TIMBER CUTTING METHODS.

TIMBER CUTTING ME- HOOS.
Some people have an idea that expert
forestry means merely leaving forests
standing to take care of themselves, but
as matter of fact under the improved
methods in vogue in Germany and in
some parts of great Britain, the forests
furnish more wood and lumber per acre
in the course of hundred years than
they ever would under the rockies s
American methods. In this country
when the timber on piece of land is
cut everything standing is cut or broken
down, leaving the land denuded or COW
cred with brush and jungle and exposed
to fires. In Germany, where the forests
are under government control, forester
goes over section at stated intervals
and marks the trees ready tn be cut and
thew are taken out with Just as little
! injury t. the other growth "a possible,
and in this way the land is always cover
ed with heavy and vigorous growth
and at the same time furnishes a regular
and reliable income. Millions of dollar:
are wasted every year In this country by
cutting methods employed. Barre Times

THE MAYORS COURT


The mayor has inaugurated new
deal and it is taking some OF the VIC
lators of the law on surprise. Here
after they will quit coming up with
q pocketbook stuffed with the green
stuff Won at the fascinating game Of
craps with the expectation OF paying
their fines and going their way re-
jcicing with the intention Of repeat
ing the performance. The mayor
has shut down on that by imposing
q fine of thirty days on the streets
and not allowing them to pay their
fines in dollars and cents. This was
the case this morning and the three
yiolators of the law who were tried
this morning and sent to the streets
thought it was powerfully hard that
they had to work when at the same
time they bad money, it is presumed
to pay their fines, but they had to &c
out into the beautiful though hot
sunshine just the same.
Here they are, all for false pre-
lenses: Ed Lewis, Munk Rogers
and VIII Smith, all sent up for Thirty
days and required to pay the costs
VIII also had another charge against
him, that of petit larceny, fol
which he was assessed another
thirty days. The streets need work
and as there were but four hands OF
them the mayor concluded thai
these four needed help as well e;
company so he put on these three
making seven in all.

1.-THE city has any available funds
the Progress would urge it 70 make a
brick cover or something Of the kind
over the bitches on either side oE
Main street in the business portion Of
the city. These bitches during this
warm weather send out an odor that
would knock COW down II the cows
did not have too much sense to go
near them. From the corner OF Capt.
Georges to the Kiondyke it is terri
bic and on the other side Of the street
it is no better. It IS only during big
rains that these bitches are ever
flushed, only to fill again with de-
caded matter, and the odor arising
therefrom is dangerous to the health
OF the city. II, therefore, the city
has any spare money, enough to buy
the brick, it should have the work
done by the street hands at once and
abate the nuisance which is a men
ace to Me health of the city.

get their heads together and organize

should be invested with tbs power
and authority to create park fund

park somewhere out from the bust
ness portion of the city where the
young folks could go these beautiful
moonlight nights5or at other times
and enjoy themselves. A large and
nice pavilion should be erected and
occasionally have sweet music by one
of the bands in Hattiesburg. The
bands here do not make any other

an opportunity to dance, also those
inclin ed to sit in the corner and read

where the young people can amuse
or enjoy themselves. The young

without such an organization has not

whether this fact is to be taken as

reflection on the journalistic contem-

THE following dispatch of Sunday,
from South Africa, seems to indicate
that just as the Beers knew how to
fight while they were fighting, they
are just as earnest about making peace
now that there is no longer any hope
OF a successful continuance of the
struggle:
The appearance Of General DeWet at
the camp at Winburg was the signal
for a great display Of enthusiasm.
When he arrived at the camp, General
DeWet was at once surrounded by
thousands of Boer men, women and
children, who struggled and clamored
to shake the hand of the hero. General
DeWet mounted a table and delivered
an address. He warmly applauded the
staunch support that the women had
given the burghers during the war,
which, he said, had greatly encour-
aged the men in the field. Continuing,
General DeWet, recommended his hear
ers to be loyal to the new government
and said: perhaps it is hard for you
to hear this from my mouth, but God
has decided thus. fought until there
was no more hope Of upholding our
cause, and however bitter it may be,
the time has come to lay down our
arms. AS a Christian people, God now
demands that we be faithful to our
government. Let us submit to His de-
cision."

NOTWITHSTANDING the refusal of the
state convention to take action on the
subject, we do not see where there
could be any reasonable objection to
the plan Of allowing each county to fix
for itself the matter Of qualification to
vote in the primary. The idea of con-
ferring the right to vote in the pri-
mary to regularly qualified voters
seems sound. At any rate, it is grow
ing, and something ought to be done
about it. A primary nomination is vir-
tually an election, and to say an unreg-
istered citizen can vote in a primary
that is really important and not vote in
a general election that is matter OF
little consequence, seems to argue that
after all registration is hardly neces-
sary. AS the situation stands through
out this section at this time, unregis-
tered voters have the balance of power.
and on it's face this is wrong. Some
definite action should be taken along
this line.
