Heyburn's Attack.

Washington, May Tn reply To
senator Heyburn's attack upon the
forestry policy of the administration
senator Depew today i'm the Senate
spoke in defense of forestry reserves
and the refOrestation of denuded
lands.
Only the other day, he said, New
York State received 100000 trees
from Germany for sue in reforestins
the Adirondacks. He commended
the a4ion of President Cleveland in
inaugurating the system of forest re-
serves by setting aside 2O,ee0, 900
acres, which was increased to 4O.-
100000 under President Mckinley
and is now 150,o0O,O00 acres. The
damage he said, done by cutting down
the forests Of the Adirondacks was
enormous and every spring the news
papers tell Of disastrous floods in SIX
States, whose streams are fed from
the waterhed. The damage done to
the streams by deforestation. he sa,d
to a great extent had Offset the good
achieved by river and hrbor inn
provements. q.
Mr. Teller said the work of New
York in reforestation was the kind
he approved. He objected to having
the general government go into that
business. He objected to the voting
of lump sum of 100000 for the
forestry division.
Mr.. Aldrich interrupted to say that
the last agricultural appropriation
bill called for classified and detail
ed estimates" for the forestry divi-
sion.
Il have not" he said, been able
to discover that any such estimates
have been submitted to Congress.
They are not in the book Of esti.
mates"
Mr.. Warren explained that the ap-
preparations committee of the House
had information of what would be
done with the appropriations for the
forestry division. He favored having
settled estimates. 8A.
Mr.. Teller declared that the for
estry reservations were an unmitigat-
ed curse and not a blessing" Reading
from memorandum Of expenditures
Of the division. he said, sa5s, 600 was
spent in lump sum. Congress, he
added. had nothing to do with fixing
the salaries included in that amount.
Mr.. Money interrupted to say that

mont. Massachusetts,, Connecticut.

Surprised at the Size and Beauty Of
Henderson.

"YOu have a good tOwn-a much
larger and prettier town than | had
any idea Henderson was" said a
visitor to US a few days ago Re-
marking further he expressed sur
prise not only at the size of the place
but the beauty and evidences of
growth and prosperity to be seen on
every hand. This Of course was not
news to the resident but it was graf
flying to be pleasantly reminded Of
it by the stranger within our gates.
The GOLD LEAF has been convinced
all along that Henderson is one of
the best towns in the State-we are
almost egotistical enough to pro-
nOunce it the best-but there are
other good towns as well.
We have never had anything like
boom, but far better than that
there has been steady and solid
growth. Like healthy boy with n
good appetite, whose dimensions III
crease in every direction, Henderson
has grown steadily and made ubstan-
tialprogress along all lines of devel-
Opment. To one who does not 90 over
the town often the number of new
houses that have been built compar-
atively recently and are now under
construction, others that have been
renovated, enlarged and reprinted, is
a matter of surprise. In whatever
section of town you may go you will
see new houses going up or lumber
being hauled upon the ground for
that purpose.

Probably Didn't Belong in Hender-
son.

The Raleigh Times records the ar
rest in that city on the charge of
COW stealing of 1.-TWO promising
youngsters named Thompson, A. T.
and John, brothers by nature and
brothers in crime" who claimed to
be from Henderson. We may have
had COW thieves among us but it is
likely that the Thompson brothers
did not come from Henderson and
belong elsewhere. At any rate we
are perfectly willing to part with
them in the interest of good roads in
Wake county. The Times says:
Policeman McRary found them at the
market-p place in the cold, gray dawn of
the morning. waiting for buyers for two
good-looking Jersey cows they were
leading. McRary 'smelt a mouse" at
once. When questioned the boys were
rather indefinite in their answers and
mixed things up considerably. They
said they were from Henderson and Of
fered the cows at 500 each. Finding no
takers, even at this price, they invited
offers on the stock. McRary decided to
hold them on suspicion.
Later, Mr.. f. r. Clifton, of WAITS,
phoned in that two of his cows were
missing. They were'valued at $50 by
Mr. Clifton. In default of 500 bond the
young gentlemen were committed to
