Forest Preservation.

When the joint high commission be-
tween the United states and Canada
reaches the question of interchange of
forestry products it is to be hoped for
The welfare of the country that every
encouragement will be given the pulp
wood producers across the border.
The paper mills of the United States
consume' enormous quantities of
spruce and other woods annually, and
the demand for paper is such that they
must have the pulp wood. The uuan-
tity of spruce in the United States. as
well as of white woods that supple
ment the spruce in the paper mill, is
limited to extremely narrow circles
We're we forced to depend upon the
domestic forests alone the hills of the
country would be stripped of every
possible makeshift that the paper mills
might run. AS it is, the question of
forestry is one that perplexes not only
the individual and the community. but
the State and Federal government. In
the undue haste of the lumbermen to
hurry his his timber to market the
grandest forests in the world have
been cut and rushed through the saw
mill, and the result is a blackened and
barren surface covering much of the
area from ocean to ocean. Canada
has great quantities of excellent spruce
fit for pulp and it must come to the
paper mills of the United States or the
destruction of the remnant of forest
VIII go on. The interests of the Unit
ed States require the preservation of
as much as possible or the remaining
forest and the creation of more, and
the use meanwhile of as much Canadi-
an spruce as can be proftably brought
TO the mills. Canada Is willing to sup
ply the pulp wood for American paper
mills. That being the case, from
Canada it should come, or we shall
have neither forest nor mills
And every lumbenman and every pa
per mill man in the United States rec
)gnlze the truth of that statement

0hio'S Centennial.

We assume that of course, there will
be no serious antagonism of the bill
making an appropriation for the Ohio
centennial in 1902. The proposed Gel
ebration is purely national in charac-
ter, since it refers to Ohio's admission
TO the Union as state, and congress
can perform no more patriotic func-
tfon than that of encouraging the spir-
1t which underlies demonstrations of
this nature. Ohio is the fourth among
the states in point of population and
wealth producing capacity 1t is sec
ond to none in the matter of high civ
ilzation. social order, and country-loy-
Ing sentiment. Ohio is the mother of
presidents, statesmen and soldiers
Its people are enlightened. Its history
is the history of free institutions in
their best and highest aspects. The
Union may be as proud of Ohio as
Ohio Is of the Union. The ideas and
the practices of the individual liberty
have no more brilliant exemplar than
as furnished by that splendid and pro-
gressive commonwealth.
The nations helps itself and honors
its institutions in promoting such pat
rlotic demonstrations as Ohio proposes
In 1902. The question before Congress
in this respect is one over which there
can be no debate or hesitation. Wash

EAGAN is HONEST.
Says His Honor As a Soldier Has
Been Attacked,

Washington, Jan. 26.-In the Eagan
court martial tria To-day the testi-
mony of Gen. Miles beforethe war in
yestigating committee was presented
and the prosecution rested the case.
Gen. Eagan's counsel then put in evil
dence the correspondence between
Eagan and Miles published in a New
York newspaper, also extracts from
that Interview Col. Alexander, of the
subsistence department, was called.
and testified that Gen. Eagan was in a
high state of excitement the day he
prepared his testimony for the war in
Vestigating commission. Col. Geo. B.
Davis, assistant to Gen. Eagan, also
testified that Eagan was intensely ex-
cited when he read his testimony.
He had 1t read to a witness, who ad-
Vlsed some changes, but Eagan excit-
edly said he would not change a word
Eagan was so nervous that he was un-
lit to perform his regular routine du
ties.
Miss Miller, the stenographer to
whom Eagan dictated his testimony,
testified that he was Unusually nervous
and excited while debating the matter.
Gen. Eagan himself in his testimony
showed Enthusiastically that he was
suffering under deep sense of wrong.
He declared he was an honest man.
that he never profited one cents worth
by any contracts, and that he was now
TOO poor to pay his attorneys fees.
Tears filled his eyes as he declared his
honor as soldier had been attacked.
The court adjourned until tomorrow

Some Great Figures in Trade Settle
mentS,
mentS.

