The Wadena Tribune we'll says in a
recent editorial on the question of
agitating local and public matters:
Every town has some bad features
which might easily be eradicated were
it not for the element which always
wants something covered up for the sake
of appearances. How much this cover
ing process costs the taxpayers very
few seem to realize. Agitation of public
matters in the proper way in the news
papers or otherwise, is the peoples
strongest safeguard. 1t is an indica-
ton of a wideawake community, in
which the people are keeping close
watch of their interests and are de-
termined that the public functions
shall not be administered by unscru-
pulous individuals whose aim is always
to cover up their misdeeds and court
public favor by misrepresentation.

The St. Paul Dispatch is no champ
ion of the Grout bill which seeks to tax
oleomargarine colored to initiate but
ter ten cents pound. The Dispatch
is in favor of the minority report on
the Grout bill which requires oleomar-
garine to be put up in pound prints
and each print to be impressed with
large letters showing that it is oleo-
margarine. In this there could be no
deception. The Dispatch says: 'sCan-
didly, if butter cannot stand COMPETE
ton with oleomargarine made and sold
under such conditions then there must
be something radically wrong with
butter" All of which is very true,
and the same rule might with equal
force apply to shoddy goods, Ell? Simply
mark the shoddy goods so the green
and unsuspecting buyer can tell what
he is getting. If it is right to protect
the dairy interestssit is right to pro-
tect the wooden interests Of the country.

IT is said that the southern railroads
are going to make strong efforts to in.
duce settlers to locate on the fertile
lands of the south, including southern
California, and Texas and western
Louisiana where there are millions of
acres still left for the husbandman.
At the rate northern lands are settling
up it will not be long before settlers
will be obliged to seek cheap land in
the south.

SENATOR DOLLIvER in addressing
the joint session of the Iowa legisla-
ture recently said in the course of his
remarks: 'There never has been a
time and there never will be time,
when an American industry, making
an unequalled and even a precarious
fight with foreign competitors, will
not find among our people the spirit of
encouragement and helpfulness ex-
pressed in the laws of the United
States. And yet nobody is any longer
blind to the fact that with many Of the
industries of the United States the
rates of duty which, in 1897 were re-
garded as reasonable, and were in fact
reasonable, have since that time, ow-
ing to the curious development of our
industrial and commercial life become
unnecessary, and in many cases even
absurd. They stand on our statute
books today no longer shield for
American labor, but they have. in
many cases, been turned as a weapon
of offense against the American mar
ket. I believe that I speak for the
average Judgment and good sense Of
the whole community of Iowa when I
say that these defects in our laws
ought to be corrected, and I express
confidence that the congress of the
United States will be able, in spirit
friendly to the principles upon which
the protective tariff rests, to correct
these defects in a businesslike way,
unless we are compelled to admit that
congress has become helpless in the
presence of questions like theses

located on the New York State Forest
Preserve, most of which is located in
the Adirondack mountains. Any one
interested in practical forestry should
send for bulletin No. 80, issued by the
bureau. This bulletin gives in most
elaborate manner the working plan for
township 40, in Hamilton county, N.
Y, which is in the New York State
Forest Preserve. - -. ~
The bureau is doing a great work in
looking after the public forests of the
government, and in the Black Hills
Forest Reserve much valuable work is
being done. This is practically a pure
forest of western yellow pine, and re-
markable for the abundance of Its
reproduction and its adaptation to
practical forestry. Upon its preserve
ton depends the timber to supply the
needs of the great mining industry in
that section, and to control the water
supply. Another, matter that the bu-
reau looks into is that of sheep grazing
in the forest areas, and is studying
those matters that concern the forest
and grazing interests. ST.
The tree planting section of the bu-
reau is doing great work, and it is

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's 'memo-
randum" on the Schley case has been
given to the printer and will be ready
for the public in a few days. Mr..
Roosevelt holds that while Schley
acted courageously in the engagement
up to the time the loop was executed,
he then lost his nerve and turned the
Brooklyn away from the enemy's ship,
instead of towards them. It is said to
be Roosevelt's opinion that the Brook
Ign should have turned in the direction
the enemy's vessels were taking, and
not away from them.

= PROF. THOs. SHAW objects to the
legislature repeating the dog tax law
passed at the last session of the legisla-

settle claims arising from the destruc-

seems to be that there are no dogs in
the several counties when the assessor
comes around.

Il
#izes the need aud essity Of planting
forests Of such timber as is needed for
commercial purposes. Forest raising
lis Of more concern at the present time.
than forest cutting. Out in the Bitter
Root valley in Montana, some walnut
timber of eighteen years growth was
taken to the mill not long since and
the timber measured eight aud one
half inches at the. butt. All through
the middle west may be seen some very
fine forests of trees that are grown to
supply railroad ties, telegraph and
telephone poles, posts, etc. It has been
estimated that a cross-tie for rail
road will be worth fifteen years hence
Is cents. The telegraph lines of the
country require 6OO,O 900 poles annually,
at a cost of not less than million dol
lars, and the telephone and electric
car lines use as many more. It is esti-
mated that the railroads.&c. the country
require 9O,00O,00O cross-ties for renew
ais each year, taking the timber from
an estimated area of 100000 acres.
Then there is the timber that the street
railway and suburban lines use annu-
ally. Conditions are such in the tim
Der supply of the country that call for
system of forest cultivation. The
diminution of natural timber in the
Mississippi valley has been gradual.
In the Wabash valley in Indiana, the
only tim Der left is ION the banks of the
Wabash Little timber is left in
western Iowa and Missouri. The val
legs Of eastern Kansas, which formerly
produced large quantities OF black wal
nut and burr oak have mostly been
cleared. Arkansas has good supply,
but the saw mills are at work night
and daysto cut the merchantable tim
Der. There is little red cedar in
Missouri and the eastern Indian terri
tory, but it will not last long. The
red cedar in the Platte valley, in Ne
braska, has all been cut, and the same
story can be told of most all the coun-
try in the middle west. But with an
intelligent system of forest cultivation
in those sections where the timber has
all disappeared, there need be little
fear of future generations having to go
without wood and timber.
Since the above was put in type we
notice that the Illinois Central rail
road is making. preparations to plant
catalpa trees along it's line of road
from Chicago to New Orleans. These
trees will not only be planted along
the line of the road but also at stations
along the road. Over 100000 of these
trees will be planted and they will be
grown for timber for cross ties Dur
ing the last few years the company has.
experienced great difficulty in secur-
ing sufficient desirable timber for ties
and now intends to raise its own tim
Der. Along with this tree planting
the company will also have in mind
the beautifying of the station grounds
along the road. # -. o..
