entire South Side system was in full
operation and the congestion on the ele-
waited and steam roads relieved.
The acceptance of the treaty of peace
by the strikers was complete The OPP
position that developed was satisfactorily
explained away by President Mahon,
President BuekIey, Attorneys Prentiss
and others prominent in arriving at the
provisional agreement. Section by sec

great show of enthusiasm.
The union leaders and their followers
were enthusiastic in the declaration that
the strikes end was a signal triumph for
uniOnism. The company officials, how
yer, declared that the terms Of the
agreement showed that the company had
won, practically, in every feature, with
the concession of taking back employees
who went out on sympathetic strike. The
arbitration of wages-the present scale
to be set aside and the new scale to be
based on the actual worth of labor-re-

any of the original demands of the
strikers.

Tie Bureau of Forestry.

1t is interesting to note the evolution
oi what was formerly the Division, but
now the Bureau OF Forestry. The work
has enlarged its scope immensely in
the last few years. until now it en-
braces a much wider area OF interests
than one would suppose belonged to
the noble science OF forestry.
Besides the work expected to come
from it as matter OF course, such
as the conserving OF rational parks
and government timber lands, there are
a host OF other specialized branches OF
this interesting profession. 1t in
cludes the chemical investigation OF
tanning extracts from native woods
and barks; the production OF turpentine
by "orcharding,' a new system which
bids fair to rcvolutionizc the whole in
dustry pertaining to that household
remedy; then there are the testing and
classification OF timber in regard 10
strength and durability; the best way to
stop sand drifting by tree planting.
and many others OF similar nature.
The report OF the Forester for 1902
is particularly encouraging in one point
that which records in brief the chang
ing attitude OF private owners OF large
forest reserves. They are coming
more each year to look to the Bureau
for advice on the management of their
property. This is given free BY Uncle
Sam on condition that the owner pay
the bare expenses OF an expedition to
the forests to be looked over and adj
viscd upon. The owners are often quite
willing to DO this. for it means a more
profitable management OF their wood
lands-and money is most cloquon,
persuader.
