PRESERVE THE SPRUCE.
Plea That Lumbermen are Denuding
Forests OF America.

New York, January 2i.-The A merioan
Newspaper Publishers association has
prepared a brief looking to the preserva-
ton of the forests, which will be presente
to the joint high commission for adjust
ment of questions between the United
States and Canada. Ii says that the
den udation of our forests by pulp mills
in the states of Maine. New Hampshire,
Vermont and New York Is progressing al
tn o rate of 100 square miles per annum.
The Oh lief of the bureau of forestry of
the department of agriculture calculates
that forest fires are causing AN anpual
loss of $50, DOC, 600. The latest records of
the geographical survey show that the low
water level OF our important lakes and
rivers has been declining steadily for the
last ten years, reaching their lowest point
In the year 1896 and that the decline of
the water level on Lakes Huron and
Michigan is especially noticeable. Many
lakes In the northwest have entirely dis.
appeared.
In consideration n the timber problem of
the country, spruce wood constitutes a
most important factor. There Is no avail.
able spruce in the United States, west of
New York except limited amount In
West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
In the state of Maine there are 40 tim

The SECOND DISTRICT.
Interesting Announcements Concerns
Gen. Hyde and Senator Bla nchard.
ESPECIAL 10 THE PREss.l

Augusta, January 24.-There were two
interesting announcements made here
today concerning the battle for the Re-
publican nomination in the second Con-
gressional district. One came early this
morning when Senator Cyrus NJ. Blan-
ohard of Franklin county, announced
himself as q candidate. Inlthe long list
of candidates, Mr. Blanchard has been
mentioned but always with the statement
that he should not be candidate against
Hon. J. O. Holman of Farm ington. MIR.
Blanchard says that he has received so
many letters from his constituents In the
past few days urging him to allow the
Use of his name that he has consented
He is the youngest aspirant of them all.
being only 30 and the youngest member
of the Senate. MIR. Blanchard's home is
in Wilton. He is a lawyer by profession
and has been SUCCESSFUL in his participa,
ton in the politics Of his section.
The other piece Of news regarding the
second district campaign Is that Gen,
Thomas W. Hyde of Bath will be candi-
date. Mr.. Hyde's name has appeared in
tuc uoiS oub ~ Au5 nlthcTto Occu
known what his attitude would be. To
day q prominent second district man said
that Gen. Hyde's name would 60 before
the convention. The news came from
Washington where Gen. Hyde Is now
stay ing with his family. The gentleman
who gave mo this intelligence said that
while he had not heard direct from Gen.
Hyde, the news came from source
which he regarded as authoritative.
Later, a Sagadahoo county man zorro.
borated this intelligence. He, too, be-
lieved that Gen. Hyde would be In it at
the finish. Should Gen. Hyde say that he
would accept the nomination there is no
doubt but that Sag&dahoo county, which
has not had congressman for forty
years, would solidly support him In the
convention. 1t is evident from the state
menss made here today that those near to
him believed that General Hyde will be
candidate but he has as yet made no on
nounoement Of the fact and very likely
has not fully determined on his course
His war re,ord, his success in building
up great industry and his personal
popularity combined with the claim of
sagadahoc to recognition would make
him formidable opponent to the other
ca ndidates for the nomination.
