Michigan wheels into line with Min
neapolis in the adoption of an excellent
initiative measure for the eStablSll-
ment of Il wiser system of forestry.
Governor Pingree has set his signature
to a law passed by the recent Legisla-
ture establishing a State forestry com.
mission of three members. one of
whom shall be the commissioner of the
State land office. The members like
those of the Minnesota commission. are
to serve without pay, but an appropria-
ton of $1,000 is made for the payment
of expenses. Their duties are made to
correspond in substance with those of
the Minnesota commission. They lack,
however, the aid of any such useful
official as the Minnesota State fire war
den. But that the present measure
was regarded by the Legislature as
merely tentative or preparatory is
shown by the numerous provisions
made for the gathering of information
which shall take form lin the words of
the acU in "a report which shall EN-
body a definite forestry policy for the
State of Michigan" An important fea.
ture of the act is the requirement that,
on the recommendation of the forestry
commission, the commissioner of the
land office shall withdraw from sale
100000 acres of "State tax homestead
lands and swamp lands and with
hold the same until after the adjourn
ment of the legislative meeting after
such reservation. This points Ia the
probability of the forestry commission
being given jurisdiction hereafter over
very extensive domains. If the adj
mirable law proposed to the Lcgisla-
ture of Wisconsin last winter had not
failed of passage, and if Ohio could h,
induced to adopt a similar measure. we
should now have belt of territory en-
tending from the coast of Massachu-
sets to the eastern border of the Ia
kotas in which the advocates of sciel-
titic forestry have won the preliminary
victories of what, it is to be hoped,
will prove the conquest of continent.
1t is confidently thought that between
now and the next session of their Safe
Legislatures public sentiment will have
been so far educated as to insure II /.
closing of the gaps referred to and the
initiation of forestry measures in Spv-
eral other Sta es. In California. the
law for the protection of the State
from forest fires having failed. pr
vate organization has been formed for
the purpose, which proposes to furnish
the protection, so far as possible at its
own expense. Probably this patriotic
movement will shame the Legislature
into action when next it meets.

of alighting upon the mouths of people
and biting them. The lips swell to

on the general appearance of a rare
