THE OLDEST JUSTICE.

Justice Miller is generally ranked rs per,
hans the greatest jurist in the United
States He has been twenty-eight years
member of the Supreme Court, and has
served longer than any Of the justices now
on that bench. He is a strong partisan IN
notifies. and became thoroughly saturated
with Rcpublicanism while residing in the
Northwest. The only stain upon his ca
reer is his participation in the eight-to..
seven" business when he was member OF
the Electoral Commission that declared
Rutherford b. Hayes to have been elected
President of the United States.

The spruces of Lebanon.

The Portland Star Match Company has
bought large tract Of timber land in Leba-
non. The work of cutting the timber and
conveying 1t to its destination is under the
supervision of Roadmaster Morrill, of the
Portland & Rochester. A train goes to Leb
anon from Portland every Sunday morning
to be loaded with lumber. Fifty thousand
feet usually makes up the train load of 10
cars. 1t is estimated that ct the beginning
there were 100000 feet of lumber on the
lot. Hundreds of cords of firewood are also
being cut at the same point on the Portland
& Rochester and taken to Dover, N. H., a
train for that purpose being run from Leba-
non to Rochester and Men to Dover several
times each week. A large number Of the
Portland g. Rochester section hands are en-
gagged in cutting the wood and lumber.

AN OPEN WINTER.
VIII Be OF great Benefit to the Deer In
the Forests.

Fish and Game Commissioners Stillwell
and Stanley are in the city in attendance up
on court where there are several cases to
come up involving the game laws A report
er OF the PRESS called upon the gentlemen at
the Falmouth last evening and learned some
interesting facts in regard to the work of the
commission during the past year. 1t is now,
said Mr.. Stillwell. dull time in our work.
The time for the gathering and distribution
Of the fish eggs for Matching has not yet come
and the close time on game has just begun.
We have been very successful during the
past year in our work. The ponds are full
OF fish, much more so than we expected and
the deer are multiplying In the woods not
outstanding the fact that everybody who
went to the woods after deer got what he
went after. or moose there is not so good a
report. Every one who goes to the woods
goes with the desire of killing moose and
as they are not so prolific as the deer are,
they are being gradually exterminated.
What do you think is the cause of the great
abundance OF deer? asked the reporter.
Wen, replied Mr.. Stillwell, deer are plentiful
in the great wilderness to the north AID east
and as soon as one is killed another comes in
to take his place. Then the open winter has
great deal to do with the matter. The
deer can run about in the woods and browse
as much as they like so far, without any
trouble at all and Of course that helps the
matter Then the absence of snow puts an
end to crust-hunting. which is cruel and
wholesale method of destroying the deer.
In regard to the future plans of the commits
ssioners M. StillwelI said that no new de-
partures were contemplated. The work
would go on in the same line that it now
does.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
Concerning the Freezing OF the
Maine Rivers.

Mr.. ID. w. Clark OF the Clark g. Chaplin
Ice Company, has in his pos session some in
teresting figures concerning the open win
tiers and the close winters for long series of
years. He has table of dates from 1855 to
the present time showing the time of closing
and opening Of the Kennebec. The earliest
date on which the river ever froze is Novem-
Der 16. On three years ice formed thus early.
In 1903, 1920 and 1928. On "a years the river
closed during the month of November, aver
aging about the Goth. On nine years it did
not freeze up to stay frozen until the first
half of January. although short nips took
place earlier, succeeded by warm spell that
carried the Ice out again. In 1S30-31 the
river did not close to stay closed until the
18th of January. The ice went out again on
the 30th Of March, so that the season during
which the river was closed for vessels was 70
days In length. This is the shortest season
en- record with the exception of that Of 1866
when the ice formed on the End of January
and went out on March 10. The season of
1901 was IS days long. The general run
of seasons has been from IS to 142 days.
The Penobscot river has. since 1918, al
ways frozen over in November or December,
with the exception of 1S3O-S1, when it did not
close until the 9th of January. The earliest
date is November II, in 1871. and 10 1866,
1867 and 1878 the date was November
%. These dates are not intended to give ac-
counts Of short nips, when the river would
be frozen over for day or two and then
thawed again, or for times like the present
when portions only were frozen. but of actual
ice from the Augusta dam clear down to
Bath.
The present year 1t will be seen is the
most open for the Kennebec with one excep-
tion, the river now being open to Gardiner,
although from the 3rd to the 9th of Decem-
Der, and again from the 18th to the 2lst 1t
was frozen over further down.
The state of the rivers is not such as to
cause serious alarm amongst ice dealers as
taking the record of the past as standard
good Ice can be expected until well along in
to April. On one year the ice did not 60 out
to stay until the 9th of Nav.
