A TREE CENSUS.

The United States may shortly count the heads
CT it's trees as it already does those OF its men,
women. and children. movement to this effect
is already under way, told by a writer
in The Hardwood Record (Chicago), and has
been approved in a resolution passed by mass
meeting Of lurnbermen.
The announcement was also made at that time
that The National Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
CATION would assist if the work were undertaken.
The regular decennial census will be taken next
year, and the timber count may be made part
al it. If iha plan is carried out. The writer goes
to say:
This viii not be the first attempt at timber
census n this country. a dozen more years
ago the Bureau Of Corporations, apparently hav-
ing vague glimmer Of an idea that something
Of The sort should be done as preliminary step
toward prosecuting mythical timber trust, de-
cided to proceed. Four hundred thousand dol
lars, r1oIe o. less, We're spent in collecting fig
ur,5 on standing timber in many parts of the
county, but not in al parts Voluminous pre-
Iir1iEaIy reports were published. Part " alone
III that report covered 933 printed pages. 1t is
Il safe guess that these reports were never read
through b. any human being except the proof
readers IN the printing office, and they were
hired to do il The whole thing seemed to
peter out without reaching any conclusions that
trail Of any lumber trust, the Bureau of Corpora
tions called off the forces and quit. In that way
ended what might have been timber census. BY
adding. subtracting, multiplying, and dividing,
people have been able to use those incomplete
figures to show total timber stand in the
United States Of $500, 1000, 100000 feet. In the
absence OF anything better, this total has been
tentatively accepted.
Let it be hoped that the present movement
toward timber census will be more successful.
Ii it is undertaken, it will be successful, be-
it will proceed in business way
"A timber census ought to be compiled. 1t is
big undertaking, but bigger than many
others which have been successfully carried out.
The acreage of corn is known; the bushels of po-
tatoes are recorded; the head of cattle, sheep,
horses, and hogs, and the number of eggs and
pounds of butter compiled by census takers,
and why not similar method be used for
timber?

the result in either case is bound to be
disappointing. The successful carry

There has been born out in the little old town
of San Diego, Cal, new genius in the form of a
musical critic whom we commend to any aes-
thetic publication of the effete east that needs
scintillaton on its staff.
Having acquired as permanent residents such
celebrities as Schumann-Henk Nine. Darsch
Austin Adams and John D. Spreclles, San Diego
felt that she had grown to the need of a munich
pal band. Then, too, there the necessity of
cheering up the visiting tourists while they were
in her midst. And really, band musicians are so
thick in San Diego that you step on them while
doing your ordinary marketing. But, she buys
no pig in poke or band either, and, So the other
day, San Diego's proposed municipal band had to
assemble and show what it could do, or was likely
to do, to committee of business men and the
common councilmen. all of wohn are as musical
parrots. And the critic of The Daily Union
reports
The director had some so pieces in action"
All hail to the new-style honorable critic. say

CAR STOLEN THREE TIMES
is RECOV WERE u
Four Men Placed Under Arrest in
Connection With the Theft of
Granville Ford Auto.

Charles Belanger, local automobile
painter, was placed under arrest early
Monday morning, charged with the
theft of a Ford auto belonging to Ben
Carlos, the Granville butcher. Three
other men have been arrested in con-
nection with the theft of this car and
others are likely to get into the tolls,
as it is said that Belanger has told
all that he knows about the transac-
ton.
The car has been stolen three times.
1t was first stolen at Velva about
three weeks ago at the time of the
homecoming celegration. It was plac-
ed in barn with another stolen car
about fifteen miles south of the city,
where it was kept for several days. It
appears that there has been a gang
connected with the theft of several
cars in this vicinity and couple Of
members of the gang tried to get the
cars away from the others. When
thieves fall out, honest men generally
receive their just due. The car was
taken from the barn south Of the city
by telephone lineman, it il charged.

who was arrested at Stanley Tuesday.
The fellow claims thae he took it dur
ing drunken spree and that he had
no intention Of getting away with it.
The car was run into a slough south
of the city where it was abandoned.
Here is where Belanger comes in. It
is said that he learned that the car
was in slough and that he secured
a couple Of fellows to drive out to
where the car was located. The two
fellows who accompanied him to the
country have also been arrested. The
car was driven about the city some and
it was kept in q. garage in Eastwood
Park. When the owner came to Minot
Sunday, he saw his car on the street
and recognized it from a dent in the
front fender. The number of the en-
CINE correspondent to that of the car
that was stolen, except that one figure
was .chiseled away.
