T)ear Doctor ^^erriam: Your very interesting letter of !ferch 23d has just been received. It is doubtful if any of the skulls of the grizzlies that had to be killed last summer can be found, but I will have somebody look for them when the snow disappears, and get them for you if practicable. Your request for skulls will be kept in mind, and some will be saved for you when practicable. It is a little doubtful if we can get any of grizzly bears during the coming season, however, as there are several requests from museums, approved by the Department, for remains of grizzlies to be used for mounting a? specimens, and I pre- sume these will have to be filled from the first bears that are killed.

In rarlous wi|ys whoro politloal wrong has boon praotiood or religious oi>pro3slon pr4otloo4i our oountry has acted • Since cur oItII war was ended— now ali^ost a generation ago— - and human slavery in our oountry was abolislAod, aany folt and believed that the greater ^luestlons of national polioy had been fotight out and the fundamental dootrlnes of Imnanity had boon settledt so far as national action waB concerned. Many yoxmc >«n» C'^>^int: up, cc»e to regret that they ittight not have lived earlier so that they might have had the ehanee to take part in meeting those greater questions over which mankind had fought. But a greater than al^ of them rose up and seemed to invite them to aet in a new oonfllet. It was national interference in the cause of humanity. This doetrine was not a new ^hing . It had probably been preaehed for ages. The eldest of us have hoard and reheard of it all our lives. When tho tto* hammedans were slaying Chri»ti Bulgaria than savage horrors, all over westera IBuropo went up tim ery to the several nations near by to interfere and atop tiMae erimes against humanity and punish t lo offenders • But the nations praotieally did nothing. Politloal ocmplication forbid. Later, in our own time, when a similar cry for help and merey came up from Araienia, we aU rmeirt)er the loud oall that 4%h of July~6# etmm up frn»trated with the offender Then we tried to feed the start ine tivre by sendine them food, and still tho wrong went on. More perishe^froa koneer and war t)ian all the mttrderb and uaasaerea of the Christiana by the Ifehaaaedans had amo\mted to for a hundred yoars. Then we acted. A war for humanity's sake was something newln International conducts but it waa rlghteoua, and no wonder that it waa ae speedily victorious. And now a new preeedent i» established. Nations neod no longor wait for precedent when humanity Itself crieo out. I ror.* anally belJeve that It eaa this Interferenee which has made JJncland so oxceedlngly friendly of late. Tbe precedent is now established a.id that conservative nation need wait no longer wfteh her cltiaens ery again for such a eanae. ACae, for the same reason, ti^t Germany was dlBploased with our war . for one nation to inter- fere la a rebellion between a goTommont and Us owii colonies is a doctrine notp^easaat to that monarchical co^mtry of continental Atrope. There are such serlout. responi ibilities involved in tills reeent action of ours thnt aiany good men fear thut the stability of our government is menaced. I have no suoh fear. Our fath.trs built strongly as well as wise- ly when they u»ed ^^ustico and right as the comer stone What goTemm«it in the world todany Peems wore firm? "^hat nation of TSurope or of the world has given more evidence of