/ Foresty Congress Opens in OF,
iowa Today With Many
Speakers Present:

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. TO-. OF more than
1sual interest, because of It's repre-
sentative character and the impOr-
tance of the questions scheduled for
discussion, is the meeting begun in
Ottawa today Of the Canadian forest
congress-, held under the auspices Of
the Canadian Forestry association.
The gathering, which is to continue in
session until Saturday. was formally
opened in the house of commons BY
Lord Grey. q -3}S
The ofncial call for the convention
Issued by Sir Wilfrid, Laurier was
read. It outlined the objects OF the
congress to be as follows: s55 a#
Canada possesses one Of the largest
areas Of virgin forest OF any country
In the world, and issrated by European
experts first, or among the first, Of the
important sources Of the worlds tim
Der supply for the future. The preser-
walton Of the streams in perennial
and constant flow, which is largely
controlled by the forests on the water
sheds, will have an important influ-
tence on the Industrial and agricultu-
raj development of the domihiOn. The
expansion of our electrical and me-
chanical Industries will be regulated
to great extent by water. which
forms the greatest source Of power
In all countries, and some Of our west
s'ern districts are dependent on irriga-
ton to insure the success Of agricul-
tural operations In all the older
provinces the clearing Of the soil has
been carried to such an extent that the
tll-effects on the water supply and on
agriculture are clearly marked. while
on. the western prafries the need of
sheltering trees for houses and fields
is seriously felt by the settlers. The
early construction of the transcontin-
entail railway and Of other railways,
through our northern forested dis
tricts and the consequent opening of
those districts to general traffic, will
increase the danger from fire, which
has already been a most active agent
of destruction"
The representation at the congress
includes members Of the dominion and
provincial parliaments, delegates from
the Kindred associations in the sew
erai provinces and in addition, repre-
sentatives of the American Forestry
association. E. G.. Jolly de Lotbiniere
OF Quebec is president of the associa-
tion, and the secretary is r H. Camp
bell of the department Of the interior
The main subjects to be consid dered
& by the congress are National inter
est il the forest, the relations~of the
forest and the lumber, pulp and other
industries of the country, forestry in
relation to agriculture. the influence
of the forest on water power and irri-
cation and. forestry education 4
Among the prominent foresters of
the United States who will address the
congress are Clifford Pinchot; chief of
the forest service of the United States

HOME MARKET
FOR FLOUR
A Local Miller Says There is Local
Demand for All the Flour Manu-.
facturcd in Grand Forks.


E. J. White, the efficient manager of
the Russell-Miller company of this
city, which concern manufactures the
famous Diamond flour, takes The
Evening Times to task concerning its
recent editorial on home market for
the product of North Dakota mills.
Mr.. White says that the market is al
ready here and that no education is
necessary. In this particular he is
decidedly optimistic, as will be seen
from his statement quoted below.
There Is no difference between, Mr..
White and The Evening Times except
that he is the more optimistic Of the
two. .
Discussing the matter Mr.. White
said: l I, s
Il would state that IN my opinion
ntne-tenths of the -four used In this

greater proportion of the merchants

WASHINGTON A PLACID CITY.

Washington D. c. Jan. 1O.-If tia
strenuous life be here, as we are bound
to assume that 1t is, it does not OBJ
trude itself. The all-pervading spirit
of things visible is one of calm, of
cheerfulness, of Indifference to the
flight of time. The present is every
where dominant, with its most agree
able face to the front. There is moth
ing to remind one that yesterday had
heaped pledges upon today, or that
today is mortgaging the freedom Of
tomorrow. 1t is as If community Of
100000 souls, carved out of the midst
of our restless Yankeeland, had shalk-
en- off its more serious obligations and
voted itself daily half-holiday.
This suggestion of leisure and re-
creation is intensified by the width OF
the highways and the multitudes of
open spaces, inviting floods of sun
shine and pure air. Wherever sreet
and an avenue intersect, they cele-
brate their meeting by at least tri-
angular parklet or two, if not with
more formal circle or square, Grass,
trees, and shrubbery revel everywhero
in joyous life. Vines spread Them
selves wantonly over any wall that
does not repel their advances, till a
commonplace dwelling becomes castle
of living green with arrow-slits and q
sally-port. Look in any direction and
you have vista fringed in summer
with luxuriant verdure, in winter with
delicate grey lacework of leafless
boughs. Statues of the nations her
oes appear at intervals. From this
point the fiery Thomas, refining in his
steed, stands clear-cut like big black
cameo against saffron shell of sky;
from that, behold the imperious Scott
crossing at stately walk the arena
which bears his name; yonder, see
the sombre Nc Pherson through an
opening in the grove where his COM
rades have left him to receive the
salutes of posterity. And following
with the eye any radial line toward
the place where the river makes its
great bend one sees the Washington
Monument standing guard, hoary
sentinel at the citys water-gate

The Jewish outlook., 1906-06-08

in Chicago, at the Auditorium Annex
Sunday, June 3rd, was one of the most
enthusiastic in the history Of the insti-
tuition. The large green room Of the
hotel was filled not alone with repre-
sentatives from surrounding cities and
from far eastern and western towns,
but the most prominent Jewish citizens
Of Chicago took an earnest and enthu-
siastic part in the proceedings.
Promptly at ten o'clock President
Samuel Grabfelder of Philadelphia
called the meeting to order and after
few formal remarks submitted his an
nual report which was plentifully inter-
rupted by applause. The question Of the
usefulness Of the hospital was thus
treated by him:
"Before continuing the more gen
eral review Of our work during the year,
I would like to interject most impor-
tant development in the part the Ma
tional Jewish Hospital for Consump-
tives and other Colorado institutions
are taking in the battle on the white
plague, and which we are emphasizing in
the construction Of the woman's pavil-
ion. Stated broadly the proposition is
this: that the greater the number of in
stitutions projected in the East for the
treatment Of consumption the more i'm
perative the need of such institutions
as ours. During the past two years it
is matter Of record that large pro-
portion of the cases sent to Colorado by
order of physicians came from eastern
institutions. In the Agnes sanatorium
Of Denver founded and endowed by
Lawrence Phipps, DR.. Holden. the SUI
perintendent, states that third Of his
patients now come from eastern hos
pitals for the treatment of tuberculosis.
The record Of the National Jewish Hos
pital for Consumptives, while not so ex-
tensive as this, nevertheless shows con-
stantly increasing demand for admis-
sion from patients Of eastern institu-
tions The conclusion we are forced to
reach from these and like records is that
with the establishment of new state and
private hospitals for the treatment Of
consumption many more cases are
brought to the surface, which in the
opinion Of physicians can be benefited
only in Colorado or in like climates.
The physicians with the advance Of
knowledge in the treatment Of tubercu-
losis, are taking the high ground that
while the eastern records Of cases
show most commendable results,
much of it is due to the
wise and extremely careful selection
of cases to be treated. In almost every
instance the eastern institution for in
