while New Mexico, with n population
of over ijn.OOO, contilhuted only n",
less than .t!t per l.flnii population, ns
cotnpaied with S.tifl per t.Ono lor tho
Dlstrh t of Columbia; 2.'" for Massa
chusetts, and i.47 foi New Yotk. Sig
nificant a are these comparison they
fall far slim t of howlns the actual
conditions, for I am sine that Invei
tigatlou will piove that n very Iiirge
peicentace of tho"u who died fiom
consuiuiitlon in the aild legions, con
tracted tho disease in the humid or
llastei n. statts and postponed mak
ing a change until too late.
"These flgincs and comparisons
demonstrate that In Aild America the
nation pose-scs. In Its vciy lieatt,
the grandest natural sanitarium In
the woild for tlioe afllicted with lung
or kludied tumbles. That being true,
1 ask fiom cither an eiononile, busi
ness or liumaultaiian standiioiut, In
what manner can the national gov
ernment lender tnoie valuable and
profitable servlie to Its citizens than
by mnklng toasonable, If not liberal,
iippinpilatloiix for Impiovomonts that
will confer such Inestimable benefits to
the entlie poople.as would the con

to waste'' ThH would make It possible
for those afflicted with lung trouble, as
well ns others, to come to Aild Amer
ica and puisne pleasant and profitable
outdoor oicupatlons, so essential to ic
galnlug health."
-Kodoiai aid Is demanded because
private enterprise has well-nigh ex
hausted Itself, and also because Inter
nal Impiovement is legitimately a gov
ernment function. As showing tho ne
ilcultuial possibilities In Irrigation,
Mr. Tanslll cited the development that
it had accomplished In the I'ecos val
ley of New Mexico. "Twelve years
ago," he said, "all of that legion save
a small area, was n pan of the Client
Anieiican Desert. The attention of In
valids wa, n isss, directed to tho
great possibilities of that valley under
litigation. Invalids lalsed and ex
penden theie $;,."no,fion upon one of tho
grandest and most complete 'li ligation
s steins in America. Since that time
piospcrous and populous titles have
been built and mote than ten millions
of dollai". have been invested in trans
foi mlng the desert Into one of the most
healthful, productive and beautitul
spots In the nrld regions, theieby af
fording the Invalid an opportunity to
acquit n home where life can be pin
longed and enjoyed, made possible by
In Igatlon."
The sanltaiy argument for li ligation
Is btoadcr than the Immediate tellef
held out to victims of tubeiculosls.
For that tellef It is not necessity to
go West. Outdoor cxciclse Is Just as
benefit lal heie as there. Hut litigation
means ie-foiestratlon and lo-toi estima
tion means aids to health for nil classes
of mankind. Hence li ligation will pay
doubly first as an Investment, pio
diicing Immediate piofltn; and secondly
as a benefaction, helpful to humanity
unto the temotest time.
It U very evident from the tenor of
the daily new that many yet hug the
delusion that might makes light.
Delightful Bird Books.
ONH OF THK things that Is pS.
peilally welcome In noting
the newer publications Is the
Ini-ieaso of popular books on
bird lore Mis Olive Thorne Millet's
"Seionil Hook ot Birds," Biadfoul Tor
iVs "Everyday Blids," and Frank M.
Chapman's "Bird Life," nie among tho
most dellRhtful of tho newer sumnur
publications.
It may be hoped that the Inlluence
of such hooks as these, all of which
with not a few otheis on bird lite nie
especially fatilnatlng to tho' young
people who aio so foituuato as to have
them bestowed on them, will help to
put an end to the uuel slaughter of
tho birds for "millinery" and "feather
trimmings." Tho young people who
ure now gi owing up have full oppor
tunities of learning hlid was and tho
Incalculable value of tho blids In sav
ing tho ctops fiom destiuctlou by mul
titudinous Inject enemies.
Young rcadeis now have tho oppor
tunity of learning the dimming ways
of the bird-people, nlbo, ns well as their
eiioinious valtio In tho economies of
niituie. It Is to be hoped, and with h
good degieo of expectation, that tho
Rnotntlons now giovvlng tip will so
lenin tho valtio of tho birds In every
way In the economies of nattiio, as wol'l
as tho charm of the lives of the drill
zuns of air, that to each and every In
dividual of these generations the wear
Ins of a dead bltd or Its plumage will
be a thing as Impossible as "tho wear
Ins of n scalp after a former red In
dUn fashion."
The hooka we here mention are speci
mens of a class of books growing alike
In number nnd In deserved popularity.
But theie may he many mote of them.

