From the Sterling News.
Since the death of Mr.. Storey, of the
Chicago Times, the newspapers have been
full of stories of his life and habits. 1t
may not be generally known here that
William Duane Wilson, father of our
George Il. Wilson, the railroad man, was
the founder of what is now the Chicago
Times. Mr.. Wilson, ST., commenced the
publication of the Cowanf, a penny
daily, in the Spring of 1854. Chicago
was astonished one morning to find a
regular thoroughbred New York newsboy
crying the paper on the streets. II was
something before unheard Of in the city.
The Coi1dnt changed hands in the Fall
and wa the Young America and the
Times successfully. Mr.. William Duane
Wilson was connected with the Chicago
Tribune at its birth. He also founded
papers at P~ittsburg, Detroit and Milwau-
kee. George Z. Wilson learned the print
ing business of his father. He studied
fine job work with Rounds, now govern,
ment printer at Washington.

The Russians are reducing their army ex-
penditure by s4,500,0 900 per annum. Ac-
cording TO The Moscow Gazette, -thiseconomy
Is to be brought about by extending
the time OF service and decreasing
the annual number of recruits. In
stead Of the $4,000 recruits serving
respectively three years for infantry and
four years for cavalry, it was decided at the
last meeting Of the commission charged with
the consideration OF the subject: /. To re-
duce the Caucasian regiment and the whole
reserve forces in time Of peace so as TO
diminish the standing army by 100, 900 men.
q To fix the period Of service at five years
for infantry and artillery and six for cavalry.
8. To settle the annual contingent Of recruits
at 100. 900 men serving q period Of from FIVE
TO six years, and at A, 900 serving for nine
months, which will diminish the annual levy
of recruits by $4,000 men. II the annual
cost Of a recruit is put at e45, this reduction
will save more than 81, 500, 900 per annum.

At this rate. the supply would last nearly
800 years, but unfortunately the rate OF CON
sumption will increase not only with the
population, but with the demand of all
countries bordering on the Pacific ocean, and
to a sti1l greater degree with waste. Already
forest fires and the Ak Of the settler have
made sad inroads upon the forests, and both
settlers and forest fires are increasing in
number and destructiveness. This waste
and destruction call for radical measures of
prevention. The state and territorial, as
well as the national government, and the
land grant railroad companies should COM
bine, and each do its part to protect these
splendid forests.
Governor Crosby, of Montana territory has
urgently recommended the general govern
ment to protect the far less generous supply
Of timber in hat territory, and it is to DO
hoped that 1t will not only heed his advice,

measures to be applied wherever it has juris-
diction. 1t cannot act too soon, nor too
