Secretary Wilson has more than

question Of American Forestry. Mr..
Wilson has, in fact for some years been

erful organization, composed Of public,
pirited men throughout the country,

national interest in the enormous

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 evi.
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.

assistant forester and five clerks and

what are we going to do?" asked
Or. Hale In his deep voice. I'VE must
use both common sense and sentiment
In deaAng with the forest question.
It is a very great question. The in.
dividuals interested in American for.
estrys even though they be millionaires
or multl'milliona1res. 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.
tlal 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 soma
reference to the future; in other words
they should be cropped. All the gov.
ernments Of Europe rely largely unon
their forest lands for revenue. A aim.

With so much interest focused on
happenings In Russia, 1t would be
strange indeed II we did no. receive a

cities Of the country are now centering
their attention upon The Russian play
"Monna Wanna" the thle role Of which
Is being essayed by Madame Bertha
Kalich, 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 word of ESglish, vet 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.

at the Russian and Hebrew theatres
OF New York City. Her first appearance
In an English speaking play was a

performances were disappointing but
st the end Of fortnight she made
profound impression upon her audience.

the value OF their catch and are likely
to sell a $22 otter pelt for "a or IS. and
a I'll mink pelt for a dollar, or perhaps
a pint Of whiskey. The white man Ia
well aware Of this fact, and some a.
gents make 1t their business during the
winter to do nothing but buy furs Of

These agents usually travel from re

Even the little weasel, scores Of
which daily leave their tiny tracks

furs Worth More Now Than Fos
Past Thirty Years.

The many trappers operating alone
the northern boarder will reap q 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 theiI
traps during the cold months for q
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 q higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been o
decided slump In the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now,
where a year or two ago they were IS
high as 5000 apiece.
Last wi, ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for a mink pelt, and 1t
wasn't more than a season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for q
single pelt of this kind. Now q choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, and a mar
ten pelt from $1S to $50, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin Is
worth $22 just as 1t comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite few fisher are caught
through 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.

500 men and having an annual appro.

warning against the wholesale reduc

people or by our legislators"
After advocating the broadest kind
Of protective forest policy, he touched
on the subject Of reforesting certain

There is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t In
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Cstarrh Cure
