Timber in the u. S.

The Bureau of Forestry estimates
the forest area of the United States at
700, 900. 600 acres and adds that if these
acres had received intelligent care
they would now contain ten times as
much available timber as they will
yield. The necessity for great quanti-
ties of timber for railway ties empha-
sizes the advisability of preserving the
forests. 1t has been ascertained that
each mile of the $50, 600 miles of rail
way in the United States requires 400
ties per year. 1t takes SO years to grow
a tree that will make three ties and
ordinarily requires 25 acres to furnish
400 ties.

by County Supervisors

N7N'EEENE
The county board committee on build
ings considered the proposed detention
hospital Wednesday afternoon, but
took no definite action. 1t was thought
that the best location for the new in
Stitueion would be near the asylum for
the chronic insane. An appropriation
of $4,000 has been made for the hospi-
tai. 1t is understood that the institu-
ton is needed fer the delirium tremens
patients which are sent to the county
hospital, where, under the present
conditions, they disturb the other pa
tents.

FOR AN ELECTRIC LINE
Eastern Capitalists Contemplate Con-
structio of Road in GranIlCounty.

From reports, representatives OF
eastern capitalists, including the
American Electric company OF New
York, have been looking over por-
tions of Grant county, with the
view of building an electric railroad
Of standard gauge through the
county, connecting Bloomington on
the west and Platteville on the
south. From the last named city
the plan is to build the line either
to Dubuque or Apple River on the
Illinois Central railroad.
The prime mover in the enter
prise is P. Flynn, the veteran rail
road builder, whose persistence in
the matter should be rewarded with
substantial results.
Electric Lines with sufficient power
and a good track for hauling freight
cars pay big dividends almost uni
versally, and the construction OF
such a line through Grant county
would be a splendid venture for cap
italists, especially 4 it should taI
the mining districts.

A CENTENARIAN.
Mrs. Lily Green Of Flora Was 1O3 Years
Old.

Mrs. Lily Green, an aged colored
lady residing in the Afro American
settlement near Flora, west Of this
city, died last Saturday and was
buried on Monday. She was proba-
bly, 103 years of age, as she remem-
bered the War of 1912. and was quite
positive that she was II years of age
at that time.
Mrs. Green came with her hus-
band to the cOlored settlement in
1860, when the announcement of
war released many blacks from serv-
itude Although circumstances pre-
vented wide observation, she prob
ably witnessed more changes in the
world than is permitted most NOR
tails to behold. Born and held in
slavery until comparative old age,
she lived to witness the emancipa
ton of her race and their first feeble
efforts in the struggle for recogni-
ton as human beings.
Mrs. Green retained her physical
powers in a remarkable degree up
to within very short time of her
death.
Her son Hardy Green of Bloom
ington appears man of Is.

STORIES of the Week.

While in Chicago the other day |
dropped into a barber shop to get
shaved. Just as the artist was fin
ishing the man in q chair near where
was waiting, I noticed him put a
hot blanket over the fellows face
which stiffened out his lower limbs
and made him gasp for breath.
Before getting into the chair | in
quired of the barber what that meant
and he told me he was burning out
the roots SO as not to permit furth-
er growth. [ gave the darby who
had rubbed off my shoes a dime and
quit the shop, concluding not to
have the pin feathers on my face
pulled out in that way. Before
leaving the city I purchased three
top stories Of the Masonic temple to
be shipped here for my landlord, Ed
HYDE, who will place it on top Of the
Herald office to keep the rain out.
