ANDREWS TALKS ON FOREST
FROM A TRIP TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE
Says That He Saw Standing White
Pine Land Sold for 800 an Acre
Very Few Trees Exceeded n Foot
in Diameter.

Gen. c. c. Andrews, state fire warden,
has just returned from a trip to his old
home in New Hampshire. Speaking OF
his visit he said to the G o b 9 yester-
day:
''At Greenfield, New Hampshire, I saw
twenty-acre tract of standing white
pine that had just been sold for $l,SO0,
or $50 an acre 1t was not agricultural
land but rocky hillside Very few OF
the pines exceeded a foot ard a half
in diameter They lad al come up
from natural seeding and their average
age probably did not exceed fifty years
The trees were being cut and sawed by
a portable steam mill into boards, which
were to be shipped by railroad to the
city of Lowell, forty miles distant. The
amount of timber in the tract was sold
at an estimate of 100000 feet, so that tina
price per 1000 feet was only So, which.
considering that the railroad station II
only two miles distant by good road
seems very cheap. The ends OF some
of the logs which were being sawed wera
only four inches in diameter The land
itself when cleared, would bring scarce y
an acre in fifty years from piece or
non-agricultural land by raising white
pine, which is more than most farmers
get from agricultural land fter Quoting
the cost of labor and other expenses
doubt if white pine will grow as rapidly
in Northern Minnesota as it does in
Southern New Hampshire, still it is clear
that our non-agricultural land would
yield a fair net profit If planted with
pine.
IN my native town, Hillsbor3, there Is
25 per cent more land in forest than there
was fifty years ago. Many of the rocky
pastures are covered with thick growth
of young forest, and in a number OF
places with pure stand of white pine.
The young blush green white pine is
springing up by the roadside, as well as
on old pasture. 1t seems to have taken
fresh courage from the new impulse that
has been given to forestry"

SENATOR CARTER TALKS.
Says the Situation In France Is
Rather Critical.


Senator Thomas H Carter, of Montana,
was at the Ryan yesterday on his way
home, after having spent several months
in Europe. OF European matters he said:
1.-The situation in France is critical, in
my opinion. The general impression pre-
walls there that Dreyfus is innocent, and
more people believe that he will be ac-
quilted than think he will be convicted.
The methods which have been and are
being pursued in the trial have aroused
such a strong sentiment in favor of the
prisoner that it is thought the court will
hardly dare find him guilty. In case he is
convicted, affairs in France will be partic-
ularly serious. In Germany the feeling
toward this country is very friendly.
There is some feeling on the part of the
emperor against US on account of the way
we have encroached on German trade, but
this feeling is purely commercial one.
Englishmen think that Dom Paul needs
a thrashing, and that he is about to get
it. There is little doubt in England that
there will be a fight, and of course that
England will win.
"It is our duty, and at the same time
to our material interest, to hold the Phil
ippines. Why should we pay commissions
in Liverpool to have our goods distributed
in the Orient, when we can cut across lots
through an open ocean only 5000 miles,
handle our goods and make our legitimate
profit? We are an exporting nation, and
the trade in the Far East is Of immense
value to us. England has to ship 11,0CC
miles over a circuitous route. Within g.
600 miles Of Manila is more than one-half
the population of the world. Why should
we withdraw from such q commercial
field when we are there by right?
'Bryan will probably be the next Demo-
cratic candidate. He is the recognized
leader Of the Democracy, and, judged by
his utterances, opposition to the admins
tration's aggressive foreign policy will be
the leading issue in 1900 Trusts and free
silver will share prominence with anti

Are Not Benefited.

Charles N. Bell filed with the board
OF public works yesterday protest
against the confirmation Of the assess
ment for the enlargement of Iris park,
at University and Lynnhurst avenues.
Mr.. Bell is the owner of lots 20 and Fl,
Merriam's outlets, on the north side OF
University avenue, directly opposite the
park. His objections to the proposed
assessment are:
That the board has no jurisdiction.
That the lots are not benefited by the
Improvement to- the amount of $40 each.
or any amount. That the assessment is
unjust, unfair and partial. That there
is no call for the improvement and that
it is simply for the benefit of property
adjacent to the park, the few owners
of which desire their neighbors and the
property in the locality to stand the ex-
pense of the enlargement of the park for
their benefit That the assessment now
being made is on the basis of the 'front.'
age of the property assessed and not on
proportionate benefits or advantages In
curing by reason of the pretended i'm
provement.
The board took under consideration
three sewer improvements. L hO OAiO VA
Blair street, between Como and Western,
according to the estimate Of the city ems
gineer, will cost $2,5S7, or s1.1O per front
foot, to the property owners. The one
on Lafond street, from Atwater to Mill
ton, will cost 5000, or SIS cents per front
foot, to the property owners, and the
one on Indiana avenue, from South wa
basha to Edward streets, will cost $40,
or 80 cents per front foot, to the own
ers.
The hearing on the completion of the
assessment for the paving of Cedar
street, from Summit to Como avenues,
was adjourned to Thursday. By that
day it is expected the resolution pass d
by the council ordering the board to pay
for the paving of the intersection OF c.
dar street and Central avenue out OF the
general fund will have been signed by
the MAYOR and $3,67S of the ass ssment
deducted from the amount the owners
will have to pay.

CITY ENGINEER REPORTS.
Would Not Be Advisable to Repair
Western Avenue Bridge.

A resolution passed by the council dur
ing the past week requests the city en-
gineer to report. as to the advisability OIL
repairing the old Western avenue bridge
with a view of opening it for public
travel. City Engineer Claussen stated
Yesterday that while the resolution had
not reached him, in his opinion it would
not be advisable to repair the structure.
1t had been repaired SO often that 1t
would simply be waste of money. AS
to the necessity of a new bridge at that
point he was not prepared to say. The
cost of new bridge would be about
$4,000, and III the present condition OF
the bridge repair fund and the demands
that would be made on it during the next
wear it was not likely that a new bridge
would be put in to take the place of the
old wooden one.
