THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



r23 



changes must be suhniitted at the aii- 

 jiual convention, whk-h is probably 

 not more than four months distant, 

 and it is none too soon now to l)ef;in 

 tlie consideration of the matter. Un- 

 less we do sometliing now in tlie way 

 of considering- tlie question, some one 

 will bring it up at the coming conven- 

 tion, and secure the appointment of a 

 committee, and, as 1 have already ex- 

 plained, men may be cliosen who have 

 had little or no experience in these 

 matters, and have giviMi tlu'm little 

 thought, and the air at a convention is 

 too full of hurrah to allow of a calm 

 consideration of such important points. 

 Besides, we ought to be able to dis- 

 cuss them publicly, just as we are 

 doing now, and get the benefit of the 

 cross-fire that will sm-ely be drawn 

 out. If we formulate a set of amend- 

 ments that are finally approved by a 

 majority of the board and the execu- 

 tive committee, these amendments 

 will most surely be approved by the 

 convention. 



I agree most fully with Rro. Root's 

 closing sentence, that in the meantime 

 we make the best of circumstances 

 and get down to business. The board 

 and the general manager, and every- 

 body, can keep right on at work now. 

 and do the very best they can, but 

 that will not prevent nor hinder the 

 discussion of needed changes, nor will 

 the discussion hinder any actual work 

 that may be on hand.

TRAIN TOOK ITS OWN PHOTOGRAPH. 



A large, handsome engraving, iS x 28 

 inches, has been made of "The Burling- 

 ton's Number One" while going at 60 

 miles an hour between Chicago and Den- 

 ver. It is the best picture of a train in 

 motion ever taken, and "the train took 

 the picture itself." This is explained in 

 a folder which will be sent free on ap- 

 plication. Price of large engraving, 20 

 cents. Postage stamps will do. Address
