WOOD DISAPPEARING

There is an old bit Of dosserel about the man who
couldn't see the crowd beca nse there were 80 many peo-
pie. Tho same individual. had he visited northern Min
nesota a few years ago, might have been unable to zee
the forest because there were so many trees. From
the edge Of the Red River valley to the jumping OIL
place just this side Of the lakes there was Just one vast
expanse Of timber. and scarcely anything else visible.
Yet the other day when the county commissioners of
Beltrami county were to open bids for the years supply
Of wood for the court house there were no bids to open.
Nobody had any wood to sell. &z 49,.
OF course there is still wood around ~Bemidjt-quite
q lot Of 1t. The lack Of bids Is probably due moro to a
shortage Of labor than to a shortage Of wood. But wood
over there is scarce, ana growing scarcer. The lum-
bermen and the forest fires have done their share Of the
work, and the small farmer is rapidly turning forests
into cultivated fields. All through that section. except
at considerable distances from the railroad, coal has for
some time been used for fuel in preference to wood, and
the day L. evidently not far distant when the burning
OF wood for fuel win be a. rare in what was once the
great forest section Of Minnesota Is it Is in New York

THE CARS ISOLATION

There has Just been published in one of the maya.
zines an exceedingly interesting story of the last days of
the Russian autocracy from the pen of the Princess Can
azune. The princess is an American woman, grand
daughter Of General Grant, whose husband. a young
kussan robleman, was for some time aide to Grand Duke
Nicholas. cousin Of the car, and in the early stages Of
the war commapder-in-chief of the Russian armies. The
story which the princess tells sheds light on the condi-
tons prevailing in the Russian government just perore
the revolution, and in its description of court intrigue,
Of plot and counter-plot, the Vaccinations Of German
agents and the treachery Of men high in authority in the
Russian capital, it seems like a\page lifted from the
history of the Middle Ages and inserted in one OF the
chapters relating to the Twentieth century.
The story must be read to be appreciated, but one
feature is particularly pathetic and impressive. 1t is the
description given of a meeting between the deposed mon
arch and Kerensky. who was then the acting head Of the
provisional government. The interview was on some
matter of state business, and, after discussing the mat
ter Of routine which had brought them together the de-
posed car and his late subject smoked and chatted am
icably together. At the close Of the session Nicholas ex-
pressed the pleasure which it had given him to meet
Kerensky. and spoke of his regret that in the past he had
been unable to meet men of his type and have them as
ISOLATED with him in the government. He said that had
this been possible it would have prevented many diff
culties. y
The story is a simple one, simply told. But It srg-
gests forcefully the isolation Of the man who had for
years been the thular head Of a nation of 40, 900 people.
Hemmed in by self-seekers and sycophants: shut off
from contact with the people and popular opinion: aple
to look out upon the world only through the colored
glasses held before him first by one bureaucrat and then
another; he was the mere %plaything Of designing people.
A stronger man would have brushed aside such sur
roundings, but because. Nicholas was a weak man, his
country suffered and he died.

NONRESIDENT GOVERNMENT

There was a time when a good many Of our people
resented the fact that many of the affairs relating to the
government of the state were shaped in st. Paul. Some
OF our politicians. feeling a desire to exchange views
would communicate with each other, and presently
without any beating Of drums or flourish Of trumpets
well known North Dakota men would be seen by close
watchers slipping quietly into the Merchants hotel, there
to be lost until they emerged as mysteriously as they
entered.
But whatever else could be said of the men most
prominent in North Dakota politics in those days, IT
was at least true that even though they sometimes chose
to meet quietly outside Of the state, they were really
North Dakota men and had substantial interests in the
state. They were politicians. sometimes of the rough
and ready sort, but they were also North Dakota farm
es and business men. taxpayers, and, as a rule, men
who had known the hardships Of the pioneer life, and
who had worked their way by their own industry to po-
Eihons Of honor in the communities where they lived.
AS much cannot be said for our nonresident state
government today. The government Of the state is con-
Quoted from st. Paul. It is conducted with a secrecy
unknown to the old crowd. It ia conducted under a
form Of autocracy to which the members Of the old
crowd. whatever may have been their tendencies and
wishes, were strangers. And it is conducted by men
who. in most cases, have neither homes nor interests in
North Dakota. neither honorable pasts nor hopeful pros
out, can move on to the next place and tackle another.

WILD %BLACKBERRlES

Ordinarily We do not think Of England as a country
OF wild fruits or Of anything wild. Our most familiar
pictures Of ENGLAND arc Of = country Of dense popula-
ton, where every nook IL cultivated to the limit and

Of the bits relating to other wild and open spaces. we
modify our views Of England, only to have the garden
idea reassert itself as the one which properly belongs
to the land.
But England, It appears. takes no mean place in the
list rs . producer Of wild fruit Recently she has been
enjoying q surfeit Of wild blackberries, and the food ad-
ministration has taken steps to see that this fine fruit
Il utilized to the limit. In localities where the berries
thrive permits have been given to children to be absent
from school in order that they may pick berries. In
Devon and Cornwall the crop has been abundant. and
We can%inagine that in the very slens where children
have been picking berries within the past month young
John Kidd picked just such berries from just such
bushes In the days moro than two hundred years ago,
when the Doones rode from their valley to terrorixe the
countryside. IN those two counties, after local jam fac
tories were supplied with all the fruit that could be used,
there remained = surplus Of more than 20 tons daily, and

explained. and went on to tell what
the curfew is in English villages.
