forests from fire is needed more than
anything else. Though most States
have some such legislation, but few
have satisfactory and effective laws.
and hardly any Of the machinery to put
them into practice. To provide such
machinery is the most important
point in all legislation.
A State law which will encourage
the holding of forest areas by town.
ships in counties, and their admins
tration under the direction of the
Forestry Commission or Commission.
ers, is highly desirable.
Next to such direct forest legisla-
ton much can be done indirectly, and
in this, the most important step is to
dispel ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as to the
technical value OF different timber,
and as to the value of forests in gen.
eral.
There still remains to be considered
in the matter of forestry legislation
the matter of direct encouragement
to tree planting. This is the last to
be attempted, and the most difficult
to devise and execute. A release
from taxatien or bounty to the ex-
tent OF few pennies, as some States
have enacted, is 10 encouragement.
Such must be of more substantial
character.
While little Prussia with q model
forest administration and largely
sat sfactory private forest manage
ment, being not larger than three
lourths the area of California, found
it advantageous last year to distribute
over 3S,O00,000 seedlings, (mostly
conifers) free Of charge, and 5000
pounds Of seed at nominal prices, the
Department Of Agriculture of these
United States, is not sufficiently en-
dowed to devote than perhaps $500 to
the same purpose, and for then entire
forestry interests of the nation it
spends about one-fifth of what little
Prussia appropriates for the purpose
of forestry schools and experiment
stations alone.
No wonder that in ten years Of for
estry investigations we have accom-
plished practically nothing. 1t cannot
be the pocket that dictates such mig
gardliness; it is the heart or lack Of
intelligence to deal more wisely with
this great interest.

 Roger Q. Mills sat alone at the New Haven
 House sitting room last evening at about
 half-past g.. His back was to the street, his
 face incliued to one side as he scanned under
 the light of the dancing gas jets the news
 from Washington in New York daily. A
 few prominent men of the city took peep
 at this distinguished Democrat as he thus
 Democratic party was thus unconsciously
 visible being quietly circulated about the
 hotel railways. MT. Mills keen, alert eyes
 ran swiftly up and down the columns, as he
 sought for the salient points that he wished to know in the news before him. MT. Mills
 had wearied look as might be ex- pected in the case of a man having such mass of tariff and free trade figures and debates to grapple with as it falls to the father of the Mills bill to tackle, to say nothing of making speeches in New Haven one day, in Boston the next, and back in New Haven the next, with 6 cons stant succession of greetings and receptions, of telegrams to respond to and railroad trains to catch. In an interview with COURIER reporter Mir. Mills said his visits to New Ha- ven of late were not his first, and that he had several times made trips into the New England States. He was evidently aVerse to talking on the tariff, and his views on that subject are sufficiently known to the newspa- per-reading public. He said his spare time spent here being mostly on Sunday did not permit him to see much of interest in New Haven, but he had taken drive about the town, which he had much enjoyed, and had time permitted he would probably have visited New Haven's East Rock Park Mr. Mills said: he was waiting for the Washington express, and would return di- rect to Washington.

 saith not, it not being visible. -Mr. Mills has a swift piercing glance, fine expressive cast of features, and on the whole Granger like appearance, with nothing of the dude, and has evidently a good deal of grit | directness and frankness begotten of
 Texas and Texan life. But he was evidently | anxious for the hours to speed until train | time should come and 8 half an hour before | had thrown himself on the leathern covered | sofa in Texan fashion and won short nap regardless of whether the constant succession 1 of passers-by on the sidewalk, to whom his reclining form was visible through the win | dows, were aware that he was Roger Q.

 Good Words for our Historical soci-
 ety.
 In reviewing the lately published volume of the papers of the Historical society the Narragansett Historical Register says: 'sThis admirable work contains several pa- pers of great historical value. It is pleas ure to note such things, as it shows that the society is alive. Both Connecticut and Mas sachusetts are to-day favored with historical societies that are source of great pride to the State they represent. Would that a like energy could be brought to Providence"
 Speaking of the two pamphters eommem- orating Founders day, the same magazine makes the following comment: "These very interesting historical pamphlets are sent us by the New Haven Colony Historical soci- ety. It is source of satisfaction to see such an interest manifested in local histori- cal matters. Such publications do a vast amount of good and are of lasting benefit A city that can boast of live society like the above is indeed fortunate"
