T some It is caned 4M> "Swltseriand of America." Trae, it has the ma­ jestic, snow-topped mountains crowd­ ed closely together, the glittering ice fields of glaciers, the sparkling little lakes lying cupped between the heights, and the magnificent forests of pine and fir. But not, as in Switzerland,, are there towns and hamlets and scattered cottages; the •visitor must gain the summits afoot or on horaeback, without the aid of "funicular" or cog railway; over and through and about it there are not the immense swarms of "trippers" that infest the old world country; hordes of guides do not dog your footsteps, and ravenous hotelkeepers are not found at every turn. Others have dubbed it "Uncle Sam's Newest Playground," and so it is, but it will not be that Very long. So some writer with a virid imagina­ tion must find a new name for the Glacier Nar Clonal Park. About 14,000 persons visited Glacier park last summer, and in the coming season it is probable fully twice as many will view its beauties and wpnders. Although as a national park it is only three years old, its name is already familiar in this country because of the extensive advertising it has received and of the enthusi­ astic accounts of those who have seen it; and it tieems destined to become one of the most popular regions for persons who like to spend their holidays in a some­ what unconventional way and at moderate expense. ^Occupying 1,400 square miles near the northwest corner of Montana, Glacier park is right in the heart of ^ the -Rockies and in the matter of mountain scenery it yields to no place. Dos- ens of magnificent peaks crowd the landscape, some towering to heights of more than 10,000 feet On the upper slopes of many of them shine the gla­ ciers <4.hat give the park i£s name, and from these everlasting beds of snow and ice are born scores of torrents that dash down the mountain sides and hurl themselves over tremendous cliffs. Scattered all about among the mountains are deep lakes that lie like burnished mirrors in the calm of a sunny day or are lashed into black rage when the storm •weeps down on them from the heights. ? Perilous passes, steep and rocky climbs, slip­ pery scrambles across glaciers and mileB of dense forest are there for those who like the more strenuous life. For the others there are automo­ bile, coach, launch and horseback trips, rest and recreation in an excellent hotel and delightful "chalet camps,** and always mellow days and cool nights. If one wishes to get away from hotel life en­ tirely he can have camping trips in the wilderness, and it is really wilderness, in which he can wander for weeks without seeing a human habitation. Big game is there in abundance--bears, mountain she«p, mountain goats and various kinds of "var­ mints"--but of course it is strictly protected by Ubcle Sam. But fish are there, too, especially trout, and the visitor is free to catch them if he can. Adding their own touch of picturesqueness are the Indians of the Blackfeet tribe, whose home Is in the reservation immediately east of the park. The usual entrance to the park is at its south­ east corner where, at Glacier Park station, is one of the most remarkable and. attractive hotels in the country. The main building is constructed largely of Immense logs from Washington and Oregon and the spacious lobby is flanked by these natural pillars which tower threei stories to the) roof- Enormous fireplaces, scores of pelts of wild animals and the heads of hiiffalo and deer add to the attractions; and more comfort and better food cannot be obtained in metropolitan hotels. Tour­ ists. guides and Indians mingle here, and for­ mality is discarded. I haven't the slightest • intention of writing a guidebook to the Glacier National Park, but I do wish to tell of some of its wonders and beauties that can be seen in a visit of a few days. So first let's climb into this big touring car and go to Lake St. Mary. Our chauffeur is a "breed," capa­ ble, courteous and well educated, who knows the country as you know your back yard. For some SO miles our route lies through the Indian reser­ vation and we skim along the boulevard road across sweeps of prairie, up hills and along the edges of precipices, now dipping down Into lovely valleys, now crossing rushing streams, with the mountains ever growing more imposing and more fascinating. Twisting up a long climb and swerv­ ing to the west, we come to the continental water­ shed near Triple Divide mountain. Thence the waters flow on one side to Hudson bay, on another to the Pacific and on the third to the Mississippi •alley and the gulf. This is truly the roof of the continent. Now for 16 miles the road runs through the great pine forests and winds gradually downward, on the slopes of the mountain, until with a loud honking our motor car draws up be­ side the charming log chalets of St. Mary camp that cling to the steep shores of the lake, whose waters sparkle and ripple under the midday sun. Dinner awaits in the biggest chalet--plain food, well cooked and plentiful, served by attractive waitresses. It Is eaten with a relish and without formalities, and then, after a few minutes in the "recreation" chalet with its player piano and dance floor, we all pile aboard a powerful gasoline launch and head up the lake for Golng-to-the-Sun camp. • On the right stretches the lohg ridge of Single Shot mountain, and on the left rise Citadel, Al­ ia ost-a-Dog (lovely name) and other fine peaks. But our eyes are fixed forward to. where Going-to- the-Sun mountain rears its magnificent snow- topped head. It is one of the most picturesque mountains in America, and h»n«jing near its sum­ mit is a large glacier whose stream, falling head­ long, is constantly blown upward into spray by the never ceasing winds. From the camp, built high on a promontory that projects far into thet ILLINOIS TREES ABOUT 150 DIFFERENT KINDS gjSji AT MUSEUty j* H * - STATE ARSENAL.

