Upon rolling golf links, well roomed aa a city lawn, which wretched away from Forest Hill, upon the nut- eklrts of this city, was a tall, apare man yesterday furiously driving a golf ball before him. . Attired In cool flan nela. a golf cap and keenly following the course of his game, he moved acrosa the links. Despite the heat he seemed to i be coolly getting the best or the game; he did not even perspire. That man waa John D. Rockefeller.

The man who atood upon the links thla ' afternoon did, not look to be aev-enty-one yeara old, nor did he look aa though hla aliouldera bore the burden of one of the greatest Individual fortunes In the world. The brown-skinned face of the "bil lionaire" la criss-crossed by hundreda of tiny wrinkles. Hla eyea are watery blue, but direct and keen.

Mr. Rockefeller was aaked to give his vlawa upon the eld time toplff of "chancee for American boya." The multl-mllllonalre exponent of gold held up a deprecating hand, saying that he had already discussed that subject, but. after some persuasion he resumed bis discourse: "Business and financial condltlona today offer opportunities, for1 bright, ambltloua boya Just tha eame as such opportunities uere offered thlriy, forty or fifty yeara ugo. But, 1 for cne. am glad there are no prescribed rulea that would allow every boy to become a millionaire. A great fortune haa Ita duties and It Imposes a burden not realised upon him who haa to bear It. Tha ordinary man and woman does not realise the trerrendous moral and business damage that can be done by wealth in the hands of an irresponsible person. "Conditions are made by those who live under them. If the young men of today complain, they have no one to blame hut themselves. But there Is no caute for complaint. The young man who attenda to lila spiritual duties, who accounts for every penny he earns and spends, ho works hard and who takes advantage of every oppor tunity that presents Itself ts bound to set along.

Oreenleaf, a mining engineer of Omaha, haa discovered a placer In the Sunlight camp, forty miles from Cody, which Is said to be unique In the history of mining. The gold Is not found in the customary black or garnet sand, but coats the gravel and porous, nonmlnerallxed rock of a blanket some four feet In depth, DUO feet wide and 2.6DO feet long. This gravel and rock runa W00 to the ton and a treatment similar to quarta Is required. Jt is the mining engi neer's theory that the deposit has been made by the action of sulphuric gas. But whatever Ha origin, It la unlike any known placer deposit and is In violation of all geological facts and mining traditions. The ground had been located and aban doned by nearly every prospector In the country for the reason that they Invariably worked below the four-foot blanket with its rich Intervening values. Machinery has been ordered and will be . Installed - aa quickly as possible. It Is owned by Mr. Oreenleaf and Floyd Co man of Cody.

The' mayor has expressed an entire lack of interest in reports of movements to make him governor, and has several times denied that his authorization has been given to such activities.

At meeting of the Interstate Commerce commission the coming week that body will decide to sua nend. pending examination, tha general In creases of freight rates which have been filed with the commission recently. These increases of rates cover the most Important territory of the United Statea from a rail road and commercial standpoint. ' They cover tha east, the region north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi and tha middle west. Most of them go into enect August i or thereabouts. i A question haa been raised whether the qotomlsBlon .would exerclee ita authority under 'the law ln,Viii?fj VwS? 'as tt rhak aweeping suspension of the general freight rate increases.- Thla question has been accentuated especially by the ' statement given out from Beverly, following tho re cent conference between I'reeident Taft and Chairman Knapp. Following that confer tnce It was given out that the commission was going to administer the law In con scrvative fashion and was going to auspend increased ratea only In exceptional cases, Thla was seized on in many quarters as meaning that many of the general increases which the roads had decided- on would not be suspended and that part of them would be allowed to go Into effect. It is stated now on the best of authority that the commission expects to suspend the general rate Increases and that whatever was given out at Beverly was not to be construed aa meaning otherwise, so far as the proposed general Increases are con cerncd.

(Special. )-Thoe who attended the democratic county con ventloh hem Saturday witnessed rca! tragedy when Mr. Bryan read old-time aders out of the party loaders who fought for the principles of democracy when he waa still a stripling and who fought without reward or expectation of reward. Thena men nindo no attempt to conceal their deep feeling when the Idol they had reared up and worshipped for so many years closed the door ut tholr parly against them. They realised that in this campaign at least they e-an no longer hon orably be within the ranks, for their leader decreed that tho principles they honestly oppoxe are the principles for which the party muHt stand. He not only read them out of the party, but upon their backs ts burned the brand of Cain and to all the publlo he held them up as agents of tha brewers and the liquor Interests, and the evidence is that they are not In favor of the democratic slate convention endorsing county option. "t shall make no minority report," raid T, J. Doyle, a member . of the resolutions committee,' "though I voted no on the proposition to endorse county option and Instruct our delegates to vote for IL" That waa all this old war-horae said when the resolutions were put through the com mittee and throughout the proceedings Mr. Doylo sat dumb. P. L.

Johnson, head of the Traveling Men's Bryan club In 1 90S the man who spent his time and pioney work ing for the election of Mr, Bryan that tho principles for which He fought might be en acted Into law. M. L. Blackburn, a life long democrat,', sat next to Johnaon. Ho spoke once. That was to-request a roll call on Mr. Bryan's resolution to endorse county option. Then there waa John Keenln, a stalwart from the country, who told of the growth of democracy In his precinct because of the belief In democratic principles and of the foreign-born clUssns who oppose county option, but who always stood for the principles of the old party. He, with his neighbors, were driven out. . And so on down the line to T. J. Jonas, another coun try delegate. ..''.,. Then J. H. Harley, a tlghlng democrat, argued and pleaded, but to no avail. There la no place In the Uryn democratic party for him. He told the convention what county option in the platform would mean. He said: n ; ."It meana that John Magulre will stay home from congrtss, "It means the defeat of a democratic x cutive. 1 "It means Horace Bishop will leave his' place at the asylum and return to his former vocation." But Mr. Harley could not stem the tide. Mr. Bryan charged the brewers with hav ing defeated him for the presidency or con. ' trlbuted to his defeat and the day of reckoning Was at hand. And in the place of the militant demo crats who have been kicked out of the party, Mr. Bryan has taken In W. R. Pat lick; he is consorting with Frank Hani son, the man who abused him so a few month ago for Joining the Eagles, and some republicans who may or may not vote his ticket. Official Organ Denounced. Mr. Bryan denounced his official oraan aa being untruthful and he defied them all to turn mm oown a a candidate for a place on the delegation to the state con vention. The ola war horses were not only read out of the party and the things they advocated denounced as unclean, but mey were torcea to listen to Patrlcw tell of his conversion from republicanism to democracy and of the great fight he was matting against the brewers and his state ments that they spent MO.OOO to dofeut him for a auat In the state senate.
