The Dangers of the City. These
grow out of several factors. The cos

city makes vice and crime easy and

the social and moral life of the city.
The Influence of the City. The In.

commercial way. To conserve this

DR.. Jefferson, whose church in the
heart of New York Is doing such
noble work says that IF Christianity
fails In the city IL fails everywhere.
The world has no use for religion
that fails at the most important point,
and that is the city. The city is like
heart pumping poison through the

DR.. Parkhurst says that il is a very
important point IN illumination to put

great aqua-marine, found in Stoneham,
and probably the most valuable gem
ever found on the American continent,

Durum Wheat.

wherever there is an annual
rain fall of 10 inches, durum wheat
will yield paying crops" says Pro-
fessor A. F. Woods Of the bureau OF
plant industry at Washington.
The introduction of this plant has
extended the wheat growing area
to hundreds Of thousands of acres
that heretofore have been thought
unsuited to grain growing.
Another important feature Of
durum wheat is it's rust resisting
powers; where ordinary wheat was
almost ruined last year by rust,
durum was hardly touched.
The millers are learning how to
handle this wheat, and the quality
OF bread made from 1t is excellent,
1t yields several more bushels per
acre than the ordinary spring
wheat, and we expect to see it
grown all over the spring wheat
section very extensively"

creation Of number Of large forest
reserves in Idaho aid other west
ern states.
I'm the administration Of the
forest reserves it must be clearly
borne in mind that all land is to
be devoted to its most productive
use for the permanent good Of the
whole people and not for the tenn
porary benefit Of individuals or
companies. All the resources Of
forest reserves are for Use, and this
use must be brought about in a
thoroughly prompt and business
like manner, under such Festric-
tions only as will insure the per-
.nanence Of these resources. The
vital importance of forest reserves
to the great industries Of the West
ern States will be largely increased
in the near future by the continued
steady advance in settlement and
development. The permanence Of.
the resources of the reserves is
therefore indispensable to contin-
ued prosperity, and the policy Of
this Department for their protec-
ton and use will inva riably be
guided by this fact, always bearing
IN mind that the Conservative Use
of these resources in no way con-
fliets with their permanent value.
You will see to it that the water,
wood and forage Of the reserves are
conserved and wisely used for the
benefit Of the home builder first of
all; upon whom depends the best
permanent use Of lands and re-
sources alike. The continued pros
perity Of the agricultural, lumber
ing. mining and livestock interests
is directly dependent upon a per-
manent and accessible supply Of
water, wood and forage, as we'll as
upon the present and future use of
these resources under businesslike
regulations, enforced with prompt
ness, effectiveness and common
sense. In the management Of each
reserve local questions will be de
cided upon local grounds, the dom.
inant industry will be considered
6rst, but with as little restriction
to minor industries as may be pos
sible; sudden changes in industrial
conditions will be avoided by grad
ual adjustment after due notice;
and where. conflicting interests
must be reconciled, the question
will always be decided from the
standpoint Of the greatest good Of
the greatest number in the long
run.
These general principles will
govern in the protection and use Of
the water supply, in the disposal Of
timber and wood, in the use Of the
range, and in all other matters con-
nected with the management Of the
reserves. They can be successfully
applied only when the administra-
tion Of each reserve IS left very
Largely 10 the hands Of local of
fcers, under the eye Of thoroughly
trained and competent inspectors.
Very respectfully,
JAMES WILSON.