stability? Svery •ountry of ftirope haa seen great •r government dharges t!ian ours during the 123 9MM». of our national exlst- •aee. Some have changed radically in their for«e of zciyfTvmnX'--»9m merely rywhere ^4tii of July -«. found chan6«» thaniwitli u». So, too, the nbvp of Burop* haa been •ontinually chaneing In « way that ouri» liaa not . Wars of oonqu«at are familiar th«r«, W« hare ehaAe«re»lrtent» Ik but a result of our liberty . Thank Heaven! it Is our rifcht to criticise our chief maElstratc. As Amorloans it is our duty to choose our rulers, but it is also as much our duty to watch over thea In office, for the preservation of our precious heritage, it is our duty to carefully select our rulers. I have no sympathy— I have scarcely patience with those Aiaerioan citizens who neglect to vote— who hold ^oof from political matters and the selection of our of- ficers, and th«n grumble about those who are elected. That is not the law o progress. In a Sunday School In London which gathered in the ragged boys of the street, a teacher tavern her class one Sunday a lesson as to our duty to others. The next Sunday, wishing t* Icam how well her teaching had been remembered, she asked In aolemn but earnest volccj "What is our f irct duty t our ncitjhbort" nCeep your eye on him" was the ready answer of one of the little gamins. He had worldly wisdom. I repeat It, in no disrespect to ur superiors in office, even our presidents, that It Is our duty to keep y eye on them as truly as It Is our duty to votf when they are out Into 0 - ice. i^^ 4th of July—?. ¥• .ioot to oolobrato tho day and rojoioo In what It fti^snlflos • Hot only haTO our doctrinos sproad BEk but so haa our doiaaln « Our flae~that flae wo aro all ao proud of — wuTts oTor Taatly moro people of the earth and yaetly aore of the ea7*th Itself than It did a oentury ago. The 0 pp reeled of other landa ocae here to liTe under It and it haa Gradual*- ly pushed out farther and farther. As I eald at the be^jinnlnet where two or three Axiorloana aro not together on this day, there will the day be celebrated. Ho city too large, no haailet too small Doubtiess there ia a fourth o f July celebration going on today at Ft. Barrow-^so far north t-iat there la no night in July in which to have their fireworks When /e bou^iht Ala»lca, it carried the flag as far ^eat aa there was a west — ao far that it becxmea east. It has not only t7*aTeled to the east by this path, but alao by the other, and I suppose that the fourth of July la oolebrated today In Manilla. Did I aay •today*? That celebration is so far eaatward that It was eighteen hours ahead of us in tine, and it Is now already aftor nine o'clock tomorrow morning there. They hare now had tlxM enoigk not only to celebrate but to sleep off the effects of too ardent enthusiasm. As in loneiltude^ so in latitude. Prom the frosen north on the shores of the Arotlc Ooean where the celebration is within the Arctic circle^ to Manila where they are oelebratlng in the sweltering heat of a tropical climate; but in each case it is a gathering and rejoicing that they live under a free f^ovemment, rejoicing over what their forefathers earned for them and bequeathed to them and a promising anew that in our day the flag shall not be dlahonored nor the prineiples wkioh it symbolizes be forgotten. -0- s?-' >/- r oCa^ ^ ^2-1^^^-e^^^ ^f*- ^:^^ ^ -^J^U^ ^ ( ^^^^•Ui^ / / ^ ^^2><>^ J^<2-,7-^^^ ^ o^ ^ /^^t^^^^'^^^r-.-c^ wOMM J.

