FOREST NOTES.

The increase in the demand for
potash has resulted in a number OF
inquiries Of government officials con,
corning the amount of this chemical
contained in wood ashes which may
be available at sawmills operating on
the national forests.
The waste product of sawmills in
the United States including that fed
to the furnaces as fuel is estimated
to be $4,000, 600 cords e year, and
the equivalent of $780, 900, 900 cubic
feet of solid wood substance. About
half of it has no use whatever but is
usually burned to get rid of it.
The chestnut blight has already
done damage estimated at close to
$50, 600, 900. The disease attacks both
American and European species but
does little damage to those from
Japan and China. Plant breeders by
crossing Japanese chestnut and native
chinquapin have produced resistat
trees. Some of the Chinese chestnuts
are said to grow 100 feet high in their
home forests.
The annual losses of livestock on
the nationol forest ranges of the west
due to predatory animals are over
$500 900. An organized campaign is
now going on to exterminate these
animals. Wolves are responsible for
about 70 per cent of the cattle losses,
while bears cause most of the re-
mainder. Approximately rs per cent
of the sheep losses are due to coy

homes on a street car.

At this point the train began to
draw away and Mr. Wilson was still
speaking 81 must say good bye'
was his concluding sentence.
Cheers upon cheers greeted every
paragraph of the speech of the Presi-
dent and the prolonged cheering along
the quarter of mile line made it i'm
possible for most of the people to
hear the address.
People came from all parts of the
city and county to hear the President
and see Mrs. Wilson. They began to
gather at the station two hours before
the hour set for the special train to
arrive. They piled on the tops of box
cars, in coaches and simply lined the
tracks all the way from Park street to
Middle street bridge. Factories clos
ed down, the schools let out the child
rem and there was general outpour-
ing. Automobiles were packed about
the station on all sides. Featured was
one of the armored trucks of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey company which bore
a great banner declaring in favor of
preparedness President Wilson when
his train arrived took special notice
of the Jeffrey display and called his
wife that he might show her the out
put of the Kenosha factory.
The special train followed the reg
ular train due to reach Kenosha at
11:08 and hundreds of police officers
and citizens patrolled the tracks and
kept the great crowds back. There
were no prominent politicians on the
train with the President or if they
were they kept well within the coaches
and the only people to appear on the
platform were the President, his
secretary, Mr., Tumulty, and several
newspaper men.
The train had scarcely come to
stop when the President greeted mem
bers of the special committee. There
was an immediate call for Mrs. Will
son and she graciously left the coach.
The President took her by the hand
and presented her to the people and as
Sne DoWeu mlgHGy SnOuG went up
from the greatest crowd ever packed
in about the station. Mrs. Wilson
was handed a great bouquet of flow
ers she was handed boxes of cakes
and all sorts Of things and she accept
ed all of them most graciously. She
had smile that was contagious and
waving her great bouquet of flowers
she accepted the homage of the people
while the President bowed his pleasure
and smiled his acknowledgement.
Mrs. Wilson went to both sides of the
platform and bowed right and left
as the people cheered. She re-
manned on the platform until the
train left the city.
The President 8 special left for Ra-
cine at 1870 and there the President
was greeted by crowd estimated at
close to ten thousand people. Tt was
not nearly as large crowd as had
greeted Mr.. Wilson in Kenosha.

SIMMONS CHURCH FLOODED.
Broken Pipes or Inadequate Sewerage
Causes Damage at Chicago
Street Church.

Considerable damage was done to the
basement of the Henry M. Simmons
Unitarian church on Chicago street on
Saturday afternoon and evening when
either a broken water pipe leading to
the organ or plugged up sewer caused
the basement of the building to be
flooded with more than foot and a
half Of water. The plumbers and fit
terS who made the investigation failed
to find any broken pipe and it is
thought that the flood resulted from a
plugged up sewer which made it i'm
possible for the water from the roof of
the building to get into the sewer and
it was poured into the basement through
the windows. The officials of the
church claim that the damage is mostly
to the base boards and the chairs and
they are hopeful that it will not amount
to more than a hundred dollars.
