BELIEVES FIREMEN
 UNJUSTLY TREATED
Statistieian Compares Wage Increases
 and Railroad Revenue lnerease.

New York. March 14.-Railroad fire men have not received their proper share in revenue gains of the eastern railroads during the past ten years. according to the statement of W. !. Lauck of Washington, 8 stattstician formerly employed by the United States tariff board. testifytng today for the hremen before the arbitration board in the dispute over the mems demands for increased pay and better working conditions.
 MT. Lauck declared.
 "On the basis of a revenue train mile, the cost of firemen has advanced only 22 hundredths of one per cent. during the past fiscal year. while there was 6 gain of transportation revenue of ten cents or expressed in other terms for each additional 1000 paid f1remen there was approximately an increased revenue yield of e<6.000 per revenue train mile. During tho past II years the outlay for locomotive f1remen per revenue train mile has increased only 1.75 cents as compared with gain of 55 cents in trans peita- ton revenue. The transportation rev. enue gain since the year 1907 on these railroads has been approximately 28 times the rise in cost of fFemen per revenue train n7iis.'

Glasgow's Highland Forest.

Glasgow, whose bold experiments in municipal effoN have earned 1t front place for civic enterprise, Is about to embark on an important schame of amorestation which is expected to have great edueative value. The city owns a Highland estate, named Ard goil, situated at the head of Lochgoil on the Firth of Clyde. It was given to the city some years ago by one of it's representatives ID parliament. Cameron Corbett, now Lord Rawollan The estate includes several mountains providing beautiful Highland scenery but up to the present the gift has been somewhat of a white elephant The land is not very accessible and but sparSely populated, though 1t Is less than two hours sail from Glasgow. The corporation for some time has had under consideration a scheme Of afforestation prepared by MT. Whitton. the superintendent of the city parks The corporation has now approved MT. Whitton's detailed working plan and authorized him to begin operations fer the planting of one of the areas spe- cifed, extending to about geo acres.
 In his report submitting the scheme MT. Whitton says that the problem is too complex to admit of any rigidIy fixed plan being successfully carried out The character of the ground. the provision of shelter for stock. the ne eessity for retaining the best parts for grazing purposes, and the rights conferred upon the inhabitants of Glasgow under the deed of gift of the estate by Lord Rowallan, are features in the case which sing1y or combined have a very direct bearing on the question. Accordingly, he says. the scheme set forth In the report must not be looked on as a complete and perfect one. but rather as a serious attempt towards the solution of a diff hcult problem.
 As fAe primary idea of this afror- estatfOn scheme Is an economic one the wisest course Is to plant only such species of trees as are known to thrive in the district, mature quickly, and recommended are: For the wettsst parts. the common or Norway spruco, followed by the silver and Do,sr4As frs the 1a1'ch, the Scots fir, and the Menzfes CT Sftka spruce, in the order given as to moisture and altitude. rnts proposal must, of course. be modified as circumstances demand
