Minnesota's
State Forests.

A new conception Is gradually form
ing in the minds Of the people. All
the evidence has been in their posses.
sion for many years, but they have
never really grasped the meaning of
1t. They have~read and heard, in in
Vulnerable places, that the timber
supply OF the country would some day
give out; and there are few men, of
middle age or beyond, who have not
actually seen the forest melt away in
some locality with which they were
familiar. But the abundance Of lum-
Der in the lumber yards kept them
from drawing, any general conclusions
in regard to the country as whole:
kept them from the very logical con.
clusion that, IL such thing was TAX
ing place within their own experience,
it was probably taking place else.

There is nothing that should i'm
press US with the conception of this
crisis more strongly than the estab.

the supply of such forests is getting
more scanty every day, is the why"

years ago the whole northern half OF

any talk of a park at Itasca then?
No, because there was any. amount OF
better timber, where it could more
easily be taken out, and the headwa.

twenty years later, it: was thought
necessary to reserve to the state the

Shanghai Cabinet Organized

Shanghai, November 6.-The most in- teresting development in Shanghai today was the completion of the organization of local cabinet by the revolutionaries. Wu Ting Eng, who formerly held the post of minister at Washington, has been appoint ed head of tine ministry of foreign af- fairs; Wang Yin Ting, trade and com nie-ce; Shin Wuan Yung, finances; Li- Ping Hsu Covet, administrator and Lee Hsieh. military administrator.
 The appointments. however are not taken seriously. the appointees denying connection with factions of the revolution aries,. except in the case of the civil ac- ministrator who has been acting in that capacity. Wu Ting Fang, while de- cining to acknowledge any present con nection with the revolutionary administra- ton, openly sympatllizes with it. although ciiticising some of the methods. He is bitterly opposed to the Manchu clique in Picking.
 Dr. Wu says that if the revolution hopes to win 1t must scrupulously regard the rights of foreign nations and individuals. This. as time progresses. will be found difficult because of the views held in diff ferent provinces.

 The services for the women of Fountain Heights were held In the Calvary Baptist church with the Rev. J. A. Bryant of- ficiating large attendance was pres ent at both meetings.
 The revival services for today will be as usual in the morning and in the even- ing a solo will be sung by Mrs. X. C. kinzer. Tomorrow morning, special ser vices will be held for the "shut-ins," eld- erly people and mothers of the Fountain Heights community. A committee has been appointed to provide conveyances that all persons who cannot walk, may be brought to the church. MT. Wadsworth, said in part. last evening:
 ''rhe man of whom am going to speak about to you tonight was successful farmer. He had barns that were )ver- crowded with grain and he called in an architect to assist him in planning for titS CiSStioi ol IiOIc duu ldTStT StOTdKc houses. He said to himself: I have much good laid up for many days. I will eat and drink to my fill
 we are not told that this business man hated, his fellowmen, oppressed the wid- ow nor debauched himself with strong drink. He followed an honorable occu- patton but when God saw that his life was centered in the sordid material things of riches, He sent death to knock on the mans door and he was unprepared for his coming. God wrote on his tomb- stone, Thou Fool"
 In closing Mir. Wadsworth made a strong appeal to the men present to re- gard the question of their eternal destiny al the present moment and so order their lives that the solution of this question will be heaven

Ben. M Jacobs, chairman of the Mason ic Widows and Orphans Home commit tee, returned from Montgomery last night, where he has been inspecting the progress of the home which is now in course of construction at that point.

 It was during Mir Jac0bs' term of of- flee as grand master that definite action was taken to build the home, and since that time he has labored early and late to attain the splendid result.
 The ceremony of laying the cornerstone will be performed by the present grand master, Lawrence H. Lee.

 GOVERNOR'S REGENT ACTION

Dr. S. J. vann, the convict physi- elan at Flat Top mines who was re- moved from office last Saturday by Governor O'Neal last night issued the Following signed statement:
 An editorial in an afternoon paper of this date has just ueen shown me in which the following statement is made:
 "It is to be expected that the re- moved officials will be quite sore and bitter; that is altogether human and natural. It is rumored that one of them, pr. Vann, may go into the courts over the matter, and that MT. Bow man may make a severe public arr raignment of the governor.
 T desire to say that the rumor if there Is any, that I will go into the courts is without foundation and un- authorized by me.
 My dismissal at the hands of the governor, I must confess. came as quite @ surprise. However. until I have had an opportunity to present the matter to the governor in it's true light I will have nothing further to say.

 "I said to him. Don't beat me this way. If I'm breaking the law, call an officer and arrest me if I'm doing any thing wrong"
 When I reached Central Park I was so weak that I fell. Four men were beating me-"
 What were you doing there?" asked Justice Seller.