One Idea of DeuOey
at the Pan-American
'pHKY HAVR been trying to do
something with the Art Uallery In
the way of ventilation other than
skyward. When windows open only
low aid the sun there days It Is apt to
be bad for the people who have to be
tinder the windows; roiicn,uently It Is
asserted that tho cool thadowa of Alt
Nuremberg and Pabst's gardens on the
.Midway nie more attractive now than
the utmost faclnations of Art as ob
served in tho galleiies. Somehow tho
classical effects of high pillared walls
and a tow roof a la Parthenon, does
not soem to appeal to the summer visi
tor ns much as windows opened wldo
to the lake breezes. Consequently clas
sical outlines and symmetry utc likely
tn be Micilflccd to air.
This Is tho week when n decision ns
to met It of plctuies and statury In to

Soon aftcrwaid the membeis of the
committee will take a ttlp abtoad for
their health.
o
It Is In galleiy r. that the beautiful
laud.sc.ipcs of Ohailes C. Curran, arn
exhibited. "In the Sunset r.low" Is onu
of the most pleasing lu the group, all
of which arc so llavvless. It Is hero
also that the woik of Mrs. ICvelyn Rum
sey Caty, of nuffalo. Is nwt evident.
This Includes the poster "the Spit It of
Nlagaia." a misty figure with out
stretched aims defining the American
Falls. .Mis. t'aiy has been one of the
foiemost pioinoters of the exposition
and her Ideas of decorative art nto
exemplliled In the charming Interior of
the Woman's ltulldlng. Her poitrnlt
woik seems to leave something to be
deslted.
William A. Coffin, who Is the director
of the art gallery, nnd l nsslstcd by C.
C. Citrian. has two line pictures In this
division. "A Rainy Day" which by tho
way is owned by II. C. Frlck, of Carne
gie fame, nnd "Winter In Pennsyl
vania." It Is near thcr-e that a tiuly wonder
ful group of plenties by the Peruvian
aitlst. Albeit Lynch. Is hung. I hope
that nobody who goes from Scranton
will fall to see them There ate four
and they have a peculiar beauty whleh
will haunt you to the end of jour days
a pleasant memory, fair to cheilsh.
The "Jeanne D'Arc" Is something won
derful, the clear gleam of the gold on
the helmeted golden bend, and the
slight, mailed tlguie kneeling with up
lifted hands In the radiance of a light
that never was on land or sea. Tho
aitlst has a marvellous touch In por
ttaylng metallic tints and the softness
of fur, two htiongly opposite subjects.
The poitrnlt of "Fne Pnilslcnno" la
certainly a Joy forever, the exquisite
face, painted In the loveliest of llesh
tints and the i Ich sable furs and the
violets, make her a symphony In brown
and mauv e.
Hero, too. Is "An April Shower" a
most characteilstlc plctuie by Percy
Moian, while over one entrance Is a
canvas of modciate j-lze which fixes
the glittei in? eye of every man who
enteis tho loom for It Is the famous
'Toit-yth Fight" by Fiedeilck Rem
ington a truly "hluggy" battle scene
whole hioncos In nil the miraculous at
titudes which that favoilte artist loves
to portiay ate mixed up moe-t Inex
tricably with whooping Indians and
shooting soldiers. How men do love a
s-crap, to be muc.
Very near to It Is the Zogbaum ma
rine ".Manila Hay," which has such a
reputation, as it inntalns an excellent
portialt of Dewey on the bridge of his
vessel. They do sax , those people who
know everything, that If ever men had
giouped thembelvcn In these "look
pleasant please" poses In such gay and
icckless fashion In fiont of things
mound that flag ship, the whole lot of
them. Dewey and all, would have been
blown Into the tlimainent by their own
guns; lint It docs make a tine blue
and sllveiy picture and Dewey does
look so brave and contented with the
situation that the artist shouldn't be
etitlilsed by people who stayed at
home and never saw a sea light In
their lives.
o
Just below the Jogbaum painting me
two tathcr disgusting subjects by A.
H. Davles, I don't believe you want to
see them so I t-hall not tell a word
about their style. The wonders of It Is
why a man who can paint so well
should select suth unlovely inspira
tions. A gioup of four pictutes wll interest
all slght-secrs whethei or not .they nre
famlllnr with J. O. Brown's ait. In
the list Is Included the celebiated
"Heels over Head." the reproductions
of which are so familiar that every
body knows the little chaps of the
sttect In their spoits. The other three
arp not portraits of gamins hut on the
contrary, aie old ladles of the Htcrn
Mar Wllklns' type. "What Say?" Is
one who hat. her hand to her ear, ask
ing for a tepetltlon of a remark by
some body Invisible to the on-lookers.
Tho expiesslon of tho wilnkled counte
nance it- capitally done. "Oosslps" and
"Quilting" aie similar In character.
Ceclle de Wontworth has a lather
remaikable painting In the extreme in
the corner. "L'n O rge a Salute Gene
vieve." The beautiful old altar, the
dim rich, Inteilor of the church and
tho pathetic figuies are strangely fascl
natlng. II. C. P.

