SAVE THE FORESTS
GEN. ANDREWS THINKS THE LEG
STATURE SHOULD GIVE
ASSISTANCE
CONDITIONS ARE CRITICAL
Annual Consumption Is Double the
Annual GrOVvth-ArbOr Day Has
Had "a Great COunteract-
ing Influence.

State Fire Warden andrews is very
much in hopes that by the time another
regular session of the legislature rolls
around a public sentiment can be work.
ed up strong enough to secure from the
legislature an appropriation which will
enable the state to purchase large tracts
OF non-agricultural land for forestry pur-
poses. For the past two years Gen. An
dreWs has been going around the state
ag1tat1ng the necessity for a vigorous
movement in the direction of saving the
forestry of the state before it was wholly
destroyed by commercial greed. Hereto
fore the legislature has given little at
tent1on to the subject but he hopes to
secure favorable legislation at the next
session. Forestry conditions are becom-
ing critical" says Gen. Andrews land
what is done should be done rapidly. The
people are slow to realize the immense
value of our forests, and the menace to
our country by their ruthless destruction.
1t is an absolute necessity that our pres
ent forests be protected and that
methods be devised for partly repairing
the terrible ravages which have been
made upon our forests"
The forest crop of the United States is
fifteen times greater than the combined
gold and silver product, and its value
for one year exceeds the value of the
combined cereal crop (wheat, oats, corn
barley, rye and buckwheat) by SO, 900 OdO
The inroads made upon the forests are
threatening to entirely destroy this great
national product At the present time
the annual consumption is twice as large
as the annual growth, and the authorf-
ties say that over half of the timber cut
down is wasted.
Arbor day was started to partly coun-
teract this destruction by creating a pub
lie sentiment in favor Of forestry. Mime
sofa has already done excellent work in
tree planting. Gen. Andrews says the
value of the Arbor day influence cannot
be overestimated. In the past ten years
the school children Of the state have
planted over 100000 trees. Last year
more than 10000 were planted. While
these figures seem large there is an
other side to the question. There are in
this state over 1920 school houses hav-
ing no trees around or near them.
Next month Gov. Van SAINT will ap-
point an Arbor day, and State Superin-
tendent Olsen will take especial pains to
have the day more generally observed
than it has been heretofore. With every
state in the country observing Arbor
day, as most of them now do and with
the, school children planting LOCO, 900 trees
every year, the influence for forest pre-
servation is sure to grow. Gen. Andrews
feels that this influence could be greatly
increased by little assistance from the
legislature.

KEEP BALL ROLLING
INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE RE-
PORTS TO COMMERCIAL CLUB On
AUDITORIUM PROJECT
TO WIDEN OUT IMMEDIATELY
other Commercial Bodies Are In
vited to CO-Operate-NO Let-UD
Until Success Is
Attained. ~

The investigation committee Of the
Commercial Club yesterday presented its
report of the trip to Kansas City aud
Omaha in search of auditorium details
to the Commercial Club auditorium COM
mittee. 1t was received and accepted.
After listening to the report the COM
mittee decided to widen out at once by
asking the members Of the executive
committees of the Chamber of Commerce.
the Jobbers' union, the Manufacturers
association, to become members of the
Commercial Club committee as individu-
ais.
The committee will hold another meet
ing Tuesday afternoon, when it is ex-
pected that permanent organization will
be perfected. 1t is the intention of the
committee to allow only such to become
members as win pledge themselves to
stay by the auditorium project until it
is entirely completed. Nothing short of
death will be accepted as a resignation,
and those who cannot give a guarantee
of this character will be politely but
firmly told to direct their energies in
sCme other channel of civic usefulness.
The size; character ard other details
of the proposed auditorium will be taken
up at the next meeting, and the prelim-
mary steps decided upon. An estimate
of the cost will be presented, so that the
members can start out with some idea
as to what amount they will have to
raise to make the project a success.
The work will be split up and sub-com-
mittees will be appointed to take charge
of the various phases.
1t is likely that at this meeting there
will be a call issued for a mass meeting
of citizens who are interested in the
project, and the first subscription list
viii be passed around at this time. While
there has been no definite action taken
as to the means of raising the funds it
is the general opinion of the members
of the committee that the issuance of
shares of stock in the auditorium at 81
a share is good plan, as it gives every
ore an opportunity to contribute in a
business like way.
The plan of giving entertainments
balls and other affairs Of this character
Is also we'll thought of, and once the ball
is started on its roll it is expected that
auditorium events of all kinds will fol-
low each other in rapid succession.

DIR. OHAGE ABANDONS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST WEST SIDE SPUR
TRACK
MOTIVES ARE Misunderstood
Any Further Attempts to EncroacF,
on West Side VIII BE Vigor-
Ously COmbated by Health
Commissioners.

