TOWN SAVED BY FOREST
There Have Been Instances Wherein
Planting Of Trees Has Done
the Work.

Baby forests are some OF Uncle
Sans pets. Successful forest planting
has been done for some time in Nebras-
ka. and now a new nursery is being
planted in California near Santa Bar
bara. Seeds of trees suited to the ell
mate there will be grown and in about
two years the seedlings will be ready
to be transplanted to their permanent
locations. The upper water shed OF
the Santa Ynez river now is quite bare
or sparsely covered with chaparral.
This is the water shed which supplies
the town of Santa Barbara with water.
and it will be the first scene of attempt
at reforesting. Good forest growth is
essential both to preserve the water
and to avoid the washing down OF silt
| If unchecked this would ruin the res
ervoir. The enterprise Is one phase cl
the national endeavor to induce and te
| conserve the rainfall as well as to dis
tribute the resulting water by the irri
cation work. Italian irrigation ha:
been termed the most economical II
, utilizing water supply, and the mos
highly developed system Of admins
trative control. midas system Is salt
to illustrate examples Of irrigation OF
the largest scale, and Americas yield
the most rapid development.

One very practical woman who con-

NATIONALITY ESTABLISHED

Some Uncles Who Were

There might be room for argument
over the proposition that the trade OF
profession makes the man; but in GER
tain cases there could be no doubt
about the relation of calling and ex,
traction, says Youths Companion.
A worker among the children OF
New York's slums was endeavoring to
get together class of boys for tie
singing teacher at her settlement.
Happening upon little boy hanging
about a corner fruit stand, the settle
ment worker accosted him, and ex-
planning about the class, asked him II
he would not like to join. The child
grinned and seemed willing.
, Then the lady espied another boy
still smaller, whom she had not no
ticed at first. He, too, was hangl2s
] about the fruit stand, and evidently
belonged with the other.
! ooh, and your little friend there.
she said, pleasantly, wouldn't he llA'

The first child's coloring spoke II
disputably of Italy, although his speecl
smacked of the Bowery. The smaIe
| boys hair was also dark. When n
reply came to her question, the lad
went on talking, trying to ingratlat
herself.
your friend is Italian, too?" she re
marked, interrogatively.
At this the little italian stared mar
at the lady, then broke into huer
speech.

Columbia, Feb. 9.--The house to-
day passed the ten-hour bill as it
came from tho senate without making

The mills were willing for this bill
to pass if the measure provided for
it to go into effect for siXty-two
hours on January |, 1908, and sixty
hours on January l, 1909, and would
not reduce wages if this is done. If
the time is now reduced at once from

operatives will surely suffer.
The prcvisous question was called
on the motion to kill the bill. The
ayes and nays were called and there
were only II votes against the bill.

Mr.. Frost moved to amend the bill
by making the 81 hours provision go
into effect January l, 1908, and the
G0-hour provision go into effect on
january |, 1908. The yeas and hayes
wore called on the motion to table
this amendment and the amendment
was tabled by the vote of SO to 2S.

by adding proviso that nothing
therein should prevent any mill from

the SANDER suit of Mrs. Amanda

ton she asks of the defendant the
sum of $4,000 and all costs.
Mrs. Moore was on the stand Sat
