The fact of the matter is that there
are but seven resident freehoIders on
the street to be paved. The signature
OF four of these asking for asphatum

therefore to prevent the pavement of
the $4,000 job with brick and compel
the town board to lay asphalt and in
cidentally to knock the Gary Construc

The law on this subject as passed
by the last legislature is as follows:
Thereupon, said board shall

CONDITIONS IN YELLOW PINE
FORESTS OF SOUTHWEST

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, April 80
A study of conditions in the yellow
pine forests of the Southwest, made
during the past season by the United
States Forest Service at the recently
established Coconino Forest Expert
ment Station, has brought out very
strikingly the difficulty of securing
natural reproduction in this type
of forest.
In northern Arizona, perhaps at
least half of the forest is without
young growth of any kind, and old
cuttings are frequently barren
wastes. The most important factors
in bringing this about are the eli
mate, fire, methods of cutting, dis
posal of brush, and grazing; in most
cases two or more Of these factors
work together in preventing repro
duction.
Climatic conditions, even when
they do not injuriously affect the
older trees, are apt to be especially
unfavorable for the establishment of
a good crop of seedlings, and curl
ously enough, in region noted for
its heat and aridity, frost is one of
the most serious enemies of the
young growth. The rainfall is very
unevenly distributed throughout the
year, and while in most of the yell
low pine region it probably averages
about twenty inches. this comes
mainly in midsummer and winter.
Spring is the most arid season of
the year, and it is almost impossible
for seedlings to get started then.
The result is that a majority of the
seeds germinate during August, and
not having time to complete the
seasons growth. are killed by early
fall froSts. Foresters who had pre-
viously investigated this problem
had realized in a general way the
the Importance of frost, but it was
not until actual experiments by
means of sample plots were made
that this point was definitely settled.
Owing to the extremely trying
climatic conditions, some protection
to the young seedlings for the first
year or two is Necessary. Conse-
quently light cuttings are favorable,
and the disposal of brush by scatter
ing rather than by burning helps to
protect the seedlings from the
weather. The greater part of the
region is quite heavily grazed, and
experiments have shown that sheep,
in particular, do a great deal of
damage to young seedlings. Sample
counts showed that within a pasture
hum which sheep were extfNHNiy

ARIZONA LEADS THE WORLD
IN COPPER

During the month of March Ari-
zona produced 81, 100000 pounds Of
copper, and thereby clinched her
hold on first rank, not only in the
United States, but in all of the
world as a copper producing dis.
trict, says the Yuma Sun. Even
with copper as low as IL cents per
pound, this production means the
staggering sum of SO, 3,720,OO0 for a
single months production of this
one metal alone. This is all clean mon
ey, not dirty dollar in the bunch,
virgin wealth, dug out of the earth.
Last year Arizona produced over
$57 100000 Of minerals. This year
the territory will go beyond these
figures and in very few years Ari-
zona, the jewel of the southwest,
will be producing $l00,000,0O0 of
wealth every twelve months. These
figures are so immense as to make
some of the little states of the east.

TARIFF AND SPECIAL
INTERESTS

Perhaps the most remarkable
thing, to the mind Of the student
of our political history, about the
taritf-making of this year 1909, is
the total disappearance of the man
whose free-trade creed was his
religion and who was probably the
most detached and sublimated type
of doctrinaire the world has ever
produced. On the other hand,
there is to be noted almost as COM
plete disappearance Of that mys-
teal and fanatical protectionist
whose metaphysics was as recondite
and battling as the syllogisms of
the free-traders were obvious and
infantile. The kind of literature once
circulated with zeal by the New York
Free Trade Club is as extinct as the
dodo. On the other hand, the writ
ings of some Of the masters of the
priori school of protectionist WIS.,
ionaries nurtuaed in Pennsylvania,
belonging properly with the disserta-
tions of the medieval schoolmen.
Neither of these outputs of writing
or speaking had any sane bearing
upon craftsmanship, and very little
upon economics. The one was an
exercise in logic and the other an
exercise in metaphysics. In former

rade, for soon the class of 1912 were
out with a bony horse hitched to a
dilapidated looking rig. A very
large crude coffin, with dummy
towering above it, were on the rig,
with pail bearers and drivers. On
the hands and head of the dummy
were placed the figures, 1909, 1910
and 1911. On the coffin, printed
in large black letters, were the
words: Died in agony, the classes
of 1909, 1910 and 1911" Behind
this was marching in pairs, a long
mournful procession with sorrowful
looking faces.
Many amusing scenes of rivalry
took place during the day, but the
class of 1912 won their final victory
by decorating the hall profusely
during the day with their class
colors and having the other classes
dance at night under their colors.
They also sold refreshments and
gave the proceeds to the new Acad-
emy. The dance was we'll attended
and much enjoyed.
On Friday some field sports were
enjoyed on the Academy campus,
consisting mostly of ball games and
horse races.
On Saturday the streets were
very quiet compared to the noise Of
the previous day, and many of the
students left for their homes.

not carried on by these doctrinaires
and dervishes and fanatics. This
real fight was a very concrete affair,
and it was carried on by the So
called interests. The wool men
then as now knew what they were
after, and so did the iron and steel
men. Cotton wanted to get to the
European markets as easily as posi-
BILE, and wanted to bring back CON-
modities without paying duty.
Louisiana wanted sugar protected,
and cared for nothing else. Florida
and California in due time became
interested in looking after fruit.
Men from Missouri arose and
learned how to log-roll on be-
half of lead and zinc,-and they
are still at it. Messrs. Elkins and
Scott knew what West Virginia
wanted, and why; and Hale, of
Maine, then as now, was first and
longest at the trough. These prac-
tical people, who knew what they
were after, never let their clear
minded selfshness come under the
dimming cloud of doctrinaire
illusions. From THE Progress of
