~ Wilson In the Forest.
~ There is the venerable secretary of
'agIicultufe. for instance, who is away
Ito the mighty domain of the national
forests over which he holds sway as the
|hgh mogul. For several years he has
made his pilgrirage during July and
August TO the mighty west for the study
of matters pertaining to forestry When
asked where his summer home Is To-
sated he is rrone 10 point to n map on
khfs office wall IL is of the United

arc put down In green. All that region
west of the great plains IS notified over
with THIS verdant color This is the
summer home of Secretary Wilson He
Travels about through Montana and
ttrl6raipg and Washington and Oregon
4 tiTesgocs south through California and
k...riroro and t,cw Mexico. He talks with
fltSe people Of ,nese states and with the
locIls representatives of the forest serv

, of administration that exist in different
sections that tile action from Washing

Dickinson Sails for Orient.
Mr.. Wilson'S little loop Of a nation
will. however. sink into the role of a
mere lunket compared with the trip that
us tai ken by Mr.. Dickinson, the secretary
\ Of war. This latetr official sailed from
sSan Francisco on June %, westward
ifor the far east, contradictory as that
statement may seem, On July 4. he was
in Honolulu and Joined the American
residents and the kindly native-born Of
chat isle OF dreams in celebrating the
natal anniversary. There he inspected
d.. Il 1. L.
.eonverting into Gibraltar Of the Pa
'cific. took stock of what is being done
and what may be done. From here this
tRtQ.led him tntflowery Japan, where he
has passed the last few days and Just at
present, if his schedule is holding true,
he is on the way to the Philippines. He
will remain on the islands for FIVE
weeks. His inspection of the manner
in which the civilization OF the United
States is being grated onto the 5000,
600 Malay children of the past, is the
most important phase of has trip. He
will take stock of the success that this
nation is making IN its attempts to
bring peace and prosperity to a Jumbled
mass of sixty tribes with as many Ian
guages. how it is succeeding in giving
them a cohmon language, common in
>terest. H. will take note of the amount
of succl That is being attained in the
greatest experiment in national philan-
thropy that the world has ever under
taken-in the first attempt on the part
of a great nation to govern a less civil
lied colony for the good of the colony
rather than for the profit of the grow
ing country.
While in Manila Mr.. Dickinson will
be entertained at Malacanan palace, one
Of the most interesting places in the
Islands. He will talk with all his sub
ordinates and travel to all the provinces
