FORESTRY BOARD LOST
IT'S HOARDED BALANCE
New Code Wipes Out AL ,Unexpended
Appropriations, and Money for Work
on Forest Reserve Is lest.

Owing to another change made by
the revised statutes, alias the !" new
code, - the state forestry board has lost
control, Of a balance of $4,000, saved for
several years, which it intended to use
this season in paying labor for. setting
out Seeding. trees on the, Pillsbury state
reserve. There. are. 1000 seediing
spruce trees, two years old, which ought
to be set out at proper distances to
form a new growth, But the board has
not the money to pay for the work.
Before the new code went into effect
the law provided a rnannerof CARRYING
over balances left in any appropriation
or fund. AS rule, when an appropria-
ton for a given year is not spent, the
balance goes back, into the general
fund, and is wiped out, but there was
a provision whereby the governor, state
auditor and state treasurer. could allow
balances to be carried over from year
to year, and spentsvWhen needed. -a.: e
The forestry board has, been saving
for years out of it's 5beggarly allowance
OF ST. 1000 a. year. to exc sout funds for
doing some work s.oni the reserve. "A
balance of about So, 900 had been ac-
cumnlatel and was to. have been used
this season. State Auditor IVerson dis
covered, however. j til at. the code left out
thetold proFisio M The boarded balance
in that fund. and in every. other state
fund, is wiped out, and at the end of
each fiscal year the slate will he wiped
clean. sss Y
B The wisdom Of this as i general pol
icy is not Questioned, but the forestry
board feels much disappointed to lose
the fruits of SO much careful economy
and to postpone work that needs to be
done so P-ll..

MUCH STATE LAND IS
LYING UNPR0DUCIIVE
FORESTRY A COMING SOLUTION,
SAYS INVERSION.
Auditor and State Land Commissioner
Favors Sale of All Land Fit for Gull
tivation, but Unstable Cut-over
Land Should Be Made Useful for
Growing Trees.

State Auditor Iverson believes that
the state of Minnesota will eventually
adopt a broad forestry policy. IL II
not possible for state officers to make
any change in the present system, and
T e Journ rs suggestions for re-
foresting state lands unfit for agricul.
ture is up. to the legislature. However,
ready going on to a large extent.
sit is big question: said Mr..
should be carefully studied. There are
So many things entering into the prob
lem that it Is hard to generalize. Our
state land that is good enough to re-
pay cultivation should be. sold for agri-
returns in, that way than IL planted in
trees. There are many tracts of land,
however, that are hillY and stony, with
slight soil, that cannot be cultivated
successfully. Those should be planted
in trees. No one can. take issue with
that general statement. Scientific
forestry is very expensive, however.
forestlng 10000 acres turned over by
the government as a state forest re-
serve. 1t comes to 100000 or $40 IN
acre, including the necessary roads.
Most of our reforesting will have to
be done by natural means.
we nave great deal OF state land
that is unstable at the minimum price
OF SIS an acre. The timber has been
removed and is lying idle, growing up
In young Norway and spruce. That is
natural reforestation: The land belongs
to the. school fund, and some day the
second growth Of timber, if not burned,
will bring good returns to the fund.
Then there is a great deal of land in
private hands that has been cut over,
but cannot be sold or cultivated. The
owners of that land are not going to
hold it for a generation and pay taxes
will let the land go back to the state
for taxes The State can afford ! to
wait, as the state does not pay taxes,
and this land will also be part of the
reforestation scheme. 1t viii take
many years to work out, but the prob
lem of what to do with our third and
fourth rate lands viii be solved in
some such way.'
Members of the state forestry board
are strongly in favor of reforesting
state lands. Of the lowest grade. They
call attention to the fact that in Sc
Letting such land as forest reserve the
line between = agriculture and waste
land must be drawn by some competent
authority. This is the rock on which
northern Minnesota people so often
split with forestry advocates, and for
that reason to make the policy success
full it is suggested that a commission
Of representative northern Minnesota
men should be allowed to make the Sc
lections. The forestry board would be
quite willing to have such a commission
created. go. 49,

was extremely nervous. A physician
was summoned but nothing could be
done, and he died Friday, after he had
lacerated, his own flesh in his agony.
Several other persons were bitten by

THE TOWN OF YORKTOWN.
Has Yielded But Little Since the
Great Battle That Made It
Famous

