Japan's Enormous Debt,

The public debt Of Japan amounted
on March 81. 1908, to about $1,1O8,-
861,375. Her population, exclusive OF
her island colonies, Formosa. the Pes
cadores and Sakhalin, is about 49,
100000. The national debt, therefore,
amounts to about $24 per capita. the
greater part Of which is owed abroad,
and the cost Of her civil and military
establishments is enormous.

This tree grows for the benefit of
the planter, and yet for the benefit OF
the grandchildren. Its introduction
into California was without question
a great benefit to this nation. The
discovery of gold, the development OF
the citrus fruit industry the discoV-
cry Of oil, and the utilization of our
agricultural lands were nothing, COM
pared to the importance of the euca-
lyptus industry. There are other
sources of gold, other places where
oranges will grow, other agricultural
lands and other sources of crude oil,
but no other source of Eucalyptus
inside the borders of our United
States. This idol is restricted to Cali
fornia and it's semi-tropic environ
ments The Gulf States are endeay-
oring to propagate eucalyptus, with
more or less success, but in Callforna
we have the soil and the climate
which is necessary for it's successful
propagation.
Every Californian is thoroughly IA
miliar with the Eucalyptus which
grow luxuriantly as windbreaks
and shelter, which stand In m9Jestlc
groves and large plantations, but few
of us who gaze daily at the graceful
outlines of our Idol realize that we are
lust reaching an appreciation or the
tremendous value it possesses.

ways and means. We have found
several methods of putting off the
famine a few years. One method Is
the planting of oak. hickory and other
trees on our denuded mountain SIDES;
another is the substitution of other
materials for wood; but in spite or
every effort to find successful substl-
tutes the use of hardwood has IN
creased yearly.
Another method is the planting of
wood lots by farmers throughout the
country. Catalpa, oak hickory, pine
and every other marketable tree Is
being planted, but this is in very
limited degree, because the planters
of such trees cannot see them mar
keted during their lifetimes. Such
plantations are made for the beneht
of grandchildren. The foregoing
methods do not solve the problem OF
aveIting the famine which Is only
fourteen years hence. Our FAMINE VIII

Inc once here, it will be always pres
ent. We can never catch up with the
demand with growing trees. The
solution of the famine problem lies III
a rapid growing tree, and TINS is the
ONLY SOLUTION.
1t is not, therefore, surprising thal
the eucalyptus tree has risen up In It's
majesty, in it's generous proportions
and in it's undying activity and pc
come the Wooden Idol of the nation.
We bow down to the Eucalyptus win

King of Trees-the one species that

lowering in our nostris as a rebuke
to our wasteful methods. We burned

kept us warm. But today this WOOD
is worth $40 per thousand feet, board
measure. You who have toasted your
shins before the blazing log of our
Idol, stop and think moment on tins
point. Will you continue to soak in
the warmth from this wood, or will
you sell il as lumber and absorb the
gold which it produces?
Do not sacrifice the Idol. but rather
make sacrifices TO the Idol. 1t ~

but not only yourself. The profits ex-
tend down through the generations.
The tree which you cut Will produce
other trees, you will be benefited by
frequent narvests and after you your
children, during their lifetime, and
your grandchildren and their chill
dren. All will benefit by the sacrifice
you make at this time to the Wooden
Idol-Eucalyptus.
The profits to be made from this in
dustry are sufficient to convince any
one that the reward is ample. An
acre of Eucalyptus planted in artificial
forest formation means an investment
of 5000 to $3.50, according to location.
The returns from this investment will
be $250O or more each ten years. These
figures are conservative and are
proved by experience. They are based
on a selling price of stumpage of $25
per thousand feet.
If we look back over ten years we
will find that oak and hickory have
more than doubled in value during
that time-maple is not far behind

mand per capita, so large as to be
without parallel in the world, and
that the suffering which will result
from the progressive failure of our
timber was but family foreshadowed
by the recent temporary scarcity OF
coal"
Mr.. Roosevelt, in speech delivered
last spring, said:
"If the present rate of forest de-
struction Is allowed to continue, with
nothing to offset 1t, a timber famine
in the future is inevitable. Fire, waste
ful and destructive forms of lumber
ing and the legitimate use, taken to-
gether, are destroying our forest re-
sources far more rapidly than they
are being replaced. 1t is difficult to
imagine what such n timber famine
would mean to our resources. And
the period of recovery from the in
juries which a timber famine would
entail would be measured by the slow
growth of the trees themselves. Re
member that you can prevent such a
timber famine occurring by wise ac-
tion taken i'm time; but once the fam
inc occurs, there is no possible way
of hurrying the growth of the trees
necessary to relieve it,"
A careful consideration of existing
conditions is resulting in a shock to
the American people which is felt from
the Atlantis to the Pacific. We are
being shaken into our senses we
have awakened to the dire calamity
which confronts us. We are studying

CHICAGO, Jan 23-The Illinois
Manufacturers association has gone on
record in favor of the passage by con-
gress of legislation now pending for
the development of a larger merchant
marine. AT a luncheon last night Con-
gressman James T. McCleary of Min
nesota uttered the sentiment of the
meeting in the following epigram:

when our fleet rounded the straits

American heart beat proudly, but our
pride was sobered by the fact that with
our sixteen battleships we had but
eight merchant vessels in contrast.
Such a spectacle has never before been
presented by any self respecting ma
tion."
John Barrett, director general of the
International Bureau of American Re-
publics, also spoke.
Serious conditions" he said, "are
facing American prestige and trade

will be disastrous.

everything she has to sell.

WOMAN WINS TITLE
AND GERMAN ESTATE
RESIDENT OF WALLACE, IDAHO,
Is D0WAGER COUNTESS
Five Years Legal Battle Results in
Victory in Court of Last Appeal.
Montanan Becomes
Count

WALLACE, Idaho, Jan. ga for
tune from one of the most valuable
estates in Germany and the title of
dowager countess of Marbrueck COLI
Stitute the reward which will fall TO
Mrs. J. III. Voelker Of this city, as the
result of five-year legal battle in the
courts Of Germany to secure her rights
as the widow Of the rightful but ban
ished heir to the title and castle of
Count Frederick Voelker.
A cablegram from Berlin announces
to Mrs. VOelker that she has finally
won her case in the court of last APP
peal, despite the prolonged and bitter
fight made by her husbands relatives,
and is now entitled to a share of the
family estate.'
With the settlement of the case the
title of count goes to the second son of
Count Frederick, who is employed in all
assay office in Anaconda, Mont.
Mrs. Voelker, then an opera, singer,
and her husband were married in Paris
some twenty-five years ago, despite the
objections interposed by the young
mans family.
The rightful heir to the title was dis
inherited and banished by his father,
and the couple came to America.
Eighteen years ago Voelker died,
leaving his widow and three daughters
in reduced financial circumstances.
Upon the death of Count Frederick
the widow of his oldest son presented
her claims as an heir to the estate en-
titled to her share as his wife and the
mother of his children.
Relatives of the deceased count fought
her demands, and with their wealth
and influence carried the case through
court after court. The matter was even
into the reichstag for consideration.
