THE MAINE WOODS.
How Government Exports viii Study
Them.

How Government Experts win Study
Them.
Here are the lines of investigation
which will be followed during the COM
ing summer by the forestry experts of
the United States government who will
work in the Maine woods in conjunc-
ton with our State department of for
estry. The plan of work was outlined
by Forest Commissioner Ring and Gift
ford Pinchot, head of the national bu-
reau of forestry, during their recent
conference in Washington.
First-Characteristic features of To-
cality, altitude, topography, soil.
Second-General conditions of the
season of the year, of the ground
cover and of the soil, just before the
fire.
Fourth-Origin, accidental or inten-
tional.
Fifth-Progress of the fire, condition
of the weather, time of day, etc.
Sixth Property destroyed-kinds
and value.
Seventh-Forest products destroyed
to include logs, pulp wood, shingles,
etc.
Eighth-Owners sustaining losses.
Ninth-Special conditions leading to
the fire.
Eleventh-Methodo of fighting fire and
the cost.
Twelfth-Tables showing loss and
gain.
Fourteenth - Conditions following
fire, condition of ground cover, kinds
and number of trees that survive, char
acter of reproduction. This study to
be made Oh areas burned over at differ
ent years in the past,
Fifteenth-Etfects of fire on different
types of virgin timber.
Sixteenth-Effects of fire on cut-over
land.
The U. S. government will send a
corps of at least six experts, not stu
dents, here, who will come in June and
work under the direction of the State
forestry commissioner, continuing
through the season. They will visit
every section of the wild land region,
covering fires of half a century ago up
to the present time. The United States
department is very anxious to secure
the enactment of a uniform forest fire
law throughout the country, so as to
give the best protection possible, and
the work here this season will have this
object in view.

What Japan Demanded of Russia.

There has been much speculation as
to what constituted the demands Of
Japan from Russia Briefly: AS to
Korea, an absolutely free hand and a
rigid observance by Russia of her treaty
obligations. AS to Manchuria, Japan
insists upon the practical evacuation Of
the Chinese territory by the Russian
troops, the limiting to a defined number
of the railway guards, and of their
sphere of action: the absolute return Of
full Chinese authority over all the towns
and districts of Manchuria, especially
Newchwang: the opening of Manchuria
to the trade of the world on the same
terms as prevail i'll China, and the right
of Japan or any other country to build
railways in Manchuria. The last con-
dition relates more especially to the
linking up of the Japanese lines in
Korea with the North Chinese system
by line from Win to Newchwang.
The right of Japan and other powers to
appoint consuls to Moukden and other
Manchurian towns, follows from the
resumption by the Chinese of full ad-
illustrative authority over the coun-
try. To those who think the japanese
have asked too much in making these
demands, a study of RECEIPT Russian
promises to America and other nations
may be recommended.

MAINE NEWS ITEMS.

Mrs. Thomas B. Reed has commits
stoned a New York artist to paint a
portrait of the late Maine statesman
to be placed in the Capitol at Augusta.
All the Maine men who were volun
teers during the war with Spain, and
who were honorably discharged, are to
be given handsomely engraved testi-
monials or certificates, similar in de-
sign to those presented to the sons of
the civil war.
Charles Z. Bicknell of Rockland has
the contract for erecting the new sar-
dine factory at Port Clyde, and will be-
gin work at once. The factory is to be
l00x35 feet in size and two stories high.
1t will be divided into eight separate
departments. The cost of the building
will be about $4,000 and the contract
calls for its completion by the middle
of April.
The teams are beginning to come out
of the woods. Years ago this would
seem early, but in recent years most of
the crews go the camps early in Sep
TENDER and the latter part of August
and therefore return earlier in the
spring. As matter of fact about all
the yarding is now done on bare ground.

The CHICAGO lHou'RY.

I'HE INQUIRY into the causes Of the
1 Iroquois theatre disaster is rap
idly developing the fact that. instead OF
every precaution being taken 10 insure
the safety of patrons. no precautions
at all were taken. The slzylight in the
stage roof. which should have been ar
ranged so that it could be raised east
Is. was fastened as tightly as it could
D. fastened; the numerous exits Of
which so many boasts have been made,
were all closed and securely locked;
the asbestos curtain burned like so
much canvas; indeed, It may have been
canvas.
There are other narrowing instances
of omission Of reasonable precautions
and neglect Of plain duty. Many Of the
theatre employees lost their heads and,
instead OF remaining at their posts. ac-
tuauy contributed to the panic that
caused the loss of nearly 600 lives. And
III the face Of all this we are told that
the state must prove that certain in
Gividuals met their death in certain
places in the building before cases OF
criminal neglect sufficient to warrant
court procedures can be made out, or
even instituted.
There is something wrong about such
a law. It has been said that the own
ers. managers and employees Of the Iro-
quois theatre feel very keenly the hor-
ror of the catastrophe. No doubt they
do. No words could express their sor-
row and regret. But this does not re-
lieve them from the responsibility
which has been laid at their doors. The
people of Chicago. those who lost
no friends or relatives in the fire. as
well as those who were bereayed, viii
demand that justice be done. And
justice viii not be done until The indi-
vidual or individuals who are most
guilty are placed behind prison bars.
we hardly believe the prosecutions
should end with people directly con-
nected with the theatre, either. Since
tsie 1rs it has developed that not a
singie theatre in Chicago has complied
with all the requirements Of the law
governing the erection and mainte-
rance OF such places. It is absurd t
say the building inspectors and their
employees did not know the law was
being violated. They did know it al
laest beyond question. if they didn't
they had no business being where they
were And Il they did they should be
prosecuted. for officials are not wink
ing at law violations unless there is IN
clean money in 1t FOR them.
The disaster and the investigation
have had the effect OF making authori-
flies Of other cities look more closely
after the enforcement of the building
laws. They propose TO prevent, If pos
slhls, a repetition OF the Chicago hor-
