Forest Service Defends
Use of Christmas Trees

The country's forests have again
been called upon to supply about 4,
100000 Christmas trees, and again
many persons have asked themselves
and have queried the United States
Forest Service. els the custom men
ace to the movement for forest preser-
vation?"
''Yes, it is consistent and proper
that the custom should be maintain
ed." has been the answer of United
States Forester Pinchot In every case.
"Trees are for use. and there is no
other use to which they could be put
which would contribute so much to
the JOY of man as their use by the
children on this one great holiday of
the year.
"The number of trees cut for this
use each year is utterly insignificant
when compared to the consumption
for other purposes for which timber
is demanded. Not more than 4. 900.
600 Christmas trees are used each
year. one in every fourth family.
If planted four feet apart they could
be grown on less than 1900 acres.
This clearing of an area equal to q
good sized farm each Christmas should
not cause much worry. when it is re-
mem bered that for lumber alone 1t il
nece .sary to take timber from All area
of more than 100. 900 acres every day
of the year.
cit is true that there has been ser
| lous damage to forest growth in the
cutting of Christmas trees in various
sections of the country. particularly
| in the Adirondacks and parts of New
England. but in these very sections
the damage through the cutting OF
young evergreens for use at Christmas
is infinitesimal when compared with
the loss Of forest resources through
fires and careless methods of lum ber-
ing. The proper remedy is not to
stop using trees. but to adopt wiser
methods of use.
It is generally realized that Ger
tain proportion of land must always
be used for forest growth. just as fol
other crops. Christmas trees are one
form of this crop. There is no more
reason for an outcry against usins
land to grow Christmas trees than tt
grow flowers
Germany is conceded to have tht
highest developed system of forest
management of any country. yet itl
per capita use of Christmas trees il
greatest. Tue cutting of small trees
for Christmas is not there considered
in the least as menace to the forest
but. on the contrary. as a means Of
improving the forest by thinning anG
as a source of revenue. 1t is there
fore constantly encouraged.
There is little doubt but that the
time will come when the Christina:
tree business will become recogniz
ed industry in this country, and that
as much attention will be given to il
AS will be given to the growing o1
crops of timber for other uses.

RESENTS CHARGES
INFERRING GRAFT
ALDERMAN AMERLAND ANGERED
AT INSINUATIoNS MADE CON-
CERNING WATERWORkS SITE
AND ADDITION PLACED ON
SALE.

The report of Consulting Engineer
Pillsbury on the electric lighting prop
osition came UP at the adjourned meet
ing of the city council last evening
and considerable threshJng was done
before the matter was finally disposed
of.
Objection was raised by Alderman
Early to the expense that had been
incurred and some cross firing was
done on this point.
The matter of the location of the
plant was brought up and it was at
this stage that the session got some
what heated. The report of the COM
mittee. including the report of the en-
gineer had been received and placed
on file. Little enthusiasm was shown
by the council in the matter. Refer
ence was made to the waterworks and
certain addition to the city that is
being sold at the present time.
Near the close of the meeting Alder
man Amerland took the floor and in no
uncertain manner answered the
charges and petty insinuations that he
might be connected with some graft in
the matter.
IF the council is displeased with
the work of this committee, we will
stop right here" said Mr.. Amerland.
IF we have not the confidence of the
council there is no use in going any
further. 1t would be better to appoint
another committee ana let 1t take UP
the work There is lots more to be
done in the line of investigating The
waterworks was located south Of the
city on the advice Of three competent
engineers and I resent the insinua-
tions that there has been any graft
in this matter. You all know that the
site for the waterworks was purchased
four months before the present owners
got control of South Park"
Alderman Clapp moved that the re-
port be referred back to the special
committee for further investigation,
especially with reference to the loca-
ton Of the pumping station downtown
where the exhaust steam might be
used

DISCOURSES ON
The Side LINE.
SAMPLE CASE DISCUSSES THIS
PROPOSITION WHICH is or
WIDE INTEREST AMONG THE
TRAVELLING FRATERNITY-DE-'
PENDs ON YOUR CONTRACT.

Sample Case: There has appeared
some sage moralizing in publications
over the discharge OF a travelling
salesman out west who carried side,
line without the knowledge or consent
Of his employer OF the man who
would do this by stealth there is MOTH
ing to be said. His theft of mis- en-
ployer's time met with it's just de-
serts. There are firms, however, who
permit of the carrying OF side lines
by their statesmen and who even en-
courage their statesmen TO take them
on to make their travels upoGe profit
able to themselves where the side
lines do not conflict with the main
selling line. There are still other sue
cessful statesmen engaged in a kind of
travelling brokerage. representing a
number of allied lines of goods, eachS
line perhaps sold for a different firm
and all sold on a commission basis.
There can be no legitimate exceptions
taken to the handling of side lines uu-
der either of the above circumstances,
hence the journalistic head weighing in
the first mentioned instance cannot in
the nature Of things, have a general
application The handling OF sideI
lines by statesmen is largely, if not en-
tirefy. a matter of contractural arr
engagements. II the employing Arm de-
mands all of the time of the sales-S
man and the salesman is willing to
give this for the consideration inyolv-
ed T1at shuts out the side lines: hut
II the contract as to pay is based upon
orders taken from q more or less lin
tied trade WITHOUT reference to the
hours OF work TO be performed. who
is there to blame the commercial trav-
eler for looking about dor other things
to sell He is usually OF robust health
and is certainly not travelling to see,
the country.

Stands our own Duluth, and to say
the truth.

We've all heard of the fellow who

If the executive officers of the rail-
way lines in Missouri have their way,
there will be all kinds of passenger
rates in force in that state. They
propose to issue a 1000 mile inter-
changeable book on certificate plan at
2 cents a mile, 500 mile book good
for bearer on all lines in Missouri at
24 cents a mile and 500 mile book
good for the individual only on the
line OF railroad issuing at at 2A cents
mile. The cent basis will prevail
for single trips, with a 10 per cent,
reduction on round trip tickets Trav-
elers would like to see the az cent
rate good for bearer, but are not par
ticularly interested in the other rates
scheduled.
That hotel is not a bank is Judi
cially set forth in a decision by a
Missouri court in a case where a
guest of a Kansas City hotel left in
the Office $54O for safe keeping and
later paid his bill and left. Three
weeks afterwards he returned for the
money, which could not be found. The
court held that when the plaintiff
paid his bill and surrendered the KEY
to his room he ceased to be a guest
Of the house and the hotels respon-
sibility to him as to deposits of money
likewise ceased. Had he continued as
a guest and the money been lost, there
would have been no question of the
hotels responsibility.
