THE GROWTH
OF FORESTRY
Excellent Work Of Loca!
Department is Re-
sponsibIe.

y chdl py an Advertiser man with
Territorial Forester Hosmer, Yesterday
revealed the fact that the good work of
forestry is proceeding apace in the Ter
ritory.
The primal work of the department.
is, of course, the creation of forest ,e.

procuration and cooperation with pri-
vate owners.
The area of reserves. Prof. Hosmer
stated, would shortly be greatly in
creased. The public hearing for the
proposed presentations on Kauai and
Maui is set for Wednesday next. The
land on Maui is in the Koolau district
and in the Halelea district on Kauai
the area in each case being approx
mately 10000 acres.
On July "a arrangements were con-
summated whereby 10000 acres in the
Hilo district of Hawaii were set apart
as forest reserves, 12.771 acres of this
actually being government land
Prof. Hosmer said that plans We're
we'll along towardHthe reservation of a
large section of the EVA basin, both
on the slope of the Koolau mountains
and the Waianae hills. This forest
land practically stretches from the
back of the Honolulu plantation to the
land above Waialua plantation A good
deal of this great tract of land has
been protected for a number of years
by the Bishop Estate.
Another reservation on Oahu is at
Kaipapau, beyond Kahuku, which ag-
gregates 913 acres.
With all this projected area an ac-
tual reserve, the territory will be in

be saved for streams and irrigation
bitches. A forest cover means that
rainwater will gradually seep into the
ground in a way that will do the most
good and that waste of water ana ero-
sion will be appreciably curtaied. BY
this means both surface and artesian
supplies of water may be maintained.
Forester Hosmer's duties are many
and important. He has to examine the
land destined to be set aside and report
to the Board preliminary to a public
get in touch with all the conditions
and to secure the cooperation of own

Another important branch of the de-
partment is the introduction of new and
imported trees into the territory and
the planting of waste and barren
places with them.
Owing to lack of funds much of this
work of the Division of Forestry is
done through the cooperation of pri-
vate owners who are furnished assis-
lance and advice in planting and who

SPORTING NEWS.
In List of Light Weight Fighters
Dane Us Tallest.
Nelson's Real Height Is Five In
ches More Than Given.
HAS SHADE ON BRITT.
Also Looms Up Over Young Cor
bett and Cans.
Britt and Nelson Would Make a
Great Battle.
HAS SHADE ON BRITT.

Chicago, March 10.-The News says:
Since Battling Nelson has twice defeat
ed Young Corbett decisively and is
again the most formidable of James
Edward Britt's rivals the disputes over
the physical make-ups of the men have
been going on The average record will
give Nelson's height as feet "a inches.
Following this out there came the in
sfstent report that Young Corbett rang
ed about feet 4, though some records
gave him 5 feet 2, referring possibly
to the fighting-shoe pose. On the other
hand fashlight photographs of Nelson
and Young Corbett in the ring show
the Dane looming up over his oppoennt
apparently by half a head. This same
picture gives Young Corbett the stocky
build, inclined to fat.
Ted Murphy, Nelson's former man
ager, declares that Nelson stands feet
w inches in his ring shoes or the gym
nasium shoe, and that he is a half-inch
taller than Britt. This gives the best
idea of Nelson's range and reach cor
responding to height and will explain
one big advantage he has had over
Young COrbett. 1t should, it is thought,
also put him on even terms at least
with Britt. Joe Cans is now credited
with height of feet 7 inches. This,
then, makes Nelson the tallest of the
men directly in the limelight as claim
ant for the lightweight honors now held
by Cans.
Considering Nelson's physical make
up-the tall, rangy type-and his fight
ing methods, he bids fair to work his
way into the championship as Kid Law
igne did and will suffer the same fate
of falling before clever men which time
viii bring up when Nelson begins to
go back. Cans, who can hardly make
the light weight and be strong, is APP
parently the only one in the way of
Britt. Britt's tactics in the Nelson fight
and the showing made them put him
pretty close to Nelson in the fighting
game A fight between the two would
mean that the referees handling of it
would decide it one way or the other.
Benny Yanger has decided that he
does not need a manager and has sud
denly called off his deal with Ted Muir
ply. Murphy had several matches in
view for the little Chicagoan and will
abandon them

HARD PRACTICE FOR CUBS.
Two Squads to Clash on Diamond
Chance and MCCARTHY CAPTAINS.

