denser clusters, and the hardwOOds
themselves were composed almost en-
tirely of Eastwood, birch, elm, maple,
ash and oak. At present the pine has
been cut from nearly 80 per cent. of
the area, numerous tracts of pinery
are bare; the hardwoods have been
cut into along several of the railway
lines, especially in the oak districts;
hemlock has been sparingly utilized as
yet, but the hardwoods, hemlock and
even the swamp timbers have suffered
in places severely from the fires fol-
lowing pine slashings.
Though the great body of the land
is wooded, and in places we'll timbered,
the cut-over lands without any mer-
charitable timber occupy about 45 per
cent. of the total area, the largest
tract occurring in the areas where pine
predominated Originally this area
contained, by a reasonable calculation,
about 100 billion feet B. M. Of pine
fully 95 per cent. white pine), about
20 billion feet hemlock and about 30
billion feet hardwoods; at present
years has averaged near billion feet,
B. M; hemlock, IL billion feet B. M;
hardwoods, 16 billion feet B. M. OF
the 100 billion feet B. M. pine, there
were cut about sc billion in 1887;
about 20 billion prior to 1873; stand
ing, billion; total, 103 billion, leav-
ing about 80 billion to be accounted
for as wasted and destroyed, chiefly

years has averaged near billion feet,
and was over billion in 1897. How
long this pine will last it is impos
sible to say, since a continued reduc~
ton of the output will l postpone the
end AS matters stand the supply is
rapidly diminishing.
The young timber is cut, or else in
jured by fire, and the bare cut-over
lands remain bare, and their fertility
is still further reduced by repeated
fires and exposure to wind and sun.
The state of Wisconsin in this man
ner loses the growth from about
million acres of land while it's sec
ond greatest industry is gradually
crowded out of existence. Assuming
100 feet B. M. per acre and year as
normal growth for this region-it
might readily be twice that amount
the annual loss of production is at
least 800 million feet B. NJ, the loss
from the removal of the wood indus
tries, which must he the consequence
of exhaustion of supplies, may be in
ferred from the fact that the capital
invested in the lumber industry alone
in 1890 was over 80 million dollars,
that this industry paid that year over
Is million dollars in wages, and that
the timber products at first hand were
worth so million dollars, or about one
third the value of all farm products.
That such a loss will be difficult to
balance in state like Wisconsin,
which itself consumes over 600 mil
lion feet of lumber, besides more than
10 million dollars worth of other for
est products, is evident, and the move
ment for rational and energetic ac-
ton on the part of it's people, there

WISCONSIN FOREST CONDITIONS.
Interesting Facts Disclosed by Re
cent Bulletins.

Wisconsin is the first state to have
undertaken officially a systematic IN
quiry into it's forest wealth. To assist
the newly created forest commission,
the geological and natural history sur
vey of the state, at the suggestion and
with the cooperation of.the U. S. dlv1-
sion of forestry, devoted $500 to this
purpose. The work was performed by
Filbert Roth, one of the experts OF the
division of forestry, and full report
of the same has been published both
by the geological and history survey
of Wisconsin, and by the department
of agriculture as bulletin 16 Of the div1-
sion of forestry. This bulletin con-
tains also an exposition by DIR. Fer
now, the chief of the division, Of the
general, as we'll as the manner of pro-
nature and object of such surveys in
general, as well as the manner Of pro-
cedure and of the character and rel
alive accuracy of the information OBJ
tanned.
The survey was necessarily In form
of a canvass, relying more on the
hhOW1CuS0 I'll CuC AuIlC1Ou0 4OCd1
woodmen than on personal examina-
ton, this latter, for want Of time, hav
ing been restricted to the inspection
of typical cases. During journey
of three and one-half months, 81 coun-
ties, with an area of over Is million
acres, or little over half Of the state,
were visited, no county receiving less
information thus obtained, it appears
that this northern half of Wisconsin
is an undulating plain, with less than
5 per cent. of real billy land, but near
ly 20 per cent. OF low, fiat ground;
that nearly 80 per cent, in four dis
tinct areas, is made up Of loamy sand
lands, the remainder being gray loan
and clay lands, while nearly II per
cent of the total is occupied by
swamps. From the farmers stand
point about 60 per cent. is fit and 81
per cent. unfit for agriculture and
should therefore be kept in forest.
The climate of the entire region is
cold corn is grown successfully only
in the southern and the dryer western
portions; the hickories are practi-
cally wanting as forest trees, and
even the timber oaks are, over the
greater part of the area, represented
only by thinly scattered red oak.
Formerly this entire area was
continuous forest, fading out at the
southern and southwestern portion in
to jack pine and oak openings, or
brush prair1es On the sandy areas
the forest was real pinery, without
merchantable hardwoods; on the re-
mainder it was a mixed forest of hard
woods and conifers, with scattering
smaller tracts resembling pinery and,
in fewer cases, pure bodies of hard
woods. Hemlock with birch formed
the conspicuous companions of white
pine on the loan lands of the eastern
half, but the former was wanting and
the latter largely displaced by oak in
the western, especilly southwestern
part. The swamps were largely stock
ed with timber, generally tam
arack with cedar, and only part Of
them we're bare grass marshes or
moss boys. The mixed forest was
made up of few species; the scattered
white pine lowered high above the
surrounding trees, hemlock occurred
mostly as old timber scattered or in

A few weeks since the Labor

Truelsen, the latter, in his
attempt to secure reelection,
would receive the support OF
both the Herald and the News
Tribune. We make no claim
to the gift of prophecy, but our
prediction is already in a fair
way of fu1filment. Every wide

Competition is working out
results peculiar to itself in the
strike of the boys employed in
the fruit jar factory of Ball
Brothers at Muncie, Ind. The
boys have been getting S. per
week, but they demand $6, and
threaten to strike unless their
demand is granted. The firm
states that tn. demand will
not be granted, and there is no
fear of a strike, as men have
been employed at So to take the
places of the boys who are de-
manding Sc. When it becomes
possible to hire full grown
men for the pitiable sum of So
per week, for the purpose of
breaking down a strike of H.
year-old boys, the competitive
system has about reached the
elimination of atrocity and the
day of it's destruction is near at
hand.

Theodore Durrant, the MUIR
derer of Blanche Lamonte and
Minnie Williams in California,
was finally hanged for his
crime on Friday last, at San
Quintin. He protested his in
nocence with his last breath
and if guilty went to face his
Creator with a lie on his lips.
The Christian people refused
him burial in their church
cemeteries and the crematories
refused to reduce his remains
to ashes. That his remains
would defle the cemetery or
leave a bad effect on the cre-
matory can hardly be expected,
yet the good Christian (?) peo-
pie could not forbear to follow
him beyond the grave, thereby
humiliating his already over
burdened parents. Charity in
this world is becoming a thing
of the past and so-called Chris
tianity a mockery when such
things can happen.

disguise this fact and keep the
knowledge of it from the rank
