Little May Sharplcss's Dolls

which at present are valued by her
chiefly for their power in adding to her
family of dolls. Mays father was a
member of the firm of Arnold, Consta-
bic & Co., and died in Paris some wears
ago, where he was resident partner of
the New York house. Ex-Gov. Leon
Albeit, of New Jersey, is the child's
guardian. Little May wears Worth
dresses and has thousands of dollars
spent on her wardrobe, but oil that is
nothing to her Joy in her dolls. She
might study anthropology from those
miniature people if she chose, for thew
represent all races of the human family
and are appropriately costumed, SO that
she may with little trouble have audi
ence with an Indian, European, African
or Monaghan. The child's favorites are
the French dolls with Worth wardrobes
like her own, of which she has q score
or 80 OF handsome specimens.

THE TIMBER THIEVES.
Our Forests Denuded to Supply
Other Places.

Mining operators and others inter-
ested in the development of the mineral
wealth in this region are beginning to
view with serious apprehension the
fast decrease of the timber supply in
this vicinity, gays the Record. Indeed,
the scarcity of native wood in this
region has been attended with i'll effects
for long time. The mountain sides
were covered with a heavy growth of
timber in early days, but nowadays
stumps out-aumber the trees, except in
places difficult of access. In most
cases, however. the timber was made
use of in mining developments, and
were II not for the mines, the timber
reserves near US would have been prac-
tlcally valueiess. So long as our forest
trees were not cut down to supply other
markets no enc regretted such use of
the ak. But those cases which the
government officials have brought to
light, showing the unlawful cutting of
timber at the head of the Cottonwoods,
and shipping the same to distant
places, ~ 5,
DESERVES TO BE PROSECUTED
to the full extent. What little timber
is left In this vicinity can be put to the
best use, as the law allows, for mining
purposes. Because of the injudicious
emitting OF our forest trees, our supply
has to be drawn largely from distant
places. making it more costly to all
consumers. Even where the supply Is
quite plentiful now, it will not be long
with the present great demand and
future needs before q scarcity will be
felt there also. The timber is of slow
growth, and it is being cut down very
much faster than it crows. The sub
Ject demands some amendments to the
timber culture act, and a rigid enforce
ment OF The laws and rules of the In
terror Department, or else the success
ful development of our mining indus
try, and the prosperity of dependent
enterprises will be seriously handi-
capped. What is true with reference
to this part of the country is applicable
to almost every other mining section,
and altogether there is great anxiety
all over the country because the once
mammoth timber reserves are not be-
ing protected against wanton destruc-
tlon, even II means are not taken to re-
pp..eeuish them.
