Ynsemlte valley and the Mariposa tract
of big trees have been returned to the
t'nlted States by California, and will
henceforth be parks In a truer sense than
ever before. These remarkable districts
are among the great attractions which
this county offers to travelera. artists
and lovers of the sublime and beautiful;
the valley, a tremendous rent of a mile
depth In the Sierras. Its stupendous cliffs i
laced with waterfalls; and the grove a
spot where the greatest trees In all the
world are growing. Sightseers, scientists,
writers, painters, photographers and peo
ple who are neither of these, but who fol
low the crowd, take large sums of money
into Cnllfornla, and they have spread the
fame of the grove and valley around the
world.
These tourists should be protected, and
so should be the scenery they go so far to
study. Commercialism and neglect put
their blight on the regions when they be
came state parks, allelt they were sup
posedly set aside for public uses merely.
Visitors have been annoyed by dispari
ties between service and expenditure;
beautiful views have been marred by fore
grounds of shacks, sheds, fences and sta
bles; the chopper has been allowed to
molest natural growths; roads and
bridges have not been so well planned or
cared for ns they might have been. The
return of the properties to the federal
government signifies that a stronger and
freer hand will control them; that there
will be more attention to public .right,
and less to private eagerness for profit.
What signifies most In this recession Is
the example afforded to other of our
states. It Is desirable, and may In a few
years become necessary, to save the tim
ber in the Adirondacks and the While
mountains. After Industries have become
more general In the south it will be a
condition of their maintenance that water
power to operate the mills and shops
shall be continuous, and this cannot be If
the forests at the sources of the rivers
are depleted, except after the manner pre
scribed by scientific forestry, and with
moderation. We should have timber re
serves In the east no less than In the west,
and we should have national parks In
every state where objects of scientific In
terest and wonder abound, where passages
of remarkable scenic beauty unfold, and
where men congregate for rest and health.
Were Niagara a national park, Instead of
a state reservation, there would be an
end to the . annual scandals that pertain
to the struggles of power companies to di
vert the torrent, and were our Adiron
dacks patrolled by federal soldiers we
should hear the last of Illegal occupancy
of lands, of illegal damming and draining
of streams, of Illegal appropriation of fish
ing mid hunting tracts, of Illegal methods
In stage and railroad operation, and of
illegal removal of timber. The material
prosperity resulting from constancy In
water supply'means far more to this state
and nation than does that which Is gained,
for the moment, by the reckless deforesta
tion In vogue, since In spoiling the forest
the springs and rivers are also spoiled.
Apart from and above the commercial
considerations which propose the mainte
nance of the woods is that of preserving
for the whole public a system of national
parks where all citizens shall enjoy equal
Ity of privilege and opportunity, where the
extravagance of one class shall: not limit
or discountenance the rightful nlnn mifp or
another, where federal supervision of rail
roads, coach lines and hotels shall check
extortions and Injustices, and where every
reasonable effort shall be made to pre
serve the woods, lakes, waterfalls, fishing
streams, to build macadam roads, and
open fine points of view. What California
has done in respect of the Yosemlta is
done with a regard for the people, and
the like should be done by New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, North Car
ollna and other states. Parks will be
needed by the nation In the near future
as they are needed by the cities at the
present. Brooklyn Eagle.

prepared at the recent meeting of the three
metropolitans and a number of bishops,
that the church request the emperor to
summon in the spring from all Russia "a
council of the church" for the purpose of
revising the management of the church and
restoring the patriarchate of Russia. Sena

another general strike Is Imminent. A
large manufacturer in a neighboring town

after conferring with the leaders among
his workmen he was convinced that all
his .employes would walk out within a
month In spite of the manufacturer's as
surance that the employes would protlt
equally with himself by remaining to com

