them. The endeavor has u noble ring

FIVE HUNDRED MILLION feet of logs
are cut in the State of Maine annually.
The name, Pine Tree State, was nc
CURED years ago. but Spruce Tree
State would 10Y be more appropriate.
Although there are millions of pine
yet standing, the palmy days of that
tree, in a commercial sense, long since
departed, and the spruce, prolific and
hardy, is the mainstay of the lumber
trade. Whatever the case may he in
other States, Maine has nothing to fear
from the d%enudation of her uplands.
The spruce is q prolific tree, renewing
its growth in a few years. thus filling
up the gaps made by the lumberman's
AK, and soon producing a second growth
or aftermath. Many townships on the
Penobscot have been numbered ove
twice and some three times, while in
Hancock County there is more timber
standing to-day than there was twenty
years ago.

Buenos Ayres for home United States
Minister Hannaiwrote a short report 10
the state department on immigration into

settling from all countries of Europe
and n great number of arrivals are COM
ing. They were generally assisted by the
Argentine government to the extent at
least of having their passages paid from
the starting point to their destination in
the interior.
The amount thus paid In March is esti-
mated 81, 900, 600 or at the rate of $40,
600, 900 a year. Already this vast influx,
the minister says, is beginning to tell on
the export of corn. Last year the coun-
try shipped 445. 900 tons of corn and this
year it will go above 1000, 900 tons. Mr..
Hanna further says: IN the vast feet

fatigable territorial engineer has returned
from a hasty visit to the Lander valley
where he was called in the matter of the
Granier hydraulic mining plant which
has interferred with ~irrigators by main.
tanning a lake from a stream thirteen
miles distant. Mr.. Mead made no de-
%cision, suggesting that the adjudication
be referred to Judge Corn. who will hold
an extra session for that purpose on his
return from Yellowstone Park.
Mr.. Mead remained but a little while
in that region on account of the smoke
from forest fires which filed the air with
an UNPLEASANT odor and obscured the
vision, one being unable to see more than
a mile.
The territorial engineer thinks the
Lander valley a magnificent agricultural
region with grand possibilities. The
acreage of wheat and other small grains
is unusually large and crops will be good.
Mr.. Mead brought back specimens of
timothy hay grown at an elevation of TO-

TORONTO, Aug. Ga special from
Otowa to the Empire, government or
gan. says: There was considerable chuck
ling here at the news from Victoria of the
safe arrival there of the sealer Black
Diamond, although there is naturally
much resentment still existent at the out
rageous conduct of Capt. Shepard in
forcibly boarding the vessel and breaking
the ships lockers. Shepard's action
and that of his government affords a very
remarkable contrast to the treatment ex-
tended the United States fishing vessels
that have been seized or detained Tor
transgressing the Canadian fishing laws
Of the Atlantic.
Apart altogether from the recent seizure
the conduct of Capt. Shepard must OF
necessity engage the most serious atten-
ton OF the home government. In this
case, a vesse, having the British register
and flying the Baitish flag, is boarded on
the high seas and iorcibly searched.
Under these circumstances it is surely due
to British vessels pursuing a legitimate
calling that the imperial government
should without further procrastination
take prompt and decisive measures to
protect it's m beyond its territorial
waters from the United States or any
other country.
