THE AMAZING EUCALYPTUS.
May Solve the Problem of Profit in
Timber.

From the Topeka STATE Journal
clifford Pincnot, the national forester,
has set the people Of Southern California
TO thinking about the eucalyptus tree, and
# Is an absorbing subject for all the peo-
pie Of the country who realize the ire
meudous problem OF reforestIng this coun-
try.
In arid and seni-tropic California IT
appears that certain profits narrow for
estry to practically one proposition. the
planting Of eucalyptus trees
The reason for this is plain The
eucalyptus tree viii thrive and make an
amazing growth with q minimum OF rain
OF other moisture. and when grown. the
eucalyptus becomes extremely valuable as
timber. These being the condluOns-ease
and rapidly of production, and great
value Of the product-it follows. Of course.
that the forestry idea In California IS cen
tered on eucalyptus.
The profits, as figured on eucalyptus
culture are certainly and cheerfuily
amazing Tue rule, It appears. IS 10 plant
tie trees eight feet apart An acre Of
ground being 209 feet square. viii, there

respondent says: There are trees near
Bakersfield thirty years old which would
bring $50 on the stump for the lumber
they contain" ~ that rate one acre Of
eucalyptus trees would be worth. thirty
years after planting. S6s.00o. This is al
the rate Of $. .638 % per year for one acre

team can care for 100 acres Of growing

taking the figures as they are furnished
the 100 acres IN thirty years would have
a value OF SIG. 900 60.

Aftermath Of OIympis.

The president Of the international

Coupe-tin- has sent a congratulatory let
ter 10 Lord Desborough, chairman OF the
British Olympic Association, upon the
general success Of the recent Olymplad
in London
It was the fourth Of the series. and It
was perhaps the worst-rnanaged and pro-
ductive Of the greatest amount of III
feeling and dissatisfaction. but 1t was
far from being a failure. Baron de ecu

IN the current issue OF Uncle Remus'
Magazine the President writes an ar
ticle in which he proposes Julia Ward
Hove's Battle Hymn Of the Republic"
as the national hyraa for the people. He
recognizes, as does every one else, the
fact that the most popular Of airs is

eyes OF America viii turn to-day toward
Cuba. where. in accordance with the pro
gramme announced by our government
several months ago, provincial and mu-
nicipaI elections win be held The Presi-
dental election will follow in December.
Every preparation has been made, we
believe, for the conduct Of the elections
to-day. Arrangements have been made
to assure the people of Cuba an abso-
Iutely honest vote and the rule OF the
majority. What political foresight can
do 10 check fraud has been done The
electoral lists have been revised and the
people Of Cuba go 10 the polls to-day
knowing fuH well that the right Of fran
chfse which has been granted 10 them
may be exercised freely and fully.
Il is gratifying 10 know from Gov. Ma
COON that the governmental outlook IN
Cuba is promising The governor points
out that during the three months Of ac-
tive political campaigning in Cuba By
the three political parties the laws have
been carefully observed and aoquiesced IN
by the people. He declares he has every
reason to expect a peaceful election
Il remains 10 be seen by actual expert
ence whether the Cubans have so far
progressed as 70 be willing 10 abide by
majority rule. It cannot be denied that
the Cubans have much Of the South
American spirit Of fmpatlencs at the
polls. and there is. Of course. some danger
that there may be revolt and discomfort
if the elections do not go 10 suit certain
parties. It is in reality a crucial test