It is somewhat singular that the
average reader knows but little of the
peninsula of Virginia, that historic
tongue of land lying between the
York and James rivers. Years ago,
says writer in Four Track News, it
became the storm center of stirring
events, and to-day, aside from it's pic
turesqueness and it's fish and oysters,
it is dear to every American. Up
and down this narrow strip of ter
ritory, especially between Yorktown
and Williamsburg, marched the
ragged continentals" in their last
glorious campaign for freedom.
The quaintness of Yorktown has yield
ed but little since the one event that
rendered it famous for all time 1t
was once, but that was more than
century ago, the rival of Williams
burg, then Virginia's capital, and 1t
had hopes of unlimited greatness, but
to-day it is struggling village of $50
souls, though honored far and near.
In this connection 1t is told of an
English officer who recently visited
Yorktown, that, after inspecting the
scene Of the capitulation, he re-
marked that he lidn't blame Corn
wallis for surrendering "the blarsted
place."

in whom, he was particularly interest
ed, and after reading this part of his
correspondence he ge;st down to the
work of studying legislation and other
matters that his senatorial duties i'm
pose upon him. About nine O'Clock
his secretary and stenographer put in
their appearance, AMI then the sem
ator dictates his cores. .ondence, which
averages over 100 letters day.
His time is fully occupied with his
correspondence and an occasional call
at the White House until the senate
meets, where he is very prompt and
conscientious in his attendance. He is
a member of three very important
committees, those on judiciary, inter-
oceanic canals and privileges and cleo
tons. They all have big questions be-
fore them, and Mr.. Knox will not
slight any of the subjects. His prom
inence as a great corporation and con-
stitutional lawyer carries with it the
penalty Of being appealed to by his
colleagues on all great questions that
come before the senate.

KOREA "UNDER THE YOKE
Assumption of the Reins of Govern
nlent by the Victorious
japanese.

Nations are like variable stars.
While some are waxing into brilliancy
or flashing into sudden prominence,
others are waning and burning out, says
Youths Companion Norway becomes
a separate entity, with its own king and
its separate government; Finland re-
gains its lost liberties; and at the same
time the gorgeous and profligate empire
of Korea passes under the yoke, as the
Romans used to say. The establishment
of Japanese protectorate over Korea
was not unexpected. For two years the
fact has existed, although the fiction
of independence, like beautiful veil,
was thrown over it by the polite Jap
anese. Those who are most familiar
with conditions in the peninsula are of
the opinion that the open announcement
was Japan's only course. All attempts
of the mikado's government and OF his
agents to establish necessary reforms
have been met by verbal acquiescence
but actual opposition. The last resort
was the removal of what has been called
the most corrupt bureaucracy in the
world, and the open assumption OF the
reins of government by the Japanese.

NOON HOUR is THE NINTH
Change Of the Words Meaning
!, Dates Back to Days Of
I the Monks.

mot many people know that what
is celebrated as noon was originally
at three p. m. The reason for the
change is interesting" said Columbia
university philologist the other day.
Moon, or 'nones,' as it was then
known, was the hour at which the
monks said their 'nones, which were
prayers at lie ninth hour, or three
o'clock. The monks reckoned time
from the time of eating breakfast at
six O'Clock a. m. That was the be-
ginning of their day. The monks were
not permitted to eat their dinner un-
til after they had said their 'nones.
This was a long time for men who
had 80 much time 20 think Of eating.
They were all very hungry at three
O'Clock. BY and by some of them cut
the time little short-prayed little
earlier. AS the time went on they
clipped off enough time to bring the
eating hour in it's proper place, at mid
day, and tnones' became 10 o'clock in
stead Of three, even though it meant
the ninth hour"

THE sTEREoTYPED SMILE.
Man Wearing Castiron smirk Con-
spicuous Feature of Philadel-
phia Suburb.

Many daily travellers on a morning
and evening train to and from one of
Philadelphia's suburbs have noticed
for number of years man, now past
middle age, who wears a perpetual
smirk. This man no doubt thinks he
Is smiling and looking pleasant, but
the smile is so purely mechanical-a
mere contraction of the muscles, eked
out with an oleaginous leer-that the
fixed, set smile is wholly unpleasant
and repellent. He is known as the
man with the stereotyped grin, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t so happens that the man with the
castiron smirk has written several es-
says on the duty of being cheerful and
of irradiating pleasantness in daily
life. He is sociologist and reformer,
and has in mind several benefcient
schemes for the right ordering of tn
universe; but his wife cannot live
with him; his brothers have quarrel
ed with him and his sister and his
daughter-in-law do not speak to him.
He started in life with a good idea
drill your thoughts, shut out the
gloomy and call in the bright" he
failed to put it into practice, because
his smile and his pleasantness are
merely on the surface, while his heart
action is defective.
Almost everyone must have noticed
among his acquaintances certain
number who, in their casual greetings
on the street, use the mechanical
smile. The muscles of the lower face
are contracted with evident effort The
sudden relaxation of the muscles dis.
closes blank face, which, by reason
OF the quick transition, leaves a mos
uswholesome, forbidding impression
