OUR FOREST RESERVES.
Work Of Mapping and Examinafio
OF Tracts In Arizona, view Mexico
and Utah Being Carried On.


An important work in thesurvey and
investigation Of the government forest
reserves by the United States geology
cal survey is this seas on in progress I'M
der Henry Gannett, geographer. IL
consists in the extension of topograph-
ic survey, including triangulation and
spirit leveling, Of the reserves for the
construction of maps, and also in the
botanic and economic examination OF
the forests to discover the amount and
variety of standing timber, the dam
age done by forest fires and other ex-
listing conditions of the reserves.
Work this season has been directed
particularly to the reservations in Arr
zona, New Mexico and Utah.
In Arizona the examination which
was commenced last year and carried
over the northern section OF the San
Francisco mountain forest reserve Is
being continued TO cover its southern
portion. The total area Of this reserve
Is g75,360 acres. A like examination Is
being carried on in the Black Mesa re-
serve Of Arizona, whose area Is 1885,
$50 acres
In New Mexico the ella River reserve,
Of 1892, 040 acres. is being examined
and surveyed, as is also the Uinta re-
serve In Utah. In the last named state
Investigations are being extended to
the area of the proposed forest reserve
In the Wasatch and adjacent ranges,
with special reference TO the needs OF
the agricilturist and the protection OF
the water supply Of the streams now
ing from the region for the irrigation
Of lands in the valley floors.
Assistants 10 the geographer in
charge are Messrs +. @. Plummer, Ar
thur Dodwell, Theodore i. Rixon and
II. b, Ayres.
The forest reserves of the United
States are established by proclamation
Of the president; the total area OF land
thus set aside Is 46,s2s, 40 acres, dis
tributed in "A states and territories.
The object of reserving these tracts
OF woodland is not only to preserve
the forests, which are being rapidly
cut or destroyed by fire, but to insure
their permanence and increase their
value by scientific care and cutting. IL
IL also Of the utmost Importance, espe-
cially in the west, where water Is nee
essary for irrigation, to keep the
sources OF the streams properly for
astea in order to secure steadiness OF
flow.

WANTS TEN MILLIONS.
Columbia University Needs Mig Sum
to Accomplish All Its President
Hopes to See Done.

Columbia university Is in urgent
need OF $4,000, 900, according to Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler. In his
annual report DR.. Butler sets forth the
wants OF the institution and makes
comparison Of its resources with those
of the University of Chicago and other
great schools.
Columbia, he says, liz without ade-
quate grounds and buildings and with
out sufficient income properly to care
for the work that has already been
undertaken. The president reports
the value of the property Of the uni
versity to be $21 ,312,554. To pay debts,
buy needed lands, build needed build
ings and for general purposes, $lo,-
900 900 is required The present gem
eral debt of the university is nearly
So ,O00, 900, and the annual interest pay
ment to be met Is about 100000
President Butler also advocated re-
duction Of the four-year college course
Of liberal studies to two years "The
whole tendency Of our present educa-
tional system Is TO postpone unduly
the period of self-support," he said,
and suggested that the degree of
bachelor OF arts be conferred upon
graduates OF a two-years' course and
the degree Of master of arts at the com
pletion of a college course Of four
years.

lie opinion will not long sustain Q

cludes kindergarten course of two or
three years, an elementary school
course OF eight years, a college course
Of four years and professional or
technical course Of three years, fol-

WILL WANT AMERICAN WHEAT
1t II Expected Germany Will BE Dig
buyer OF Brendsfuffs During
Next Year.

Germany may be able to maintain
herembargo upon American meats, but
the indica tons are that she will be
big purchased of American breadstuffs
during the coming year. Latest Off
cial crop bulletins from the empire, ac-
cording to adyices reviewed at the sta te
department at Washington show that
the cereal product of the empire has
been very seriously damaged By excess
sive rainfall and cool weather. The
conditions were favorable for an un-
usually heavy crop of all the cereals up
until the end of July. Then. as the
time came for the wheat and rye to
ripen, the cold, wet. cloudy weather
kept back the harvest long after the
usual date. and, when the work or
gathering in the grain finally began,
greatly complicated the task of saving
the crops. In many fields the rye and
wheat has been cut and laid in swaths
or put up in shocks, exposed to rain
and storm. until the grain has been Sc
riously damaged by sprouting. The
first samples Of the new crop rye which
have been received at the produce ex-
change in Berlin are almost without
exception damp, more or less unripe,
and, even when artificially dried, of in
ferior grade. While. therefore, the
German grain crop this year will be up
TO the full average in quantity. it's
quality has been more or less seriously
damaged, and large quantities of rye,
which should have been used as bread
stuff, will now be distilled or used for
feeding animals. 1t is yet too early to
estimate closely the extent of this
damage, but accounts from all parts OF
the empire indicate that it will be con-
siderable.
The crop experts of the agricultural
department are keeping close watch
upon the reports from foreign coun-
tries The agricultural exports from
the United States Inst year were about
500, 00O, 900 in value less than in 1900.
The certainty Of :. bumper grain crop
in this country and poor crops abroad
assures a strong demand for export
grain and consequently good prices for
the products OF the American farm for
another year at least.

