Prof. Goetz, Former Richmond Man, Urges Indiana People to Action.

Conservation Laws Are Badly Needed in State and Nation, He Says.

That a timber and wood famine la only a matter of 25 or 30 years unless the people of Indiana awaken to the problem of reforestation-and conservation of their waste lands, is the opinion of Prof. C. H. Goetz, a former Rich mond boy, and graduate of the Ohio State Forestry department, who is spending the holidays with relatives at 627 South Ninth street. -Prof. Goetz is a member of the faculty of the Colorado school of forestry. According to the professor this school has the finest out-door forest laboratory in the United States. It has 6,000 acres of fine timber land and 13,000 acres in the heart of Pikes Peak National forest. "It is time that laws be enacted for the protection of the remaining forest areas and waste lands in all the states. Indiana should have a state forester to look after the reforestation of waste land." said Prof. Goetz. "There should be tax exemption laws that would not tax lands held as forest and would tax the timber crop only once, at the time, of harvest. "This would encourage private owners to devote a certain amount of their land to forests. Under the present system of taxing land and standing timber, a compound tax is laid on the owner of such lands. This fosters thi deforestation to the highest degree." ."How would the people of Indiana be pleased if all their land was as barren as some parts of China? Deplorable as such conditions would be, if things are allowed to drift as in the past it will be but a few years until Indiana will have but a few scattering trees. t "I am'nbt a prophet, but it does not take one long to see that the time is coming when Indiana and the entire East will experience a timber ana wood famine. Nowhere can such fine hardwood be grown as in this region, on what are now considered waste lands. These lands should not be allowed to lie idle when they pan be made among the best assets of the state. "Profiting by the experience of European countries we should realize that we are In large measure responsible for conditions in years to come, and take the necessary steps to protect our forests for the coming generations."

Building Operations Total $461,865 in 1913

One Hundred and Twentynine Houses Erected, 103 Being Frame Dwellings Growth Over Whole City.

Although the total value of building operations in Richmond during 1913 was not as great as in come previous years, the total value being $461,865, according to building permits issued by City Controller McMahan, a new record for the number of residences constructed was set. One hundred and twenty-nine new houses were erected. Of this number 103 were frame dwellings, twenty-five brick and one boulder. Besides the new houses there were the usual number of remodeled homes and additions. The locations given on the permits Issued by the controller bhow that the growth has been general in all parts of the city, with the bulk of the building tending to lead across the river to West Richmond. Lack of building in the factory and business districts kept the total figures down. Value of Three is $30,000 Only three structures were built

during the year the Y&lue of which reached 130,000. The three permits are for the Joseph Moore school house in West Richmond, Miller Brothers Hardware company's three-story addition, and the business block built by John Evans at Tenth and Main streets. While the majority of permits are for dwellings, the cost to be from $1,500 to ?3,000, a few permits were issued for larger structures, as follows: Wayne Aerie of Eagles new home, $20,000; H. D. Cabinet company, $10,000; Pilot Motor Car company, $7,000; Willard Carr residence. $11,000; Linden Realty company's business rooms, $10,000. A number of permits were issued for small garages, the cost ranging from $100 to $400, and a number of sheds and barns to cost similar sums. The three months during which the bulk of the building was done were May, June and August, the estimated value of improvements during that period being $202,665, or almost double that of the operations during the first three months, which amounted to $120,700. For the last four months the records show: September, $27,650; October, $19,700; November, $25,600; December $10,000.

LIVES AT OLD TAVERN

Draws Sketches of Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley, Then a Baby.

On New Year's eve, eighty-three years ago, the residents of the village of Richmond were mildly aroused by the appearance of a very mysterious stranger in their midst. The newcomer was tall and swarthy, and his speech was so mixed with Spanish as to render conversation with him difficult. It was supposed that he was a political refugee from Mexico, but nothing ever occurred to warrant the belief. He spent most of his time in a room he had taken in the village, and was rarely seen save when he joined the merry revelers in the tavern after sundown. He never talked of himself and was singularly reticent concerning his past. He had considerable skill with crayon, and often amused himself by sketching portraits of his comrades. Draw Baby Picture. While spending an evening with the family of John Finley he drew a number of pictures of the baby, who is better known now as Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley, of South Fourteenth street. Mrs. Wrigley preserved these pictures and recently sent them to her daughter in the east, who showed them to a very talented artist. This artist pronounced them to be of the same general type as the Holbein sketches now on exhibition in the National museum, and almost approaching them in merit. The stranger remained in Richmond over a year, spending most of his time in drinking at the tavern. He always apparently had plenty of money, a phenomenon that excited comment even in those days. His appetite for liquor finally overcame him and he froze to death one night in a snow drift, thus hiding his secret forever.

At a meeting of the Columbian Farmers' Association to be held Thursday, January 1, at the No. 6 school house on the Middleboro pike, the officers of the organization and of the Domestic Science club will be installed. The meeting will begin at 7.30 p. in. After the work of installing the new officers has been completed, a basket supper will be served. The committee desires that a large number of persons attend, the only admission fee being a well-filled basket. The officers to be installed are: Omar Young, president; Fred Davis, vice president; Charles Miles, secretary, and Fred -Bullerdick. treasurer. The Domestic Science club officers are: Mrs. Laujja Dolloff. president; Mrs. Omar Young, vice president; Mrs. A. Pyle, secretary, and Mrs. John Nolte, treasurer.

BAPTISTS TO MEET Wednesday night will be Baptist and Christian church night at the Honeywell tabernacle. All the members of the congregations and Sunday schools of the First and Second Baptist and the First and Central Christian churches who can attend, will meet in the Sunday school rooms of the First Baptist church promptly at 7:15. and will march in a body to the tabernacle where seats will d reserved for them.
