Pennsylvania Forest Policy.

Another important step forward in
the established forest policy of the
state of Pennsylvania was taken by
the Governor when he recently APP
pointed the Forest Reservation Com
mission under the Act of 1897. He
named as members of this commits
sion Prof. ]. L. Rothrock. the State
Forestry Commissioners; Major I. b.
Brown Deputy Secretary of Internal
Affairs: Dr. George G. Croft, Presl-
dent of the State Board of Health
and Albert Lewis, of Bear Creek, Lu-
zerne county. Another member is yet
to be chosen under the act He must
he Il lawyer and conveyancer, and it is
understood the Governor has selected
ii man for the place
The commission will fix and report
on three state forest reservations Of
10000 acres each Mt the headwaters
of the three chief waters. the Della
ware. Susquehanna and Ohio. The act
provides that the land selected shall
have no agricultural or mineral value,
and the condemnation proceedings will
he similar to those pursued in securing
Valley Forge Park.
The reservations must have some
woodland, and be at least 800 feet
above sea level.

1t is not sufficient to say that the trav-
eler accepts a contract in purchasing his
"non-transferable" ticket. Such a con-
tract invalidates itself. The transporta-
ton of John Smith will cause the rail-
road no more effort than a like service
performed for Tom Brown; and if the
latter chooses to sell his ticket to the
former, why should the railroad be per-
mltted to refuse to deliver the transport
tation for which it once has been paidY
so far as the laws of Vermont are con-
cerned, the railway corporations are
given carte blanche in a blanket law
which says that such corporations can
fix their own rates for conveyance land
may regulate such conveyance and trans
portation, the weight of loads, and other
thingsiin relation to the use of the road,
as the directors determine" From which
it appears that in this state they have
what may tersely be termed a "snap =
1t is only at the infrequent intervals
when some patron of railroad remem-
bers his constitutional rights and calls
upon the fundamental laws of the land,
as Mr. Holden has done, that the rail-
roads find themselves "up against it,,
as the term goes. As a matter of fact,
much of the legislation in favor of such
corporations, and still more in of their
homemade rules and regulations for
patrons, will not stand scrutiny in the
light of the constitution. They are used
principally as a bugaboo, and when the
victim fails properly to "scare' and APP
peals to a competent tribunal, the fact is
made manifest.

RAILROADS AS LAW. MAKERS.

Last winter the Rutland railroad began
issuing a mileage book which requires
the purchaser to sign his name in the
presence of the conductor whenever he
uses the mileage. d. F. Holden of
Hardwick secure a book and refused to
give his name when demanded so to do,
but stated to the conductor that the name
entered in the book for identification was
not his own. WhereupOn the conductor
demanded cash fare, which Holden de-
clined to pay. He was arrested at Ben
nington and brought back to Rutland,
where he was fined in Justices court.
He Immediately appealed the case and
the higher court has Just reversed the de-
csion. Mr.. Holden now promises to be-
gin proceedings for damages.
The Rutland road, it is only fair to
state, does not stand alone in the use of
this class of mileage books, though they
are less frequently met in the east
than in the west.
Let US resolve this matter into its
way corporations stand. They are bust
ness institutions whose stock in trade is
transportation. They set certain price
on the transportation and invite purchas-
ers to buy. When once they have sold,
say one hundred miles of transportation,
by all the laws of barter that transporta.
ton should become the property of the
purchaser to do with as he pleases. Yet
state laws permit railways to dictate tc
the purchaser what he shall do with hi;
own. He can not dispose of it to an
other, if the railroad tells him it is mon
transferable. If he cannot use it him
self, its price becomes a dead loss to him
for the railway company will not refund
the purchase money. In fact the corpo
ration is permitted to hedge itself abou
with rules and restrictions the sole ain
of which appears to be to deliver as little
of what it is paid for as possible Thi

CAROLINE ISLANDS.
POSSESSIONS OF SPAIN WHERE PER
PETUAL SUMNER RElGNS.

They Stretch About 1000 Miles From East
to West - Thermometer Rarely Goes
Above 90 Degrees-The Natives Are Semi
Savages and Warlike.
If the United States should obtain
control of the Philippine Islands, it
would then be only question of a
short while until the Caroline Islands
pass into American rule. The Caroline
Islands over which Spain now holds
sovereignty, stretch about 1000 miles
from east to west, and though near to
the equator, and in a climate of per-
petual summer, the thermometer
ranges from IA degrees to 81 degrees
through the year. Within the group
there are five islands, of basaltic form
alton, some of them having high noun
tains from 1000 to 1900 feet high.
These are Kusaie, Ponape, Ruk zap,
and Pelew Kusaic and Ponape have
been called the Gems of the Pacific"
For over thirty years the micronesian
mission has flourished in the islands,

The tiremen's tournament at Mid
dlebury did not attract a very large
number of people. As an evidence of
the small crowd present we need but
simply refer to the fact that two men
with load of beer were here Friday
trying TO dispose of the same. They
claimed that one man had made up 20
gallons of ice cream, to be sold at the
tournament, and succeeded in finding
customers for two dishes. The tourna-
ment should have been held in Bristol or

Well Known Hotel Man Tells What
Hoods SarsaparlIIa Has Done.

William f. Davis is the owner of
beautiful farm in Chelsea, Vt.
During the summer months he holds
the position of steward at the Profile
House, Franconia Notch, N. H., and
in winte is steward of the st. James
Hotel, Jacksonville, Florida. He says:
"My wife had a severe attack of rheu-
matte fever. Her feet and ankles were
terribly swollen and she suffered intense
pain. We knew about the merits of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and she concluded
she would try it. The first effect of the
medicine was to increase her appetite and
she soon had more strength. Then the
swelling in her feet and ankles began to
diminish and the pain gradually left her.
She kept on taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
until she was completely cured. She has
had no symptoms of rheumatism since"
