Cutting Of the Young Trees Reduces
Water Supply.

Colorado Springs has taken a stand
against the Christmas tree, which should
interest the whole world. At the present
time the United States government
through the forestry department, is re-
planting the entire southern slope at
Pixies peak with native trees Statistics
gathered by the chamber of commerce of
Colorado Springs showed that over 100,-
600 evergreen trees were used yearly in
the state of Colorado for the Yuletide eel
ebration, and 5000 in the city. The age of
the trees cut for use all over the world
varies from Is to 25 years.
The effect of the annual removal of 100,-
600 young trees, or the covering of 500
acres, is of vast importance to the water
supply. 1t is more than probable that the
removal of these 100, 900 trees means an
annual reduction of from seven to 10
cubic feet of the conserved water supply,
which, from a commercial standpoint, is
worth much more than the selling value
of the trees.
The campaign started resulted in nu-
merous families sending East for arti-
fically manufactured trees. The small
forests close to the city of Colorado
Springs were afforded police protection
before Christmas.-[C Colorado Springs de-
spatch to Boston Herald.

Divorce in Canada.

Canada has solved the divorce prob
lem by the requirement that absolute di-
vorces shall be obtained by legislation in
troduced in the dominion senate, and
must be based on srriptural grounds
Provinces which had al divorce court be-
fore the confederation In 1867 have a di-
vorce court now but slch Provinces are
not populous, containing about sixth
of the population of the Dominion Di-
vorces in the other provinces are OBJ
tainable only from the Canadian parli-
ament. George c. Holland, for many years
the official reporter OF that body. says in
an interview published in the Indianap-
oils News that on an average parliament
has granted about hve divorces a year
that the Canadian law is stringent be
cause of the opposition Of the Church of
Rome, the Anglican church and other
Protestant churches TO divorce under any
circumstances. This, however, does not
wholly explain the small number Of di-
Vorces granted in Canada. In many cases
Canadians find it convenient to cross the
border and procure divorces in the United
States. Few divorces are granted even
in the provinces where the courts have
jurisdiction, and of thc4t 600 600 Of peo-
pie in the country only about ten couples

The forthcoming report of the state
bank commissioner for Iowa will be the
most sensational of it's kind ever publish
cd. 1t will show for the year almost 40
bank failures in Iowa, with losses of over
$12 900. 900, and that eight bank officials
have taken their own lives when the crash
was inevitable. In addition. a list of a
half dozen cases of defalcations, which did
not lead to failures. because the losses
were promptly made good, is discussed
The defalcations and forgeries chiefly
represent losses by speculations on the
board of trade of New York's stock ex-
change. The other Vases are attributed
after careful investigation. almost with
out exception. to the work of the beef
trust, whose control Of prices has wrought
havoc among the stock men of the West.
The banks failing were almost all found
to hold great amounts of the paper of
cattle raisers and feeders who had been
carried while they prepared their stock
for market AS result of trust control
of prices, the figures realized when the
stock was marketed were so low that bor-
rowers could not MAKE good their loans.
the banks found themselves caught in
numerous similar transactious ana the re-
suit was failure.
With only one exception the bankers
who took their lives held large amounts
of overdue cattle paper This pointed out
that the trust was manifesty responsible
because it forced downward the price of
| live stock at the same time that it raised
| the price of meat TO consumers The
