The flood at Port Deposit Saturday
night was the worst eyer known in
that town, and the damage is esti-

Annapolis Letter.
ANNAPOLIS, ND. Feb.'16, 1886.

ANNAPOLIS, MD, Feb.! 10, 1856.
EDITOR The great
err portion of the time of the Senate
is still given to the consideration of
the constitutional convention bills and
likely these bills will engage their at
tention for some time yet. as some Of
the Senators have long speeches pre-
pared upon the subject. Senator Peter,
Of Montgomery county, spoke in favor
of the early-call bill last week, and
Senator Hodson, of Somerset county,
made an able argument, which he
will continue this evening, in opposi-
ton to it.
Senator Browning introduced bill
in the Senate for the better protection
of deer in Garrett county. The bill,
if passed, will prohibit the killing of
deer until the year 1890, and after
that only during the months of Octo-
Der, November and December, and
imposes penalty upon persons run
ming deer with dogs, unless they are
first wounded. He will also intro
duce bill for the protection ofpheas-
ants. He also introduced a bill re-
quiring suits for debt before magls-
trates to be instituted in the district
where the defendant resides, unless
the debt was contracted elsewhere, in
which case the cases must be tried in
the county-seat. The bill to REIN.
burse Garrett county for the school
appropriation withheld, was report
ed favorably from the committee on
Ways and Means and is now in a fair
way to pass. In this matter we were
aided by our efficient States Attor-
ney, Col. j. w. Veitch, who paid US
a visit last week. At the session of
the House last night ten bills were
passed, which is greaternumber by
far than have been passed at any ses-
sion so far. the first bill to pass both
houses, relating to Garrett county,
was a Senate bill, which passed the
House to-day, repeating the law linn
itlng the amount TO be paid for coun-
ty printing.
A delegation consisting of parties
from Baltimore city and few from
the counties waited on the Commit
tee on Education to day and urged
the passage of the bill requiring
Physiology and Hygiene with spec.
ial reference to the effects of alcohol
ic drinks and narcotics upon the hu.
man system to be taught in the pub.
lie schools of the State and in all
educational institutions receiving aid
from the State. but the Committee
had already reported that bill favor
ably to the House.
Tomorrow the State Board and a
delegation of one from each county in
the State are expected to meet the
committee in regard to educational
matters, and it is expected the mat
ter of changing the manner of appor-
tioning the State School Tax will be
discussed. There is a bill in the
hands of the Committee now to re-
quire the State to furnish books free
to all pupils, but owing to the finan-
ces at present it is not known wheth-
er it will receive favorable report.
The weather is more pleasant than
it was a week ago. The snow is
gone and the river and bay are open.
There is nothing to obstruct the pas
sage of vessels and everybody appears
cheerful.

