TnIBER OF ALAsIhg ISLANDS
Great Forest Reserve Of Alexander
ArehfPeIso RecenfIy Crezsed bx
Che President

IF were TO tel you that IN far
on Alaska, whose resources are just
becoming known, there is an extern
sive forest IN which are found num-
berless trees from six to eight feet
In diameter and 200 feet In height
you would question my veracity,"
said an Official Of the interior depart
ment the other day. Nevertheless,
that is the fact" he added ''Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently created a for
est reserve, embracing most Of the
islands Of the Alexander archipelago,
lying on the southeast coast Of
Alaska
These islands. mountainous in
character, extend along the coast for
about 26O miles, and from the shore
to their outer limits is about 60
miles 1t Is a fact that practically
every foot OF soil is covered with
dense vegetable life, trees Of NAM
moth size growing abUndantly from
the coast clear up the mountain sides
TO an elevation Of 1000 or $500 feet.
Practically all Of the valuable timber
Of Alaska is concentrated in this
group OF islands, and only a little OF
il has been cut
People generally have a miscon-
eeptiOn Of climatic conditions in Alas
ka, especially the southeastern pan
handle. II Is a matter Of record that
on the Alexander archipelago there
is an annual rainfall of so inches,
much of the moisture descending IN
the form of a gentle mist, keeping
the soil constantly damp The warm
Japan current runs IN close by, mod
Grating the temperature. Snow is
practically unknown, yet a few miles
in on the mainland the winters are
severe. There the effects of the Japan
current are but little felt.
''The forests Of the archipelago
were recently studied by an officer
Of the navy department sent for that
purpose He reported that only the
spruce and hemlock reach the pro
portions I have given YOU, although
yellow cedar. a most valuabl wood
often reaches a diameter Of three &c
four feet. The smaller trees are the
alder, cottonwood. poplar, maple,
willow and red cedar.
NO doubt when the timber supply
OF the United States becomes depict
ed" continued the official, according
to the Washington Star, Gas it Ger
tainlv viii at the present rate Of cut
ting, the virgin forests Of Alaska viii
make a valuable contribution to the
nations supply. The president was
fortunate in reserving this rich spot
before its presence became known to
timber spectators and before the
hand OF man worked devastation
throughout its length and breadth"

Prehistorie Man in the West.


Something over year ago in Kansas
was discovered the famous Lansing
skull agreed by scientists to have be-
Ionged to one of the very oldest races of
men of which the geologist has found a
record.
Recently in Nebraska a discovery Of
perhaps equal Importance was made.
This is a flint quarry now buried ten
feet in the soil. The implements found
about the quarry are like those of neith-
er the Indians or mound builders. They
seem rather to go back to the stone age.
The mine is very large and the gather
ing of ten feet of earth over its entire
extent would require ages. For 100
years past no change has been observed
in the thickness of this layer. This is
shown both by observation and by trees
which have grown on the surface.
Both the Lansing skull and the Ne
braska flint quarry would indicate the
existence of a race older than either of
the people known to have existed on
this continent. 1t would seem from this
that the Missouri valley was one of the
first sections of the country to sustain
human life. The result of these two
finds viii be to arouse added research
throughout the entire region.

great wave Of lying and stealing that
was sweeping over the city, relates Lip

said:

DO w WEE OURSELVES on?
Census shows More Centenarians in This
Than Any Other COuntry-SWfft
Pace Agrees With Is.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
Bearing directly upon the question
whether We were right or wrong in de
nying that Americans really do wear
themselves out In a Wild rush for wealth
IS the revelation Of mathematician at
work on the figures Of the last census
that there are more centenariars in this
country with statistics as Trustworthy
as ours, and that the number Of our
.centenarians is steadily increasing. It
appears that with a population IN 1900
of about 100000 we had 1926 inhabi-
tsnts who were 100 years old or more.
This becomes extremely significant
when It is compared with the fact that
Germany, England, France, Scotland
and Servia with a combined population
of over I35,OOOOOO had together only
half as many people who had passed the
century mark. OF our centenariaus
2.247 are women, and BIZ are native
born. Ten years ago the average length
of life in the United States was 81 years:
now 1t Is 32-an enormous change to be
made in so short a time. Our pace may
be rapid but it seems to be agreeing with
Us and we need neither sympathy nor
advice as to how we should live from ma
tioEs that Go not take as good care of
themselves as we do. The truth is that
our neighbOrs are considerably more
worried by the success with which we
rush for wealth than they are about
the effects of the speed on our health
That applies Of course only to the neigh
bOrs who are not quite kind. There are
others who repeat their warning words
simply because it makes conversation
without the inconvenience of thinking
things out.

American Girls OutgrOwing American

Men
From the Chicago Tribune.
The American girl is outgrowing tbs
American man. There have been some
suspicious in this direction for some
time but now it seems to be settled as
fact. DR.. LOrenz, the distinguished
Vienna physician, has noticed It and
commented on it.
The serious question arises as TO what
the romance writer is to do for sweet
faced girls who just come up to the
hearts Of the manly lover. The sweet
faced girls PROBABLY viii be found, but
suppose they tower half head over the
manly hero. How are you to get any
digni6ed romance out Of that situation?
If when Angeline wishes to repOse on
the burly chest she finds that her cheek
rests sereneIy on the top of Reginald's
bald, but dear, head doesn't it look as if
the situation would be more ridiculous
than romantic?
1t would seem that the only thing dig
nifed for Angelina to do is to quit re-
posing until Reginald grows up. DR..
LoTenz has noted that the American
girl is the most beautiful in the world,
but the thrill Of pride which will stir all
American hearts at that tribute becomes
a quaver of doubt when he announces
that her superior physical developement
makes the American man look puny.
Why can't she be pretty and small? In
other countries her physique is inferior
to that Of the man. In America it is su-
perior, says DR.. Lorenz, and If he be ad-
mitted correct on the beauty proposition
the virtue Of his words will have to be
admitted IN the latter which is distress
ing.
To get the proper proportions between
Angelina and Reginald, such as is good
form in al well regulated romances, it
would be necessary for Reggy to be
about seven feet tall, which is asking
entirely too much Of him at this early
stage in the country's history. Perhaps
when the nation is several hundred
years older it will be possible for Reg
inald to come up to expectations, but it
is entirely out of the question now.
The cause of the American girls su-
periOr development is probably found
in the Athletic life of which she has be-
come fond. The boys have the same
sort Of life and more of it but the fact
that they do not keep pace with their
sisters in development may be attribut-
ed TO the fact that they drink and smoke
at ages when they ought motif they
ever should.

My father owned a waterproof watch
That wound up 10 the handler
And nary watch for miles around
To IL could hold a candle.
Pap hung his vest On the COW yard fence
And sat down for a rest;
Our brindle hsifer she sneaked up
And chswed up pOppy's vest
When daddy saw the pesky brute
A boiling down his ticker
He ran and got his old brown jug
And drank quart OF liquor.
Years passed away we bsefed that COW,
And In her stomach found
The old mans watch, as good as new,
And running safe and sound.
That critters stomach, rubbing. wound
Pops watch each day within il.
And though ten years had slipped around.
