The Work of the Forest Service

From time to time questions
arise: What is the Superior
Forest?" What is it's object?'
What is Forest Ranger, and
what does he do?" Can a man
take up land in the National
Forest? many other ques-
tions of similar nature. From
these questions it would seem that
a few words of explanation would
be appreciated by the public at
large.
The Superior National Forest
was created February 10, 1909.
It's area is 900, 734 acres (including
alterations inside it's boundary. }
Patented lands comprise 227, 16S
acres, Timber & Stone entries,
10,472 acres, and Homestead En-
tries, 4,731.
1t has for its object, frst-The

merchantable timber in such a
manner as to give an early second
crop. Third-To stock by arti-

productive. This is to be done by
planting. Practically all the high
ground in Northern Minnesota was
once clothed with White Norway
Pine, and with proper handling
and protection can be made so
again. In the systems of cutting
up to the present time, little
thought has been given to future
stands. Every stick of timber
which can be. handled proftably

instances does reproduction follow,

Neutrality-suspicious. protection.
Most of the merchantable timber
on the Superior is over mature, in
which case it is for sale. There is
nothing to be gained by holding on
to timber which is on the decline.
The idea that some have, that the
object of the Forest Service is
merely to reserve the timber and
keep it from being cut is wholly
wrong. We merely want to be
consistent in cutting it.
The first most important work
on the Superior is the keeping out
of forest fires, since this is funda-
mental if anything is to be ac-
complished. Those who have
travelled through the brush can
realize what it means to try and
successfully cover an area the size
of the Superior. At the present
time the waterways furnish prac-
tically the only method of travel in

priations allow. trails together with
telephone lines, will be built
through the more inaccessible
districts. July 1 work will begin
on a trail and telephone line from
Ely to Harding, MINI. The St.
Croix will be used as far as Everett
Lake from which point it will be
necessary to cut out clear to De-
Caigney's Lake Portage. When
this is completed, man patrolling

THOMASON GIVES UP.
Outfielder Returns to Fold After a
Brief Strike.

Arthur Thomson, who quit the ball
club Tuesday morning following the
Sioux City series, demanding higher
wages. will play his regular position
in centerfie1d today.
Both he and the management say
his salary remains the same as before
and no penalty has been announced.
Manager Moore considers the strike
of Tommy merely an incident :.
Tommy is all right; he's just young,
is all Fred would say.
Catcher Joe Crisp visited with
President Woodward and Manager
Moore all morning but arrived at no
new conclusion. Crisp's trouble seems

says Hedges is trying to give him
back to Kansas City this evening.
Rumors today that several players
were on the verge of quitting fizzled
out when investigated.

MEAT RETAILERS TO ORGANIZE
They Will Form State Association OF
Their Own.

An effort will be made tonight by
nearly 100 meat merchants attending
the merchants week festivities, to or
ganize a state meat retailers assocla-
tion. The meeting will be held IN
the parlors of the Throop hotel at
o'clock.
The plan for state organization
was fostered by S. c. Hill, OF Blue
Rapids, who is in town attending the
annual show of the Kansas merchants.
He believes that the Kansas meat
choppers have as much authority TO
organize for mutual pleasure ana
benefit as have the lawyers, under
takers and preachers. Not only that
but Hill urges that state ASSOCIATION
would promote peace, harmony ana
good fellowship among the sausage,
ham and pork chop vendors
1--WE need a state association, sara
Hill today, mot only for mutual
good, but to promote good fellowship
and develop a get-acquainted spirit l
think 1T would be great thing ana
many of the other dealers here this
week are of the same opinion. With
state organization we can get to-
gether and discuss our joys and sor-
rows and go home with better ideas
of how to run the business"
Hill has urged all of the Topeka and
visiting meat dealers to attend to-
nights gathering.

Dentists Tender Banquet and Give
Him Present.

