Christmas tree cutters is almost crimi-
nal. Hundreds of thousands are yearly
sent to the cities. They are shipped
by carloads This practice, in an i'm

of the folly and imprudence that has
long prevailed in the State respecting
its woodlands, or prospective forests.
1t is deplorable, but it is one of the
characteristics of republican form of
government that this waste cannot
be be controlled, that it must 60 on
