Recalls Friends Voice After TWEEN
ty-two Years.

Vancouver, Wash. - The ability Of
Fred Lester. recently stricken blind,
to recognize by his voice a man whom
he had not heard speak for twenty
two years was demonstrated here.
Having lived in the city for so many
years, Mr.. Lester goes about by use Of
a cane. His eyes look normal.
When standing at Fifth and Main
streets he was addressed by G. w.
Holder, who had come to Vancouver
for a short visit after being away
twenty-five years. He asked Mr.. Les
ter If the car went past a certain point,
and when Mr. Lester had answered
the question he added, ''And. Mr..
Holder, l am pleased to greet you"
It was not until then that Mr.. Holder
recognized his friend OF long ago.

is VISITING FAMILY

That a timber and wood famine is
only matter of rs or 80 years unless
the people of Indiana awaken to the
problem of reforestation and conser-
walton of their waste lands, is the opin.
ion Of Prof. c. H. Goetz, a former Rich
State Forestry department, who is
spending the holidays with relatives at
627 South Ninth street
Prof. Goetz is a member of the fac
ulty of the Colorado school of forestry
According to the professor this school
has the finest outdoor forest labora,
tory in the United States 1t has 5000
acres of fine timber land and 13,000
acres In the heart Of Pixies Peak Ma,
tfonal forest.
1T is time that laws be enac ted for
the protection of the remaining forest
areas and waste lands in all the states
Indiana should have state forester to
look after the reforestation of waste
land" said Prof Goetz. There should
be tax exemption laws that would not
tax lands held as forest and would tax
the timber crop only once, at the time
OF harvest.
This would encourage private own.
ers to devote certain amount OF
their land to forests. Under the pres
ent system of taxing land and standing
timber, a compound tax is laid on the
owner Of such lands. This fosters the
deforestation to the highest degree"
"How would the people of Indiana
be pleased If all their land was as bar
rem as some parts of China? Deplora.
BILE as such conditions would be, if
things are allowed to drift as in the
past it will be but few years until
Indiana will have but few scattering
trees. -
Il am not a prophet, but it does not
take one long to see that the time is
coming when Indiana and the entire
East will experience a timber and
wood famine. Nowhere can such fine
hardwood be grown as in this region
on what are now considered waste
lands. These lands should not be al
lowed to lie idle when they can be
made among the best assets of the
state.
"Profiting by the experience of Euro
pean countries we should realize that
we are in large measure responsible
for conditions in years to come, and
take the necessary steps to protect our
forests for the coming generations"

Years Ago.
LIVES AT OLD TAVERN
Draws Sketches of Mrs.
Sarah A. Wrigley, Then
a Baby.
LIVES AT OLD TAVERN

On New Years eve, eighty-three
years ago. the residents of the village
of Richmond were mildly aroused by
the appearance of a very mysterious
stranger in their midst The new
conner was tall and swarthy, and his
speech was so mixed with Spanish
as to render conversation with him
difficult.
1t was supposed that he was a po-
litical refugee from Mexico, but moth
ing ever occurred to warrant the be-
lief. He spent most of his time in a
room he had taken in the village.
and was rarely seen save when he
joined the merry jewellers in the tavern
after shutdown.
He never talked of himself and was
singularly reticent concerning his
past He had considerable skill with
crayon. and often amused himself by
sketching portraits of his comrades.
Draws Baby Picture.
While spending an evening with the
family of John Finley he drew a num-
Der Of pictures of the baby, who is
better known now as Mrs. Sarah A.
Wrigley, of South Fourteenth street.
Mrs. Wrigley preserved these pic
lures and recently sent them to her
daughter in the east, who showed
them to a very talented artist. This
artist pronounced them to be of the
same general type as the Holbein
sketches now on exhibition in the Ma
tional museum, and almost approach
ing them in merit.
The stranger remained in Richmond
over year, spending most of his time
in drinking at the tavern. He always
apparently had plenty of money, a
phenomenon that excited comment
even in those days. His appetite for
liquor finally overcame him and he
froze to death one night in a snow
drift, thus hiding his secret forever.
