agricultural lands will not be consfd- cred Owners may reserve the right to remove valuable mineral deposits which are known to exist.
 Proposals will be received for small as we'll as for large tracts, although small tracts can be examined only where the purchase of a considerable total of land in the same neighbor- hood is under consideration. With regard to the price which can be paid, Secretary Wilson indicates that the policy of the Commission will be to make the money available go as far as possible. For the most part" he says, Eve shall have to buy cut-over land or lands without much mer- chantable timber I want to make it plain at the start that I shall rec ommend this class of land only when it is offered very cheap. Proffers of land at exorbitant prices will not be considered. I am frank to say that hope to see a great deal of public spirit manifested by land owners. I expect some lands to be offered at merely nominal prices in order to aid the Government in getting well start ed upon this wise and necessary policy.
 "The lands acquired by the Gov ernment will be held as National For ests. They will be protected from fire and the growth of the timber will be improved as much as possible. The lands will not be game preserves, but will continue to be open to the public for shunting and fishing in accordance with the laws of the State in which they are situated. All their resources will be available for the public under reasonable conditions. Another point which I wish to emphasize is that we are not going to take from people their homes in order to put the lands into National Forests

The proof shows that in the city of New York the majority Of customers come from the East Side, and is largely composed of igno- rant foreigners, many of them unable to speak our language. That such customers may be induced to pur- chase the defendants gum for the complainant's is more than probable" Gum -chewers may we'll revolt and cry out as with one voice.

WILL REPORT ON

at Next Session.
CANALS EFFECT ON CLIMATE

Plain in the Report Upon Which
Government Engineers
Are Working.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Even II thu
people Of Illinois are not to secure for
many years to come the deeper water.
way between Lake Michigan and the
Gulf OF Mexico, that has been their
dream for quarter of a century, they
will soon learn officially just how their
climate would be affected by the con-
struction Of the canal system.
AS the legislature of Illinois has
failed to authorize the issue of $780,
100000 Of bonds to defray the cost of
canal work congress has required OF
the state, the governor has lacked au-
thority TO appoint a state engineer to
cooperate with the United States ar
my engineers.
That fact will be reported to con-
gress in December by the chief of en-
gineers in explanation of the failure
to record any progress in the actual
construction of the waterway.
The engineers. however, have stud
led the probable effect of the proposed
waterway upon the. climate of Illinois,
Michigan and other states bordering,
the great lakes.
They will be prepared to submit
this data at the next session and it is
expected to throw much light on the
question as to whether the great in
flow Of icy water from Lake Superior
likely to be caused by the flow into
the canal from the lower end of Lake
Michigan would lower the temperature
of the latter lake to point where
grapes and other agricultural products
nearby would be injuriously effected,
and whether the shipping interests
would have to suspend navigation much
earlier than now through the freezing
of the lake.
