New York.-It was Wah Since, the Oriental gentleman who removes the scattered notes from my cuffs, who supplied the important information that the anniversary of the first Chinese laundry in America is close to hand.
 Within a few days. 1t will be ex- actly 80 years since the first Chinese laundry sign appeared in this land. The year was 1851, and the scene was California.
 Just two years prior to this his- toric event, the '49 days were get Something like 500 Chinese had oneer residents of the gold rush country.
 And the times being what they were, a clean shirt was of slight consequence. These hardy pio- neers did not leave behind them a reputation for changing underwear or collars, or socks. Some of the l more primitive pictures portray them more interested in washing gold than washing wool shirts and linens, if any.
 Furthermore, most everything brought a fabulous sum and many were fortunate to leave with a shirt. There were others, however, who managed to buy up whole haber- dasheries and still have plenty of gold for their heirs and assignees forever.
 The occasion of a Chinese laundry opening was considered front page news in the mining camp belts and in and around San Francisco and Sacramento. ,. Paragraphs were de- voted to the fact that shirts could now be washed at so many dollars per bundle and hundred. It was an extreme drop in price from former figures, and later records revealed that never had so many clean shirts been seen in the length and breath of the golden state.
 To-day, the Chinese laundnry is one of our quaint and colorfuf in- stitutione
 No matter what the city. the home town Chinese laundry Is likely to be housed in some dingy looking basement or just beyond some back. street in 6 building that possibly was an old shed or a barn. Few members of the populations ever sec the properitor or his fellow workers. except when iaundry is delivered. His methods have res mained pretty well unchansed dur. ing tho years. The old washtnb and washbohrd will not perish from the earth so long as the Wah Shoes Of the country survive.

A new racket has developed in California. Real estate promoters of an inscriptions de- sign have been selling land right and left in the Imperial Valley. Just now it is arid. but the glib promoters claim that when the Hoov- CT Dam on the Colorado River swings into action the entire valley will burst into bloom. That's only partly true. The dam won't be used to irrigate one square foot of land. As everyone should know it is intended pri- mariIy to control flow of the Colorado and to provide water power for the generation of electricity. Suckers beware of the golden gleam in Imperial Valley real estate.

New York's Forests

The New York state conservation oommis- sioner reported the other day that progress made this spring in tree planting exceeds by 5000 acres the scheduled set up for the year under the states enlarged reforestation pro- gram. New York is as speedy and forehanded as RussiS in beating its own program.
 There's state that means business in this matter. Department nurseries have shipped out 33,0o0.000 young trees this spring. Some of these went to state forest areas, some to counties. some to individual landowners, many to boy and girl farm club members. and many to miscellaneous organizations that have taken up the work of planting idle land here and there. If fire protection and regulation of cutting are as effective as the planting pro- gram. New York will make itself famous for its forest conservation.

DANIEL N. MORGAN
(Hartford Times)


 In 1898 the democratic candidate for governor of Connecticut was Dan- iel Nash Morgan. a very live, hearty and able gentleman who had been born at Newtown. 1S44. moved to Bridgeport after 1869, and succeeded so well in business and politics that in recognition of his prestige as an outstanding New England citizen for mer President Grover Cleveland made him treasurer of the United States.
 Beside being a leading merchant. MT. Morgan was by 1893 president of two important banks in Bridgeport. He had been a member of the board of common council and board of education. From 1880 to 1884 he was mayor. He was representative in the legislature, 1883, state senator for three terms, and one of the ac- knowledged "war horses" of the "old line' democracy. Defeated for the goVernorship he was his party's can- didate for United States senator. when the assembly met in 1899, but failed of election.
 The Bryan era had begun. Fifty six years of age at the close of the century. MT. Morgan's political ca reer did not Survive the distressed years which ensued for the demo- cratic party nationally. He was nearly S7 when he died, Saturday night. at the Bridgeport hospital. which institution he had helped to found. having been a nenlber of the original building committee, a df- rector. vice-president and president. Ills citizenship had been well-round. |od. He led In the three fields of business, public service and phiian- thropy, adding also q faithful and prominent stowardship in his lodges and his church.

Heroes may come and heroes may go but we doubt if any will ever have the appeal of Hale. Executed at the age of 2l no action aroused more eriti- eism of British military authorities even among their own ranks than did the hanging of this youthful patriot. It is pity that Hale did not live to a ripe old age. We feel sure that Connecticut would have been the richer there. by.

The Ger. mans, attacking on the Afsne, made small gains at Braye-en-Lannois.
