BOAT OWNERS.
Protesting Against Bill to Regulate Small Power
 Boats.

Washington, Feb. 17.--Protests are being received by the dozen from pow CT boat owners in Connecticut against the bill to further regulate small boats of all kinds. The bill proposes to place all power boats under the same rules and regulations, which would practi- cally compel them to use pilots and engineers, no matter how small the boat may be.

 A hearing will be held on the bill on the 18th of this month. The New York Yacht club and the Atlantic Yacht club have appointed committees to appear against the bill at this hear ing. ,..as

The resolutions set forth that the forests of the White Mountain regions largely con serve and control the water sheds of several of the New England rivers, namely: the Connecticut, the Merri- mac and the Saco, thus directly link ing this problem to vast commercial interests in five out of the six New England states. Tn the state of Con- neclcuC the interests or navigation on the Connecticut river alone make 1t proper that this bill should pass con gross. fS
 The resolutions also speak of the benefits that would be derived from a national sanitorium in the White Mountains, and 1t is also urged that if the trees are continually being cut year after year, the beauty and health fulness of the White Mountains will be destroyed.
