The generals who are leading the
Japanese armies against, Russia are
men who have proved their skill and
efficiency.
The first on the list in order of serv-
ice is Field. Marshal Yamagata. who
is not only first in rank, but easily first
in the esteem of the Japanese public
and in the judgment of the govern
ment. He is veteran of many wars,
having begun service in the struggle
that restored the emperor to power in
1868. In the following. year he visited
Russia and France studying things

est to the economic life of the entire
community is much deeper and more
far-reaching than anywhere else. The
preservation of the forest is not mere
ly question of continued supply of
timber in it's raw and manufactured
forms, but it is also a question OF con-
serving the water supply, upon which
agriculture and mining are directly,
and all other kinds of business indi-
rectly, dependent.
The New York Tribune thinks there
Is inspiration in the work to which
Clifford Pinchot has set his hand. He
is not only aiming to establish a for
estry system under which existing tim
Der belts shall yield their product for
ever in regular crops, but to make
trees spring into life where they have
been wantonly destroyed and even
where they have never grown within
the memory of living man.
A bill now pending III congress and
favorably reported in the house pro-
vides for the transfer of these reserves
to Mr.. Pinchot's bureau of forestry, in
which is to- be consolidated all the for
estry work of the government, now
divided among several bureaus.
But the government, looking to it's
present welfare, as we'll as to future
generations, will have to 70 further
even than this. The present practice,
under the timber and stone law, of
selling at $3.50 an acre timber lands
which are worth in many instances
$50 and even 500 an acre is likely
to give way to the placing of all the
public timber in the reserves, to be-
forever owned by the government, the
government forester to sell the timber
thereon, but under regulations which
will insure the perpetuation of the for
ests and prevent the denudation of FAST
areas and preserve water supplies. BY
selling government timber at it's real
market value the government would
obtain 81 100000 where it now receives
$1,000, under the operation of the TIM
Der and stone law. To this end mod
fication Of the desert land act, and the
enactment of a new timber and stone
act, whereby the government will be
authorized to sell timber at its actual
value, are to be attempted in bill
introduced by Senator Hansbrough.
The official statement OF the COM
missioner of the general land Office
that the government has lost in actual
cash between $1O0,000,000 and $115,-
100000 through the operation of the
timber and stone act will doubtless
be a powerful argument in favor of
the enactment of the new law. ~ ::

How 1t II Directed by Clifford Pinchot
Large Territory Under Govern
ment COntrol-Bad Laws to
be Repealed.

F1fty-three national forest reserves,
with the enormous area of 62,3o4, 1865
acres, represent the remarkable prog
ress OF the new science of conserving
one OF the greatest elements of our
national wealth. The directing force
behind this great development of the
country's economic life rests chiefly
In young man who, five years ago,
at the age of 80, became forester of the
United States, and at this rate, if
Clifford Pinch0t is permitted to devote
himself few years longer to the work
he has in hand, it's universally benefi-
cent influence can scarcely be lost for
the next thousand years.
Mr.. Pinchot was deliberately edu-
Gated for the career in which he is now
engaged. A native Of Connecticut, he
was graduated from Yale in 1889, and
then studied forestry in France, Ger
many, Switzerland and Austria. He
began his first systematic forest work
in Biltmore, N. c., in January, 1892,
on the estate of George w. Vanderbilt.
He also served as a member of the
national forest commission which
drew the boundaries of the Cleveland
forest reserves. He has been a large
contributor to the literature OF the
subject which supplies his lifework,
and has done much in this way to
bring it home to the popular COM
prehension. He became forester I'M
der the department of agriculture on
July l, 1898, and has gradually per-
fected the organization of a superb
wor king force of young men which
now covers the entire country. In the
south and the Adirondack region of
New York his plans for scientific lum-
bering and reforestation have been gen.
orally accepted by those engaged in
the industry.
It is in the great mountain regions
OF the west. however, that Mr.. Pinchot
finds his widest and most important
field. There the relation of the for

.SPOONER'S FAT FEE.
How Wisconsin Senator Made Three
Quarters of a Million. =
He Liked Baseball and That II why
He IL q Very Rich Man Now
A Good Story Even II
OveFdFawn.

