this quantity of raw material will

paper stock Is made up with 20 per
cent. Of ground wood pulp. The best
known spruce land, virgin growth,
possesses a stand of about 1000 feet to
the acre, taking the best as basis.
Twenty-Five acres of this best spruce
land will therefore contain $4,000 feet
of timber. An average gang of log
gers will cut this in about eight days.
This entire quantity of wood turned in
at any one of the large mills will be
converted in "A single day into about
25O tons of such pulp as goes to make

make about an equal weight of paper,

Another National Park.

The project to create a great ma
tional park or forest reserve in the
beautiful lake country of northern
Minnesota by setting aside 1000, 900
acres of timberland is one in which
all lovers Of nature should feel an in
terest. The tract mentioned is one of
the few that have not been reached by
the rapacious lumberman and an en-
terprise looking to it's preservation is
pralseworthy 1t would put an end to
timber devastation in that region, en-
courage propagation of game, and pro-
tect from exhaustion the hundreds of
lakes and streams with which that
country abounds. But why should the
federal government be asked to under
take the project? Why should not the
state of Minnesota undertake it, just
as New York is undertaking to create
a great public park in the Adlron-
dacks? The scheme could not fail to
pour money into that state Already
thousands of persons annually visit
this wilderness at the headwaters of
the Mississippi to hunt and fish and to
recover health, and establishment Of
the proposed park would attract ad-
ditional thousands. Moreover, it would
be Minnesota which would chiefly gain
from protection of water and timber
supplies in this region. The federal
government owns about 100000 acres
of land in this tract, and probably
there would be no objection to it's con-
is difficult to see why it should be ex-
pected to do more. The park would
really be a state institution, and Min
nesota is rich and thriving enough to
bear the cost of the scheme.

eleven and one-half tons. But while
the quantity did not come up to- the eS-

superior to that OF the preceding year.
The German beet had never before been
so sweet: its sugar contents amounted
to- 1886 per cent. The result was that

beets as was ever produced before. viz.

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.

The results of the 1s9S-s9 German
beet-sugar season were on the whole
satisfactory, according to- the Ameri-
can Consul at MadgeburE. who says
that while there was some decrease In
production of beets there was no ma
terial decrease in the final results. The
good prices realized for raw sugar dur
ing the last month OF the season.
which reached their high-water mark
during the month of August at Il.a5
marks per fifty Kilograms (2.i3 cents
per pound). more than compensated
for the low prices ruling earlier in the
season. One conclusion reached by the
Consul will interest sugar producers in
other countries. and that is that the
area devoted to beets is not expanding
as the following figures OF acreage
planted would confirm:

pounding of stock running at large in
the public streets ard highways.
Some of your readers may jump tn
the conclusion that l mean sugar
stock. but that seems to be pretty well
corralled at present, ard what refer
to is live stock.

MUST STOP IT.
Cabinet Discusses the Action of
Mr.. Edward Atkinson of
Boston
In Sending Circulars to Soldiers
at Manila Advising Against
ReinliStment.
10 Action to Be Taken at Present
Aside From Stopping the
Circulars.
IF the OffenSe Is Continued Both
Fine and Imprisonment Are
Probable.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The absentees
from the cabinet meeting were Secre.
taries Gage, Long, Alger and Wilson.
One of the subjects Of discussion was
the circulars which were mailed to the
troops at Manila, criticizing the Philip
pine policy Of the government and adj
vising volunteers whose term Of service
is about to expire not to re-enlist. A
the matter said that Mr.. Edward Atkin-
son of Boston, who is believed to have
been largely instrumental in the prepar-
alton and sending out Of these circulars,
was unquestionably guilty of assisting
an insurrection against the authority OF
the United States, and was subject to a
term Of imprisonment or heavy fine,
or both The law, which it is said has
been violated. is Sec. 1894 of the Revised
Statutes, which is as follows:
Every person who incites, sets on
foot. assists or engages in any rebellion
| or insurrection against the authorities
Of the United States or the laws thereof
or gives aid OF comfort thereto, shall be
punished by Imprisonment for not more
than 10 years, or by fine of not more
than $40, 900, or 10y both Of such punish
ments, and shall. moreover, be lncap
able of holding any Office under tn
United States"
What action. if any, will be taken II
!. the matter has not been determined
, but it is said that the government is dis
posed to regard the acts OF Mr.. Atklnso
as those Of person without any prope
conception of the gravity of the otfen>
committed and the government may nc
Just now take action against Mr.. Atkll
son and his assistants. The postmaSte
