The Harvest Moon.

1t so happens that the position of the
moon is such that the full moon pre-
ceding the autumnal equinox for sew
eral successive nights in the latitude
of London rises only nine or ten min
utes later each succeeding evening
This phenomenon is called the harvest
moon" from a notion that it is a provi-

to enable the husbandman to take care
of his grain at night if there is so much
of it that it cannot be handled during
daylight

Cut at Great Rate.
Since then the great pinery has
been cut over in a way unprecedented
in numbering In 1873 the cut was
about 1000. 900, 900 feet 1t reached
high-water mark in 1892, when it was
over S,50O,0OO,0O0 feet. Since then 1T
has steadily fallen, until for 1902 it
was a little over 5000, 900 900. To the
enormous total of about 1SS,000,O000OO
feet cut in the last so years there
must be added about 2S,000,0 100000, or
Is per cent, for laths, shingles and
minor produce. making total of 216,-
600, 100000. Fifty billion feet were
probably cut prior to 1873, which
would bring the total product of the
lake states to about 265 5000 900
feet. AS the estimate of the original
stand amounted to about 350,000,000,-
600 feet, it would seem that after the
cut of 1892, exclusive of second
growth, there were $1,000, 100000 feet

the vast discrepancy only a part can
be put down to error, since we know
enough of the fire history of these
states to ascribe the loss of 6O,0O0,OO0,-
600 feet to fire. These figures show
that it is a safe and conservative esti-
mate that the end of the white pine
is near. and that 10 years will see it
disappear as an important factor in

HANssRoUGH DEFENDS LAND
BILL.

Says Provisions are Misunderstood
and Makes Explanation Of its
Effect.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The senate
committee on public lands will hold
a meeting early in December to take
up the Hansbrough bill and other
measures proposing notifications in
the public land laws of the United
States. Senator Hansbrough, chair
mar of the committee, today COM
mented on the attacks made on his
bill, in which it was alleged that the
provision relative to forestry reserve
lieu land selections repeats a portion
of the irrigation act.
The senator said that the true in
tent and purpose Of the measure had
been misrepresented. He asserts that
the provision in question makes no
change in existing law, simply limit
ing the right to non-timbered land.
The irrigation act, on the other hand,
it is pointed out, is in it's nature q
specific act. 1t relates to particular
classes of lands and specifically pro-
vides one method only for their appli-
cation, while the lieu land act applies
to Incorporated lands generally,
and is in that sense a general act
Senator Hansbrough said that, from
information he has received from peo-
Pile in the Northwest. there is a gen.
eral Misrepresentation as to the pur.
pose Of the bill he had introduced
He said:
"My bill repeats the timber and
stone act and authorizes the secretary
Of the interior to appraise and sell the

murder is an expensive luxury. The
first trial Of Barry's case is said to
have cost $4,000. That was set aside
by the supreme court on an erroneous
charge by the court and a second trial

four weeks at an expense probably
not much less than in the first in

mistrial. Barry will be held to the
next term of the district court, when
the long and tedious procedure will
be repeated unless the state in the
meantime chooses to accept a plea of
guilty to some lesser offense than
murder. AS The jury in the present
instance is said to have stood nine to

will accept such a plea. The Barry

Washburn Leader: The death of
Henry Clark of Lidgerwood who was
shot last week while hunting ear
Coal Harbor, brings m to a realiza-
ton that the game laws are somewhat
lax in the matter of deer hunting.
When a man applies for a hunting
permit he should be made to take a
solemn oath that he has hunted be-
fore and will not get what is known as
the buck" fever and that the fre arm
will not kill over a mile. In the
recent accidental shooting the man

received his death wound. Had there
been a manslaughter clause to the
game law, it would make the hunter
think twice before shooting at every
moving object. Other states had to
adopt this law on account Of so many
accidents to understand in some
cases not accidents. When a hunter
goes out after deer he takes his life
in his hand. Some very narrow es-
capes are reported by returning
hunters.