New York, Jan. est required the
greater part of three months to fl
nance the war loan authorized by Con-
gress last summer, and no little skill
was displayed both by the Secretary
of ...e Treasury and by national bank
officers, who acted as informal assist
ants, in so arranging for the exchange
of bonds into money as to disturb the
money market inappreciably. The
war loan brought into the treasury
$780, 1000. Yesterday in Al minutes
exchanges were made at an institution
in this city aggregating $347 900, 900 in
round numbers. When the exchanges
were completed it was discovered that
the balance aggregated in round num-
bers S12,000,000. That is to say, this
enormous sum of money almost twice
as large as the war loan floated last
summer, passed through the Clearing
House in the form, of course, of
checks and drafts the debts and cred
its were balanced, and there remained
to be paid after exchanges were ef-
fected only $12,OOO,OOO.
There is probably no more perfect
organization or system than that
which made this gigantic liquidation
involving only payment of$12 900, 900
possible.
1t is almost tlresome to speak of
broken records, and yet in justice it
ought to be said that we have never
had record which compares with
this either in amount or the proper
tionate smallness of the final balance.
II represents, of course, another high
record, although only in part, for it
was not due entirely to the phenome-
nal operations upon the Stock Ex-
change on Monday that exchanges
amounting to $347,OOO,OOO were made
possible. A great volume of business
outside the exchanges contributed in
no small measure to make this total
great.
The Board of Health of this city has
placed itself in line with the other rec
ord breakers of the day and has made
this morning an announcement of it's
estimate of the population of the en-
larged New York. The estimates here
tofore made by this department have
been found approximately so accurate
and are based on such systematic and !
thorough methods that any new report
which comes from that bureau is re-
ceived here with credulity. The board
that the population of the
enlarged city was on the 1st day of
last July 3,55O,OOO and if the rate of
growth which enabled the board to
get this estimate be continued the pop
ulation of the enlarged city will be on
the first of January, 1900, a little over
!, 100000 persons, perhaps as much as
8, $4,000.
When the population reaches these
figures if there is any growth in a city
the accretion is like that of a SNOWFALL.

STORY
the Switchman. AClOud-
ed Life.

Joll 2Os-- bWilClhlntI
brakemen and section hands on the
Big Four road always wondered why
George H. Claude, who had charge of
the switches at Third street, was
such a cold, distant fellow
Yesterday Claude was killed by a
passenger train, and then an official of
the road told of his history
During President Clevland's first
administration, among the many ap-
poiptments made by him was that of
Herman Claude Thompson, of Annap-
oils, Md. Thompson was young man
from one of the best families of Mary
land. He was just out of st. AIMS
College, and was fit for any kind of
business. Through family influence he
was given an important position under
the Government by President Cleve-
land. In short time he proved to be
an embezzler and skipped to Mexico,
where he was arrested and returned to
this country He was tried and con-
vlcted and sent to Sing Sing. He
served his time, and when released
came west.
One day bright young fellow ap-
piled for a position on the Big -Four
road. When asked what he wanted to
do he said anything, and he was given
a position as an assistant to gang of
carpenters, and went on the pay roll as
George w. Claude. He worked for a
short time when he fell from a laddSP
and broke his right wrist. He was at
tended by the company's physician,
and when he recovered again applied
for work. AT that time, however, the
railroad strike was on and he was ask
ed if he was not afraid to go to work.
He said no, as he had to make living.
He was assigned to attend the switches
under Third street bridge. One day
complaint was made that he had not
tagged a train in time. Claude was
sent for, and he asked until the next
day to file report.
The request was granted and the
head of the department duly received
written report 1t embodied math-
ematical calculation, showing by mea-
surement of the wheels, the rate of
speed and the distance that he had
Ragged the train in plenty of time.
And official of the road heard of the
report and sent for him and questioned
MIN, realizing that he was not an Or
binary man. Claude then, upon the
promise of secrecy, told him his story
George H. Claude was Herman Claude
Thompson. After the talk he went
back to work, and there never was a
more faithful employe.
Yesterday morning about $50
o'clock he was on duty when passen-
ger train 29 was pulling in for the de-
pot He threw the switch that he
thought would send the train into the
Grand Central Depot. Then he STEP
ped onto side track to wait for the
train to pass. But he had thrown the
wrong switch. The train came thup-
iering along and turned onto the side
track. Before Thompson could get out
Jf the way he was knocked down and
thrown under the wheels. Death was

Oil Notes.
YESTERDAYS MARKET.