While we linger here marveling at the "upside down" waterfall, the vivid colors of the mountains and the ice-green lake spread at our feet, the sharp peak of Fusillade is veiled by clouds that pour swiftly over and about the nearer heights, and away up. there a snowstorm is raging. For us it Is rain, however, and driven to shelter, we crowd into the cabin of the launch and hustle back to St. Mary camp. From St. Mary camp the automobile road has just been extended some 20 miles to Many-Glacier camp on Lake McDermott. This place, in Itself fine enough, is the headquarters from which we make short trips to some of the park's greatest attractions--Morning Eagle falls, Cataract creek, Swift Current pass and, most wonderful of all, Ice­ berg lake. This little body of exquisite}^ blue war ter is almost wholly surrounded by serrated, splintered ridges that tower 3,000 feet above its surface. On a kind of shelf lies what Is left of the ancient glacier that scooped out this basin ages ago, and from its edges icebergs, large and small, are continually breaking off to go floating lazily about In the lake. Iceberg lake Is the habitat of the polar trout discovered by Hoke Smith, who says they have fur instead of scales. Now back to the Glacier Park hotel for mail and a little rest, for we are seeing the park in a lasy, leisurely fashion. And what next? Well, suppose we give at least one day to Two Medicine lake, a region that for Bheer beauty can hold its own with any in the park. The trip is made by stage in about three hours, and on the way up the lovely •alley we tie up the horses and are led through the forest to the Trick falls. Here in high water times Two Medicine river plunges over the edge of a mass of rocks down among huge boulders; but in the dry season it drops into a hole above and emerges more quietly through a cavern In the rocky wall. The mountain that especially domi­ nates Two Medicine lake is Rising Wolf, and it is almost as handsome as Going-to-the-SuU. Here, too, is another of those delightful chalet camps, and what with the view, the food and the air. It Is hard to tear one's self away from It. If there are any real fishermen In our party the best thing they can do is to go to St. Mary's camp again, and from there by trail to Red Eagle lake, three hours distant. This beautiful green lake, only a mile long and half a mile wide, is from 200 to 500 feet deep, and fairly swarms with cut­ throat trout, while in the streams that flow Into and out ot it the Dolly Varden trout is found In great numbers. These fish are good fighters and the angler who gets one on his hook and under­ takes to yank it from Its ice-cold home has a task that delights his soul. Since there is a stretch of shallow water in front of the camp, the fisherman often rides out on horseback to deeper water and there, still astride his steed, casts for the trout. The first time you sit on a horse and try to land a ten-pound cut-throat you will forget there is anything else on earth except that little lake sur­ rounded by a dozen" magnificent mountains, that horse and that trout. Being still somewhat averse to strenuous exer­ cise, we are now going to board the train at Gla­ cier Park station and ride luxuriously over the continental divide, in itself a trip well worth tak- ing. Alighting at the village of Belton, we have a delicious meal In the Great Northern's pretty Swiss chalet hotel and climb aboard a stage coach for the ride to Lake McDonald. For an hour we travel a boulevard cut through a dense forest of pine, spruce and balsam, and then, where a group of cottages are clustered on its shore, the lake opens out before us. This 11-mlle stretch of water is so beautiful, in setting and color, that no words are adequate to describe it. Lake McDonald was a popular resort long before the national park was established, and there are several hotels and camps about its northern end. To one of these, the Glacier hotel, we are taken by launch to be greeted cordially by its proprietor, J. E. Lewis, who for years has been taking care of fishermen and other folk who wanted to spend a week or a summer in the open. 80 near that it seems but a moment's walk from the shore, the mountains of the park tower to the skies, casting their Jagged