and Paragua. The island OF Mindaran
with an area OF some 20,000,000 acres,
Is almost entirely covered with tim
Der. and even In the province OF Caga-
yam, In Luzon, there are more than
2. ZOO. 900 acres OF forest.
In many ether provinces OF Luzon,
especially 10 the country close to Me-
Mia, much timbe has been cut. and
To fill large contracts the lumbermen
are obliged to go quite a distance In
order tn find suitable tract.
Captain Ahern mentions tracts or
virgin forests to be seen on the south
ern islands where from 10000 to 10000
cubic feet of magnificent timber per
acre was standing, trees mUre than 100
feet in height, the trunks clear to
branches for sixty feet and more than
tour feet in diameter. He states that
in these forests there are millions Of
cubic feet of lum Der which should be
cut out in order to thin this dense
growth, so that the maximum annual
growth could be obtained.
There are a large variety of valu-
able gum, rubber and gutta percha
trees, seventeen dyewoods and the
Wang ylang, the oil from blossoms OF
which latter tree is the base OF so
many perfumes.
There are no forest roads or river
drIveways in the islands considered
worthy of mentioning. At present
the trees are felled far from any road,
hauled out very slowly by one or more
caraboos, with the result that many
tracts are left untouched. The ma
tives are not skilled lumbermen, and,
while paid but small wage are by no
means cheap labor, when the cost OF
telling and hauling cubic foot OF
timber to the shipping place is con-
sidered.

All this talk about the Pop leg

All this talk about the Pop legis-
lators having anything to say about
who the new Senator from Kansas
shall be is mere moonshine. The
Republicans have great big maj
ority in both the senate and lower
house and when the time comes
they will call caucus of the Rep
ubllcan members and which ever
has majority of these members,
either Burton or Baker, will be ell
ected senator, and there will be no
dark horse in the race either. This
senseless abuse of either of these
men, by the partisans of the other,
is disgrace to the state and should
be frowned down by all sensible
Republicans.

The Wilson County Sun calls all

and compared them to rats leaving a
sinking ship. The leaving the sink

to US these men only showed their
good judgment in leaving the rotton

while the other fellows showed a
great lack of judgment in clinging
on in their blind prejudice when
they knew such course only led to

The theory of capital punishment

The theory of capital punishment
in Kansas is now being agitated in
Kansas. 1t seems to us a legal
hanging, now and then, would be
better than SO many illegal ones.
If it could be we'll understood that
certain execution would follow in
case of willful premidated murder,
a man would surely hesitate little
longer before committingit it, and the
people would be more inclined to
let the lsw take its course if they
knew the culprit would speedily
meet his just deserts at the hands of
the law.

A Profitable Strawberry Bed.

The strawberry is one Of the most
profitable crops ever introduced on
Kansas soil. The mention of a case
or two will make the truth of the state
ment more impressive. Last spring
a gentleman set in his garden, in Man
haitian, 1925 straberry plants, OF the
following varieties: Warfield, Parker
Earle, Robinson, Beder Wood and
Bisel. The plants grew in matted
rows and covered one-fourth of an &C
re. The plants grew well, the ground
cultivated frequently, and during the
winter a mulch OF clean straw wa
kept on the bed. The yield to this
date has been 2460 boxes, and will
reach 5000 boxes by the time the crop
has ended. The setting of the plants,
the cultivation and the picking have
mostly been done by he family, So
that the only outlay was for the plants
and berry crates and boxes. The first
400 boxes sold at twelve and one-hall
cents per box, the remainder at ten
cents. The following is the record:

the quarter acre, or very handsome
rate of 1896 per acre. No irrigation
was employed.
The other case is as follows: The
bed covers one-sixth of an acre. Two
thirds of the bed is two years old anc
is bearing its second crop; one third j.
one year old and is bearing the frs
crop. The plants have had good at

room last night to see about raising
sufficient money to insure a fitting
observance Of the Glorious Fourth in

tended by our representative business
men. and the celebration is now
practically assured.
Only $500 is now needed to bring
the amount subscribed up to the es'
innate submitted by the committee
and all present last night expressed
their intention to keep hustling till
the deficiency is pledged. The large
contributors have nearly all pledged
themselves, and now all that remains
to he done is for those more limited
in means but larger in numbers, to
add, their mite and Barre will have
one of the best Fourth of July cele'
brations in her history. We rest as
sured that they will not be backward
about coming for ward, and expect tt
see the necessary $500 pledged in a
few days.
Barre leads the cities OF the state
in many ways, and it will by nj
means diminish her fame and reputa
ton for "hustlc" If she shows ne
