Forest Wealth.

The National Bureau of For
estry, under Clifford Pinchot's
brilliant direction, is doing work
for America whose benefit, if not
thoroughly appreciated by this
generation, is certain to be by
the future ones. 1t would have
been well to have inaugurated a
national forestry system many
years ago. If Mr. PinchOt's S
present plans had been in opera
ton when the lumbermen began
to invade the great forests of
the middle northwest there
would be now a second forest
area to cut over, aggregat1ng
millions of acres, which today.
owing to the destructive meth
DDS of the numbering employed,
is practically waste and
worthless as any section of the
Colorado desert.
Not only does an intelligent
forestry administration of wood
ed and lumber areas mean con-
tinual forest crop, as against
one destructive cutting-killing
the goose that lays the golden
egg-but it means all the world
to our water resources, the foun-
tain-head of our streams in
every State and Territory. In
the East the preservation of che
stream flows is a matter of over
shadowing Importance to towns
and cities and manufacturing in
dustries; in the West, as water
is needed in addition for irriga-
ton, it means the actual life of
the land. More strength to the
arm of American forestry.-The
Homemaker.

Agriculture In Schools.

Canada is about to assume
the lead over this country in the
matter of teaching agriculture
in rural schools. The course
about to be adopted in the
Dominion is both scientific and
practical. The plan is to pro-
vide two or three acres of land
adjacent to the most important
school in several school districts
in each county, and with the ad-

A GOOD WORK
The Reno Chamber of Commerce Aiding the

The Reno Chamber of Com
merce has for several months
past been listing improved ranch
properties located in Humboldt,
Lyon, Douglas, Churchill and
Washoe counties in this State,
and in Plumas, Lassen and No

There are in the list over 15O,-
600 acres of choice lands, all un-

under cultivation. They are
ready for subdivision and tor
settlers and home builders.
These lands are in tracts OF
from twenty acres to five thous-

WORK OF RECLAIMING DESERT
Secretary Wilson Is Enthusiastic About Pos
sihle Results.


In the matter of what NAV
be done by irrigation Secretary
Wilson is an enthusiastic opti-
mist, as he is in nearly every de-
partment of the work that has
been taken up by the government
tor increasing and diversifying
the products of the soil.
In his address to the Irrigation
Congress at Ogden last week
Secretary Wilson expressed the
belief that irrigation Twill re-
suit in producing the one hun
dred million dollars worth of
sugar we now buy abroad"
This is, of course, somewhat
extravagant prophecy, but when
it is remembered what has al
ready been accomplished in the
way of reclaiming desert areas
through private enterprise, the
extreme optimism of the Secre-
tary seems almost warranted.
Before the national irrigation
law was passed the Department
of Agriculture had already con
Quoted experiments upon an ex-
tended scale to demonstrate the
value of irrigation in raising
small fruits and vegetables
There are two things which
NAV be done to increase the area
which can be reclaimed. One is
to increase the water supply
the other is to make a bet
ter use of the water which is al
ready available. The work of
the Agricultural Department is
along the latter line. 1t is found
that one-third of the volume of
water diverted is generally lost
in the entire length of canals.
To save these losses means an
increase, therefore, of at least
one-third in the area which can
ultimately be reclaimed. lnves-
legations have also shown that
some farmers use five to ten
times as much water as Others
who are raising the same crops
under similar conditions.
To equalize these conditions
and to insure the widest possi-
BILE use of the waters that are to
be husbanded through the oper-
alton of the irrigation law
opens up a great field of useful
ness for the Department OF Agri-
culture. Another field of useful
ness which the Department has
successfully entered is in the TAX
ing of alkali and other harmful
mineral substances out OF the
soil and converting the land into
productive areas. During one
years experiment with a forty
acre tract of alkali land near
Salt Lake, Utah, "a, 900 tons OF
alkali were run out of the soil,
and next year this land will be
ready for the cultivation of
crops.

REFUSED TO SIGN.
The Canadian Commissioners Bolt
In the Alaska Boundary Case.
IT CREATES A PAINFUL IMPRESSION.
The Decision Of the Tribunal Grants An
the American Contsntions with the Ex-
ception Of That Relating to the
Portland Canal. ..,

London, Oct. 20.-A draft Of the deci-
sion reached by the Alaska boundary
commissioners as announced by the
Associated press was signed by o ma
jority Of the commissioners yesterday
evening. Messrs. Aylesworth and
Jette, the Canadian commissioners, re-
fused to sign.
The decision grants all the Ameri-
can contentious with the exception Of
the one relating to the Portland ca
nal. The signatories were Lord Chief
Justice Aylesworth and Senator Lodge,
Senator Turner and Secretary Root,
the American commissioners. They
constituted majority and insured
finality. Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette
carried their outspoken disapproval OF
the decision to the point Of refusing to
sign even that section Of the decision
giving the Portland canal to Canada,
and they emphasized their attitude by
walking out of the cabinet room in the
foreign Office before the signatures Of
the others had been affixed to the his
toric document, which has already been
printed and Is ready for the session to
be held to-day.
The only thing remaining to be done
at this session is that the majority of
the tribunal complete and sign the
map which accompanies the decision,
and which infinitely determines the
course Of the boundary In accordance
with the American contentious con-
tanned in question No. 8.
The refusal Of Messrs. Aylesworth
and Jette to coincide in Lord Alver-
stones view was only known to q
few persons here last night, but at
the foreign Office and in high govern
ment circles 1t has created painful
There is no hope ex-
pressed that the Canadian commission
ers will reconsider their attitude and
sign the engrossed copy Of the deci-
sion, which will stand as the interna-
tional record Of the tribunals finding.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 20.-Fred Tutcher,
who was shot Sunday by the negro.
William Mason, died at Christ hospital
last night. Mason and his accomplish,
Thomas DeMoss, are In the county
Jail. The authorities are taking every
precaution against mob violence, but
expect an effort will be made to gain
possession of the negro, as many
threats have been made. Mason con-
fessed to the crime and is in great fear
that he will be lynched.
Later-About 200 incensed people
formed a mob last night and gathered
around the Jail with view Of lynching
the two negroes, but Sheriff Lucas had
spirited the prisoners to Lawrence on
the six o'clock train for safe keeping.
When the mob gathered the officers an
nounced that the negroes had been
taken away. A. committee from the
crowd, upon invitation, searched the
jail and found the negroes gone.
When the result Of the investigation
was announced the crowd dispersed.

A TRYING ORDEAL.
The Cavalry at Fort Riley Rode Yesterday
Over Thirty Miles and the Infantry
Tramped Nearly Twenty.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 20.-Yester-
days work In the maneuver camp
might with moderation be termed high
ly strenuous. None but regular troops
was out, and even for seasoned men
they went through an ordeal calculated
to try the enduring qualities In every
one. There were two exercises, similar
in character, and in one Of these. where
Lieut.. Col. Kingsbury commanded the
brown cavalry, it is conservative to
say that from the time Of leaving. camp
until the return his troopers rode 30
to IS miles. Much Of this march was
over broken ground and up and down
steep hillsides, where the men at
times had considerable dificulty in re-
tanning their saddles. The majority
of the infantry engaged tramped Is to
1S miles in heavy marching order.
A large portion Of the Missouri. Iowa
and Kansas troops put in part Of the
day making camp.
