Reform Alderman
Clues Uncle Sam a
Forest of Redwood
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. s.
The United States has received a
present from a reform alderman.
BILLY" Kent of Chicago has pre-
scented the people with a tract of
giant redwood forest, 295 acres in
extent, on the southern slope of Mt.
Tamalpais, six miles from San
Francisco. The lumber alone on
this tract is worth $150.000 at mar
ket prices. and the land cost Sat-
900 number of years ago. These
redwoods, which are among the
few which have escaped the reck-
less numbering operations on the
coast, will be kept forever for a
monument for their scientific inter
est. The giant seQuoia grows only
on the California coast, and the
failure of the government to buy
and preserve the few remaining
groves has threatened the extinc-
ton of these natural curiosities.
Mr.. Kent divides his time be-
tween Chicago and country
home near San Francisco. He was
pioneer in the attempt to reform
Chicago's city council, and when
he began was regarded as curios
| ity. The Doodle alderman actually
thought him not in his right mind

annexation is nearer than many

from Cuba all point in that direc-

No official information can be
had to this effect, but the unofficial
information is more reliable than
any formal statements. According
to the latter, Feb. l, 1909, has now
been set as the date for trying on

facts. The outlook in the island is
exceedingly unpromising for peace

Would "a United States postal saw
ings bank serve the country as a
panacea for currency ills?
Representative VIM. E. Hum

itors will be skeptical about all

is boarded all the time in tin cans
and stockings. But you can't find
anyone in this country that is
afraid to trust Uncle Sam. II he
says 4 promise to pay on demand,
everyone knows he will pay on de-
mand.
"If there was postal bank
boarded money would soon be on
deposit with the government, as
everyone prefers drawing interest
If there is no risk. Then the gov
eminent would place the deposits
in banks and the boarded money
would be out in trade"
The department of commerce
and labor has just received re-
port from United States consular
agent in France which shows the
postal savings bank in that coun-
try is all immense success. The
number of depositors grew from
