that judging b) his ferocious anti-German
speeches M Deschanet is endeavoring to
undermine the French Ministry and to pro

Deschanet according to the writer of the
article pursues with indomitable encrg)
the Chauvinist Idea of cutting Germany
from the Triple Alliance and effecting a
rappi ochement with Russia and Ital) on
one hand and Great Britain on the other.
ccording to the writer, the next move
in this programme would be for France to
attempt to reconquer Alsace-Lorraine,
with the active aid of Russia, while Aus

and forests maj be considered from two
points of view as a source of lumber sup
ply and as a phsical factor with effects
upon climate, erosion, and the How of
streams. As a source of lumber supply, the
fort-st is. tc all intents and purposes, an
agricultural crop, differing from most oth
er agricultural products in the fact that it
requires a long time to reach inaturit
generations while other crops require
only months or, at most, a few- j ears
"The forestb of the United States con
sist In part of what is commonlj called
.original growth, which means Bimplj that
the forest is composed in the main of old
trees which hae, bj sufferance of lire and
the ax, been permitted to reach or exceed
maturitj, and in part of joung growth of
arious ages coenng regions which hae
been either whorl) or partially cleared bv
lire or the ax
"The former areas bear a mature crop,
the latter a crop in process of growth;
the forest is constantl) restoring itself in
all those regions where the rainfall Is suf
ficient to encourage tree growth; and in
time, if not interfered with, thebo regions
will furnish a supply of lumber as large,
and presumabl) of the same quality, as
that .nailable when settlement first in
adc4 them. Hence the timber supplj of
the counm is. m a sense, a continuous

it differs from our supplies of iron ore,

Locked up in the village jail Is Harr) Hin
man, twentv -three vears old, who is charg
ed by Mrs. Edgar with abducting her

Mrs Edgar is a widow, who lives In Mia
nus, a hamlet between Greenwich and Cos
Cob Her only child is Annie, a prett)
black-eyed girl of twelve )ears. Annie at
tended the xillage school. She was said

Two weeks ago Mrs Edgar noticed that
Annie was not paving attention to her
studies She caught her writing love notes
On Saturdav last the girl disappeared, and
has not been heard of since Shortly after
dinnci that day Annie dressed herself in
her biocle costume and started out. '1 1
be back for supper," were her last words
to her mother as she started down the
road. She told her mother that she was
going to visit a friend Annie did not re
turn for supper, and Mrs. Edgar hecamo
worried When Annie did not arrive homo
thatjjight Mrs. Edgar xas frantic.
The next dav she broke open one of the
drawers in hei daughter's bureau and
found several letters from Hinman. One
was dated March 1. In it Hinman asked
Annie to meet him in Stamford, it is al
leged. Mrs. Edgar waited patiently for
three da)s for tidings of her daughtpr.
This afternoon she came to Port Chester
and went to Justice of the Peace Stephen
Marshall's office, where she swore out a
warrant for Hinmau's arrest. In the com
platnt Mrs. Edgar alleges that Hinman en
ticed her daughter from home; that they
went to Stamford and then eloped to Port
Chester. The warrant was given to Po
liceman Hkkey, who arrested Hinman.
He was arraigned before Justice Marshall
and pleaded not guilty to the charge. His
case was postponed until tomorrow. - He
was sent to the lockup Meanwhile theio
llce are searching for the missing girl.

Aomng the principal items of interest In

and tints, In Grant count) Montana.
Comment is made on the continued output
of turquoise mines in Grant county. New
Mexico, the opening of the turquoise
property near Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
the development of the turquoise localities
in Nevada and California, a great advance
in the price of emeralds and pearls; a
distinct Increase In tne price of all quali
ties of cut diamonds, and a great increase
in the amount of diamond cutting, espe
cially of the finer qualities, in the United
States, although this Industry was mate
rially affected because of the higher prices
during the latter part of the )ear, and,
lastl), in general, a continued search for
the minor gems in North Carolina, Maine,
Connecticut, and other States.
The total value of the gems prod ac el
