w. E. Underhill, Chief Consul of tho

Of American Wheelmen and a promin-
ent factor in the affairs of the National
body, said the other day that the bill
introduced in Congress recently pro-
viding for au appropriation of So, 900, =

ward preparing tho highways of tho

"The plan of the League of Ameri.

preparation" continued Mr.. Under
hill, sis to secure the construction OF
three or four great military roads con-
Meeting large Eastern cities like Bos.
ton, New York and Philadelphia, and
extending from New York TO Chicago
by way Of Albany.
"The significance OF the project ia
only realized when it is taken in con-

The business of forestry is one ol
steadily increasing interest to every
civilized country. The many uses to
which wood is put alone makes this
plain. New forests sustain close re.
lntion to rainfall and atmospheric con.
ditions. Forestry is one thing; the
growing of trees for shade or orna.
ment, the growing OF trees in cities
or city parks, is something altogether
different. Protection chiefly against
winds, floods and drouth, and the con-
tinuous production OF wood, are prime
objects Of forestry. To review in de-
tail what forestry means to the United
States would be to discuss the value
to the nation of practically all its in.
dustries, for practically all of them
ase wood in ways we could very i'll
afford to spare. Forestry means the
preservation of all these, just as con.
tinued forest destruction means their
injury or their complete decay"

EnIIstInr the CnIIores.

One feature of tho road improve
ment work in Michigan, as referred to
by Chief Consul Earle, of the i. A.
W., is as follows: have tried to get
the colleges and preparatory schools
to do something toward teaching the
needs of good roads, the cost of bad
roads, how to build good roads, and
how to maintain them after they are
built; 80 far have met with no perceiy-
able effect, except at the Michigan
Agricultural College at Lansing; and
it gives me great pleasure TO be able
to report that Professor 1. r. Taft has
taken up the matter in such g way as
to merit our highest esteem; he is
building several samples Of good roads
on the agricultural grounds, and L
predict that when he gets these fairly
planted you will soon see samples
built in other parts Of the State.
