Our New Minister.

"Our New Minister" is the catchy
title Of the new rural play by Denman
Thompson and Geo. w. Ryer, which
North Yakima sees for the first time on
ThuIsdey evening, May 81, at Larson's
theatre. The subject chosen by the au-
thors of THE Old Homestead" while
dealing with life in any New England
village at the present day is nevertheless
new one to the stage and is sure to
prove a genuine treat and welcome di-
version. An evening in such an atmos-
phere is well spent, and one cannot but
predict for it a tremendous success. The
principal character, that of the new
minister, Thaddeus Strong, is distinct
original, and is nothing like anything
that has been given to the stage before.
While "Our New Minister" is very
strong from dramatic point, it also has
its moments of pathos, and the whole
some laughter that is created is caused
by the oddity OF the Yankee character,
and the mirthfulness, brightness and
wit of the language. The original cas-
will be seen. The entire scenic product
ton is carried.

WOULD BURN DOWN
lARSON'S LUMBER YARD
An lncendiary Attempts to Destroy
LarSOn'S Lumber Yard and
Adjoining Property.

A good deal of excitement was caused
Sunday afternoon when the news spread
that some one had attempted to burn
up the lumber yard and warehouse of A .
f. Larson.
1t was about , o'clock in the afternoon
when Ed Muligan on his way to town
discovered a blaze in the north end #
the dry shed, just back of the warehouse
after some difficulty, in squelching the
flames. The police department was then
notified and search OF the surround
ings made. A can of coal oil had been
poured on pile of dry lumber and eight
partly burned matches were found on
the ground, showing the number OF at
tempts tn ignite the rnmhustible ma
terial which had failed
As everyone knows all day Sunday,
and especially the early part of the after
noon it was very windy, aud had the FIRE
been permitted to gain headway among
that dry lumber there is no estimating
the value of property that might have
been destroyed. Not only Larson's lum-
Der yard but all tn group OF warehouses
and other lumber yards acro,. the track
would probably have been eaten up by
the flames, maddened a, they would
have been by the fierce wind.
Mr.. Larson is at a loss to account for
the motive which prompted the person
in attempting such deed upon his
property, but he is, nevertheless, conf
dent that arson was in the heart of who
ever put the match to the coal oiled lum-
Der. The evidence is prima facie.
The lumber yard is now being closely
watched and any prowler viii be jerked
up and made to answer on suspicion.

A FOREST POLICY FOR CALIFORNIA.
Inc State to Spend $4,000 on an Examina-
tiOn of Its Forest Resources.

with the help of the Bureau of
Forestry, comprehensive and
detailed study OF its forests. The
State legislature at is late ses-
sion appropriated $4,000 for
the study, the condition being
that it should be carried out by
the Bureau of Forestry, and
that the Bureau should bear half
the expense.
The State desires to kaow
those facts about it's forests
which will guide it in passing
wise forest laws. 1t desires to
know, for instance, what dis
posal should be made of the
State forest lands, what should
be done to regulate the cutting
of timber on them, how forest
fires may best be restrained,
whether tree-planting in denud-
ed areas will pay, etc.
The task of securing all the
information necessary for for
est policy for California the Bu-
reau OF Forestry has begun this
Summer. The work is of such
magnitude that several years
will be required to complete it,
but valuable and suggestive re-
suits will be secured each year.
The work has been begun on
large scale. Six men are now
examining public lands in the
State to determine what parts
of them are suitable for ma tional
forest reserves, and similar stud
les will be made of lands for
State reserves. A study will be
made of all lands owned by the
State in order to determine the
uses to which they may best be
put, who should administer
them, and what sort of admin
istration they should have. A
forest map of California will be
made, showing the location OF
all forest areas and distinguish
ing between the different kinds
of forests. In connection with
the forest map will be study of
important trees in order to learn
with exactness the commercial
range of the valuable species.
An inves -igation will be made OF
the effects of numbering on the
forest in order to determine what
ought to be done to cut-over
lands. 1t is of great import
ance to know what happens to
the land in different parts of the
timbered regions after it is cut
over by the lumberman-wheth-
er it comes up again in timber
or whether it becomes waste
land.
The effects of fire on the forest,
especially after numbering, and
what may be done by the State
to prevent fire, are subjects that
will take a long time to work
out. In September E. E. Ster-
ling, of the Bureau, will try to
determine what is the cheapest
and most effective method OF
protecting from fire land which
has been numbered.
The Bureau will also make a
study of the chaparral lands OF
Southern California in order to
learn whether it will paw to
plant them with timber trees. A
very in teresting question has
been raised as to whether chap
arral-which includes a great
variety of scrub trees, such as
manzanita, scrub oak, valley
mahogany, and scrub cherry
will retain the moisture in the
