= QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
KImbalrs Attorneys Question the Right
Of Local jury to Sit on Township
Territory.

The arguments in the condemnation
proceedings against the Kimball lands
were begun in Judge McDonough' :
court last Monday and, after listening
10 round from the city attorney and
the Kimball representative. Judge
McDonough adjourned tho case until
March 90. This action was taken for
two reasons. First. service had not
been obtained on all the parties to the
suit and. secondly, Mr. McDonough
wished 10 get as well informed as pos
sible on the point in dispute.
The bone OF contention Is the
makeup Of the jury. Attorney Alb
bott wishes a jury composed Of resi-
dents of the city; Mr. Tracy. who is
associated with Mr.. Power in this
case. is endeavoring TO get a jnry
made up Of residents Of the county
Thcre Is an appeal possible from the
decision of tine probate court to the
circuit court and from the circuit TO
the higher court IL is absolutely GER
tain that the case will be appealed to
the circuit and it is quite probable
that il will go higher For that rea-
son it might seem at hrst glance
that the contest over the probate pro-
ceeding is useless but il is far from
being so A verdict by jury in the
probate conrt will give the attorney
winning It greater prestige in the cir
cult conrt MIR. Abbott can see that a
jury acquainted with property values
in this vicinity will be better Judge
of the worth OF Mr.. Kimball's land
than outsiders who have TO rely upon
biased testimony For that reason he
wants local jury TO get at the case
first. For the same reason Mr. Kim
balls attorneys wish TO get jury un-
acquainted with the facts and the
valuations hereabouts

similar TO the present, was brought to

Effect.
The Iron Age says that some publish

LESSONS IN FORESTRY.

The world is fast learning the value
OF Its forests and is taking steps to
protect or reclaim them. Wanton
waste during centuries of ignorance
has brought many once fertile regions
to the verge of a desolation like that
OF the Sahara, but repentance and re-
forestation have in every instance
been followed by immediate rewards.
Take the case Of the Karst, a stretch
OF barren limestone land along the
Austrian shores of the Adriatic. The
naVles Of Venice were built of timber
from the Karst, and most of eastern
Italy drew its supplies of wood from
the same supposedly ineXhaustible
source. The result was Objectionable
karst was turned into seemingly IT.
fedeemable waste. At last Austrian
foresterS turned their attention to the
100000 barren acres; taxes were re-
mltted and money was RENTED to
tree planters; technical advice aid en-
enlargement was supplied. This work
began in 1865. To-day over two-thirds
Of the Karst, or 100000 acres, has been
reclaimed. Germany, france, Den
mar4i, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium
and Loland have given special atten-
ton 10 their forests recently, Germany
being the pioneer and leader in the
work. But France has lately done so
much in legislation and active assist
ance that special attention should be
given to her efforts.
