Notwithstanding the march of civilisa
tion anai the elimination of the western
frontier, there are still vast stretches of
territory In the west that are now passing
through a stage of development that we
are accustomed to think of as associated
with the epoch between the landing of the
pilgrims and the surrender of Yorktown.
The Isolated cabin In a tiny clearing In
the heart of the forest primeval; the
brorised and hardy settlers that begin to
feel crowded and lacking In elbow room
if any neighbors move within twenty
miles of them; the backwoods settlement,
with its little log schoolhouse that also an-
, swers the purpose of a church, or "meetin
i house; and the old fashioned stage coach,
such as used to form almost the sole re
liance of travelers In the davs when rail'
roads ' and locomotives and trolley cars
were unknown and undreamed of; all
there seem anachronic and strangely out of
place In , this era of steam and electricity
and air ships and wireless telegraphy.
(They seem to belong to the past, when
no one was ever In a hurry, when people
loitered in the shady byways of life, when
Stock tickers, telephones, frensled flnanoe
and rapid fire lunch counters would have
been regarded as direct emanations of the
spirit of evil. Nevertheless, they are
' all In existence today, and are accepted as
Inevitable commonplaces over portions of
this progressive republic large enough to
make eastern states, or to be erected Into
- ISuropean principalities and empires.
The old Concord stage coach that made
nany exciting trips across the great plains
Is now preserved as one of the priceless
treasures of the Smithsonian Institution,
let Its counterparts still do duty every
day In the year, and some of the super
annuated drivers of the Overland route,
between points on the Missouri river and
the California gold fields are manipulate
tag the brake and "pouring leather" as
ffloiently today as they ever did in the
breve days of old, when white bandits and
red marauders hovered like vultures over
the trail of the bold adventurers who were
pushing westward to the land of gold.
There are still hundreds of stage routes
throughout the west where this mode of
travel, that Is often unthinkingly spoken
of as "obsolete," Is the only one available.
TJa roads are Just as rough, the drivers
as reckless and profane, the scenery as
wild and magnificent, the Indiana as
fJctureeque, It not quite so bloodthirsty,
and the stations and road houses Just as
primitive and their accommodations as un
aatl.."aetncy as they ever were in the past
Ti-oa, the likelihood of a holdup Is not quite
so Imminent aa It was in the days of the
OverlaAd, but It is still among the possi
bilities, occurring. In fact, much more fre
quently than managers of the stage lines
car to acknowledge. No driver through
the mountains and Bad Lands ever mounts

shooters are In perfect working order; and
the tales told by some of these knights of
the whip and reins If not always vera
ciousare sufficiently thrilling to cause
the . average tenderfoot to round every
butte and rocky point with his heart In
his mouth and his ears strained In an
ticipation . of the harsh command:
"Hands up." A trip with one of these
romancing stage drivers Is well worth all
It costs In time and money. It might well
supply Inspiration for a dozen blood curd
ling -nelodrames, or for a whole library
of "Deadwood Dick" and "Alkali Ike"
novels.
Moeh-Tra veled Routes.
Probably the most traveled stage routes
now In commission are those reaching the
new gold mining camps of Nevada. Most
of these are of very recent origin
brought into existence by the sudden de
mand from eager Argonauts for reason
ably quick and not too expensive trans-'
portatlon to the mushroom cities of the
Sagebrush commonwealth.. Then many of
the famous resorts of Colorado, Utah, Ari
zona. California and other states are
reached only by stage coaches. However,
there are .' Innumerable stage lines de
pendent upon neither gold seekers nor
sightseers for patronage. Along the
routes of these the passage of the dally
or bi-weekly stage Is an event of the first
Importance. It Is the one link that binds
the settlers, ranchers and timber cutters
to civilisation. If they want to go down
to purchase dry goods, groceries or liquid
cheer. It provides the means. It carries
the mall, brings In the news and gossip
and conveys the few passengers that find
their way to these Isolated and half-forgotten
lodges In the wilderness.
A trip over any one of a score of stage
routes that might be named In Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho, Montana or the Dakotaa
might well supplement uny man's educa
tion. To traverse these vast wildernesses
that still remain untouched by the hand of
man gives one a conception of the vast
ness, the Immeasurable possibilities, the
uneomputed resources of this grand repub
lic that cannot be gained from census re
ports, from whole libraries of statistical
Information or from railroad trips, even
though they extend from ocean to ocean.
When one has traveled by stage, with time
for the reception of vivid and unfading
impressions, and for reflection upon the
significance of what he sees, through a
stretch of country large enough to give a
loo-acre farm to every tiller of the soil
In the state of Pennsylvania, and rich
enough to support the population of New
York city, without seeing a human habita
tion or a sign of human occupation, un
less it be a flock of sheep or a bunch of
cattle grazing on soma distant hill or
valley, he loses all fear of America be
coming overcrowded and the Immigration
question loses much of Its sinister aspect.
Wyoming's Leas Raa.
The longest stage route In America Is
that traversed by the Rawlins-Lander
stage line of Wyoming. After one has
clung to the seat of a Rawlins-Lander
stage f..r the three days required to make
ths 150-mile trip, he feels that he knows
something about stags coaching not as a
sport or preliminary to a summer day's
outing, but as a phase of the stern and
strenuous business of life. His Ideas of
geography and of the resilience of human
bona and muscle wHl i both be revolution

