years thsn has been converted into
lumber. The forest fires that h,ve ragged
there have not only consumed Q
great number Of valuable trees
but they have done other damage
They have killed small trees and burned the
seeds from which trees origioase. They
have extended over farms, consumed crops.

iensive districts has been ruined. Psrss Of
Central Michigan and Northern Wisconsin,
where fires ragged few yesrs ago. now

VIII Mako a Good Officer.
Somerset Reporter

Probably the largest support ever given
to any one man for appointment by the
Governor for state office was that given
to Hon, Pascal 2. Gilmore Of Dedham for
the office Of state liquor commissioner.
His petitions and letters represented
over six Thousand names of citizens
of Maine. The eastern part Of the
State was very stror ely for him coming
very near solidity. Such men as
Hon. ]. S wheelwright, Hon. Henry
Lord. Hen John l.. Cutler were earnestly
fer him. Mr.. Gilmore 10 member of the
present State Senate. has served several
terms in the House Of Representatives at
Augusta. served with credit 10 the IL h