One hundred and sixteen members
of the Kansas State Dental association
were present Tuesday night at a ban
quet given in honor of DIR. Alton How
ard Thompson who has done a great
service to the dental profession by
means of exhaustive scientific research
and who is beloved by the entire mem
bership of the association, and in fact
the profession in general in this coun-
try.
AS a token of their respect for DR..
Thompson check for $1,000 was
turned over to him with the stipulation
that he is to use the money in any
way he may see fit, and as DR.. ]. P.
Post was making the presentation
speech, the room at the CONNIE rcial
club where the banquet was held was
darkened and picture of the guest of
honor was projected upon a screen in
the doorway. A prolonged clapping
of hands ensued.
kilograms were read frc m a number
of prominent dentists over the country
who expressed regret over not being
able to attend the banquet and a num-
Der of letters or appreciation of the
work OF DR.. Thompson were read.
ITO me no loftier spirit has ever
graced the dental profession" read a
letter from A. 1. Pearson, buSin esS
manager of The Dental Cosmos, pub
lished in Philadelphia.

sits and walks beside him prompting
his every glance and deed" In honor
ing such a man his friends honor

DIR. S. ]. REM, president of the state
association spoke of DR.. Thompson as
being one of the bricks in building
up the organization, and by the way,
DR. Thompson was president of the or
ganization in 176 and 1882. "Dr.

HOME FOR AGED NEGROES
Senator Curtis Proposes to Have Uncle
Sam Found One.

Washington, D. c., June S.-Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas has made
preparation to take up the fight of
the colored citizens of the country
for the erection in the District of
Columbia of a home for aged and in
firm persons of that race.
A sum of 100000 for that purpose,
1t is proposed, will be expended from
moneys in the treasury which is due
the estate of colored soldiers and sail
ors of the Civil war.
In a bill which Senator Curtis will
introduce at the next session of con-
gress, it is provided that there shall
be erected national memorial home
for the aged and infirm colored peo-
pie and for working girls Under the
terms of the bill an industrial farm
is to be established in Virginia. and
the proceeds devoted to the mainten-
ance of the home. An association is
to be formed which shall acquire the
tional memorial home, and be duly
incorporated under the laws of the
District of Columbia.
Preliminary to the transfer of the
Civil war moneys of the colored SOL
diers to the association authorized to
establish the home and farm. the
bill orders that the attorney general
| duly investigate and report to the
secretary of war that such associa-
ton is duly incorporated for the re-
lief of the colored people.
Plans and specifications must be
transmitted to the secretary of war.
Funds for the work are to be taken
| from the treasury only on vouchers
! drawn by the association and duly
| approved by the secretary of war.
| The fund from which 1t is proposed
to build the home for the aged and
| infirm colored people is made up of
| bounties, prizes. pay and other mon
eys which were due colored soldiers
who served in the war. 1t has been
| found impossible to obtain proper
proof concerning the heirs Of these
| soldiers, and the result has been
| that the money has long lain in the
| treasury.
| Senator Curtis believes that it is
| only proper and fitting that the COL
ored people of the country be given
| the benefit of this fund. A home
! for the members of their race is
recommended by the colored people
! themselves as most satisfactory way
! to put the money to use.
Because of the existence of what is
known as scabies. contagious cattle

I has ordered a quarantine placed on

Chicago, June S.-WHEAT-Wheat slid
off in price today, owing to a belief that
the government crop report this after

Predictions of heavy world shipments

generally favorable and there were no
signs of any improvement in the cash de-
mand. Opening figures showed 1sc to 12c
decline. July started at 91%c to 917c, a
loss of &c to 15c, and fell to 91ssq12c.
Ideal harvesting conditions in Kansas
caused the price level later to be still
further depressed, but Nebraska reports
of excessive heat led to a rally. The close
was steady, with July at sl%Ga3c, net
loss of AQ7sc.
CORN-Corn weakened because of the
excellent crop outlook, but trade was linn
tied. July opened NC to Nc down, at 5414c
to 5411c and kept within that range.
The fact that shipping call was limited
led to an increase of selling pressure, but
the market subsequently recovered some
