Hon. c. w. Garfield of Grand Rapids
who has probably given more attention
to the forestry problem than any other
liam in Michigan in al address at
Kalamazoo painted the following pic
ture of the destruction of Michigan's
forest:
lin the territory that is now Mich
Igan there were 8 300, 600 acres Of forest
when first visited. 1t was the grandest
forest on the face of The globe Al
though no, the largest, it contained a
greater variety of trees than was known
anywhere. 1t was beautlu. picture.
There were maple enough 10 cover the
floors Of all the buildings IN America,
and furnish sweetness for all the people,
including those in the Philippine IS
lands. There were oaks, pine and
beech at the time of the first invasion.
The second brought the pioneer farmers
to make homes. The trees were in the
way of their living. They had To give
way to the forests layers They destroy
ed them They did the only thing they
could do. They became so used to slay-
ing them that they cut off larger area
than was necessary. \ large portion Of
the forest heritage has been wasted
Then came the lumbermen and they
were the ones who did the damage to
the forest heritage. They destroyed
wantonly and the state never received
the benefit.
There are no forests to hold the ram
falls back, although the rainfall is As
great as ever. The water rushcs into
the setting basins and takes the life out
of the soil SO it cost twice as much to
raise bushel of wheat as it did years
ago The destruction Of the forests has
been damage TO agriculture"
This but emphasizes the need of state
action. The damage has been done;
II must now be repaired. There are
generations 10 come and that state is
wIsest which legIslates for the future
as we'll as present. State forestry pre-
serves should be maintained and kept
free from trespassers. The young
growth should be protected and new
timber planted Would it make some
expense? Probably, but in fifty years
the timber would repay all cost and
Weld dividend.

The st. Johns News which has never
been classed as republican organ or
as one which sympathIzed with any re-
publican doctrine had the following edi-
torlal last week which makes most inter-
esting reading when compared with lis
editorials m so on the money question.
Tho money in circulation in The
Un ted States has more than doubled in
the last twenty years, ii has increased
80 per cent since 1886, amt more than
25 per cent since July |, 1896. A table
just prepared by the treasury bu~cau of
statistics shows that on July |, 1879,
the amount in circulation was SSlS, 63l =
1913; on July /, 1889. 1897, 964,770
and on April l, 1899, 1927 SIC 42.
No period IN our history has shown II
more rapid growth in the money in cir
culation then the last t"ree years. On
July |, 1896, the BEGINNING of the fiscal
year, the amount of circulation was
500, 725. 200. By July |, 1897, il
had reached 81 ,6l6 ,O2S, 246, an increase
OF 1886, ,046. o. July /, 1898, it
was 81 .S43, 49,, 749. AN increase Tor that
year of Sl97 ,lO7 ,jO3, and at the begin.
ming OF the present month it was 81 927
946 942 al increase i'm nine months If
the Year of S94.Ill.lO3 The increase
since July |, 1896, has been at the rate
of nearly halt million dollars for each
business dav, and during the past yea"
has averaged considerably more than
half million dollars for each business
day. The percapta circulation on
April l. 1899, was the largest ever
shown at that period of the year in the
history Of the country. At that date 1t
was, according to the official statement
of the treasury department. $25, 10 per
capita while that OF April |, 1890, was
1913 SO; April l. 1897, S22.0l, and april
l,lS16, S2l % The increase in gold
coin in circulation during the past few
years has been quite as reasonable AS
the general increase IN circulation. On
April l. 1896, the gold coin in circula-
ton was, according To the treasury lig-
ureS, $445.9l2, 256; mn April l. 1897

BADLY SCORCHED.
Kennels Store House and CLARK ros.
Saloon Wreck ed by Fire.

Kennels Store House and CLARK ros.
Saloon Wrecked by Fire.
The fire department was called out
in hurry last Saturday morning TO
find a fierce fire raging in the rear
part of Clark Bros. saloon and w. IL.
Kennels store loom adjoining it ON
the north. Both buildings were APP
parently past saving when the depart
ment reached the scene but the boys
got 10 work with their usual energy
and soon had the flames under contr oil.
The store house was completely wrecked
ed, only portion of the charred
frame standing and the saloon while
badly damaged by fire was quite as
badly damaged by water An explo-
sion of gas beneath the floor of the
saloon also assisted in the general
wreck raising up the floor, tipping
over the contents and lifting up the
flag~tones IN front. A big plate glass
In the front OF the Charles building adj
joining the saloon on the south was
driven IN and smashed oul of all rccOg-
milton. The Cirrk boy, were sleeping
ia a back room of the building and
were awakened by the flames appar-
emily reaching for them and barely six
feet away. They made a most hasty
exit without taking time To mike an
extensive toilet.
The loss is hard To estimate. Mr..
Kennels puts his AT about 500 with no
insurance. TIE saloon building was
owned by Mrs. Hart and was insured
for $1,000 in Longs Agency. The sa-
loon stock and fixtures were insured
tor $1,000 in Moore'S Agency.
There is talk of the building being
replaced by fine brick structure and
it is 10 be hoped that it will be.
