WHAT Results from the Destruction Of
Our Forests.

Upon these forests three foes are con-
centrating their attack First is the
small farmer, who, crowded from the
rich valleys, is endeavoring to hew for
himself and his dependents living out
of the mountain side To do this he
clears "a space, and farms it in rude
fashion and, in from five to twenty
years. exhausts it; he now moves up
the mountain side and repeats the pro-
cess. Erosion follows his operations, and
the land becomes series of worthless
cutters. Next may be mentioned the
professional wood cutters, including the
tan-bark men, pulp men and lumberers.
The first seek only the bark; but like
the hunter of flamngoes' tongues or
buffalo hides, they Leave behind them to
rot, after collecting their tribute, a
huge but worthless residue. The pulp
man cuts clean, good bad, large, small,
old and young, t.us making natural re-
production of the forest impossible. The

almost as much as he takes, and pract-
ically insures fires, which complete the
work of denudation. Having conquered
and burned Carthage, Scipio passed the

the forests remain, these regulate the

it into the underground circulation, and

Sneak Thief at EImhirst.

Deputy Sheriff Jim Keaton,
placed under arrest yesterday
morning a young man who gave
his name as Strickland, and who
for the past two weeks has been
employed at the Elmhirst Hotel as
porter. For several days things
had been missing from the rooms
of the hotel and suspicion was
placed on this man, but no one
openly accused him until Wednes-
day night. A gentlemen who had
just arrived at the hotel, left a suit
of clothes hanging on a chair in his
room and when he retired that
night the clothes were missing. He
at once told the clerk about it and
at his request the arrest was made.
Deputy Sheriff Keaton after an
hour or so with the prisoner at the
Jail, got confession, as we'll as the
return of all the stolen property.
Strickland is about twenty years
old and has been in the city only a
few weeks. On a promise of not
doing such again, he was released
from custody.

WATERING PLACE TO Be SECURED
Manager Jones Of the Water Company Agrees ia
Furnish the City Without Cost Three Thousand
Gallons per rlonth.

to see the gentlemen in regard to
the proposition, let their decision
be what it may. At this point,
Judge Merrill suggested that rates
be asked for from the water COM
pany and if too high, then the only
method to resort to, was to sink a
well. Manager Jones of the COM
pany was called in, and after hear
ing the proposition, agreed to
furnish to the city for public use,
three thousand gallons, per month,
free of charge, and to put it at
thirty cents thousand gallons for
all over that amount, provided the
city would put in the fountain and
other fixtures. This proposition
was taken under adVisement and
Mr.. Jones was thanked for his
liberality in the matter. Another
matter, in reference to this same
question was then brought forth;
it is the intention of the city gov
eminent, when any improvement is
made, that the street grades be
established and side walks be put
in as regulated by the ordinance,
recently passed. Thus before the
committees in charge can put in a
watering placed or accept Manager
Jone proposition, side walks must
be place around the court house,
and the grades established. Judge
Merrill was questioned as to
whether or not the county was
ready.to comply with these things,
his answer being a reference to
the county commissioners. This
being the case, it was decided to
meet again this afternoon with the
commissioners if possible, and to
make some definite plans in regard
to side walks.
The meeting Of the committees
lasted possibly two hours and the
two propositions elected much dis
cdssion on the part of all. The
needs Of such things are evident
and we bespeak success for those
who are showing their interest in
! the matter.

The effects of the Civic League
are already being felt and when the
things that are now absorbing the
closest attention of this organiza-
ton, are brought to a finale. the
entire citizenship of Amarillo will
be benefited. Though the organiza-
ton is less than a week old, it has
assumed the position of a full
grown" and the way the members
are working there will be some
things done toward lettering the
city that have long been deemed
necessaries, but only lately have
received the attention that is due.
For three consecutive days the
League committee, appointed to
confer with the other committees
in regard to some questions, have
been on hand promptly, but for
some reason, other committees
were absent, until Yesterday after
noon, when the meeting was held.
The proposition that is considered
the most vital at present is a
public watering place and on &C
count of the present water rates,
it was being freely talked in favor
of letting the city, county, COM
mercial club and civic league,
jointly put down a we'll on the
court house square for public use.
This, how ever, was thought to be
an expensive solution, but it SEEM
ed to be the only one at this time.
1t was known that all the COM
mittees, with the exception of the
county commissioners, would come
together in the matter and each
donate their share in doing this,
but there existed some doubt as to
the county's standing their part for
the reason, it is said, that at this
time of the year the treasury is
not over burdened with funds, and
besides, bonds are falling due as
we'll as other expensives staring
them in the face. This matter was
thoroughly discussed by the ladies

ened when passing the Illinois Central

badly bruised face but Harry's in
juries were more severe and he was
unconscious for some time. The in
juries are not serious or permanent
however and he may congratulate
himself upon his narrow escape. The
team was finally captured but not UNI

nearly all in.

DENIsoN LOSES.

Last Saturday evening the Denison
High School Basket Ball team played
the West Side town team a most ex-
citing game of basket ball. The teams
were very evenly matched and it was
a hard tussle to the last for the
honors. Denison lost three points on
account of the crowd yelling so the
teams were unable to hear the whistles
of the umpire and referee. The score
at the end of the first half stood II
to 18 in favor of West Side, and dur
ing the last half the West Side boys
succeededin landing the victory. getting
the points mostly on fouls. A game
was played between the End High
School team and the college, the COL
lege winning by six points. There
was quite large crowd at the game,
the receipts being $500. The High
School will play the West Side High
School team at that place.

Mr.. Henry Faul has been the ex
ceptionally efficient clerk of the city
of Denison the past year. His work
was satisfactory not only to the people
but to the aldermen. He was elected
by council composed equally of dem
ocrats and republicans. This year by
the partisan and unjust ruling of the
election Judges of the second ward
the council is democratic. Mr.. Faul
is democrat. He was approached
by the democratic members of the
city council this year and offered the
clerkship for second year, provid-
ing that every bit of the city printing
should go to- the Bulletin office. Mr..
Faul is printer. At present he is
in the employ OF the Review. He is
the best printer in Denison by long
odds. The Review made no objection
to an even division of the work. This
did not satisfy the councilmen who: but
recently were begging republican votes
on the ground that city elections ought
to be non-partisan and there was no
politics in the city government any
way. They must have the whole hog
or none. Mr.. Faul did not make APP
plication for the clerkship, preferring
to be fair with his employers rather
than to hold petty office. The Re-
view is not sore. The city printing
about which the Bulletin and the nom
partisan democrats on the city council
are so strenuous does not amount to
more tha $50. per year. The whole
thing but illustrates the prophesy of
the Review that if the republicans
were foolish enough to place the lever
in democratic hands, every ounce of
power thus given would be used to
further the plans of the democratic
party. The whole thing is an exhibit
ton of as petty partisanship as we
have ever seen. Had there been fair
count in the second the democrats
might have been disposed to be de-
cent. No wonder they were so belig-
erent about throwing out republican
votes.
