Eept that occasionally the owner
would cut down few trees to pre-
vent them from enGroaching into his
very door yard
Ideas are changing rapidly now as
to tho values and uses of certain
woods, The long leaf pine is disap-
pearlng from the land and there are
few young trees to take the place Of
the old. Necessity for future wood
materials has resulted in many inves-
legations and experiments with in
ferior kinds Of wood. Loblolly or old
field pine has been found to be ex-
ceedingly durable when impregnated
with creosote. This has given the
old field pine new value and today
thousands OF railroad ties are cut
near the railroads and shipped to
treating plants to be creosoted. Small
portable mills are easily and cheaply
located and many of these are now
cutting the best trees in these old
field stands for lumber to be used
locally among farmers. The future
numbering will be carried on extcn-
slvely in these second growth stands
Of old field pine.
The situation in the north Is very
much the same. White pine is here
found occupying the old fields much
as loblolly pine does in the South.
The seeds are light and are carried
considerable distances to open fields
where they find plenty of light and
suitable soil conditions to make ex-
cellent growth.
Fifty years ago or more there were
many small areas under cultivation
which have since been abandoned
and have now grown up to white
pine. Farming has always been on a
small scale but wit hthe develop
ment Of great farming interests In
the West, the farmer of the North
east has been handicapped in his
comptitionf for the markets. Many
of the younger generation have left
the old home farms and gone to the
cities for more lucrative employment
All this has resulted in abandonment
OF old farms and fields and many ii
these are growing up to pine. There
is tendency for men who left the
farms many years ago to return and
spend the summer months among
their boyhood surroundings. They
love the native forests and conse.
auently encourage the growth OF
pine in the fields once cultivated. Sc
there is an enthusiastic as well rs
commercial value attached to this
young growth.
The white pine Of. the northeast
does not compare in rate Of growth
with the old field pine of the South,
but the wood is more valuable for
lumber, boxboards. shingles and 9TH
er purposes, and the demand for sec
ond growth pine Is very great. It f
estimated there are 100000 acres o.
abandoned land In southern New
Hampshire ana a large part Of this
Is growing up to white pine. Inves-

ABANDONED FARMS
RESTORED RAIREES
Pine Trees in the Eastern and
Southern States Have
Come to the Rescue.

Everywhere in the eastern and
southern states the ak is transform-
ing the magnificent forests of the past
into culled and cut over land. The
demand for lumber is so great and
operations are so extensive that in a
comparatively few years those who
wish to sde timber in its virgin lux
uriance will have to visit distant and
isolated sections of the country.
Under the new conditions brought
about by the exploitation of the vlr-
gin forests a type of woodlands
known as the old field pine has de-
veloped into commercial Importance
within recent years as a result Of
clearing away the original forests for
agricultural purposes. This old field
type promises to increase in value
more and more with the correspond
ing Increase in the price OF wood
products. Old fields are common
both in the South and in the North.
although they arise from different
causes and become reforested with
Inherent species OF trees.
In the South, before the Civil war,
vast areas of land were in cultivation
which have since been allowed to re-
turn to forest. Many thousand acres
were often included within a single
plantation, mostly cleared, and grow
ing splendid crops Of cotton, corn,
tobacco, and many other valuable
farm products, 1t is common today
to see in certain sections of the South
Odd plantations of great extent that
are now growing up with loblolly, or
as 1t is generally called, old field
pine.
The war was responsible for this
neglect Of cultivated land. With hte
freeing of the slaves the immense
plantations could no longer be man
aged and the land was abandoned.
In many cases. however, the land was
impoverished through many years OF
cultivation, but with the use OF fer
tilizers will be reclaimed in the fut-
ure. Farmers now point out SPLEEN

enough TO be numbered, on land that

no more than twenty to twenty-five

promoters Of the ciarksburg baseball
club Of the Pawva league not to con-
slider him for the presidency Of the
re-organized association at the meet
ing OF fans to be held tonight in the
assembly room of the Waldo hotel.
Mr.. Smiley says that while he Is
very much Interested in the club and

believe he would make an ideal pres

TO the league situation in this city,
Messrs. Hoge and WEIGH. owners Of

burg can be assured of a good fast

SENT TO OGDEN.
Judge Gowans Comits Two Boys TO
The State Industrial School.

