FORESTS.

The American Forestry Association
met in Denver in the last days of Au-
gust. The arguments used in the pa
pers are very similar to the arguments
used here when bringing this subject so
often before the people. On the main
land they are dealing with vast areas,
on these Islands we are dealing with
minute areas, but we can see the re-
suits of destruction and carelessness
more quickly and more readily here,
than anyone can see them on the main
land. "A life time suffices to show us
the evils of decreasing. 1t takes sew
eral generations to see the results on
large scale on the mainland With us
the argument can be based on premises
which come within any mans expert
ence. With the people on the main
land the argument must be based on
historical knowledge and analogical
comparisons with other large areas.
In paper upon Irrigation and the
Forests" read by George II. Maxwell
of Chicago he pictured the results of
deforestation in the old world, saying
of deforestation; floods devastate Chi
ma for the same reason. Look at North
ern Africa, at Persia, at Mesopotamia,
at Trahscaspia; and heed their warn
ing. Once fertile, now arid, uninhabit-
able wastes, they stand as a warning
that we should heed. Will we do so, or
will we go on wasting millions while
Ntrrit
destroyed?''
There is now no doubt that India,
which suffers so severely with drought,
was once covered with a dense forest
growth. and the hand of man, during
countless ages has absolutely destroyed
every Vestage of that mighty forest,
leaving the land naked to be baked by
the sun and alternately devastated by
Hoods of rushing water which tears
and rends. but does not stay to give
life sustaining nurture to the exuber-
ent soil. What should smile with emer-
aid crops, has smiled with them in
ages past, is now a treeless, cropless,
barren waste of dutsy earth. One needs
to read as graphic an account of fam
inc and dust burdened desolation, such
as appears in Kipling's William, the
COnquerer," to thoroughly understand
the Indian situation.
1t is with such argument and such
analogy that the American Forestry
Association must work. With us on
the Islands, more speedy lessons can
be shown, We have only to consider
the condition of ST. Helena as it was
couple of centuries ago and as it is to-
day. The criminal carelessness of the
Governors and the residents, denuded
the Island of it's forests. The AK and
the goat destroyed the trees and the
underbrush When the rains of heaven,
which should have been beneficent fell
upon the naked land, instead of doing
good, their ACCUMULATED waters swept
in torrents from the mountain heights
and bore the mould over the cliffs into
the sea. The Island is in many parts
stripped to the bare ribs of the prime
val rock, which now lies blistering in
the semi tropic sun. The very climate
of the Island has changed.

COMMERCIAL COMBINATIONS.

That industrial and commercial COM
binations are not confined to any par
ticular country. though their develop
ment has been earlier and more COM
plete in the United States than any,
where else is pointed out by CONNER
cial paper This is shown by a report
on industrial combinations in Europe
by Prof. j. w. jerks, which has just
been made public by the Industrial
Commission. 1t appears from the in
vestigations made that everywhere in
Europe, notably in Germany and Aus
tria, there is strong tendency toward
the formation of those combinations.
In the two countries mentioned the ex-
tent and power of the combinations
are almost as great as in the United
States, though their plan of organiza-
ton is materially different. In Eng
land there has been a very active move
ment toward the concentration of in
ldustry, and in France also the move
ment is very evident.
Judged from the general conclusions
arrived at in the report it seems that
in Europe the disposition is to regard
combinations as phenomena incidental
to the present stage of economic devel-
Iopment. There is. Professor jerks saws,
relatively little objection to combina-
tons in the old world, and in some
countries the Governments and the peo-
pie seem to believe that they are need
In1
tons, though they may require super
vision and control. There seems to be
little or no belief that protective tariffs
are responsible for their existence,
though they have at times used the
tariff to keep their prices higher than
would otherwise be possible, and their
export prices are often lower than do
nestle quotations.
| Railway determinations seem to have
had no effect in creating combinations,
for they have been practically abolish
ed in Europe. There appears to be no
inclination toward the passage of laws
aiming to destroy the combination-a
policy regarded as unwise and impossi-
ble-but laws aiming at regulation,
and that mainly through publicity,
seem to be favored. To all appearance
there is good deal of poise and sanity
in the prevalent view of industrial COM
binations in the old world.
In view of the heated attacks made
upon commercial combinations on this
side of the Atlantic there is a good
deal of common sense in the European
view. 1t is like every good thing which
We have in this world commercial COM
bination may be used for good, or it
may be misused. We have long ago
conceded that united action is better
than individual action. If united ac-
ton is of value between two or three
firms, why should not united action
of many firms be still better. 1t would
be and is, but unfortunately when
there is no opponent, no competition, it
is the nature of human character to
become autocratic and to deteriorate.
1t is this which is the canker worm
of monopoly, and of combination. We
can make nothing perfect in this world.

MR.. HALL DIDN'T LIKE IT.
Albert Schenk's work D~ispleased an
Ohio County lobbyist.

