Incorporation is OPPOSED
Residents of WATERFOWL Who Signed
Petition Now Object.

There seems to be considerable op-

town, because, according to the terms
OF the petition that has been signed.
the ground on which the Western Hos
pital for the Insane stands is included
within the boundaries of the proposed
village.
The hospital is state property and
the DIRECTORS claim the injustice lies
in the fact that no taxes can be deriv-
ed from the state, yet large number
Of men would be made voters who
would pay nothing to aid in the sup
port of the village
Some of the most strenuous of the
DIRECTORS are men who signed the pc,
titiCn for incorporation. They have
had an afterthought, that's all.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 1s.-
The state department received an
important report from the American
consul Atwell, in Roubaix, France.
which, 1t is expected. will open a new
era OF prosperity for the American
lumber industry. The report deals
with the French process Of treating
fresh wood by means Of sugar and
neat, which. it is asserted. preserves
the wood and gives to it the appear
ance of age. According to Consul At
wells report. specimens Of the sugar.
seasoned wood have been exported to
different tropical countries for trial
and word has come from the Madras
Presidency In India, that specimens
sent there have resisted successfully
the attacks Of white ants. This will
doubtless bring about a revolution In
the export timber trade to tropical
countries. as soft wood treated by the
new process will replace the expen-
sive teak. and eucalyptus that arc
known to resist the ravages Of white
ants.
