KICKING TREES.
Lumbermen Must Know Them and Know
HOW to Keep from Being Kicked.

How to Keep from Being Kicked.
Very few who have ever witnessed
the method of numbering in the Maine
forests realize the danger, with its ac-
companying fascination. the hard, rug
ged work with its health giving results,
or the enioyments to be found in camp
life in the solitary woods, miles from
civilization.
The danger from flying limbs or
kicking" tree as 1t falls, lodges, or
strikes upon stump or across log,
and swings around or flies back with
terrific force, is not noticed by the lum-
bermen If they are lucky enough to
dodge successfully. Another danger
that people little realize is that OF the
teamsters who haul the logs from The
stump to the main road Much OF the
timber is cut on the mountain sides,
which are SO steep that a horse team
can scarcely climb up. AT the top, logs
measuring from 80 to so feet in length
are loaded upon one sled and are
dragged down the mountain. In places
the road goes down so steep that the
Shuo vi tlS IObo uiC dDpNS N'S
hips. The logs with the sled tip down,
and away they go down the mountain
as fast as the horses can go, with the
teamster hanging to the reins and
keeping his balance upon the logs as
they thrash and roll around beneath MS
feet. Occasionally the teamster emits
a terrific yell that would put Conan
che Indian to shame, to warn his
brother teamsters that he is coming,
so they can get out of the way. They
drive into a turnout, and the Loaded
team spins past them. 1t is seldom
horse loses his footing; If he does
the team is sluiced down the mountain.
Occasionally they go against tree,
and sometimes both of the horses are
killed, but they generally come out all
right, with few scratches.

Suffering in Alaska.

Terrible news Of destitution and suf-
fering from cold and hunger sifts south
ward from the Alaskan gold fields. The
rigors of the Arctic weather make gold
hunting among the Alaskan glaciers
probably the most hazardous quest in
which miners can engage. The coast
landing places are overrun with ven
turesome spirits in search of fortunes.
many of whom are either untitled for
the physical hardships they must en-
dure or ignorant of the risks involved.
The story of their troubles is most pitt
full. At last accounts potatoes were
selling in some of the mining regions
for $100 sack.

COUNTY OFFICIALS,
Who Look After the Veal of
jefferson County.
An Honorable Body of Men Well
Equipped to Perform Their
Duties.

Theexeellent condition of the pub
lie buildings, public highways,
finances, etc, in Jefferson county, is
evidence that those who have been
entrusted with the responsibility of
looking after these matters in the
past have done their work well, This
statement does not imply that there
is no room for improvement in the
future, but it means to say emphat-
ieally that Jefferson county IS
abreast of any other in the State in
that respect, and has been on the
whole well governed. This is mat
ter in which citizens have a strong
interest. Naturally they should
feel Inundated by bad administra-
ton of county affairs, and on the
other hand should feel a natural
pride in the knowledge that ability,
economy and wisdom have charac-
terized their public officers.
The men who at present admins
ter affairs are all competent and
conscientious III the performance of
their duties. No county in the
State can claim better officials.
