Increassd nemard For Oak.

The Northwestern Lumberman calls
attention to the fact that the magniii-
cent oak forests north of the Ohio river,
in the central part of the northern states,
have largely disappeared. within the
past five years, there has been an increas-
ing demand for oak, in spite of business
depression, more especially for such
timber as goes into house furnishing, in
Guiding plain and quarter sawed red oak
and white oak. The duration OF the
Wisconsin red oak supply is pretty
plainly indicated, and in the meantime
remnants of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
southern Illinois oak will have disappear
ed, except i'm stock farm holdings and the
great bulk of the supply will hereafter
come from south of the Ohio. OF course
there is oak in all of the southern states,
but the alluvial bottom lands must furn-
ish the great bulk of the timber, and as
Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia
are partly dcnuded. the main supply Will
soon be derived from the lower Missis-
sippi aud its tributaries.
If the finest area of oak timber in the
world, namely, that north of the Ohio
river, has been stripped while the coun-
try's population and industries were COM
paratively small. how long will the re-
manning supply last when the needs are
measured by our future population and
industrial developments? Walnut is
gone; cherry, birch and maple will not
last many years, and thereafter the de-
mand for oak will he much greater and
will rapidly increase. II must be remem-
bered, too, that the oak lands are good for
agriculture after the timber is cut, and
for this reason the denudatiOn will 90 on
with greater rapidity than on the lands
less valuable for tillage. When the tide
of immigration sets strongly toward the
alluvial areas Of the lower Mississippi
and its tributaries, the hardwood forests
will melt rapidly away before the attack
of the farmer. 1t is for this reason that
large holdings of southern and other
hard woods are now being secured in
the south. After few years opportuni-
ties for such investments on large scale
will Ice gone forever

Home From the Hospital.

Frank and William Baker, who were
the victims of a dynamite explosion at
Shoemaker's lime quarry, near this place,
several months ago. whereby the former
lost one of his arms and it was thou ght
that both had been rendered permanent
ly blind, returned last week from Mercy
Hospital, Pittsburg, where they were
treated by DR.. Robson, one of the lead
ing oculists of that city. The sight of
one of Franks eyes it was found was
totally destroyed, but he is now able To
distinguish large objects with the remain
ing one, and il is hoped that in time the
sight of il viii be permanently restored.
William is gradually recovering the use
of his eyes and the oculist thinks that
he can restore the sight Of both of them.
After remaining two months with their
families the unfortunate brothers will re-
turn to Pittsburg for denomination
and for further treatment.

OF Interest to Hunters.

The last legislature passed a new tres
pass law which will bc of interest To gun
ners, now that the season for rabbits is
open. Under the old law the smallest
penalty for trespassing was 81. but under
the new act OF assembly the penalty i'm
posed cannot be more than the damages
done. There is an idea prevalent that
hunters cannot be arrested when there
are no notices posted or published forbid
ding trespassing on individual property.
This is mistaken idea. Suit can be
brought against hunters even if there are
no notices, although recovery can only
be had for the actual amount of dam
ages.
Farmers are beginning to object very
strongly TO the large number of men
with their dogs, who roam over their
properties in the pursuit of game, claim
ing that many fences are broken down
or opened to pass through and never
closed, and it is also alleged that many
have no scruples against bagging turkeys
and chickens, when no one is about.
The part OF the new trespass law af-
fecting gunners says that anyone who
shall tTample or in any way injure any
grass or grain. shall pay penalty not
exceeding so for each ofI'ense.
