
ranchmen of this region. There are
many rugged features of the canyon
which offer an Inviting field for daring
climbers and explorers. There Is 'a
grand mlxup of matter in some parts
f the canyon. The scenery Is as Im
pressive and Imposing as that of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado River.

FISH POND FOR KANSAS CITY
Suggestion of a Man Who Likes an
Afternoon of Angling. '
"Kansas City Is badly in need of
something," said a resident of the east
side the other day. to a reporter of the
Kansas City Star. "I suppose if I'd tell
anybody what It is the city needs I'd
be laughed at, but I'm going to speak
tut anyway. '?': ; . ,
"There Is no place where a Kansas
Eltyan can go to fish for an afternoon
and get back in time for work the next
day. I mean fish for real fish bass
and crapple and other game fish. Of
course in the Blue river at Swope park
there are a few catfish and some carp,
and I'm not throwing any slurs at
them. But there are no game fish
nearer the city than those in a private
pond near Independence. " It takes near
ly four hours to make the trip there,
and it leaves little time in an after
noon for angling. , '
, "Now, I have a suggestion. I have
noticed that the park board is grading
parts of the park at the grove on Fif
teenth street at Benton boulevard.
There Is a ravine running nearly four
blocks through the grove that at most
points is at least ten feet deep from
the south bank and varying from two
to ten feet on the north. , Trees and
brush save .the ravine from being an
unsightly scar. But why not fill the
basin of this ravine- with water and
Btock it with good game fish? It is an
excellent place for them. ' After a year
the park . board could allow fishing,
charging a small sum for the pleasure.
Many other cities have public parks
containing water stocked with valua
ble game fish. The fish will spawn
rapidly, and the tree trunks and shrub
bery would furnish an excellent pro
tection for the young fish. I want to
see a place where women and children
and any others who enjoy a, national
sport without riding on a train can go
for half a day. , Game fish need deep
water and shade. The ravine in the
grove could furnish these."
"TOO BIG . FOR PRESIDENT."
J. P. Morgan Wouldn't Take That Job,
Say Dog Show Doorkeeper. -
The proudest man in New York the
other day was the doorkeeper of the
private entrance to the dog show In
Madison Square Garden, for be was
formally Introduced to the little niece
of J. Flerpont Morgan by Mr. Morgan
himself.
It wag about 5:30 o'clock when Mr.
Morgan, accompanied by the little girl,
appeared, .The doorkeeper, conscious
of his personal acquaintance with the
financier and also recognizing a kin
dred spirit in dogdoni, gave bis vis
itors a hearty welcome. Mr. Morgan
acknowledged the welcome, and when
the doorkeeper deplored that the finan
cier was not exhibiting his collies this
year he was told that Mr. Morgan was
also very sorry. . .
. "But I want you to meet my little
niece," continued the financier, patting
the child on the shoulder, "for she, too,
Is a great dog lover, if not-a fancier."
S "Pretty democratic," -'commented a
bystander as the financier passed on.
"Who? Him?" said the doorkeeper,
"lie's a real man; that's what be Is."
"How'd you like to vote for him for
president?" asked the other.
"Huh! He's too big. lie wouldn't
take that job," said the doorkeeper.

