The ice was covered with snow, but the
water rose over it, and a gentleman
who is staying at the lake said. yester-
day, that the ice was just right for ice
yachting. and the only thing that was

Hon. T.. b. Ring, commissioner OF
forestry. was at his desk III the depart
ment, yesterday and in conversation
with visitor regarding the numbering
outlook, stated that the present season
was proving one of the most favorable
for logging that the Maine lumbermen
had experienced for years. The cut this
year will, he said, be above the aver
age. The season has been especially
good for yarding. There is at present
about {, foot and a half or two feet OF
snow in the woods, making excellent
hauling, and the work of yarding is
practically done. The same is true of
both the lumber regions on the Kenne-
tee and PenObScOt rivers, and no better
conditions could be asked for than
those which have prevailed up to the
present time. The water is low, how
ever, i'll the lakes and rivers ana some
heavy rains are needed to bring the
water ways up to the proper pitch by
the time that the spring work begins.

The war Upon Graft.

The conviction of United States
Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon
shows thst no station, however high,
can save person from punishment
for violation of law in this country
when the evidence against him is
clear. Mitchell was charged with
violating the provision of the United
States statute which declares that
''No senator, after his election and
during his continuance in office,
shall receive or agree to receive any
compensation whatever, directly or
indirectly, for any services rendered
or to be rendered to any person,
either by himself or another, in re-
lstion to any proceeding, contract,
claim, controversy or other matter or
thing in which the United States is
. party, or directly or indirectly in-
terssted. before any department,
bureau, officer, or any civil, military
or naval commission whatever" The
senator held one Of the highest Off
ces in the country's gift. He had
been prominent in politics and in
social life for q third Of century.
He is 70 years Of age, is wealthy,
had powerful friends all over the
country and all the resources which
money and legal skill could supply
were at his command. Yet he was
convicted by . jury of his neighbors,
and the evidence against him was SO
strong that eleven jurors were for
from the outset. aud the
twelfth was soon won over to their
side.

a oalutarv warning.

The decision of the Kansas su-
prsms court that the state has no
authority under its present oonsti-
tuition to build an oil refinery will
doubtless be . strong disappointment
to those most interested in leading
the attack upon Standard Oil in that
state.
But it is we'll for all concerned to
rsmsmber that constitutions may de-
lay, but they cannot prevent the OK.
scutions Of the popular will. Con-
stitutions were made to be amended,
for it is only by means Of such q
provision that they can be saved
from destruction when they become
unfit to serve the purpose of the
sovereign people.
The Kansas outbreak against the
Standard Oil company was prscipi:
tatsd by the folly ind insolence Of
local corporation officials, and the
higher powers now have an oppor.
tunity to repair the damage that has
been done their interests. It will bs
we'll for them il they take advantage
Of the delay, for it il certain that q
continuance Of their past policy Of in.
difference to public sentiment and
violation of public rights will result
in state competition and stringent
state regulation, not only in Kansas
but in other states as well.-Pusble

At a time when the United States

The kookaburra, or, as 1t Is generally
called, 1.-THE laughing jackass," is COM
mon IL Australia, where its presence Is
fostered and beloved by the population
of the island continent. The ringing
laugh of the feathered comedian Is
welcome music to antipodeans, and its
presence in the depths Of the melan-
choly Australian bush is as high light
on somber picture. Great indeed is
the astonishment of visitors to Austria
Lin who for the first time hear the won
derful burst Of laughter to which this
remarkable bird gives vent. Its laugh
Is intensely human, and it seems re-
markable act Of Providence that the
little creature is to be found amid such
fitting environment. After hours and
hours of lonely journeying through the
great silent bush, which engendcrs
melancholy thought, comes the mirth
provoking outburst of this strange bird
like ray of sunshine on cloudy sky.