COAL IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Present Conditions May Resuh in
Working Deposits of mt kra cite
in That state.

Deposits of anthracite coal in
Massachusetts which were once
operated on large scale, may be
again utilized il present conditions
continue, says Boston dispatch to
the Times. In 1885 a bed of anthra-
cite was discovered in Mansfield,
which has since been explored, and
with others in that place, proved to
be of considerable Importance. 1t
was thought at the time that they
would develop into extensive and
valuable coal fields. Three companies
opened pits in different places, but
times we're hard and operations were
suspended in 1888, in the hope of OBJ
tanning aid from the state to resume
them on larger scale.

countries the compulsory use Of the
pure coffee in the armies and nayies.
Recommending to the governments
and countries which produce coffee that
they establish, as soon MS possible, in
countries Ia which coffee Is not now
consumed, places for the demonstrn-
ton OF pure coffee, and that coffee
producing and consuming countries
may prohibit the sale OF adulterated
coffee and Of substitutes bearing the
name Of coffee, and in case this prohibi-
ton cannot be enforced that a heavy
duty be imposed on such articles.

isfactory Showing.

From chart just issued by the d.
vision of mining and mineral resources
of the geological survey by DR.. ID. T.
Day, the quantity and value of the
mineral productions Of the United
States for the last ten years, ending
with 1901, is shown. From the arrange
ment of metallic and nonmetallic re-
sources on a single sheet it is possible
to follow the yearly production OF
about 60 of the most important min
eral productions of the country during
the decade. The value of the total out
put Of metallic ores, such as iron, cop
per, silver and other ores in 1901 was
1924, s73,2S4, against $307,936,1s9 in
1892, and the value Of nonmetallic pro-
ducts, including coal, petroleum, nat
ural gas. and building materials was
$500, 351 900 in 1901, as against $685.,

PLEA OF MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Brings Relief to Poor Widow who
Had Been Told to Buy an On
ciaI Mail Box.

1ntercession of Mrs. Roosevelt in be-
half of destitute widow, residing in
a western state, was the cause of the
issuance by First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne recently of an order
prohibiting any postmaster or rural
letter carrier from condemning or de-
clinIng to serve any rural mail route
letter box which does not comply with
the requirements of the department
Mrs. Roosevelt received the letter
some time ago. The writer explained
that she was a widow, the sole sup
port Of her children, and was poor.
Being unable to purchase steel let
ter box of the style authorized by the
department, she had removed from
tree near her home to point on
the roadside wooden bird cottage,
which she thought by the addition of
a slit in its top would answer the
purpose of a mail receptacle.
The postmaster at the rural free
delivery Office held TO the letter OF
the departments instructions defining
the kind Of mail box to be used, and
ordered the rural carrier not to leave
mail in the bird cottage.
AS last resort the widow wrote
Mrs. Roosevelt, who, after consulting
with Secretary Cortelyou, forwarded
the communicat ton to First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne. r.
AT the time the letter was received,
the advisability Of according to post
masters the right to pass upon the
mail boxes in their several districts
was under discussion The letter re-
ceived by Mrs. Roosevelt and the note
of transmittal by Secretary Cortel-
you asking if anything could be done
settled the matter,

A tramp, exhausted and almost

of the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany at Pueblo, Col, just before day
light the other morning, and, groan-
Ing with pain. begged the surgeon in
charge to give him medicine, 4. fgr.v
AS he was taking dose OF medicine
the physician espied an envelope stick
ing out of his pocket directed to
prof. Walter A. Wyckoff, Princeton,

The tramp then admitted that he
was the author of "The Workers. and
that for several weeks he had been
beating his way about the state, assoc
ciating with the hobo and studying
the life Of the man who lives without
work
For several hours Prof. Wyckoff con-
tinued to suffer intense pain, but the
constant attention of the medical man
finally relieved him and he insisted
on continuing his tramp. Prof. Wye
koff said he came all the way from
Aguilar, in Huerfano county, where
he had been for several days. During
the entire night the rain poured stead
lily and the temperature was lower
than it had been this season for many
years.
He says that during his stay in Col
