Trees grow to be utilized, to fur
nish us with material, to be harvested
at the proper stage of maturity just
as any other crop. Forests must be
removed to furnish land for food pro-
duction and material for the various
arts. But there has been much need
less removal and waste of forest
growth from soils and situations
which cannot be used for profitable
food production, when the wood crop
is the only profitable growth, and
the land is then left to grow mp III
brambles and brush and remains
worse than useless for many decades
How much better the exercise of 8
little thought and care in the frs
place would have been?
The products of the forest ranE
next in value to agricultural produce
estimating its value simply in dollars
and cents, but when we add to Thu
the unsurpassed beauty of the fores
growth and its Importance in pre-
serving proper climatic conditions it
value becomes inestimable. DIR. 3
e. Fernow, Chief of the Division o
Foresty, has said in one OF his ad
dresses, that wood, next to food, is o
the highest Importance and withou
wood our civilization would be entire

AsHwooD, April 5.-The Home Mis-

Friday night at the home of Miss Annie

the benefit of the needy. The enter

One of the features of the evening was
the presentation of two baskets of

and gentleman In the house. This
difficult question was decided by ballot.
The following gentlemen receiving
equal number of votes, they drew
straws for the prize: Rev. S. p. Halves,
Messrs. Ernest Dixon, Wilson Dobbins
and Julius Fleming. The successful
one, Mr.. Julius Fleming, being urged
to respond, made a speech, which, al
though short, was thoroughly appro-
pirate, and the storm of applause
proved that in this case brevity was
certainly the soul of wit Miss Mabel
Stephenson and Miss Christine Wat
kins were voted the most popular
young ladies'. Miss Christine drew the
winning straw. A heartfelt pity was
I expressed bv quite a number for the
three young gentlemen who had their
speeches in readiness when they should
receive the prize. Theil air castles
came crashing down in ruins when they
failed even in having the pleasure OF
drawing straws.

.ENGLAND'S premier MAY Retire.
SALISBURY'S SUCCESS SOR.
British Mobiles Forming Plan to Secure the
Coveted Position.

In spite of the official denial of the
Marquis of Salisbury's approaching re-
signation of the premiership, belief in
its truth Is strong in political circles,
at London, where IL Is considered that
his retirement Is inevitable within n
few months. This view of the under
current was confirmed by a cabinet
minister Wednesday, who privately re-
marked that the Duke of Devonshire
had declared that he means to have the
premiership when the Marquis of Sails
bury resigns. The minister quoted ad-
ded:
This means that the candidates will
be the Duke of Devonshire and Mr.. Bal
four the latter being aided by Mr..
Chamberlain. There Is not much love
between the Duke of Devonshlre and
Mr.. Chamberlain, and the succession
to Lord Salisbury will be test between
them. If the Duke of Devonshire does
not succeed he will lose considerably
as It will raise Mr. Chamberlain more
distinctly TO the leadership. Mr.. Cham
berlain therefore, will support Mr.. Bal
four, in the belief that should Mr.. BAL
four, as premier, make mistakes. the
reversion of the premiership will go to
him Mr.. Chamberlain
The announcement of the coming re-
tirement of the Marquis of Salisbury
has given an opportunity to the press
and even the Conservative newspapers
to rake the premier over the Goals for
failing to smooth the widespreading
disaffection in the party ranks.

EXPLORERS RETURN.
Expedition Which Was Supposed Lost Turns
up in London

Cavendish, the nephew of the duke of
Devonshire, who, with n companion,
Lieut.. Andrew, has been exploring
Somaliland, East Africa, at the head
of an expedition composed of ninety
Ascaris, and who, with his party. was
reported to have been massacred by
the natives, has arrived safely in Lon
don from Zanzibar, via Kikuyu, which
place the expedition reached on August
8, last. The explorer has had a re-
markable journey. lasting less than a
year. during which he traversed much
of the unexplored country between
Berbera and Mombasa. He and his
only European companion, Lieut.. An
drew, were everywhere received with
cordiality. Even the Boranis, who were
so hostile to the expedition commanded
by DIR. Donaldson Smith of Philadel-
phia, freely supplied Cavendish with
cattle and provisions. In many of the
villages Cavendish found men and wo-
men with mutilation inflicted by the
ferocious warriors of King Menelik of
Abysinnia and the expedition begged
to remain in the country and defend its
inhabitants against the invaders.
