NUMBER 81
Reesat Work Of the Divisisn Of Forsstry.

The result Of the work Of the Divisi-
oh has been /" turn practical forestry
in the United States from doubtful
experiment into an assured success
Special studies OF some OF the most i'm
portant trees, commercially, have been
made, from which can be calculated
their probable future yield. Cheap
methods Of harvesting the present
lumber crop without injuring the pro-
ductivity Of the forest have been put in
operation. Such concerns as The Great
Northern Paper Company and The
Deering Harvester Company have been
led TO undertake conservative manage
ment Of their forest properties. Mean
while, the work of tree-planting, par
ticularly in the almost treeless Western
States OF the plains, has been furthered;
the relation of the forest to the volume
OF streams, erosion, evaporation, and
irrigation have been studied; matters
connected with irrigation and water
supply have been investigated; hopeful
progress has been made in the direction
OF regulating grazing in the Western
reserves in manner fair both to the
important interests Of cattle and sheep
owners and to those who look to the
reserves as source Of continuous sup
ply of wood and water; and studies of
forest fires were conducted with view
Of reducing the great yearly loss from
this source, a loss which has been es-
timated at $50, O,OOO,O
Field work Is to 90 on this summer
In II States. There are in all l79 per-
Sons engaged in the work Of the Bureau.
OF this number 81 are student assistants
young men, largely college students,
who expect to enter forestry a. . pro-
fession, and who serve during the sum-
mer on small pay for the sake Of the
experience gained.

Ifyou were operating an engine and
had only 40 pounds Of steam up when
you reeded 30 what would you do :?
You would throw on more fuel and get
up 20 pounds most likely. That is q
principle which applies to advertising.
If 40 lines will not do the trick, double
up your space.

An Important Visitor.

TIC. Henry, the famous irrigation
man, arrived in Dolores, yesterday, and
at once started on trip through the
Montezuma valley, in company with
w. II. Blake. Mr.. Henry has engin-
eered many successful irrigation and
colony schemes and is looking over
this section in the interests Of com.
munity control of irrigation systems.
He is father of new law passed by
the last legislature by which irrigation
districts may be formed, bonds voted
by majority of the taxpayers, the
money thus obtained used to build res
ervois or canals, and the community
owns and controls its own irrigation
system. A district of similar character
has been formed in western Nebraska
through the management ofMr. Henry
and is working very successfully. He
expressed himself us well pleased with
this part of the state and his visit will
no doubt result in much good to this
section.

From the howl that is going up, it
seems that some people think the state
treasurer should advertise the fact
whenever q warrant il presented for
payment, in every newspaper in the
state. The cry that Treasurer Chipley
secretly paid the "Robber SEVENTH
warrants is all bosh. Almost nine out
ten are paid without the people being
informed Of the fact. Nearly every
one would prefer that those obnoxious
warrants did not exist, but since they
did it is much better to have them paid
and out Of the way. The chief kickers
are those who had hand in making
the warrants, and the cry Of "stop
thief" is uttered because some one else
is getting what they had planned for
themselves. That some one is guilty of
stealing is very evident, but the steal
was planned, engineered and executed
by Republicans who are now so loud in
their protests.

Those who oppose labor Unions should
thiEk twice before giving utterance TO
their opinions. Capital is organizing
in every conceivable shape and for
every imaginable purpose. What Ii
good for capitalists should be good for
laborers. These gigantic combinations
of capital are all erloigned against labo,
because their first aim is economy and
as labor is always the greatest item O.
expense, they begin by discharging all
the men possible and conduct the busi.
ness with one Office whei'e formerly II
required a dozen or more. To prevent
the disasterous results that are bound
to come from such an evil, laborine
classes must organize and prepare to
fight the devil with his own weapons.
The time will come when labors' exist.
ence defends upor Its organization and
unity of purpose. The da1naging ef
fects of the trusts, ETC., win increase
until they will try to force inen to worn
for 4 bare existence-a thing they have
already begun, and which is forcing
children to 80 to work as SOON az they
able to earn their board. Unless thess
conditions change a revolution viii

IRRIGATION ITEMS.
An Irrigated Island.

On the small island of Madeira, west
coast of Africa, irrigation is practiced
more extensively, in proportion to the
area of the island, which is only 40
square miles, than In any country in
the world; fully one-hnlfof the island be-
ing under water systems. Madeira is
in reality an irrigated patch in the
ocean, growing splendid crops. Canals
have been constructed with care and
skill, some of them sixty or more miles
in length. The thrifty farmers have
on their land reservoirs, into which
they collect their share Of the water
when it is delivered to them, and from
them distribute it to their crops as de-
sired.