GETTING RICHA BAD HABIT
St. Loafs Millionaire Tells Chicago a
Few Wholesome Truths
About Money.
N. O. Nelson of St. Louis, a millionaire
against hla will, told a Chicago audience
these things about the rich and riches:
"Getting rich Is merely a habit a bad
habit.
"Wealth piles up a lead on the shoulders
of the captain of industry.
"Wealth Is a menace to children and
grandchildren who had no hand in its accumulation.
"There Is no comfort in living In a man
sion with hnlf a dozen servants.
"I saw a $200,000 mansion the other day,
built from the proceeds of a cotton corner.
"It will give the owner no comfort and
cost the livelihood of hundreds fit thou
sands of cotton mill operatives.
"You know and I know that the hardest
Job a man can have Is living up to a big
income.
"Try living with the poor. Hire a room
for $1.60 a week and ent 10-cent breakfasts.
It won't hurt you. The microbes of disease
are no more likely to harm you there than
in a steam-heated room for which you
would pay $3 to $5 a day.
"Now, I have ceased to take any divi
dends from our business. Although it is
operated in my name, the employes all get
dividends on their wages, amounting dur
ing the last ten years to from 4 to 10 per
cent. This goes toward buying an Interest
In the business and paying for houses, ex
cept three-tenths of It, which Is devoted to
philanthropies."
Mr. Nelson built the town of LeClalre,

a mammoth profit-sharing business with
4,000 employes.

PHILADELPHIA. April 3-Young Cor
bett of Denver and Young Erne of this
city sparred six rounds at the Washington
Athletic club tonight. Corbett was fat
and fought wildly, frequently misjudging
his distance and many of his blows landed
on the back of his opponent's head. Eriu.,
while active, was Timid and much of the
time was wasted In clinching and frt.gjrlng.
In the third round Erne was cut over
the eye and in the sixth Corbett's mouth
was bleeding. In the same round Corbett
rushed Erin' through the ropes. Erne
landed the greater number of blows. lie
Jabbed Corbett frequently and ran awav
from the swings of his opponent. Corbett
tried to stop Erne repeatedly and several
times countered on Erne's Jaw, but Lis
blows lacked strength.

"eggs show funny capers
Grocers Retail Hen Fruit Itf low the
Wholesale Price and Parkers
Are Br.
There are some things about the egg
market that would make you laugh. In
the first place, a few days ago the eggs
were selling at retail cheaper than they
were wholesaling. The honest grocers
were selling the crude material for Easter
manifestations for less than they could
buy It. This is what Is called a leader.
It leads people Into the Idea that every
thing In the store is cheap also. Of course
everything Is. The packing of eggs has
caused the market to react a little from
Its first low point and last week the whole
sale egg was about 16 cents. At the same
time a number of grocers were selling
them at lb cents. They had bought the
eggs before the price went up and were
willing to give (heir patrons the benefit
of it for the sake of the advertising.
Another humorous discovery In the egg
trade Is the fact that grocers In Council
Bluffs are giving 12'4 cents for eggs and
grocers In the surrounding towns are giving
15 cents. Besides doing away with the
superstition about eggs being cheaper al
ways In the country, It Is very nice for the
Council Bluffs citizen, but it does not at
tract the farmer.
Evaporated eggs, frozen eggs and egg
powder are a sort of poor relation to the
real, genuine egg in the original package.
They are largely due to the enre-free
manner In which the transporting agents,
mule team, railway car and delivery
wagon, break the shells. An egg may
come in looking like It had been at a col
ored picnic and still be an honest, useful
egg. As long It can keep Inside Its shell
It la good for something. Sometimes the
wounded are gathered up In this way and
spilled Into receptacles of a uniform size
and frozen. This Is largely the packing
house way. The customer takes the ice
pick and breaks off enough egg for the
scrambling machine. Egg powder or the
evaporated egg Is caused hy a process of
evaporation, which leaves the produce in
a dry and powdery form, which makes it
accommodate Itself nicely to a neat pack
age. Omaha does not make egg powder,
but Sioux City does.

