WHAT FORESTS ARE DOING Importance of Government's Efforts to Conserve them, Adding as They Do to the Rainfall The importance of the work of the Government Forest Service, the preservation and perpetuation of the remaining forest wealth of the country and the rehabilitation of deforested areas and denuded watersheds can scarcely be exaggerated. The devastation of forest areas and dependent resources if permitted to go on unchecked, everywhere throughout the country threatens practical extinction of the timber supply and destruction of the water resources and other natural sources of material wealth vitally essential to the life of the Nation, industrially and otherwise. It is the purpose in this place to explain the relation of the Forest Service to the improvement of conditions in this respect and to touch upon the methods employed and the scope of the work. This service has to do, then, with the practical uses of forests and forest trees in the United States, and first of all aid the commercial management of forest tracts and forest plantations. The varied work of the Forest Service is organized under seven offices, each of which has several sections. All are directly responsible to the Forester, to whom is entrusted the administration of the entire system of forest protection, perpetuation and extension. Since February, 1905, the Forest Service has been charged under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture with the administration of the National Investigations and tests are tended to cover furniture and woods, railroad tiles, fence piles and poles. These tests are designed to secure a better edge of the comparative timbers under various conditions add to the list of comments suitable for construction projects promote economy in the nation and use of timbers. Experienced on in the preservation of various commercial and structural have resulted in the development effective treatments which greater utility and economy of timber for such purposes problems engaging the science of the service is that woods or paper pulp, the ways futilizing the present saw-mill waste and the analysis preservatives and of treatment. The value of these activities technical research and investigating the subject of preserving, extending and economizing resources of the country, is important and must have a tremendous bearing upon the future of the Nation, materially and tournamental.

All are directly responsible to the Forester, to whom is entrusted the administration of the entire system of forest protection, perpetuation and extension. Since February, 1905, the Forest Service has been charged under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture with the administration of the National forest reserves. The office of forest management is its most important function in this connection. This office deals with the problems of management offered by existing forests indiscriminately, whether these be on the National reserves or on tracts belonging to States, corporations or individuals. It has undertaken to prepare working plans which will allow reserve timber purchased under the law to be logged without injury to the present forest or danger to the future. Studies of commercial trees, so far as they form the immediate basis of forest management fall under the work of this office. These include investigations of the adaptability of important timber trees to management for commercial purposes, determination of the timber product obtainable at different diameters, the rate of growth and future yield, what is requisite to insure reproduction and to supply present and future uses and markets. Aside from the care and perpetuation of the National forests the efforts of the Forest Service are largely devoted to such forest studies and undertakings as lie beyond the power or the means of individuals to carry on unaided. Cooperative State studies are also prosecuted with States which request its advice. The chief end of this work is to get forestry into actual practice with successful results. The work of the office of forest extension falls under two main heads—co-operative planting done by arrangement with private owners, and planting operations and studies of forest replacement on the reserves. Co-operation with private owners, which has been carried on since 1899, is designed to promote to profitable establishment of forest growth through planting, especially in regions where timbered areas are wanting or insufficient and to gather data of practical value. The reforestation work of the service includes experimental planting and nursery propagation on the National reserves. The afternoon sports at The park will be a thrilling affair, chariot races which for several have attracted thousands of will again be the main attraction. The Tournament ball, when given in the evening at Hickory will be a brilliant affair, added attraction of Miss M. champion tennis player who has been selected by the directors as queen of the trophy and who will be assisted by her court besides several applications from many towns have been made and shown has been greatly appended to the tournament directors. Home of the Filbert M. A. Jewett, in consultation from the province of Trebble Minor, has this to say about the filbert region of Turkey: "It is estimated that 400,000 acres of land hillsides along the south shore Black Sea are devoted to nature. The young trees begin at the end of the fourth year said to be at their best when eight years old. The orchard newed at the end of fifteen years' time. The nuts are in July and August, and sorted to some extent before brought to market. There are varieties grown—the round and almond—of which the nut are the most abundant and basis for prices. The almost while few, are of high quality for 30 per cent more than usual." The round nuts, which form of the crop, are usually shell being exported, since shelling saving of about 50 per cent freight. The shells are used and a small quantity are Europe, to be used in the art of spices. The nuts are sometimes fumigation before they are However, while this practice color, it is said to injure and the keeping qualities of and is not considered a bene operations and studies of forest replacement on the reserves. Co-operation with private owners, which has been carried on since 1899, is designed to promote profitable establishment of forest growth through planting, especially in regions where timbered areas are wanting or insufficient and to gather data of practical value. The reforestation work of the service includes experimental planting and nursery propagation on the National reserves. This is being conducted on a large scale in many places. The germinating capacity of forest tree seeds is tested in co-operation with the seed laboratory of the Bureau of Plant Industry and through field experiments. A leading branch of the dendrological work of the service is the making of an accurate forest map showing the distribution of tree species in the United States. This means the completion of a forest survey of the entire country. When completed the map will furnish exact information concerning the extent, composition and economic possibilities of the National forest resources. Technical information about trees is supplied on demand, and copies of forest photographs for use in educational work and for the illustration of books and articles dealing with the promotion of forestry are furnished at a nominal price when not supplied gratis. The work of the office of forest products is apportioned to four subjects: Lumber trade studies, timber, tests, wood preservation and dendrochemistry. The lumber trade section studies the supply, transportation, markets and use of timber and other forest products. Studies of wood for special uses embrace the items of cooperage and box woods, vehicle and implement woods and woods for paving blocks.