Terrieoj:- If I reaiember rightly, yoa ere on the I have as yet a fcio^le collectioo pabliBhiag coMittee of the FarriBeo nsskeo Expedition, offered cothing for pablication, and write yoa for advice. f, collections were entirely botanical and the speciaens are in the hands of the several specialists to be worked up with the other collections. fs T understand it. there will be no special report on each .an's collection separately, but all will be used and described as ^b^j have asEUned that the several specialists rill write up all that is necessary in their several botanical reports. is to ^eneril_notes on the botany of the regions visited, ,e had on the party'professionals. who are so .ucb better authorities than T on the several aspects (?ernow. on the trees and forests. CoviUe. Saunders. Trelease and others) that T have felt that anything that I «ight say would be were -padding- and therefore not worth the printing in the scientific reports. I however, wade cbservetiocs on certain attrospberic phenooiena. .ore especially ihose pertaining to the relation of dust and ha.e to et^os- Pheric aspects and to the precipitation, as contrasted with .ore southern d also careful observations on the sunset colorings or "Alpine regions, an ^low" on the Bncry eoantains T Bade no "new discoyeries" and the cbEervetiODS have only a popular, rather than a scientific intereet. But they interested ma «och, iBCSiucb as T ha?e long been interest- ed in these subjects, both in their Ecieotific relations and in their relations to the scenic aspects of landscapes in different latitudes end in different regions, and therefore tbeir relations to the scenic aspects of the /llaskan coasts we visited. Now, is it worth irbile to prepare a short paper oc this matter. for the reports? i! paper of, say three or four thousand words. written. have already published two papers on certain aspects of the atitospbere- in the Arctic regions, (in the ta8t_Croi6e_or_the_yiranda. and in the American ^eteologicaljcurnal) and which cover the scientific part of the subject. The observations last sacxer only coofirired what T have there The papers alluded to. were published after ity Greenland trip and the scientific part related «ore especially to the dust and haze in the air. and their relation to the aspects of the sky, to precipitation, clouds, fog and rain, and to their effects cc the aspects of Arctic landscape scenery, and certain other atiospheric pbeoo«ena of popular interest. The latter of "^pine Jlows" was cot discussed at all in those papers. If it is expected that every rewber of the expedition write something special for official publication, then T will use this subject and write it soon. If such en article will be of too little scientific value to for^ a part of the scientific reports, then of course, it should not be put in with therer vacation, than I have ever before experienced, it has beeo delayed. I have recently received a letter froos Doubleday._Page_J_Co. of Feir York, wishing for irateriel for a popular article to be published in their new magazine, and I answered, that I bad no new scientific discoveries to announce. I did not care to offer this material for their .agazioe. until I learned froo! you or other members of the committee, whether such a paper as T have spoken of on these subjects would be needed or wanted, for the official reports, I have written at this length, the better to explain the situation I find myself in. If you think it not worth while to publish such a paper in the publications of the expedition, don't hesitate to say so; you cannot make ms more aware than T am, that all the work of scien- tific value will come frcir the younger men, and it will be a personal kindness to me, to frankly let me knoir what you think T had better do, both in respect as to what T ought to do and what is expected of me. It will not be a kindness to me, if you, because of our long friendship end my greater age, should hesitate to tell me that such a semi-popular paper had better not go in. if you think it should not. I do not know whether or not Vt. Harrimao would want to publish such an article, which t.i3ht be more appropriate for the Popular Science yontbly. or some siaiar publication. On the other hand, he (or his family) may wish to have something appear from as many of the m.e.bers of the expedition as is possible. Tf there is to be a general volume, other than the narrative 4 by ¥r. Burroughs, a volume ccusisting of minor iratters, or matters of secondary scientiTic interest, then it iright be worth while to print there a short paper on the subject I have spoken of. As you may be away froar Washington, and ¥r. cannett may be in, (or vice versa), I send a sicilar letter to him. Trusting that you will give me frank advice, T air as ever.

