About Christmas Trees

Many people are concerned about the
obstruction of the forests in order
to provide the thousands of Christmas
trees that are used in all the great
cities.
The governments chief forester,
Clifford Pinchot. states that this
slaughter of young trees" is of hardly
any consequence compared with the
wastes in other ways. Trees are for
use, he says, and there is no way in
which they can contribute more to the
happiness of mankind than when used
as Christmas trees.
Where young forests are ruthlessly
cut off the effect, OF course, is harmful;
but If the forests are only thinned out
where trees stood too thick, the cut
ting at the Christmas season is a
benefit. Nature herself thins out the
trees where they are too thick by
causing many of the smaller ones TO
die.
1t is estimated that 100000 young
spruces, frs, balsams and hemlocks are
cut every year to supply the Christmas
demand. Maine, Michigan and Oregon
are the great producing states. Hun
dreds OF carloads OF young trees are
now pouring into New York, Chicago
and other large cities.

Nothing could be more eccentric TO

go TO roost. The bird does not tuck
its head under its wing, poor thing"
and so settle down, but packs Itself up
in most orderly fashion. The tail is
turned forward over the back, in the
soft feathers of which the gigantic bill
is hidden. Then the tail shuts down,

By Harold French

Mr.. and Mrs. Junior will be "at home"
Christmas day. For certain good and
sufficient reasons most OF the Junior
tribe will find the neighborhood of the
house a pretty good place TO stay.
However, SONG of you may wish to
spend part of the day in the open, and
so | am going to suggest a few five mile
strolls that may add spice to the Joys
OF this holly day" Begin now to make
a habit of celebrating Christmas in this
manner. This is, or ought to be,
fathers day off, and IL he has forgot
ten how to hike across the hills now is
the time for you TO teach him how to
walk again. There is no better way for
boy to get acquainted with his dad
than by going on weekend walking trips
over the hills or through the woods or
down along the shore. Perhaps he Will
find you such good comrade that he
will begin the New Year by taking you
off on Sunday tramps when you both
may follow the program of the Satur-
day walks suggested for that particu-
lar season. Two of the best partners
1 ever saw are a father and son who
have tramped and camped for more
than third of a century together, and
the regular exercise in the hills has
kept the elder of the twain in such
fine physical form that his friends have
aptly called him "old grizzly"
MORNING WALKS
If Christmas morning dawns clear
and crisp you will enjoy your walk
all the more IL you make an early
start especially SO If there be coating
of frost OH the young grass and thin,
white sheets are drawn across the pud-
dies. You may think that you know
the Golden Gate park from the panhan-
die to the sea, but I am sure that you
will en- Will
midst of this man made forest If you
follow a unique route that would
suggest. Its chief charm is the wood
lands spell, that seems to brood along
its less frequented paths, where sour
rying quail and scampering rabbits are
the only signs of life you see, unless
you disturb the maneuvers of a bat,
talon of red breasted robins, who are
now invading the pine tops. Start
either from the Baker street entrance
and walk through the panhandle to
Stanyan street, or enter from that
point and turn to the right at the lodge
of superintendent McLaren, where a
rustic path ascends the hillside through
a tunnel of ferns. Keep straight up
the hill until you reach its crest, where
you will find hidden lakelet that
comparatively few. park goers ever
visit. From this crest continue along
the little ridge overlooking Fulton
street until you descend to the Seventh
avenue entrance. This northerly slope
is the most frigid zone of the park, and
frequently in midwinter ice forms
there during the night when elsewhere
the temperature has lowered several
degrees above the freezing point.
Graceful oaks border this edge of the
Oldest section of the park, among
which nestle the old fashioned rustic
cottages An which many OF your par
ents played house back in the early
eighties. A clumsy, rumblng old steam
dummy jerked a couple of coaches
around the curves of Point Lobos and

TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS
PUT OUT OF SERVICE
Wires "KiIed" by Violent E|ec.
triCd| Earth Currents.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Violent electrical
earth currents, believed to emanate
from the aurora borealis, disturbed
the telegraph service over the entire
country and for time stilled the tick
ing of the instruments.
While the drift of the currents was
apparently to the eastward it's
strength was little more pronounced
In one section of the country than an
other.
The currents were first felt about 5
o'clock In the morning and increased
In intensity for two hours, reaching
the heaviest wave at 7:10 a. M, when
all telegraph activities were at a
standstill. The force of the disturb
ing currents was so great that fuses
were blown out and resistance lamps
lighted up brilliantly Shortly after Z
o'clock the currents began to subside
and intermittent service was resumed
and the conditions after o'clock be-
came relatively normal, except to the
north
Operators long in the business un.
hesitatingly ascribed the dead" wires
to the aurora borealis and their opin-
ion was reinforced by weather bureau
experts. Professor Bav1d Cuthbertson,
in charge of the local weather bureau,
declared that the phenomena was
without question due to the aurora
borealis, which, he said, accompanied
high pressure in atmospheric condi:
tions.

"DOlNGs" OF THE "DEMs."

The demise of the late Governor
Johnson was indeed most serious
blow to the democratic party OF
Minnesota, and more particularly
that close combination which was
built up during the Johnson admin.
istration--the so-called kitchen
cabinet"
Speaking of the probable "doings''
of the "dems," George F. Authier
says, in the Minneapolis Tribune;
The death of Governor johnson
has left the Democratic party with.
out leader, with the possible ex-
ception of Frank A. Day. A con-
ference of leaders will be held soon
for the purpose of trying to de-
eide upon a candidate for governor
and for future course of action.
The names of several prominent
Democrats are being discussed.
The one that most naturally suggests
itself is that of Congressman Ham
mond of the Second district. If Mr..
Hammond should get in the game,
Frank A. Day would probably be
behind him.
Frank A. Day, who retires from
public life for the present, has not
decided upon his future course. He
says he is going to retire to the quiet
of Fairmount or some other quiet
community, but those who know
him doubt this possibility.
Others are mentioning h S
name as possible candidate for
governor, along with that of Peter
M. Ringdahl of Crookston, member
of the board of control. Mr.. Day
himself says he is through with
politics for the present. He is too
broken up over the death of Governor
Johnson to take an immediate active
interest IN politics."

Quiet at Salt Lake.
Salt Lake City, Sept. 2L.-President
Taft spent a day of comparative quiet
in Salt Lake and enjoyed the rest
from railroad travel which his stay in
this city afforded. The days pro-
gramme began with a breakfast, at
tended by 200 citizens, at the CONNER
cial club This was followed by an
organ recital in the Mormon taber-
nacle, arranged especially in honor of
the president. After the recital, which
was of forty-five minutes duration,
the president was driven to the Salt
Air bathing resort on the shores of
the great Salt lake for luncheon.
From Salt Air the president drove
to the Country club for a game of
golf. He has greatly missed the golf
exercise since he started on his pres
ent trip.
At night the president was the
guest of honor at dinner at the Alta
club and later held a reception.