reflections in the still waters of the lake. A ten mile ride through the forest. that clothes their lower slopes brings us to Avalanche lake. Pea green in color, reflecting the spruce and pine and hemlock that crowd to its very edge, it lies like a precious gem in a deep basin that is a veritable mountain garden. At one end the rock wall rises almost perpendicularly for 6,000 feet, and over its edge ard down its face dash four torrents dis­ charged from Sperry glacier, two miles away. Not very easy of access, but wonderfully impres­ sive when you get to it after some five hours of climbing, is Sperry glacier. Just a great field of ice and snow, about three miles in extent and of Unknown depth, it lies glittering and sparkling under the midsummer sun. Crevasses cross its expanse here and there, and the tourist must be exceedingly careful if he ventures out on its sur­ face. Indeed, the authorities do not permit this, unless with guides and ropes, on any of the gla­ ciers in the park. The wind is alwayp high up there, and snow and rock slides are frequent. The mountains and glaciers and lakes and passes we have seen are only a few of the wonders of this wonderful park--only a few, indeed, of that part that is open to ordinary sight-seers. AlmcBt half of the park, the northern part, Is known to few except forest rangers, guides, Indi­ ans and some scientists. Doubtless before many years the whole region will be opened up, and the remarkably satisfactory system of camps estab­ lished by the Great Northern Railway company will be extended to the Canadian border. Within the last year these accommodations have been en­ larged greatly to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing stream of visitors. N One more thing must be said tor Glacier Na* Hwiii Park: It is a pleasure ground for the peo pte, not for the millionaire. No fine clothes, nift expensive luxuries there. All charges are regu lated by the government, and it is the ambition of Louis Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern, to keep the necessary ex» penses of visitors down to the minimum. Glacier park is his hobby and his pride, and he is as familiar with its trails and passes as are the guides and the Indians. Of course, tourist travel to the park helps his railway, and at some time in the far future the company may begin to break even on its lavish expenditure ui muuvy io uiaka things comfortable for those who go all the way to Montana to see the Switzerland of America--I haven't yet devised a better name for it. FEW NOW CARRY UMBRELLAS ber protects the clothing from head t<^ foot and the wind cannot strip us of it. One of the chief functions of an um­ brella was. to keep the rain of the Raincoats, Soft Hats, Motor Cars and Street Cars Responsibly Their Disappearance. for • manufacturer says that fewer um­ brellas are manufactured in this coun­ try year after year. He gives many causes to snow why this shield against the wrath., of Jupiter Pluvius must eventually become extinct. Raincoats are helping to drive the mmbrella to the vail- Waterproof reh- beaver and silk hats of our fathers, but few, indeed, are the men who ap­ pear on the streets nowadays or in business houses under a high hat. The derby and a soft hat are less in need of protection from rain and snow, The automobile also plays an Impor­ tant part in displacing the umbrella. Thousands of persons who used to carry umbrellas sow tide directly from :w-; S®.:' their homes to their places of business when once they walked at least a part of the way. , Even a fourth cause may be noted for the passing of the umbrella, not to mention its proclivity for vanishing on account of the forgetfulness on the part of fen owner and extreme thought- fulness on the part of others. This fourth reason is the improved street car service as compared with the old- time horse car service. Electric cars are now the rule where the horse car was not known, and they -•tiki*.? move so frequently that people are willing to take a chance of getting wet Rather than incur the inconvenience of carrying umbrellas and the possi­ bilities of losing them or having them stolen many persons will take the risk of being caught in a shower, knowing that they can board a street car in an emergency.

