The native trees of Australia are be-
ing Systematically replaced with those
OF the United States and Europe. The
chief reason for this action is chat the
trees of that country are generally of
very slow growing nature, which is
not desirable for scientific forestry, al
though it is true that many of the
Australian trees grow to enormous size
when fully matured and produce ex-
cel'ent timber. Notably among these
is the kauri pine, which requires about
20O years to reach full growth. AS the
native trees are cut down to answer
the demands for lumber, the imported
trees are planted in thfir places so
that eventually the fora Jflthe country
will be largely eliminated if moi entire

We're the principal speakers. Mr..
White, who resides in Keokuk, an ad-

many years but this was his first
speech here. He was greeted by a
large and enthusiastic audience White
appealed in a clever way for independ-
ent and republican votes. The indie

the hero of the hour at many periods in
Our nations history. Parties long in
power, the SPEAKER held, become cor

change. He held that Bryan was the
logical success or of Roosevelt and
pleaded for votes in the Nebraska's be-
half. Most of his talk was devoted to
the tariff, closing with mention Of ihs
