TO REFoREsT MICHIGAN.
Partnership Between State and Bus
inessmen Is Suggested.


Lansing, Mich, Feb. 7.-Seeretary
A. c. Carton proposed to the state
public domain commission recently a
new scheme OF reforestation for this
state which he believes will aid great
ly in setting the proposition of again
covering the lighter lands OF upper
Michigan with a growth of CONNER
cial timber.
Norway poplar has been suggested
as timber which reaches market
size in about Is years and is suitable
for northern Michigan. Some tracts
OF it are now being grown there.
He proposes that the state enter in
TO a partnership with business men
under which IT will furnish the land
and the companies reforest them with
poplar. the state TO share in the pro-
fits. The greatest hindrance TO refor-
estation projects is said to be the
taxes which have to be paid during the
years the trees are growing. This
would be met, he urges by the state
retaining title TO the lands. and If the
returns at the end Of 15 years were
sufficient to recompense the state for
taxes not paid it is believed il would
be a profitable investment. Business
men are ready to take hold of the
project on this basis. II is stated.

Yes
How much have the "Acts" and

from the railroads?
About SO, 100000, or II per cent of
the total received by them in year
ending June both, 1908, for handling
the mail and furnishing postal cars.
Is there any Justification in such
"Acts" and ORDERS?
Not from any point of view.
Labor, material, and the price of
everything have advanced materially.
Yet in the face Of conditions that, in

railway mail pay is practically the

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

A saw, a long handled pair of pruning
shears, a short-handle pair, and the ne
cessary ladders, will fill average needs
in the pruning line.
Simply pull up any weeds which sue

to hoe or cultivate the fruiting bed in

Cue out all canes that fruited last season
(should have been done last fall; also

Don't think the old orchard is past

Clean out all bad limbs. Spray and

RAILWAY MAIL PAY

If all mail were carried in storage
4 cars, how much would it reduce the
\ car miles?
About 1853 millions year.
And this 1853 millions is due to the
post office features?S
Yes.
What's the average number of cars
in passenger trains in the u. S.?
8e5.
What proportion of that is mail cars?
About II per cent.
4 What's the average earnings OF

$126 per train mile.
Does that include all mail and ex-
press earnings?
1t does.
Does mail pay IL per cent OF

No. 1t contributes only 0.4o. per
train mile Or rs per cent. TO pay IL
per cent of average earnings, mail
would have to pay Al per cent more
than it does.
Il What's the average cost of running
passenger trains?
1 G.47 per mile.
j If U. s. mail paid its fair share of
this cost Tor II per cent? what would
it be2
1910. per train mile.
Then it is costing the railroads 10. IL
cents to furnish space for which they
receive 9. a cents, or u per cent more
than they get for itP
More nearly 100 per cent when to
operating expenses are added taxes,
interest on bonds, etc.
4 AS population grows denser, does
amount of mail increase?
i Certainly.
II Then in time the increase in weight
brings proportionately increased pay?
1t does to the U. Sits same post

land grant roads it is S34. 20.-When it
is an average of 5000 pounds, or 20
times as great, the rates are $17l and
$186,S0, only four times as great.
intermediate weights are proportional.
Is this reduction voluntary one on
the part of the railways?
1t is not.

HELD ON THE CHARGE OF
SUBORNATION OF PERJURY
Arrest Follows Trial for Imper'
Sonating Federal Officer

Sigel e. Skinner, lately freed from
the charge of impersonating federal
officer after long trial in the United
States court, was arrested yesterday
in Ell Centre by Deputy United States
Marshal Durlin, on the charge of sub
ornation of perjury, and he will be
brought to Los Angeles this morning
for trial. The arrest was made on an
indictment returned by the new fed
eral grand jury in the United States
district court Tuesday. Bail has been
fixed at $4,000.
The offense is alleged to have been
committed about three years ago in
connection with a land office case in
which affidaVits are authorized by the
law. 1t is said that others are in
volved in the indictment, but federal
officials wish to conceal the names
until after they are detained.
Skinner was acquitted about month
ago on the charge of impersonating a
United States officer. He was indict-
ed in that case nine months ago. he
has served a long time in jail in de-
fault of bail.
