OUR TIMBER SUPPLY. 6 III

While forestry is an industry that
should be encouraged, and the gov
eminent ought to take such steps as
will guarantee to the future an ade-
quate supply of timber, the present
supply does not seem to be as nearly
exhausted as one might be led to sup
pose by statements that are often
made. 1t is said that Washington
alone has 1000, 100000 feet Of stand
ing timber, while the neigh0oring
states west Of the Rockies contain
433, OOO, 100000 feet, making a total
sufficient, as one writer expresses 1T,
to girdle the earth with belt OF
dense forest a mile wide three times
round, with an additional lap from
Puget Sound to the Atlantic. Be-
sideSsthis there is said to be supply
aggregating 1853, OOO,0 100000 feet in the
southern and eastern states. When
these sources of supply give out, Alas
ka can be drawn on for $1,000, 900, DOC
feet. This used in a fairly economic,
al way, aud with the proper attention
given TO forestry by government
authority, ought to supply the wants
of the nation for many years to come
But in addition to this supply it is
estimated that Canada has 1915, OOO,'
100000 feet of standing timber as yet
untouched, on the $4,000. 100000 acres
of available timber area of British
Columbia, and long before this i:
needed Canada, if the present senti
continues to grow, will undoubtedly
be a part Of the United States.

IN THE HOUSE.
Detailed Statement of Expenditures
of State Boards Asked For.

Detailed Statement of Expenditures
of State Boards Asked For.
The first communication received in
the house was from the chief engineer
of the capitol, asking an appropriation
of 81 900 to replace the indirect radia-
tors in the supreme court rooms with
direct radiators. It was referred to the
committee on appropriations.
Petitions were received asking the
passage of several of the liquor bills and
for the boiler inspection bill.
Mr.. Wilson moved a reconsideration
of the vote by which his bill to increase
the salary of the supreme court re-
porter was lost. He wanted, he said, to
make some amendments and have the
work of the reporter placed directly
under the supervision of the supreme
court. He also wanted to pave the way
| for an amendment to the amount of in
crease in salary The motion carried
and the bill was sent back to the judic-
larry committee.
A Statement Wanted.
Mr.. Cole introduced a resolution call
ing upon the state auditor for detailed
statement of the expenditures of all
state boards, of the surveyor general
and of the state agricultural society.
The resolution was adopted.
P. H. Kelly introduced resolution
to pay DR.. Williams $3.50 for expenses
incurred in his contest with Henry
Johns. Mr.. Blocker asked that Mr..
Heinrichs be paid $3.50 to reimburse
him for expenses in his contest with
Mr.. Bidderman. Both went to the
committee on expenses.
New Bills.
There was perfect flood of road and
bridge bills introduced at the morning
session, the members fastening to get
their appropriation bills in, under the
rale that all must be in by the 10th OF
February. The total number of bills
crept up past the 500 mark, and the ag.
gregate of bridge appropriations asked
now exceeds any possibilities of the in
ternal improvement funds for years by
many thousands of dollars. The ex
IRENE northern districts made the larg
est requests.
Afternoon Session.
The introduction of bills was re
sumed after recess and another batch o.
appropriation bills were handed in. Th'
house then went into committee of TIT
whole with Mr.. German in the chair.
The Union Pacific joint resolution wal
indefinitely postponed and the world
fair bill and Mr.. Bleecker's bill regulat
ing the salaries of officers of building
and loan associations were recon-
mended to pass. The house then ad
iourned.

SPEAKING of the late Phillips

Brooks, the New York Press says:
Though stunning rather than seek
ing notoriety Phillips Brooks appreci-
ated to the full the helpful influence
of athe public press, and newspaper
men were his friends, as he was their
friend. He was clasSed with what is
known as the Broad Church wing of
the Protestant Episcopal denomina-
ton, although he deprecated all divi-
sive distinctions. Perhaps it would
be more exact to say that he thorough
~ sympathized with the liberal and
progressive trend of modern Chris
tianity. He was lovingly loyal to his
own particular branch of the univers-
al church, but he rejected with noble
Scorn any pretenSe that his church
was the whole and the only church.
He sturdily maintained the rights of
untrammeled Christian scholarship,
of freedom to think and speak. What
he claimed for himself he granted to
others. Clergymen who held fast to
the old school theology, or who adopt
ed the highest of high church notions,
found in him. whether as rector or as
bishop, defender of the privilege to
hold and teach and practice that
from which he totally dissented. He
was peculiar among the opponents of
the new theology, in that he inculcat-
ed liberal views, not so much attack
ing what he deemed error, as by TAX
ing the truth of the more rational
doctrines for granted. The great
source of his immense influence as a
leader of advanced thought was due
to the way in which he used it; not
for debate, but for vitalizing essential
Christian truth. In MIN, as in scarce
ly any other modern preacher, was
witnessed union of evangelical earn
estnesS with devout rationaliSm.

1t is all very we'll to discuss the pro-
priety of continuing the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition until january, but the
directors will do we'll to leave the discus
sion of the matter for another month at
least. The attendance now is very large,
but it must not be forgotten that the
weather is good and the trip can be
made in comfort. The desire to see the
Fair may possibly induce crowd OF
people to brave tho stormy weather and
other discomforts of the two closing
months of the year, but the probablll-
ties are that it will do nothing OF the
kind. If there is no manifestation OF
tendency to slow up in the matter OF at
tendance during the last half OF October
it NAV be worth while for the directors
to consider the subject of an extension
during November and possibly Decem-
Der seriously. 1t would be very foolish
to assume, however, that because 200, O0(
people thronged the Fair daily during
September they will do the same thing

True Words.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, president of the
Vanderbilts' New York Central railroad
is ready talker. Sometimes he gives
out trothy utterances; sometimes he
talks wisely. In speech at Cornell
University, the other day, in leading up
to graceful tribute to the founder of
the institution. Ezra Cornell, the mil
lionaire said, among other good things
about rich men:
The concentration of riches and the
cultivation of graranism have advanced
with equal pace. The recent political
movements. which in some States de-
feated both the national parties, were
the expression at the polls of the silent
forces whose growth and strength had
been noticed. Though the principles of
the new faith are vague, incohert and
apparently absurd, the underlying power
which YIELDS and yields them is hatred
and distrust of property.
The objective point is at present the
corporation. But as the operation and
necessity of this device for transacting
business in which all us stockholders can
participate is better understood, the
millionaire becomes the target. 1t is at
once the anomaly and danger of the cru
SADIE that it enlists those who are them-
selves property-holders, as farmers are
house-owners or tradesmen, against
those who have more.
l.
most potent agency for promoting the
methods for its own diminution and de-
struction by legislation. The most AFRO
CANT and offensive manager of money is
fered adversely and finally becomes a
success. He proudly boasts: 81 owe
nothing to the world" and mo one
ever did anything for me-" The world
gains nothing by his life, and his heirs
are his only beneticiaries at his death.
Such man is at once the excuse for and
the irratant of the combination of the
elements, which, either blindly or vi
ciouslY, labor for the destruction of our
institutions and laws,
There are men who so use their wealth
that the whole community rejoices in
their good fortune and applauds the
management of their trusts. A most
noble and brilliant representative of
this class was the founder of this uni
versity.
These are true words, certainly, on
selfish and ostentatios wealth. The only
wealth which the public looks with ia
yor on is that which has behind it public
spirit and philanthropy. There never
has been a time, on the other hand,
when the public-spirited man of wealth
was not held i'll high esteem by the
masses.
