RESPITE FROM BIG CROWDS Sequoia Forests and Other Places of interest About the Yosemite Art Visited Monarcha of the Forest Are Inspected. El Portal, Cal., Oct"' 8. In the wildness of the western slope of the Sierras, away from the crowds and the necessity of speech-making, Presi dent Taft is traveling by stage coach toward the wonderful Mariposa Grove of Dig Trees. Respite from the great crowds, the bracing mountain air, breathed amid a scenic environment declared one of the most beautiful in the world, and a simple diet of mountain trout, chick en, bacon and eggs, is expected to render the president fit for the re mainder of his trip.

The Spanish ambas sador to France, the Marquis del Muni, has again formally assured Foreign Minister Pichon that Spain has no intention of departing from her original program regarding Morocco as communicated to the powers. Alejandro Le Roux, member of the Spanish chamber of deputies and lead er of the Barcelona republicans, who Is now returning to Spain for the opening of the Cortes after two years spent in exile because of his bitter denunciation of the government, de clared in an interview in Paris that all the liberal elements in Spain were concentrating and that a revolution was not only possible but necessary and easy. He said that although Fer rer was not directly responsible for the rioting in Barcelona last July he was convinced he would be con demned to be shot, as was Garcia, be cause the clerical reaction has the upper hand and Is determined to put an end to lay education. Le Roux is of the opinion that King Alfonso is weak and without prestige except with Ihe army, and that the monarchy is irretrievably doomed, and he said that the only way to save Ferrer is through international agitation in fa vor of a public trial. .The French socialists are calling meetings throughout the republic to protest against the Spanish repression.

The Mondell Homestead Lands Wo are receiving thousands of inquiries about the 320-acre free homestead lands available for settlers under the Mondell Act These lands arc located in eastern Colorado and in Wyoming along the Burlington. The great advantage of this new homestead law is that the settler is permitted to take up free, 320 acres instead of 1G0 acres, the larger tract being required urder the new dry farm ing methods; northwestern Wyoming: has from 1G to 21 inches of moisture, and has produced some of the finest crops of small grains ever seen in the west. I personally conduct excursions on the first and third Tues days of each month to these lands. Write me for special descrip tive folders, literature, etc. , ' IRRIGATED LANDS IN THE BIG HORN BASIN.
