Heard From.

SEATTLE, June 17.-The loss of
the bear from the battleship Kansas
in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the
letter of Alexander Peters, chief gun
ners' mate, to Mayor Miller, asking
for new mascot, has brought a tre-
mendous responsibility to the city's
chief executive. The mayors office is
threatened with a shower of bears.
Captors from various parts of the Pa
cific Northwest who have ensnared
bears of all ages have written the
mayor, offering mascots and express
ing their purpose of sending the ami
mails on for inspection.
For several days letters have been
coming to the mayor concerning
bears. 1t was not until a half dozen
bear owners announced their purpose
of forwarding the animals by express
to the mayor that serious alarm was
felt. The prospect of the reception
room at the city hall being filled with
bear cages, and the Railways, none
too wide when clear, being lined with
bear cubs in boxes, was too much.

THE CATS GET ONE.
The Aberdeen Champions Win a
Game by Spencer's Home Run, A.
ter Disastrous Week.

SEATTLE, June 16.-The Aber-
deem champions showed a return to
form this afternoon, following their
disastrous week in Vancouver, and
just nOsed in ahead of the fighting
Butte team by score of 2 to 0.
1t was a clean-cut scientific battle
all the way through, with the hon.
ors about even in the field. The cham
pions, however, had the edge in num-
ber of hits, although only one real
one counted in the run getting.
The victory was decided in the Sec
ond inning, when Stub Spencer drove
the ball over the right field fence
with Fitzgerald on second base. Fitz
had reached first on a hit that was
midway between short and third.
Cartwright made a gallant effort to
get it, but could do no more than
knock it down. Later in the game
Spencer came within hairs breadth
of putting the ball over again, but
Irby caught it with his hands almost
on the boards.

Pan-AmeFleans 20 Swap Notes.
Following the plan Of America and
Germany in the exchange Of inteIlec-
tual ideas according to a definite sys-
tenn, educators are considering the es-
adjustment Of cooperation between
the universities Of this country and
those Of South America, A closer &C
quaintance between the people Of
North and South America is desirable
for many reasons. Perhaps the best
way to secure valuable results Is
through cultivation along regular ed.
ucational lines. The time seems auspi
eious.
II has been shown frequently that
German influence now dominates the
intellectual circles Of several impor-
tant South American states. At the
same time 1t appears that American
teachers are wanted there. BY coop
Grafton with the educated classes II Is
believed that the German influence
can at least be restricted and that Of
the United States elevated in the same
neld. The scheme for intellectual co
operation includes the exchange Of
university publications and scientific
bureau for the exchange OF data and
for simultaneous investigation on top
les OF interest to the scientists OF all
countries. The university systems OF
the different countries will also be
compared Not the least useful fea-
ture Of the cooperative work will be
the exchange OF material pertaining to
the development Of political instItu-
lions.
1t must be plain to the most obtuse
what reinforcement our general infu-
ence in South America would receive
from the successful execution of the
plan proposed. Community Of com
merclal interests and a resemblance in
the form of government viii do much.
But these are influences that work
from without and have to pierce the
crust to get within. Sowing ideas in
the schools is to generate an influence
that works from within outward and
easily leavens the lump.

A Third Reason For Tree Planting

A Third Reason For Tree Planting.
Uncle Sans tree planting and farm
experts have 5ust undertaken a prac-
IDEAL and scientific study Of the use
and effect OF timber windbreaks and
shelter belts. At present windbreaks
are planted haphazard. says a recent
bulletin OF the forest service, one kind
here and another there. and II any
one kind In better than another the ex-
perts think the fact should be proved
by experiments conducted upon one
plan over a wide region Of agricultural
lands. 1t is proposed to collect facts
never before brought together and. II
possible. settle this question once for
all.
Forest preservation and tree planting
have been zealously urged upon the
people Of this country in recent years
for two reasons-namely, the main
tenance Of watersheds and the growth
Of timber supply. The windbreak and
shelter belt are known to be important
also. and the question how to proceed
where the land Is practically bare OF
trees Is one which viii first engage the
attention OF the forest service. For
tunately 1t Is possible to kill two birds
with one stone. for II the windbreak
does not turn out to be profitable in
giving greater yield OF crops 1t can
at least be made to yield valuable tim
Der by planting several rows Of trees
instead Of single row.
The kind Of trees to be planted de-
ponds largely upon the climate and the
soil. Spruce and poplar have a wide
range and are rapid growers. These
trees are much sought after by wood
pulp manufacturers. Poplars as small
as three inches In diameter are used in
the manufacture Of paper. White pine
and chestnut also grow rapidly. and
the timber Of these trees Is much
sought after, and young timber finds
ready sale II the owner cannot walt
for II to grow to great size.
