Cutting Trees to Save Forests.

IL save
Doctor Fernow, chief of the forestry
division OF the department of agricul-
ture, says that trees must be cut down
am ought to be cut down, not only
for commercial and Industrial uses,
lut also for the good of other growing
trees, and all that the scientific for
ester asks is that the cutting should
be done judiciously. The ignorant
lumberman who does not look to the
future cuts down all his forests at
once, while the forester cuts the
trees so as to make it permanent in
vestment. The old fable of the man
who killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs has been wasted on many
lumbermen in the past, but it is to be
hoped that the establishment of the
school of forestry in Cornell university,
the first in the country, is destined 20
work great revolution in the ideas Of
intelligent people.
Some Ben Davis History:-The first
bearing Ben Davis trees known to the
writer, west of the lakes, were in the
orchard of Avery Aldrich, at Tiskilwa,
Ill. Tyler McWhorter, of Aledo, Ill,
secured scions in 1858 and began its
propagation. A son of Mr.. McWhorter
soon after started nursery at Brook
Ign, Iowa. and began the first propaga-
tiol of the variety west OF the river.
In 1861 we began its propagation in the
Benton County Nurseries. The Ouch
ess and Ben Davis were the leading
varieties sent out for several years and
at that time the Ben Davis was re-
garded equal to the Duchess in hardi-
ness and this opinion was not dispelled
until we had passed through the test
winter of 1S70-1.-Iowa State Register.
Flower Bill of New York.-New
York City pays annually for flowers
more than the entire rye or buck

as much as the natural gas production
is valued at. This, In most of its
phases, is strictly luxury, but It Is a
luxury the indulgence in which, by
those who can afford It, does only

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Journal, fully impressed with the importance of Wrangel as prospective mining centre. and of the great advantages to accrue to the business interests of the town by encouraging men to prospect in good faith, has es, tablished d mining feature to it office.
 We will arrange to exhibit specimens of rock in one of our large office windows, and invite claim owners to leave their specimens with us for inspection by the public. We will receive such specimens upon the follow ing conditions only:
 The owner must state the name of the location; date and place of location: if assays are had, a copy of the assay, giving name of assayer; the amount of work done upon the claim; il short we want from each person leaving specimens, an open and honest statement of everything relating to the location which will give an intelligent conception of it.
 If the property is for sale we will try to sell it for a fair com mission. If capital is needed to aid in development, we will en- deavour to supply if.
 Our paper is growing in cir culation and influence and We will be pleased to give the widest circulation to it's mining depart ment. We hope the business men of the town will see the possible advantages to be deriv- ed from this effort, and that they will do what they can to create a splendid exhibit for the infor- nation of those who will in the future visit us with a view of purchasing or developing mining property.

of men who are not rushed by every. wild hurrah. These men work methodically and stead fastly upon an intelligent meth cd. They have some knowledge of rock formations and minerali- zation. They know how to wash dirt. They know gold from mi ca. They know enough when they find a promising cropping to use powder to sink a prospect hole and they know too when they find something which just flies it that it is necessary to dig and dig hard. We know of no more inviting field for the lode miner than that of which Wran- gel is the centre. It ought to be the care of our towns people to give every encouragement possi ble to honest seekers and honest miners. They can also serve this desirable industry in like measure by squelching every abominable fraud who lies about prospects he never saw or about rock assays that were never made.

SATURDAY. DEC. 2. 1898.

