Private Ownership Large.
Upwards of i00,OOO,000 acres of
forest land in this country are in pri,
vate ownership, but per cent of it
is being treated scientifically and
with view to the maintenance Of
the forests. The pagt played by the
forests in the equalization Of the sup.

ter Of discussion and dispute but the
general benefit to be derived by the
public from the extension of forest
lands on watersheds and the promo
ton of the growth of trees in places
that are now denuded and that once
had great flourishing forests, goes
without saying. The control to be
exercised over private owners in their
treatment of the forests which they
own is matter for state and not nas
tion regulation. because there is moth
ing in the constitution that authorizes
the federal government to exercise
any control over forests within a
state, unless forests are owned in a
way by the federal gov

AS these improvements are being

portance, the improvement of the
Mississippi beyond Cairo down to the
gulf which is now going on with the
maintenance of depth of feet
everywhere, may be changed to an

Eurcoean Example.
| am informed that the investiga-
ton by the waterways commission in
Europe shows that the existence of Il
waterway by no means assures traffic
unless there is traffic adapted to
water carriage at cheap rates at one
end or the other of the stream. It
also appears in Europe that the depth
of the non-tidal streams is rarely
more than 6 feet, and never more
than 10. But it Is certain that
enormous quantities Of merchandise
are transported over the rivers and
canals in Germany aud France and
England. and it is also certain that
the existence Of such methods of traf
lic materially affects the rates which
the railroads charge. and it is tire
best regulator of those rates that we
have, not even excepting the govern.

PLANS FOR NORMAL'S
 NEW DORMITORY

The statement in a Little Rock morning paper that a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the State Nor maj will be held within the next 10 days for the purpose of advertising for bids for the contract to erect the new Normal dormitory, is probably a mistake, according to President J. J. Doyne. No plans have as yet been drawn for the building, President Doyne states, but he says it is very likely that the board will, within a short time, order plans drawn for the dormitory, but that the contract will not be let until much later.
 The act providing for the Normal dormitory building stipulates that the contract shall not be let prior to July 1, but it is thought that the board will have the plans drawn and probably secure bids on the construction of the building before that time, so that the successful contractor could be ready to start the work as soon as the con- tract is made. Unless the first steps were taken before July l, it would doubtless not be possible to complete the dormitory in time for use at the next session of the Normal. The leg is lature appropriated $37, 300 for the dormitory, but S1O,OOO of this amount was deducted by Governor Donaghey when he reduced the legislative appro- priations at the close of the session.

WEATHER
 WILL BE WARMER

Little Rock, Feb. 24.-The present cold and disagreeable weather will last but a short time, according to Weather Observer Alciatore, though he will not promise that spring wealth
 CT will follow with the change of the weather. Mr. Alciatore says he can tell the weather will begin to grow warner today, and expects it to lest a few days, but would advise no one to begin concrete work or anything which will be affected by sudden changes of the weather. District Ob- server Alciatore says the weather ob- server at this season of the year thinks he is in luck if he can predict what will happen in the next 24 hours. on account of the many sudden changes which are produced through dist tLrbances from the Gulf. He says the observer always hits it unless the storm is started on the gulf at night
 which is between the time maps are made by the observers, maps being made out once day, in the forenoon.
