Last AlIegany Pines.

The last cIump of pine trees, the
rear guard of the virgin forest that
once covered the hills and valleys of
Allegany County, N. Y, four hundred
and ninety trees in all, have been
sold for 81, 500, probably the high
est price ever paid in the state for
that number of Pine trees on the
stump. The trees have been for many
years one of the sights of Southern
Allegany County and heretofore
Lucius and Ebenezar Norton, the
owners have refused to put price on
them.
The pines are on the hillside, in the
town of Scio, seven miles east of Boil
var. During the last winter one-third
OF the trees have been cut away and
the logs hauled to the mills at Bel
mont and Wellsville. In all, it is ex-
pected that the 400 trees will cut
100000 feet of lumber. The price
paid is over $15 tree. The largest
tree cut so far was over sixteen feet
in circumference at the butt and the
rings on the stump showed it to be
over 295 years old.
Clear pine lumber is now worth $40
for each 1000 feet. When the pio-
neers came to Allegany County their
greatest trouble was to get rid OF the
pine forest and to get the land clear
ed. The virgin pines were cut down,
rolled into heaps and burned. The
finest pine lands in the county for
years went begging for buyers at VI
an acre. That was before the canal
and the railroads came. During the
last three years, since the great Jump
in lumber prices went into effect,
every available piece of timber land
in the county has been bought by the
owners of portable mills and the lum-
Der marketed, so there is to-day very
little standing timber of any kind in
the county. The telegraph companies
have bought the chestnuts for poles
the railroads have bought the small
chestnut for fence posts and oak for
ties, and the hemlock has been cut
for lumber. In the oil producing dis.
trict lumber has to be shipped in and
even wood for fuel is becoming scarce
while the price of heavy timbers
for drillings rigs is advancing stead,

working up all the maple that the
forest worms did not destroy, and in
ten years the farmer will wake to the
fact that he must burn coal for fuel
because there will be nothing else to

Died at Enterprise, Dickinson Co.,
Kansas, on Monday, June 3, 1901,
Bessie A., wife of DR.. c. W. Brooks
formerly of Wolcott, VT, aged 40
years and IL months.
Mrs. Brooks will be remembered by
many friends in Lamoile county as
formerly Miss Bessie A. Calkins, who
was born and lived the early years of
her life in Hyde Park, VT, She was
educated at Peoples Academy in
Morrisville and afterwards taught In
the public schools in Hyde Park.
She was married to DR.. Brooks in
1875, and for some years afterward
resided at Wolcott. In 1880 they
removed to Dickinson county, Kan,
where they have resided since that
time. She suffered from lingering
illness which she endured with the
most patient fortitude to the end,
and although she had known for
some time that her recovery was i'm
possible, she looked death in the face
with that calm composure and resig-
nation which was characteristic of
her all her life in everything.
The funeral was held at her pleasant
home in Enterprise on Tuesday after
noon, June 4, and was attended by a
large gathering of neighbours and
friends who deeply loved her, and
the many floral designs and offerings
sent from societies and friends bore
testimony of the regard in which she
was held by all.
She has left a husband and two
sons who are heartbroken at the loss
of devoted wife and mother. A
brother and sister also survive her,
| Byron A. Calkins, formerly of Morris
vile now of Kansas City, Mo-, and
Mrs. Ellen j. Reed of Hutchinson, Kan,
who deeply mourn the loss of low
ing sister.
The following was clipped from the
Dickinson County News of June 6,
published at Abilene, Kans.:-

of Enterprise died late Monday afternoon

Sacred SONGS.

Bradford Campbell. Jesus he my
Saviour. For high voice in E fat. A
Gounodesque setting of touching
hymn, in which the voice parts much
enriched and adorned by the piano
accompaniment, while this in itself is
not hard. Most of the song lies in
comfortable range; extreme notes
are rarely used and then with insight
for vocalism. The rymth and tonal
idiom are natural and accustomed.
The prelude and interlude contribute
distinct impreseiveness to the vocal
result.
George B. Nevin. The Song OF
Eternity. Words by Frances V. Hub,
burd. For medium voice in c. &c to
e. so cents.
A sacred song with much tempo
and metric variety. There is a we'll
sustained and effective approach to
the climax. The stanza-divison af.
ford the voice rest through the use
of brief interludes. The piano admir-.
ably sustains the voice, offers much
rhythmic variety, and is interesting
ly and effectively enriched by chro
matics.
Walter GOold. AS Pants the Weari
ed Hart For high or medium voice
in E fat. so cents. A sacred song
comparatively simple and entirely
singable, effective for high voices but
optional notes here and there for the
average medium voice, which do not
interfere with the effect. Warm-heart
ed singers will make a good deal out
of this, and those of less fervent tenn
permanent will find it's melodyso obVi
GUS that they will be mellowed in style
of rendering. The middle part is nc
less lyrical. A moving climax is built
up on the last page. Just one ode
interval occurs near the close, but
when learned adds zest to the effect
The accompaniment is such as ii
practicable for the hand of the singer
if need be. P. 4-62,731 gives the
principal melody in it's return. This
song will prove pleasing In its class

Pan-AmeriCan Points.

Every visitor to the Pan-American
NExposition is more than pleased, and
even surprised at the wonderful dis
play provided by the Exposition
management.
Not only are the buildings beauti-
full in line and color, but the stupen-
dous electrical Examinations which at
night decorate the great structures
are most dazzling in effect.
From New England the lines of the
Boston 4 Maine are the most direct
to Buffalo. The service by this line
is not only the quickest, but is the
most complete and also the shortest.
The route through Northern Mas.
sachusetts known az the Hoosac
Tunnel or Deerfield Valley route ia
one of the most charming and pictur.
esque in the country, and the rate to
the Pan-American city or Niagara is
exceptionally low. For tourists from
Boston & Maine territory particu.
lar advantage is the absence of q
transfer across the city of Boston
for Buffalo trains depart from the
North Union Station.
The General Passenger Depart
ment of the Boston & Maine Rail
road, Boston, has gotten out an at
tractive illustrated pamphlet on thu
Pan-American Exposition, which il
sent free for the asking.
