arrest of Luther Finkbinder and For
rest Free, two 16-year-old boys, of
Kimberton, Reading Railway detec-
tives say they have caught the ring
leaders of a car-robbing gang, none of
whose members is more than 16.
Younk Finkbinder was taken from
his desk in the village school and Free
was arrested while doing chores on the
farm of Russell Pennypacker. Both
boys confessed to having broken into
the KimbertOn railway station last
Sunday and on two previous Sundays
to having entered freight cars at Potts
town.
Kim3erton is village of about 200
inhabitants, situated about six miles
west Of PhOeniXviie, with which it is
connected by a One-track railroad. No
trains run on it after dark on Sunday,
and the boys would secure possession
Of a hand car and ride to this place,
where they would board freight trains
on the Reading or Pennsylvania and go
to towns further up the Schuylkill VAL
ley.
They have been in POttstown several
times. and have gone as far as Read
ing. They would return to their homes
before sunrise the next day. and their
parents or guardians were ignorant of
their nocturnal escapades.
The hoys were taken TO Norristown,
where they are locked up to await a
hearing before Magistrate Lenhardt
next Wednesday.

PLANTING MANY TREES.
Forestry Service Working on National
Reserves.

Washington. March 2G.-Forcstry
planting on the national re-
serves has gained far wider scope
aud Il wholly new importance since the
administration passed to the Secretary
of Agriculture Il year ago. This work
Eow forms a leading part in the activ-
ity of the Forest Service.
The change is due to fuller appre-
citation of the needs of timber supply
and water conservation. and to the
knowledge that nature un1ided cannot
repair the forest Tavage and waste of the
past.
The area now under forest in the
West is less by millions Of acres than
the area suitable for forest growth.
In the first place, fire has destroyed an
enormous quantity of forest, denudinG
rountain slopes SO completely that re-
newal by natural means has been rem
Gered impossible for ages. Again, vast
areas. scores of millions Of acres, like
the chaparrel lands of Southern Cali
fCrnia which once bore forest growth,
but long since lost il. must remain in-
definitely unprOductlvc wastes unlesS
reclaimed again by planting.
Moreover. the demand for TIMBER
even the local demand, cannot long be
supplied from the reserves unless they
are developed to the highest productive
capacity, and for this forest replace
ment and extension, quite as much as
conservative logging, are essential. Fl
nally the indirect use of the reserves
is not less impressive. The vital i'm
rortance of water for irrigation would
in the case of several of them, alone suf-
fee to render forest planting on water
sheds imperative. In Southern Cali
fornia forest extension on the noun
tains is strongly favored by public sell
timent at almost any expense, because
| it is water, not the supply of fertile
soil, which limits agriculture, so that
land worth $1,000 an acre with water
could hardly be given away without
it,
There are now six permanent reserve
planting stations-two in California
one in New Mexico, one in Cciorado
one in Utah. and one in Nebraska
Others will be established as it i.
found advisable.

favorable for planting III California

THE "BooM" IN CANADA,

Looks for in 1906.

! Thorold, Ont, March 26-If the COM
ing events of 1906 are at all COM
mensurate with the shadows they are
already casting before. the development
of the Northwest will assume extra
ordinary proportions this year.
For building purposes alone the West
is already assured of an expenditure Of
$25. 100000 this summer. Fifteen million
dollars Will be spent in Winnipeg, and
nearly $10.O00.00O more in Regina. Cal
gary. Edmonton, and the smaller
towns.
From the plans of the railway COM
panies it is evident that many con-
structions will be undertaken other
than those already announced. The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company is

tractors to have 100 miles completed by
autumn. Sir William Van Horne has
recently prophesied that the whole

from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The development of the West
naturally reacts upon the East For