They were given to the state museum by the Field museum. About one hundred and fifty different kinds of trees, na­ tive and cultivated, are included in the exhibition--a surprisingly large number. For example, among th^m are 14 different kinds of oaks, £uch as red oak. the scarlet oak, the black oak, the black Jack, the white oak, water oak, swamp oak, the burr oak, the post oak and others. The maples oc­ cur in variety and also the hickories, not to mention various other kinds of nut trees. A number of fruit trees, such as the crab apple, the cherry, the plum, are represented by several dif­ ferent kinds. Among others, there is a long list of trees with hard shining leaves, which do not fall during the winter--the pines, cedars and hem­ locks. All these trees are represented by four-foot high sections of the trunk cut in such a manner as to ehow long­ itudinal and transverse Bection of the wood and the bark. On each specimen there is attached a picture with the leaf and fruit on the left hand side, the tree on the right hand side and a cross section of the wood magnified several diameters; also a map show­ ing where the tree grows. Such a description of each tree is given as would enable the student to identify the specimen. Altogether this exhibit will prove ex­ tremely useful and attractive to the multitudes of people who are inter­ ested in our trees. The museum hours are from 9 to 5 with an intermission at noon. Ask Report of Department's Heads. In the expectation of securing a more efficient and economic adminis­ tration, Governor Dunne has ad­ dressed a letter to the heads of all state departments, asking that they submit, at least once every 30 days, a report covering the doings of their department. The governor, in his letter, states that the reports will be made a mat­ ter of record and parts of them at least published in the newspapers. The letter, In part, says: "This year should be one ok con­ spicuous progress in the efficiency and economy of every department of the state government, and I rely upon you to produce results in your de­ partment which will prove the wisdom of your selection as its head. "Important as it is that results should be produced, it is also well that they shall be exhibited to the public The success of a department head will be judged by his administration of his department and In a large measure by the extent 'to which he obtains public recognition of his work. The justice of this will be readily appreciated. All of the state's business is public busi­ ness, and a public servant owes it to his employer U/ report what he is doing." Many Pass State Examination.. The following succeeded in passing the recent state civil service examina­ tion for assistant engineer at the state light plant, according to a list !»• sued by the civil service commission. Successful candidates were: F. T. Sheets, Champaign; Martin W. Watson, fetate highway department, Springfield; Clifford M. Hathaway, state highway department; Spring­ field ; Ira E. Scott, 606 College street, Springfield; Lloyd Schwartz, state highway department, Springfield. Four contestants passed the exam­ ination for corporation assistant in the office, of the secretary of state. The successful applicants were: Wil­ liam H. Long, Chicago; George W.

Suffragists of the state are well pleased over the policy inaugurated by the Dunne administration that is replacing male nurses in the hospitals for the insane with women. While the change is being made gradually, it is stated by those who are in touch with affairs of the board of administration that before the end of the year there will be but few male nurses employed. For some time Dr. George A. Zeller, state alienist, has been cognizant of the fact that even the most violent male patients submit to be controlled by a woman nurse when they will fight if a man attempts to control them. Because of this he suggested that women nurses be given a thor­ ough tryout In the state hospitals, and the results have been eminently satis­ factory. There is still another reason for the change that works for the good of the , state patients. Better grades of wom­ en nurses can be obtained for the money paid than can be secured in employing men. Many Incorrect Income Tax Returns. Several hundred farmers in the southern section of the state in aH probability have made incorrect in­ come tax returns because of the fact that instructions given out in January and February have been reversed and superseded in regard to the income from grain and produce raised on the farm. ' - Many farmers listed in their returns, as income for 1913, grain raised in 1912 and not sold until 1913, in doing so they acted on early Instructions given out by the commissioner of in­ ternal revenue which were later super­ ceded. Many more farmers, without doubt, failed to estimate the value of the grain raised in 1913 in making their 1913 returns. In doing this, they acted in accordance with the .early instructions of the department The latter instructions are changed by a recent ruling of the commissioner of internal revenue, W. H. Osborne of Washington, D. C., who holds that the valuation of grain raised in 1913 and not sold until 1914 should be estimated and returned as income for 1913. John L. Pickering, collector of in­ ternal revenue of the southern dis­ trict, received the ruling from Com­ missioner Osborne, and while he was averse to talking about it, admitted that it was just the reverse of the early instructions given out by the department. The latest ruling was given In a let­ ter to Collector Pickering under date of March 6, and waB as follows: "The amount received for corn and other grain raised and harvested in 1912 which was received as rental for the year 1912 and not sold until 1913 is not returnable as income for the year 1913. The sale of the corn or other grain is considered as simply a change of the form of the assets. Grain raised in 1913 and not sold un­ til January, 1914, should, nevertheless, be accounted for upon some baBls of valuation for the year 1913. If in the year of 1914 it is sold for less than the 1913 valuation, the loss may be claimed, but if sold for more than the 1913 valuation, the additional income should be reported in 1914." Governor Frees Murderer. The prison term of Frank Sinenl, sentenced in Cook county to 25 years for murder, was commuted to expire March 17 by Governor Dunne on rec­ ommendation of the state board of pardons. Physicians reported Sineni in the last stages of locomotor ataxia and said he could live only a short time.