A report from the big Rabbit we'll on
the Wiltekind farm at Moore's juno
ton Wednesday evening says that it is
still making IA barrels an hour. AT the
present price of oil this means some
thing over 100000 per month income
for the owners of the property.
The Reppart No. 4, being drilled by
Kingsley& Co. lis expected in some
time this week.
The we'll drilled on the Harness
farm at Sand Hill recently by B b.
Stone and others, was shot and will be
put to pumping today. 1t was stated
by man who is familiar with the
wells in that field that the well is good
for SO barrels.
SCIO FIELD.
The total number of producing wells
in the Scio field Is now 80, with a daily
production of 1896 barrels.
Meldren G. Co.'S No. / Sargent is the
largest well in the field and has in
creased its production to 115 barrels
day. The last we'll drilled in the east
ern extension of the field came in light
showing for only 10 to Is barrels per
day, and it is thought to indicate the
eastern boundary of the pool The
limits of the territory on the northeast
and southwest line have also been de-
fined and it begins 20 look discourag-
ing for any further development Two
wells east of Scio were completed
Wednesday and dry, while the No. 2
Scott, drilled by Lecomte, Brunner G
c., shows for good producer.
Those in position to know say that
the production will reach 5000 barrels
per day before it begins to decline.
notwithstanding the fact that the lin
its of the field have been pretty well
defined in several directions.
On the whole, one would infer that
the cream of the field had been devel-
oped and unless there is a promising
extension discovered soon the atten-
tion of investors will be turned toward
some other field either undeveloped or
in the infancy of development.
I'd. S. w." in the Oil City Derrick.
says of the Moores Junction field: The
Cow Run sand developments on the Ohio
side below Marietta, has not maintain
ed the prominent position it got when
Barndsall & Ranger drilled in their
gusher on the Wittekind farm. There
were four wells completed in that de-
yelopment during the month, and all
proved to be busters. Very little work
has been started in the past few weeks.
When Barnsdall & Ranger let go of
their holdings in that pool and pocket
ed 100000, they made a winning of no
small amount.
The Elk Run development in Wash
inSton county is now the most active
of any in the lower developments on
the Ohio side. There are 25 rigs I'D
wells drilling. OF ten wells completed
Dut two proved failures. The Carter
Oil company and Shay & Mullen are
the most active operators in this pool.

Chicago, April 6-Western general
passenger agents at their meeting here
today will decide whether the low coll
onist rates recently put in effect by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads TO all points on their lines
shall be met in rates via the Missouri
river. Unless the cooperation of the
Union Pacific can be secured a serious
passenger rate war throughout the
west and northwest will be the result.
The plan to sell closely limited rebate
tickets to Montana and north Pacific
coast points via the Missouri river on
the rebate plan at a rate of $25 has
been knocked out by the Union Pacific
for the alleged reason that the Burling
ton railroad was selling tickets fiat via
Its Billings route at a S25 rate. 1t wants
the Burlington to make rates via Bill
ings on the same basis and conditions
as are made via the Union Pacific If
this is the real reason for the Union
Pacihc'S refusal the Burlington has in
number of the roads agree the Burling
ton has no good reason for asking bet
ter conditions on business via Billings
than are made via the Missouri river,
but at the same time believe the Union
Pacific proposes to take an independent
position regardless of what the Bur
hngton or any other roads may do.
In the event of the Union Pacific hold
ing out, II is proposed by some of the
Missouri river lines to put into effect
a IS rate between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river, and then add whatever the
rates may be to points in the west and
northwest and Pacific coast points This
would necessitate a reduction in the
rate from Chicago to st. Paul to IS

New Jersey Trust Seeks to Be
LOCALIZED in Kansas.
ITS CHARTER HELD UP
Why Bob Heller Was Beaten
For Court Of Visitation.
Luck of EmpOria Citizens in
Getting State Jobs.
Presby terians Want Stanley to
Make a Speech For Them.

The state charter board is wrestling
with a problem which arises from the
provisions of the new corporation law
and is believed to operate against the
Lanyon Zinc company which seeks a
charter under the laws of Kansas
In filing the application for a charter
this company failed to furnish the pre-
scribed certificate showing in detail the
financial condition of the company and
final action was by the charter board
temporarily postponed.
Now a new question confronts the
board. The zinc interests of the coun-
try were recently organized into trust
along with the other products which are
being combined, and Incorporated I'M
der the laws of New Jersey There is
every reason to believe that the Lam
yous who have been instrumental in de-
veloping southeastern Kansas are MEM
bers of this gigantic pool and If such be
the case, the company can not be legally
admitted to the protection of Kansas
laws because they are antitrust meas
ures.
These questions nave complicated
matters greatly and there is some Ques-
ton about the issuance of charter to
the combine" zinc company.
The representatives of the company
claim that the refusal of a charter will
drive the company out of the state and
thereby throw thousands of men out or
employment. Those who oppose the
public recognition of this trust in the
face of the Kansas laws assert that II
predicted by the company than to give
1T a charter and create the opportunity
for the complete cornering and control
of the zinc and lead output.
