WASHINGTON, Aug. L The Census

acre and Chicago with 114,932, ranking
next. Hoboken with 826 acres, had th
smallest land area.
The total corporate expenditures of the
151 cities for th fiscal year 1904, exclusive
of payment by on department of th city

of the total Increase. ' ,
In the 151' cjtle the amount .spent for
permanent worka Increased almost 6 per
cent over 1903.
Though New York ha only twice the
population of Chicago, Its current expense
ar nearly four time a great. The nertt
six largest 'elite of the country togetheY
expend less than New York. Though Chi

The . cities of over 100,000, population not

(From a Staff C6rresponlent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 .-(Special Tele
gram.) Officials of the Forestry bureau
today were shown a story which appeared
In The Bee recently announcing that ther
are no trees on the eo-caTled North Platte
forest reserve, and the further statement
by an "ex-offlclal of the government serv
ice" that the president was deceived Into
the belief that the country mentioned Was
heavily wooded. The forestry officials were
much amused over the alleged discovery by
a "former attache of the government serv
ice" that there Is practically no timber on
the $00,009 acre known as the North Pllflte
forest Teserve. The fact is tne forestry
peorle have known all nlong that ther were
no forest on this strip of sandy land and
it Was merely set "aside for 'ttre. purpose of
experimenting lh growing of forests upon It.
In 1901 a field' party from th geological!
survey made an exhaustive examination of
the North Platte region rlow embraced In
the reserve and rnade'an elaborate report
to the department.- It is the purpose of the
Forestry bureau to plant yellow pine on
the North Platte reserve and they will draw
their seedlings for the planting from the
forestry nursery, at Halseyt Neb. Th oll
of the North PlaUe country., It la said, I
similar In all essential respects to that of
the Black Hills Country, where vast forests
of pine of merchantable value thrive. From
time to time seedlings will be taken from
the Halsey nursery anflf planted on the
North Platte barren wastes and In the
course of the next generation, it Is calcu
lated, a virgin forest of yellow pine will
succeed the how treeles. sftndy expanses.
Until such time as the Forestry bureau is
ready to plant Its seedlings permission will
be granted to cattlemen to graze their
herds. A fast as a tract la seeded, or
rather planted, this area Will be fenced by
the government to protect It from being
disturbed by roaming herds. It Is estimated
that It will take from thirty to forty years
to fully accomplish the forestatlon of the
North Platte reserve.

failure to keep an appointment with offi
cial of the police department and search
for him wa Instituted.
Judge Brentano of the superior court to
day appointed John C. Fetier receiver for
the closed bank.. The bill of complaint
filed in court alleges mismanagement by
officials.
Women Secure Receiver.
The appointment of a receiver was ob
tained by two women depositor of the
bank, who hold claim against th In
stitution aggregating less than $300. Th
court was told that ther were more than
20.000 person who hav money deposited In
the alleged defunct Institution and' that
most of these creditor are people of little
means and who know little or nothing
about business methods. Chrge wer
ad that the officer of the bank hav
taken with them large sum of money
belonging to the Institution and the court
wa asked to summon them to appear
before him In the event that they can be
found nd to demand that they give an
accounting of the money said to be In their
possession.
After further consultation with Assistant

Inhuman" the circulation of stories to
the effect that small depositors of the
Stensland bank will lose all of their sav

ter how much bad paper is found there,"
said Mr. Forgan, "the depositor will get
at least -65 per cent and maybe 76 per cent
of their money'
"There 1 over $1,000,000 In cash avail
