The Union Pacific got its fran
chise over Pacific avenue last
night by vote of IL to in the
city council.
Only Rankin, Jameson, Lynn,
Wflkeson and Turnbull stood for
the people.
The citizens unanimously, after
going over the whole situation
down where the road is to cross
Pacific avenue, voted in a mass
meeting to demand that the COM
pany give up to the city the tri-
angle block at Seventeenth and
Pacific for the widening OF the
streets there.
The council repudiated this de-
mand of the citizens and the Har-
riman interests have been busy
want for practically nothing. The
company can go ahead now and
place posts in the main street of
the city and build its viaduct prac-
tically to suit itself and the peo-
pie get nothing in return.
hC representative Oh Tie nat
riman interests have been busy
with the councilmen for some
weeks ever since the citizens
mass meeting. Councilman Kre-
ger was given a job tearing down
the U. p. buildings ON Jefferson
avenue. OF course this may have
had nothing to do with HIS vote In
favor of the franchise, but the u.
p. got his vote anyway.
Brand and Russell also desert
ed the cause of the people and
yesterday the Hartman agents
announced that they had enough
to win so they had the ordinance
taken from the table last night
and passed.
Then Billy WEIGH took such city
dads as he could corral and tset-
em-up" at the Donnelly bar after
the meeting, at Harriman's ex-
Ipense.

the engineers will get busy al once

eminent had foreclosed, and was
operating 1t under a receivership.
Hartman, the borrower, got $751;
100000 and bought the road.
Then Hartman began to make
his dreams come true. He went
over the road like a physician,
doctoring its physical and finan-
cial Ills. One great handicap it
had-no outlet to the coast. So
1t extended only from Kansas
City on the east to Ogden in the
west. Then Hartman went after
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company and the Oregon Short
line and got them. This brought
him into Portland, and within
striking distance of Puget Sound.
Now he turned south. Old Col
lis p. Huntington, builder and
president of the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific, was
resting on his laurels. Hartman
modestly wanted the Central Pa
cific which ran from Ogden into
Frisco. Huntington laughed at
him of course. So Hartman
started another company to build
q parallel line. Huntington died
before this plan could be carried
through, but the bluff worked
with his estate, and Hartman
Immediately took over the S. p.
and the G. P.
This added $500 miles to the
Hartman ownership at one stroke
and Hartman became a national
figure.
Then came the Northern Paci-
fic Burlington Great Northern
merger. Hartman, modest as al
ways, wanted in on this. Jim Hill
waved him aside. So Hartman
took the offensive by going after
the Northern Pacific. The result
was the greatest railroad fight

The report furthermore recon.
mends the establishment of state for.
ests from tax lands and by purchase
as has alredy been done by many
states In the country.
The forests of Florida have lasted
longer than In many states. perhaps
because the state has been more gen.
erousy endowed with valuable
growth. The need OF forest preserva-
tlon has not been SO apparent in the
past. but those who understand the
present conditions in Florida and in
other states should be alive to the me-
cessity of taking some action to cut
wisely what forests remain. and pro-
vide for regeneration on lands that have
already been denuded The report
explains the present situation In de-
tail and points the way for wiser
consideration in the future.
The south, with 81 per cent. of the
total area of the United States. con
talns about AZ per cent of the total
forest area of the country. The for.
est area by states is as follows: Ala

The south. 1t will be seen, has still
much of the virgin forest of the
country. This forest must be used
OF course, In order to meet the steadily
expanding wants of the section. 1t
must be used in such manner, how
ever. that the very most may be made
from its annual cut. while at the

the forest industries during the past
few years has been phenomenal.
While the agricultural development

being cut over will not be needed for
agricultural purposes for many years
TO come. In the meantime the tim

bering. The opportunity to organize
aud adopt plans of forest manage
ment should not be delayed until the
forest lands have all been cut over.
Many states have temporarily de.
yeloped at the expense OF their for.
est interests and have realized too
late the disastrous effects of wasting
their forest resources

present time. On the southern coast
of New England sea beaches were
thrown up about fifty feet higher than
those which are formed now. Along
the southern shore of Maine the land
had sunk so much that sea shells are
found in clay deposits $50 feet above
the present sea level The Champlaip
and st, Lawrence valley was so much
depressed that whales sported in salt
water over the site of Middlebury col
lege, Vermont and seals ventured into
an arm OF the sea extending far up
into the Ottawa river, while at Mon
treal modern sea shells are found 500
feet above present tide water upon
the top of the mountain which gives
the city its name. Going farther
north the indications are that upon
the shores of the Arctic sea post
glacial subsistence amounted to / 900
feet. Everywhere across the continent
there is cumulative evidence that this

it increased in amount from south to

sideration to be kept in mind in work

preston at the close of the glacial
period caused the great lal- s to flow

While these general facts concern
ing changes in land level in ancient
geological times beyond all question
are very impressive, less attention
than they merit has been given to
the facts showing that corresponding
changes are still going on, and have
produced striking results within re-
cent times. aud point to interesting
conclusions with reference to the flu
ture, In connection with the glacial
period, which is the most recent of all
the geological epochs, these changes
of level are very evident, and connect
themselves with the early history of
mankind. At the close of the tertiary
period. which eliminated in the
glacial era. the central and northern
part of North America stood at a
level of 1000 or 1000 feet above that
1t at present occupies. This is proved
by the existence of innumerable chan
nels now deeply buried by glacial de-
bris, or extending out into the ocean
across the shallow, submerged shelf
OF the continent both upon the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts In Illinois, In
Ohio and in central New York these
buried channels are found down be-
low sea level, showing that the land
must have been very much elevated
to allow the streams which crossed
these rocky gorges to make their way
to the sea from these distant inland
points. The cities of Cleveland, o.,
and Syracuse. N. Y, are built over
such buried gorges. The Delaware,
the Hudson and the st. Lawrence
rivers then emptied into the sea, run
ming through deep gorges or canyons,
which crossed a level coastal plain.
The fiords of Greenland and of Nor
way and OF the Pacific coast of North
America bear similar testimony, since
they probably, in most cases, mark
the lines of ancient rivers which
coursed through them to the sea when
the land was SO much elevated that
what are now the bottoms of these
channels We're occupied by rushing
mountain torrents. In short, these
fiords are drowned river valleys.

There will be two skits. In one
Alfred Goulding will do his best to
show how to get rid of mother-in-

whole lot of fun about the Taking

Mcnamara and Frank Cherry both
get seasick, something they have
never before been known to do.
The first part of the program Is
filled with clever songs and dances,
/ not to mention other stunts that the
good young actors have at their fin
gers ends. Alfred Goulding will
/ give some limitations of Harry Lau-
der, the famous Scotch comedian
who gets $3.50 night for being

sing some catchy songs in her own
