R. 4 N. Co. As the matter now stands, the railroad company and net the city owns the site f the city . waterworks tower. This tower was placed on ground which at the time was supposed te be occupied by Garfield street, a public thorough fare. Since the railroad claims the ground in question, the city is in duty bound to acquire title, but in doing so it should not in the least countenance any move on the part of the railroad company to keep Fourth street closed or to in any. way interfere in its con struction, improvement or "uniformity with other streets of the town. The railroad company, for reasons of its own, will probably in the end offer a compromise by opening Garfield street and and precluding the opening of Fourth stieet north froin the company's right of way. This is what the city should guard against. People liviig north of . the railroad trucks on Fourth street have just as much right to an open thoroughfare as those lesid ing on Third and Fifth streets. When you clog up the extension of a street you stagnate improvement and growth in tUsit direction. Let nothing Htand in the wny t'f street opening ie Athena. It in wiid tlmt Secrt'tHrv Cortelyou line found that work done in lie govern ment printing nrtlce for the various de- p irtmontH him cost far more tlmu would liijve been charged by private concerns outside. The cause is said to be the limiting of the work that can be done in the government printing office, and other arbitrary regulations concerning the doing of the work. One instance is given in which a department official ob t.iined an estimate for some work from 1h gerern merit printer. He thought the price was high, and he asked for bids from outside concerns. II obtain e l a much lower price, and the contract was given to a firm in Baltimore. There appears to be a disposition on the part of organized labor to dispute the attitude assumed by President Roosevelt with respect to the case of Foreman Miller of tlu government book-bindery. It was Huid at the time this subject was up for diietiMiou, that the unions would make a mistake if they fought President Roosevelt. The employes of the gov ernment printing erttce may yet have rouson to wish they had let that caie drop whon Miller was reinstated. The investigation conducted by Secretary Cortelyou was the direct result of the Miller controversy. There is evidently a vast difference between a boxing contest and a real prize fight, when it comes to entertain ing a ciowd. The 10-round contest giv en in Athena Friday night was excelled by a 3-round preliminary, so far as "mixing it" was concerned. Judging from comments overheard, boxing con tests are too tame for Athena sports, and unless it can be arranged in future for a little more "boring in," door receipts will not be sufficient to pay for towels nnd water bottles. The Friday night contest was clearly within the limit of the law. The limit was not strained in tUo least. Even good boxing was elim inated. In an article entitled, "Aggressive Forest Reservation," which appears in the North American Review, Mr. James P. Kimball make a vigorous protest Hgitmtit the wholesale sequestration from the public domaiu of vast areas, ftuiuetimos in units of thousands of square miles, as forest reserves. The ostensible object of such reservations is to protect the forests, but it appears that reservations made include regions which are destitute of forest in any measured sense of the term, and some which are even above the timber line. The extent of the forest reserves, Mr. Kimball says, was 71,697 square miles in 1000, and with additions made in 1902 by Presi dent Roosevelt it now foots op 80,000 square miles, an area equal to the com bined areas of the New England states together witk the area of Maryland. The process of reservation involves great hardships to those who happen to have made homes for themselves in the regions set apart, for they can use their property only as they are permitted to do by the regulations of the interior department, which are at times, Mr. Kimball avers, administered arbitrarily and even unlawfully. Not only so, but the industries of stock raising and wool growing, which have done so much for the west are threatened with ruin. Another attempt to scale Mt." McKin ley in Alaska has failed. It looks as if the job would have to be turned over to the woman who has just started to cap ture one of the untrodden peaks of the Andes after scaling all the difficult mountains of Europe. ;. - The German state gives to one uui versity more than the British govern ment allows to aU the universities and university colleges in England, Ireland and Scotland together. . . , The American investment in religious and educational institutions in Turkey is $6,500,000, and more than 920,000,000 has been spent in mission work covering nearly a century.