The poll tax, voted out in many of the townships in the state during the past few years, is again effective un­ der the Tice good roads law, and will remain effective until such a time as voters in the various townships de­ clare themselves against it Notice to thie effect was given out yesterday by the state highway commission and em­ bodied in letters sent to county rjad superintendents, county clerks, town­ ship clerks and road commissioners. The poll tax under the Tice law pro­ vides for an annual tax of not less than one dollar and not over three dol­ lars against each able-bodied man in the township, between twenty-one and fifty years of age, the amount to be fixed by the township highway com­ missioners, persons residing in incor­ porated cities and villages being ex­ empted. Unless voted out at the April election the tax is collectable this year, and numerous townships, many of which voted the poll tax law out are expected to get busy at once and take steps to have the question voted upon and defeated. Petitions calling for such an election in each township where it is desired to annul the tax must be filed 15 days prior to the April election and must carry the signatures of 25 per cent of the voters. CANADA WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS | IN AGRICULTURE The {latest Is Winning Cham4 plonshfp tor Oats a Third f Time. Si Recently was published the teat ofv • remarkable winnings by Canadian: farmers in several events during thf * past three or four years. The latest Is that of Messrs. 3. C. Hill & Son*? of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, wh<> * j won in a hard contest for tfc6 cai f championship over Montana. At thdjF ' National Corn Exposition, at Dallalp during February, Montana oats wer4;'- awarded the championship for th#i:? * United States. Waiting for the win)**- ner of this to be announced was peck of oats belonging to the Ca nadian growers above mentioned, andfc^, • alongside of these was a like quantity">• "0: belonging to a Minnesota grower, whdb\ -I -, was barred from the regular compel.' titlon because he was at one time thflK jrf. winner of the trophy--the prize. Th* three entries were side by side on the ,*^1 Judge's bench. It would not be poeiv| •• ^ sible to bring together three moro "V\ Trl likely samples. The Montana an# Saskatchewan entries were of equal-'., t weight--50 pounds to the bushel. Th# , .4.^ Minnesota sample was some thre%v " '* •, / JC pounds lighter. The award wif-- -'-M unanimous in favor of the Saskatche^ ^an. oats. A remarkable feature an<t'u one greatly to the credit of the CaH 1 nadian product was that the oatsit grown in 1913, were grown and showil by those who had competed durin the past two years, winning on eac occasion. This, the third winning^..!' gave them for the third time th^ ' '0 v ̂ world's championship and full posses! sion of the splendid $1,500 silve? trophy contributed by the state of : Colorado. The oats which have thus given Western Canada 'another splendid adf» vertising card, were grown 300 mi!e%: north of the International boundary' line, proving that In this latitude, all-1 the smaller grains can be grown witli^ greater perfection and with mort abundant yield than further south. In all this country are to be found farm* ers who produce oats rupnlng from 42 to 48 pounds to the bushel, an4i with yields of from 60 to 100 busb* v' . els per acre. Wheat also does well, . grades high, and yields from 30 to mm bushels per acre.
