RAILROAD MATTERS.

Information of semi official character
Is to the effect that contracts for the
grading of the entire road, both the
Terminal and the Manltowoc & Western
are practically made, though not yet
signed. The parties have reached al
agreement and it is reasonably safe to
say that the contracts will be signed
within a few days. There is possibility
of hitch, though hardly a probability
and for this reason no definite announce
ment can be made.
The contracts do not stipulate that the
road is to be completed this year, though
1t is certain that considerable work will
be done. The time for completion is not
distant, however. 1t may be said with
reasonable confidence that work will be
commenced soon. There is no scarcity
of money and there has been no delay
further then was necessary for the com
pletion of preliminaries.

The police made yesterday, what may
prove to be an important capture, by the
arrest of two men claiming to be ped
oilers. These two persons have been in the
city several days and the police have had
their eyes on them, but could learn
nothing warrantilg their arrest until it
was reported that they had drawn re-
volvers upon citizen of the It'll ward.
Immediately the police began searching
for the two men and Chief Stlrn and
Policeman Snitfin captured them near
Rahr's malt house. They gave their
names as O'Connnr, and claim to hail
from New York city, On searching the
prisoners number of gold watches were
found on their person besides nearly one
hund cred dollars 10 cash. The police
learn that they have been hanging ID the
back streets and outskirts of the city,
and were very secretive in their actions.
They DO not carry the usual peddlers
pack and there is some ground for be-
lieylng that they were implicated ID the
recent house breakings that have oc-
Cured 10 the city.

IRs. DENNIS NAGLE of Meme died on
Tuesday of this week at the age of 76.
Her life was a quiet ard unpretentious
one and, is the world judges, uneventful.
But she filled her place and lavished on

They were her world, and intensity of de-

Forestry commissioner N~othrock, ri
Pennsylvania. recently expressed him
self interestingly on the much moolc,
question of whether deforc>tation has
been the cause of any diminutiOn of the
annual rainfall. He says that II forests
have HAD any influence on the rainfall
in Pennsylvania il has V yet been
concluSively proved. The facts within
the range Of his observation g 10 in
dictate that forests do not increase
rainfall 10 any great extent. If al all.
notwithstanding statistics TO he con-
trary from European sources. 1t does
not follow from this that Commissioner
Itothrock is against III" policy of pre-
serving the forests. ON the contrary
he say he would be glad if it could he
shown that The multiplication of trees
and the growth of forests would in
crease the annual rainfall. lie believes
that the forests serve as reservoirs for
the storage of Walcr and thus prolOny
the water supply for the creeks and riy-
crS into the summer months. Snow
mclts more slowly in the woods than
in the openings. and this IA one cause
of the prOlOngation of the water supply
in wooded sections. Besides. the mat
ted leaves and soft mold with which
forests are clrpcted act as a vast
sponge which retains the moisture and
permits it TO run away only gradually.
When forests are removed the snow
is no longer shielded. and the leaves
and mold are also exposed to the cvap.
Ora1ive influence of the suns heat. The
supplies of the creeks and rivers are
thus shortened. The stream are eth
cr running banks full or SluggiShly
flowing through the lowest depths of
their channels. In the West and North
west streams and lakes are drying up
because of the breaking of the soil for
farming purposes. The sod formerly
shed the water into the hOllows and
produced lakes and creeks. Now the
moisture is absorbed by the earth where
it falls. and the water courses dwindle
in consequence. This change is another
logical sequence of the removal of the
earth's natural covering by the advanc-
ing ag~riculurist. The preservation of
water courses 1T the expense of agri-
culture is not to be thought of. but it
would certainly be wise to preserve and
forests for the purpose of huS-
handing the precipitation of the winter
and spring months into the hot and dry
summer months.