LIMIT ON PAVING CAMPAIGN
Condition of Cltj'a Fund Will Not
Permit All that Is Being; Asked
by Property Owners.
"Not to exceed about $160,009 worth of
paving can be done In Omaha this year,"
says City Engineer Roscwater. "This Is
because the paving intersection bond fund
wll not take care of more than that amount
for the city. The proportion of paving
which the city has to pay for runs about
25 or 30 per cent. The money In the fund at
this time .will go only so far. . No more
can be obtained except by the sale of bonds
which must be authorized by popular vote.
Even should everything go smoothly, there
fore, the city wll not be able to do all the
paving that la demanded In 1906. Specifi
cations will be drawn giving the best and
fairest possible show for all contracts and
nothing left undone to secure the lowest
prices compatible with honest and enduring
work."
OMAHA, April S, 1906.
The market ehoweu un unusual uniform
ity with the close ot the week. 'itie hlgn
and low potr.is this morning were eiy
nearly those of Insi Saturoay. 'the May
wheal ranged between 1 U " ana ll.l-t
before noon and the July whs the same as
Fnuay. May corn ranged oeiween 47Se
and 4'tc belore noon and was 'c higher
for the low mam than Saturday. The
oats remained inactive. The wheat mar
ket was very quiet, with a very small
amount of trading, and the amount of
corn oitered the number of trades made In
the coarse grains were small. Cables sym
pathized with the American weakness, Liv
erpool declining from, 'Me to c and Ant
werp losing KfC. Liverpool declined on
corn '4c because of larger shipments than
expected.
The I'lilsbury Milling company Is quoted
as believing reserves in the northwest are
the smallest ever. That company says It
will want troin lO.iW.OuvU to U.mm.ouO bushels
of goixi old wheat to grind before the new
crop, even If business is moflerate. The
millers believe that there Is not enough
wheat In the northwest to keep the mills
running two-thirds capacity. The Minne
apolis stocks of wheat have decreased
150.0(10 bushels In two days. Bioomhall
cables the government figures on the Aus
tralian exportable wheat surplus Is S2,0),
011 bushels, or 2.ono,OuO bushels more than
had been expected. The world's ship
ments are 9,344,010 bushels, against 9.7ii4.(iO0
bushels the preceding week and 9.872.000
bushels last year. The on passage wheat
decreases 1,644,(10 bushels and the wheat
visible will decrease about 600,000 bushels.
From St. Louis comes a protest against the
Idea that wheat trades there are In No. 2
hard. It Is said not more than 28,000 bush
els has been traded under the new rule al
lowing the delivery of No. 2 hard, and that
all the large traders stick to No. 2 red.
It is said the ruling may te reversed, as it
Is not popular.
The corn visible supplies will decrease
About 1,1X10,0.10 bushels. The primary re
clpts of corn are 939,000 bushels, against
390.C00 bushels last year and the shipments
are 666.009 bushels, against 282,000 bushels.
The corn on passage has Increased during
the week by 736,000 bushels. The world's
shipments of corn are 3.540,000 bushels,
against 2.264.000 bushels the preceding week
and 2,209,000 bushels last year. The corn
receipts nt the principal market have not
dropped off much yet, but there Is plenty
of time. The Omaha receipts, 48 cars, are
the smallest In some time and show that
the last of the cheap corn Is passing out.
The present weather Interferes with fur
ther country movement of corn and also
with farm work, but It Is very helpful for
the winter wheat.

Charter Cripples Police Belief.
As matters now aland under the new
charter, no sale of prperty confiscated by
the police department or falling Into its
hands and remaining unclaimed. Is iik.'ly
until after the next ssslon of the iea;.
tslatuie. Formerly the law provided iliat
th proceeds of such sales should go to
the police relief fund, but In the new law
this claut"? somehow was lost in the shuf
fle. As the fund badly needs both this
and all the other' money It can get the
loss will be felt. Should the policemen
continue to put the mcney in the fund
and get the charter amended at the next
session of the legislature. It is not probable
that any protest would be raised.

