The Fleet Off New England.

The fleet of the United States is
off the coast of New England. During
the next few weeks it's vessels will
engage in maneuvers in the North
Atlantic waters. 1t is no longer the
White Squadron. The change I'M
color to gray has been made. Other
alterations resulting from observa-
tions made during the world encir-
cling voyage are noted. But the spir-
it is the same. And the appeal made
by the vessels is the same. People
like to look upom the fighting fleet
Of our country.
AT this season of the year when
the coast towns of New England are
filed with their summer visitors, the
assembling of the warships means a
great quickening of interest in the
American navy. Some of the yes
sells r particularly attractive be
cause they bear the names of New
England states. The Connecticut is
the flagship. With it are the Ver-
mont, the New Hampshire, the Maine
and the Rhode Island. When all the
vessels have reported for duty there
will be seventeen frst-class ships i'm
the fleet.
There will he torpedo boats and
destroyers, submarines, and auxil-
aries, so that the rendezvous will
show the largest and most powerful
collection of fighting vessels ever as
sembled in American waters. New
England history is rich i'm the annals
of the sea The hardy sons of that
section for many generations have
turned toward the ocean near by for
a livelihood difficult to. gain from the
scanty soil. In mo part of our great
domain is the interest in all things
maratime more active. With the sum-
mer home Of the president a mecca
for pilgrims and the fleet in the adj
joining waters a spectacle for. the
multitude, New England is contented
with the prospects for vacation en-.
joyment.
The discussion in the French cham
Der of deputies comes just at the
right time too. The Temps does not
accept the conclusions of one prom
inent speaker in that body that Ger
many's fleet follows that of Great
Britain in Importance. 1t places THE
United States second in the list, land
ing again the wonderful accomplish
ment of sending sixteen ,battleships
around the globe. It declares that
all English authorities class this
country as second among the naval
powers Of the world. The knowledge
of this Judgment by the nations will
lend added interest to the coming
maneuyers.-Chicago Tribune.

The current issue of the Saturday

European farmers utilize barren
spots on their farms, hillsides and

not sufficiently rich to Justify crop

and of chestnut orchards. The fer
Utility of the soil of the United States,
unusually rich as it is, has in many
places become exhausted by unset
entific methods of farming. The
Americana farmer, however, is too
progressive to permit a waste to
go on beyond repair. Sooner or later
me will profit by the experience Of
the farmers of the old world, and
will take up the task in good earnest
of conserving the natural resources
OF the country. The government is
accomplishing a great deal I'M arous-

The Timber Supply.

Nobody knows exactly what the
timber supply of the United States
is. There has never been a timber
census taken in this country. With
few exceptions no state has made
close estimates of its forest resour-
lces. But the demand for information
on the subject which has attended
recent agitation has been SO marked
that the department of agriculture
has prepared a pamphlet in which
an attempt Is made to give a fairly
accurate showing of the facts. The
assistant forester, who is RESPONSE
BILE for the compilation, has collected
his data from many resources. He
claims no special authority. On the
contrary he invites criticism and
correction of statements in the inter-
est Of more complete knowledge of
actual conditions.
The original forests of the United
States were found in five distinct
areas, called for classification pur-
poses. southern, central, Rocky
mountain, and Pacific coast. The
estimate Is made that they covered
85O,OO0,0O0 acres ana contained g.
200, 600, 900, 900 board feet of saw
timber, according to present STAN
dards of utilization. There were
100, 100000 acres of scrubby forest
and brush land. principally in the
west, which has been available for
post and fuel material.
Cutting, clearing and fire have re-
.duced this enormous acreage OF
850.O0O,O 900 to 55O.00O,0OO. The
100000, 100000 board feet have
dwindled to $500. 900 100000. The
stand OF timber in every region has
been reduced in greater proportion.
than the actual forest acreage. The
clearings In the central portion OF
the country to- make q place for
rich farms account for that. A first
examination Of these estimates leads
the reader to wonder why 90 much
has been said OF the e1haustion Of
the forests. The supply seems album
:dant enough for . great many years.
Further study ots the statistics IN
the pamphlet. however, reveals the
reason for anx.ety. b e4yearly drain

The Vermillion Republican says
the Missouri river is still continuing
its ravages in the way of eating into
the land on the South Dakota side.
A good share Of the old Waterman
farm has been carried away by the
cutting of the stream, and other land
in the neighborhood is suffering in
the same manner. Last week the
artesian well on the Waterman place
which was located between the house
and the barn Tor rather where the
house and the barn once stood) was
washed out and is no more. If this
rate keeps up it will not he many
years before the river is back in its
old channel. The Missouri River
Navigation congress meets in Yank-
ton, and we would suggest that one
Of its principal acts should be the
unanimous adoption of a memorial
to congress asking that immediate
steps he taken to prevent any further
encroachment of the Big Muddy on
South Dakota soil or any other out
side of it's present channel.

The Republic iron and steel COM
pany of Pittsburg posted notices the
first of the week that on July / all
it's mills would be conducted on the
open shop plan, thus adding its force
to that of the Steel Corporation,
which had announced a similar pol
icy to go into operation on the same
date in its American Tin Plate Com
tpany plant. Neither company
would again have formal relations
as to wage scale with the Amalga-
mated Association. The men in the
various plants Of the TRUST and the
independent company were prepar-
ing to strike, although a certain pro-
portion of them had opposed this ac-
tom, contending that there had been
SO much idleness in the last two
years that they we're in debt and
could not afford to be again idle
now. The majority prevailed and an
order issued by President McArdle
of the Amalgamated Association
compelled no less than 10000 en-
ployes of the American Tim Plate
Company to quit their jobs at 10
O'Clock midnight of June 80. Wednes-
day. The Independent tin plate
companies have quite generally sign
ed the scale with the association.

Rapid City is to be congratulated
that a hospital is about to be estab-
lished within its borders. While the
enterprise is of s%emi-private nature,
the institution is open to all and de-
serves the consideration of everyone
who may need of its service. The
physicians who are at the head of
the institution are skilled in their
profession, amid have the universal re-
spect of the people of Rapid City.
A w%ell-equipped hospital such as this
promises to be has been a long felt
want here, and its success assured.

The current issue Of the Scientific
American reports that federal experts
and several Kentucky whisky maxi
ers have now approved the process
invented by James Howden, a Scotch
man, for fastening artiicially the
chemical changes in straight whisky
which heretofore only age was sup
posed to produce. Howden found
that the alcohols and bases OF salts
and acids could be artificially digest
ed by subjecting them to high tenn
,peratures, and the raw flavor remov-
ed by the addition of a fractional
percentage of sulphuric acid. In this
way Within three days the desired
4esters' or flavoring bodies are form
ed and the fusil oils removed, while
the final distillate is employed. The
Scientific American is Of the belief
that this nrocess will enable the
straight whisky maker to comply
with the rectif1ers. Prof. Hilgard of
the California University Is quoted
as saying that the new process IL
quor sis lesssliable to produce serious
cerebral nervous disorders"

an enlisted man of the coast artil-

his intention Of becoming a citizen
Of the United States, and gave his
residence as Brooklyn, N. Y. He en-
listed In the army and since 1904,
has been employed On a vessel en-
gagged in planting mines. The YES
sci Is now at San Francisco, where
he applied for completion of his nat
uralization, but the application was
denied on the ground that service in.