PROT EClliOF BIRDS
- . .. .
Scheme to Interest Children In
the' Movement.
GREAT ECONOMIC CAMPAIGN.
School Army Throughout the Land to
Be Enlisted to Save the Feathered
Guardians of the Crope Immediate
Building of Bird Houees Urged.
On the millions of school children in
the United States final hope of avert
ing the extinction of the. valuable spe
cies of insectivorous birds has been
rested.- ' . t v -.
What, the federal government, the
Btate legislatures and even the granges,
women's clubs and national commercial
organizations have failed to accom
plish completely the National Associa
tion of Audubon Societies have an
nounced will be now given to the chil
dren of the land to bring about. To
organize every tsody of pupils, from the
largest New York public school to the
most remote district school on the Pa
cific coast, into a general movement
for housing, feeding and protecting th
wild birds that save the country's
crops is the object of the Audubon
workers in New York city.
General headquarters for this new
campaign are being established in the
offices of the National . Association of
Audubon Societies at 141 Broadway,
New York. Already ' the organization
is In touch with thousands of teachers
and girls' and boys' clubs throughout
the country, to which it has regularly
sent literature on 'bird guarding and
care, soys the New York Post. With
these as a nucleus the children are to
push the fight until the members of
ench school lu every neighborhood are
enlisted in the work of building bird
houses and ."restaurants" to sustain
the sadly thinned ranks of the feath
ered army of insect destroyers. Spe-
! clal ammunition in the form of print
I ed directions and Suggestions for nfak
j Ing bird 'Shelters and "lunch counters"
. Is being prepared for every boy and
girl who will write and ask for it.
j Old kettles, boxes and milk, tomato
ind kerosene cans are being used by
the children as emergency bird shel
ters. Elaborate houses, rustic imita
tions of hollow limbs and neatly fur
nlshed apartments are also being plan
I oed. All must be made cat proof and
should face to the south. or west if
possible. The feathered pair that will
leek quarters for rearing their family
In the spring will be particular in their
tastes. If they find no promising spot
for a home in any locality,' they will
pass on and leave Us fields and gar
lens at the mercy - of insects. The
children are urged to the Immediato
building of houses for this season's
bird families, because seasoned and
weather beaten structures must quick
ly tempt the birds when spring mov
ing day comes.
Ornithologists declare that the march
of civilization has robbed millions of
useful as well as sightly and tuneful
birds of their old time facilities for
homemaklng. Sheltering tree trunks
i ire being laid low every year over
hundreds of seres. The old fashioned
itructures, where birds might flock un
der open eaves, are being replaced by
modern roofs that shut out bird life.
Whole races, like the chimney swifts,
are being deprived of their shelter In
the big, old style chimneys.
Such conditions, combined with lax
laws for spring shooting and pot hunt
ing, may drive the valuable Insect eat
ers to extinction. .It will be the chil
dren's work to bouse the evicted birds
at the time when they not only rear
their young, bnt eat most copiously of
the Insect crop destroyers.
The children are now the great fac
tor In this economic movement," said
William Du teller, president of the Na-
tional Association of Audubon Socle
' ties. ' "Not only their patriotism, but
the self Interest of every one of their
parents. Is the motive for preventing
the extinction of the beautiful and
highly valuable birds of this country.
; We are calling on congress, the stata
legislatures and on every adult body to
help, but I believe the work of the
school children will accomplish more
than all the other methods combined.
It Is a fine chance for every boy and
girl to do something for the village,
state and the country at large, and I
know they will not neglect to do their
part 'Save the birds la the motto and
rallying cry."
PLAN TO HELP FARMERS.

Representstlve Charles F. Scott of
Kansas, chairman of the boose com
mittee on agriculture,' has conceived a
aovel plan which, ho believes, would

States to produce better and far lar

Mr. Scott's proposition Involves the
establishment of 100 experimental
farms of one acre each la every coun
ty In a group of four western agri
cultural states for' the purpose of giv
ing the farmers a practical demonstra
tion of the best methods of growing
different crops. It is proposed that
the Undo for this purpose shall be
provided by the farmers themselves
and that they shall do the work of cul
tl ration aader the direct loa of the el

LONG TRIP TO FIND LUMBER.
Russia Gave Australian Firm Conoes.
aion on Siberian Timber Lands.
An Australian corporation recently
received a concession from the Busslan
government to take out 30,000,000 feet
of timber a year from a forest in Si
beria, 000 miles from Vladivostok, to
be delivered in Melbourne, Australia,
approximately 8,000 miles away and
nearly three times the distance from
New York to San Francisco. .
It Is likely that no lumbering oper
ation of recent years more strongly Il
lustrates the pinch in the timber sup
ply In all parts of the world, says a
forest service bulletin. In the news of
the concession, told In l?n American
lumber Journal, is the suggestion of
the difficulty that all countries may
have to encounter in getting the wood
which they need in tbe future. Every
year timber cruisers are going farther
and farther afield and cutting trees
which, in former times of abundance,
they passed because of the inaccessi
bility of the forest.:
In taking out the .Siberian timber
the Melbourne lumbermen will have to
ship the. entire year"s cut in July, Au
gust, September and October, for dur
ing the remainder of the year there Is
no open water at the point of shipment.
What makes this unusual feature of
transporting bulky logs 8,000 miles
quite feasible is that such unmanufac
tured stock is admitted free, while
there is a heavy duty on ail manufac
tured wood brought Into Australia, the
duty on lumber,, for instance, being
nearly $5 a thousand board feet. At
Melbourne a new mill Is being erected
to manufacture these logs into dressed
stock, such as flooring, celling and oth
er products, as well as into lumber. ,
These Siberian operations differ from
the lumbering methods in the United
States In that in this country it is pos
sible and customary to have new mills
conveniently near the place of produc
tion, though, with the continually de
creasing supply, tbe larger mills often
find it profitable to haul their timber
by trams and railroads many miles
away from their saws. ; Forest experts
In this country say that the hope of the
United States for a steady supply of
timber lies in the application of fores
try to all timber lands, ' private and
public, and the careful . study of the
economical and better utilization of
product. Even so, a severe shortage
in twenty to twenty-five years must
be expected.
NEW RAILROAD SIGNALS.
German Device to Catch Engineer's
Attention on Approaching Signals.
Germany recently has been having
its share of the same epidemic of rail
road disasters which aroused the
American public a year ago, and tba
large number of accidents whlcn were
traced to tbe failure of engine drivers
to see signals has caused tbe Prussian
railway administration to adopt a new
signal apparatus. The feature of the
new system lies In tbe warning given
the engineer that be is approaching a
signal about 110 yards before the sig
nal Itself Is actually reached, says the
New York Times.- This is accomplish
ed by tbe use of an electric cab signal
system which rouses the driver's at
tention by ringing a bell and exposing
a white slide directly before his eyes
in the cab. With bis attention thus
stimulated the driver will have no ex
cuse for running by a signal in a fog.
This combination of outside and inside
apparatus does away with the objec
tion railroad men have made to signal
devices before the engineer's eyes in
tbe cab, which they believed would
tend to make him pay less attention to
tbe line of road stretching before him.
Watching from the locomotive Is ab
solutely necessary for the safety of tbe
train and -would gradually be left un
performed If attention was distracted
entirely to the little signal apparatus
In the cab.
The apparatus now used In Prussia
on several railroads Is as follows: At
a fixed distance from tbe signal post
two parallel Iron bars with a small
space between them are mounted along
the track for several yards. There is
attached to tbe locomotive an arm
which carries a bristly broom msde of
pliable copper wires. Tbe passage of
this broom between tbe Iron bars pro
duces a contact which Is Intense and
free from concussion. An electrical ac
tion follows upon tbe mechanism In
the csb. a bell sounds and a white
slide replaces a red. The sign remains
plainly visible to the eye until tbe en
gineer presses a button. He knows
definitely thst a signal Is to be ex
pected and if be cannot clearly make
out the order Intended will stop tbe
train.

