Last week paragraph was pub
lished stating that gentleman IN
Morris had Il plan for bringing emil
grants to this county. A few 1nqul-
ries enable us to give the plan propos-
ed, the person who originated 1t ana
to make few suggestions. Rev.
Francis Watry proposes to visit, DUR
ing the early summer, his old home
at milwaukee, Wis. Residing near
there are numerous settlements thick
ly inhabited by prosperous and thrift
there is occupied, the young people mi
CRATE as soon as they grow to maturity
to various portions of the west where
there Is more room aid where lands
are cheaper. Rev. Watry thinks that
by going to the homes of these people
and giving few lectures among them,
upon the many advantages offered by
Stevens county to thrifty farmers, a
good sized colony could be induced to
come here and locate. And if any of
them come, more are sure to follow.
OF course this undertaking Will cost
something-nOt much. but some
thing-and If Rev. Watry takes up
the work solely for the benefit of the
county, he ought not to be allowed to
use any of his own money in doing
it. The business men of Morris who
will be most benefited should fur
nish that. Realizing the importance
of the results to be secured the TIL
bune takes the liberty to call a meet
ing of all enterprising men of Morris
and vicinity at Phoenix Hall on Mon
day evening April 18th at o'clock.
Rev. Watry has expressed willing
ness to be present at that time and
will explain more about the people
in question, about their desirability
as settlers, why they are sure to go
for new homes and how
easy matter it is to secure them for
this place if the proper efforts are put
forth. This is certainly an important
matter in which all residents are i'll
terested and we hope to see large
attendance on the date above men
toned.

The concert by the Ahlander-B Berg
strom Concert company last night at
the Opera House was great musical
treat to the cultivated musicians of
the city. Every number was received
with manifestations of pleasure by
the audience and the evening passed
very rapidly. Mme Ahlander-Berg-
strom has the same evenness and
finish of tone in the lower as well as
the higher register. Her technique is
complete in all details, and this COM
bined with true conception of what
she sings, entities her to q place in
the ranks of the finest artists. Her
personal originality manifested itself
quite strongly in one Of the Swedish
songs with it's droll humor, inter-
changing with dreamy melancholy.
The coloring and shadingin Agatha's
aria, too was exceedingly fine and
delicate. 1t was very enjoyable for
once, to hear "Home, Sweet Home"
sung clearly, in all it's simple lowell
ness, and without all the vile senti-
mentality usually dosed out to the
gallery by most travelling concert
singers, so called. lime. Ahlander-
Bergstrom is u pupil of Nine. Viardot

Alaska's Great Forests.

Alaska forests contain enough timber to
supply the world. The forest of pine, spruce,
fl and hemlock cover every island of the
archipelago and goodly portion of the main
land. The trees are straight and tall, and
grow close together. The only sawmill at
present1in operation is at Douglas Island,
and 80 far there has not been cord of timber
cut for shipment. The trees, as a rule, do
not always cut up into good-sized boards.
For fuel. however, the wood is excellent and
much of it is available for building purposes.
There is little decorative wood, although the
yellow pine is richly colored, and might be
used to advantage in inferior work. Alaska
spruce is an excellent variety, and often
measures five feet in diameter.
1t is considered the best spruce in the world,
and the supply is very abundant. In the in
terror of the country timber is of much
heavier growth than on the coast and on the
islands. Regarding the hemlock, there is a
large supply, and the bark compares favora-
bly with that of the Eastern tree in tanning
establishments.
No one has yet attempted to compute the
value of the Alaska forests. 1t may be they
will not be necessary for years to come, but
whenever wood grows scarce elsewher or
whenever civilization fastens itself upon
Alaska, the timber of the region will be
found ready at hand and existing in rich
profusion Calculating only approximately
the value of our possession to-day the forests
must be considered practically iRexhaustible,
and add most materially to the wealth of the
Territory. Francisco Chronicle.
