SODA AND GLASS WORKS.
Additional News Concerning the Com.
pany Recently Formed.

The Paint, Oil and Drug Review re-
fers to a Laramie enterprise as follows:
THE American Native Soda, Glass
and Chemical company, Chicago and
Laramie, Wyo., has perfected its or
ga~nization by electing officers as fol-
lows: A. A. Paddon, president; P. R.
DeStieger, first vice president; Charles
NJ. Carr, second vice president; Fl. NJ.
Paddon, secretary; c. NJ. Flint, treasur-
err; w. G. Carter, general manager.
The company has opened offices at 1886
LaSalle street. Chicago-Suite 1926. 1t
is stated that the concern is now ship
ping sulphate of soda for glassmaking,
and that during the past few years up
wards of 100 900 tons of the product has
been marketed. When the American
company gets it new plant built and in
o~peration-for which purpose 5000
shares of its preferred stock, par value
of 500 each, is now being sold-it will
have a capacity of at least 70 tons per
day. According to Wyoming papers
the soda concern has obtained control
Of the glassworks at Laramie and will,
operate them in connection with this
soda enterprise. General Manager Carter
stated to a press representative at the
Chicago office on Tuesday that applica.
tons for blocks of stock had been made
before the stock had been printed ant
was ready for delivery to buyers, ant
that the entire issue will likely be clos
ed out within 60 days. The proceeds o
the stock, he said, is to be put into al
$500, 600 additional plant at the Lara
mic soda lakes under the control of thi:
company. The new concern expects t.
pay a IL Per cent dividend on its 50,
900 GOO capital, besides marketing theil
products at figures which may surprise
the consuming trade, and glassmaker
and others are naturally awaiting de
velopments with the keenest interest.

WYOMING FORESTS.
Superintendent Garbutt Making a Tour
of His District.

Mr.. C. w. Garbutt of Sheridan, Wyo.,
superintendent of ~forresters of Wyo-
ming and South Dakota, is in town to-
day. Mr.. Garbutt has just received from
a our of inspection in the Medicine
Bow range and on the upper North
Platte. An outline of his work is en-
braced in the following circular:
l.. The density, character and size
Of the timber.
2. The character of the land, wheth.
err it is steep. rough or mountainous,
and how much. IL any. is susceptible of
cultivation Or adapted to grazing.
8. The probable number Of actual
settlers or the land, and when they es-
tablished themselves there; whether
they are there seeking permanent
|.homes. or simply with a speculative
intent to obtain the timber or some
other prospective advantage, and
whether amy interests involved will be
injured (by reserving the lands.
4. Whether the lands are better
adapted to forest use than other pur-
poses; that is, whether the preserva-
ton of the timber for present and fur
ther use, and as a water conservative,
constitutes the foremost consideration
in connection with these lands.
In reporting upon this point, you will
show whether the conditions are such
as required the preservation OF a part,
or all, of the timber, keeping in view
the forest reservation policy Of this Of
flee to supply present and future need
for timber by providing for the use of
matured trees which can be cut without
detriment to the reserves.
1t is important that you should at all
times bear clearly in mind the purposes
to rbe served by forest reservations, and
endeavor to make it generally under
stood that it is not intended to Withhold
from general use of the public the acres
covered thereby, and pracuically lock
up their resources, Gut that the intent
is to maintain and utilize their forest
products in a state of the highest con-
tinued production for the direct bene-
fit of the people dependent theron to
supply local demands within the state
in which the timber grows.
g.. You will report any other facts
coming under your observation bearing
upon the questions involved in consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY Of setting these
apart for forest reservation purposes.

M. Pa. COMMITTEE.

The decnnatlon by Justice White, Of
the supreme court. OF a place on the
peace commission is not unexpected,
as there we're hints fo5 some time past
that he might not be prevailed upon to
accept the honor Justice White. being
a Democrat in politics. and the Presi-
dent not desiring that the peace com
nissIon should be made up entirely Of
Republicans. the presumption is that
whoever is chosen as Che nth member
will be also Democrat of distinction
and ability.
SO far the commission is made up OF
men spiendldly qualified and their
choice has been generally endorsed by
the country. There IS great confidence
in the ability of nil, and with Justice
White there was general satisfaction
expressed. This satisfaction Is not like
ly to be lessened when the entire COM
mission is made up.

This mild form fortunately. is the

nostalgia, has grown less common IN

helplessness and despair OF ever seeing