Do not spend your money foolishly
becauso you have so llttlo of It. but
rave what you can fiom month to
month nnd Invest It In something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laboring
m-n n generation ago and they pur
sued this couto while moat ot their
comrades blew it nil In. Tho pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a 'good
thing, thnt tho world hud to havo
It, and they bought coal land. a. little,
nt a tlmo us they could sparo It, and
It has made them licit, nnd their fa in I.
lies live and will live In tho gteatcst
comfort, while the descendantn of
their imprudent eomrndes Rro labor
ing ns their fathers did for das'
wages.
Keep this oblect lesson In mind.
Tho opportunities of that earlier tlmo
were In coal, today greater opportanl
tles exist In oil, which Is fuel In a
more conctcte form and Is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
nnd cheaper to mine and handle, and
Is, besides being a more economic
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California la furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retarded The entire Pacific toast
will consume oil as a fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia Is unlimited. California oil
lefiners will hold the markets of tho
far Kast and of the west coast nf
South America. It Is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
be the source of Incalculable wealth,
far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been in the past.
All thoughtful tmn can see that tho
tldng to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav.
Ing Inrge holdings of undoubted oil
lands seemed at low prices, and only
requiring development to become tho
source of enormous te venues for
shoreholders.
Tho PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
Oil. COMPANY has In the most Im
portant oil fields managers of ability
and Integrity and of tho highest prac
tical qualifications for their business,
and the shares of this company arc
today, without doubt, the best Invest
ment obtainable. Those shares would
be cheap at 40c. but nre selling for
the time being nt 20c per share, to
procure monev to bore the first wells.
The pi Ice Is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace w Ith tho developments
on the company's lands and on ad
joining lands. The market nlue of
the lands Is constantly advancing Do
not delay making an Investment in
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property and the character and
ability of its managers this company
refers, by permission, to the presi
dent of the Hroadway Hank nnd

The Tribune's
EDUCATIONAL CONTEST
This action is taker, for the puipose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $i,ooo to have purchased the first special
reward, as Ihe winning contestant had only secured for The
Tribune less than $400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect tne contestants that aie working so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perlectly
fair, and it wishes it distinctly understood that the rewards of
fered are in no sense for sale, but will positively go to the con
testants who secure the largest number of points, which will be
credited only (or new and legitimate subscribers.
The Special Rewards:
Scholarship in Lafayette College $1,000
Scholarship in Swarthmore College 1,000
Scholarship in Stroudsburg Normal School 675
Three Scholarships in Scranton Business
College, $60 Each 180
Two Scholarships in Scranton Conserva
tory of riusic, $75 Each 150
$3,005
Each contestant failing to secure one of these special rewards
will be given ten (10) per cent, of all the money he or she turns in.