Clyde worthen and Manuel Ennis,
aged 10 and 10 years respectively, were
committed TO the State Industrial
school by Judge Gowans today. The
first named when asked what he de-
sired most when he reaches manhood,
replied, II want to be governor OF
Utah" The statement was made IN
all seriousness, and the boy was pat
ted on the back by the court OFFICIALS
and told to keep the high mark in view
Until he can become governor Clyde
wants to be n carpenter.
The case of young Ennis is Pc
cuhar and pitiable one. The lad is not
accused of any wrongdoing, but was
sent 10 the school because he has no
family or home here. The commanding
OFFICER at Fort Douglas complained 10
Hon. Harry Joseph that the boy was
living with soldiers at the post, and
he thought he should be taken care OF
elsewhere.
Young Ennis is an unusually bright
boy, of Portuguese parentage. he
came from Sacramento with the Fiji
tenth infantry. Dec. 16 last, under
protection of some of the soldiers. his
home was I'm Oakland, whore he lived
with his father and step-mother, or

latter. His own mother lives some
where in California, but he does nos
know where, and has with her Man.

the parents the boy was given into the
custody of the father Manuel says he
got into bad company, and when ms
companions began stealing he resolved
10 get away from them, and with that
end in view he ran away from nome.
He had money enough to pay MS way
from Oakland to Sacramento, and at
the latter city the soldiers took him

The hoy had tears in his eyes as he
told his story. He did not complain
at being \sent to the Industrial scnQol,

for him. He wants to learn the print
ing trade, and longs to be with ms
family again, preferring TO be win

STORY OF THE CRIME.
The Collins murder trial was one OF
the most sensational ever held IN
Kansas j. S. Collins of Topeka,
wealthy real estate man. was muir
dered in his home on May ID, 1898, sup
posedly by robbers. His son, John Col
Inns, then a student at the Kansas
university, was arrested, charged with
the murder and was convicted upon
the testimony of two negroes. The state
charged that Collins had murdered ms
father to gain an inheritance that ne
might marry u wealthy young woman
Collins always stoutly maintained ms
innocence and 1t was shown at the
trial that he and his father were on
the most friendly terms.
An effort will be made to secure
pardon for Collins.

Boost Of Nearly Five Per Cent

"DRUMMERS" HIT HARDEST.
Means Several Dollars Difference in
Cost of Carrying Excess--onscts
Reduced Passenger Rates.

Through authoritative sources in
touch with railroad affairs in the east,
1t is learned u movement Is on foot TO
raise charges on excess baggage and
it is understood raise from IL per
cent to 16 2-3 per cent is practically
certain. This win be rather bad news
to travellers. especially statesmen. the
atrical people and others in the habit
of having considerable baggage. The
action is under consideration by the
Transcontinental Passenger Associa-
ton and 1t Is understood roads east
of the Missouri river have agreed up
on the raise and western roads have
practically given their O. X. to the
proposition. 1t is safe TO say the raise
will be effective July /.
on that date and after every trav-
eler Will be permitted to carry $50
pounds of baggage free on a first
class ticket as heretofore. But in
stead of paying only II per cent of the
amount he paid for the first class
ticket he will pay 16 Pa per cent, The
new tariff on eXces baggage is %
per cent higher-thats the difference,
and by those always on the road II is
regarded as n big change, If a man
pays $50 for a first-class ticket from
one point to another now, he pays ~
per cent per hundred pounds for eX-
cess baggage. Thus, If he has hum
dred pounds over the hundred and If
ty carried free he pays $500; under the
new ruling he will pay over a third
mare.
Travelling men and others venture
the opinion that the new tariff Is be-
ing put In to offset the reduced pas
senger rates now in force through
eastern and middle western states.
