FOREST SERVICE NOTES.

The first act Of congress relating to
forestry was an appropriation of
100000, passed in 1893, for the pur-
pose Of acquiring timber for naval
construction. Under this appropria-
tion the government established re.
serves containing live oak as the best
timber for shipbuilding.
The turpentine industry of south.
ern France is a man-made industry.
Out of shifting, barren sand dunes
and a malaria, poverty-stricken re-
gion the French government through
reclamation and planting of maritime
pine, has made one or the most pros
porous and salubrious sections OF
France. A century ago the barren
sand dunes of southern France could
be bought at any price. Today this
barren land within the reclaimed area
is worth at the lowest $3.50 per acre.
while the best brings as high as S24
per acre.
The amount of standing hardwood
timber in this country has been vari-
ously estimated at from 400 to 500
billion feet About $40 billion Of
this is in the southern states.

LONDON, Aug. s.-rhe Duchess
Of Marlborough, in addition TO her
many other activities, has gone into
politics. As one of the leaders of the
Women's Municipal Party. an organ.
lzation formed TO fight for reforms af-
fecting women and children she has
started a movement TO obtain for wo-
men a share in the municipal govern
ment.
Few will maintain that women's
position in England is the same in
1916 as it was in 1913" she SAYS.
The war which has awakened rev.
erence for the heroism of men. has
also taught us respect for the eff.
cheney of women.
Great, however, as is the demand
for woman's work, there is still one
place where she is not wanted and
that is in local government.
THE Womens Municipal Party
aims at uniting women citizens into
an Independent party-wth a pro-
gram and a policy broad enough to
include those OF every political group
who desire to secure definite reforms
affecting women and children. Local
government has not yet made a very
definite appeal to women; technicali-
ties have too long obscured essentials.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

One of the planks in the Republic
can state platform which means much
to northern Wisconsin is the one|
which declares that the state should
aid the undeveloped sections of the
state. The great north country is the
future dairy section of the state. It Isl
the pioneer section, and it's farmers
the hardships encountered by thoses
who made the southern part of the,
state one of the greatest farming reI
gions IN the United States. Whatever
the state can do for the north country
will be a good investment for all thei
state.
One of the best departments in the
state capitol is the conservation com-l
mission, created by the last legislature,
and combining all the state activities;
for the protection and propagation of,
fish and game and the conservation,
of natural resources. The law was the
result OF the best efforts of all the Re;
publicans in the 1915 legislature and it
has resulted in improved service at a
much REDUCED cost.
Mr.. Williams, Democratic candidate
for governor, says the railroad COM
mission has been turned over to the
corporations. In the only cases decided
in the last two years, rates have been
reduced, and in no case>has a rate been
raised Mr.. Williams should study the
records before making his speeches.
1t is significant to the voters that
the good laws on the statute books all
were enacted under Republican state
administrations.

Governor Emanuel l.. Philip, Re-
publican candidate for reelection, has,
during his term of office, worked dill
gently for increased efficiency and
economy in the affairs of state gov
ernment. In making appointments for
public positions he has been guided
entirely by the qualifications of the
nen, for he firmly believes that eff
cheney is as important in public serv-
Ice as in private business.
Governor Philip has favored lib
eral provision for the health and edu-
cation of the people of Wisconsin, and
It has been his aim to advance what
ever promotes prosperity and happi-
ness.
Having spent his boyhood on farm
in Sank county, where he was born in
1861, and his later years in hustling

well acquainted with the problems of

TRAIN CRASHES
into CABOOSE.
Ten Die and Eleven Others Are
Seriously Injured,
NEBRASKA men ARE VICTIMS
Third Section of Stock Train PIoWs
Through Caboose of Second Sec
ton With Fearful Results.

Elwood. Neb., Oct. 17.-Ten men
were killed and eleven others were in
jured seriously when a train on the
Burlington railroad crashed into the
freight caboose in which they were
riding, twelve miles east of here.
Five other men standing on the rear
platform Of the caboose saw the ap-
preaching train soon enough to jump
to safety. One other man in the ca
boose cupola was thrown clear of the
wreck and escaped injury.
The trains in collision were sections
of regular stock train. Lack of
lights and warning signals is given by
survivors as the cause of the acct
dent, All the victims were residents
of Nebraska towns Most of them
were farmers or stockmen.
The trains in collision were the Sec
ond and third sections of No. 156. The
second section had trouble with hot
boxes and had stopped at point
about half way between Smithfield and
Bertrand
The crews of the second section was
at work on the hot boxes when the
third section crashed into the second
section caboose. No one was aware
of the danger until the third section
was within few yards of the rear
end of the second
The twenty-one men in the caboose
were damned into space of less than
four feet in width and this was filled
with wreckage.
