 Not Harmful

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Does the Yuletide with its demand for Christ mas trees prove menance to the American forests? Does It lend to denudation of the timberlands?
 These are questions asked of the United States forestry service by those interested in the conversation of na- tional resources. The subject has ceived the serious consideration of the forestry bureau and the reply has been sent out that there need be no danger of destruction of the cutting of young evergreens for Christmas trees if done with discrimination. In young pine forests, 1t Is stated. that thinning out process can do no harm, but where trees are slashed in reckless manner the results are detrimental.
 T have thought good deal about the Christmas tree matter. said the chief forester, land have finally reached this conclusion: Trees are for use.

TREES IN HOLLAND.
All Streets ana Canals Rordersd With
 E!ms or Lindens.

The average Dutch town is an at traetive place in the suEaner months, since practically every street and canal .s bordercd with shade trees. which shut out the glare of the sun and offer cool and inviting avenues for the ex- ploration of the tourist The banks of these canals are generally terraced in two levels--the lower one for ware. houses and the upper for shops CT cd with trees
 At best city is an exceedingly poor location for tree culture. Narrow streets, with tab buildings. exclude the die giving sunlight; asphalt or closely paved walks prevent the necessary moisture from sinking into the ground and nourishing thirsty roots. and leak age from the gas mains is deadly poison to all vegetation For this req. son care should be exercised in the selection of the variety of trees for street planting in order to get the best results. In Holland time has demon. strated that rhe elm and linden should NC piiSSu III tue HlSt fanR. TOT mere are many examples of these species h Dutch towns which have withstood the ravages of more than two cen turies.

these trees could be put which would contribute so much to the happiness and good of mankind as their use for the children and family on Christmas day. So far as endangering the fu- ture forests is concerned, the effect is infintesimal, compared with the de- struetion caused by forest fires and wasteful numbering.
 It is estimated that 100000 Christ mas trees are used annually. If planted four feet apart these could be grown upon 1,400 acres of land. It is stated that the use of Christ mas trees is proved in Germany to be perfectly compatible with the well fare of the forest, and that the cut ting of Christmas trees where the per capital of consumption is the greatest, is means of improving the forests.

Michigan and Oregon, the great centers of the Christmas tree cutting industry. Shippers are now busy rushing the product Ito the mar ket.
 The total cut of trees yields the owners of lands about s160.000,000,
 while the "consumers' pay about 5000 ,0O0, shippers and dealers reap ing share of the profits.
 The city of Chicago which uses about 300,o00 trees annually, takes the bulk of Michigan's yield. That state also ships to Mississippi river sections and on to ports on the Great Lakes.
 Oregon's trees are cut more than those of any other state on the Paci- fic coast but the total cut of that state more than excels that of either Maine or Michigan.

was granted a divorce today on the
grounds of desertion and non-sup-
port. Che was given the custody Of
their only ch Id, but must pay the
prince $50 monthly.
Members OF the family OF the
prince are highly pleased. as they

The princess was the divorced wife

MEET JOE LASALLE

an all round bad man to mix with.
La Sale is training in Eugene at
present, and Is about 30 years of age
and weighs ISL pounds. O'Connell
will have to give him 40 pounds.
O'Counell and La Sale recently
wrestled at Eugene, and went two
hours and thirty-five minutes with
out throw, and the match was
called at midnight. II has been dis
tinctly understood between the two
wrestlers and all concerned that the
match next Friday night is to be to
the finish, the winner to take all.
O'Connell, although realizing he Is
getting far out of his class, says he
is anxious to meet La Sale and In
tends to give him a hard tussle.
This Is the second of the many
matches to come to Salem, and fans
are looking forward to the O'Connell
La Sale bout with mach interest,
owing to the fact that these two men
have made themselves prominent
with the world In general by their
fine work on the mat.
The managers of the match are
figuring on getting Frank Gotch to
give an exhibition match here, but IL
is not known as yet whether he will

The man was working on the side
of a very steeply sloping roof. All
of sudden his foot slipped, and with
a groan he began to slide slowly to-
ward the edge.
AS he slid, he clutched with tense
fingers at the tin. But it was smooth.
1t offered him no hold. And his speed
gradually, but surely increased.
AS, in sitting posture, like a to-
bogganer, the man continued his dead
~ slide, he began to pray in a loud,
anguished voice.
Memory, as If in answer to his pray
er. flashed across his brain the words:
Spread out"
The man instantly lay fiat on his
back, spreading arms and legs to their
widest angle. making himself as much
as possible like starfish. And his
speed at once decreased. The addition.
al friction rurface acted like brake.
A few feet from the edge Of the roof
he came tn anchor.

Martha Seemingly Justified About
Doubt as to 'Liza's 'Ligion.

Mrs. s. of New Orleans has for
many years been faithfully served by
two negro women who, although bound
by the tie of common devotion to their
mistress, yet detest each other cor
daily, so that the kitchen is the scene
of continuous battle.
Martha, the cook, is a leading light
in the church. At revival meetings
she was always the first to occupy the
Mourners' Bench, the first to shout
"Hallelujah" and to fall into those
contortions of body and outflinging of
limbs that to the African mean get
ting religion" Eliza, the maid of all
work, on the other hand, had always
been an unregenerate heather, scot
fling at religion, jeering at Martha, and
declaring no power on earth could in
duce her to go inside church. Great,
therefore, was Mrs. SIS surprise
on the occasion of the last revival to
find that it was Eliza and not Martha
who was attending the meetings.

In addition to the cash he dropped
the faro bank had his markers for
$500. The salesman was due to re-
turn to New York. He had overdrawn
on his expense account and didn't dare
to wire his firm for another dollar;
but he had to go home, and he had
to take up his $500 in faro bank
markers before leaving San Francisco.
He didn't know Lucky Baldwin ex-
cept in casual way. He always
stopped at Baldwin's hotel, had been
introduced to the old man, was on
nodding terms with him in the lobby
and that was all.
The salesman, pretty well worked
up over his troubles, strolled into the
bar before breakfast one morning to
get supporting snifter. Lucky sifted
in about half minute behind him.
The two exchanged mods.
Called the Tenderfoot.
saw you playing some pretty fool
bank a couple of nights ago." Baldwin
remarked. The salesman hadn't seen
Baldwin at the faro bank. "Foolest
bank 1 ever saw" the old man went
on. you jumpers from the east have
as much idea of playing the bank as
a mountain lion has of playing the
harp. They took you, of course?"
The salesman replied that they sure
had taken him, taken him bad.
mot in any kind of mess over it,
are you, youngster?" inquired Baldwin.
Whereupon the New York salesman
opened up and told Baldwin just the
kind of mess he was in-fifteen hun
dred in bank markers to pay, no
money to return to New York, no
chance to ask the firm for more coin
without giving himself dead away, and
so on.
Baldwin listened with his wide sar.
donic grin, then dug for his roll and
skinned off six $500 bills and handed
the money to the salesman.
Take this and make good, and then
get back with your snow shovelers,
he said to the salesman-the old-time
Slopers still call eastern folk snow
shovelers in contemptuous allusion to
the rigors Of the casts winter climate.
Don't play any more bank until you
learn something about it. Banks a
grownup mans game. You stick to
mumbletypeg, son, and you won't get
trimmed"
The salesman would only take $4,000
of the money and had some trouble in
modifying the slightly-offended Lucky
ho
of the $500 bills, which he didn't need.
He quit San Francisco for New York
Tat evening, paid Baldwin the $4,000
