Minnesota Forest Preservation.

The hopes of Minnesota champions
of forest preservation have been some
what dashed by recent developments
in connection with the Chippewa In
dian reservation. 1t was proposed at
first to save the whole tract of ancient
pine lands for scientific care as ma
tional forest. The wishes Of lumber
men; some pressure from other quar-
ters to open the lands for settlement,
and the willingness of Minnesota rep
resentatives to please both classes,
have led to a considerable modification
of the original plan. The segregation
Of forest lands is to be limited, accord
ing to present proposals, to 22S,oOo
acres, and these are not to be turned
over to the department of agriculture
until the pine timber, or all but five
per cent. of it, has been removed.-N.

ITALY IS GROWING FAST.
Recent Estimates show That Hes
Population II Increasing with
Rapid Strides.

Italy is almost the only Latin coun-
try in Europe which shows a steady
growth of population. France has
for years been ON the decline, but
latest states show 1t Is nearly sta
tionary, the death and birth rates
being nearly equal. The returns OF
the recent census in Italy are now
published and they show q crafty
ing though not extraordinary
growth of population in the PENN
sula, despite the large emigration
and the hard times which have pre-
vailed there in late years. In round
numbers the population OF Italy is
now 32,500,000. That is an increase
of more than 100000 in the last 20
years. That is not large increase,
but it is, on the whole, satisfactory.
1t is not, of course, the whole in
crease of the Italian race. In these
20 years more than 100000 Italians
have emigrated to other lands. The
actual growth of the race has, there
fore, been more than 100000 in 20
years, or more than one per cent. a
year.
This does not, however, confirm the
common idea that the Italians are
an exceptionally prolific race. The
growth of other nations has been
proportionately more rapid. That
Of France has not been. That OF
Russia has been effected by conquest
and wholesale annexation. That OF
tho United States has been due TO
enormous immigration, as well as to
q high birth rate. But while Italy
in the nineteenth century increased
from 100000 to 32,5o0,O00, or only
q little more than doubled, Great
Britain grew from 100000 to A.
100000 and Germany from 24,0oo,oOo
to 100000 and each Of these coun-
tries suffered as great a loss from
wars as Italy and a considerably
greater loss through emigration.
Telephones Hurt Roads.
It is an odd fact, but true, that some
steam railroads have complained OF
the harm done to their best class OF
passenger traffic by the long-distance
telephone, while hotels in western
cities have also attributed reduction
of patronage to the same cause.
Travel between this city and St. Louis,
for example, is said to have been APP
preciably cut down by the telephone.
Such result would seem difficult to
trace tangibly, although one meets
people daily who, to avoid weary trips,
have governed themselves on the in
junction: Don't travel; telephone"
But the telegraph and the mail have
also been deterrents, and II there is
any validity to the alleged reason the
high-speed electric travel Of the fu-
ture may restore the former condi-
tions.-Chicago Chronicle.

Sheep Murders Active.

1t is learned that in addition TO
killing Mexican sheep herder named
Sam Callahan near Landers, Wyo.,
and slaughterlng several thousand
sheep, a band of $50 masked men
has surrounded all the sheep camps
and forced the sheep men to abandon
their focks.
After killing one herd of 1000
sheep, twenty-five other herds,
amounting to about $4,000 sheep,
were driven into the mountains and
left to shit tor themselves.
The sheep men have been threat
ened with instant death if they &c
after their flocks. The sheep are now
the prey OF wild animals and the loss
will be very heavy.
The scene of the lawlessness is IL.
miles west of Landers, in Fremon
county. The militia may be calle'
out to protect the sheep men.

Checks as Autographs.
Why Mr.. Kiplinas Bank Account Showed
Big Balance.

An experiment once tired by Kip
ling for the purpose of checking house
hold expenses had somewhat differ
ent result than was anticipated He
opened small account at local
bank in order to pay every bill with a
cheque. Many of the cheques were
for very small amounts, and the shrewd
shopkeepers soon discovered that they
could get more for the cheques from
autograph collectors than from the
bank. The consequence was that at
the end Of the month Mr.. Kipling's bank
account showed bigger balance than
the counterfoils of his cheque book.
This puzzled him very much, until he
happened one day to call at an Office
where the head was an enthusiastic
autograph collector, and found one of
his cheques framed and hanging on
the wall.

Treat Your Horse Humanely.

During the hot weather horsemen
should pay particular attention to their
horses. These animals are often reined
up so tightly by the short bearing or
check rein that their flexor muscles
have no play at all. 1t is sheer torture
to keep them so, hour after hour,
merely to give stylish appearance.
To drive without any check line is un-
practicable, a number have tried it,
but have abandoned it. The horse
gets his head IN the dust and dirt, and
soon presents sorry appearance.
However a plea is entered for loose
check rain. Horses are so faithful
that gratitude as well as selfinterest
should be on the side Of kindness.
Now that the heat is iutense attention
should be given to the watering Of
horses.

GAME COMMISSION NEEDS MONEY.
Number Of important Prosecutions on Hand
With Nothing To Secure Counsel.

The Board of Game Commission.
ers needs money badly and its mem.
bers are making efforts to secure
funds through donations from sports,
men throughout the commonwealth.
]. Q. H. Denny, of Ligonier, has
been placed in charge of the work of
raising the money required and is
sending appeals to the various asso-
Citations of sportsmen which have
manifested an interest in the work of
the board.
The appropriation from the state is
but $500 per year, and this barely
pays the salary of the clerk and post
age. The expenses for prosecutions
for violation of the game laws must
be betrayed from the fines collected
and contributions from those who
want game protected.
AT present the board has number
of important cases on hand and its
finances are depleted, at least $1,000
being needed. The defendants in
the cases have retained excellent at
torneys and equally good legal talent
is needed by the board.

Wheeler CLAIMS Land Worth $60,000,000

Alleging to be the owner Of 10,
800 acres of valuable coal land, To-
Gated principally in Northumber-
land county which is now being
operated by the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company,
venerable O. H. Wheeler, OF
Wilkes Barre, was at Sunbury on
Tuesday to hunt abstracts from
the original warrants, which he
claims are on the record at the
court house.
He says he has instituted suit
for the recovery of the land in the
United States court in Pittsburg
The land is situated in and around
Doutyville, and the Coal and Iron
Company colleries at Locust Gap
tap the coal bed.
He alleges that the late Franklin
3. Gowen took possession of the
land for the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company and operated
on it for coal, and declares that
this company has maintained the
ownership of it. Wheeler says
that he is the sole owner of the
land, which he claims to be worth

The Weekly Paper is the Best Advertising
Medium

A contemporary has been vigor-
ously sounding the advantages of
the daily paper as IAN advertising
medium, but it fails to give any
reasons. All who want to believe
this argument can do so, of course,
but the merchant who fails to ad-
vertise in the weekly papers is cut
ing himself off from family patron
age. The daily papers are hastily
SKINNED, then thrown aside. The
weekly paper is read, re-read, and
kept for reference. Women are the
most profitable patrons of the stores
and few women glance at more than
the marriage and death notices in a
daily paper. Besides the advertis-
ing rates Of the weeklies are so
much cheaper that the merchants
can explain more fully what they
have to offer. These observations
are addressed to merchants, but
they are equally applicable to all
advertisers. We do nol say this be-
cause the COLUMBIAN is weekly,
but because the reasons advanced
will commend themselves to every
one who gives the matter any
thought. Not to advertise in the
weekly papers is to cut yourself off
from family patronage-that is the
plain truth in happy epigram.
