TREE PLANTING.
On Abandoned Farms in New England
Told About.

Corporations and private citizens
throughout New England are beginning
TO realize the opportunities watch this
region offers for profitable forest plant
ing, This year about $500 acres have
been planted in the six New England
states by private citizens In addition, a
number OF water companies have adopted
a forest policy. The largest plantation
OF the character, which comprises over
1000 acres, belongs TO the Metropolitan
Water and Sewerage Board OF Clinton,
Massachusetts,
One of the most important phases of
reforestation in New England is that OF
planting abandoned farms and other
waste land, which at present is bringing
no income. In Massachusetts, this waste
land amounts to ten per cent. OF the
toal area OF the state, while the latest
reports in Rhode Island shows 22S aban-
doned farms. 1t is this type Of land
which is now being planted. Wealthy
men here see a good investment, and a
number OF them have planted tracts OF
at least so acres eaeh this year, with the
intention of increasing the size Of the
plantations annually. One owner in
Massachusetts, who started a white pine
plantation OF 63 acres this year, expects
to plant so acres annually tor the next
ten years, while others intend 10 plant
tracts of various sizes ranging upwards
TO 200 acres apiece next spring.
White pine is, Of course, the species
most generally planted, but other species
which make excellent growth and are
being used more and more are Norway
spruce, for timber and pulpwood; chest
nut, for telegraph poles, posts, ties and
lumber; red oak, for piles and ties; black
locust for fence posts, and sugar maple
for variety of products.
II is not only ON these tracts Of waste
land that planting is beginning to play
such an important part. The practical
farmer in this region now realizes that
the cheapest and best way to get the
special wood products which he needs ON
his farm, is by planting the trees lie
realizes, too, the protective value of
plantations which serve as shelterbelts
and winbreaks. Altogether, this region
offers excellent opportunities for tree
planting.

of the two events illustrates the oppor

Meeting at Republican Head
quarters Tonight to Start
Campaign Rally.
PLENTY OF DRUM NOISE.
IMPRoMPTU SPEECHES TO BE
GIVEN AND FIRST CALL TO PAR
TY CAUSE WILL BE SOUNDED IN
GOOD OLD FASHIONED WAY.

The Young Mems Republican Club
will meet at 7:30 o'clock this evening
at headquarters, second floor, Mason
ic Temple, instead of at the court
house as announced yesterday. There
is every indication of a record break
ing attendance, and barrels of enthus-
iasm are guaranteed.
The Wayne County Drum and Bugle
Corps will be a feature of the meeting.
This organization, formerly identified
with the club, now patronized by the
entire Wayne county committee, was
recently re-equipped with fine new uni
forms, drums and bugles. 1t has prac-
tised faithfully and now has music
and drills to a point nearing perfec-
ton. The Seventh and Fourth Ward
drummers will also make their appear
ances and the Riverdale corps, recent
ly organized by enthusiastic colored
Republicans will make it's debut.
There will be an impromptu pro-
gram beginning at 8 o'clock. There
will be no attempt at Formally and 1t
is probable that every section of the
city, and every class of voters will be
represented in the list of talks.
From the fact that the roster Of the
Taft marching squad, for which UNI.
brellas and hats have been ordered,
will be made up, it is desired that
those interested in this feature be
present and enlist with the Secre-
tary, Paul Comstock. AS soon as the
membership of the squad is known,
the insignia will be given out and
drills will be started. 1t is believed
with a brief effort the squad will be
ready to appear in public as is in
tended, at every large political gath
ering to be held in the county for the
next two months.

What Lincoln Said When Harvey
Ended . Two Hours Talk.
The late Hon. Charles w. Slack told
the following Of the Hon. Peter Har-
.vey, the friend and biographer of Dan

small voice and that pomposity of man.

prided himself upon his friendship with
the great expounder."
The first year Of the War Of the Re-
bellion he went to Washington, and on
his return was asked how he liked
President Lincoln. ~
"Well,'' he said, "Mr. Lincoln IS a
very singular man. 1 went on to see
him, and told him that l had been an
intimate personal friend Of Daniel
Webster; that I had talked with him
so much on the affairs of the country
that felt perfectly confident l could
tell him exactly what Mr.. Webster
would advise in the present crisis, and
thereupon 1 talked to Lincoln for two
solid hours. telling him just what he
should do and what he should not do,

CANS FINAL BATTLE
So He Declared After Being
Whipped Again by Young
Battling Nelson.
VETERAN BADLY PUNISHED.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-Battling
Nelson clinched his claim to the light
weight pugilistic championship by de-
feating Joe Cans for the second time
at the CoIma arena yesterday after
noon. The fight ended in the twenty
first round when Cans beaten down
by a succession of blows from his stur-
dy conqueror,. failed to get upon his
feet within the count of ten.
The veteran colored fighter was Sc
verely punished, but the champion too
bore the marks of battle. From the
first clang of the gong to the last
moment Nelson forced the fighting,
never giving ground and gradually
battered down hfs opponent.
Cans succumbed in the twenty-first
round after being numerically trounc-
ed. Nelson in this round rained right
and left blows to the jaw and body and
Cans sank to the floor. Mechanically
the now defeated fighter watched Re-
fierce Eddie Smith wave his hands, ap-
parently too far gone to hear him
count.
Not until the count of ten was fin
ished did Cans, his face terribly cut
and his eyes CLASSY, attempt to rise.
He realized however, that 1t was too
late and feebly declared: Il have posi-
lively fought my last battle"

