A thought which impresses itself anew
on the mind of the beholder with each
meeting Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is that no other body SO truly repre-
sents the American people, so strikingly
illustrates the national idea-democracy.
In the ranks of the veterans on parade
yesterday were men from every walk of
life. Professional men, business men, men
Of wealth and high standing. official and
social marched side by side with ex-slaves,
with day laborers. with men of the hum
blest callings, and for the time all degrees
were swept away and they stood as they
did nearly forty years ago-Americans with
a common bond, that of love for country.
The differences in station and occupation
have not developed since. They existed
then, though the men were young. 1t was
common saying then that If the services
of a man skilled in any branch of me-
chanics or science or professional work
were needed that man could be found in
came when they enlisted. They served as
soldiers while the country needed them,
then scattered and took up the work of
civil life in such manner as best suited
them. For thirty-five years they have fol-
lowed individual pursuits as private citi-
zens of the Republic, and their personal
interests have varied widely, but back Of
all has existed that same common senti-
ment which brought them together before.
The emergency which would make their
services necessary again has not arisen,
but had 1T done so they would have met
the call as they did before. And when
they come together in their reunions they
are not judges, or doctors, or professors,
or preachers. or farmers, merchants;
they are comrades, men who went volun-
tarily from every quarter to their countrys
defense. The spectacle is a triumph of
democratic government. In no other coun-
try was ever such an army; in no other
country than this can such a representa-
tive body be found as the G. A. r. 1t was
one of the wonders of the world when it
went into the field; 1t is distinguished still.

PRESERVE FORESTS.
Goyernms nt will Attempt to Induce the
Adoption OF Conservative Meth
DDS OF laundering.

The attempt of the government to
induce the adoption OF conservative
methods of numbering in order to pre-
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many interest
ing legal questions, and the division OF
forestry has found it necessary to make
extensive researches in this direction.
As a result, a circular dealing with the
laws which affect forests is in course
Of preparation and will be sent free to
persons interested. One of the most
important points brought out is the
recognition by law of the prospective
value of growing timber. The posi-
bility of profitably carrying on lumber
ing with systematic provision for future
cutting depends upon this point. 1t
has usually been held that when, by
tresspass, or by INSCRIPTIONS cutting
by contractors, timber has been re-
moved contrary to the owners wish,
he could recover only its stumpage
value. As forestry usually requires
that certain number of trees of GER
tain size be left, it follows that an un-
scrupulous contractor could easily upset
the plans of years with little fear of
punishment. The supreme court, how
ever, has recently ruled that the differ
ence in value between logged and I'M
logged land depends not only on the
value of the timber removed, but on
its probable increase had it been left
untouched.

improvements in Alaska.


Captain w. r. Abercrombie, head of
the government exploration party,
which last season did much work in
the Copper river country and began
opening up military road from Port
Valdes to Fort Egbert on the Yukon,
arrived in Seattle, en- route north to
continue his work. 1t is the purpose
of the government, he says, to con-
struct 2,4OO miles of telegraph line in
Alaska, and complete the military
road. He returns this year with in
creased responsibilities. The road, he
says, will be completed during this
season from its present terminus, 80
miles inland, to Tanana, about two
thirds of the distance to the Yukon.
The telegraph line will be built from
Port Valdes along the road to Fort
Egbert and thence down the Yukon to
st. Michael.
Among other northern improvements,
he says, large government wharf at
Valdes has been decided upon.
An Eastern syndicate, headed by
Henry Willard, he says, is now having
surveys made along the general course
of the military road with view OF
building line.

Favorable Increase OF Trade - Com.

Bradstreet's says: Satisfactory ad-

Gated by detailed reports of increases

clearings and by reports of better de-
mands for money in commercial chan
nels. A year ago, it may be recalled,
extremely stormy weather was exper.
fenced, and some effects, notably those
on winter sown crops, were very unfa-
vorable. This year opposite conditions
have ruled and though some talk OF
lack of snow in grain-growing regions
is heard no widespread damage from
cold weather is yet noted. In fact,
unseasonably mild weather has been an
appreciable effect on several industries,
notably those engaged in the manufac-
ture of footwear, in discouraging sales
of the same actually causing the shut
down of some rubber manufactures,

Both Man and Beast Are Made Miser-
able by Natures Pests.
South Africa exports hides, wool and

derpest, cattle plague which in the
last ten years has been slowly creep
ing from central Africa southwark,
leaving a wake Of whitened bones. In
travelling through Natal 1 saw fifty
oxen lying dead about a spring, where
they had tumbled one over the other,
so suddenly had the disease attacked
them. 1t was almost impossible then
to get an untinged piece Of steak at a
restaurant though the proprietor re-
sented any such charge, and a pletho-
rc German traveller who called out in
loud tone for roast rinderpest' in
the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction,
Cape Colony, had to be picked up In
fragments. DR.. Koch and other emil
nent specialists tried In vain to stop
this plague. The country is now re-
covering from it slowly.
Another pest is the tsetse fly, an in
sect resembling our common house fly,
but three times as large. Its bite will
kill horse, COW or any other domestic
animal in about ten days, but, strange
to say, does not affect a wild animal
or a human being. A less dangerous,
but more troublesome, pest is the
white ant, which Is about one-Quarter
of an inch long and ubiquitous in many
parts Of the country. They live under
the ground and can only be routed by
killing the queen, which sometimes
reaches the size Of one inch in length.