Dr. Ohage says he has decided for the
present at least to drop his proposed en-
joining proceedings against the Omaha
railroad, which has been given perrnis-
sion by both bodies of the council to Law
spur track on the fill leading to the
baths.
The doctor had a consultation with the
legal department yesterday, but the out
come did not seem to be satisfactory.
and he announced his intention of drop
ping the matter at the conclusion Of the
conference.
I suppose some people would construe
1t as persecution on my part, and say
L was trying to throttle the city's indus
tries If took out an enjoining order ,,
said the doctor. 80 1 guess L will drop
the whole thing. My efforts now will be
directed at fighting any other track that
the company attempts to lay"
Parties connected with the Minnesota
Boat club are preparing to present to DR..
Ohage Raspberry island TO be used as a
part of the public baths and the play
grounds that it includes, but the doctor
says he will have to refuse. it if rendered.
He contends that the tracks have al
ready interfered with his plans, and he
does not propose to do any more.

me to death today"
Including a successor to City Engineer
Claussen, Mayor Smith has vacancies on
both the board of school of inspectors
and the board of public works, but the
trouble incident to filling the two latter
places is small compared to the engineer
ing department Here there are fully a
score Of places to fill, and while the
duty of naming subordinates devolves
upon the new engineer, the hundreds that
think they are entitled to job want
Mayor Smith to intereede for them, and
consequently fill the Office in an effort
to secure an audience.
All are heard, some of them are rather
tiresome, but the individuals are moth
ing to the delegations that call. The
average individual can be easily gotten
rid of, but the delegations generally in
clude someone that is insistent in his
demands and refuses to leave until his
wishes are either acceded to or fatty re-
fused. Jobs as street commissioners and
places in the building department are
the most sought by those who call.

WANT TO KNOW WHY
ALDERMEN SEEKING RESPONSIBLE,
ITY FOR ERRORS IN WINE
ROOM ORDINANCE
UP TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Marlham's Office Should Have m
formed the Board of Any IT.
Irregularities i'm Ordinance
Last Tuesday.

A large vote of censure for the legal
department is likely to be a part Of the
proceedings when the board of aldermen
again meets and is confronted with the
work of again passing wine room Or
dinance.
The reason is best told in the language
of one of the aldermen, who thinks that
he and his colleagues were imposed up
on. IF this wine room ordinance" said
the alderman yesterday, was so full of
mistakes and the fact was known to the
legal department then it was that de-
partments duty to inform US. The or
dinance with a few changes was handed
in as drafted by the ministers, and it
was in Difference to their wishes that we
gave 1t as prompt approval and passage
as we could. The clerk read the dOcu-
ment aloud several times and it seems
odd that with the mistakes existing one
of the attorneys present did not detect
it. If it was known to them, and L
don't believe it was, despite credited
statements to the contrary, it was a
gross neglect of duty on their part The
ministers want a wine room ordinance
and they shall have it. 1t must be said
that the board has acted in good faith in
this matter"
The fact that the words, City Of Chi
cago, instead of ST. Paul were used in
the ordinance seemed to be known onIy
to City Clerk Jensen for it was that Off
cial who called to the attention of the
assembly Thursday evening to the mis-
take before the vote was taken City
Attorney Markham says the ordinance
was never submitted to his department
and he was not aware of the mistakes
existing. The bill Is now in his hands
and will undergo a thorough overhauling
before being returned
The members Of the board at whose
hands the measure practically originated
do not take kindly to the~criticism made
and several found occasion yesterday to
visit the legal department and inquire
as to the accuracy of the statements
credited to that department

silly twaddle Thousands of men have

licked boys at school and grew up into
great nincompoops, In congress there
are no hungry COWS to be fed. nor
school boys to be licked. The two

It is too bad that the state of the
law IS such that the new counties can
not receive their share of the school
land lease funds at this apportionment.
They contributed more than their pro
rata to the very fund that is being
distributed and It is a grave oversight
in the law providing for their opening
that they should be cut out OF the ap-
portionment on account of careless
ness in drawing the bill.
The trouble is they were not in ex-
istence at the time Of the last annual
school meeting and so could not report
the number oil children of school age
upon which the apportionment is bas.
ed.
1t would seem that Secretary Hitch
cock was so intent on his lottery
scheme that he failed to give thought
to the common schools in those coun-
ties.
The people or the new counties can
thank Republican delegate, congress
and administration for their careless,
not to say criminal negligence, in SO
important a matter.
Flynn seems to have been so busy
that he could not find time to get a
little bill through congress correcting
this gross oversight, whereby the new
counties are beat out of several thous-
and dollars due them.
The announcement OF this lament
able position shocks the people of the
older counties who supposed, of
course the new counties would get,
their due proportion of the school
funds to which they had contributed
much more than their just proportion
This ruling loses for these counties
not only the ordinary school land rent
ais. but over a quarter Of million dol
lars paid as a bonus fund for their
leases.
~ Sttuls nOM dS luuuSh IL was lOO
late to do anything until the meeting
of the legislature when the matter
should be at once taken up and prop
er adjustment made to indemnify the
schools OF the new counties for their
losses
Il this was the condition, why wa
the matter not called up prior to the
January apportionment and the at
tention of congress called to the mat
ter and a remedial bill passed then?
The territorial administration can not
escape severe censure for a lapse OF
duty in so grave a matter.
The Leader will deem it a privilege
az well as a duty to do all in it's pow
er to secure for the people of these
counties their just rights of which
they have been deprived through
