Land Agent Ring was at the State
House yesterday and was much pleased
with the situation in which Maine
lumberlands and numbering is in today.
SO far as can be seen the outlook is
very good. When asked about the
driving OutlOoks by the Journal repre-
sentative Mr.. Ring said that they were
all coming along remarkably well. Not
Il log has been hung up SO far on the
PcnobScot and the same is equally true
of the kennebec and AndroScOggin
waters. What is even more encourage
ing to the lulnbermcn is the fact that
practically every log which was left
hcGinI lac hnn.lI1cn of lack of
water, has been brought along this
spring and Will be turned into the
booms along with those of the past
winters cut. And while all these logs
are sure to be brought into market this
summer they will cause no over supply,
which is a very rc-assuripS feature.
The heavy rains of this spring have
placed the timber lands in Il condition
which makes the danger of forest fires
practically nil. Before the possibilities
Of forest fires can become of any thing
like Il serious consideration in Maine
there be many weeks of drouth and dry
weather. The fire warden force has
been thoroughly organized and is in
| readiness to cope with any fire which
| may start, while the wooded sections
have been thoroughly posted with fire
notices sent out by the land agent.
So far there have been but two forest
fires reported this spring. one of these
was in Washington county and was the
| result of burning over the BURBERRY
lands, the other was in Somerset and Is
attributahl. to the porcupne bounty
law, as il started from hunters of these
| animals cndcavoring to smoke one oil
| the porcupincs out of Il tree.
Mr.. Ring has just returned from a
| trip to ArooSt0ok county and reports
| the crops in good condition and bust
ness as being flourishing. The acreage
which has been planted to potatoes is
very large, probably greater than even
| before. Farmers. one and all III

The nets were set at Il depth of from

What makes it difficult for the wardcns

is the fact that the work is always;

DEATH OF ANNA C. LAIRD.

Anna Christina Laird died at her
home in Eureka about 3:45 o'clock Fri
day afternoon, February 5. 1904. About
twelve days ago she took a severe cold
which in two days developed pneu-
monia and pleurisy. On Thursday her
condition was SO precarious that a on
sultation of physicians was held. which
resulted in an opinion of little hope for
her recovery. At 400 on Friday the
doctors prepared the family for the
worst, aud in a few hours her earthly
sufferings were ended.
Anna vas the eldest child and only
daughter of William Laird. She was
born at Ruby Hill, Eureka County. Ne
vada, July %. 1892. She was a bright
child and her lovable disposition mani
tested itself to everyone in her solicit
tude and kindly care for her two
younger brothers since the death
of her mother. The loss of wife and
daughter in the brief space of three
years has FRUSTRATED MI. Laird, who
has the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.

Judge Thomas Wren died at 1

Judge Wren's death was caused from
physical exhaustion following a pro-
longed battle with pneumonia, which
FRUSTRATED him about a month ago. He
showed excellent rallying power. de-
spite his years, at the onset of his ILL
ness and recovered sufficiently to be up
and around. His great ambition and
activeness exceeded his strength and
over-exertion brought on a relapse with
the consequent physical and ex-
haustion, which could not be overcome.
Thomas Wren was born at Macarthur,
Athens County, Ohio. January 2. 1926.
Being left an orphan at an early age.
his advantages of education were very
limited. He received but the rudiments
of a common school education, but early
developed a taste for reading and study,
which he retained through life. His
elf-education, aided by natural talents
peculiarly fitted him for the legal pro-
fession and enabled him to become n
of the leading lawyers in the State of
Nevada.
In 1850 he crossed the plains to Cali.
fornia and went to Ell Dorado County,
where for three years he followed min
ing. In 1854 he was appointed Deputy
Clerk of Ell Dorado County. his first ac-
tive participation in politics, though
from boyhood he took an interest in
politics. At the expiration of his term
of office he again engaged in mining,
dividing his time in the practice of law.
He came to Nevada during the Reese
River excitement in Lander County in
1868. Arriving at Austin. he soon sat
isfed himself that there were prospec-
tors enough in the district, and he en-
tered upon the practice of the law. In
lS64-5, he was City Attorney of Austin.
In 1873, Mr.. Wren came to Eureka.
Here he continued his profession with
great success. In 1874, he was elected
to the Nevada Assembly on the Re-
publican ticket, and in 1876 he was
elected to the Forty-ifth Congress. At
the expiration of his term of office he
returned to Eureka, resuming his law
practice, which he continued until
about three years ago. when he re-
moved to Reno. At the time Of his
death he was President Of the Rich
mond Mining Company of Eureka. A
wife and two children survive him.
