Car employs $1,000 wood police, who cut II,
100000 tons year, chiefly for firewood.
Twenty years ago wood-cutters in the United
States felled timber covering 10, 900 acres daily
but this wholesale destruction brought about
such serious evils that of late measures have
been taken, both by public authorities and
private persons, for preserving existing trees
and woods and for extensive planting where
the ground is bare of timber.

IT rs a common observation that when one
is in sorrow or depressed and looks around he
will surely find someone worse off than him.
self. It is quite likely this country has gen.
orally suffered more than usual this year in
.ae matter of railway and trolley service from
many SHOWS. Surely the. roads have never
been so bad for such long period of time as
during this winter. But we are not the only
people who live where SHOWS fall and therbliz-
card RACES The worst snow drifts experienced
by any railroad are said to be those in Sweden.
Although the cold is not so intense as in some
of our Western States, the snowfall is heavy
and continuous. The snow plows of various
kinds which are used on those roads are said
to be the most powerful in the world. There
are times. however, when even the machinery
fails elesr the way, when hundreds OF men
must be employed to dig out the stalled trains.
In COMMON with the community generally
the editors of THE UNION lament the death OF
Mr.. William H. Ruby, editor and proprietor
of the Maryland Journal. More than forty
years ago he established his paper here, when
the prospects for the success of the enterprise
were nv no means bright. Fortunately for
him soon thereafter there came great politi-
cal change. the cause which he espoused was
triumphant and the success of his paper was
assured. From that time on he devoted all his
energies To his business and success crowned
bis efforts. Mr.. Ruby. although strict par
tisan, was at the same time man of the most
generous impulses and naturally he made,
with his success in business. wide circle OF
friends. He enjoyed this prosperity and pleas
ant association until failing health compelled
him to relax his business efforts and latterlv
sse had been physically unable to devote the
sanas attention to his work that he had FORM
,erlv done. But he was always the same
genial and .eompanionable friend and his death
has laft a void thst cannot easily be filled.

A GREAT band of hungry crows attacked the
hog-pen of farmer at Camden, N. j., few
days ago and before they could be driven off
succeeded in killing eighteen valuable young
pigs. 1t is said the birds were ravenous from
hunger and actually fought those who went
to drive them off. Clubs had to be used by
the men, so vigorously did the crows dispute
the ground with them.

THE CITY of Washington expects to have
two hundred thousand visitors today to wit
ness the Inauguration of President Roosevelt.
It is thought that from the ball, the sale of
seats on hestands, privileges, ETC., the receipts
will amount to something like $4,000, the
ball alone being expected to yield $4,000. The
inaugural committee will thus be enabled not
only to meet every obligation, but will have a
large surplus which will go to the orphan
asylums of the city. Lieutenant. General
Chaffee will be grand marshal of the inaugural
parade.