gulches, bowling past Irrigated farms and
ranches that blossom like veritable cor
ners of the Oarden of Eden, skirting the
edge of picturesque Indian villages from
which stolid braves, bashful squaws and
shy pappooses gaze forth In mild curi
osity; skating on two wheels over the
"hogback" (a razorback hog at that, one
thinks), thirty-five miles before the Jour
ney's end, and Anally winding up with a
grand flourish (and a feeling on the part
of the passengers of profound gratitude
that no bones are broken) In the sleepy
hamlet of Lander, the four-horse stago
coaches make their dally trips with a reg
ularity, an Indifference to wind and weather
and a fidelity to schedule that many an
eastern railroad might copy with profit
to Its stockholders and benefit to the peace
of mind of Its patrons.
Lander In Its Glory.
Lander's chief claim to fame and Im
portance hitherto has rested on the cir
cumstance that It Is the reservation town
of the Wind River, or Shoshone, Indian
reservation, only a short distance from
Fort Washakie, where a contingent of
I'ncle Sam's soldiers are posted to keep
the copper colored wards of the govern
ment on their good behavior and Inci
dentally to see to It that the cattlemen
aud sheep owners of Wyoming refrain from
fencing In the public domain and from
pasturing their flocks and herds on the
lands of the Indiana. The nearest railroad
points to Fort Washakie and Lander -are
Casper, on the Chicago and Northwestern,
and Rawllngs, on the Union Pacific each
distant fully 150 miles. Any one wanting to
visit either the fort or the reservation
must, perforce, travel by stage from Rawl
lngs or Casper. If Casper Is the starting
point, the traveler must change stage lines
at Round Hill, 75 miles out; but If the
start Is made from Rawlins, the same line
will see him through to the Journey's end.
Next to the ranches, Indian villages,
stage stations and reservoirs for water
ing stock, the most interesting sights of
the trip are the freighters' outfits. These
consist of three or four heavy freight
wagons, each drawn by four or six horses,
and a "gooster." The "gooster" Is the
residence of the freighter. It Is a light
two or four-wheel wagon, containing the
bedding and household goods of the
freighter, and generally his wife and his
complement of children. Not even the
gypsies are so constantly on the move as
arc the freighters of Wyoming, who plsy
a highly Important part In the economic
life of the people of the more isolated por
tions of Wyoming snd other western states.
Freighting from Rawlins to lender costs
! cents a pound, although to enforce that
rate the freighters went through a long
utrike last fall. It goes without saying
that prices In Lander are high. In a few
more weeks, however, all this will bn
changed. Some time soon ths, Chicago at
Northwestern Railroad company's exten
sion will be completed from Casper tq
Lander, and ths traveler will then 'be able
to make In a few hours the trip that now
requires three long and wearying .days.
The end of the Rawlins-Lander stag ,1a,
therefore, easily foreseen. It may drag on
for a few months, or even years, more, up
held by Sunset and other hamlets too far
distant from the railroad for convenience;
but It must eventually go the way of the
Overland, of the stages that used to cross
the Alleghenles from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg and "frontier" towns In the Ohio val
ley. Land Waaler Plentiful.
- Nevertheless, In these last days of Its
existence the Rawlns-Lander stage line
enjoys a greater patronage than It aver
did la the past. Oa July I the registration