WORLD PEACE MOVE.
' .
To Be Sought Through Exchange
of Children's Letters.
SCHOOL PUPILS AS WRITERS.
Plan Proposed For Making Friends of
; All Nations Youngstere of Japan
" and America to Begin Movement
' That It Is Hoped May End Wars.
A movement for international peace
was recently launched at Stamford,
Coup., by Wilson L. Gill, LL. D., presi
dent of the American Patriotic league,
In which President Roosevelt, former
President' Cleveland and many other
prominent- men are interested and the
offices of which are at30EastTwentieth
street, New York. After the close of
the Spanish war Mr. Gill was general
supervisor of moral and civic training
in the public schools of Cuba under
commission from the United States.
Briefly the plan Is to establish cor
respondence between children of the
public schools in the United States and
the school children in foreign countries,
with the . idea of making them better
acquainted. It is proposed first to make
the experiment with tbe school chil
dren of Japan and those of the United
StatesT - Professor Makayama of tbe
Normal college at Tokyo, Japan, who Is
now In New York on a commission
from , the Japanese government study
ing new educational methods, has been
in communication with Mr. Gill look
ing to the establishment of school cities
in Japan. Mr. Gill is confident Pro
fessor Makayama will indorse the cor
respondence plan. Besides, he says, be
has friends of influence in tbe educa
tional work of Japan upon whom he
may rely. He has no doubt of the fu
ture of the movement begun In Stam
ford by the formation of Stamford
School Cities, Chapter of the American
Protective league, with Superintendent
of Schools E. E. Willard as president.
Representatives of foreign govern
ments have approved tbe plan. One
who has given it enthusiastic indorse
ment is Ernesto Nelson of 605 West
One Hundred and Fifteenth street.
New York city, special commissioner
of education for tbe Argentine Repub
lic. Mr. Gill says difference in languages
will not be insurmountable.
"The movement is political rather
than educational," said Mr. Gill the
other night, "and I believe It Is one of
the greatest political movements ever
launched. The people of Japan are
rankling under the belief that tbey
were deprived of the fruits of tbelr
war with Russia by Interference of the
United States in bringing that war to
an end. The Japanese government is
friendly, but tbe government is repre
sentative, and tbe people may change
its officers at any time. '
"The only safety, then, is to make
the Japanese people realize that we
are their friends; that we desire to be
friendly with tbem and expect the
same treatment from them. We hope
to get' that friendship established by
correspondence between the children
of the two nations. If we can make
the children of the two nations friends
It is safe to say there will be no war
so far as Japan and the United States
are concerned.'
SILK FROM GRASS.

William S. Devery, New York's for

from tbe vegetation of the Rockaway

says. -
- He ssys this fabric can be used for

only half as expensive as thst which
I owes its origin to tbe silkworm.

and thank him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out

"One of the most unusual statements'
was made by Mr. C. W. Woods, of 10S
South Highland Street He said: 'For
four years my wife was In very poop
health. She was weak and thin, with:
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and I wast
inclined to believe them. It certainly:
looked as though her days were num.-'
bered, and there appeared to bo very?
little ground for hope.
""Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to
Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per
sons who had tried his medicine, so C
got some for my wife. She had takenc
it only two days when she was relieved!
of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be
gan to Improve Immediately has gain
ed seven pounds since she began tak
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any;
one doubts this statement I would ba
pleased to have them call at my housa
and verify It."
The Cooper remedies are be
coming justly .famous. .We sell them. :
