While the advance Of civilization across
the American continent has been accom-
panied By the destruction Of the major part
Of the primevai forests Il has done the
forests the service Of extending their boun-
daries far Into the original prairie country.
Artificial plantations and the incidental
protection afforded BY settlements to the
natural growths have increased the timber
area OF prairie states and led TO the natural
sro~tn OF trees in places where they were
formerly unknown.
How the forest has extended its frontiers
In Nebraska is we'll told By William L.
Hall Of the Bureau Of Forestry. In A bulIe-
tin on The Timber Resources OF Me-
braska-" Along almost every stream and
ravine." he says, the forest has won some
ground from the prairie. Here It has been
only q few square yards; there Il has been
several acres" The eettlement OF the state
ended the trampling Of the buffalo, and.
to a large extent, the destruction By Ere.
In eastern Nebraska the forest has con-
quered 400 square miles OF new ground.

and to ravines. II springs IN in every

For the purpose of assisting the sugar

proposes to negotiate a loan of $50, OO0,-
900. 1t is to be a gold loan and will be
offered on what may be considered ia

win so regard 1t is probIematical. There
is some uncertainty as to the stability
OF the Cuban government and this feel
ing is quite likely to interfere with the
sale Of securities by that government.
The plan is to pledge the customs re-
ceipts in general and the receipts from
increased duties on certain articles In