opened for the" dawing of 1,500,000 acres
of land now Included in the Wind River
reservation. The opening of this prin
cipality to settlement will transform
Lander from a sleepy backwoods hamlet
into a hustling western city; and. In
anticipation of coming events, hundreds
of prospective participants In. the govern
ment land lottery are already making
the three days pilgrimage over the stage
route to the heart of the new land of
promise.
The state of Wyoming now has a corps
of engineers at work planning irrigation
systems for all the land susceptible of
cultivation; and the national government
Is at work on a similar proposition for
the Irrigation of the lands already allotted
In severalty to the Indians It will,
therefore, not be long until this corner
of the wilderness Is made to blossom into
one of the garden spots of the west. It
may be that the settlement of so large
a portion of the Wind River reservation
will prolong the life of the stage line in
definitely; but when it passes, the longest
remaining stage routes In the west will
hardly exceed 100 miles In length. Of
these there are still many In existences
and doubtless will be for half a century
to come, or until the transmlssourl re
gion is grldlroned with steel and peopled
by millions like the older communities In
the east Brooklyn Eagle.
PUT DEVIL FISH TO SLEEP
Layer of Salt on His Tall ladacea
Drowsiness Novel Transfer
Scheme.
The steamship Bermudlan arrived In New
York recently with a consignment of ten
tanks containing 290 specimens for the New
York aquarium. The trip was the most
successful ever made, the flsh hunters never
figuring on losing less than 2 per cent of
the catch, but on this trip only one death
occurred on board, that of a huge cowfUh.
A three-foot octopus, vigorous and
healthy, was the prize of the lot. As a
general thing, it has been Impossible to get
an octopus out of Its tank without literally
tearing It apart. The monster has to be
caught unawares, for If the devilfish s-es
his captors make any attempt to touch h m
he affixes the suckers of four tentacles to
the bottom of the ' tank and raises the
other four defiantly. A struggle ta dis
lodge frequently ends In the octopus being
dismembered.
On this trip, however, a happy Idea en
tered the brain of the devilfish keeper. He
decided ' to put salt on Its tall, or, more
literally. In Its gill. This was done while
the octopus seemed to drowse, and when
tha specimen "came to," It found itself In
an aquarium tank. The' salt, those who
know say, when breathed in through the
gills puts the flsh Into an unconscious con
dition, acting as an anaesthetic.
The greatest enemy of the devilfish Is the
spiny lobster. A tank of these was placed
alongside the tank of the octopus. Intui
tively the occupants of the two tubs knew
of each other's proximity, and they became
so restless that they were separated. Be
sides the devilfish and the lobsters, there
were coneys, sturgeon, angel flsh, four
eyed flsh and other Bcrmudian specimens.

SOME LIMITS OF THE LAW
Let-iilation Cannot Aocompluh All the
Fore Food Reforms.
MUNICIPALITIES MUST CONTINUE VIGILANT
Too Much Reliance oa the National
Government May Cause Disap
pointment Demand for the
Government Label.
The probabilities are that tha people of
the United States will expect too much
of the new meat inspection law, and will in
time express disappointment because It has
not brought all the results looked for.
Possibly the Same thing may .be said of
the pure food law. Government officials
observe a widespread tendency among the
people everywhere to assume that because
congress passes a corrective law evils com
plained of will all be speedily corrected
by the legislation. Students of this ten
dency of the people toward the paternal
Idea suggest that sooner or later the in
habitants of this land will have to come
back to tha old-fashioned doctrine that
they must take care of themselves. The
nftw meat Inspection law, and the new
purs food law will help, but they will not
do It all. The danger Is that states snd
municipalities will sssume that the gov
ernment has relieved them of responsibil
ity and will cease to exercise their own
functions properly.
Agents of the Department of Agriculture
who have been going about ths country
doing some work preliminary to the en
forcement of 'the meat law And the general
Impression to be that after the meat In
spection law goes Into full erect, every
piece of meat which leaves a packing
house or slaughter house In tha United
Ststes will bear a brand or label, "U. B.
Inspected and Passed." Even state and
municipal authorities In some parts of the
country are already proceeding on the as
sumption thst they have nothing more to
do with seeing that the people they serve
sre provided with wholesome meats. Evir
dently It - will take the country a good
while to realize that the Inspection law
applies to meats designed for Interstate
or foreign commerce only. Maybe, In time,
federal Inspection will reach meats and
meat products not designed for Interstate
or foreign commerce by consent;. It will
not reach such products this year, snd
possibly not for several years.
Demand for Government Label.
' Government officials believe that the In
evitable effect of the law eventually will
be a demand from consumers that all the
meat they purchase shall have the gov
ernment stamp on It. When the act goes
into effect the llrst of October every piece
of dressed meat, every ham, every pack
age of bacon, every can of lard, every
package of meat food products, ' In fact,
every article of food of which meat forms
a part, whether In a barrel, box. can or
canvas sack, must hear the government
stamp before a railroad will accept .It for
shipment for, a point outside the stte In
which It wss prepared. Presumably the
output of the Urge peeking houses will
all be Inspected and labeled without (any
inquiry as to whether the product iV to
bo shipped out -of the state In which 1 tha
establishment Is located. The oplnlnri Is

