Forests of the North

Capitalists have To ng had wistful eyes on the splendid for ests of southeastern Alaska. A recent bulletin of the Depart ment of Agriculture says that in this locality the average rainfall is about ninety inches and the trees grow to a large size. In the central plateau of Alaska the precipitation is less than Is inches and the average size of timber is small.
 The total forest area ofAlaska is approximately 100 million acres, about 27 per cent ot the land area. Of this about 20 mil lion acres bear timber of suffi- cient size and density to be used as saw timber.
 The stand of trees averages for considerable areas 1000 feet per acre. The usual timber cut in the coast forests of alaska is about 7,OOO,OOO board feet, almost entirely spruce. The southern and southeastern coast having a much larger timber supply than will be needed To- cally for a long time to come, much of the hemlock should be cut and the spruce given an op portunity to increase. The cut ting that has so far taken place on the coast of Alaska has had but small effect upon the forest; the bulk is yet untouched.

Hitchcock's Status

Washington. D. C. Aug. 13,- Not long ago local paper ven- tured to make a few speculations regarding the starus of Steam Roller Hitchcock with the Administration. The Postmaster General is just home from where he went for a rest and recreation, and the fact that he went away without bidding the President good bye looked suspicious to some people. They thought also that since the President acquired a new private secretary he had not consulted Hitchcock so much as he had done formerly, and they argued that the President did not feel quite so much in need of the services of the man who managed the Republican National campaign. Since then still another thing has happened. The President has sent Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts on a trip to see how things are lining up throughout the coun- try. Formerly the pilot of the steam roller in politics did this sort of scouting. That may be another sign that Hitchcock is no longer the high authority on politics he used to be in the Cabinet.
 However, there may be another explanation of all this. 1t may merely mean that the Postmas- ter Generalis preparing to wan der down to Arizona and estab- fish a residence in the soon-to- become-a state so that the grateful people there may send him to the United States Senate Mir. Hitchcock is said to have helped considerably to get the statehood bill passed. He has often gone to New Mexico and Arizona on hunting and vacation trips, and it is understood that he would be willing to be chosen Senator from one of the prospec tive states.

Territory to Pay
 Election Expenses

Secretary Young Wednesday served notice on the board of supervisors that the territory, acting for the government, will pay all the expenses of the cleo tions to be held in Arizona in connection with the new state. Young asks that the supervisors buy all election supplies on com petitive bids, and that vouchers be sent to him. He declares that the secretary's office will even pay all the clerks and all election boards. Thomas ex- pressed some doubt this morn ing about the legal right of the secretary to assume these duties as the laws ot 1901, under which the elections are to be held place such matters III the hands of the boards of supervisors. Congress appropriated $1OO,- 900 for conducting the state hood elections, and it is this fund that Secretary Young will handle in paying the bills con- tracted III the several countless Democrat.

Why Arkansas
 Must Advertise

They say that Arkansas is awakening. That's absolutely true, And it's high time.
 Looking around over the state it's a bit hard to believe that Arkansas is a century old. If one wished to be merely compli. mentary, he might say Of her that she bears her age remark ably well. If he wished to be critical, he might say that she has dawdled along inexcusably in her growth and development.
 After a hundred years of life, any state lying right in the heart of things, inconceivably rich in all natural resources, with farming lands equal to any de mand that may be made upon them, ought to have "got some w here" Arkansas h a mt Compare her development with that of any neighbor state, and she is miles and miles hehind.
 Whats the trouble? How does it happen that Oklahoma, for instance, i'll her callow youth lying right next door. has won recognition in a decade while Arkansas, with as much or more to offer i'll opportunities has lag ged and drowsed for ten times that span? There's just one possible answer. 1 don't know the motto of the state of Arkan. sas but it might be th1s: We don't advertise. That expresses exactly the spirit of the state in the last hundred years.