The Department of Agriculture desires the co-operation of Rice Growers in its attempt to secure trustworthy information concerning the extent of the injury annually done the rice crop by certain birds, chiefly the Bobolink or Rice-bird and the Red- winged Black-bird; and in devising some measure or measures, consistent with reasonable economy, for the diminution if not the prevention of this loss. Information in reply to the follo\vyng questions is solicited: 1. Are you a rice planter? ^w0i fi f 2. If so, how many acres have you under cultivation ? */Sn^«-^^-<-' ^ 3. What is the average yield of rice per acre? (>/frxA^ ^-^--^6v-^ 4. What do you consider a fair estimate of ihe average annual loss per acre occasioned by birds ? n\^ ^or*-«^ , 9. How many * Bird Minders' are employed annually upon your plantation during the fall invasion of Rice-birds? ^^.<^-eA-^>C 10.

JANUARY 31. 1898 AN EXPERT ON OUR PARKS To the Editor of the Transcript: As the plan for the development of our great park system is unfolded it becomes evident that the whole extent of country embraced within our parka is to be treated from the standpoint of the landscape gar- dener, a treatment involving wonderful im- provement to the wast« lands, but entail- ingr serious and often needless sacrtflce of many natural features of the landscape. It Is further evident that the Boston Park Commissioners will make no concessions to the tastes and wlsihes of those who And in natural thickets, meadows, ponds and wood- lands a primitive, restful beauty and plc- turesqueness which the most successful creations of the professional landscape maker cam never hope to equal. These facts were made very clear during: the hear- ing at Pine Bank last Monday. When the park movement first started and later, when it was receiving general popular attention, an arg\iment freely and effectively used t« enlist sympathy in Its behalf and to Justify the enormous appro- priations which it afterwards received was that of the desirability of acquiringr and preserving for the benefit of the people as many as jposslble of the wilder or more beautiful tracts of woodland in the vicini- ty of Boston. Fifty— or even thirty— years ago such an argument would have carried little weight, but the love of wild nature, the deep and ever growing interest in the bird and plant life about us. flr»t aroused by Thoreau and afterwards fostered by the writings of Burroughs, Belles and Torrey, have spread widely among all classes of our people. Botany and ornithology are now tauglit In the public a;s well as private schools; botanists and ornithologists have no difficulty in forming large and lucrative field classes; and very many people repre- senting every condition of life go to our park woods for the express purpose of studying or enjoying the native plants or animals. Do our people, to whom the parks be- long, wish their woods and other places of natural beauty to be preserved or to be hopelessly mutilated? Do they wish to find In their woods 6. native flora, composed of trees, shrubs and wild flowers characterisrtic of this region and growing under perfectly natural conditions or a mere selection of these treea and plants pruned, developed or restricted according to the tastes and preju- dices of the Park Commissioners, and min- gled with introduced species which have no natural place in the flora of this region? Do they wish to have In their parks the abundance and variety of native birds and other animals which natural woods may be easily made to harbor, or do they prefer to carry with them from the city the din and clamor of the English sparrow, half drown- ing the aongs of the few native birds that will consent to live in the denuded groves which the Park Commissioners so higliJy approve? These are questions which It be- hooves the i>eople to consider and to an- swer before it is too late. The commissioners deserve the greatest credit for the able and Judicious way in which they have reclaimed and developed many originally unattruotive or even for- bidding places— such, for example, as the Back Bay Fens— and the future car© of such reclaimed lands, as well as the care and development of all barren and waste tracts, may be safely left to their hands. But they have shown themselves inca- pable of dealing wisely and temperately with the natural woodlands and with such partly natural, partly artificial, but alto- gether charming scenery as that which they found and have since disfigured or destroyed about the shores of Jamaica Pond. Over aJl such places, intrinsically beautiful and dear through long and Intimate association to thousands of people, the Commissioners should no longer be permitted to exercise arbitrary control. They must be taught that their Individual predilections for or against certain trees or species of trees cannot be indulged In all cases; that the opinions of even the most eminent specialists on park management and tree culture, although al- ways entitled to consideration and respect, are not necessarily Infallible; and that while they (the Commissioners) may be Justifi^ in Ignoring hysterical, individual protests against tree cutting a popular wave of in- dignation, such as that which has lately formed and is now gathering momentum, cannot be safely disregarded. That this salutary lesson chji be and should be applied admits of no doubt, but the form which it may best take is a matter that will require careful consideration on the part of some one competent to deal with the legal difficulties of the case. One way that suggests Itself would be to enlarge the commission and to provide that it Include among its numbers a fair representation of artists, field naturalists and lovers of natural woodlands. Or a committee chosen by the people to represent these classes might be grajited a certain measure of con- trol over the acts of the Commissioners. Still another plan, crude, it must be admit- ted, but nevertheless sure to accomplish the desired results within the areas to which it could be conveniently applied would be to set aside certain tracts of woodland through- out which the printed park regulations should be understood to apply to the Com- missioners and their employees as well as to the public. A total prohibition against cut- ting would work no real injury for there are many pieces of woodland In eastern Massa- chusetts that have not felt an axe for fifty years or more, and that have gained rather than lost in attractiveness through such neglect. Pending the formulation and adoption of some plan which may be depended on to preserve our park woods from further needless trimming. It may be well to bear In mind that the power of the commissioners to work havoc among our trees may be beat restrained by limiting their appropria- tions. In this way the people may per- haps save themselves from the continued pain and mortification of seeing their prop- erty destroyed by the use of money which they themselves have furnished.

