pose OF securingthe patronage of all political

Governor Black visited the Adirondack
woods getting information in support of his
plan 10 acquire land within the limits of the
proposed State park.
The proposition of the Governor to con-
denim such lands as the State needs, instead
OF buying it at prices fixed by the owners,
which are always exorbitant, is receiving
widespread attention.
Heretofore the land owners and lumber
kings have had their own way with the
woods. They have controlled Legislature,
land boards and forest commissions The
last great purchase made by the State was
from DR.. Seward Webb, of 7 5000 acres at So
m acre. and to DR.. Webb was given the
privilege of cutting the soft timber. As the
State wants several million acres such a price
would he prohibitiye.
As the purchases are in the interest Of pub
lie heath the Governor think the State can
condemn. His bill will be fought by the men
who have enriched themselves out Of the
woods at the expense of the State.

DENTS AND DRINK.
The Quarterly journal Of Inebriety says:
"Recently, II great railroad corporation
gathered all the facts concerning thSmen
and the conditions Of every accident which
had occurred on its lines for five years.
When tabulated, it appeared that forty per
cent. OF all accidents were due altogether, or
in part, to the failures of men who were
drinking; that in eighteen per cent. there
was strong suspicion Of similar causes, yet
no clear proof. III one year over a million
dollars worth Of property was destroyed by
the failures Of b]eer-drinking engineers and
switchmen. Tue company's rules requiring
temperate men for MI positions are more
and more vigorously enforced. Engineers
find that practically they are unable to do
good work while using spirits oven in small
doses. The GOODNESS and presence Of mind
50 essential in their work is broken up by
alcohol in any form.
~"TrIinmen, men exposed TO the weather,
reach the same conclusion, il they ara prae-

men is referable in Ina0y cases to the use OF

would not procure intoxicating drinks at