At the stnrr ",iknvss characterized trad
ing in the wheat pit. Initial quotations on
July being down -VoNo at 8iiiS7,4C. The
preponderance of early news was bearish.
Prices at Liverpool were l4iild lower,
chiefly because world's shipments were
larger than expected and because of ii
letup In European si ot demand. The for
eign market was Influenced by continued
favorable crop reports in the American
wheat belt. Another factor that worked
well In the hands of local bears was the
report of large receipts of wheat at Minne
apolis and Duluth, the arrivals today at
the two points being 019 cars, against S94
on the corresponding day In l:. The pre
diction had been maoe that the first re
ceipts In April would show a material de
crease from those of a year ago. Influenced
by the large movement of these two grain
centers, longs offered to sell quite liberally,
both tv-re and at the northwestern mar
kets. The principal bearish factor, how
ever, was continued growing weather In
the west and southwest. Sentiment changed
suddenly on an official prediction of colder
weather through the west, with freezing
temperature In Kansas and Nebraska. Ac
tive covering bv shorts caused a quick ad
vance. July selling to o. Some damagn
reports telegraphed from western Kansas
helped to encourage buyers. The market
held firm the remainder of the session.
Julv closed at (Vuc Clearances of
wheat and finur were equal to 94.000 bu.
The amount on pnssage decreased 1.644,(10
bu. and the visible supply decreased 49O.0uO
bu. Primary receipts were 706,800 bu., com
pared with 575.000 bu. a year ago. Minne
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 540 cars, against 64s last week ami
413 a year ago.
Considering the number of bearish In
fluences that affected the situation, a com
paratively firm tone prevailed In the corn
market. Early in the day the market was
rather weak, influenced by n material In
crease In world's shipments and by liberal
local receipts. Weakness of whea't also
had a depressing effect. Shorts covered
freely on predictions of polder weather and
the market soon became firm. July opened
from He to VtUp lower at 47c to 47'nc,
sold up to 47 4714c and closed ut 4711c. '
Local receipts were 560 cars, with IS of
contract srade.
Trading in oats was fairly active. Follow
ing an easy opening, due to weakness of
other grain's, tne market showed consider
able firmness. Elevator Interests and shorts
were the best buvers. Julv opened a shade
to MKfi'Vo lower at 2913 29-V. sold up to
Z)c ond closed at 29W(29V. Local re
ceipts were 193 cars.
More Interest was manifested In provi
sions than has been In evidence for some
time past, tin active support from pack
ers, the market become decidedly strong
after an easier opening resulting from a
decline In the price of live hogs. At the
close Julv pork was up 25c at 12.97Vj. lard
was up 20'ijc at $7.35 nnt ribs were 25c
higher at 7.25.

"In Belgium we burn alcohol, In America
you drink It," said Albert von Scheele, In
commenting upon the organization of the
new Amnrlcan-Belglum chamber of com
merce, for which a charter was issued in
Chicago.
"The emperor of Germany lights his
palace with alcohol, and the German rail
way stations are lighted with It," he said
fuith.r, "and In many ways it Is the
cheapest and best of Illuminating com
pounds. "The purpose of our .new organization is
to bring about a closer bond of unity be
tween this country and Belgium, not only
In a business and commercial resect, but
In the matter of literature, music, and
art.
"I think the people of each country have
much to learn from one another. In the
matter of alcohol alone the Americans can
learn a new use for a substance that Is
now used extensively only as a drink, and
It Is for that reason that the new cham
ber of commerce will support the bill In
troduced by congressman Boutell, call
ing for the removal of the tux on alcohol
sold for commercial purposes."
Mr. von Scheele was special agricul
tural commissioner from Belgium to the
St. Louis exposition, and has filled a num
ber of other important positions under
the Belgium government. Chicugo Inter-Ocean.
