Full of Giants

II is almost impossible for one who
has seen only the eastern or Rocky
Mountain forests TO ina gine the woods OF
the Pacific coast. Pictures OF the big
trees are as common as postage stamps,
but the most wonderful thing about the
big trees is that they are scarcely bigger
than the rest of the forest. The Pacific
coast bears only a tenth of our wood
land. but nearly half OF our timber An
average acre in the Rocky mountain for
est yields one 10 two thousand board feet
OF lumber In the southern rorest' three
t.ur 10 six thousand. An average acre
on the Pacific coast yields fifteen to
twenty thousand. Telescope the south
ern and Rocky mountain forests, toss the
northern on top OF them and stuff the
central into the chinks and, acre for
acre. the Pacific forest will outweigh
them all.-American Magazine.

MRS. COREY GETS
DIVORCE DECREE
At RENO, NEv.

Reno. New. July N.--Mrs. william Eli
lis Corey. wife OF the president OF the
United States Steel corporation. was
awarded a divorce in the Second district
court OF Nevada. sitting at Reno. at .
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Tho case
was submitted without argument and the
jury took but one ballot. The jury was
out but a. few minutes
Mrs. Corey was IN tears when told that
she had been given a decree and the Gus
tody OF her 1s-year-old son, Allan Corey.
She drove at once to her home. on River
tinue TO reside. No evidence was submit
ted by the defence and there was no ar
gument.
The question OF alimony was not in
troduced. Mrs. Corey made an interesting
admission. however. touching upon this
phase OF the case. In May, 1896, several
weeks before her petition for divorce was
filed, she said she negotiated through her
attorneys financial settlement with her
husband. She was not asked what the na-
ture OF this settlement was.
AT the conclusion OF the arguments At
torney Sardis Summerfield OF Reno stated
that his client, William r. Corey. was as
anxious for the decree of divorce as the
wife.
IF the decree is granted" he said, "Mr.
Corey will be entirely satisfied. He has
consented TO this divorce. This under
standing between Mr.. Corey and the at
torney OF Mrs Corey was reached some
time ago"
7. r. Chadbourne OF Pittsburg also ap-
peared as counsel for Mr.. Corey. who was
not present.

FIRE INSURANCE
CO. STABILITY
IS QUESTIONED

New York. July a.-The Merchants as
ISOLATION OF Now York last night made
public a letter which was recently sent
by the organization TO the state supertn-
tendent OF insurance, Otto Kelsey. ask
ing that he make an fnvesugation into
the solvency of certain fire insurance
companies operating in New York state.
The letter called attention 10 current
talk in insurance circles affecting a num-
Der of companies whose assets are said
10 be badly impaired. II, indeed, the cor
porations are not bankrupt. mainly be-
cause OF the San Francisco fire.
The letter declared that from informa-
tion received by the Merchants associa-
tion II was believed that some alleged
insolvent Western companies continue 10
do business in the East and 10 make
prompt settlements Of small losses. while
doing everything In their power TO scale
down claims and defer settlements on
the plea OF inability TO pay in full.
THE sworn statements OF conflagra-
ton losses filed in your department" the
letter continues, doubtless furnish you
with sufficient information 10 determine
which companies are still responsible and
entitled TO continue business. The show
ing made in these statements Is naturally
as favorable as II is possible for the
companies TO make. and conditions devel-
oped by settlements OF losses are apt 10
be worse rather than better"
The letter closed with an appeal for an
examination into the present condition OF

In his reply Superintendent Kelsey
stated that the department was already

OF the association, but that the verihed
statements from the several insurance
companies do not determine the condi-
ton OF the companies.

BELCHER's THEFTs
AMOUNTED To
over s100,000

Paterson. N. j.. July s1.-Broken In
spirit and body, wearied by his attempts
70 evade the clutches of uprelenting and
pursuing justice, William II. Belcher.
formerly mayor Of Paterson. an cmbez-
zler TO the amount OF at least 10000 who
became fugitive from the law about
a year ago. walked into the Passaic
county jail here early yesterday and gave
himself up, a self-confessed thief and
forger.
He presented himself TO the night keep
er OF the Jail at FIVE minutes past y
O'Clock this morning and was so changed
that Keeper David Morrison, an old ac-
quaintance failed TO recognize him. I'm
kempt. wet. bedraggled and aged. the
citys former executive had difficult
time in convincing Morrison OF his iden-
tity.
Finally. however. the recognition coni-
plete. Morrison shook the hand OF the fu-
gitive, took him into the warden's room
and notified sherifr Charles A. Bergen 10y
telephone. After a short talk Belcher was
given a dry suit OF clothing In place OF
the wet ones he was wearing and lodged
in a cell.
Belcher's return occurs within a day OF
exactly one year OF the \time when the
city OF Paterson awoke 70 the fact that
it's mayor was nowhere TO be found and
that various trust funds belonging 10 es-
tates which he was handling, as well as
the money Of working people. members OF
loan and building societies, were also
gone.
The people OF the city were az FIRST
confirmed believers that Mayor Bclcher,
whose character had previously been with
out blemsh, could not have been guilty
Of the wholesale robbery and embezzie-
ment which had undoubtedly taken place.
Examinations into his affairs by former
associates and by the state bank exam
iner. expert accountants and bankers
showed conclusively. however. that Bel
cher had betrayed nearly every trust con-
fided 10 his keeping and that he had also
flooded the banks OF the city with worth
less notes and collateral for loans rang
ing from $1,000 TO 5000.
The city was shocked but when the au-
thorities had finished their Investigations
II was shown that Belcher had obtained
about 100000 by his forgeries, embezzle-
ments and other species OF theft.
When Belcher left Paterson IL was as.
serted that he carried with him about
s26.0o0 in cash In explanation OF TIE
query OF what channels had done away
with the rest OF the money IL was de-
clared that he had lost a considerable
amount OF IL In stock gambling. the alle-
cation being made that while he had had
no dealings with local firms he was
frequent customer with New York
house.
The statement was made that within a
few days previous TO his sudden depart
ure he lost big sum of money through
dealings placed with this firm on mar
gin accounts
A recapitulation OF the losses through
Belcher's agency during the few years
previous TO the disappearance, with the
names OF his alleged victims and the
amount OF their claims. is as follows:
