Good Hdpiee.

Laugh your troubles all away
Ha! ha!
Don't be sad, but always gay
Ha! ha!
Think of every funny joke;
Laugh until you almost choke;
And your sides feel like they're broke
Ha! ha!
Take lesson from the clown
Ha! ha!
Cut out every sigh and frOwn-
Ha! ha!
There's no sense in dread and fear;
A grin is better than tear;
Get what's coming to you here
Ha! ha!

after the timber is destroyed as during
1000 years when covered by trees" In
England many of the large land hold
ers depend upon their oak forests for
their income they cut certain num-
ber of trees each year and at once re-
plant the same number. So year after
year for generations past the forest has
Welded an income and still remains as
it did 500 years ago.
A remedy of this kind might be ap-
piled to conditions in this country with
beneficial results. Our present forest re-
serves should be enlarged even if it
means the purchase of standing timber
from individual holders. All forests
should be in the hands of the Bureau of
Forestry and its powers should be en-
larged. No more large tracts of timber
should be cut except under direction of
skilled foresters who should first survey
the same and ascertain the probable af-
feet on the water supply. And beyond
all, no more timber should be cut until
arrangements are made for Immediately
replanting the tract.
The above work in connection with
rep!anting present cut over tracts
would give employment to many for
esters and in the case of private owner
ship a system of heavy taxation on cut
over land, with rebate of same when
replanted, might encourage private in
terests to take hand in renewing our
forests. But one can readily see it is
not an inviting prospect for individuals
as one must wait so long for returns,
but the government could take hold of
the work and accomplish much good.
. By systematic application of fores-
try our timber lartds might be made to
produce as much timber for lumber as
is now cut without decreasing the sup
ply and without the present evils of
loss of soil and loss to irrigation, floods
and the diminution of water power.
You are all acquainted with the
great annual loss by forest fires. We
read about them with painful regulari-
ty. The prevention of these fires is not
a difficult matter if an efficient force is
employed in the work. The patroling of
the forests more thoroughly than at
present is an urgent necessity. This
might be put into the hands of recon
structed Bureau of Forestry, but to
make it effective several thousand men
must be employed. AWestern man sug-
gests the use of idle government troops
and the idea seems feasible. The troops
might be organized after the pattern of
the Canadian mounted police and the &C.
tive employment of the soldiers would
be better than to keep them housed up
in barracks.
Now that active work is to be COM
menced upon government irrigation
the matter of forestry should be given
wide attention. George Maxwell by
pushing his plans for government aid
of irrigation to successful termina.
tion has shown what can be done by
making en- active campaign. 1t re-
mains for some public spirited man
full of "big Americanism" to agitate
the forestry question until the govern
ment provides for the proper admins
tration of our forests. To such man
will be demonstrated Ito quote Max
Wells "Talisman"0 that "Peace hath
her victories no less renowned thar
war" w. E. G.

Forest Preservation.

A 5 a preliminary TO Ine paper
~ about to be read, the attention
~ of the circle is called to the
we'll known fact that nature is
the basis of all wealth and that every
thing of value comes from the soil or
from the waters of the earth. Hence
the paramount issue OF the age or OF
any age is the preservation of all natur-
al wealth.
To my mind the real questions affect
ing the great mass of the common peo-
pie are not political. Labor and capi-
tai, the negro, the tariff, are all inter-
esting questions, but will adjust them
selves in due season. The real ques-
tion, the question which should be
studied and agitated by every citizen
of this country, is the preservation OF
our great natural wealth. Among these
vital questions might be mentioned IT.
rigation under the National Irrigation
Law which will bring into cultivation
section almost as large as Europe;
the making of equitable land laws
which will preserve our public lands
for actual settlers, and forestry to pre-
serve our timber and regulate tie wat
or supply. These are matters to which
we cannot give too much attention.
The tariff one way or another does
not affect any but paper values and mis-
&,ho IN q roofifind Like
wise if mistake is made in handling
the negro question or in making laws
affecting capital and labor it can be
corrected; and while some persons
might suffer for while and even lose
money, it does not lessen the supply of
wealth in the world. Real values are
not affected.
But destroy forest on one of our
water sheds and allow the barren land
to lie unprotected for years and real
change in value occurs and something
islost which cannot be restored. The soil
is washed away and this is something
man cannot replace in an age. The
water which should be filling streams
flowing from the mountains is gone
forever, and besides loss of water
power, in some sections where irriga
tion is practiced, half state may be
made unfit for cultivation. The result.
ing loss runs into the millions and
where there is loss of natural
wealth, it is not in paper values but is
a loss which affects every inhabitant
in the country, even every member OF
this circle.
Take $lOO,OOO,OOO out of the country
for good and there is just that much
less in the world, and it makes what
is left that much harder to obtain; anC
contend that loss of natural wealth
means great deal to even man whC
is today digging in the street for a liv
ing, as part of his opportunity hal
been destroyed. There is just tina
much less in the world to 60 after.
The original definition of Forester
was, zone who lives in forest o.

of forester in old English fiction, a sor
or Robin Hood, depending upon {

WORTH A SECOND THOUGHT

The Carson City papers state that
the Nevada board of education has
$500. 900 worth of government bonds
belonging to the school fund, the in
terest on which is used for the purpose
of defraying the expenses Of the public
school system in Nevada. They are
United States bonds drawing 4 per
cent. insterest per annum and mature
in 1907. The Board of Education is
thinking seriously, in fact has partial
ly made arrangements to dispose Of
government bonds and with the money
buy Massachusetts, State bonds bear
ing 8 and 8 1-2 per cent. interest and
running from twenty to forty years
yet
On the face of the matter it would
appear to be a wise move, il the ex-
change could be made; but the tax
payers of the State are entitled to a
voice in these matters, and possibly to
a vote. 1t would be we'll to consider
this proposition thoroughly. Govern
ment bonds are not bad investments
in themselves, and a half million is a
big sum.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

The sweeping injunction granted in
the United Circuit Court at st. Paul
Thursday cannot fail to give joy and
pride to all who believe in the sound
ness and practical common sense OF
straight-out Republican legislation
with the trust questions agitating
some people-principally the profess
sional agitators.
In brief the opinion, in which all
four judges c%oncurred, holds that the
Northern Securities company was a
combination formed from the defend
ants, the Great Northern Railway
company and the Northern Pacific
Railway company, in restraint of
trade and commerce among the sew
eral States, such as the antitrust law
declares to be illegal, and e~njoins the
Securities company from acquiring or
attempting to acquire, or exercising
any control or influence over the
acts of the railway company and en-
joins the officers of either of the rail-
way companies from permitting the
Northern Securities company to vote
any stock of either company. or to
exercise any control whatever over
the acts of the railway companies. The
Securities company is permitted TO re-
turn TO the stockholders of the rail
way companies any stock it may have
received, undoing the transaction by
which it obtained it.