Albert SChenk 81 DIX D"lspie2Seu an
Ohio County lobbyist.
Albert Schenk returned Saturday
night from Charleston. where he did
some very effective lobbying in the
interest of the passage of the electric
light bill through the House of Dele
gates. A we'll authenticated story is
told in connection with his work for
this measure.
1t is said that Mr.. Schenk's activity
excited the ire of James X. Hall. who
has been working hard against the
passage of the bill, and before Mr..
Schenk left Charleston he met Hall,
who made some remarks the reverse
of complimentary. 1t is said that Mr..
Hall went so far as to threaten Mr..
Schenk.
Mr.. Schenk expects the bill to pass
the Senate, but says it will meet with
stubborn opposition because Of the
strong lobby against its passage. The
committee appointed at the Board of
Trade meeting Saturday night, will
leave for Charleston on the 9:45
o'clock train this morning.

At the Builders Exchange in the
Hub block this morning, bids for the
reconstruction Of the old Baltimore &
Ohio passenger station will be receiv-
ed by a representative Of the com
pany. The fact that the railroad con-
templated this action has been known
for some time. The company has had
plans drawn up for the proposed i'm
provement, but they may not be adopt
ed in their present form.
1t is the aim to make the necessary
repairs in order to barely answer the
purpose, and in fact it has been stated
by an official that the remodeling of
the old structure will only be made TO
furnish temporary quarters. This is
generally di5credited, it being the gen.
eral opinion that should the company
station be re-established at South
street, it will be at least ten years
before the building of the long prom
ised station will be undertaken.
The plans which will be submitted
to the bidders this morning call for
an entire Encouragement of the old
building. In fact, the improvements
will afford as modern a depot as can be
made without a virtually new building.
The interior will be entirely changed
about to afford a more convenient ar
rangement. The building will be fur
nished with up-to-date sanitary ar
engagements, including laYatories and
closets and every possible convenience
for passengers. One of the best fea-
lures of the affair is the fact that only
local firms will be allowed to bid On
the work, in this way making it GER
tain that the contract will be given to
a local establishment.
In the same connection might be not
ed the report that the B. & o. really
did intend building on some other site

Captain Carl Reichmann, Of the
Seventeenth U. S. Infantry, arrived in
this city yesterday and has taken 10
temporary quarters in the Mcclure.
The purpose of the Captains. visit 10
this city is to secure recruits for the
regular army and he will open a re-
cruiting station in a few days. In
another column Capt. Reichmann adj
v~ertises for rooms for the recruiting
station. The recruits, after their en-
listment here, will be sent to Column
bus, where they will be fitted out.
drilled, instructed and assigned TO
regiments.
The necessity for securing new re-
cruits is the passage of the army dill,
which will be signed by the President
this week. This bill calls for a
standing army of 100, 900 men. The
time of enlistment of about So. 900 vol
unteers now in the Philippines ex-
pires by June the thirtieth and these
men are being brought home as quick
as possible. This makes it necessary
to ecure men at once to take their
places. There are now about 5000
men under order to go to the Philip
pines, 2,000 OF them being already in
San Francisco. To make up the re-
quired number, recruiting officers are
being established all over the coun-
try.
Capt. Reichmann has been assigned
to all the territory within 200 miles Of
Wheeling in West Virginia and to
several counties in Ohio. He expects
to secure a great many recruits here
on account of the great interest that
has been taken in things of a military
nature since the Spanish-American
war.
1t will require about 1900 non-com-
mission officers to officer the new re-
cruits. Any man who has served two
years in the United States army and
who can pass the examinations, will
be appointed to a non-conn.ssioned
office.
Capt. Reichmann has had much ex-
perience in military matters and has
seen service in many countries under
the United States. Last evening he
spoke entertainingly to a Register re-
preventative of army life and the var
ious countries he has visited. Military
life, he said, is not the hard, callous
life that many suppose it to be, but
on the contrary is very interesting
The United States soldier is granted
more liberties and is better treated
than any other nations soldier. He
is supplied with clothing, plenty OF
clean, well cooked food, and when he
is sick, is supplied with medical at
tention.
Capt. Reichman has seen service in
the Philippines and from there went Il
South Africa where he was an attache
CT the Boer army. He returned r.
this country through Europe.
In speaking of the Philippines Capt
Reichmann said that it was a beauti-
full country, with plenty Of fruits o.
all kinds. The only drawback is
the climate, the air being moist anc
oppressive, but is not as bad as is
generally supposed. The Ftlipinos
are an interesting people. They viii
do no more work than is absolutely
necessarily, but are great smokers anC
politicians. All the heavy work i:

men are not such Cinnamon as We set
in America, but are great, tall. muscu-
lar men. He stated that as Dol as
he finished his work in this city that
he would return to the Philippines.