Condition Of Cattle.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Aecording to a |
morning paper it does not appear
that the cattle losses the present win
ter in Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Da-
kota and Wyoming have been heavy.
The reports from Texas show losses
OF five percent from Kansas the
number frozen during the late fearful
blizzard is put at $4,000 instead of
100000. as has been stated heretofore.
In Colorado the losses are not over
two percent, and in Wyoming one
percent.
The adyices from Texas say that
the only section that reports any con-
siderable loss in the State is in the
northern tier Of panhandle counties,
where the feed was meager.
The most serious loss reported Is on
ranges south of Mobeetle and Fort
Elliott. The loss was put at eighty
percent. Investigation brings it down
to thirty percent as the greatest pos
si5le loss.
Kansas dispatches say in regard to
the losses there that as rule the
greatest losses occurred on the smooth
ice over the streams and where the
cattle drified against the wire fences.
There is no denying the fact that the
cattle industry has been crippled in
the western part of Kansas, but with
favorable conditions the recovery will
be rapid. All reports show that the
native cattle are in better condition
than the grade cattle.
In Colorado. in some of the noun.
tain parks, there is still danger of
great losses, as the ranges were over
stocked and feed has become scarce.
The snow still lies deep on the grass,
and it is almost impossible to trans.
port sufficient hay for stock. This
; state Of affairs threatens to cause i'm.
mense losses to individual stock men,
but it applies only to Isolated cases,
where there has not been sufficient
time to accumulate food.
The Wyoming advices are that the
cattle in the Territory never expert
enced better winter. No snow has
fallen to a depth of more than one
inch, and did not last two days at 9
time. None has fallen since January
l. Cattle are fatter than ever known
this season. and fit for shipment. Tit
, warm weather has kept the stream
open. 1t is expected that from TIL
fine condition of the cows the per
r centage of calves in the spring will b.
above any previous year. Along thu
Platte River for three weeks the mer
curry ranged SO to 70 above. TIL,
losses were insignificant, not exceed
ing one percent.
WINNIPEG. MAN, Feb. 49,
Ranchmen report a favorable win
ter, and the cattle coming through il
prime condition. The snow is fas
disappearing, and the outlook l.
good.
AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 13.-Tht
Treasurer of the Texas Live Stool
Association claims that cattle gener
. ally have wintered better than usual
, Recent specials sent out from tn
Texas Panhandle about the great de
struction of cattle, he says, are un
, true.
StOckmen report cattle In Montan,
in good condition. The snow is di,
, appearing, and the prospects for tn
year are very favorable.

The Forestry Question.

The Boston Advertiser summarizes
this important subject in an interest.
ing way as follows:
Figures do not engage attention
as they ought, because few people
have imagination enough to translate
them into the visible fact. But when
one is tobias we were told ten years
ago by the Agricultural Department
at Washington--that for the supply
Of railroad ties alone II, 900 acres were
stripped of wood in the
United States, we begin to ask how
much now goes in other directions.
ant how much is done to replace such
destruction.
"When we learn that in the city of
New York, as long ago as 1869, 1l3,
600 young evergreens were sold at
Christmas for Christmas trees, we
look httle further. Then we find
that 4,0N well-grown pine trees are
needed annually for the supply of
friction matches for this country
alone. Forthe single article of drum
sticks for boys drums the wood of
sc, 900 acres Of woodland is said to be
needed in Paris. The more nervous
of US could live without the drum
sticks. But our beggars cannot live
without friction matches. Nobody
wants to live without railroads, and
it would be hard if we had to substi
tute hot trees for evergreens in our
Christmas celebrations. More than
this, we do not want to be thrown
back on stone cottages like Shake
speare's. or like those of Connaught,
for our country homes. In brief. we
want wood, and enough wood. 1t is
not the business of the Forestry Con.
gress much to check the real use of
wood, but to promote its growth and
to save it from useless destruction.
"Yes, and why cannot the Fores-
try Congress leave this to dear old
Adam Smith, and the rule of supply
and demand? Simply because for.
ests require more time than one man
Is apt to care to consider 10 his specu-
latiOns. Wheat, oats, and barley are
ripe, and may be sold within a year.
Everybody. almost, expects to live a
year. But wood is hardly fit to cut,
on the average, in less than twenty
five years from the time of planting.
And experiment proves that there
are not so many men or women as
could he wished for who care to look
forward so far in their speculations.
1.-THE science Of forestry has been
carried much further on the Cont.
nent of Europe than in England or
America. The importance of the
subject has made it matter of legis.
lation even in the smaller German
States. They make it a matter profit
able to their exchequer. The king.
dom of Hanover, for instance, which
is not twice as large as the State. OF
Massachusetts, has 100000 acres OF
forests. This is about 100000 acres
more than we have, the number of
acres in woodland in Massachusetts,
ten years since, being 1915 Of the
$40, 900 acres in Hanover, 600, 900 be.
long to the State. In the care of these
forests the State pays annually $780,.
600. On the other hand, the Forest
Department receives annually for its
sales of timber and wood $1,000, 900.
so that the treasury of Hanover re-
ceives in one year the pretty profit of
$3.50, 900 from its forests.
