AXIEL WILLARD. the recently elected president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, has just assumed the duties of that office,
and the company is receiving congratulations on having secured the
services of one of the most successful railway men in America. Mr.
Wlllard was born at North Hartland. Vt., January 2S. 1SC1, and at
the age of 18 began railroad work as a track laborer on "the Central Ver
mont load. He became a fireman and then locomotive engineer, and in
1SS4 he entered the employ of the Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sauk Ste
Marie railway. In 15 years he passed successively through the grades
of brakeman. conductor, roundhouse foreman, engineer, trainmaster, as
sistant superintendent and superintendent of division For two years
he was assistant general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio, and then
successively assistant to president, third vice-president and first vice
president and general manager of the Erie. On January l, 1904.
James J Hill secured the services of Mr. Willard, making him second
vice-president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. In this office he
has been the chief operating officer of the Burlington in charge of
operation ano maintenance, and during his connection with that road
the Burlington spent over $00,000,000 in betterments to properfv. In
all his work as an executive officer Mr. Willard has had two paramount
aims to promote safety in travel, and to see that the railroad deals
fairly with the public. It has been his policy at all times to have
the rail'oad company treat each community that it serves the same as
a public spirited citizen of that community would do. He makes the
railioad a local enterprise in every town through which its lines pass,
and this policy has done much to change the sometimes hostile attitude

husband. My pack basket contains
a duplicate of every article I wear,
with the exception of my hat, shoes,
skirt and coat.
"My husband's outfit besides the
clothes he wears consists of three
pairs of woolen socks, one suit of
woolen underwear and a heavy sweat

blankets sewed up at the sides to
make a sleeping bag.
"Around the campfires at night we
often hear the woodsmen discuss many
things with our guide. One of their
favorite topics Is the best kind of
snowshoe. According to our guide, no
lug snow, if the shirt is tucked in, will
settle about the waist, melt and satu
rate the shirt. Leaving the shirt hang
ing loose, after the manner of a China
man, it sheds snow like a duck's back
sheds water.
"This same woodsman convinced us
that sweaters were not good things to
wear on a woods trail. The loosely
woven wool holds the snow that falls
on it. the snow melts and quickly
ireezes, making It both uncomfort
able and unhealthful.
"The best camps for winter are
those built by woodsmen for their own
use. Now that we make a trip each
winter, we have made a business to
hunt out these camps and visit bonie
of them every trip. Most of them are
made of logs, have low roofs and liny
windows. In the summer they look
cold and damp, but in the winter,
after a long day's tramp, they are the
pictures of cheery comfort once the
fire is going in the little sheet iron
stove."

Brown Animal In Alaska Grows as
Tall as Horse and Is Feared
by Indian Hunters.
Seattle, Wash. Joseph King, United
States game warden for Alaska, who
has just returned from the north, says
that the law for the protection of wild
animals Is obeyed with the exception
that the provision which provides a
closed season for the great brown bear
the craft, which was minus oars, was
goon at the mercy of the current. The
boat attracted the attention of the
crew of a fishing smack, who over
took it and transferred the boys to
their vessel. Owing to the dense fog j
the smack could not maKe tor the
ehore that night. They were landed
next morning and taken to their pa
rents' home, none the worse of their
adventure.
Substitutes for Cotton.
Owing to the high price of cotton
some German textile experts have
been turning their attention to other
fibers that might be used as a substi
tute for it. Recently a spinning com
pany at Chemnitz has succeeded in
spinning the fiber contained in the
seeds of the kapok, or silk cotton tree

that Prof. Goldberg of Chemnitz has
found a method of treating it to make
it spinnable, and the yarn is de
scribed as having a peculiarly soft,
silky feeling. The fiber has tho ad
vantage of being considerably cheaper
than cotton, but no information is at
hand showing the wearing qualities of
fabrics made from kapok yarn.

This savage beast, tho largest bear
In tho world and tho only one which
does not flee from man, attains the
height of a horse. In the summer
months men are afraid to turn out
their horses and never venture from
their cabins without rifles.
"In every native village In the Alas
kan peninsula the aborigines show
scars," says Dr. King, "which have
resulted from conflicts with the brown
bears, and, although the Indians arc
equipped with high-power repeating
rifles, many have sacriliced their lives
iu battles with these animals."
Not the Place tor Brains.
A western woman holds that large
feet are evidence of great brains. May
be, but It's no place to carry them.