The Alaskan, published at Sitka, discusses the indian ques- ton with scant charity to the in dian. It quotes the old custom of "gating" them out of the town limits at night for police req sons. Seemingly the Sitka Indi an as characterized in the article referred to is an undesirable neighbor, who believes in a san guinary vendetta to requite the shedding of tribal blood. They are accused Of assaulting women and of "moving ill force" upon people who have become obonx- ious to them. The remedy is a vigilance committee to guard through night watches and as sist the savage into peaceful paths. It asks why the old shut out rule is not enforced-and as yet no response has vibrated our tympanum.
 It is surprising that upon the ground hallowed by judicial temple such barbaric conditions should exist. The siwash, when the district court has ceased to adjudge and decree and has fold ed it's mantle and revolves in it's circuit to Juneau 10 punish of fences and administer justice there, should embOlden to in dulge in the doing of unlawful and violent things known to the law as public offences.
 It isn't necessary for a man or woman to be a siwash to be devilish when drunk. If a lip lock or throat-stopper could be applied to every man who gets violently drunk. the gates might safely be left ajar, regardless of his color.
 The suggestion of a vigilance committee favors with bad SavOr our governmental com potency, as enlightened people, living where antediluvial gates are not "au fait' will believe we are not a fit people to entrust with an enlarged and enlighten- ed self government, when in the mutations of time our several Alaskan communities shall be- come populous enough to enable us to send senators to Washing ton from soverign state, where they can be as sassy as any of them.
 Now in Nrangel, for instance, and we do not presume to an in- vidious distinction, we have no such necessity. Our indians, pardon the personal pronoun, are of a different sort, they never lay in wait and never steal. As between the average white man, a siwash and bag of nuggets in sight, on a proposition of it's return to the owner, our prede- delictions would go out to the siwash-drunk or sober.

friends phrase it, i've mean the late war; the question of res tricted money was one of the greatest importance. The com mon condition throughout the country was one of stagnation and financial oppression. It is absolutely astounding therefore
 when we look upon the statisti- cal figures so far of 1898. There can be no argument needed to prove that this result was preci-
 pitated by the war. It brought sleeping energies into intense action; it turned the direction of
 the gold drift, as shown in strik-
 ing the international trade bal ance. In 10 years the export difference in gold has been 12O,- OCO,00O in our favor, and our output for 1898 will exceed S50,- GOO, GOO.
 The sovereignty of gold as a
 metal has stimulated that class of mining. The retinements of science are applied to it's extrac-
 ton and reduction. The busi- ness has become safer than man.
 ufactures or trade. The earth
 is filled with it. It has been eX-
 tracted from the waters of the great oceans. Steadily the United States grows in it's gold produc-
 ton, as it does in a hundred other
 industries. Developed wealth
 from natures inexhaustable store
 house is the magic wand that labor and genius weavcs over our beloved country which tran scendS all others in immeasura-
 ble wealth as it does in it's con ception of the individual rights of men. 200, ,OOO,O0O of actual money has been added to our To- cal trade exchange. Vast as this sum appears: beneficial as 1t
 is to the business of our entire country, We stand aghast. There are in the world personal fortunes equal to that amount.
 We see therefore that money is reciprocal with trade. It is in come if we have surplus to sell and it is the reverse if we buy to satisfy want. As gold is para mount because it will purchase any of the products of labor it's production ought to be the most inviting of all employments. AS well watered valleys and fruitful soils assure permanent industrial blessings so it has come to pass with rugged and al most sterile regions that their hidden treasures are as prOtita- ble to seek as are those of the field and meadow or of man. The farmer is gen orally dependent upon the sea sons, the cost of transport and a demand governed by the acci- dents of famine or plenty in for aign lands. The manufacturers goods may be profitable to-day and unstable tomorrow. With ! the miner there is nothing to sell. He gives no credit, he needs no customer and is depend ant upon none. If he has found q mine there remains nothing for him to apply his energies to except intelligently develope it. It is surprising therefore in view of these generally known truths that more men have not devoted themselves strictly to this branch of business, as a business.

 less tramping about in the nope of finding gold sticking out in fantastic settings in some inde- tinable matrix awaiting their ap- proach. The vocabulary of the itinerant miner just from the farm soon swells in technicality to enable him to impress his lis teners with profound convic- tion of his knowledge of the sub- ject. Thousands of such people have floated through Wrangel and gone out again with the tide back to the tenderness of their wives and the steady grind of their old employments.
