FOR BURNT Trees
Damages For f'orohanfab|e
Young Growth Is Precedent.
GOVERNMENT IS LEGAL. VICTOR

Establishes "sxpectaton Value" Of
Timber In South Dakota Case For
First Time In America, Though Prac-
tice Is Common In European Forestry
and Insurance.
In an action for fire trcspasS on the
Black Hills national forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River and Northwestern railroad the
Jury has awarded damages to the gov
ernmcnt not only for the loss of mer-
charitable timber. but also for the de-
struction OF unmcrchantabe young
growth.
This is regarded as establishing an
important precedent. SO far as is
known at the department of agricul-
ture, it is the first lime thatany court
has recognized what forestcrS call the
"cxpectation value of young growth
as furnishing basis for the award Of
damages.
Hard to Prove Less.
The difficulty in the way or such an
award in the past has been that there
was no way to prove to the satisfac-
ton of the courts the money value Of
the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence
as to the cost Of work in reforesting.
which the government is actually do
ing in the Black hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth burned
was So an acre. and the claim under
this item was allowed in full by the
Jury. The total amount Of damages
claimed was $3,T2SS5. of which S.
G34. 10 was for understandable timber
destroyed or injured by the fire.
1t is recognized by forestcrs that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
always furnish a fair basis for csti-
mating the damage to forest reproduce
ton. Where new growth can be eX-
pected by natural sowing from seed
trees on the ground within a short
time artificial planting or sowing is an
unnecessarily expensive method. To
meet such cases what are known as
'yield tables" are being prepared. BY
the use of these the loss can be shown
in terms Of the final crop and the time
necessary to produce it.
Easy to Calculate.
Thus if it is known that 10000 feet
Of timber per aero can be cut once in
seventy years it is easy TO calculate
the value of the crop when it is ten
years old by discounting from its
value when mature.
In European countries where fores-
try has been long practiced this meth
cd is regularly applied in selling. con-
demning or estimating damages on for
est property It is also used abroad in
insurance. which would he impractical
BILE if there were not both an accepted
basis for determining the loss suffered
and IA reasonably accurate knowledge
of the hazard involved.

The Class Day exercises on the
Normal campus this morning were
a distinctive part of the Commence
ment activities. The dances, which
were performed under the direction
of Miss Campbell, were most beau
tiful and graceful. Among the folk
dances by the four classes the Jun
ior Cornish May Dance was the
most intricate and floral; but the
Senior May Pole was no less charm
ing in appearance. The exercises
consisted of dances, songs and adj
dresses, and ended in the ascension
of balloon which carried away all
the class troubles. The balloon,
however, refused to rise above the
trees, but returned to the ground
and burned the troubles on the spot.
The class history was given by
Miss Mary Hodgins, the class poem
by Miss Eva Peterson, the class
will by Miss Margaret Spencer and
the class prophecy by Leverett Far
ley.

A Desperate Performance.

G. C. Richards, performer in the
Christmas carnival at Wilkesbarre,
Pa, narrowly escaped with his life
after terrible struggle. Richards
act was to hang by his teeth to
pulley which carried him across the
'Susquehanna river on wire During
lone of the performances the pulley
stuck in the middle.
J The zero weather and heavy float;
ing ice made it impossible for res
lcuers to reach him, and his hands
;froze to the wire when he finally suc-
'ceeded in reaching it. Never losing
his nerve, and in sight of the horror
stricken crowd Of spectators, the reso.
Lutte man worked his way along the
wire, hand over hand, until he got to,
q point where the ice was thick and
;unbroken beneath him. Here he
dropped from sheer exhaustion. He
was badly bruised but may recover.

Tricks Of the Diplomatic Trade.


According to Mr.. Griffith Boscawen.
Bismarck drank eight lemon squashes
in the course Of one speech. The
Iron Chancellor's naturally fine pow
ers of suction were, however, devel-
oped by his diplomatic training. On
one occasion he boasted that in his
youth he drank bottle Of champagne
at one draught from puzzle goblet
so constructed that one could not
bring it close to ones lips, yet one
was not allowed to spill drop. Not a
single drop fell on my waistcoat
but said: Give me another :.
Every one was Intensely surprised
Such tricks were. formerly an indis-
pensable part of the diplomats trade.
They drank the weaker vessels under
the table wormed all they wanted to
know out Of them, and made them
agree to things contrary to their in
,structions. When they got
sober they could not imagine why they
had acted so."
