WITH THE WOODMEN.

The forests of California are among the
wonders OF the world, and the lumber industries
they give rise TO are among the most important
Oh the coast.
The chief growth is the redwood, which
yields so enormously that the State Board
of Forestry estimates that redwood forests
comprise half the timber in California, and
this though the redwood is confined TO the
coast. while the area OF timber lands in the In
terror is many times more than that on the
coast.
Other trees used In the lumber trade are
sugar pines, often found 8 feet in diameter
and OF immense height without flaw; willow,
cottonwood. sycamore. oaks of all kind Qnclud-
ing chestnut k, whose bark tans the famed

the sides of the tree, which makes elegant

NAUGATUCK, May 4.-One of our
newly elected burgesses, who says that
he has read the borough act, claims that
the town hall and the fire department
property become the property of the
borough under their charge We do not
construe the charter in that way. The
borough will have to rent from the
town the use of what offices they may
need in the town hall building. As re-
CARDS the fire department property, it
will require some action on the part of
the town to transfer it to the borough,
should they sac fit to use it, or they can
put up new buildings, buy new appara-
tus and organize an entirely new de-
partment, leaving the town to dispose
their property to the best advantage
possible. A sale Of the property or a
lease at a nominal figure will probably
be the means of transfer.

THE EXCITEMENT KILLED HIM.

THE EXCITEMENT KILLED HIM.
Balky Horse and Dies In q Few
Minutes.
James s. Cowan. driver for the Wa
terbury Lumber & Coal Co, was hauling
"a load of lumber up Washington avenue
to the Third Congregational church
about 1915 this morning. When near
the junction of Lawrence street his
horse began to balk and continued to
act ugly for several minutes. Mr.
Cowan finally succeeded in turning into
Lawrence street, evidently for the pur-
pose of keeping the loaded wagon from
backing down the hill. 1t is thought
that he became overcome by the excite
ment, for as soon as he had got off
Washington avenue his head was
noticed to drop heavily on his breast.
Thomas Condor, John Murnane and
Louis Rousseau were looking on at the
time and they hastily got on the wagon
to render what assistance they could.
The man was gasping hard for breath,
and they took him from the seat and
laid him on the lumber in the wagon,
where he died in few minutes. Medi-
cal Examiner North was summoned
and gave permission to have the body
removed. 1t was placed in Undertaken
York's ambulance and conveyed to his
home, 65 High street. The deceased
leaves wife and three children. He
was sixty-five years old and had en-
joyed the best of health until this

Four very brilliant crooks adopted a
scheme by which they might get exceed
ingly rich. The game, when successfully
played, ran as follows: Along some coun-
try road leading through a fairly prosper
Gus district a well dressed gentleman
would drive. At every well to do looking
farmhouse he would stop for drink, en-
ter into conversation telling of anxiety to
buy land fer agricultural purposes and
finally in a roundabout manner wind up
by either giving or selling for almost moth
ing 2-pound box of really superb fine cut
chewing and smoking tobacco. Then he
left. Several weeks later the second of the
quartette happens to be going the same
route. He, however, is selling fruit trees
the captious agent of some plant nursery.
In his desire 10 sell he visits the identical
farmhouses and spends an honr or so in
argument. To curry favor he winds up by
buying pound of the farmers most eX-
cellent tobacco at an eXorbitant rate.
a week later came government officer
in blue-a striking looking government
detective. He has found out that this farm
er is selling tobacco without a license and
holds as proof the identical tobacco. Let
tiers with great seals and red tape, and much
correspondence ensues. All the delinquent
farmers are gathered together and n money
compromise accepted instead of the much
feared government prosecution and peni-
