HETTY GREEN IS
SEVENTY, TWO TODAY
THE RICHEST WOMAN IN AMER
IcA PASSES QUIET BIRTHDAY.
NO CELEBRATION.

Special to the Herald.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Hetty
Green, who is spending the winter in
Boston, was 70 years old today. The
latest edition of who's Who" gives
1885 as the year of Mrs. Green's birth,
but she herself is authority for the
statement that she came into the
world a year before that date, and is
consequently 70 years old. Mrs. Green
differs from the majority of her sex in
many things, and in the matter of
stating her age she is no exception.
She is getting along in years." and
she doesn't care who knows it.
There was no celebration to mark
the birthday of the richest woman in
America. She spent the day as she
spends six days in the week, quietly
looking after her business affairs and
taking things easy. She is residing
with her daughter in a boarding house
that she owns in Rowland street, Rox-
bury. Mrs. Green owns nearly all the
houses on both sides of the street.
The street is named after her mother.
Mrs Green's chief purpose in coming
to Boston at the present time is TO Sc
cure tenant for a house opposite the
boarding house where she now is, and
which has long been vacant. The
house has been on the renting lists of
first one real estate dealer and then
another for two years or longer, but
it was not rented. Mrs. Green decided |
that it was time to do something So
she turned up in Rowland street I'M |
announced one Sunday morning and |
tore the agents notices from the doors |
and windows. In their place she post |
ed notice directing prospective ten
ants to call upon her across the street. |
In addition to securing a tenant for |
her vacant house, Mrs. Green is occu-
pied with several lawsuits in Boston.
But lawsuits never worry her When
they have been disposed of she prob
ably will go to Texas to spend the re-
mainder of the winter She has vast
interests in Texas, and moreover her
son, E. H. R. Green, lives there, and
Ned" as she fondly calls him, is the
idol of her heart.

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Bombay, Nov. pa dispatch from
Cabul states that Habibulla Khan, the
ruler of Afghanastan, leaves today on
his much discussed tour of India. The
visit of the Ameer is looked forward to
with much interest 1t has been off
cially stated by the Ameer and confirm
ed by the British authorities that the
visit is without political significance
But the invitation and its acceptance
can hardly be regarded as otherwise
/ than a move to further cement the
friendly relations between Afghanas-
tan and England, and it is sure to be
so considered by Russia. The crex Of
the matter lies in the fact that Afghan
asian is the buffet which separates the
Russian dominions from England's
great empire of India and so long as
Afghanastan remains friendly and I'M
der the influence of England the claws
of the great Russian bear can never
close in on India.
The Indian officials have arranged
that the tour of the Ameer will be con-
Quoted with great pomp and ceremony.
In addition to the large retinue that the
Amer brings with him he will have
an imposing escort of British and In
dian soldiery. Nothing will be left un-
done to impress the young ruler with
the strength and power of Great Brit
ain.

Common Sense Forestry.
What are we going to do?" asked
Dr. Hale in his deep voice. I'VE 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
a 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
tney 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"

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 SIS, and
$11 mink pe]t for a dollar, or perhaps
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 we're 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. It Is common.
ly called the pine marten, and at first
glance the only distinguishing feature
between IL and the mink is a spot OF
beautiful orange color on its throat
just under the chin.
A grizzly bear skin is worth $40, II
in the best condition, but of course

Lake Region. Many black bears are
trapped and shot, however. by settlers

She cannot be classed as beautiful,

great faith in her possibilities as an

the requirements of which are far diff

will become famous, for she comes of
a race which has achieved wonders.

Secretary Wilson has more than
once manifested 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,
winch 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
and 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 d.
vision consisted of one forester, an
assistant forester and five clerks and

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

The many trappers operating along
the northern boarder will reap 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 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 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 a year or two ago they were as
high as $500 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 a choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, and a mar
ten pelt from $1S to 500, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin Is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite a few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from So to SO. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to 80 each.
The higher prices paid for furs wNl
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

Congress for forestry of $4,000. Since
then forestry division has been advanc-
ed into a 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 d practi-
cal and scientific basis which will en-
able the cutting of the forest for lum-
Der and at the same time insuring
succeeding "crops" of timber, while
over 100 100000 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 $4,000,
900 acres of public timber land will be
placed in federal reserves.
Secretary Wilson in his opening adj
dress at the recent annual meeting OF
the American Forestry Association in
Washington, uttered clear note Of
warning against the wholesale reduc-
ton 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 longer be ignored by the
people or by our Legislators"
After advocating the broadcast 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 TO-
900 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. 1t
would be a paying, money investment
b the government, and 1t would be a
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 a 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 Michigan and Minnesota were
unbroken wildernesses, and when those
Of the far northwest, in that marvellous
country "where rolls the Oregon" were
terra incognitd. He has seen whole
states denuded Of their valuable timber
and burned over by devastating fires