Santa Monica. Cal, March To-
Hard practice is on. for the Cubs to
day. The men are anxious for the
work, too. as they1 are eager to be in
the best possible Shape for the game
between McCartay's team and
Chances nine. 1t is hardly likely
that Manager Selee will have the men
out for more than one workout a day
until later.
A dance was given at the hotel for
the ball team last night. Before the
dancing began billiard match was
played between Mrs. Chance and Mrs
Selee on one side and Mrs Weimer
and Mrs. Killing on the other. The
teams began play right after dinner
the game being a 10-point match,
but as dancing started at $3.50 o'clock
the last half of the game had to be
postponed until tonight.
Nearly all the men have got over
their lameness. Manager SeIee is
perfectly satisfied with the progress
the squad has made so far. There is
plenty of time here to round the men
into the pink of condition and the
weather can always be depended
upon.
This is the last week the squad will
be here and every man will make
the most of the opportunities for fish
ing and bathing before he leaves. A
sailing excursion is being planned by
a number of the players for tomor-
row. If the weather is fair some ten
of them will go out on the ocean and
take a chance at seasickness.
MitchelFs hand is in good shape,
and both Evers' and MaIoney's in
jured fingers are doing nicely.

Nicoll here. who is IL years of age,
and is wanted for running away from
his home at Council Bluffs, Iowa, to
keep from attending school. He was
accompanied by Art S. Langstrorn,
who went to jail rather than leave his
comrade. Nicoll was a student in the
Council Bluffs high school, and was

and this was his reason for running
away. His father is day sergeant Of

Before Probate Judge Johnson yes

retired soldier drawing d pension of
SAG for the loss of his right arm, was
adjudged insane. McPeek was at one
time a physician, but gave up his
practice and entered the army serv-
ing in company A. First Minnesota in
fantry volunteers, and later in the reg
ular army. He was born in Olnstead
county Minnesota, but came to Leav-
enworth some months ago. He first
showed symptoms of insanity May
%, 1904, when he attacked DR.. G. c.
Goddard who was called to examine
him. He was then placed in the
county Jail where he has been for the
past eight months.
AIcPeek is a very intelligent man
and during his trial yesterday was
quite rational and none but experts
could have discerned that he was
mentally unbalanced. He asked that
a guardian be appointed to take care
of him and otherwise proved himself
a very sensible fellow.-Leavenwo

Paper of Interest to Topeka
Residents.

One of the best known newspapers
in the south is the Guide of Dunn.
N. c. Its publisher, J. p. Pitman, sends
us the following clipping with request
to publish:
'.Found,-by the editor of the Guide
a bottle of. Hyomei, the wonderful
treatment that cures catarrh without
stomach dosing. We can speak in high
est praise Of it's remarkable power to
cure and relieve catarrh of the head
and throat This mention is made not
as an advertisement, but in the inter-
est of those who suffer the torture of
that terrible disease, catarrh.''
In sending the clipping Mr. Pitman
wrote the following letter:
CT incIose a little piece from my pa
per. issued today You will see from
this that desire to push the selling Of
Hyomei as far as possible. I am using
it in my own family, and find that it
gives the desired relief, SO that / take
pleasure in spreading far and near the
knowledge of this sure relief for ca
tarrh.''
Rowley & Snow, 600 Kansas avenue
in preparation for the catarrhal trou-
bles Of this season of the year, have
ordered a large stock of Hyomei, and
sell it under guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve. The COM
plete outfit costs but 81, and extra bot
ties can be obtained for so cents. Ask
them to show you the strong guarantee
under which they sell it. This remark
able remedy medicates the air you
breathe, soothing and healing the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages, and

TROUBLES OF CATCHERs.
O'Connor Says Spit Bali VIII Worry
the Most.

ST. Louis, March 10.-Jack Powell,
one of Griffith's main reIiances in the
race for the American league pennant
this season, will not let business in
terfere with duty. President Frank
Farrell yesterday notified Powell to
report at Montgomery, Ala, as soon
after March IL as he could. Powell
stated that he would leave st. Louis
Sunday. Powell has been detained in
the city, concluding arrangements for
opening his thirst emporium. The
formaIities will take place today. One
of the nice things that President Far
him a check for 500 'sas an opener"
Farrell treated the firm of O'Connor
and Powell as few club owners would
have done in this respect.
O'Connor is still in the city and
SAYS he has received no word from
Manager McAleer relative to report
ing:
ing departments of all baseball teams
in the country this year." said King
O'Connor. Green catchers will be all
at sea this year, for you can gam Die
that every pitcher, in both the big
leagues, will be trying to work the
spit ball. This is a thing that not a
pitcher in the country can control
with any certainty, CHESHIRE notwith-
standing.
This ball is a tough proposition It
may either drop straight down or may
be an out or an in drop; it will be
drop in any case But which way it
is going, defy any pitcher to state
before he pitches.
ct predict that before the season is
over the pitchers will be doing most
of the signing for curves, when this
shoot is in question. All the catcher
can do when he knows it is coming, is
to be prepared for anything, and then
do the best he can with it. leave it
to any one if this is a nice condition
for minor league catchers breaking
into big league company"
