CHRISTMAS TREE
CUSTOM UPHELD

The country's forests again have
been called upon to supply about four
million Christmas trees, and again
many persons have asked themselves
and have queried the United States

ace to the movement for forest prcscr-
vationE
In the millions oi happy homes over
the country where the younger genera
ton has made the Christmas tree the
center OF play since early Friday morn
ing. there are many mothers and fathers
who have given the question more or
less thought From Sunday Schools
and other organizations also, which
hold an annual celebration around a
gayly trimmed evergreen for the bcne
fit OF the little ones, has come the
question whether il is consistent TO
urge conservation OF forest resources
and then to cut millions OF young trees
every year To- afford little JOY in the
passing holiday season.
yes. il is consistent and proper that
the custom should be maintained" has
been the answer OF United States For

Trees are for use, and there is no
other use To- which they could be put
which would contribute so much TO
the JOY oi man As their Use by the
children nu this one great holiday Of

1T is true that there has been scri.I

The money spent in Philadelphia
for trimming trees every season
amounts To more than 100000. The
estimate is based on S. spent by the
average family for trimmings. As many
persons spend SEQ and $as for orna.
mcuts, AMI some spend less than S., il
can readily be seen that 100000 is a
conservative estimate.
Including the cost OF moss and

Sneak Thief Sentenced

=. A sneak thief giving his name as
James Kelly was arrested by Con-
stable Newsom in Old Town on
Wednesday night, Kelly and his
pal were arrested for stealing four
fountain pens from the drug store
Of E. E. Ellsworth on the Washing
ton side Two of the pens were
found in the possession Of Kelly
when arrested. One of the others
he had sold to a resident of the
Idaho side. :.
The men worked a double deal
on the druggist. They entered the
store and while one of them en-
gagged the proprietor the other stole
the psns from the pen case, which
had been left unlocked.
The pair were given hearing
before Justice Hart on Wednesday
morning. Kelly plead guilty to
the charge of petit larceny and was
sentenced to 30 days in the county
Jail. His partner was discharged,
as there was no direct proof of his
connection with the affair.

Homestead Contests About Concluded

The hearings before United

Rogers of the cases wherein the
Forest Service filed protests against
the homesteads of numerous down
river people will be concluded to-
morrow. There have been 26 cases
heard and two more have been
continued until a later time.
A large number Of witnesses have
appeared for both sides, and the
hearings have proven very costly
to the homesteaders. The testi-
mony is being reviewed at the Spo-

has passed favorably on the cases
of the following up to this time:

phone ordinance asked for by the Inter-

telephone exchanges. =.

present and addressed the council on
the matter He stated that they under
stood that an uhfavorable report had
been made in their application. He re-
gretted that there was opposition to the
granting of franchise to his company,
as he thought the independent company
was entitled to credit for the part it has
played in developing telephone business
irthe- northwest and that perhaps later
the town would be glad to get an ex-
change from them. However they de-
sired to maintain toll stations and build
through the town, and would SUI mit an
amendment to the ordinance granting
them the right to use Second and Fourth
streets and the first two alleys running
north and south next adjoining Wash
ington avenue on each side.
The ordinance with amendment was
referred to the committee on judiciary
and legislation.