CHANGES IN AREA OF MANZANO NATIONAL
 FOREST

Washington, D. C., July 19.- The President has signed a pro- clamation which adds 194,512 acres to the total area of the Manzano National Forest, New Mexico. As matter of fact, PCS, 67O acres have been put in to the forest, but, at the same time, S4, 4,15S acres have been eliminated from 1t. The elimina- tions are made at various points along the exterior bound dary be- tween the Tejon grant in San- dOval County and Mountainair in Torrance County, and are the result of a careful field examina- tion, under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture which showed that the areas eliininat- ed are not chiefly valuable for National Forest purposes, but are more suited for agriculture or grazing. or they are so gener- ally alienated as to make Nat ional Forest administration of them impracticable.
 The additions consist of Sec | 32, in T. 10 N., R. 7 E., and a large tract lying south of Noun tainair, known locally as the Chupadero Mesa. This is up- land country, supporting a for est cover of heavy pinon and juniper, and averages five or six cords to to the acre and on small areas as much as twenty-five cords. The total stand is esti- mated at 1,2OO, ,OOOcords. This area is tributary to the Chupa- dero valley, in which there is much land which, in the near future, may prove valuable for agricultural purposes.
 The Mt. Taylor Division, form erly a portion of the Manzano o Forest, has been transferred to the Zuni. The elimination of the San Mateo Springs grant is pro- bably the most important of the changes in the Mt. Taylor sec ton. Other areas were thrown out both east and west of the Bartholeme Fernandez grant and southeast of the Felipe Taf- oya grant.
 | The unappropriated portions of the lands eliminated by this proclamation will be restored to settlement and entry after they shall have been advertised i'll the local papers by the Secretary of the Interior.

Are Men Shy of the Business Girl as Wife?

Harry married the stenographer who
worked in the same Office with him. She
thought beans always came baked IN
little brown jars.
Tom married a girl IN the auditing de-
partment OF the big store where he
clerked. They are boarding.
Jim married an artist She stu has
her own studio. and they live in an apart
ment presided over by a deft maid.
Charlie chose a Librarian. whose sweet,
refined face and obliging ways attracted
his attention when he sought reading

best cook books, but Of the contents Of
these books. or its application. she IS

cases. they marry a girl whom they met

KITCHEN INFORMATION.

From the Boston Herald.
To keep bread and butter fresh and
moist put in a cool place and cover close

This will keep the bread as moist as when

You can make an old ice-chest look

a strong washing powder. Let dry, put
on a thick coat Of white enamel, and let

A housekeeper found the following a
simple rule in deciding whether to use
hot or cold water for cooking purposes:
Use hotwater for all things that grow
such as potatoes or turnips,
and cold water for those growing above
ground.
When a goblet or tumbler is cold after
being washed, it takes longer to dry and
polish. It is best to leave such articles
in pan of warm water and dry each
glass as 1t is lifted from the water. This
is a helpful hint when cleaning cupboards

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

One does not need money or influence
to be useful 10 others. for there are
hosts OF little ways in which kind
thoughts can be turned 10 practical &C

indoors can take care of baby or larger
child for the neighbor or friend who needs
TO go on a shopping tour. One can al

Hard thinking wifi discover a great
many more ways in which our friends
can be served-but the thoughtfulness is
the point at which the majority OF Us
stick.
But even zeal OF this admirable brand
may be carried too far. I have kOnwn
cases where the family was neglected
by the mother who became absorbed In
charity labor There have been husbands
who had TO dig the dinner from the ice
box and either eat 1t cold or do the
work Of heating it, something TO be
reckoned with after spending a long day
in their own work. I remember one in
stance of kind-hearted neighbors shelter
ing three children when the mother re-
manned away from home after shutdown,
and the excuse of charity never atoned
for that days neglect in the minds OF
the neighbOrs.
Three years ago there was laid at rest

her strength in the cause OF others. She

There is a great need OF little acts OF
kindness. A bit Of aid at the right mo-
ment is Of more value than a whole
days sacrifice at another time. There
are women who have a sixth sense which
guides them in such matters. who realize
without being told that a friendly hand
would mean much In emergencies. and
they are going through life scattering
seeds Of kindness at every step. But
they are pitifully small IN number and
