This IS written in midi October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading

Notwithstanding the fact that the
forests of Connecticut have, in the last
10 years, been very largely denuded
of chestnut timber for railroad and
trolley ties, those in the lumber and
railroad business pIofess to feel no
great anxiety as to the future supply.
1t is said that the great forests of
Michigan have become SO depleted that
railroad ties are now brought from
Kentucky and lumber for the
manufacture of furniture is
imported from Canada. At a recent
meeting at Lansing the statement
was made that Michigan had made
more men rich from her forests thar
any other state in the Union, and hat
done as little as, if not less than, any
other state toward replacing those
forests. The national forestry bureau
which has been investigating the con
ditiOns in northern Michigan, recon
mends forestry legislation at the mex
session of the Legislature and ar

Danbury spent $1,000 for removing
snow and opening roads, last week,
while the local expense for the same
work was less than 800. There has
been lot of money wasted in the
small towns and cities in this kind of
work in recent years, butlthe taxpayers
are getting reused up all around. The
sum of $1,000 may be a modest amount
for Danbury to spend but Newtown's
showing we consider highly creditable
to Selectman Morris, who has some
thing more than 400 miles of road in
his large rural parish to keep in repair.
The small cities, as we'll as the country
towns, need a revival of genuine pub

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.
AS illustrating the downward ten
dency of farms in cash value during
the last IS years, the editor came across
an interesting case the other day. 1t
is Litchfield county farm and 30
years ago it sold for $1,000. Fifteen
years ago it sold for 81, 800. A year ago
it was bought for s775 and within the
month it has been sold for an even
81, 900. The farm in question COM
prises nearly IT'S acres and has fair
buildings on it. This is undoubtedly
an exceptional case but it illustrates
the decline in values in the hill-towns
remote from the large centers of pop
ulation.
A good friend from Easton sends
this kindly and appreciative note:
An 'ink DROP from the editorial
| pen in last weeks issue helped to &C
centuate the respect which BEE read
ers have long felt for the outspoken
words which often appear from the
same source, in the interests of right,
whether at home or abroad.
| There seems to be an appreciable
falling off in the payment of dues on
the part of patrons of the Newtown
Library Association. Quite number
of patrons seem to have overlooked
this important little duty. Let every
public spirited citizen come forward
and pay his 81, even if he does not use
the library to any large extent.
