WOOOMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.
A Visit From the State Forestry
superintendent

On last Wednesday, +. NJ Griffith.
the agent of the State Forestry COM
mission, visited our city to look over
the local situation, and to meet such of
our lumbermeL, paper mill men and
public spirited men as are interested in
the preservation of our forests, and in
utilizing them to the best advantage
The state of Wisconsin is to be con-
graduated upon having secured,
through the Forestry commission, so
practical and competent superinten-
dent as Mr. Griffith, who has not only
been in the service of the U s. govern
ment forestry bureau for decade but
has also studied the problems of for
estry in Germany, where such excellent
results are being obtained.
At half past one on Wednesday after
noon Supt Griffith gave talk to the
high school pupils on the practical
phases of forestry. He explained how
the forest fires were due first TO the
neglect of the lumbermen in leaving
the slashings in the woods instead of
carefully destroying them, and secondly
to the carelessness of farmers or hunt
ers in not extinguishing fires used in
burning brush heaps or in cooking
Supt. Griffith believes that there should
be fire wardens whose duty it would be
to see that no fires were started in dry
periods, except under proper condi-
tions, and to look after the extinguish-
ing of all dangerous fires in the woods.
The vast amount of acreage in Wis
consin that is not likely to be good for
anything else but raising trees was then
dwelt on by the speaker. If a high
school boy or girl would buy some of
the cheap, cut-oyer lands and plant them
with white pine and spruce, placing
the white pine trees eight feet apart
and planting the young spruce at the
middle of the squares thus formed, the
pupil would have, in twenty years, an
annual income of at least $1,000 per
acre from the forest that would result,
while 100 acres would insure a good
living. In practical forestry as much
depends upon the manner of cutting
the timber as in the method of planting.
Only the largest and oldest trees should
ever be left on the ground on account
of the danger from fire.
1t is amazing to learn that Germany,
with her small area and large popnla
ton, has so conserved her forests by
practical forestry that she is growing
white pine for export. This should be
lesson to our lumbermen 1t is not
right.to skin the state of its forest wealth
and leave nothing behind but desolate,
barren waste. The lumberman has a
dnty to perform by the state in which he
accamulates his princely fortune.

NEXT MUM Der.

The Central Grand Concert company,
the fifth number on the Y. NJ {. A.
course of entertainments, but really
only the fourth to appear here, on ac-
count of the postponement of the c. b.
Lands lecture, will be at the opera
house Wednesday evening, March 9th.
The company comes highly recon-
mended and will no doubt furnish pat
rons of the course an evening of rare
amusement. There are three people in
the east and of them we copy the follow
ing clippings from other papers:
The most successful soloist of the
evening was MIR. Champion, who made
his first appearance here. He possesses
every requisite of the great singer, n
voice of remarkable beauty, excellent
style and enunciation, and a dramatic
power and intensity which is fully
EQUAL 70 that of any vocalist who has
appeared here for ars.-Newcastle
Chronicle.
Next TO the trained human voice, the
grandest of all instruments, comes the
violin perhaps in its power To touch the
emotions, and this is more especially
true when played divinely. as it was
last evening bv Miss Pringle le.-Chatham

Mrs. Guyer-George has . wonderful
voice and sings with ease. Her voice is
entirely her own, and its power lies in
its pure, rich and flowing tones The
glorious tones at times filled the vast

they laid out, is upon the common
corners of these sections; Il was for
mally decided to the territory by the
owners in a document dated Mineral
Point, January l6. 1889, and still pre-
served in the state archives The pros
pective town was called Madison, from
the fourth President of the United States
The first house was built in Madison in
the spring of 1887 In June, work was
commenced upon the capitol; its cor
ner stone was laid with appropriate
ceremonies upon July 4.
The Legislature met for the first time
IN Madison, >oyenber 26, 1888 The
capitol was not then in a suitable eondi-
ton for the sessions, which were held
in the basement of the old American
house. where Gov. Dodge delivered his
annual message Here the Legislature
met and adjourned from day to day, un-
tll temporary arrangements could be
the Assembly hall. During 1896 and
1887, the national government appro
priated $4,000 for the capitol. Dane
county 81 900, and the territorial Legis-
lature about $4,000, making the com
piete cost of the old capitol 100000 The
building, when finished, was a substan-
tial structure, which in architectural
design and convenience of arrange
ments, at the time compared favorably
with capitols of adjacent ana older
states.
The capitol proving inadequate to the
growing wants of the state, the Legisla-
ture of 1857 provided for its enlarge
ment. By this act, the commissioners
of school and university lands were di-
rected to sell the ten sections of land
appropriated by Congress for the COM
pletion of public buildings" and apply
the proceeds toward enlarging and I'M
proving the capitol The state also APP
propriated $50, 900 for the same object
and S50, 900 was given by the city of
Madison. The work was begun in the
fall of 1857, and continued from year to
year until 1869, when the dome (the
most satisfactory portion of the struct-
ure) was completed.
The Legislature of 1882 appropriated
$500, 900 for the construction OF two
transverse wings to the capitol, one on
the north and the other on the south
sides thereof, in order to provide addI-
tional room for the State Historical
society, the supreme court, the state
library, and for the increasing staffs of
the state offices. November s, 1888,
the south wing fell while in process of
.constrnction, an accident which led to
the death of eight workmen The
height of the building from the base
ment to the top of the flagstaff is 2254ft
while the total length from north to
south exclusive of steps and porticoes)
is 1876 feet, and from east to west, 226
feet The total appropriations for the
enlargement of the capitol and for the
improvement of the park to the pres
ent time are about 5000, 900
The capitol park is GA feet square,
cornering on the cardinal points of the
compass, contains IA acres, and is
handsomely situated on an elevation
commanding a view of Lakes Monona
and Mendoza, and the urrounding
-Four Lake country In the center of
this square stands the capitol. Reuben
