FAMINE IN TIMBER TREES.
Growing Scarcity Of. Wood Fit For
Manufacturing

Manufacturing Purposes.
1t will be but a few years before du-
rable timber becomes very much dear
er than it is at present.. Good chestnut
and white oak posts are worth now Is
cents each and red cedar posts 20 cents
apiece undressed and are hard to get at
that. Ten years from nov the supply
will be much less. No more profitable
use of land can be made than to plant
ash, maple. poplar, willow, locust and
other trees that have a value in the
arts for their timber. Plant the rough
land to trees. The eucalyptus are now
grown in the southwestern portion OF
u country more extensively than any
other exotic forest tree.
These trees are originally from Aus
tralia. They are known there under
the name of antlfever trees, as by their
rapid growth and large amount of TO-
liage they absorb the poisonous gases
of the swamps. making the air pure
and the climate healthy. In Califor-
mia, Kansas and Indiana tracts of land
several thousand acres in area have
been planted with seedlings of the eu.
calyptus rostrata for fuel, railroad ties
and for windbreaks. On account Of
their rapid growth they make desirable
shade trees for the dwelling and pas
ture lots. In many parts of the south
west the eucalypts arc utilized to adj
vantage to furnish shade in pastures.
If set along the fences and along the
i%rrigating bitches they can be made to
protect the cattle in the pasture with
out at any time interfering with farm
work. Seedlings may be had from the
nursegyman in 100 lots at 5 cents each.
There are some thirty different varie-
ties, and all of them are said to grow
equally well in the middle and south;
ern states. Plant the hillsides in for
est trees and farm the low ground

Chicago's Trotting Revival.

Chicago, after Il rest Of four years,
has at last had Il meeting at which the
trotterS and PAGERS were the attraction,
and the promoters are now more con-
ident than ever that there are enough
people in the great western city to sup
port a big meeting Over a mile track.
1t would seem as though there were
enough members of the Gentlemen's
Driving club to guarantee a meeting
at Washington park at which the stars
of the harness world would appear. A
meeting of sufficient caliber to attract
the greatest horses on the turf and con-
Quoted on the@' 'Memplis plan" should
attract large crowds every day.

The New America.

The Latins and the Slavs are going
to play an important part in making
the American republic of the future
what it is destined to be, says the
Cleveland Leader. This means a
warmer temperament, more love of
color and gayety, more passion and
more inclination toward art and music.
The future America may be all the
more interesting, varied. many sided
and imposing for tlle v. river of new
blood and novel customs and ideas
flowing into the country. but the
change must not be too rapid. 1t is
time to think of foodgates to check the
tide.

If Ben Kenney is correct in his opin-
ions, another trotting star of the first
magnitude may be seen this season.
He has formed a very favorable opin-
ion of Amelia, 2:OGA, and thinks she
can materially reduce her record.
Kenney is Il clever man with a horse,

titled to respectful consideration. While

mNn Baseball War;,

According to Ban Johnson, the Ma

carry on a war with his organization.
He stamps the stories of a renewed
fight as absurd and says that even
though the old league had the money
it would hardly care for a fight with
his league.

Of the American association to. prevent

THE new PURE FOOD Law

New York, Aug 19.-Instructions
have been received from the treasury.
department by Collector of the Port
Stranahan.t to hold up more than a hun
dred invoices of food products which the
agricultural department desires sam
pied under the provisions of the new

sent out apply almost entirely to
French and Italian products, and in
cluGs shipments to some of the best
known grocery importers in the city.
The merchandise includes table delica-
cies. wines, olive oil and canned goods.
1t appears that alleged adulteration
does not constitute by any means the
largest item in the orders to hold GER
tain items OF foodstuffs. A large in

OF the largest grocery houses in the
city, has, for instance. been detained.
1t is not claimed that the peas are
adulterated. but that lead has been
used in soldering the cans. and that the
lead comes in direct contact with the
contents. This Is not allowed under

Railroad Agents in Trouble.

c. A. Appleby, agent of the Iron
Mountain at Wilmar, and one Phillips,
agent at McGehee, have been arrested,
charged with engaging in a systematic
scheme to defraud the railroad and
express companies. 1t is charged that
Phillips stole lot of express money
order blanks and mailed them to Ap-
pleby with letter asking that he fill
them out and send them back, so that
Phillips could take a vacation, cash
the order at different places and divide
the money. 1t seems the blank orders
and letter fell into the hands of the
railroad officials before they reached
Appleby. 1t is also charged that Ap-
pleby and Phillips have been stealing
merchandise and shipping it away or
checking it as baggage to some point
known to them and the officers, where
the goods were sold and the money
divided between the conspirators.
Other arrests may follow.

THE TWO YACHTS MEASURED.
Reliance and Shamrock Have Their
Measure Taken-Latter Allowed
Minute anG Three-Qunrfers.

New York, Aug 19-The Reliance
and Shamrock III. were measured,
Tuesday, in the Erie Basin by C. E..
Mower, the official measurer of the
New York Yacht club. AS the result
of the measurements and calculations,
1t was announced at the yacht club that
the Reliance will allow the challenger
one minute and forty-five seconds over
30-mile course. 1t was found that
the Shamrock III. was slightly longer
on the water line than the American
boat, but the latter proved to have
nearly two thousand more square feet
OF sail area than the challenger, and
1t was .Lis enormous sail spread that
taxed the American boat so heavily.
The announcement of the time al
lowance in favor of the challenger
caused little surprise at the yacht club,
as it was the very general belief that
the Reliance would prove considerably
larger all around than her oppontent.
