Congressman Greene says II Hinders
Speakers Boom.
Boston, Jan. 4.-William S. Greene, of
Fall River. six times mayor Of that city,
twice its postmaster, and now serving his
sixth term as representative of the Thir-
teenth district in Congress. passed through
Boston, before returning to the National
Capital. for Mondays resumption of busi-
ness there,
Speaking Of the Presidential outlook,
Mr.. Greene declared that only two things
now stand in the way Of Joseph Cannon S
triumphant nomination and election-his
age and his profanity The former can
not be helped, while the latter should not
really count against him, in Mr.. Greene S
opinion. because it is not real irrever-
ence, but merely habit of speech.
Still, Greene fears that the church peo-
pie would make great handle of it be-
fore the campaign was over, and that II
would really injure Republican chances
of success.

GOLDEN FRUITS FROM NATIONAL
FOREST PRESERVES.
Under Government Management Vsri.
Gus States viii Receive a Total
Of Nearly $5oo,ooo for Public
Schools and Roads.

Figures Just made public by the
forest service show that under the
new law requiring 25 per cent Of the
gross proceeds of national forest bust
ness to be paid over TO the states and
territories in which the forests are To-
Gated, TO be used for public schools
and roads, the last fiscal year will
yield these states S447, ,O6379.
The amounts which 20 to each vary
from S3l3.6S for Arkansas to over $685.
600 for Montana. The small amount
FOR Arkansas is because the two ma.
tional forests in that state were ere.
ated so recently that they have not
yet got fairly under way. Oklahoma,
with one small national forest. re-
ceivcs 1854; Kansas. s644 and the
next smallest after these is Nebras.
ka, with $3.50. Since the forests in
these last two states were set aside
from land naturally destitute of trees.
that the government might try forest
planting on them, it will probably sur
prise most people that they should
yield any revenue at all.
National forest business is chiefly OF
three kinds. grazing, timber sales. and
special uses; the latter comprising the
use of the lesser resources of the for
ests and the permits involving the de-
vclopment of water power. 1t Is in
teresting to note the states in which
the largest volume of each of these
three kinds of business is done and
study the causes which make their
revenues correspondingly larger.
Montana, California and Colorado
lead in timber sales. In the case OF
Montana and California this fact is
mainly due TO the accessibility of the
timber in the national forests. The
fact that the timber can be readily
reached and quickly transported to
market has created heavy demand
which is reflected in the volume OF
business. Colorado is almost absolute
ly dependent upon the national forest
timber for its mining operations. Each
of these states will receive over $780,
900 from the proceeds of the forests.
Idaho. Utah and Oregon head the
list of the states in grazing business.

A TERRAPIN FARM

10 every small boy in the country, as
well as many of his elders, to add Mr..
Terrapin to his available assets when
ever and wherever he has the temerity
to show himself.
So great has been the raid on the
terrapin in all our inland waters in
recent years that experts say that, un-
less something can be done to renew
the supply and rcstock the streams, it
will be but a comparatively few years
before a Pennsylvania terrapin will
be as rare as violets in December.
In an effort to avert this catas-
trophe in turtledom, Commissioner
Meehan instructed Supt. Jerry r. Birk-
hous, of the state hatchery at Torres
dale. to start some experiments with
these hard-shelled, highly priced river
dwellers, and see II the state can re-
stock its waters with terrapin as 1t has
done so successfully with fish.
Thus it happens that some score or
more of the biggest and healthiest
members of the family OF terrapin are
living a life OF ease and luxury In
probably the most sumptuous and aris-
tocratic surroundings that ever fell to
the lot of members OF the race OF
turtle!" These specimens were Sc
lected with the utmost care from the
best streams In the state, and are sup
posed to be of just about the right age
for propagation. II care and attention
can bring results, the fruits of the de-
partment's efforts ought to be most
gratifying, for no herded stock OF a
king was ever tended and nursed and
fed with more solicitude than Supt.
Birkhous bestows upon these lucky
turtles.
A visit to the Torresdale hatchery Is
full of interest. The location itself Is
picturesque and historic. Situated
Just beyond the big city filtration
plant on the banks of the river, the
hatchery occupies what was once
known as the Harrison estate, In its
day one of the show places of the Del
aware and the site of the noted Har-
rison spring. On these grounds is now
located "Terrapin Farm" while thou
! sands of flashing goldfish, leaping
bass, silvery perch and darting sun
fish inhabit a chain OF miniature
lakes under the shades of beautiful
grove, where once in bygone days
the beaux and bellies of Philadelphia
frequented.
The terrapin family now occupying
their farm on the Harrison estate
most certainly find their lines cast In
pleasant places. Inside their inclos-
ure is everything to make a turtle
happy-the deepest pools, the mud.
diest mud, the rankest weeds and the
warmest and sandiest kind OF a sand
bank for use as a sun parlor.
This is perhaps the first attempt
ever made to breed terrapin for stock.