Senator John c. Spooner, of Wiscon-
sin, is devoted to baseball, but there are
few men who have turned single ball
game to account to the tune of $3.50, O0O
But that's what he did once, according
to the Chicago Journal. AS he tells it,
he was sitting on fence, in the little
New England town where he spends his
summers, watching game, when for
tune came to him in the disguise of q
shabby man with hard-luck story.
Ordinarily the senator would not have
had time to listen to the hard-luck plea
but as he could watch the game and listen
simultaneously, he told the man to fire
away.
The stranger said he was passing
through town and wanted to interest the
senator, in his capacity of lawyer, in the
case of his sister, who was living in alb
ject poverty in Boston with several chill
dren dependent on her and no means for
support. He went on to explain that his
sister had married harkeeper of that
city, and that her husband had been very
successful and had finally become inter-
ested in number of hotels and that he
was a millionaire. With his change of
fortunes he had taken to dissipation, and
finally had abandoned his family and
was living with another woman who
claimed to be his wife.
Senator Spooner listened, but con-
fesses he was not much impressed with
the story. The stranger said neither he
nor his sister had any money to pay a
lawyer, but that they were anxious to
have Senator Spooner look after the
case, and urged that he take it on con-
tingent fee, which would be half of what
he could get for the abandoned wife.
The senator remarked that he would see
| about it, and took the address of the
woman in Boston, who was said to be
deserted, and thought little more about
1t.
1t CHANGED, however, that Senator
Spooner was in Boston short time after

War;
throes of a fierce civil war. The re-.
bellion was led by her greatest SOL
der, Field Marshal Saigo, who had
with him some $4,000 of her BEST
trained samurai. The government was
compelled to put forth its greatest
strength. An imperial prince was ap-
pointed to the nominal command, int
as chief of staff Yamagata was the
real general in chief and led the forces
which crushed the rebellion.
When war started with China in 1894
Yamagata was Immediately given COM
mand of the first army that invaded
Manchuria. Those who were with the
army at the time describe the immense
enthusiasm with which his coming
was greeted by his soldiers.
After the war Yamagata was made a
marquis and the new military rank of
field marshal was established to which
he was promoted. The active inter-
ference of Russia, which deprived ia
pan of the fruits of victory, led the
government to try to come to some
understanding that would preserve the
independence of Corea Yamagata was
appointed special ambassador for this!
purpose and proceeded to St. Peters,
burg, where he effected the treaty
which is the basis of Japan's latest de-
mands upon Russia. Not trusting al
together to this, japan proceeded to
double her army and greatly increase
her navy. Several officers were pro-
noted to the rank of field marshal in
the army and an equal rank in the
navy and organized into supreme
council of war
OF this Yamagata was made chief, a
position which he still holds. Consid-
ering the season of the year and the
fact that he is over 65 years old and
rather frail physically, it is improbable
that he will take the field in person,
but in any case he will occupy much
the same place in this war that Won
Moltke did in the Franco Prussian war.

A German inventor has decided that
many persons come to their death
through drowning at sea, even though
they are able to swim or are prevented
from sinking by the wearing of life belts.
He maintains that the deaths are due to

to the victim. To eliminate this danger
he has invented 4 life-saving mask, pref

The senator's position is such that he

friends it is considered that he is as
much in the race as though he had come

Fairbanks will be nominated for vice

this, and, discovering that there was to
be good ball game in the afternoon, de-
cided to stay over until the day follow
ing. This resulted in his having the
early part of the afternoon on his hands,
and, remembering the address and the
hard luck story, he decided to satisfy his
curiosity by visit to the woman. He
found her, in the greatest poverty as de-
scribed, and saw evidences to confirm
the allegations of the stranger.
On his way home he stopped in Chi
cago and enlisted the services of law
yer friend there to look up the husband,
whom he now heard had recently died.
In his interview with the wife she as
sured him that all she wanted was q
bare living, enough to keep OF want
from herself and children. In a day or
two he had telegram from the Chicago
attorney saying to come at once, that all
the statements made were true, and that
a settlement ought to be attempted at
once.
A trip was made to Boston. Wife No.
2, who had inherited the fortune, learned
with amazement of the existence of a
previous wife and her lawyers were
equally astonished. But evidence was
plentiful and brief investigation led to
settlement, by which the s.. OO0, 900 es-
tate-for that is what it scheduled-was
equally divided.
And Senator Spo6ner took ais his fee

throne since his 18th year. He is of
dynasty described in the Japanese
constitution as "a line of emperors I'M.

hesitate to reckon his ancestry back
beyond the Gays of early Rome. Such
