The scarcity of Timber

The increasing scarcity of timber is
 a subject that is more. and more en-
 gazing the attention of arboricultur- ists. irrigation experts. and the lumber
 trade IT. is one in which the general
 public. too, should be interested. for
 considering only the public pocket
 book. it must be realized that while
 the demand for all grades and vari-
 cites of timber is steadily increasing.
 the supply is as steadily diminishing Another aspect of the case is the eff
 feet which the denudatiOn of western timber lands is producing on the wat
 CT supply. Just now when it is desir- able that the entire rainfall should be conserved for irrigation purposes the government engineers find that the amount of available water is gradually growing less, owing to the barren con dition of mountain areas which few years ago were densely wooded.
 A few days ago MT. John P. Brown, editor of Horticulture and a we'll known specialist in forest preserva- tion. expressed to the Colorado Springs Gazette the opinion. which is also held by experts of the government forestry bureau, that at the present rate of consumption the forests of the United States will not last twenty years. The cost of all kinds of build ing lumber has advanced at a surpris- ing rate in the last decade, until in many places it is now cheaper to build houses of stone or brick than of wood.
 The railroads use a prodigious amount of timber for ties, poles and construction work, the value being about s1OO. 100000 worth a year. No satisfactory substitute for wood tie has been produced. nor is it likely to be, for one of the first requisites to a good tie is elasticity, which is lack ing in metal ties. The cost of ties has advanced so rapidly of late. owing to the scarcity of timber, that some of the largest railroad companies are now planting their own timber. In 1903 the Pennsylvania. system set out 50, 900 locust trees, and in 1904, 2OS,- 900. This year the company expects to plant 800,O 900 trees, but as it takes about thirty years for these trees to mature sufficiently for use as ties the railroad will have to get along as best l

sometimes there is a good deal of precipitation.
 "The duration of the sleep varies slightly with different subjects; it av- erages four or five hours after the operation Cor nine or ten hours in alp.
 'The awakening takes place exactly as in ordinary sleep. The patient opens his eyes. and his face expresses astonishment at finding himself in bed. He tries to get his ideas to- gether and asks questions of those about him, wanting to know whether the operation has yet taken place; generally he calls for a drink and then goes to sleep again for sev- eral hours. Sometimes he stays awake and wants something to eat. Several have refused to believe that they had been operated upon
 "On the morrow, the patient eats in his customary manner and follows with appetite the regimen demanded by the operation that he has under gone.
 ''Finally-and this is an important point none of those operated upon remember anything of the operation or of it's pain. even when they have ap- peared sensitive during its progress; and this fact is the more striking be- cause some patients have appeared to completely awake through the opera tion, speaking and complaining as if they had received no anesthetic."
 If even the half of the story is true the effect of scopolamin will be to ob- viate one of the greatest terrors of the operating table. With the evil effects of chloroform and ether done away with the shock to the patient upon whom the operation is performed must necessarily be greatly decreased and his chances for recoverT cores improved.

it can in the interval The Illinois Central and one or two other roads are also planting trees for the same purpose.
 It is plain that the only hope of the lumber trade is in the wholesale refor- estation of denuded timber lands. and this plan will have to be followed also in the mountainous regions of the west where it is desirable to preserve the water supply for irrigation use.

A New Anesfhetic

French physicians are experiment. ing with a new anesthetic which they call "scopolamin," with the most sat isfactory results, if reports that come from Paris may be believed. It has several great advantages over chIoro- form and ether. Principal among these are the absolute avoidance of the sometimes fatal results from the use of cnloroform and the bad after ef- fleets of ether. Scopolamin is mixed with morphine and the patient is giv- en three hypodermic injections. 4 writer in Cosmos says:
 Tt is very important to note that no matter how deep the sleep may be. if the patient be shaken or spoken to loudly and insistently, or if a noise is made near him, he will awake pre- cisely like a man in a natural sleep. But if he is pricked or pinched he shows not the slightest sensitiveness. This complete anesthesia, with persis- tence of the intellectual functions. is particularly striking with scopolamin, which seems to act exclusively on the sensitive fbers.
 After the operation. the patient is placed in his bed (where) he contin- ues to sleep as calmly as before it; the breathing is very quiet. and not the least complaint is heard, though

