The forest is very open and FOR the

of western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed is found ash. box elder,
cottonwood, elm and birch. Cedar
breaks are also found on precipitous
slopes bordering the streams. Western
yellow pine is the only merchantable
species, however, on the forest and
the average stand per acre is not over

SULLIVAN RESIGNS.
Charles n. Carter High In Favor for
Office of President Of A. A, q.

NEW YORK. November 6-James E.
Sullivan. president Of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union, yesterday declared his res
ignation from that ONCE and the big
stick in track and field sports will give
way to another man. Sullivan has served
his two terms of ofiice and is not seeking
third. 1t is unknown how he will spend
his spare time in future. but 1t Is hardly
likely that he will visit the wilds OF other
lands for big game shooting. For the last
quarter Of a century Sullivan has had an
active career in the cause OF amateur
sport and has acquitted himself with dis
tinction. He has filled every once in the
National A. A. U. and occupied the post
of secretary-treasurer for more than q
decade 1t was through his policy that
the association was transformed from a
hopelessly penniless body q few years
ago to a state OF financial independence
today. Mr.. Sullivan Is president Of the
Metropolitan Association for another term
and he has filled this same once for more
than fifteen years.
Charles II. Carter Of the Boston A. A.
of Boston, Mass. is the man most favored
by the Metropolitan Association to AL
Sullivan's place. and, Of course. he Will
have also the backing Of the New Eng
land Association Both socially and finan.
cially he Is one Of Bostons foremost resi-
dents, and for years no man in the east
has been more interested in the cause Of
amateur athletics. He is one OF the board
of governors OF the A. A. u, and from,
his wide knowledge Of all classes of
sports is pre-eminently fitted for the
presidency.
There is a report from the west that the
Central Association wants Everett c.
Brown Of the Chicago A. A. for president,
and 1t is only fair that the west should
get II this year.
But there is a stumbling block here, FOL
rumor has 1t that Brown does not want
II. A few days ago the South Atlantic
