At every biennial session Of the leglsla-

made to regulate the destruction Of small

out the fact that they are cutting of their

as paper makers are keen to obtain pulp

The farmers would rather receive a pit
lance now than wait twenty years for big
ger returns. They point out that the trees
are their own and that they will cut
them when they please.
When the crop is harvested It is drawn
to the nearest railroad station, where the
trees are loaded upon cars and transported

STRIPPED FOR XMAS TREES
Raid on the PineFies More Extensive
This Year Than Ever
Before,

The strong, eloquent and ineffective plea
OF the late ]. Sterling Morton against the
slaughter of young trees to make Christ
mas holiday finds a melancholy echo for
tree champions in the greatly increased
raids on the pineries this season. The
Christmas devastation OF Vermont forests
Is enormous.
1t is estimated that the harvest this
year will be even greater than last, when
10000 young spruces. balsams and hem
locks were taken from the woods. These
trees running In height from two feet
10 fifteen. are cut by mountain farmers
and their children and are sold for 2
cents apiece TO buyers from New York.
Boston, Albany and other cities
The trees are hauled TO the nearest
road where the buyers inspect them and
discard about 60 per cent. This waste
I'm the last ten years has amounted TO
nearly 100000 trees. Had these been al
lowed TO grow experts employed by the
state estimate that their value would have
reached into the millions. Despite these
astonishing figures which were furnished
on, and probably will continue until It is
no longer profitable 10 gather the trees

CHRISTMAS AT WHITE HOUSE
President Reserves Day for Family
Delights and Romps with

President Roosevelt goes in for a merry

ancestors On that one day in the year II

tary Loeb having strict orders TO lay moth
ing before him short Of open rebellion or
a foreign invasion. All official communion
tions go to the presidents secretary, and
the president will not open anything save
personal mail The president observes the
religious side of Christmas but on the
Sunday nearest the feast day On Christ
mas Itself he has regard rather for such
homely Joys as lie in the material aspect
OF the feast. From peep o. day he is at
the disposal of his children. Breakfast
over, chaos relgns. All save close friends
are excluded. Ethel Roosevelt and her
brothdrs take possession Of the whole
house. Mechanical toys are strewn about
the state drawing rooms and scattered
through the corridors. And the president
himself heads the merry tribe bent on
having a forenoon Of fun with the tokens
of Kriss Kringle's esteem.
On Christmas the Roosevelts like all
good Dutch folk, have the family dinner
in the middle of the day. OF course. at s
in the evening the traditions Of the White
House are maintained in the O'Clock
| banquet, to which guests are invited form
ally. But the real feast is served at 2
| O'Clock, when the turkey is borne on whole.

| with potatoes is set at the other end of
| the table This year Senator and Mrs.
Knox have supplied both fowls from their
farm near Valley Forge. Mrs. Knox always
| sends a crate of Christmas good things
to the Roosevelts-home-cured hams, nuts

these gifts are used for the children

dinner, but the 2 o'clock feast will be
none the less brilliant Generally Admiral
and Mrs. William s. Cowles and their SON
william Sheffield COwles, jr., are at the
afternoon meal. Then there comes a drive
or horseback ride with a visit to Mrs
Cowles on the return trip.
The gifts the Roosevelts exchange are

MISSOURI RIVER REPAIRS
Question on which Congressman
Kennedy wants Commercial
Bodies of Omaha TO Act.

Congressman John L. Kennedy arrived
in Omaha Saturday morning from Wash
ington to spend the Christmas recess of
congress at home. He will remain here
until after January 1, when he will return
to Washington for the remainder Of the
short session.
While here he will ask the Commercial
club and the Grain exchange to meet and
take some definite action on the question
Of improvements in the Missouri river to
make it navigable. He believes Omaha has
a good chance to get a share of the ap-
preparation about to be made by congress,
provided a sufficient showing of interest is
made by the business men Of the city.
'The principal business Of this session"
said Congressman Kennedy, will be the
passing Of the appropriation bills. The
Indian appropriation bill has been passed
by the house and the Indian supply depot
here has been cared for in the bill on the
same basis as last year, or perhaps better,
If it requires more money. There is no
reason why the bill should not pass the
senate without change
II would be glad If the Commercial club
and the Grain exchange would get together
and consider the proposed river and har-
Dor bill There is a strong probability that
the river and harbor bill will pass. carrying
an appropriation OF $5O,OOOOOC. OF course
Omaha ought to have its share and these
two organizations ought to express them
selves on the subject.
kansas City made such a showing al
the Deep Waterways congress in Wash.
ington that it will be necessary for Omaha
to take aggressive action in order to OBJ
tain it's share of the appropriation. The
country generally is more strongly in favol
Of the river and harbor appropriation thar
ever before in the history Of the country
| Leading business men are beginning t
| realize that the waterways as Highways
of trade and traffic have been neglected"

jected at Saturday mornings meeting OF

No. brick as we'll as on No. 1, and tho
other addition will be for bids on a harder
wearing surface for the macadam work
than provided for in the original specih-
cations
Figures compiled by the surveyor show
the bids on brick were 65 per cent aud ON
macadam ~ per cent higher than the COST
OF paving Dodge street several years ago.
A communication from the Omaha Field
club was peremptorily ordered returned to
the club by the board The letter was In
relation to a piece Of property on Thirty
sixth street now being used by the club as
q part OF the golf links. It was originally
the property OF the county, but now an
eastern claimant comes up with claim to
the title asserting he had secured IL
through foreclosure Of a mortgage. A COM
mttee from the Field club met with the
| commissioners and discussed the advisa-
bnity Of the county prosecuting its claim
| to the title, thereby enabling it to make
good its lease to the Field club. The letter
which was objected to was an acceptance
of "the proposition made by the board
that the Field club buy the house which Is
on the property and the county secure title
| to the ground. The members of the board
| declared they had made no proposition OF
any kind to the Field club and the letter
was ordered returned with a statement to
that effect, with the additional one that IL
the club wanted TO make such a proposal
to the county board II would he considered.
