UTICA, Dec. 2a.-The International
Paper Company. which has paper manu-
featuring plants scattered throughout
the Adirondacks. has formally declared
its intention to become a pioneer in the
preservation OF the country's forests
TO insure the supply Of pulp wood. This
company. which owns about 1900 acres
Of timber land, intends to use the methods
advocated by the conservation convention,
especially that Of limiting the cutting TO
the amount Of the annual growth. Two
Of the company's oficials. Chester W.
Lyman and c. H. Grifiing. have been in
conference with Clifford Pinohot. chief
Of the Government Forestry Service,
with the object of obtaining suggestions
for this and other forestry methods
suggested by the conservation convention.
SThe International Paper Company

with view. to preserving them as
perpetual source Of supply for the pulp
wood. We hereafter purpose to limit
cutting OF timber on our lands TO the
amount Of the annual growth. BY ju-
dicious tree planting on burned and
crease the yield or crop that may be
removed annually. The presence Of small
growth on the lands at present bearing,
the timber renders general tree planting
unnecessary, as the young trees viii
replace those cut. No trees will bo cut
which are below the diameter spscified
by trained foresters" ~
This, 1t was explained. averages twelve
inches in diameter, but does not neoessa-l

ference with Mr.. Pinchot ~ 81

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Although he
admits he never felt in filter physical
condition in his life than at present Presi-
dent Roosevelt has expressed the wish
to friends within the last few hours
that he were ten years younger That
the President believes the African trip he
has mapped out is to be an arduous one
Is all too clear to those with whom he
has talked.
MIR. Roosevelt's mind is full OF Africa
and big game. Politicians can hardly get
him interested in the subject Of Office.
When they call to ask for patronage
or to discuss pending Legislation he intro
duces them to men who arrived ahead
of them TO talk over plans for the Afri-
can trip. Hardly day passes that some
detail OF the trip 10 not considered.
But with all his enthusiasm over the
approaching trip the President at times
seems apprehensive as TO the effect Of
the tropical climate on his health, and
it ia this feeling which has moved him
to wish that he might turn back the hands
OF the clock for ten years. Recently
the President has learned that the terri
tory he is to hunt In is swampy and mias-
matte and that disease waits upon the
traveller ~.

ates. Those making the appeals are un-

whether the President does or does not
think the sentence Of Mr.. Gompera and his
associates excessive 10 no. 81 present q
consequence because he cannot take any
action or express any opinion while ths
case is pending before the courts. When
final decision 10 made then the President
can properly consider whether the terms
Of imprisonment are excessive or Inn
proper. But It 10 Of course impossible
for the President 10 aot while an appeal
10 pending, for he has nothing whatever
to aot about. The courts must finish with
the case first. and the defendants are at
the present moment at liberty on bail,
III the defendants Oee at TO abandon
their appeal the matter will then Of
course be at onoe brought before the
Executive, in which case IL will receive
immediate and most careful considera-
tion. But the defendants have a perfect
right TO prosecute their appeal, and II
unsuccessful in final court then to ask
for pardon or Communication. But as long
as they are prosecuting an appeal the
President has nothing TO do with the
matter.
"The President has already instructed
the Department Of Justice to keep him
fully informed as to the progress Of the.
case, 30 that in the event Of its becoming
proper for him TO act he may already
have at his disposal all Of the facts which
will enable him to decide whether there,
was justification for the sentence, and
whether IL there was justification for
some punishment the sentence Id or is7
