THE REAL BENEFITS
OF FOREST RESERVES

Among all those servants placed at
the disposal of mankind by nature,
none are more useful than are the
forests. The rivers and streams are
controlled and regulated by them;
climate and rainfall are equalized; /;
wood, lumber and fuel supplied; floods,
avalanches and soil erosion prevented; !;
the winds moderated; and the devasta-
tion of fertile tracts of country check.
ed. Indeed, the past experience of the
human race has positively demonstrated
that were it not for the forests the
most fertile and prosperous countries
would soon be transformed into desert
wastes, unfit for human habitation.

The forest question involves the two
great questions of wood and water.
Wood is prime necessity. Our popu-
laton is rapidly increasing, while ous
wood supply is more rapidly diminish
ing. We are consuming wood three
or four times as fast as our forests
are producing it. Unless radical changes
are soon made in American methods Of
forestry, a wood famine will assuredly
ensue. Forest cover on hilltops and
mountains is indispensable in holding
back rain water, and maintaining equ'
able stream flow. Denuded hillsides
mean an alienation of destructive
floods and droughts.

Forest destruction has reduced fer
tile lands to deserts. The desolation
of the Karst, high plateau north OF
Trieste, and now one of the most parch-
ed and barren districts in Europe, was
caused by the cutting of its woods to
build the navies of Venice. In Wis
consin veritable desert has been pro-
duced by forest destruction. cele
brated French traveller Largeau, after
a careful study of the desert of Sahara,
believes that desert to have been, at
one time, well wooded and watered,
and to have been reduced to its pres
ent condition solely by the folly and
improvidence of man. He expresses the
opinion that even now much of it could
be restored to fertility.

REV. PADDOCK
 TALKS ON NEGT,Erm
Points to the Apostle Paul as the cr... Man of Earnestness and Right
 Living.

Friday evening at the Cbristio.. church Rev. J. L. Haddock preached very strong sermon on the subject oe neglect, using for his text a nart ,s the second chapter of Hebrews;
 Therefore we ought to give Ill more earnest heed to the things wbic, we have heard, lest at any time wo should let them slip. For if the wo,s spoken by angels was staadfasr and every transsression and disobedipnon received just recompense of reward, how shall we escape, if We neglect so great salvation; which at the frs ho. gan to be spoken by the Lord, and wac confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
 Mr. Paddock said that one th;na that is attractive about Paul's writinos and bis life is that everything he evar said or did was characterized hv earnestness. He was one who alWavv seemed to say, ''I will try to live speak and act today as though this was the last day I ever expected to liye.' And he had a message that was so full of beauty and grandeur that he wanted every body to beljeva it.
 The speaker said he did not fall ouf with a man because he differs from him and that he tries to use not sin gle sentence to offend any one; that he did not fall out with a religious neighbor who puts forth what he be- lieves with all his soul, because if he doesn't believe it he ought to QafS if he does believe it, then this WoAa was fought for and gained that man( unhampered might worship God &C., cording to the dictates of his con- science and therefore we ought to be tolerant toward each other.
 MT. Haddock, referring to his text, said that it was a dangerous thing for man to hear the gospel if he is not willing to put it into practice.
 He compared Gods method of deal- ing with his people under the old dis pensation with that now, pointing out that if every transgression and dis obedience then received a just recom- pense of reward, how then shall we escape, if we neglect so great salya- ton.

Largest Fish Hooked by Lady
Angler.

TO Mrs. F. S. Lycan of this city
undoubtedly belongs the title of
champion lady angler among the
many summer visitors who have
resided in Bemidji this season.
Mrs. Lycan has the honor of hav-
ing, single-handed and alone, hooked
and landed a big pickerel, measuring
thlrty-eight inches in length and
tipping the scales at eleven and
three-fourths pounds. ..--
Mrs. Lycan was trolling from a
boat, near the city dock, Thursday
evening, when the big fish was
hooked. The pickerel gave Mrs.
Lycan quite tussel, but she held
fast and landed it in the boat.
The fish was big one, and is one
OF the prize hook-and-line catches of
the season.

not know.
I'VE have made every effort to
get report from Mr.. Speelman, but
without avail, and we have decided
to go ahead without his great
presence.
Our program for the reunion on
the first day of the fair has been
quite definitely outlined, and we shall
stick to it, and do not care for any
of Mr.. Speelman's advice in the
matter.
The program will be as already
published in the Pioneer, except
that Mrs. P. L. Knappen of Ten
strike, one of the veteran old settlers
of the county will deliver the address
of welcome. The rest will be the
same: L. G.. Pendergast will respond,
and there will be a speech by Con-
gressman' Steenerson, and also by
G. w. Stanton of International Falls.
Anyone who pays so cents to
either Henry Stechman, l.. G. Pen

will be good for admission to the