A LITTLE GIRL KIDNAPPED Called from the Primary School and Carried Away in An Automobile—Taken to Santa Barbara—Effort Is to Be Made to Recover Her Ada Reid McLauchlin, aged 8 years, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McLauchlin, was kidnapped by three persons in an automobile on Wednesday afternoon last shortly before 2 o'clock. The automobile drove up to the primary school building, and one of the occupants, a lady, presumably the mother of the child, alighted and went into the building. She asked Walter Cadman, who was at the entrance to the building, having just carried a message from the grammar school, which room Ada attended. Being shown Mrs. Waldorf's room, the lady knocked, and when the teacher appeared asked for Ada. When the latter appeared the lady took her to the auto, which drove east on Broadway. There were three occupants in the machine, two women and one man. The auto turned east on Kroeger street, and when passing Mr. Wallace's residence, Mr. Field recognized the little girl. A lady was in the act of placing a cloak about her. The little girl was bareheaded. The auto sped northerly out of town, and a short time later was again seen going west rapidly on Orangethorpe avenue. Mr. McLauchlin was notified immediately of the occurrence. He telephoned Sheriff Lacy at Santa Ana, and also officers at Los Angeles and River-side, where the little girl formerly lived with her parents. Her mother's Early morning, embraces entries, grandeur and beauty of decoration designs seem to have the limit of artistic merit. A tournament ball, which will be the evening at Hotel Green, brilliant affair, and with the attraction of Miss May Sutton, tennis player of the world, been selected by the board as queen of the tournament, will be assisted by the ladies court besides several matrons. Icons from many surrounding lives been made and the interest has been greatly appreciated by tournament directors. Home of the Filbert Jewett, in consular reports on province of Trebizond, Asia, asks this to say about the famous region of Turkey: "It is estimated 400,000 acres of land on the along the south shore of the area are devoted to filbert cult; young trees begin to bear off of the fourth year and are at their best when seven or years old. The orchards are reared at the end of fifteen or twenty time. The nuts are harvested and August, and dried and some extent before being sold to market. There are three grown—the round, pointed—and of which the round nuts most abundant and furnish the prices. The almond filberts, are of high quality and sell far cent more than the round. Round nuts, which form the bulk cup, are usually shelled before exported, since shelling effects are about 50 per cent on the shells are used for fuel. All quantity are shipped to be used in the adulteration. Its are sometimes bleached by onion before they are exported, while this practice improves it is said to injure the flavor keeping qualities of the nuts, considered a beneficial prac- Mr. McLauchlin was notified immediately of the occurrence. He telephoned Sheriff Lacy at Santa Ana, and also officers at Los Angeles and River-side, where the little girl formerly lived with her parents. Her mother's name was Reid at the time Ada was adopted five years ago. She has since married, her name now being Grady, and she resides at Santa Barbara. She had six children at the time of the adoption of her daughter, and willingly separated from the child. On Thursday morning Mr. McLauchlin learned by wire from Mrs. Grady that the child was with her at Santa Barbara. Whether the auto made the trip from Los Angeles north, or whether the party had taken the train out of Los Angeles, he was unable to learn. Some months ago the mother brought a contest in the superior court of Orange county for the recovery of the child. Her application was resisted, and Judge West, after hearing testimony in the case, decided against her, awarding custody of the child to Mr. McLauchlin. The child has been comfortably provided for, her foster parents being in affluent circumstances and have become greatly attached to her. She was well cared for, was sent to school regularly and entertained especial fondness for her foster parents. Mr. McLauchlin went to Santa Barbara on Friday and was in consultation with officers there regarding the kidnapping. He will take steps to recover possession of the child. Advices from Santa Barbara are to the effect that the child is anxious to return to her foster parents, having quite forgotten her unnatural mother. Facts About Coal The Irrigation Congress recommended government ownership of coal mines, to be effected by the government retaining title to coal lands which have not yet been alienated, though allowing acquisition by citizens of the surface of the ground for farming and other uses. The geological survey also favors this policy. Facts About Coal The Irrigation Congress recommended government ownership of coal mines, to be effected by the government retaining title to coal lands which have not yet been alienated, though allowing acquisition by citizens of the surface of the ground for farming and other uses. The geological survey also favors this policy. The discussion of this subject makes interesting some facts on the early occurrence of coal in the United States. The first information is in the journal of Father Hennepin, who, in 1679 recorded a coal mine on the Illinois river, near the present city of Ottawa. Coal was first mined in Virginia about seventy years later. The mining of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania began in 1790, and it is said that fifty-five tons were shipped to Columbia, Pennsylvania, in 1807. More than 50 per cent of the total production of coal in the United States, from 1814 to the close of 1906, or 3,540,000,000 tons, was mined in Pennsylvania. A publication on the production of coal in 1906 will soon be ready for distribution by the geological survey. Nasal Catarrh quickly yields to treatment by the agreeable, aromatic Ely's Cream Balm.