glasses are an aid to hearing as well

Taft speaking dates in Indiana. There
is now no prospect, however. that
his Indiana engagements will be
known before the first Of October.
The state committee, it seems, is COM
PEELED to await the action of the nat
ional committee. which will do the as
signing for the nominee. At present
there is nothing more tangible than a
promise that Taft will surely come
into this state and make a few speech
es In the more important cities. 1t
is not unlikely that his speaking tour
Of Indiana will be made more extern
sive than was originally intended.
Kern Free to Campaign.
John w. Kern has finally shaken
off his legal engagements and will
devote his entire time to the cam
paign from now on until the day of
the election. Mr.. Kern was to have
appeared in two places Wednesday.
One of these was Peoria, ILL.,, and the
other was Greenfield, Ind, where the
Rhodius annulment of marriage case
was called for trial. Mr.. Kern asked
for continuance of the case, pleading
that he was at present interested in
saving his country and Judge Mason,
feeling that the candidate should not
be handicapped in his worthy object,
continued the case until November.
1t SO happened that another lawyer in
the case. who is i'll. could not appear,

tinuance.

1t has developed that the republi-

they express it. They intend putting
the democrats in stew right on the
jump, and it will be done in this way:
When the extra session meets, the To-
cal option bill will be presented in the
senate by a republican. and in the
house by a democrat. 1t is said that
the democrat has been picked, but his
name Is not given out. This will be
embarrassing indeed--for the demo.

His Influence Upon the Foreign Pol
icy OF This Country.
The Importance of Secretary Sew
ards influence in the domestic affairs
of the United States during Johnson's
administration has probably been ez-
aggerated, but it would be hard to ex-
aggerate the Importance of what he
achieved and of what he initiated In
his own proper field of diplomacy. His
chief, occupied as he was with fierce
controversies over other subjects,
found, we may well suppose, but little
time for foreign relations. He does not
appear to have interfered with policies
which We're already adopted or to have
initiated any new policies of his own.
Seward must therefore be held respon-
sibie to degree somewhat unusual
for the conduct CT the delicate negotia-
tions, involving very far reaching con-
sequences, which the war gave rise to-.
1t was he who first presented America
to Europe in that attitude Of conscious
strength which the thorough establish
ment of our nationality at last enabled
US to take. 1t was he who reasserted
effectively, yet without any arrogance,
our traditional stand in reference to
the Latin republics to the south of Us.
1t was he who, facing westward, &C
complished an expansion of our sys-
tenn into a region never contemplated
until his day by those who guided our
destinies and turned our thoughts up
on the shores Of the Pacific as field
for American trade and American in
fuence. - William CARROT Brown in

HOSPITAL BOARD
SEEKING MONEY
Asks County Council to Delve
Down and Bring Up a
$4,000 Donation.
GIVEN NO ENCOURAGEMENT
APPROPRIATIONS MADE FOR SEW.
ERAL BRIDGES IN VARIOUS SEC
TONS OF coUNTY-FiLL SUP.
PLIES DONATED.

John l.. Rupe, Henry w. Deuker and
Adam H. Bartel, representing the
Reid Memorial hospital, appeared be-
fore the county council at it's closing
session yesterday afternoon and asked
that an appropriation of $4,000 be
made for the institution Such ap-
preparations must first be considered
by the commissioners, but as the hos
pital officials failed to pursue this
course the council did not give the
matter much consideration. 1t is I'M
derstood that the commissioners are
not favorably disposed to the county
assisting in the maintenance Of the
hospital and it is improbable that the
council, as has been suggested, will
meet in special session to make the
appropriation.
The hospital representatives pointed
out that the city of Richmond has
been making annual appropriations of
$4,000 to meet the expense of treat
ment for the worthy sick poor of the
city. AS many worthy sick poor of
the county are annually given medi-
Cdl anu Sul SiCdi dtlcIllOu d. Tic uOS-
pital, the county would be justified in
making an appropriation to assist in
the maintenance of the institution, ar
gued the hospital officials. 1t was
suggested that the various townships
could meet the expenses of their sick
poor cared for at the hospital, but
doubt was entertained as to the au-
thority the county government had in
making appropriations for this pur-
pose.
The county council made the fol-
lowing appropriations for bridges to
be built next year: Whitewater
bridge, Franklin township, $4,000;
Pierce, Jefferson, $4,000; Mamie Oler.
Clay, $4,000; Creitz, Clay and Perry,
$4,000; Armentrout, Harrison, $4,000;
Dry Branch, Harrison, 5000; Folen,
Harrison, $500; Williamsburg, Greene,
$4,000; Lick Creek, Center, $1,000;
Potter, Center, $3.50.
1t is provided that these appropria-
lions shall not include the cost of
making fills or approaches. In nearly
every case where a bridge is to be
built, the property owners have agreed
to meet this expense.
