The Former Nebraska Senator Says
Preservation and Planting Of Trees
lie Paramount Issue Of the Present
Time.

WASHINGTON President Roose.
welt was the principal speaker at a
special session of the American For
est Congress held Thursday at the
National theater. The president, aC-
companied by Secretary Loeb, arrived
at the theater promptly at o'clock.
He was escorted to the stage entrance
and as he appeared before the i'm
mense audience, which filled every
part Of the house, the people received
him standing. while the theater rang
with applause and the orchestra play
ed patriotic air.
President Howard Elliott Of the
Northern Pacific presided at the morn
ing session. The board of directors re-
ported action looking to the creation
of an advisory board of the forest
congress, to consist of representatives
Of various industrial bodies and to
meet annually in Washington.
Charles F. Henderson, general soil
citor of the Chicago, Burlington G.
Quincy and former United States SEN
ator from Nebraska, characterized the
preservation of the timber industry
of the country as "the paramount is
sue" and urged the planting and hus.
banding of timber wherever trees can
be grown. He spoke of the enormous
demands for ties. "Of the ties now on
the railroad tracks of the country" he
said, 40 per cent have to be replaced
annually; their average cost is so
cents, making an annual expenditure
for this purpose of s45 600, 900, which
is exclusive of the labor employed and
the cost of local transportation. No
feasible substitute has been found for
the wooden tie" He urged the sub
jugation of private rights to public
necessity, the study of means for elm
and the repeal of the timber and stone
land sale act Other addresses were
made by ]. T. Richards, chief ENGINEER
maintenance of way, Pennsylvania
railroad; President l.. z. Johnson of
the Norfolk & Western railroad and
Herman Won Schrenk of the Bureau of
Forestry The latter detailed the good
results already announced in the pres
ervative treatment of railroad tim
bers to prolong their durability.
Mr.. Won Schrenk also gave some
facts adduced in recent experiments
by the government, showing that, con-
trary to many reports, the injection of
creosote into wood brings about no
brittle and weakened condition of the
wood. Secretary Of the Navy Morton
was expected to make an address on
the dependence of the railroads on
forest preservation, but was unable to
attend.

is square against Kinkaids bill extend
ing the time for settlement under the
bill which become a law at the last
session of congress.
Il desire my friends to know" said
Judge Kinkaid, that after having
labOred most earnestly with the secre-
tary of the interior and commissioner
of the general land office, that there is
no possibility for the passage of the
measure which / had hoped might eX-
tend the time in which settlers could

WAR WILL co ON
NO GOVERNMENT FRIENDLY TO
RUSSIA CAN ADVISE.
PREPARE FOR SPRING CAMPAIGN
kouropatkin viii Have 100000 Men at
His Command by that Tlme.-Jap-
anese Take Many Prisoners.-25,o 900
Are Surrendered at Fall of Port
Arthur.

BERLIN-The highest diplomatic
opinion here is that the surrender OF
Port Arthur makes it impossible for
any government friendly to Russia TO
advise peace or to unite with any other
government for mediation. The feel
ing at the Russian court, it is assert
ed here. is so absolutely for continuing
the war that probably not one person
who has access to the emperor Of
Russia could be found who, even pri
vately favors Russia accepting defeat.
German military opinion, while ack-
nowledging the large moral effect OF
the fall Of Port Arthur, inspiring the
Japanese and depressing the Russians,
regards ii as only an incident and as
having little relation to the immense
field operations that will begin in the
spring. General Kouropatkin, it Is as
serted in official circles, has 100000
troops east of Baikal, of which more
than 100000 are already gathered at
Mukden. 1t is impossible, the German
military men aver, for the Russians
to cease fighting with that army in
being, which by spring, they add, is
likely to number all told 100000 men.
The japanese, being full informed of
Russias preparations, are putting
forth every resource to surpass them.
Field operations of a magnitude not
before seen in the war 1t is believed
will begin in few weeks.
PARASITIC official view here con-
tinues to regard mediation between
Russia and Japan as impracticable
The Temps, semiofficially, in a lead
ing article says:
Russia will not consider mediation at
moment when it's self-esteem is suf-
fering from the deepest wound, and
will continue playing its strongest
card, namely, the concentration of an
overwhelming force under General
kouropatllin.
The same opinion is held at the
Foreign office and at the Russian
embassy.
TOKIO-The Japanese captured
$4,000 prisoners at Port Arthur. The
total number of the inhabitants is
$4,000 of whom 10000 are sick.
General Nogi reports to the army
department that on January the COM
missioners of both the Japanese and
Russian armies concluded their con-
ference and that from the morning OF
January 4 the actual transfer of war
materials at Port Arthur as property
of the Japanese government com
menced.

Paying Political Debts Out of the state
Treasury,


The vast increase in expenditures in
the past few years has compelled the
state administration to get more
money by hook or by crook. They
nave sought to hoodwink the peopIe tn
this fact by claiming that their object
IS to equalize taxes, not to increase
them. But whatever share of the
state expenses you saddle upon the
counties or however much you shift
the taxes from one class of citizens to
another, 1t remains true that the aggre-
gate taxes of all the people must 90 on

nous proportions that they have as

refuge behind the excusing assertion
tnat the increase in expenditure is
necessary that they cannot be cut

necessity for additional State institu-

Is this assertion true? Let us take

The little money came from the es-

two thousand dollars. He was i'll for

cared for him. They are poor, almost
