Congress for forestry of 100000 Since
then forestry division has been advanc-
ed into separate bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, employing over
500 men and having an annual appro-
priation from Congress of upwards Of
one-half a million dollars. Fully a
million acres of forest lands in the
eastern part of the United States have
been turned over to the Bureau of
Forestry for management on practi-
cal and scientific basis which will en-
able the cutting of the forest for lum-
ber and at the same time insuring
succeeding Crops" of timber, while
over 10O,000,OCO of the acres of COVER
ment Forest reserves in the west have
also been turned over to the Bureau
of Forestry for administration. 1t is
probable that at least another 10000.
900 acres of public timber land will be
placed in federal reserves.
Secretary Wilson in his opening ad-
dress at the recent annual meeting Of
the American Forestry Association in
Washington, uttered a clear note of
warning against the wholesale reduc-
tion of the woodland area in the
country.
mo nation on earth is as successful
in the work of destroying its forests as
the United States" he declared. The
indiscriminate mutilation of the forests
must be stopped; the matter has be-
come one of national interest which
can not much lon"er be ignored by the
people or by our legislators"
After advocating the broadest kind
of protective forest policy. he touched
on the subject of reforesting certain
sections. He thought that every day
should be an arbor day, that every year
should mark a notable advance in the
effort to recover lost ground.
Plant a Million Acres.
eve should plant" he said, mot 10,
600 acres nor stop at 100000 acres,
but should plant 100000 acres in
trees, and this would be, viewed from
several points, the very best investment
which the United States ever made. II
would be a paying, money investment
to the government, and it would be n
tremendous help to our agriculture.
The price of merchantable timber is in
creasing with great rapidity, while
every one knows the very beneficial
effect that has resulted from the plant
ing of wind-breaks in the prairie
states"
Another address before the Associa-
ton by the venerable Edward Everett
Hale, now the Chaplain of the United
States Senate, constituted clean-cut
statement of the great necessity of
prompt action to protect the forests.
DR.. Hale is around eighty years OF age;
he remembers when the saw and the ak
had scarce touched the giant monarchs
in Ohio Valley, when the forests of
northern Michiran and Minnesota were
unbrolen wildernesses, and when those
of the far northwest, in that marvellous
country "where rolls the Oregon were

states denrded of their valuable timber
and burned over by devastating fires

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

Ine 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 year or two ago they were as
high as $500 apiece.
Last wi, ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for n mink pelt, and 1t
wasn't more than n season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now a choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, and mar
ten pelt from SIS to $50, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin Is
worth s22 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
northern Minnesota and these
are worth from IS to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to 80 each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

Common Sense Forestry.
What are We going to do?" asked
DR.. Hale in his deep voice. We must
use both common sense and sentiment
in dealing with the forest question.
1t Is a very great question. The in
dividuals 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-
tial assistance which it merits. Com
mon sense, in forestry, means that the
forestry question should be put upon
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"

BRILLIANT ADDRESS AT ANNUAL

Secretary Wilson Sounds Warning
Note on Forest ruction-N1illion

Everett nalc in Vigorous ) ,ecI.


Secretary Wilson has more than
once manifested a 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,
which 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
anu 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

Indians, or such of them at least as
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 $22 otter pelt for 81 or IS, and
a S11 mink pelt for dollar, or perhaps
a pint of whiskey. The white man Is
well aware of this fact, and some a.
gents make it their business during the
winter to do 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 OF
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 cents
each. For a time last winter the pelts
brought so cents each. The weasel
also belongs to the homologue of the
American sable together with the mar
ten, mink. fisher and otter. The Ameri
can sable really is the marten, accord
ing to some authorities 1t is common
ly called the pine marten, and at first
glance the only distinguishing feature
between it and the mink is spot OF
beautiful orange color on its throat
just under the chin.
A grizzly bear skin is worth $40. II

erizzlv bears are unknown in the
Lake Region. Many black bears are
trapped and shot. however. by settlers

'Monna Wanna" the tile role OF which
is being essayed by Madame Bertha
Kalich, a Polish actress who won fame
in the Yiddish theatres on the Bowery
in New York City.
Madame kalich may not be considered
a beautiful woman but through the nat
uralness of her acting she touches every
spark of humanity that glows in the
human breast. Six years ago she did
not know a word of E-glish, yet her
mastery at the present time of one of
the most difficult of all speaking
tongues, is remarkable Not only does
she speak English well but she is fam
iliar with five other languages-Ger-
man. Polish, Russian, French and Yid-
dish. For years she has been acting
at the Russian and Hebrew theatres
Of New York City. Her first appearance
in an English speaking play was

name part In Fedora" Her earlier
performances were disappointing but

Motoring Makes Fat.

Women who are afraid of growing
fat and adding adipose tissue should not
motor much. Nothing increases the
appetite like rushing through fresh
air. while the fact of sitting all day
prevents the taking Of ordinary exer-
elsie. Few people walk after they ac-
,ouire q motor. Progression seems too
slow and too tiresome, SO that, like hens
shut up in coop, they only stir to eat.
II 1t is desired to retain the figure, q
woman should not motor every day, or
at least not all day, and should take care
to indulge in q brisk walk, q ride, or a
bicycle run as well, in order to exercise
the muscles and keep them supple and
strong. It is extremely easy getfat and
shapeless in q very short time, and as
difiicult to return to ones normal con-
dition Of slimness. The average motor

worse Than the Rioters.

The Metz (Mo.) Times evolves this:
Allan Jamison had q trying expert
ence while cutting corn for Rev. NJ. A.
Wolf in the Usage bottoms the other
day. He was working away when sud-
denly something struck him, knocking
him to the ground, where he remained
for some time in an unconscious state.
He finally recovered, and although
badly bruised up was able to get home.
The next day he went back to the field
in the hopes Of finding out what struck
him and was rewarded. There were
two ears Of corn that had fallen from
the stalk he was cutting on. The torn
up condition of the ground indicated
that he had struggled hard to get from
under the big nubbins that held him
down. The above incident was not
reported by Rev. Mr.. Wolf, but comet
from q more reliable source-namely
Allan himself.

through using pa for q mop, but finally
the people got rope around pa, and q
keeper got an iron hook in the ele-

on the other side, and just then the
calliope, that ends the parade, came

Women Guests Objectionable.

AS general rule, the leading hotels
In New York rather discourage lone
women guests. No matter how we'll
recommended they come or how cer-
tain the management is Of their re-
spectability, they always tack about 20
per cent. on the price of apartments
when they are let to women. Wom-
en- do not patronize the bar; they do
not spend much money in the dining
room; they are inclined to make their
own coffee for the morning in their
own rooms; they tack pictures on ex-
pensive wall paper; they demand more
service than the men; they do not en-
tertain in the way that helps the ho-
tel to make money; they are apt to
keep q pet dog without telling the
proprietor about 1t in advance. When
they wear waists that button down the
back they want the housekeeper OF
the floor to come in and button them
up or down for them. They are III
ways demanding extra service OF a
kind which costs the hotel money, but
they are not inclined to pay for It.
