Cornelia Cache, a young Italian girl,
about sixteen years of age, was placed
in the city Jail this morning shortly
after ! o'clock for safe-keeping. She
was carried there at the instance Of
her mother, who claims that she was
trying to elope with young man.
She was taken to the city prison be-
tween IL and 1 o'clock by Officer Frank
Benjamin. who is her uncle, and upon
reaching the bastile she agreed to go
home If released, and was, accordingly,
allowed to go. After starting home
1t il claimed. she refused to 90 to her
home as she had agreed to do.
When she was carried back to the
jail, she said she wanted to go to her
mama, and seemed to be frightened at
the sight Of her surroundings. but she
was assured by the officers in charge
that she would be treated kindly and
she seemed to become reconciled.
The young lady Is very pretty girl.
She said she had been in this city
about four months, having come di-
rectly from the old country here. She
can speak very little English.
AS stated, she was placed in the jail

supplies of various softwoods In these
forests for which there now exists lit
tie demand, and this fact constitutes
one Of the serious problems of man

order to have forests produce timber
steadily they must be cut: but if there
is a market only for timber from the
most valuable kinds of trees the re-
suit of cutting is likely to be the dis
appearance of these trees and their
replacement in the forest growth by
species which are not in demand. Since
the pulp mills take material too small
for paper making can be cut to a low
timber diameter. and thus the balance
may be turned in favor of the repro
duction of the more valuable kind of
trees.
In addition to the benefit which the
public will derive from the advance
