Washington, June 29.--Spain, Will
China, has always been cited BY for
eat experts as the "horrible examples
in referring tho forest denudation. All
most total lack Of forest cover ha,
brought devastation from foods in boil
countries, wreaked vengeance on the
farmers BY washing away the fertilg
humus, and lost the eountriey great
national resource.

land, West Virginia, and North Caro-
lima all rolled into one, but its forests
have only three-fourths the extent Of
West Virginia's alone--and much Of
them are merely scrub thickets of the
poorest kind.
The country's population II believed
not 10 exceed one-third Of what 1t once
was, or what is might be again. Much
of tho denuded land is absolutely bar

agriculture once flourished. Hills, whose
appearance Indicate that they once
supported forests, are bald and dry now
and without inhabitants. In some To-
calities peasants, with hammers, pull
veri1e rocks and make little patches Of
soil for gardens.
AT the present time, spain's most
valuable forest product is cork. The
annual cut is 10000 tons, but the day
Is fast approaching when that win b
cut off-and I'LL from want of care.
Enterprising Spaniards are just new try
ing to supply their country with home
made paper, but pulpwood is not to be
had except BY importation. When it ID
realized that pulp paper can be manu-
featured from wood as small ais an inch
in diameter, the almost total denudation
OF the forests in the land OF Dens Is ap-
parent. taking into consideration the
fact that the total yearly cut for this
purpose Is only $500 tons inst about
the amount that an American pulp COM
pany would use in three days.
France is the good example pointed
out when the forester speaks Of refor-
estation. She has covered her barren
places with new forests. restored the

Spain's threshold, she ought to furnish

the country to play for the championship

Stevens and Goodwin from the Lennox

HEAVY SNOW MAY
GIVE WAY TO RAIN

Yesterday will be recorded as the day
of one of the heaviest snow falls and
as the coolest day this winter. To-day
the weatherman perpetrated another Of
his jokes on Wilmingtonians and rain
will probably clear away the blanket of
white that covered the city's house,
tops.
The mercury was as low as four de-
grees on the outskirts of the city yes
terday. In the afternoon the temper
ature mounted, and at 2 o'clock snow
began to fall. Early this morning the
mercury went up and save way for a
probable rainfall
Trolley schedules were given a set
back temporarily. AS a result of snow
and ice on the rails. car No. SO, on the
West Eighth street line Of the Will
mington City Railway, started back
ward down an incline and a collision
with a car closely in its rear was mar
rowly averted. Sweepers were in SER
vice all night on the car lines and the
service this morning was regular.

the forthcoming biennial con-

City Has a Healthy
Growth in Sports

Athletics are having a healthy boom in
Wilmington.
All forms OF legitimate sport have had
revival and the public seems to be
taking an interest in them.
This is. indeed. most gratifying. and
when you dig right down you can find no
reason why Wilmington should not be at
the fore in all athletic lines.
The people are here. the opportunities
are here. but in the way Of encouraging
training In the proper manner there has
been the lack Of adequate gymnasium
facilities. The Turngemeinde, it is true
has gym" and proposes to send a team
to the International events in Germany
this year. The Young Mems Christian
Association will be finished by October
and will give an oppor unity 70 the young
men Of the city to enjoy not only gym"
culture, but the enhancements of shower
bath and swimming pool, which help a
great deal.
But aside from this, wilmlngtonians
have shown vigorous leaning toward
the right kind OF sport recently. Basket
ball. roller polo. target and trap shoot
ing, bowling, walking. all have felt the
stimulus. and the Wilmington horsemen

UNIONS AFTER
STILLINGS' HEAD
Labor Organizations Want
Public Printers SuSpel-
sion Made Permanent
MANY CHARGES HAVE
BEEN MADE AGAINST HIM
By Tine JoURNALs Special wire.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Feo. 6-Flushed
with the victory of having Public
Printer Charles A. Stillings suspended
from the head of the big government
printing office, organized labor will
leave no stone unturned to secure his
permanent removal.
Should the changes, now under in
vestigation, be proved. they viii go
farther. Among the charges will be
alleged violations Of the eight hour
law; the law governing the discharge
Of Union soldiers and widows, and the
law allowing 20 per cent. additional
night work.
Practically the entire fight against
the public printer has been waged by
organized labor. His attempt to make
an open shop out of the printery was
the first thing to arouse resentment.
Gabor organizations all over the cOun-
try came to the aid of the local unions.
and Congress was flooded with peti-
tions for his removal.
Congressman themselves have had
peculiar experiences with Stillings.

his office unless they called during VS.
itors hours. His apology to the House
for this action, that of a promise 10
send a carriage for them when they
cared to come to the Office and to take
them home. made some of the con-
gressmen hopping mad. Newspaper
men have found it easier to see the
President than the public printer.
Should StillinRs be dismissed, the an
nouncement has gone out from labor
leaders that they will paint Washing
ton red. white and blue.
Rumors of indictments Of concerns
which have been furnishing supplies to
the government printing offices to fol-

HAVE
THEIR TROUBLES

HARRISBURG. Feb. 6.-Manager Geo.
W. Heckert is having his troubles lining
up the Harrisburg Tri-state team. The
salary limit is not helping Harrisburg
very much. Last week Bill Pounds said
he would not sign contract for less than
he received last year. and to-day Cal
houns contract was received on which
was notice that unless he was TO get
the same as last year he would remain at
his present position in Plttsburg.
In order TO keep within the limit Harris
burg must get along with twelve players
according to Manager Heckert, and It will
be necessary to double up. Pitchers Will
be signed who can field and a first base
man secured who can so behind the bat.
Manager Heckert said: Z am going TO
live up to the limit. None of the Harris
burg players taken by the big leagues is
under cover and this means that the COM
ing season viii find Harrisburg with prac-
tically an entirely new team unless the
old players agree to come for less money.
Forster and Pattee will not be here.
O'Neil and Campbell are gone for good
and the reinstatement of Doescher viii
mean a loss Of another twirler.
II is very evident that this years cut in
salaries should have been more lenient,
and next year we could go still lower. 1t is