The Warnings of Lord Roberts

When the Boer war came. the world
 wondered at the unpreparedness of the
 British army. It was only few
 months since i- had read articles from the pens of British military ex- perts to the effect that America had done well in Cuba but that the eie- ment of luck had been with her;
 that her soldiers were a good deal of a rabble, were slouchy and would stand very little show" against the armies of England or of the continent. The world recalls now Great Britain tackled her South African propositions with fuss and feather. and didn't win out until the "slouchiness" of the American boys in broad -brimmed hats had been emuIated-
 Great Britain has learned her les son" the world said; this war Is worth all it cost her" But here comes Lord Roberts. now field marshal tell ing the house of lords that England has forgotten her lesson. The echoes of the war have not died away; the investigation of official corruption has hardly begun. when this blunt soldier rises in his place to say that the em- p.res military force is inadequate. inn perfectly trained and totally unfit to uphold the dignity of a first class power He was provoked into saying this by the jaunty optimism of Pre- mier Balfour, who had told the Britons that their island was quite safe from invasion. The old field marshal has no grudge against the government; the fault. as he sees it rests wholly with the people them selves. They are devoid of true na- tiOnal feeling, he says, as long as dan ger doesn't actually threaten. When that occurs. Tommy Atkins suddenly becomes the most important man liv- ing, and his praises are sung in the music halls, and nothing is too good for him. The danger passed, the ef- fervescent patriotism goes with it.
 To Lord Roberts this happy-go- lucky indifference and improvidence between wars is a trifing with the fate of a. country which has remote possessions to defend and should al- ways be ready to meet trouble at home. He tells Great Britain that its safety requires a very much larger army-an army as fit as that of any nation in Europe, and all the conti- mental nations are now nations in arms.
 Tn earlier days Lord Roberts was spoken of-sometimes in all serious ness and sometimes with levity-as ! England's only general. He is today 1 the older of England's really famous | generals. Lord Kitchener being the . other. There's a matter of eighteen years between them. On military questions Lord Roberts speaks with authority. He has now said in the plainest words that. as things are, neither the empire nor England itself is safe; that the army as at present constituted and recruited. is a brok- en reed; and that, if the idea of con- scription be rejected as un-English, the alternative is a system of military ducation-universaI and compulsory which in time shall make every able bodied young EngIishman immediately available for soldering when the emergency arrives Probably the vet eran field marshal is talking to deaf ears; if so, these counsels and warn ings of his will one day be remem- bered

HOPING FOR AN ARMISTICE
Russia Ready to Suspend HOstilities if

UnsuccessfuI.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4-l:S0 p. M
With the completion of the arrangements
for the Washington peace meeting Presi-
dent Roosevelt has resumed his efforts to
bring about an armistiee. No light is
thrown on the exact status Of the negoti-
atoms and the character of the cOmmunica-
tons passing between the Russian and
japanese and Washington governments.
The matter is a delicate one, but the out
look for success from all information OBJ
tainable is not unpromising II Japan is
ready to sheath the sword until the Wash
ington meeting develops whether a basis
for peace Is possible. Russia's consent
seems assured. In diplomatic circles II
Is felt that Great Britain could render
service by timely advice to its ally, but
so far as known England is not supporting
President ROosevelt's efforts. Should the
president be able to successfully arrange
the preliminaries It appears certain thai
actual negotiations for an armistice will
be concluded directly between Field Mar
shall Oyama and General Linevitch on the
battlefield in Manchuria.

which were swept away, those OF Dr. Law
cry, Boguss Fathieson and a number of
others were wrecked so that they will have
to be rebuilt, and the contents are ruined.
The steel bridge across Bad River was car
ried out and sunk In the main channel of
the Missouri about 100 yards below the
mouth of Bad river. While It is not certain
that any lives were lost, several parties
are missing and have not been located up
to the present time, but as many people
are camped in tents on the bluffs south of
the torrent, the missing may be among
them. There is no communication except
by boat down the Missouri. On the north
side of the river a number of business
places were flooded by the Missouri and
Bad rivers, the losses being principally to
merchants with stocks in Easements. The
loss up the Bad river valley must be heavy,
but the roads are In such condition from
swollen streams that no reports have yet
come in. II is the worst flood ever known
on that stream, the oldest residents of Fort
Pierre falling to recall anything which
equaled 1t. Both rivers are falling at pres
ent, and it is hoped that the worst is over

up the stream indicate heavy damage for
miles. One family drifted down the stream
in floating house for about ten miles
before IL lodged and they were taken out
in boats Just a short distance from the
Missouri.

With the torrent coming down practically
half the citizens OF Fort Pierre are without
