The Lumber Industry in Windham

The advanced price of lumber has
proved to be a great advantage to many
of our hill towns. The timber which in
former years has not paid for cutting is
now in great demand. \ stock company
has recently been formed in town known
as the Goodell Lumber company Of Wind
ham. The new company holds the timber
on more than 5000 acres of land. which
means millions of feet of timber and
work for large number of men. \. A.
Goodell. who is manager of the company
and one of the stockholders, is fair
sample of what a young man who stays
at home on the hill farm may accomplish
About four years ago Mr.. Goodell started
In the lumber business. Since that time
he has bought all of the land and timber
about $50 acres. Mr. Goodell's first part
nor was one of Windhams cnterprising
young men, +. y. Hastings, who was suf-
located in the sawdust at their mill dur
ing the first year of their mutual inter
ests, causing a financial loss to the bust
ness as well as the loss of good citizen
to the town About a year ago the mill
which they erected was burned, meaning
another heavy loss, but Mr.. Goodell' $
courage was good and he now tells us
that the new company will run two mills
and is ready to furnish employment to
100 woodsmen as fast as suitable help can
be obtained He wishes to give work to
such people as will be "a benefit to the
town. Mr. Goodcll has been the means of
bringing several good families into the
town by selling them farms on easy terms
and letting them work to make their pay
ments. We hope other families will
come until there is not a vacant farm in
town.

To Test the License Law.
Randolph Herald and News.

The first case to go up to supreme court
on the question of the laws alleged I'M
constitutionality and as to the procedure
under it comes from Orange county. The
grand jury indicted one A. p. Hazleton
of Bradford for violating the prohibitory
clause of the law, that is, selling liquor
without a license, and the indictment is
worded in substantially the same way as
If under the old law. Mr.. Hazleton has
demurred to the Indictment on the
ground that it does not charge the offense
with common law certainty, and also that
the law itself is unconstitutional. Under
the latter ground, it is claimed that the
law unjustly discriminates between GER
tain classes of people, and also that the
form of the referendum is unconstitu-
tional. These points will doubtless be

tention by the respondents counsel Hon.
