Reciprocity Matter Will Not Be Taken
Up Soon and May Not Be Signed
This Year

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Ia
1t is said at the state department that
developments in the matter of the con-
clusion of the new reciprocity arrange
ment between America and France are
not expected in the near future or in
deed, until we'll along into the fall. 1t
is even possible that the projected new
arrangement will not be signed this year.
So much public interest has been excited
by the German-American reciprocity ar
rangement concluded last June that it
may be deemed advisable by the admin
stration authorities to allow Congress
at the next session to express it's opin
ion upon a general extension Of the exist
ing reciprocity arrangements before sub
hitting to that body any new arrange
ments other than that with Germany.

AUTO SAVED FROM
FEARFUL PLUNGE.
Hits Carriage and Swerves to Brink of
Precipice on Whitefsh Bay
Road.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. r.
Six persons narrowly escaped serious
injury at $50 o'clock Sunday night on
Whitefish bay road when an automobile
numbered 9S0W overlook and over
turned a two-seated carriage and was
itself only withheld from rushing down
3O0-foot embankment by a ditch and
strong fence.
Four in Carriage
The driver of the carriage was Fritz
'ahrenkampf, a contracting painter at
SIG Davis street, with whom were Hen
ry, Hilda and Amanda Post, 534 Concor
dia avenue. The automobile was driven
by young man who gave his name as
Tony Fehe, and who said that he lived
at Forty-eighth and State streets. He
said that the machine belonged to his
uncle. According to the official record,
NO. 9SOW belongs to Walter V. John
son, 2315 Grand avenue. With him was
young woman who said her home was
i'll Wausau.
Carriage Had No Lights
Mr.. Fahrenkampf was driving in
carriage without lights of any kind to-
ward the bay resort, and had almost
reached ii when an automobile, without
warning, crashed into his rig from be-
hind. tore off the right hind wheel. and
threw the occupants in all directions
about the road The only one of the
four who was hurt was Miss Amanda
Post. whose right knee was considerably
bruised.
Fehe saw the carriage only in time
10 avoid hitting it squarey. He turned
to the. side next the lake and his car
dashed into a ditch and against heavy
fence. which alone prevented it from run
ming down the steep embankment which
there skirts the lake.
Pins Pierce Scalp.
One young woman with him was
thrown violently out upon her head, and
her hatpins were driven into her scalp,
inflicting painful but not serious wounds.
Many people who were driving along
the road at the time stopped and assisted
in clearing up the road. Fahrenkampf
and the Posts were unable to ride home
in their carriage, but the automobile was
not sufficiently damaged to prevent it
from being used.

LAW ENCOURAGES
TREE PLANTING,
TIMBER GROWERS MAY HAVE
TAXES EXEMPT FOR THIR-
TY YEARS.
CANNOT EXCEED FORTY ACRES.
Land Must Not Be Worth More Than
$40 an Acre-The Value May Be
Determined in Advance.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 13.-[ Special
Owners of land in the state of Wis
consin now have an inducement to plant
a portion of their holdings to forest
trees In consideration of the public
benefit to be derived from the planting
and cultivation of timber or forest trees,
a law was recently enacted that permits
the owner of any tract of land in the
state to set apart a portion, not exceed
ing forty acres, for forest culture, and
to be exempted from taxation on that
portion of land for a period of thirty
years from the time of planting. This
privilege extends to corporations and CO.
partnerships as we'll as to individuals.
The exemption right does not apply to
lands that are worth more than $40 an
acre. Nor does it apply to lands that
are situated within two miles of the linn
it's of any Incorporated city or village,
except with the approval OF the stale
forester. The law requires that not less
than 1900 trees shall be planted to each
acre, and that they shall be kept ahye
trees shall have been planted ten years.
the owner may thin them out, but must
leave 600 trees upon each acre.
Obstacles Removed
The great obstacles to the cultivation
of timber are the expense of taxation
and the risk of loss from forest fires
A forest crop requires many years for
it's maturing, and is, therefore, taxed re-
peatedly before it can be protitably har-
vested. There is continual danger from
forest fires. The state has had for d
long time 800 fire wardens, whose duty
it is to prevent and eXtinguish forest
,.h ,,rrh
law recently enacted, it offers further
encouragement to timber culture.
How the Law Operates
The land may be set apart and planted
at any time, and when the town asses
sors are making the annual assessment
statement of the paintings must be
made to them. The assessors must
verify these statements or returns, and
make them the basis of the tax exemp-
ton. Any person applying for an eX-
emption must make in duplicate de-
scription and plat of all lands that have
been planted, and file one copy with
the town clerk of the town in which
the land is located and file the other copy
in the office of the state forester, at
Madison, OH or before the first day of
May of the year in which such eXemp
ton shall first be claimed.
Determine Value in Advance
In some cases the question will arise
whether or not the value of the land ex-
ceeds SO pee acre. Any person in
tending to plant tract of land in forest
trees, according to the provisions of this
law, may have the value Of the land de-
termined in advance by the board of
review of the town i'll which the land is
situated, by filing in the office of the
town clerk "a written application contain
ing a declaration of such intention. a
correct description of the lands included
i'll such tract, and Il request that the
valuation thereof be determined by the
board under the provisions of the law.
