With all due respect to Superintend-

Again, if weak. sickly children are

Small should take into account the
fact that the factory and store peo-

to dry themselves and take some care
.of their dragged clothing if they feel
the need of it, while in school the
average child has to sit in his seat ana
let his wet shoes and wet clothes dry

to his detriment. The no-school sys-

THE terrible railroad accident in
Colorado which cost nearly half Il hum
di..d lives, resulted from the fact that
the telegraph operator who should
have stopped the Inflated train was
asleep at his post. But before con-
d-rnning the operator, the fact should
h. taken into consideration that he had
been on duty continuously for two days
and nights without a moment Of sleep.
Tie company which allows such 4
period of duty upon such responsible
work is to be blamed and not the man
who falls asleep after working for "
hours at a lonely frontier station.
The superior officers whose orders
kept him at his post so long are the
ones guilty of The highest Of crimes
and the punishment should fall upon
them.

Der which has been left because their
location made marketing unprofita BILE
at prevailing prices. There is still a
comparatively large supply of avail
able timber in the South. but it is being
cut off very rapidly. Yellow pine is
still abundant in the Rocky Mountain
region. The Pacific coast roads get
most of their ties from the northern
California redwood forests and from
the Oregon pine and fir timber lands.
Taking the country over, there are
signs of a coming shortage in tie tim
Der, and this is sufficiently indicated in
advancing prices Even the Bangor
& Aroostook running into the heart Of
our Maine forests, pays SO cents tie,
as compared with IS cents in 1896, and
over 40 cents, as compared with &c
cents ten years ago. The United
States bureau of forestry reports that
it has no figures on the available
supply of timber in the country. but it
expects to be able to give results of a
forest inventory in 1910. the next GEN.
sus year. 1t is convinced, however,
that "the present rate of cutting is
exhausting the supply rapidly" and
says that whether this is to be ex-
hausted depends on whether "the pri-
vate land owners. states and federal
government will quickly institute a
policy Of conservative forest manage
ment.'
The Pennsylvania. Michigan Central,
Illinois Central and Norfolk & West
ern roads have tried planting tracts
with quick -growing trees to supply
future needs. The Pennsylvania has
done this on the largest scale, having
planted "a. 900 yellow locust trees four
years ago; $1,000 in 1903; 224.0O0 in
1904. and 10, 200 last year. This year il
expects to plant about 500 900