with the enforcement of the law that the
big establishments will not be disposed
to separate the product deslrjwd for' In
terstate commerce from that designed for
the trade within the state In which the
pack Ins house Is located. t ,thla turns out
to be the effect of the practical working of
the law It will be possible for the people
of a particular state to get government
stamped meat from a packing house sit
uated within that state: to put It another
way, they will not get any other kind If
the packing house Insist on their entire
product being stamped.
At the outset. Secretary Wilson points
out, there will be two classes of packing
houses or slaughtering houses In this coun
trythe houses that put their products into
Interstate commerce, and therefore must
have government Inspection, and the
houses that do a local business only, and
do not have to have government Inspec
tion. If, as some of the government offi
cials believe, the public will refuse to take
meat or meat products that do not bear the
government label, the houses that do only
a local business will have to obtain govern
ment inspection or go out of business. It
will take time, the government officials
say, to determine what the effect of the
law will be. In the meantime states and
cities have their duties to perform Just
aa though the congress had not enscted a
meat Inspection law. .It Is pointed out that
most of the Urge cities are largely supplied
from local abattoirs. It will be for munici
pal authorities te keep sn eye on those
establishments If they want to be sure that
their people are to get wholesome meat and
meat products. Possibly the federal In
spection never will be extended to these
purely local Institutions, and so. the depart
ment suggests that It behooves local au
thorities to be more vigilant than ever be
fore. .
Interstate Rnslaess.
The last census found 28 meat packing
establishments In the United States. It is
estimated that the number has Increased to
1,100 or 1.100 since 1900. - It la assumed that
most of these establishments do an Inter
state business snd will therefore have to
have government Inspection If they wish
to maintain sn Interstate trade. Bo far
only about ISO establishments have applied
for Inspection. The bureau of animal In
dustry looks for a rush to "get on the band
wagon" as soon as the packers who have
not made application discover that their
products are shut out of Interstate com
merce and that the public Is refusing to
buy meat that does not have the govern
ment stamp on It. In tha meantime Secre
tary Wilson proposes to keep up his per
sonal Investigations. During the last week
he slipped out of Washington leng enough
to have look tnrongh several establish
ments, and he has planned to make thees
little excursions whenever the routine work
In his office will permit. He Is making
clear that every packing establishment that
puts Its products Into interstate commerce
must submit to Inspection. An encourag
ing feature of the situation is tha favorable
attitude of the railroads. Most of the large
systems have voluntarily announced that
they will assist In the enforcement of the
law by refusing to accept for shipment to
a point outside the state In which ths
product originated meat or meat products
that do not bear the government label.
While the department has every reason to
believe that the roads propose to act In
good faith, government inspectors will see
to It that there sre no violations of the
law.
It is believed the immediate effect of
the etiforcement'of the new law will be the
restoration of the foreign trade, which has
experienced a remarkable slump since

President Roosevelt sent the Nelll-Reynolds
report to congress. The greatest falling off
has beea In canned meats. A representa
tive, of the Chicago packers who was here
the other day to confer with Secretary
Wilson said the concerns In that city had
lost 70 per oent of their ' foreign trade In
canned goods within the last three months.
Few canned goods are being put up, ho
said, except such as are required to flU
foreign contracts that were made before
the "meat scandal" broke out. Secretary
Wilson Is as deeply Interested in the- res
toration of the meat Industry In Europe
aa any of the packers, and he Is deter
mined to force the ISuropean governments
to recognise the efficiency of the American
meat Inspection law. Every European gov
ernment has Its agents over here watchr
ing the progress toward effective govern
ment Inspection. Most of these agents
have, by direction of their ' governments,
recently visited the packing bouses in Chi
cago, Kansas City and other plaoes. Lieu
tenant Colonel Hobbs pf the British army
has just completed an exhaustive Inspec
tion of the big packing plants. This gov
ernment has not received any intimation as
to what his report will contain. He was
sent here' after questions were asked In
Parliament about the purchase of Ameri
can caned meats for the British army. Mr.

understood that as soon as the Inspection
law Is put In full operation the president
will officially Invite all foreign nations
that are or have been customers of the)

. Premise Ood Results.
Unquestionably both the meat inspection
law and the pure food law promise good
results, bot the government officials are In
clined to lay emphasis on the suggestion
that the public must not conclude t(K
there Is not something a great deal left
for the local authorities to do. The pure
food law. like the meat Inspection law.
applies only to products that enter Into In
terstate commerce. It really supplements
state food laws. It will be Impotent If
states cease to be vigilant, just as state,
authorities were handicapped by ths sb
sence of a federal law. Many of the states
have excellent food lawe. and have had for
years, but It was Impossible to get re
sults under such laws so long as Impure
foods, drugs and drinks could be shipped In
from other states. It Is pointed out that
with a federal law that will keep the bad
stuff out of interstate commerce states
have an opportunity to make their own
legislation count for something. It deveU
ops thst some of the state food laws are
In conflict with the federal law. It is as
sumed by the departoaenC that legislatures
will at the session, next January change
thtr food laws se as to make them con
form co tiie federal legislation In every
way -possible. The Important point Is. so
the government officials aay, that state,
county and city authorities will make a
mistake If they jump at tha conclusion
ttiat since congress has passed two laws
relating to pure food there Is nothing lefi
for them to do. Boston Transcript. .
