INNOVATION IN.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
Japanese Government Will EN-.
tablish Sawmills and Make
Lumber on Own Account.

Japan is the only government in the
world which takes upon itself the
working of its lumber business, Accord
ing to Consul General Henry b. Miller,
or Yokohama. In a report in which he
quotes the director Of the Japanese
forest bureau.
The mikado's government has set
apart a quarter OF a million dollars to
build sawmills and lumber roads, man
ufacture umber in remote districts,
and pu it on the market. Except rail-
road ties for Manchuria roads, the
Japanese government exports no TIM
Der: 1t is all needed at home.
Many governments in different parts
of the world own forests, but as a rule,
the timber is sold where it stands.
and the buyer cuts and markets it.
That is the way it. is done in the ma
tional forests of this country. The
poses to carry on all parts of the work..
from planting the trees to selling the
lumber after 1T has been manufactured.
The report says:
Recently an official in the depart
ment of agriculture and commerce was
sent to the United States, and others
to Europe for the inspection of the
timber trade and forestry administra-
ton. A commission vas also sent to
India for the same A special
list on forestry in the same department
is to be sent to South America shortly
on a similar errand. The latter will
thoroughly study the rubber planta-
tons, and, if possible, bring back roots
or seeds for planting on the BoninN
and I4uchu groups.
The Japanese department Of agricul-
ture and commerce., which established
a sawmill in Akita prefecture in 1906,
making Il grant of 500, 900 in that yea.
and Sl5o,000 in 1907 to develop the
business, has obtained a vote of $780,.
600 toward the FUND for the extension
of the lumber business, aud new gov
eminent mills are to be established in
Nagano and Aomori procedures. Be-
fore the end of this year there will be
zine timber mills in all in Akita, 40
mort, Miyagi, and Kumamoto prefec-
lures, all worked by the government.
In many forests reserved by the gov
there is a very heavy supply
Of timber, but these forests are re-
mote from railways, rivers or seaports,
and much expenditure is necessary for
opening roads or constructing other
means of transport in order to make
such timber available.
"District forestry Offices WILL, bow
ever, not work mills regardless of
profit, as strong competition is going
on among them. 1t is stated that the
government mills will only supply their
products to merchants in Japan, and
the works are not yet progressed to
such n stage that the ~vernmen can
export direct. So far, the Export of
timber by the government mills has
been confined to supplying sleepers to
the South Manchurian Railway COM
pany."

NO CLOSED DOOR in THE EAST

That there is no closed door in Korea
is the positive assertion made not only
by officials, but by american business
men who are doing a large business
IN Korea, and this view is borne out
by the statement made recently al
Chemulpo by Thomas Samnons, h
American consul general, who said:
Korea will find it," 1t is a fact. how
ever, thai Japan by reason of her geo.
graphical position, has the dvantas

of the situation is that japanese energy

degree of these qualities displayed by

THE TALE OF A TROUT.

In my childhood days on a farm in
Vermont, my chief sport was in fishing
for speckled trout. says the Boston
Journal. My enthusiasm led me to
penetrate remote regions and have
no doubt l lshed up mountain streams
to this day new to other fishermen.
This was clearly proved to me last
summer, when, after an absence OF 80
years, l spent my vacations in the
country and tried out my latest rod
and reel on the brooks whose every
hole and turn were once SO familiar.
While fishing up the stream beyond
the sight or sound of human ken /
espied a mammoth trout suspended
over the water. Upon examination the
trout proved to be hanging from a
cheap line, at the end of which was
attached a pin hook.
Instantly 1 recalled, as one does so
easily recall the happenings of boy
hood days, the day when a fish broke
off the end of my pole and escaped
with hook and line. The end of the
pole had become entangled in a tree,
, 1908-06-18

and as the tree grew taller the free
dom Of the trout decreased, until II
was finally lifted from the water. MY
dear mother is not living to identify
the pin which 1 took from her pir
case, but can vouch for the pole and
line.
The strange thing about the appar
emily lifeless trout was that it came to
life when dropped into water. 1 con
cluded it had adjusted itself to chang
ing environment and had borne the
appearance of life only when the
swollen brook had lifted the water
high enough to cover 1t.
I now have the trout in a private
fish pond, and, although the water
therein is pure and ever changing, in
dry weather the fish appears to be
dead, while a rainy day or two will re
vive it to its normal activity.
Any one doubling this story may
call and see the trout. Call some
rainy day, and again some dry day, SC
that you may appreciate the moods
and caprices of this unusual trout.

The Right knowledge.
oh, yes, this world wants skill in
dealing with material things, but 1t
wants something else. This world
wants its young men to know how
rightly to lay and construct, but it
want something else. What this old
world wants 10Y more than anything
else, 1t seems to me. is something or
otner that will go into the heart of a
boy, that will compel him, as a man,
always to do every portion of his work
up to the full measure of skill which
he possesses and to do 1t honestly,
every hour. You will recall what | said
TO you concerning values and rela.
tons, and the message in the object of

not the thing itself, but it is the mes
sage which the thing has for you, that

The Eternal Message.

that every part of it every minute of
his life comes to him with a final mes.

Prof. Towar's Address.

Miss Cecilia Augspurger delighted
the audience with a sympathetic rem
dition of "Tannhauser, Fantastic by
Raft. Prof. j.. d. Towar, who delivered
the address to the graduates, spoke
briefly but with much power and feel
ing, a thought or two being as roi-
lows:
Members of the graduating class,
you stand today as the most finished
product of the state university, and
viewed as a product of the university,
like the products of any great factory,
your caree of usefulness Is just about
to begin, and this Is truly your COM
mcncement day. On behalf of the fac
ulty of the University of Wyoming,
congratulate you on the completion OF
the prescribed courses of study, which
today entities you to the several dc
| grees which are about to be conferred
| and in further like behalf / wish You
each and all the full measure of sue.
cess In the various callings of life
which you may elect to follow.
Continuing Qualities.
P~uEctuality, accuracy and discipline,
however, have been requirements all
through your college course, and with
the separation from the halls of the
university, | trust that these quail
ties which you have thus acquired
will continue as dominant principles
of your everyday practice.
A Monument of Zeal.
The prize you win today, a diploma
testifying to your completion of GER
tain work in this university, coupled
with the authority to attach certain
new initials after your name, stands
as a monument of your zeal, perse
verance and industry. 1t shows that
you have done hours and years of act
ual work, and | hope it has been real
ly hard work. Unfortunate is the
graduate on his commencement day
who can say II went through easy"
The Final Word.
Looking to your future, may it be
one of usefulness and duty, for fortu-
nate is he who has work to do and
can do it. If you think only that what
you are TO have in this life will come
by your own efforts, you will surely
succeed. Believe not in luck, except
in that luck which comes with hard
work. Believe that it is better to wear
out than to rust out, and never be
| looking for things to come your way,
| for as President Garfield ono said,
Things don't turn up in this world
unless somebody turns them up"

The Feminine Annette

Although a public claim has been
made on behalf of the feminine appe-
tite." although women's dinners have
been inauguratel and chefs engaged to
do credit to the kitchens of the Ia
dies clubs, there is no deep conviction
in the commanding tendencies Of
the sex. Woman remains very much
a creature Of circumstance where the
question of eating is concerned, and
she will still light-heartedly sacrifice
ven the dinner hour, which no mar
would give up except as a tragic act
of martyrdom.
