A Notable Tournament.

In class as well as in numbers, the
tournament this spring, from the play
today, promises TO be one Of the me st
notable events ever held at the Chevy
Chase Club. While the presence o. the
son of the Vice President is one draw
ing card, the wide interest aroused in
the spring competition in Washington,
is by no means confined TO his appear
ance
Allan Lard has become widely known
In national golf circles because Of his
performances during the past few
years at Palm Beach. He has sIeauiIy
improved In his playing. Veteran
players say that the form he showed
this morning when he defeated Sher-
man, makes him formidable contender
for the championship cup Of the present
tournament
His defeat yesterday did not discour-
age his supporters, who attributed II 10
a bad reversal OF form. He came
back with a vengeance this morning
and his long drives and careful putting
marked him as one Of the cleVsrest
players or the green.
The most remarkable feature of the
tournament so far has been the sur
vival Of the local players. This has
aroused intense interest amouE- CAPITAL
golfers, and accounts for much Of the
interest in this tourney. Club rivalry
has been forgotten in the great strife

NEWARK VS CAVE CITY
Ball Game Saturday Results in
 Victory For Newark

The Newark High School defeat. ed the Cave City Giants last Sat- urday on the Sulphur Rock dia- mond by score of ten to nine.
 The first part of the game was fast, but the latter part was slow ball. The size of the Cave City fellows caused the Newark boys to do their best for the first five innings. At first it looked like walk.oyer for Newark, as Cave City did not see second base until the fifth inning. But the tide turned in the fifth, and 1t seemed that Cave City was sure of the vic- tory, but good fielding and cool heads on the part of the home team, let the Cave Dwellers down in the ninth with score of nine to ten in favor of Newaak.
 The line up was as follows:

Weep not, dear Lena for your darling God needed one more angel child, Amidst His shining band,
 So He bent with loving smile And clasped your darling's hand.

FROM SUNNY CALIFORNIA
Newark Citizen Sends Greetings
 and Good Wishes

Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for dis turbing you, but 1 thought would drop you line to tell you how glad l am that you have gotten back to Newark. When you left there, l just felt like some one was dead or had left home for good. One reason l wanted you back is because Newark Is my home, and I hope l will soon be we'll and can come back. Be there ever so many flowers elsewhere, there is no place like home, sweet home.
 And another reason l wanted you back; who could understand, cherish and sympathize with New ark and her people in their hour of trouble like you couIdl
 Or who could chastise her for wrong doing like you!
 Some might get little mad, but those who wanted to do right never stayed mad long.
 Or who could boost the town as you have done? And l might go on and tell of so many ways in which The Journal has been use- ful to the town and surrounding country. 1 hope you have got all your subscribers back, and many more too, for l think you deserve them, even if you did take a little wild goose chase and run away.
 l hope the people have seen their mistake in letting you go away, and that they will love and treat you better than they ever did. and be as faithful to assist you as you have them.
 As for me. l am sincerely grate- ful that you are back in Newark again. Fraternally,
 A. k. ALEXANDER.

 We have some advanced studies added this year-Plane and Sol i'd Geometry, Latin Caesar and Beginners Latin Political Econo. my and Psychology. All these studies are being diligently handl- ed by the students. While the tenth grade is the limit of our curriculum, we accommodate any who choose t 5o come.

A BIG INCREASE MADE.

Uncle Sans national forests +
yielded an increase of 102 per +
+ cent in timber last year over +
+ the record for 1907. giving re- +
+ turns of sS49.O2724 to the +
+ government. Twenty-Five per /.

+ ions of the law. This revenue +
+ will he added to the states !.
+ fund for the support and main +
+ tenanee of roads and public +
+ schools. +
+ +++++ +++ + i.
The amount of timber cut from all
the national forests was 392g72OOO
feet, board measure, as against 1874,
S72 900 feet in the previous year.
This figure for 1908 does not include
the l31. .OS2,O00 feet given away TO
settlers. schools and churches under
free use" permits. This increase of
102 per cent shows far better use
and increasing productiveness of the
forest under conservative methods of
cutting. There was marked increase
i'll small sales last year. resulting in
an increase of 236 per cent in the
number of sales, Notwithstanding the
fact that the timber contracted for
was far less in the aggregate than in
1907
In making timber sales the forest
service seeks small in preference to
large sales. and aims to safeguard a
supply for future needs rather than
to swell the immediate receipts. Were
ii desired, the present receipts from
timber sales could be quickly doubled.
During the year it was found neces-
sary in the interest of continued
supply to restrict sales on many for
ests. Nevertheless. use of the ma
tional forests as a source of timber
supply was more general than ever
before.
The total receipts from timber
sales each year have been as follows:
1905, $50. 1906. $245.O13-
40; 1907. s66S.Sl3.12; 1905. SS49,-
027.2i
Payment for timber is always re-
quired in advance In large sales.
however. and in small sales on occas-
ion. payment is made in installments
so arranged as to protect the govern
ment against loss without imposing
unnecessarily severe burdens upon
the purchaser. Thus the receipts of
each year represent substantially, but
not exactly. the value of the timber
sold and removed during that year.
