The North Side now resembles a suburb of Chicago. The real estate men seem to have all united in booming this jj&rt of the city and the result Is now apparent to anyone who visits the locality near Collett park. One of our promintmt capitalist* and a large property owner »aid to the writer that be had not been over the North Side until a few days ago. "1 was surprised at the development," Haiti he. "I bad no idea Term Haute i««uch agrowing city. There i* evidence of substantial growth everywhere. lo yon know that I think there is a great deal of money to be made out of r*i estate in the next few years? I do not know of a city any where in which prices are so low. The truth is, real estate is altogether too cheap in Ten® Haute, Prices am bonnd to advance."

A visitor from Danville, Illinois was in the city a few days since, while riding about the dty inquiry was made as to the price ol desirable building lots. "There i» a corner lot," said the Terre Hautean, that was offered me the other day at $20 per foot." What," exclaimed the Dan vi

Ulan, "do you menu to sav property is so cheap in your city." The lot in question is locate*! on Seventh street only seven blocks from Main street.

4,VVhy,

that lot in Danville, a city not half the am? of Terre Haute, could not be purchased for such an amount am surprised at the cheapness of property here.

But to return to the North Side. The *N, writer drove over the new "annex," as it is called, last Sunday and made a few vSf observations. Those who enjoyed the fresh air of Collett Park last summer will l^e »n fronted with a much more imposing scene when the gates of the j»rk are thrown open to the public about a month hence. Umm of cottages have been £t erected and «l«ens more are building.

The change has been a marked one and anyone who has not bad occasion to pay a visit to the annex will marvel at its growth. Iteal estate firms have all tlie vacant ground plastered over with signs —large ones, too, tlmt can le read at a distance of a block or more. Lots are staked off and numbered and many are marked "sold." Fully fifty persons were walking over the vacant ground last Sunday looking at the unsold lots.

The opening of the North Side has "$ given an impetus to real estate dealing. It bad boen a spur to real estate agents and they are now pushers. Thev are spending money in advertising ana developing subdivisions and are doing much in the way of building up the city.

Terre Haute is now assuming metropolis tan airs and the real estate men are not behind the times. The general awakening which has been taking place will develop the city in other directions. What a fine body of land lies just south of the city. All that is needed is the building of a street car line to the corporate limits south and push to make the South Side rival the North. Already there Is energy being expendod In developing the southoastem quarter ol the city. Cottage Place paved the way and other additions have been laid out on East Poplar street and south of this thoroughfare. "What a fine subdivision Crolt farm could be made," remarked a gentleman the other day. "I want to see it developed tor the good of the South Side. 'Hie fever is spreading and it will be but a short time until the ICant Side will receive its share of attention.

The reservation* which h&ve ceded by the Chfppewas in this state to the government embrace the heaviest white pine forests now available as a source of lumber supply. These forests are largely contributory to the retention of die moisture which feeds the streams and lakes that make the sources of the MiauheippI river. Already there in much said about the great commercial value of these pine lands, and there is not the slightest doubt that as soon as the regioa Is opened by the government the work of destruction will commence which will speedily lay bare the soil and subject ft to the drying Influence of the sun and wind, or to the forest fires, which will kill every young growth which appears and destroy even tree seed which bas been borne there by the winds. The result of this will be the diminution of th* sources of the supply of the Mississippi, which will be felt by every water power company from Itasca to Fort Snelllng

These are grave consequences, and the question is: Shall the denudation of this new region be allowed to go on without some regulations as to cutting and forest renewal?

There would seem to be a good oppor '{unity to bring to bear the world's ex perience in forestry. This reckless deforestation will bring temporary gain to the lumbermen, but it will ultimately ruin water power interests along the river. This is inevitable. In France whole communities were ruined by the destruction of forests, and the government has found it necessary to enter upon the work of restocking about 800, 000 acres with trees, and over $4,000,000 has been spent remedying the serious evils resultant from reckless denudation of land.

That government is spending nearly $1,000,000 a year to continue the good work. It should not be forgotten, in thi? connection, that the destruction of the forests will also remove 'a sheltering influence, and change our climate to one of sharp and sudden variation of temperature, causing successions of sudden thaws and sudden freezings, injurious

Putting one hand tenderly on the little fellow's head, while a pleased look came over bis face, Dickens replied with all the confidence of a story teller who knows privately the whole future life of every one of his brain children: "He did, my boy, he did."-New York Evening Sun.

The Austrian naval architect, Mr. G. A, Oagstatter, discusses future navigation in The London Nautical Magaxine, and define# the limitation ol the rule tliat the logger a vessel the bettor she Is for speed and carrying capacity. If a steamear could be built one mile long and about sixty feet wide, with ample motive power, she could undoubtedly attain fabulous speed. Only one-thirtieth part of her length would have to overcome the water's inertia, while the net of the veesel would experience only surface l!rk tlon. But suoh a model, the writer shows, involves a dangerous, yielding, urn olid structure, exposed to enormous strains, and is hake to be quickly broken in two. Be consequently fixes the limit of length at nine widths, but he concludes that "ex treme speed being the principal Mm, the lightning express vessels of the future will all be fitted out with three screws."

all plants and vegetation. Every reserve of timber in this country ought to be sacredly guarded by the government, and timber cutting be put under stringent regulations, looking to the continued protection of the streams. Unless this is done the Mississippi river wilt surely change its character.

It will become a shallow, sluggish stream, unable to carry off impurities, and useless for navigation and for water power. It will not take very long to effect this charge, either, if the forests are destroyed in the northern part of the state. A present gain in lumber will mean very great injury to all other material interests.—Minneapolis Journal.

A Story of Two Writer*.

Mr Albert Ross (Linn Boyd Porter) recently told how, when a boy, he satisfied his mind over the end of "Great Expectations." His little tow head had

Eited

uzsled itself, and wondered and specuover the closing chapter of the book, until to know for a certainty just what did happen on the ether siiie of thac last page seemed to him the most desirable thing in life. So when Dickens came over and started on his reading tour tho youngster made up his mind to find out. He repressed all his yearnings for candy, and when the great story teller reached his town he was ready to go. He managed to mix himself up with the crowd of persons who wanted to shake hands with the novelist, and as he stood before him and reached out his little brown fist he gasped: "Mr.—Dickens—I want te ask you sumpinP •'Well, my lad, what is it?" t"Did Pip marry EsteUef
