NOTE OF WARNING AND URGES

Washington.-"In twenty years the

ings. at the present rate Of cutting, will
be exhausted, although 1t is possible
that the growth Of that period might
extend the arrival Of this time another
five years"
This Is the announcement made by
Clifford Pinchot, the government for
ester, who has Just returned from six
months inspection trip, on which he
Travelled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning Mr.. Pinchot
urged that the danger of the situation
should not be underestimated. He said
that the United States uses more tim
Der per capita than any other country.
and that every man, woman and child
would be effected. He decried the pol
Icy of discounting the future of the
country by failure to protect the nat
ural resources and he advised every
one who has not already done SO to
read President Roosevelt's speech at
Memphis on this general subject.
About one.fifth of the forest area OF
the country is in government reserves,
fact that as privately owned timber
lands are better than the government
reserves, as a general rule. the govern
ment does not control one-fifth OF the
timber supply.
The forest service will ask Congress
for more money and more men in or
der to extend the service. and will push
the work of reforesting the denuded
timber lands. Mr.. Pinchot says, how
ever, that 1t is utterly beyond the pos
sibility OF the service to meet the situ-
alton and prevent serious trouble. One
hope entertained is the Appalachian
forest, and an effort will be made to
protect this and promote the growth
there.

China's Big Task.


The Chinese government is institut-
ing various reforms, and in some cases
is employing drastic means. With re-
gard to indulgence in opium. for In
stance. the government appears to
have resolved fully that the habit
must go, and is prepared to adopt se-
we're measures to effect the purpose.
Regulations are now in force against
the use Of the drug. and the govern
ment evidently is convinced that the
law is not invariably complied with.
An imperial edict condemns several
princes and others high In office for
disregarding the law, and suspends
functions. Some leniency is shown to
men fairly well on in years, as those
of 60 years or over who have acquired
the habit are given reasonable time in
which to discontinue it. But II they,
within the prescribed period, and others
within a shorter time do not stop using
opium. all hands will be fired from
the office and lose their rank as well.
OF course as regards the smaller fry
and the ordinary subjects. all caught
at hitting the pipe" or otherwise in
dulging in the drug will be dealt with
in exemplary fashion. This is reform
with a stern front, and 1t remains to
be seen whether 1t will succeed com.
pletely, says Troy Times. The govern
ment can at least plead great provoca-
tion. The opium habit, which. by the
way, was introduced from elsewhere.
has powerful hold upon the Chinese
people. and its effects are most de-
plorable and demoralizing. The better
sentiment of the world will sympathize
with the Peking government in Its de-
sire to stamp out the evil.

BoSTON'S HUMILIATION.
New Orleans Now Second in Combined
 Exports and Imports.

Boston, March 15.- In a detailed statement of exports and imports at the port of Boston for the year 1906 is sued to-day by the Boston Chamber of Commerce Secretary Daniel D. Morse says that the showing is almost hu- initiating" The gain of only 4.9 per cent. in the combined totals of exports over the previous year is smaller per centage of gain than that of any other Atlantic or gulf port. The exports from from Boston in 1908 amounted to $99, 370016, an increase of $5,572,129 or 5.9 per cent. over those of 1905. The inn ports totalled $11O, ,SSS, gro, an increase of $4,267 ,972, or four per cent. over those of the previous year. Boston thus loses the position she has long held as the second port of the country in the mat ter of combined exports and imports, New Orleans succeeding to that place, with New York at the head of the list, Boston becoming third. Boston re- mains second in imports and fifth in exports.

NO WORD FROM R. R. HEADS.
President Will Not Invite Them to
 White House.


 Washington, March 15.--At a late hour tonight President Roosevelt had received no word from the four rail- road presidents who were suggested by J. P. Morgan, on the eve of his depart ure for Europe, as .conferees to discuss with the president the railroad situa- tion and to urge MT Roosevelt to take some action to "allay the public anx- iety" as to the administrators atti- tude. The president will not invite Messrs. McCrea, Hughitt, Newman and Mellen to the White House, but it they ask for an appointment the president will be glad to receive them.
 The embarrassed position in which the railroad magnates have been placed is due to the fact that MT. Morgan ar ranged the conference with the presi- dent without consulting the officials for whom he asked the audience. It is known that within the last few days President McCrea, of the Pennsylva- mia, communicated with the president and made 1t clear that, while he did not want to sr2w any discourtesy, he did not want to be placed in the atti- tude of rushing to the White House to make a plea for executive clemency. Since so much publicity [las been given the proposed conference, it is the gen. eral belief in official circles here to- night that the railroad presidents will decide to keep the appointment which MT. Morgan arranged for them.

Regulation Regarding Tuberculosis

 Venezuela Will be Represented.
 Hartford, March 15-According to the monthly bulletin of the state board of health issued to-day there were 1,S74 deaths from tuberculosis last year only 523 were reported to the health au- thorities Commenting upon this fact Secretary Dr. Joseph H. Townsend says; "This shows how poorly the reg ulation is obeyed, and 1t should be more generally enforced. A great many objections to this are constantly being raised, but it is wrong to infer that be- cause a case of phthisis is reported, the physician has in any way violated the confidence of his patient or subjected him to any unnecessary annoyance. This is far from the intention. No pla- card is every placed on the house, and the records of reported cases are open ed only to officials authorized to in spect them.
 In the past almost entire families have been carried off by tuberculosis, one member after another, through ig- IiOldhSO Ol US CUntdSlOuS nature anu the belief that it was inherited It is now known that heredlty plays but a small part in the causation of this dis ease, and that infection cannot take place without the germ, and if you kill all the germs there can be only a min imum amount of tuberculosis"
 By mortality reports received there were 1,509 deaths during the month of February. This was 1S5 less than in January and 274 more than in Febru- ary of la tyear, and 326 more than the average number of deaths during Feb ruary for the five years preceding it.
 The death rate was IFS for the large towns for the small towns 1S.S and for the whole state 1S.1.
 The deaths reported from infectious diseases were 3oS, being 20 per cent. of the total mortality.
