Pershing's war horse, has been relaaaed from quarantine at Newport News, Va, Uy the United States Department of Agricnltare. It will be remem bered that efforts were made to have him released immediately after his arrival in order that Gen. Pershing might ride him in the triumphal parades in New Tork and Washington. The Depart ment of Agriculture took the posi tion, however, that the menace to the livestock interests of the country waa Such that the releaae of even so distinguished an ani mal as Kedron could not be joa tifled. While Kedron came through as sound as the day of his departure for France, the wis dom of the quarantine has been established by the fact that other officers' mounts in quarantine at Newport News did develop danger ous diseases and two of them had to be destroyed. One of theae had a contagious disease not known to exist in this country. The other had trypononomiaais, an infectious akin to dourlne, that is more or less prevalent in Northern Africa and Southern Europe. If the quaran tine had not been established and these horses had been allowed to go free in tha United States, they very probably would have been the means of spreading the dis eases to such an extent that it would have been necessary to spend many thousands of dollars to eradicate the maladies, if pos sible of eradication at all.

LAST FRAGMENTS OF EMPIRE Romance In Disappearance of R*4 Oou From the Map of West ern Canada. A map of western Canada kept la the offices of the Hudson Bay com pany In Winnipeg la sprinkled with tiny red dots. Two centuries and a half of romance and history focus In these little red dots. When the Hudson Bay company In 1870 surrendered to Canada the vast territory granted to It by Charles II of England, It retained one-twentieth of all the land In the "fertile belt" of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta between the North Saskatchewan river and the International boundary. This one-twentieth waa distributed throughout every township and each of these red dots on the map repre aenta an area of from 100 to (MO acres. These lands are today Juat a» they were when the company's first forts were erected on Hudson bay.- They are Just as they were when the buf falo pastured upon them and Indians and trappers snared or shot fur-bear ing animals in this domain half a century ngo. Though now surrounded by farms, they have never heen touched by a plow. They are still Islands of primeval soil in the midst of rich farming district* The little red dots are disappearing one by one from the map. Each one that disappears means that the land It represents has become a settler's farm. All the dots represent 3,000,- 000 acres. The company Is rapidly disposing of all Its remaining land to settlers. When the last dot disappears from the map, the last fragment of Hudson Bay company's old empire will have disappeared from the North Ameri can continent.
