A MONUMENT of Central George b.
Mcclellan was unveiled in Washington
this evening. General Mcclellan was
regarded by many soldiers in both the
federal and Confederate armies as the
ablest general who fought on the north
eru side. When he WIS in command Of
the federal forces, the Confederate army
WIS in full vigor and better equipped
than at sny other time during the war,
and would have whipped Grant or any
other general who might have confront
ed it. General Mcclellan was not in
favor with the administration and his be-
ing a democrat made his position that
much more uncomfortable for him. He
was early in the war relieved of his COM
mand which was given in turn to Pope,
Hooker, Burnside, Meade and Grant,
neither of whom could compare with Nc
Clelan as a military genius. Now, many
wears after his death, his true worth is
beginning 70 dawn on the northern
people.

ferent requests, but holding the larger
part of his real estate intact for the
benefit of one of the sons of his dead

in the will is said to be one OF SO, 900, =

TIE WEALTH OF OUR FORESTS.
Lumbermen Through Carelessness
Destroy Fine Specimens.

In recent years there has been much
agitation concerning the waste Of the
timber of the United States, and there
have been many promises that the
control of it should be handed over
to the federal and the State authori-
ties. The division of forestry OF the
Department of Agriculture has
wrought much good in this direction,
but much remains to be accomplished.
The most distressing feature OF the
waste is mostly due to selflshness and
want of foresight.
The lumbermen have been working
Tor years to lay waste the forests. anu
in spite of this there are thousands
OF acres of Woodland which they have
not thought worthy of their attention
that affords a rich field for investi-
cation. The trees which the Ium-
bermcn have taken are mostly the
coniterous trees, the sugar pine and
the redwood. And so eager have they
been in demolishing these trees that
they have ruined superb specimens or
trees which were of far greater vaIue
for cabinet purposes.
Ore of these is the laurel. 1t grows
Oh the hiIlsides wherever there is an
underground stream OF water sufficient
to moisten its foliage. In the valleys
1t grows still larger, and also along