I shall hope to have the judgment in the Hoalley matter terninating the trusts passed ahout the 10th of October, and atany time after tkut date, and after a sale of the securities can he effected and other ar- rangements made, you can "buy the annuities for Miss Bradley and Heli Hoadley and distribute the fund in €U5cordance 'i^th the a- 0 greement. It will, however, doiibtless take time to dispose of the Hugo mortgege. My remembrance is that that mortgage is about |25,000 and bears 4^ interest. I presune it is pa»ya- # ble on demand, so that payment can be demanded at any time, but you will doubtless have to give the mortgag^wa little time to turn round. I doubt Aether in the present state of the money market you can find a purchaser for a mortgage bearing each a low rate of interest. It seems to me that some steps should be taken immediately so that you can dispose of the mortgage prompt- ly after the judgment is passed. I think your presence in the East will be necessary in order to clean tip this matter. B.-C. Yours truly, BRISTOL be BRISTOL & WHITE HENRY STODDARD JOHN W. BRISTOL HENRY C. WHITE LEONARD M.

I do not think we can decide this question definitely until we have some definite rulik^of the Depeurtment on it^ or some regulation that will "be decrisive of the question.

On account of the income tax I think you should reserve at least 1^ on the gross amount of the income since March 1st tmtil the date of delivery of the securities.

As to the distribution, my idea is that this shall he in a separate paper, and this separate paper will contain the list of the securities, and the re-valuations of them, and then we will set to each person the securiti«B as- signed to him or her at the new valuations. The account will show the loss "between the new valuations ani the old. Of course, there is another way of doing it. We could first file an account in the Probate Court showing the property on hand, then the mut- ual distribution, then a second account showing that the property has been turned over in accordance vith agreement, but 1 do not believe that it is necessary to make two bites of one cherry.

I will ask the Prohate Court to give me the amount of its bill for probate fees paid. I have filed no copies of the will or cer- tificates of your ^pointraent with the City of New Yoi^k. I enclose herewith a certified copy of the will and two certif- icates of your appointment, one as executor and the other as trustee under the Head ley will. It takes time to get these papers, gnd they hove just come to hand. You can send these papers along with yoxxr New York City bonds and inform the proper authorities that the others holding registered bonds of the City of ITew York will doubtless present them for transfer.

I helieve that each of the above named persons ovms one of these bonds, in accord- ance with the mutual distribution. I saw Pickett the other day, and he told me that he did not understand that Heli Hoaileys monthly allowance was paid in eidvance. I wish you would look xip the old accounts and see what thefact is. It seemed to me a curiuus fact that you and Judge Townsend should have been paying Heli in advance, because his ddath at any time would necessarily result in an over-payment to him.

The difficulty in having a transfer made hy you as trustee to you as an individual would be obviated, I presume, if we were to file an exemplified copy of the proceedings in the suit in the Superior Court teminating the trust and a sworn copy of the mutual distribution which has not been filed yet. To do this, however, in the case of each issue of reg- istered bond^wouid be quite expensive, and it seems to me that this complication could be avoided by you if you should transfer the registered bonds that you do not wish to sell or cannot sell to some third person to hold for you, for instance, to Mrs. Merriam; or, if you think the companies would be suspiciouB of transferring the bonds to your wife they might be transferred to somebody else.

I would alst^ like you to give me the total amjTJint of income collected from IvHarch Ist* 1913 to date. I am asking these questions in reference to the incone tax. In accordance with the Treasury regula- tions, Part 2, page 9, the withholding ag^nt is not required to deduct anything prior to November lst» 1913, and whenever the total am>unt of incone paid to any person by a withholding agent after October 31st. 1913 shall be in excess of #3000 (that is, $2500 for 1913) then and in that evant the irithhold- ing agent is liable for and shall deduct and withhold the tax on such anDunt unless such p ersonshall file a claim for an exemption as allowed in paragraph D of the act.

It was my oversight. It will not be necessary for you to come to New Haven, for the hearing unless later I should request you to come. I do not apprehend that Pickett will make any trouble, but if he should be inclined to , I think I can arrange for an adjournment of the hearing. Pickett, I think, is a little confused in reference to his reason for not signing the final receipt, or not Dr. C, Hart Merriam, # 2. allowing Mrs. Towneend to eign it. We already hold her receipt for the eeourities distributed to her, and I suppose that the legal relation was that you had the registered bond of the Boston & Maine in your possession for transfer under a contract with her that you would personally, and not as trustee, do it; but still I do not think it makes a great deal of difference whether you get the final receipt from Mrs. Townsend this time or not.
