and to controverting the evidence for

PLEA OF GKOVEK CLEVELAND
Urges Duty to Make Provision for
Men Who Have Filled Highest
Post in Nation.
Referring to the poverty of Jefferson
when he left the presidency as a blow
-to national pride. Grover Cleveland ,
writing in the'Youth's Companion un
der to title "Our People and Their ex-
Presidents , " argues that definite and
generous provision should be made for
the maintenance of chief magistrates
at the expiration of their terms , lie
deals with the subject at length and
explains that he feels he can do so
without his sincerity being questioned ,
since he is beyond the need of aid
from the public treasury.
'The condition is by no means met , "
Air. Cleveland \\rites. "by the meager
and spasmodic relief occasionally fur
nished under the guise of a military
pension or ? ome other pretext , nor
would it be best met by making com-
j cnsition dependent upon the discharge
ol senatorial or other ollicial duty. Our
D -epic ought to make definite and dec-
oions provision- * for all cases alike ,
based on motives of justice and fair-
lies.- , , and adequate to the situation. "
Mr. Cleveland describes the limita
tions tint Ids fornuv high otlice place
on a retired President in his cho.-e of
occupations and means of livelihood
and how popular conception of him as a
repository of national dignity enforces
a scale ot In ing That may not be withir
his private means.
"There is a sort of vague , but none
rh- less imperative , feeling abroad in
the land that one who has occupied the
great oliie. > of President holds in trust
! < # his felkm citizens a certain dig
nity which , in his conduct and manner
of life , he is bound to protect against
loss or deterioration. Obedience to this
obligation prescribes for him only such
work as in popular judgment is not
undignified. This suggests without ar
gument a recipro'-al connection be
tween the curtailment of opportunities
and a re so liable obligation of indem
nification. "
One dhi-ion of the Cleveland article
is devoted to the "Occupations of an ,
ex-President. " and in it the former
President iv\eals the multiplicity of
things \ \ inch per.-ons endeavor to bring
to the attention of the retired states

to engage in.

Three Men Buried a Thousand Feet
Underground in Nevada.
One morning early in December a
-udd'Mi crash of timbers , a nuitiled
-latter ot rock and cloud of dust told
the engineer of the Alpha mine , near
lily. Xev. , that the me men he had
ju.st bent down in the cage were buried ,
lie ga\s the alarm and a thousand
men. eager to be of service , gathered
ubout the shaft. Supt. Gallagher care-
t'uliy picked the men lie wanted , noti-
tied others that he might call upon
them later and at once began efforts to
communicate with the entomlvJ men ,
hoping some might have escaped death.
.Before nightfall he learned that two
Greeks were caught in the caie-in and
buried alive , but that the three Ameri
cans. Bradley. Brown and McDonald ,
were in no immediate danger. A sis-
inch pipe runs from the mouth of the
shaft to the bottom and by removing
the cap from its base the imprisoned
men managed to talk with Gallagher.
They told him they had a little food
and water enough for two or three
da \ s.
s.With
With rubber devices Gallagher passed
food and liquids down the pipe and
\\as soon able to supply the men. He
started a drift toward them and at
first it seemed probable that he would
reach them in aeek. . Before that
time the unforeseen happened and the
rescuers were compelled to make new
plans. It was then announced that ten
iia.\s would lie sufhcient to get to the
miners , but fresh accidents beyond the
pale of prevention delajed the woru-
ers. Now Gallagher declines to make
predictions and simply says that be
\\ill continue his effort as long as he
has strength to direct it. The men
f.-in be saved , lie declares , and he will
sa\e them.
The entombed miners spend their
long days far more cheerfully than
mi gut be expected in such circum-
btauces. To safeguard them in case
the rescue party is delayed Supt. Gal
lagher has supplied them with enough
provisions to List threeweeks. . They
re. . eive cooked food. eggs , milk , and
tobacco by means of -six-inch pipe
running down the shaft. They hav
connected the mine telephone \\ith an
electric < cable , and are able to talk daily
with : their families and friends. They
tire well supplied with news , and have
V
shown much interest in the Goldlield
crisis. They have plenty of light and
room to move about , so that if they
can endure the long delay they can
wait for rescue with eu'ilidence and
coluparative comfort.
The rescue party itself has dangers
face. A cave-in below the temp > -

suddenly find themselves without any

FACTS ABOUT : : : *
: : : THE CENSUS , t
Though we are still getting bulletins
and reports based on tbe census of 11)00. )
the time has come to begin active prepara
tions for the enumeration of 1910. Bills
have been introduced covering the main
features of tbe next census , and an ap
propriation of Sli.000,000 will be asked.
It is nearly live jears since a perma
nent census office was established. The
maintenance of a sort of skeleton organ
ization should make for economy , system
and superior efficiency during the next
census and the tabulation and publica
tion of its results. It is proposed to restrict -
strict tbe inquiries to population , agricul
ture. manufacturing , mines and quarries.
All sorts of suggestions have been made
for particular and additional inquiries.
btif while the utility of some of them is
undoubted , limitation is deemed necessary

economj .

posed to employ ( . " ) . ( ! * ) ! ) enumerators in
stead oft. . " . ( KM ) . the number employed in

OH WONDER OP THE WORLD.
Indian Territory Has a Great
Wealth Producer in Glenn Pool.
Nothing in the history of oil discov
eries in the United States equals the
record of the Glenn pool , near Tulsa ,
1. T. There are in operation 1,113
wells , which produce a daily average
of 107,700 barrels , and in sixteen
months have sent to market 25,000,000
barrels. Land which in December ,
1903 , "was worth $20 per acre now
brings $2,500 per acre. Three good-
sized towns have been built from the
reflex prosperity of the pools. Glena
pool is one of the -wonders of the world
to men in the business of petroleum ,
and men have come from all over the
world to see it. Glenn pool is not only
the most productive pool in the -world ,
but it is the largest in area. Up to
this time the proven territory covers
some 14,000 acres. Rigs are still going-
tip , anel whenever the people in the
business think they have the lines pret
ty well defined along comes awell
away off from production , which ex
tends the limits of the pool by from
one to three miles. So nobody knows
anything about the limits of the pool
except that up to this time 14,000 acres
have been proven up.
Millions of dollars have been spent
in the development of the pool and
millions of elollars have been made out
> f it. The pipe lines and the equip
ment run into money as rapidly as wa
fer runs down hill. It costs $3.000 to
drili and equip a well. Then it co < t3
something for the lease and something
for the tankage. To drill and equip
each ftO-acre lease takes close to $100-
' ! ( in in real money. But the pool gives
it ail back again. A real good well -will
pafor itself in five or ten days
