Mr.. Atkinson stated that the
st. Bernard Mining Company be-
gan to plant trees on its lands
that had been considered no lon
ger valuable for the growth of
corn and tobacco, twenty years
ago. At that time he had not
considered how longit took trees
to grow to commercial size. He
found that out of thirty va
rieties of trees prominent as
forest trees in Kentucky, four
varieties were the best adapted
to the soil of the coal measure in
Western Kentucky. These are
the white oak, black walnut, ca.
talpa speciosa and tulip tree.
Examinations were made of
old trees when cut down to de-
termine their rate of growth and
it was found that the average
age of fiorty.fve white oaks in
Hopkins county upon reaching
twelve inches In diameter was 101
years. The Oldest tree was 1916
years when cut down with a di-
ameter Of Al inches. The follow
ing table was compiled by Mr..
Atkinson from personal expert
ence and examination, showing
the ages of various trees when
twelve inches in diameter:
Pine oak. 40 years
Black locust 49,. 40 years
Tulip. so years
Black oak. ........ so years
Black walnut. 56 years
Texas red oak. ...... ..5S years
Sweet gum. go years
Ash ..................72 years
The hickorles. 80 years
White oaks. 100 years
Black waluuts were planted
first, being planted in the au-
tumn with the hull on. The
ground was cultivated as for
corn and a pasturage was pre-
pared for when the trees should
be large enough In ten or twelve
years to permit it.
Black locusts were planted on
the poorer land because this tree
draws nitrogen from the air and
enriches the soil. The ground
was also drst cultivated for three
or four years and then sown in
bluegrass.
The catalpa is a tree from the
Wabash Valley which reaches a
diameter of two feet ia thirty
eight years and is very fine for
furniture, makes fine veneers,
and the most enduring fence

graph poles as it is lighter than
pine, superior to oak Tor furni-
ture, stronger tha0 oak, tougher

shrink or swell, and is excellent
for building purposes. When
once planted it becomes Perpet-
nal forest.
The tulip tree or 'yellow pop
lar" is planted on the good land,
iS5 to the acre. Altogether the
planted 1850, 900 trees.
The great enemies of our tim
Der industries and our future
wealth In timber, are CONNER
,ial greed aud the forest fire.
The latter has attracted much
attention from Mr.. Atkinson
Ind he stated that the chief IN
lucement in planting walnut
'orests and sowing them with
blue grass for pasturage was to
void the danger of fire. Cattle,
however, in grazing, destroy
much of the young growth, and

| sts" IN the morning, while in
] he afternoon the students of
he Mining Engineering College
Iprofited by the counsel and adj
vice of Kentucky's foremost coal
operator.
Mr.. Atkinson was born in
New Jersey, but locating in Ken
lucky as a young man, he has
become a kentuckian of Ken
tuckians, and one of the most
successful men of business in the
country. His company owns
many thousand acres of valuable
mineral and timber lands, and is
constantly increasing its hold
ings. 1t has been due to Mr..
Atkinson's far. slghted policy ori-
ginated years ago, that these
lands Will not become worthless
when all their mineral wealth
has been extracted. He was in
vited as guest of the State Uni
versity to tell from his actual
experience of more than a quart
eI Of a century. the results Of ex-
periments now being popularity
advocated by others.
His address at night was illus
trated by stereopticon views and
aroused much interest among
those fortunate enough to hear
him. The economic value of
forestry preservation as related
to agriculture, river navigation,
mining, prevention of foods, aud
kindred SUBJECTS was discussed
IN a manner to make this one of
the most important contribU-
tons to knowledge ever present
ed to the university. Some of
the statistics were startling.
Mr.. Atkinson brought out the
following facts:
For fifty years, from 1850 to J
1900, statistics show that the
consumption Of our timber has
increased from 215 feet per CAPT
ia with a population of rs mil
hon, aud in 1907 there was 40
billions of feet cut in the United |
States. This has been estimated |
to represent a value of 1906, OO0,-
600 besides furnishing 100000
600 cords OF fire wood, 1 600, 000,-
600 posts, lis million slaves, 1873
million sets of heading, 3 million
cords of native pulp, 500, 600, 600
barrel hoops, 1855 million cubic
feet of mine timber and nearly a
million and quarter cords of
wood distilled. There are still
$50 million acres Of forest in the J
United States, and the forest re-
serve covers only one.fourth of
this with one-fifth of the stand
ing timber. Scientific forestry
is practised on 20 per cent of the
public forests, but on only per
cent of the private ones. The an
nual growth of timber is estimate
ed at less than 7.hillion cubic feet
or less than ID cubic feet to the
acre, while there is a consump.
ton of waste of 8 cubic feet to ]
of growth. At this rate not
many years will be taken to ]
break our timber bank.
The speaker then compared {
the care which European cOun- 4
tries expend on their forests and {
the revenue derived from them \
with those of our own country.
He showed that where scientific I
forestry Is practiced, the quality

million feet Of timber cut from
her, and increase of 9S per cent
over 1906. An average of $50
millions per year for the past
twenty-seven years has placed
Kentucky in grave danger of los
ing her timber industry very
soon unless scientific forestry is
taken up by her people as sug-
gested by Mr.. Atkinson, who
said that forests were necessary
to cur life, and civilization. Hs
appealed to our patriotism and
oar business Instincts. He also
showed the great loss of soil and
destruction of property by flood
due to the denuding of our
moantains aad water sheds of
the trees which prevent such
things by holding the soil tc-
gether and helping to drink up
the excess of rainfall.
1t was suggested that if the
BO7 timber eat, valued at $l9,-
600 had been taxed s per cent it
would about equal the revenue
derived from the II l-2 cent per
acre tax. Mt. Atkinson stated
that he believed the theory Of
free forests and revenue from
the Droduct of the forest would
aid ia the solution of the tax
question. The man who planted
trees would have an inducement
as woald not be taxed on has
growing crop until lac had sold
his trees.
We must understand that
there will never be cheap lum-
Der again because it will require
of skilled foresters
to repair the damage done by |
our cutting three feet of timber
10 every one foot grown.

district. This is not her first at
tempt at suicide, having twice tried

Her second attempt was made a

several antiseptic tablets. Had it
not been for the prompt attendance
of a physician at that time, the I'M
fortunate woman would have been
life which has been an extremely I'M
happy one. Several days following
the %occuranse she left for Denver.

acid in her o at 1908 Welton
street. shortly before 2 O'Clock this
morning, Mrs. Hattie Currier Kelly,
aged 20, attempted to end her life,
which, she claims, has been clouded
by domestic troubles. FIRED Woods,
a roomer at the house, was attracted
to Mrs. Kelly's room, arriving there
in time to wrest the bottle from her
hands, but not before she had
swallowed a portion of the contents.
Mrs. Kelly was partially conscious
when Police Surgeon Preston, who
was summoned by Patrolman Camp
bell, arrived at the house. She fought

was detailed with the ambulance,
when they worked over her. She
begged to be allowed to die, and when
they started to put the stomach
pump into action had to be held by
several men. She vas later taken to
the county hospital in the police
ambulance. where it is reported she
is improving.
From what is told at the house,
Mrs. Kelly did not return until late
last night. She did not mention
where she had been, and had but lit
tie to say to Mrs. S. Hubbard, the
landlady, and Woods, who were talk

Woods says she entered her room
and came out n a few minutes, dressed

then returned to her bedroom and,
