in the central states the forests give
place to farms, in some instances not
even a woodlot being spareu. The
people of this country unquestionably
have abused the privilege of doing as
they please with their own property
for their immediate financial better
ment, with the prospect of such prac-
tices resulting disastrously in the fu-
ture.
Much of the land denuded Of its
timber is absolute forest land, fit for
no purpose except possibly grazing,
and not of the best character even for
that use. Nature will require
years to replace this protec-
ton SO that a new forest may be
brought forth, and this change never
will be possible unless the woods and
small growth which nature uses as
a basis of the cover shall be protected

lishment of a new { I~tom of national
scope without a widespread public de-
mand for the change believed by its
supporters to be an improvement over
existing customs. Few II any have
the effrontery openly to take the field
against the forestry movement, as all
fair minded people realize the neces-
sity of keeping part of the country

FORESTRY A NECESSITY.
A BROAD, NATIONAL SYSTEM OF
PRESERVATION NOT A FAD
NOR A FANCY.
The Editor of the American Lumber
man Urges Irrigation and Forestry
observation-disclosures Some Noted
Authorities.

BY request the American Lumber
man reprints in this issue a part of
the speech of George II. Maxwell, ex-
| ecutiye chairman of the National lrri-
CATION Association, delivered before
the American Forest Congress at Wash
| ington, d. c., in the early part of jan
| uary, 1905. This address has much
| to commend it to the business men
of the country. 1t was termed the
sensational address of the congress,
and perhaps deservedly SO called be-
cause it sets forth in Illuminated
words the necessity of inaugurating a
systematic movement looking toward
the rehabilitation of forest lands and
the planting or treeless areas.
The gentleman who delivered this
able talk on forestry spoke from eX-
perience and close observation. He did
not dillydally around with the usual
commonplace platitudes about the I'M
portance of forestry, but by illustra-
tion showed for what purposes the
forests were intended and the COM
mercial value of their Importance as
compared with the recognized bulwarks
of the nation. While he conceded the
necessity of an army ana navy to
guard invasion and to protect and up
hold the rights of the people in for
tention to the desirability of maintain
ing an adequate forested area in order
that the commercial interests of the
United States might in like manner
be preserved.
Mr.. MaXwellS arraignment OF the
national lawmakers and his comments
on the shortsightedness of those in
| charge of business interests were time
ly. While not subscribing fully and
unreservedly to the views expressed
| the American Lumberman believes that
his severe condemnation of past and
present methods and practices will
bring forth good results and that its
republication will again turn public
attention to the necessity of adopting
laws which will correct evils in the
future and provide a system of juster
administration of the public land laws
The attitude of the public toward
forestry and irrigation is peculiar
one. Men evidently fail to recognize
any personal interests in such ques
tions. Some are totally Indifferent
others admit the desirability of es
tablishing reserves but want to leav'
it to those who are more directly
concerned. Still others are lukewarn
and, while readily admitting the bene
fits of forestry and irrigation pro
jects, content themselves with waiting
until there is more visible likelihood
of the movement being successful
Still another faction is made up oi
those who are openly opposed to al
forestry schemes, many national irri
CATION projects, and government inter
vention in such matters.
Until within recent years the forest:
of the country as whole have beer
controlled by private owners. Th'

Beauty of England.

All eyes will be turned toward Spain
next May when the young King Al
fonso XII. will take the most beauti-
full and popular princess of England 10
be his queen.
The young girl who has at last been
selected to share the throne with Al
fonso is the Princess Ena Of Batten-
berg. only daughter of Princess Henry,
the youngest sister of King Edward.
Ever since Alfonso became King OF
Spain, and even when his mother
acted as Queen Rege1I,, his picturesque
personality has been the talk OF TWO
continents. Long before he reached
the marriageable age, even for King,
new bride was picked out for him
every day, and to members of his suite
he would often say:
Whom am to marry to-day? The
newspapers surcly have found me an
other wife!"
But now that question no longer
agitates Alfonso's court, for the beau
tiful Princess Ena has been chosen
after a search which led the young
monarch all over Europe. Country al
ter country was visited, but the fas-
tidious young king was often con-
fronted by more fastidious young prln-
cesses, and after he had been out on
his search for a while he found that
royal princesses were not so anxious
to become Queen of Spain as he had
thought back in his luxurious palace.
When Alfonso visited England few
months ago there were dozens OF young
noblewomen paraded for his inspec-
tion. but his eyes flew to the young
Princess Ena, and Alfonso, the unim-

At the head of the list, of course,
stand the young people of the White

Theodore, Jr., who is attending Har-

is away at school, now spend compara-
lively little time at the White House

Alice, the flaXen-haired Miss Ethel and
the younger boys, Archibald and Quen-

Dental mansion, and one and all go in

During many administrations the
Presidents official family has been

present Cabinet is an exception, for in
q majority of the Cabinet homes young
