The natives search for it quite as eagerly as elsewhere gold and precious stones are run after ; and , indeed , the .deposits , for such they are , are to all fictenis and purposes mines of wood , the origin of which has never been satisfac- t ± orlly explained. JLocal legends have it that in a far Sistant past vast numbers of these trees . existed in the dense forests with which ? tbe whole region was covered , and that tremendous cata- : as a result of some eJysm they were uprooted and precipi tated into the ravines.

It was for this reason that rhe phraKo , "twilight sono. " stryk such a iTMpoiipivo chord. Th President immediately seized upon it and useti it to xvnluin his position.

It is absurd to say that the laws can create a fictitious , and tint ih - person , called a corporation creature can th'-n defy its creator and oppress at will the p < ople of tin ; entire country. These corporations have controlled na tional politics for years and resent any interference with t'hejr plans. They con trol politics in several States and are reaching out after more. They subsidize newspapers and these papers defame ev ery servant of the people and eulogise every official who betrays 'his constituents. They contribute to the campaign funds to debauch politics : ( hey corrupt business methods and when those corrupt methods are attacked they hide behind honest wealth and denounce all reform as an attack - tack on legitimate accumulations. It is time to cliniuate the "twilight zone" and hold to strict accountability nil the agencies created by the people. The Rame of hide and si > ok must stop , and the nation and the State , each in its re spective sphere , must exorcise its power to the full , first , to make a private mon opoly impossible , and second , to so regu late quasi public corporations as to make them subserve the purpose for which they were created.

" XoHiing but an insane contempt for every Democratic principle could have led to tho. brny.on disregard of the will of the rank and filr of party unmistakably expressed a't the polls manifested at Ilar- rislmrg. The convent ion was an excellent illus tration of the difference bi'tvoon convon- tionr and the primary method of election , and just such conventions led to the adop tion of the primary system. At the pri mary , whore the voters had a chance to than two-thirds express themselves , more of the district delegates wore instructed , and yet in the State convention the dele gates elected at the same primaries joined in vrirh .1 political boss to defeat instruc tions.

There is some Lope for Representative Ilodonburg of Illinois. A man who roads tlie Commoner so diligently can not long remain in the bondage of ignorance. CV.rneiius P.liss denies that the Metro politan Street- Railway Company contrib uted $ r nO,000 to the Republican campaign Cini'l. I5ut perhaps Mr. Hliss overlooked a little contribution like that among so many really big ones. Speaker Cannon wants to know why the paper trust has not boon prosecuted. Why , doesn't "Uncle Joe" know that there is no paper trust , that it was recent ly enjoined and that it is still doing busi ness and raising prices ? Now if the Republican newspapers would announce their determination to oppose the re-election of the Republican Congressmen who refuse to remove the duty on pulp , there might be something doing in Congress along tariff reform linos. Noting that a Mr. Lemon is one of the Illinois delegates to rhe Denver con vention , the Washington Post says : "It is needless to say this Lemon is also for Bryan.

From this time on , also , the govern ment engineers plan to begin operation on at least one big reclamation project each year until the whole scheme , in volving aa outlay of $100.000,000. shall have been completed.

The subject of forestry Is slated for extended discussion at this gathering , its relation to irrigation being the most intimate , it is said. Rivers rising in devastated countries are subject to an nual floods that cannot be controlled and work only further devastation each year , wffile the flow can be turned tone no useful purpose. In the country surrounding Albu querque , where the modern wonders of irrigation are to be discussed , there are traces of ancient works fully as wonderful in th ir way because created by primitive peoples ages ago who were the first irrigators of the West. The mo t remarkable part of it. ac cording to the government engineers who are surveying new canals for these same regions , ? .s that the ancients , with theJr crude instruments , hit upon the tiuvst advantageous routes for carrying mt these big engineering works , and in many sections to-day , it is said , the surveys are jdotting out the new works right along the lines of those in use centuries ago.
