facts to constitute a cause of action.
The litigation between the commits

will come before the supreme court at

on the opinion of the attorney gener-

BRILLIANT ADDRESS AT ANNUAL
CONVENTION AMERICAN FOR.
ESTRY ASSOCIATION.

Secretary Wilson Sounds Warning
Note on Forest Destruc dillon
Acres Should Be Tree-pIanted-
Everett Hale In Vigorous 5 eel Il.
Secretary Wilson has more than
once manifested deep interest in the
question OF American Forestry. Mr..
Wilson has, in fact for some years been
elected and reelected President of the
American Forestry Association, pow
erful organization, composed OF public
pirited men throughout the country,
wnlcn has probably done more than
any other one influence to awaken
national interest in the enormous
destruction of the forests and the neces.
sity for their business-like management
and preservation, even to the reforest-
alton of denuded areas and the plant.
ing of trees upon barren prairie lands.
That the movement in the United
States is coming to be considered an
important one is to some extent evil
denced by the increased recognition Of
the subject by Congress, which is also
due largely to Secretary Wilson's en-
thusiasm. When Mr.. Wilson was ap-
pointed Secretary of Agriculture by
President Mckinley, his forestry di-
vision consisted of one forester, an
assistant forester and five clerks and
with an annual appropriation from

due to reckless and wasteful methods,
he has seen the axman and the mill
man move westward, swiftly and sure
ly moving down everything IN his
course until there is practically no sec
ton he has left uninvaded.
At the present rate of timber cutting in
the United States, 40 years from to-day
there will be not an acre left of mer-
charitable timber.
Common Sense Forestry.
What are we going to do?" asked
DR.. Hale in his deep voice. 1--WE must
use both common sense and sentiment
in dealing with the forest question.
1t is a very great question. The in
d1viduals interested in American for
estry, even though they be millionaires
or multi-millionaires, can not accom-
plish anything definite and lasting un.
less the states and the general govern
ment can be awakened to the necessity
OF giving the cause large and substan.
tlal assistance which it merits. Com.
mon sense, in forestry, means that the
forestry question should be put upon
a business basis. In order to make a
large, immediate profit forests are de-
stroyed; they should be cut with some
reference to the future; in other words
they should be cropped. All the gov.
ernments of Europe rely largely upon
their forest lands for revenue. A sim.
liar condition should and could be
brought about in this country"

have any business ability. A good
many Of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
ity of them is that they do not know
the value of their catch and are likely
to sell a $22 otter pelt for 81 or IS, and
a S11 mink pelt for dollar, or perhaps
a pint of whiskey. The white man is
we'll aware of this fact, and some a.
gents make it their business during the
winter to Dc nothing but buy furs of
the Indians, selling them later at a
handsome margin of profit.
These agents usually travel from re
servation to reservation by dog team
or snow shoes.
Even the little weasel, scores oil
which daily leave their tiny tracks
in the snow on the outskirts of the
towns are worth 81 each for their pelts
They were valueless three years ago
and two years ago were worth 10 cent
each. For time last winter the peIt
brought SO cents each. The wease

American sable together with the mar

glance the only distinguishing featur
between it and the mink is spot O

So far this is the story Of Norma Wanna
for the American people are not &C
customed to the mannerisms and act
ing Of the Russian plays.
Madame Bertha Kalich is tall and
of the brunette type usual to the He
brew, with eyes that while most expires.
sive, can hardly be said to be winning.
She cannot be classed as beautiful,
but her art has mimicry which is
sure to bring fame to her. Critics lay
great faith in her possibilities as an
actress. They believe that after thor.
ough schooling ON the American stage,
the requirements of which are far diff
ferent from those of the Russian, she
will become famous, for she comes Of
a race which has achieved wonders.
And when we encounter marked talent
in the Hebrew race no one living can
predict how many rungs of the ladder OF
fame may be traversed successfully. The
greatest actors, not only of the present
age but of the past, have been and
are Jews. Of the women we have from
Rachel to Bernhard, and the men
range from Dawson to Edwin Booth,
while passing reflections may be given
to the ability of David Garrick, Mrs
Siddons and a host of others in whose
veins were some drops Of Oriental
blood.
Bertha Kalich's appearance in Chi
cage was greeted with an outburst OF
enthusiasm which continued through
out the many weeks of her perform
ance there. Such well-known critic as
w. H. Hubbard of the Chicago Tribune
in reviewing 'Monna Wanna and Its
leading actress, said, Madame Kalich
is enrolled in the list of great artists
She is now an actress of peculiar and
uncommonly attractive qualities and
gives every promise Of becoming in a
few seasons one of the most notable
women on the American stage. Watch
ing her during the week has brought
conviction that she is the possessor
of remarkable talents and that these
talents are susceptible Of developing
and shaping which can but place her
high in the esteem Of q large class
of the best theatregoers and add an.
other great artist 10 the small list OF
really gifted players that our stage
can boast. She has the power indis'
pensable to any artist who is to endure
and whose work is to be of any wide
reaching infiuence-the power to az
tract the public.

With so much interest focused on

Madame Kalich may not be Considered

spark of humanity that CLOVIS in the
human breast. Six years ago she did
not know word of English, yet her
mastery at the present time of one of

she speak English well but she is fam

profound impression upon her audience.

7RAPPERS' PROSPEROUS TINES.
Furs Worth More Now Than For
Past Thirty Years.

The many trappers operating along
the northern boarder will reap a rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, in the
log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers
in the wilds of the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold months for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary to the Great
Lakes look to mink, marten and otter
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts of these little
animals at present command higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump in the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now,
where a year or two ago they were as
high as $500 apiece.
Last vii ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for mink pelt, and it
wasn't more than season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind Now choice
raw mink fur will bring s11, and mar
ten pelt from SIS to $40, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from So to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to 50 each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota
