NEED MONEY FOR ASURVEY
GENERAL ANDREWS SAYS ONLY
SCIENTIFIC ARTIFICIAL FOR
ESTATION WILL RESTORE FOR
EST AREAS.

General G. G. Andrews, chief fire war
den, says that if the legislature would
make an appropriation at once for the
improvement Of the 10000 acres recent
ly granted by the federal government
for reforestation, the forestry board
would contract now with a competent
forester, to start as soon as the snow is
off the ground and make the necessary
detailed survey, examination and forest
working plan for the proper treatment
of the land. Only the best methods
will be employed in the work. General
Andrews says:
I'VE sometimes hear it said that it
is unnecessary to reforest artifcially
any Of the waste, burnt-over and cut
over lands in northern Minnesota that
the country will reforest itself if forest
fires are prevented. That is only par
tally true. There are many bare places
that will not produce valuable timber
without sowing or planting. In Prus
STA, where state forestry is conducted or
large scale, 900 acres of state forest
lands are annuallyy reforested by arti
fetal sowing or planting; and twelve
European states annually sow or plant
artifcially 100000 acres of forest, or
an average. In some private forests
in Europe managed on scientific princi
| Piles and where forest fires are very ex
ceptional, only 20 per cent of the area
| becomes reforested naturally. Natura
forest is seldom, if ever, as well stocked
as that which has been artifcially sow
or planted.

THE ARMY'S BATH
HAS SAVED HIM
SEEKER FOR SUICIDAL DEATH
WAS TURNED ASIDE.
A Human Wreck Brought Into Harbor
at the Salvation Army Post, and
There Is Hope for It's Reclamation
It Had Foundered on the Social
GLASS; ~

A man has been saved from suicide
by the Salvation Army s free baths.
Last Thursday night, just as Captain
w. H. Gooding was clearing up his desk
before going to dinner, man came
into his office. His face was of blu
ish tint. his eyes Were wild and his
general appearance was nnkempt.
"You can see what is the matter
with me, can't youg" he asked the
captain. iS
ssTo tell the truth, I can w. replied
Captain Gooding.
The man then sat down and told
his story. His family IS identity he did
not wish to disclose, as they had done
everything that could be expected for
him, while he had brought nothing but
disgrace to their door. He had once
few years ago started to drink socially
and the habit grew until he lost his
position. The same thing happened
again. Finally he drifted into life
Of dissipation. He drifted lower and
lower and eventually landed in Mime
apolis. Here, he went on prolonged
spree, the worst Of his career.
Thursday morning he determined to
end his existence and secured some
ing-house and took the dose. Either
the liquor killed the poison or the
druggist had deceived him, as he ,did
not die, but lay violently i'll for twelve
hours. He then got up and started fol-
the river.
"When I passed the old city hall,
said he, 81 looked up and saw the sigr

could help anybody like me. I thought
of the river and the miserable death
ahead of me. Then I thought | woul,

perhaps some one might take an in

more.''
/ Captain Gooding provided the bath
and when the man came out he fount
clean clothes and a. warm welcome
awaiting him. The next day he turne,
in with the rest Of the force workin,
about the building, and now the mai

A canvass of representative Mime

Representative j. G. Lund Of this city
proposes to abolish by the bill he has
introduced in the legislature.
Bishop Isaac W. Joyce would favor
the proposed law. He said:

the most effective way to deal with the
criminal. The aim of government is sup
posed to be correction, reformation and

whatever for these. I sincerely doubt
